In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60,” or SFAS 163. SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It 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, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 163 but does not expect that it will have a significant effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

During the period ended August 31, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire an undivided 100% interest in a mineral claim (known as the “Minnie Claim”) located in the Leecher Creek Mining District, Okanogan County, Washington. The consideration was $6,000 cash (paid) on execution of the agreement.

During the quarter ended November 30, 2008, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire an undivided interest in a series of ten mineral claims (collectively referred to as the “Blue Jack Claims”) located in Humboldt County, Nevada. The consideration was $16,000 (paid) on execution of the agreement.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute "forward-looking statements.” These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” "anticipate,” "believe,” "estimate,” "should,” "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption "Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly our periodic reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms "we,” "us,” "our,” “Yaterra” and the “Company” mean Yaterra Ventures Corp. unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Overview

We were incorporated on November 20, 2006 pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada.

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Currently, we hold a 100% interest in two mineral properties that we call the “Blue Jack Property” and the “Minnie Claim,” respectively. The Blue Jack Property is comprised of 10 mineral claims covering approximately 206 acres located in Humboldt County, Nevada. The Minnie Claim covers an area of 20 acres, located in the Leecher Creek Mining Division, Washington State. Our plan is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Blue Jack Property and the Minnie Claim in order to assess whether they possess mineral deposits of lead, zinc, copper, silver, gold or uranium capable of commercial extraction.

We have not earned any revenues to date. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on our mineral properties, or that, if such deposits are discovered, we will be able to enter into further substantial exploration or development programs. Further exploration is required to determine the economic and legal feasibility of our mineral properties.

PLAN OF OPERATION

During the next twelve months and subject to our ability to obtain additional financing, we intend to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Blue Jack Property and the Minnie Claim in order to assess whether they possess mineral reserves capable of commercial extraction. Our exploration program is designed to explore for commercially viable deposits of lead, zinc, copper, silver, gold or uranium mineralization. We have not, nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of these minerals on our mineral properties.

Blue Jack Property

Our plan is to conduct Phase Ia of our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property in Spring 2009. However, we will require additional financing in order to implement our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property. If we are able to raise additional financing, of which there is no assurance, our plan for the Blue Jack Property is as follows.

3

Due to the limited availability of our consulting geologist, implementation of Phase Ia of our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property is expected to be completed in Spring 2009. Our ability to implement Phase 1a of our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property is subject to our obtaining additional financing.

Minnie Claim

Although we have commenced Phase I of our exploration program on the Minnie Claim, we have decided to delay our exploration program in order to focus our resources on the Blue Jack Property. Phase I of our exploration program involves a simple work program to fully map and sample the known quartz vein mineralization and to conduct trenching and sampling on the Minnie Claim.

In September 2008, prior to implementing Phase I of our exploration program, our consulting geologist conducted a thorough search for the Discovery Post. A Discovery Post is a post that is required to be placed at the point of discovery on each claim. However, our consulting geologist was unable to find the Discovery Post. As a result, our consulting geologist used the original staking document along with the location of the workings on the property to provide a definitive property boundary location.

Once satisfied with the property boundaries, our consulting geologist commenced Phase I of our exploration program. This initial phase involved the collection of nine rock samples from the Minnie Claim. The samples consisted of outcrop grabs across strike where possible, as well as float samples of mineralized veins near historical workings. These samples were sent to an independent laboratory for testing. In January 2009, we received the fire assay results on the rock samples and they indicated the occurrence of gold mineralization on the Minnie Claim. The fire assay results on the rock samples are summarized as follows:

Note: Conversions to ounces per ton (oz/ton) on the tables above employ a factor of 34285.7 ppb equaling 1 troy ounce per short ton and 34.2857 ppm equaling 1 troy ounce per short ton.

4

Based on the results we have received, the balance of the Phase I exploration program will consist of trenching and sampling on the vein along strike and on rock adjacent to the vein. This follow up program will allow us to confirm the above results and determine the width of the vein. We have decided to delay the balance of Phase I of our exploration program until we obtain additional financing. We have decided to focus our resources on our exploration program of the Blue Jack Property.

We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:

To date, we have not earned any revenues and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the near future. As at November 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of $9,939. As such, we do not have sufficient financial resources to meet the anticipated costs of completing our exploration program for the Blue Jack Property and the Minnie Claim. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our plan of operation and meet our current obligations as they come due. We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors outside of our control, including the results from our exploration program, and any unanticipated problems relating to our mineral exploration activities, such as environmental assessments and additional costs and expenses that may exceed our current estimates. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us in which case our business will fail.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary of First Quarter Results

Revenue

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

Expenses

Our expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted of the following:

5

Our expenses during the three months ended November 30, 2008 increased as a result of increased accounting and audit fees, management fees, mineral property exploration costs and office and administration fees.

Increases in accounting and audit fees and professional fees primarily relate to fees incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of our Registration Statement on Form S-1.

Management fees consisted of the amounts paid to our President, Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Bousquet, our Vice-President, Finance, Mr. Ryan, and our Executive Vice President, Mr. Epp.

Increases in mineral property exploration costs are due to expenses incurred in connection with mineral exploration work conducted on the Minnie Claim.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital

As of November 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of $9,939 and a working capital deficit of $16,039. The decrease in our working capital is primarily a result of the fact that we had no sources of revenue during the three months ended November 30, 2008. We have incurred a cumulative net loss of $184,250 for the period from the date of our inception on November 20, 2006 to November 30, 2008 and have not attained profitable operations to date.

Since our inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for our operations and to fund our property acquisitions. We have not obtained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining additional financing to pursue our plan of operation.

During the three months ended November 30, 2008, we raised proceeds of $60,000 from the sale of 120,000 shares of our common stock.

6

Future Financings

We currently do not have sufficient financial resources to implement Phase Ia of our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property. Therefore, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to implement our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property and on the Minnie Claim.

We anticipate relying on equity sales of our common stock or loans in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuance of additional securities will result in dilution to shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities. Currently, we do not have any arrangements for additional financing.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to our audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2008 included in our Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed with the SEC on January 8, 2009.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Exploration Stage Enterprise

Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 (“SFAS 7”), “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises,” as we devote substantially all of our efforts to acquiring and exploring mineral properties. Until such properties are acquired and developed, we will continue to prepare our financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration stage.

Mineral Property Interests

We are an exploration stage mining company and have not yet realized any revenue from our operations. We are primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Exploration costs are expensed as incurred regardless of the stage of development or existence of reserves. Costs of acquisition are capitalized subject to impairment testing, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards 144 (“FAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” when facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist.

We regularly perform evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of our investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Management periodically reviews the carrying value of our investments in mineral leases and claims with internal and external mining related professionals. A decision to abandon, reduce or expand a specific project is based upon many factors including general and specific assessments of mineral deposits, anticipated future mineral prices, anticipated future costs of exploring, developing and operating a production mine, the expiration term and ongoing expenses of maintaining mineral properties and the general likelihood that we will continue exploration on such project. We do not set a pre-determined holding period for properties with unproven deposits; however,

7

properties which have not demonstrated suitable metal concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted, whether there has been any impairment in value and that their carrying values are appropriate.

If an area of interest is abandoned or it is determined that its carrying value cannot be supported by future production or sale, the related costs are charged against operations in the year of abandonment or determination of value. The amounts recorded as mineral leases and claims represent costs to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

Our exploration activities and proposed mine development are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing, generally becoming more restrictive. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

The accumulated costs of properties that are developed on the stage of commercial production will be amortized to operations through unit-of-production depletion.

Not Applicable.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended November 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

None.

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

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.

As at November 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of approximately $9,939. Although we commenced Phase I of our exploration program on the Minnie Claim in September 2008, we have decided to delay our exploration program in order to focus our resources on the exploration program on the Blue Jack Property. Our ability to implement Phases 1a, 1b and 1c of our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property will be subject to our obtaining additional financing. If we decide to complete Phase I and implement Phases II and III of the exploration program on the Minnie Claim, we will need to obtain additional financing. We intend to apply for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our ability to obtain additional financing could be subject to a number of factors outside of our control, including the results from our exploration program, and any unanticipated problems relating to our mineral exploration activities, including environmental assessments and additional costs and expenses that may exceed our current estimates. However, we believe that, if our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, our ability to raise additional funds from investors will be enhanced. If we are unable to obtain additional financing in the amounts and when needed, our business could fail.

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.

Investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Our mineral properties do not contain a known body of commercial ore and, therefore, any program conducted on our mineral properties would be an exploratory search of ore. There is no certainty that any expenditures made in the exploration of our mineral properties will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of ore. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration program do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon our possessing sufficient capital resources to purchase such claims. If we do not have sufficient capital resources and are unable to obtain sufficient financing, we may be forced to abandon our operations.

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

We are in the initial phases of our exploration program for the Blue Jack Property and the Minnie Claim. It is unknown whether these properties contain viable mineral reserves. If we do not find a viable mineral reserve, or if we cannot exploit the mineral reserve, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it will not be economically feasible to do it, we may have to cease operations and investors may lose their investment. Mineral exploration is a highly speculative endeavor. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. Even if mineral reserves are discovered on our properties our production capabilities will be subject to further risks and uncertainties including:

9

The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling facilities and processing equipment near the Blue Jack Property or the Minnie Claim, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection.

We face significant competition in the mineral exploration industry.

We compete with other mining and exploration companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than we do. Due to our weaker competitive position, we may have greater difficulty in hiring and retaining qualified personnel to conduct our planned exploration activities, which could cause delays in our exploration programs. In addition, there is significant competition for a limited number of mineral properties. Due to our weaker financial position, we may be unable to acquire rights to new mineral properties on a continuing basis.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may result in our inability to complete our planned exploration program and/or obtain additional financing to fund our exploration program.

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

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration. We are subject to the laws of the States of Nevada and Washington as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these laws. If we enter the production phase, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage. Examples of regulatory requirements include:

At this stage of our development, the annual cost of complying with regulatory requirements in the States of Nevada and Washington is expected to be minimal. There is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. We will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of

10

exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work program. If remediation costs exceed our cash reserves we may be unable to complete our exploration program and have to abandon our operations.

Because our executive officers and directors do not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk that our business will fail.

None of our executive officers and directors has any formal training as a geologist. With the exception of Mr. Gorrill, our executive officers and directors have only limited training in the technical aspects of managing a mineral exploration company. With very limited direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Our management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry.

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

Our success will largely depend on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel with experience in geological exploration. These individuals may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract the staff we need. In addition, 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. Currently, we have not hired any key personnel. Our failure to hire key personnel when needed could have a significant negative effect on our business.

Because the prices of metals fluctuate, if the price of metals for which we are exploring decreases below a specified level, it may no longer be profitable to explore for those metals and we will cease operations.

Metal prices are determined by such factors as expectations for inflation, the strength of the United States dollar, global and regional supply and demand, and political and economic conditions and production costs in metals producing regions of the world. The aggregate effect of these factors on metal prices is impossible for us to predict. In addition, the prices of metals such as lead, zinc, copper, silver, gold or uranium are sometimes subject to rapid short-term and/or prolonged changes because of speculative activities. The current demand for and supply of these metals affect the metal prices, but not necessarily in the same manner as current supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of these metals primarily consists of new production from mining. If the prices of the metals are, for a substantial period, below our foreseeable cost of production, it may not be economical for us to continue operations and investors could lose their entire investment.

Because our President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director, Jarrett F. Bousquet, owns 55.2% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that corporate decisions controlled by Mr. Bousquet are inconsistent with the interests of other stockholders.

Jarrett F. Bousquet, our President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director, controls 55.2% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, in accordance with our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, Mr. Bousquet is able to control who is elected to our board of directors and thus could act, or could have the power to act, as our management. Since Mr. Bousquet is not simply a passive investor, but is also our principal executive officer, his interests as an executive officer may, at times, be adverse to those of passive investors. Where those conflicts exist, our shareholders will be dependent upon Mr. Bousquet exercising, in a manner fair to all of our shareholders, his fiduciary duties as an officer or as a member of our board of directors. Also, due to his stock ownership position, Mr. Bousquet will have: (i) the ability to control the outcome of most corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including amendments to our Articles of Incorporation; (ii) the ability to control corporate combinations or similar transactions that might benefit minority stockholders which may be rejected by Mr. Bousquet to their detriment, and (iii) control over transactions between him and Yaterra.

11

We will likely conduct further offerings of our equity securities in the future, in which case our stockholders’ interest may become diluted.

We completed an offering of 6,100,000 pre-reverse split shares of our common stock at a price of $0.02 per pre-reverse split share to investors on June 30, 2007. As a result of a 1-for-10 reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock completed on August 12, 2008, these investors now own an aggregate of 610,000 shares of our common stock. We also completed a second offering of 120,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share to investors on September 30, 2008. Since our inception, we have relied on such sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We will likely be required to conduct additional equity offerings in the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, stockholders' percentage interest in us could become diluted.

If a market for our common stock does not develop, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares.

There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that a market will develop. We intend to apply for quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. If our common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, stockholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment.

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

The shares of our common stock constitute a penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain classified as a penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification as a penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than having to comply with these rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell a penny stock.

During the three months ended November 30, 2008, we completed a private placement of 120,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share on September 30, 2008. We completed the offering pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). Each purchaser represented to us that they were not a “US person” as defined in Regulation S. We did not engage in a distribution of this offering in the United States.

We registered the resale of 730,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) offered by our selling stockholders at a price of $0.50 per share pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1/A under the Securities Act (the “Offering”). The SEC declared our Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (File No. 333-155992), effective at 12:00 p.m. (EST) on January 13, 2009 (the “Effective Date”). We did not sell any shares of our common stock in the Offering and therefore will not receive any proceeds from the Offering.
