BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

   

The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011. The Company assumes that the readers of these interim financial statements herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, has been omitted. The results of operations for the three month period ended November 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending August 31, 2012.

   

Organization

   

Yaterra Ventures Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on November 20, 2006. The Company’s principal executive offices are in Bellingham, Washington, U.S.A.

   

Exploration Stage Activities

   

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage natural resource properties. The Company has not commenced business operations. The Company is an exploration stage company as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“S.E.C.”) Industry Guide No. 7.

   

Going Concern

   

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

     

Going Concern (Continued)

     

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $684,406 for the period from November 20, 2006 (inception) to November 30, 2011, and has no sales. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its natural resource properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

     

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates.

     
2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     

The financial statements have been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

     
a)

Organization and Start-up Costs

     

Costs of start up activities, including organizational and incorporation costs, are expensed as incurred.

     
b)

Exploration Stage Enterprise

     

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Until such properties are acquired and developed, the Company will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration stage.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     
c)

Mineral Property Interests

     

The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is 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 when facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist.

     

The Company regularly performs evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of its 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 its 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 producing mine, the expiration term and ongoing expenses of maintaining mineral properties and the general likelihood that the Company will continue exploration on such project. The Company does not set a pre-determined holding period for properties with unproven deposits, however, 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.

     

The Company's exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing, generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     
d)

Cash

     

Cash consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions, and to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances. The carrying amounts approximate fair market value due to the liquidity of these deposits.

     
e)

Financial Instruments

     

All financial instruments are classified into one of five categories; held-for-trading, held- to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale assets or liabilities. All instruments and derivatives are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized costs. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of operations. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the instrument is derecognized or impaired.

     

The Company classified its cash as held-for-trading, excess of checks issued over funds on deposit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accounts payable to related parties, promissory notes payable and promissory notes payable to related parties as other financial liabilities, all of which are measured at amortized cost.

     
f)

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

     

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At November 30, 2011, the Company has no common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     
g)

Income Taxes

     

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the substantive enactment date.

     

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against that excess.

     
h)

Foreign Currency Translation

     

The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:


  i)

monetary items are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

  ii)

non-monetary items are translated at the historical exchange rate;

  iii)

revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.


 

The Company has an operating bank account held in Canadian dollars that may expose them to certain translation risks due to foreign exchange fluctuations between the Canadian and US currencies. Foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in the statement of operations for the period.

     
  i)

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     
i)

Use of Estimates (Continued)

     

Significant accounts that require estimates as a basis for determining the stated amounts include mineral property acquisition costs and impairment, accrued liabilities and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.

     
j)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. In such cases, the amount of the impairment is determined based on the relative fair values of the impaired assets. The Company tests the recoverability of the assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.

     
k)

Asset Retirement Obligations

     

An asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that the Company is required to settle. The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for the ARO in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability.

     

The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flows, discounted at the Company's credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.

     
l)

Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs

     

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restorations costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary from region to region and are not predictable.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     
l)

Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs (Continued)

     

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against the statement of operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits. The Company does not currently anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities because its property holding is at an early stage of exploration.

     
m)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:


  Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

   

  Level 2:

Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

   

  Level 3:

Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company classified its cash as Level 1.

3.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   

In May 2011, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that fair value measurements and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.

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.

Forward looking statements are based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable at the date the such statement are made.

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

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

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

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”. 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. We plan to focus our resources on the Blue Jack Property in order to assess whether it possesses mineral deposits of gold, silver, copper and rare earth minerals capable of commercial extraction.

In September 2011, we allowed our option to acquire up to a 60% interest in the Frances Property located in the Vancouver Mining Division, British Columbia to lapse. We made this determination in order to focus our financial resources on implementing an exploration program on the Blue Jack Property.

In November 2011, we completed a preliminary rock sampling program on the Blue Jack Property. The results of this initial program indicated that the Blue Jack Property contained anomalous values of rare earth minerals. Based on these results, we plan to commence Phase I of the Blue Jack exploration program in Spring 2012. See “Plan of Operation.”

3


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.

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 in order to assess whether it possesses mineral reserves capable of commercial extraction. We have decided to suspend our operations on the Minnie Claim in order to focus our resources on the Blue Jack Property.

Blue Jack Property

Our plan is to conduct Phase I(a) of our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property in Spring 2012. However, we will require additional financing in order to implement Phase I(a) of 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:

Phase Recommended Exploration Program Estimated
Cost
Status
Phase I(a) Detailed geological mapping and radiometric surveys and soil and rock sampling along grid. $25,700 To be implemented in Spring 2012, subject to obtaining additional financing.
Phase I(b) Geophysical survey (IP and magnetometer). $43,050 Planned for Spring 2012.
Phase II(a) Trenching and geochemical analysis $40,500 Dependent on the Results of Phases I(a) and I(b)

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


Category
Planned Expenditures Over
The Next 12 Months (US$)
Legal and Accounting Fees $30,000
Office Expenses 6,000
Consulting Fees 48,000
Phase I Exploration Expenses 68,750
TOTAL $152,750

To date, we have not earned any revenues and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the near future. As at November 30, 2011, we had no cash on hand. As such, we do not have sufficient financial resources to meet the anticipated costs of completing our exploration program for the Blue Jack Property. 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. Our Board of Directors approved an offering of up to $100,000 of 10% convertible notes (the “Offering”) pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. Completion of the Offering is 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.

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, 2011 and 2010 consisted of the following:

                Percentage  
    Three Months Ended     Three Months Ended     Increase /  
    November 30, 2011     November 30, 2010     (Decrease)  
Accounting and Audit $  9,616   $  9,238     4.1%

Travel and Promotion   197     172     14.5%  
Total Expenses $  30,399   $  38,298     (20.6)%  

Our operating expenses decreased from $38,298, during the three months ended November 30, 2010, to $30,399, during the three months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in professional fees, management fees, office and administration and depreciation. This was partially offset by increases in accounting and audit expenses, mineral property exploration costs, bank charges and interest, transfer agent and filing fees and travel and promotion expenses.

Audit and accounting expenses and professional expenses primarily relate to expenses incurred in connection with meeting our ongoing reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

Management fees consists of fees incurred to our directors and officers.

Mineral exploration costs relate to costs incurred with our preliminary rock sampling program on the Blue Jack Property in November 2011.

If we are able to obtain sufficient financing to proceed with our plan of operation, of which there is no assurance, we expect that our expenses will increase significantly as we engage in mining and exploration activities.

Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities   13,234     18,777  
Increase (Decrease) In Cash During Period $  (1,654 ) $  817  

As of November 30, 2011, we had no cash on hand and a working capital deficit of $515,406. The increase in our working capital deficit is primarily a result of: (i) an increase in accounts payable due to a lack of capital to meet our ongoing expenditures; and (ii) the fact that we received $17,630 in short term loans from related parties. The loans bear interest at 10%, are unsecured and due on demand. We have incurred a cumulative net loss of $684,406 for the period from the date of our inception on November 20, 2006 to November 30, 2011 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.

Future Financings

We currently do not have sufficient financial resources to implement Phase I(a) 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.

On December 9, 2011, our Board of Directors approved an offering of up to $100,000 of 10% convertible notes (the “Offering”). The Offering will be completed pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act to persons who are not U.S. Persons as contemplated under Regulation S. The proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund our business and for working capital purposes. There is no assurance that the Offering will be completed on the above terms or at all.

Our plan of operation calls for us to spend significantly more than our current capital resources or the amount of financing that we have been able to obtain to date. As such, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to raise significant financing to complete our stated plan of operation. Any substantial financing that we are able to obtain is expected to be in the form of equity 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 that is material to stockholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

Significant accounts that require estimates as a basis for determining the stated amounts include mineral property acquisition costs and impairment, accrued liabilities and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.

Exploration Stage Enterprise

Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. 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 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.

Our 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 producing 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 predetermined holding period for properties with unproven deposits; however, 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.

ITEM 3.                QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4.                CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) as of November 30, 2011, (“Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2011 (the "2011 Annual Report").

Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in our 2011 Annual Report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2011 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

ITEM 1A.              RISK FACTORS.

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

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

As at November 30, 2011, we had no cash on hand. Our ability to implement our exploration program on the Blue Jack Property will be subject to our obtaining additional financing. 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. Our Board of Directors approved an offering of up to $100,000 of 10% convertible notes (the “Offering”) pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). 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 phase of our exploration program for the Blue Jack Property. It is unknown whether this property contains 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



  (i)

Costs of bringing the property into production including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities, all of which we have not budgeted for;

  (ii)

Availability and costs of financing;

  (iii)

Ongoing costs of production; and

  (iv)

Environmental compliance regulations and restraints.

The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling facilities and processing equipment near the Blue Jack Property 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 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:

  (i)

Water discharge will have to meet drinking water standards;

  (ii)

Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;

  (iii)

Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated with natural vegetation;

  (iv)

An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;

  (v)

Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;

  (vi)

The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and

  (vii)

There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora including a study of potentially endangered species.

At this stage of our development, the annual cost of complying with regulatory requirements in the State of Nevada 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 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.

10


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, David K. Ryan, owns 55.2% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that corporate decisions controlled by Mr. Ryan are inconsistent with the interests of other stockholders.

David K. Ryan, 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. Ryan 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. Ryan 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. Ryan 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. Ryan 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. Ryan to their detriment, and (iii) control over transactions between him and Yaterra.

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

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.

The quotation price of our common stock may be volatile, with the result that an investor may not be able to sell any shares acquired at a price equal to or greater than the price paid by the investor.

Our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "YTRVE.” Companies quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board have traditionally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In addition, our stock price may be adversely affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result of this potential volatility and potential lack of a trading market, an investor may not be able to sell any of our common stock that they acquire at a price equal or greater than the price paid by the investor.

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

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:

1.

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

   
2.

contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;

   
3.

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

12



4.

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

   
5.

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

   
6.

contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

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