Note 1 | Interim Reporting |
While the information presented in the accompanying interim nine months consolidated financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Companys December 31, 2007 annual consolidated financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Companys December 31 2007 annual financial statements. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008. |
|
|
|
Note 2 | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
|
|
The Company was incorporated on June 15, 1998 in the State of Nevada, USA and the Companys common shares are publicly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. |
|
|
|
The Company is in the business of diamond exploration. Management plans to further evaluate, develop and exploit their interests in diamond mineral properties. |

Going Concern |
|
|
|
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $127,774 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available. |

Note 2. Nature and Continuance of Operations
a) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contractsan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (SFAS 163). This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. Those clarifications will increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities. This Statement requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance of this Statement. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement will have no material effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
In May, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Heirarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The sources of accounting principles1 that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order of authority as follows:
a. FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB
b. FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared2 by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position
c. AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics)

The adoption of this statement will have no material effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. The Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more complete picture of the location in an entitys financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entitys liquidity from using derivatives. Finally, this Statement requires cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial statements locate important information about derivative instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2008 and
March 31, 2008, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(hereinafter SFAS No. 133), as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective
Date of FASB No. 133, and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 149, Amendment
of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. These
statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments
at fair value.

Note 2. Nature and Continuance of Operations Contd
a) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Contd
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
At September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
b) Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which, at times, may exceed Federal insurance limits. Exposure to credit risk is reduced by placing such deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings.
c) Impairments of Long Lived Assets
Impairment losses on long-lived assets, such as mining claims, are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by such assets are less than their carrying value and, accordingly, all or a portion of such carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying amounts.
d) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The functional currency of the Company's operations is Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities arising from these operations are translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at the exchange rates in effect at the time the revenue or expense is incurred. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders' deficiency while foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in operations.
The Company recorded a foreign currency (gain) loss of $nil during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

e) Mining Costs
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. Management's decision to develop or mine a property is based on an assessment of the viability of the property and the availability of financing. The Company will capitalize mining exploration and other related costs attributable to reserves when a definitive feasibility study establishes proven and probable reserves. Capitalized mining costs will be expensed using the unit of production method and will also be subject to an impairment assessment.
f) Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
g) Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3. Stockholders Equity
Net loss per common share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic loss per share. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted averaged number of shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
The Company has no warrants or options outstanding at September 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
The following discussion provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of our Company. It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Plan of Operation
GEOLOGICAL REPORT: SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN
The Company has several specific exploration objectives:
(1) To locate one or more Kimberlite/Lamproite pipes, dykes or
sills;
(2) To determine whether the Kimberlite/Lamproite contains Diamonds;
and
(3) To determine if the diamond-bearing pipe could be the source of an
economically viable mine.
Even if the Company locates Kimberlite, the finding of diamonds in Kimberlite is rare and the finding of a commercial grade of diamonds is rarer.
We believe that exploration is by its very nature is evolutionary. Each subsequent step is based on the foundation established by previous results. Even then, diverse factors affect the process. Weather and seasons influence when work can be commissioned. Previous results determine the direction for future exploration and the availability of funds dictates what work can be budgeted for each phase of exploration.
The Company has completed its initial phase of work on the Scout Lake properties and now intends to continue the initial phase of work on some of its other properties in the Wood Mountain District. The results at our Scout Lake properties do not warrant spending further time and money at this location. Phase one work should consist of a ground magnetometer survey at approximately 500 meter line-spacing. At the same time, surface samples should be taken of till for heavy mineral evaluation. About 50 samples would cover the grid area satisfactorily. If results warrant, a few lines of gravimetric surveying could be done. Two or three RC drill holes (about 500 meter) would then test the anomaly.

Phase Two - Regional Program
The regional program of exploration is being proposed to locate kimberlite diatremes. At present, we have regional to detailed heavy mineral anomalies and regional to detailed magnetic anomalies. Unfortunately, the heavy mineral dispersion is too widespread and the magnetic anomalies are too numerous to allow reasonable drill target selection. The following systematic approach may help us to alleviate this problem:
Regional Structural Study
Kimberlite pipe emplacement is governed by deep-seated structures that penetrate stable Archean Cratons and allow the rapid rise of lower mantle ultramafic magmas through diamond-bearing strata. Some of the major structures in southern Saskatchewan are known, but it appears that a satellite imagery interpretation, in particular of radar data, would be of value to us.
Regional Heavy Mineral Study
Heavy mineral data is already available to us from the government and other available for purchase proprietary surveys. However, a large proportion of the area of our interest remains without data.
It is proposed that a detailed heavy mineral survey be conducted over the area with one sample being taken per township to start. The usual method of processing heavy mineral samples, which includes, washing, sizing, gravity separation by jig, tables or heavy liquids, microscopic hand-picking and microprobe analysis would be prohibitively expensive. Therefore, the following processing methodology is suggested:
(a) Sample till or stream sediments (about 20 kg).
(b) Wash
and sieve sample in the field or nearby portable equipment to obtain a clean,
sized fraction suitable for hydrosizing.
(c) Use a laboratory-sized
elutriator (hydrosizer) to obtain a sized, heavy mineral fraction. Adjust
density to retain all indicator minerals.
(d) Analyze for chromium and nickel
and other trace elements by total fusion and ICP. This will provide an indicator
for ultramafic rocks.
(e) Plot results and evaluate for trends.
(f) Some
detailed HM testing, - microprobing grain-picking.
Wood Mountain Formation Study
Heavy minerals including standard indicator minerals and micro-diamonds have been recovered from the unconsolidated sand and gravel deposits of the Wood Mountain formation. We believe that a heavy mineral study of this formation and a paleo-current study should be undertaken. The samples should be processed in the same manner as in the "Regional Heavy Mineral Study."

Phase Three - Drilling and Confirmation
The goal of this phase will be to locate anomalous areas by the use of ground magnetic surveys, and to prioritize each for test drilling.
Gravimetric Surveys will be completed over the ground magnetic anomalies - 1 or 2 lines per anomaly. Test Drilling will then be conducted to test the best targets.

The Company's business plan for the year 2008 will consist of further exploration on the properties over which we hold mineral exploration claims and options. As part of Phase Two, the Company also plans to continue staking strategically important areas as more information becomes available with respect to the geology of Southern Saskatchewan. The Company intends to use third party
7
contractors to collect soil samples, process and analyze the results, plot drill targets, drill the identified targets and other exploration related work. The Company completed its drill program at Scout Lake in 2005. The results of the drill program do not warrant spending further time and money at this location. The main thrust of our program will now be in the Val Marie area of the Wood Mountain district in Southern Saskatchewan. As of March 31, 2008 the Company has 55 mineral claims in Southern Saskatchewan.
The combination of numerous indicator minerals (pyrope garnets and chrome diopsides) and magnetic anomalies make this area a prime target. The indicator mineral suite is identical chemically to that of the Fort a la Corne district.
An early drilling program is anticipated for this area. Additional targets in the Wood Mountain district and other areas will also be investigated. Keating analysis of existing geophysical data over the Company's claim holdings has identified 6 potential diamond targets, including the 3 targets that were previously designated as high priority drill targets. Preliminary investigation of these targets will be carried out to assess the possibility of diamond deposits existing on the Company's properties.
The Company estimates that we will require approximately $2,000,000 Canadian to conduct its full exploration program over a two year period. This amount will be used to pay for prospecting and geological mapping, airborne surveys, lodging and food for workers, transportation of workers to and from the work sites, fuel, pick-up truck rentals, assays, drilling, equipment rental, additional claim staking, and supervision.
The officers and directors have agreed to pay all costs and expenses of having the Company comply with the federal securities laws (and being a public company) should the Company be unable to do so. We estimate that these costs will be approximately $20,000 per year. Our officers and directors have also agreed to pay the other expenses of the Company, excluding those direct costs and expenses of data gathering and mineral exploration, should the Company be unable to do so. To implement our business plan, we will need to secure financing for our business development. We have no source for funding at this time.
If we are unable to raise additional funds to satisfy our reporting obligations, investors will no longer have access to current financial and other information about our business affairs.
Additional funding to conduct either our full exploration program or a partial exploration program will depend upon our ability to secure loans or obtain either private or public financing. We have had some preliminary negotiations for funding that have been unsuccessful and we currently have not undertaken any further negotiations. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funding on any terms or terms acceptable to us and if adequate funds are not available, we believe that our business development will be adversely affected. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue in business.
