(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the financial statements
October 31, 2009
(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
---------
1) Interim reporting
The information presented in the accompanying interim six months financial
statements is unaudited. The information 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. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting
policies and methods of their application as the Company's April 30, 2009
annual financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in
conjunction with the Company's April 30, 2009 annual financial statements.
2) Basis of Presentation
These 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 October 31, 2009, the
Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of
$3,719,443 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of
$3,119,123 (April 30, 2009 - $3,021,549) and expects to incur further losses
in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's
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.
The results of operations for the six month period ending October 31, 2009
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending April 30, 2010.
These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the April 30, 2009 audited financial statements of the Company.
3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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, which have been made using careful
judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion been properly prepared
within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the
significant accounting policies summarized below:

Notes to the financial statements

(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
---------
3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
a) Use of estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
c) Long-lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the statements of Financial
Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" and "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets" ("SFAS No. 142 and 144"). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144,
long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the
recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the
recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to
the long-lived assets.
d) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar as
substantially all of the Company's operations were in the United States.
The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency for
consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") and in accordance with the SFAS No. 52.
Assets and liabilities dominated in a foreign currency were translated at the
exchange rate in effect at the period end and capital accounts are translated
at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average
rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments
arising from the use of difference exchange rates from period to period were
included in the cumulative effect of foreign currency translation adjustment
account in stockholders' equity.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of
the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the
transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in the
Statement of Operations.
e) Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the
weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." As of October 31, 2009, there were
no dilutive securities outstanding.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total current assets as of the Company at October 31, 2009 were $235 ($287 -
April 30, 2009) all in cash. Additionally, the Company had a deficit in the
amount of $3,719,443 as of October 31, 2009 ($3,578,169 -April 30, 2009),
Historically the Company has incurred losses and has financed operations
through loans and from the proceeds of the corporation selling shares of our
common stock privately.
The number of common shares outstanding at October 31, 2009 was 35,240,000
(35,240,000 - 2008).
The Company had a negative cash flow of $43,752 from operating activities for
the six months ended October 31, 2009 ($1,433 - 2008), a decrease in cash
outflow of approximately $42,319, resulting from a decrease in accounts
payable and foreign currency translation costs.
Cash inflow from financing activities was $43,700 the six months ended
October 31, 2009 ($nil - 2008) attributable to the renunciation by
consultants to the Company for payment due to the consultants by the Company
and a non-repayable payment for an accounts payable due by the Company.
Cash outflow from investing activities was $nil for the six months ended
October 31, 2009 ($nil - 2008).
The on-going negative cash flow from operations raises substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability to raise additional
capital and implement its business plan.
As of October 31, 2009 the Company had a working capital deficiency of
$3,119,123 ($3,021,549 - April 30, 2009). A major portion of debt is
attributed to payments made for mineral properties, investment in a joint
venture and operating deficiency.
At October 31, 2009 there was no bank debt.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105-10, "The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles".
ASC 105-10 will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are
also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date
of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC
accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC
accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-
authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.The Company
does not expect the adoption of ASC 105-10 to have an impact on the Company's
results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business
operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our
accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular
transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in
their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these
policies on our business operations are discussed throughout Management's
Plan of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected
financial results. Note that our preparation of the financial statements
requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount
of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual
results will not differ from those estimates
Going Concern
The Company has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon
obtaining financing to pursue its business objectives. For these reasons,
the Company's auditors stated in their report on the Company's audited
financial statements that they have substantial doubt the Company will be
able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
The Company may continue to rely on equity sales of the common shares in
order to continue to fund the Company's business operations. Issuances of
additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is
no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of the equity
securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned business
activities.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the six (6) months ended October 31, 2009, there were no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
