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

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the three months ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth below under the heading "Risk Factors".

Name, Incorporation and Principal Offices

We were incorporated as "Shimmer Gold, Inc." on September 7, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

On the date of our incorporation we appointed Tarik G. Elsaghir as our President, Secretary, Treasurer and a director. On March 9, 2007, Shawn Balaghi was appointed as our sole officer and director upon the resignation of Mr. Elsaghir, and Mr. Balaghi continues to serve as our President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and as a director.

Our principal offices are located at 1709 Hampton Drive, Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, V3E 3C9. Our telephone number is (604) 733-0242 and our facsimile number is (604) 288-7559.

Overview

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On June 19, 2007, we acquired a 100% undivided interest in certain placer claims, which are located on McLaren Creek in the Atlin Mining Division of British Columbia. These claims are in good standing until January 23, 2010. Exploration work with a minimum value of CDN$165 (or payment of a fee in life thereof) is required before January 23 of each year in order to maintain the claims in good standing for an additional year.

We have obtained a geological report on the property underlying our mineral claim interest that has recommended a two-phase exploration program with estimated costs of CDN$15,470 for phase one (approximately $14,987, based on the foreign exchange rate on January 13, 2010 of $1.00:CDN$1.0322) and CDN$100,855 for phase two (approximately $97,709, based on the foreign exchange rate on January 13, 2010 of $1.00:CDN$1.0322). Given the other expenditures that we expect to incur within the next twelve months, we will require additional funds to enable us to complete phase one of our recommended work program and cover our other anticipated costs. In addition, we will require additional financing in order to complete phase two our recommended work program and any further exploration of the property to determine whether sufficient mineralized material, if any, exists to justify eventual mining and production.

The property underlying our mineral claim interest does not contain any known mineral deposits or reserves of minerals. Accordingly, exploration of the property is required before any determination as to whether any commercially viable mineral deposit may exist. Our plan of operations is to carry out preliminary exploration work on the property in order to ascertain whether advanced exploration is warranted to determine whether the property possesses commercially exploitable mineral deposits. We will not be able to determine whether or not the property contains a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability.

Exploration Stage Company

We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company because we are involved in the examination and investigation of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the property underlying our mineral claim interest, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on the property underlying our mineral claim interest, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.

Acquisition of the Claims

On June 19, 2007, we entered into a Placer Claims Acquisition Agreement with Jenny Gruber, whereby we acquired a 100% undivided interest in certain placer claims, which are located on McLaren Creek in the Atlin Mining Division of British Columbia, for consideration consisting of $12,000 in cash and 6,000 shares of our common stock at a deemed issuance price of $0.05 per share.

Property Underlying our Claims

We obtained a geological report on the property underlying our mineral claim interest, dated February 2007, which was prepared by Larry W. Carlyle, P. Geo. Due to lack of road maintenance in the winter and snow cover in the area of the property, it was not possible for Mr. Carlyle to visit the property prior to the preparation of the report. As such, the report was prepared from literature research and Mr. Carlyle's familiarity with the area from previous placer exploration done by him near the Nolan Mine on Spruce Creek and on Otter and Pine Creeks.

The following description of the property underlying our mineral claim interest, its history and geology is based on the contents of Mr. Carlyle's report.

Property Description and Location

The property underlying our mineral claim interest is located on McLaren Creek, just above its confluence with the Gladys River in the Atlin Mining District of British Columbia. McLaren Creek is approximately 45 kilometres (36 miles) southeast of Atlin, British Columbia. The property underlying our mineral claim interest covers an area totalling approximately 82.3 hectares. Certain data with respect to our mineral interest claim are as follows:

Access, Climate, Physiography, Local Resources and Infrastructure

As indicated above, the property underlying our mineral claim interest is located on McLaren Creek just above its confluence with the Gladys River in the Atlin Mining District of British Columbia. McLaren Creek is approximately 45 kilometres (36 miles) southeast of Atlin, British Columbia. Atlin, British Columbia has year-round road access to Jakes Corner, Yukon Territory, on the Alaska Highway. Jakes Corner is approximately 50 miles (63 kilometres) south of Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory. Whitehorse offers air and truck freight services to Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and other centers several times weekly. Most Atlin residents visit Whitehorse for shopping, medical, dental and other needs.

McLaren Creek rises in Skeleton Lake and flows approximately 8 kilometres (6.4 miles) eastward to become a left limit tributary of Gladys River. The gradient of McLaren Creek is relatively gentle at about 5 percent. Near the mid-point of the stream the gradient increases until it again flattens as it approaches the confluence with the Gladys River.

Due to the snow and snowfall in the area, surface exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest is restricted to the summer months and early fall. As a result, any attempts to test or explore the property are largely limited to the few months out of the year when weather permits such activities.

History and Prior Exploration

Kenneth McLaren and Fritz Miller, 2 gold prospectors from Juneau, Alaska, are credited with the discovery of gold in Atlin. Records indicate that they discovered placer gold at a depth of 1.7 meters in a pit dug on Pine Creek in March 1898 and that they staked discovery claims and recorded them in July of that year. News of the discovery traveled fast, and in a matter of days the rush to acquire ground on Pine Creek was underway. By late September 1898 it is estimated that some 3,000 people had settled in Atlin and that most of the local creeks had been tested and staked. Early records show that 1899 was a banner year with estimates of the local population varying from 10,000 to 25,000. By early 1901, large companies had consolidated many of the individual claims and worked the ground as either hydraulic or high volume steam shovel operations. Production on Pine Creek slumped significantly with the advent of the World War I and never fully recovered. By 1924, the town of Discovery was essentially a ghost town. Since that time and up until the early 1990s, several small companies operated on Pine Creek, either processing old tailings or mining small sections of bench ground that was overlooked in the early days.

Placer mining in the area of the property underlying our mineral claim interest probably extended from near the first discovery of gold in the Atlin area until the 1950s. The owner of the property is said to have worked the claims for 20 years, paid all his bills with gold, and was buried on the creek in the 1950s.

Present Condition and Current State of Exploration

The property underlying our mineral claim interest presently does not have any know mineral deposits. There are no known ore bodies on the property. There are no known drill holes on the property.

Geology

Various portions of the Atlin area have been mapped through the years; however, Aitken's Map 1082A (1960) covers the entire area. His map shows an antiform in the Cache Creek Group rocks running in a northeast direction between Mount McMaster and Mount Smallpeice. Skeleton Lake, located approximately on the axis of this antiform, is the source for both McLaren Creek and Nancy Creek. Nancy Creek runs westerly into the O'Donnell River drainage while McLaren Creek runs easterly into the Gladys River drainage.

Two sources for the placer gold in the area have been postulated. The first source suggests that it is from quartz stringers and veins which existed in the Mississippian to Upper Triassic Cache Creek Group rocks which are the most common bedrock in the area. The second was that the gold formed during Cretaceous intrusions such as the Surprise Lake Batholith or the Jurassic Fourth of July Batholith. Mount McMaster, south of Nancy and McLaren Creeks, is formed from the Jurassic intrusive.

Previous writers who evaluated the Atlin area believed the placer gold came from quartz stringers and veins in the Cache Creek rocks. Much of the placer gold is of a large size and has a rough texture, meaning that it has not traveled far from its source bedrock. If the Cache Creek rocks were the gold source, it would have had to be eroded from the source rocks and be deposited almost directly below them. As such, Mr. Carlyle believes that this hypothesis seems unlikely.

Other writers who evaluated Feather Creek, which is located approximately 20 miles (25 kilometres) northwest of the property underlying our mineral claim interest, found that mineral matter attached to the gold grains is mainly tin oxide with one grain containing significant thorium. Dominant clast types within the Feather Creek placer gravels are: black chert, which constitutes at least half of the clasts; grey, tan or red chert; and wacke. Some samples contain significant proportions of quartz or granitoid clasts. Ultramafite or listwanite clasts were not identified in any sample. Based on these findings, such writers concluded that combined with the identification of cassiterite in six of six gold nuggets analyzed, an argument can be made for linkage with the evolved, tin-rich Surprise Lake, with significant implications for lode gold exploration in the region.

10


Glaciation is known to have occurred several times in the Atlin area; however, the timing and direction of movement have been uncertain. Due to this glaciation, most of the area mountains are rounded and generally have elevations of less than 1900 metres. Previous writers who have evaluated the area have postulated that the centre of this ice mass was located in the region currently occupied by the Llewellyn glacier. This ice sheet expanded with lobes from it moving north and eastwards into the Atlin area. This movement of ice toward the north-northwest is similar to the movement of the glacial episodes recognized in the Teslin, Yukon area approximately 100 kilometres (62 miles) to the northeast. The Teslin area has undergone three major continental episodes of glaciation: pre-Reid, Reid, and McConnell. Some researchers believe pre-Reid glaciation consisted of at least four glacial episodes extending ending approximately 200,000 years ago. Reid glaciation is thought to have occurred between 220,000 and 140,000 years ago. McConnell glaciation occurred approximately 20,000 years ago.

Previous writers who have evaluated the area report seeing auriferous red-yellow gravels exposed in the banks of McLaren Creek during work there in 1982, which suggests that they were formed during the long erosional period after the Reid glaciation and before McConnell glaciation.

Mineralization

There are no known ore bodies on the property. However, previous writers who have evaluated the area found that that placer gold is present in gravels having a well defined red or yellow color often referred to as "Tertiary" gravels, which indicate the presence of gold; tungsten, tin and platinum group minerals. Such writers have also indicated that in the lower section of McLaren Creek, Tertiary auriferous gravels outcrop in the river banks, and that panning together with historical evidence indicate that these deposits are gold rich as are similar Tertiary deposits in the Atlin area.

Our Planned Exploration Program

Based on prior reports regarding the Atlin area and his familiarity with the area, Mr. Carlyle has recommended a two-phased exploration program, as described below:

Phase 1

A program of prospecting, hand dug test pits and test mining, and a preliminary magnetometer survey is recommended. A preliminary ground magnetometer survey to follow-up on any outcrops located may increase the known extent of the auriferous gravels and improve the potential for establishing a placer operation on the site.

Phase 2

  1. Once the auriferous gravels have been located and the amount of gold they hold has been confirmed, a mechanized test mining program can be established. During this phase, approximately one metre (3.3 ft.) of fractured bedrock below the auriferous gravels should be excavated to ensure recovery of gold which has worked its way into the bedrock.
  2. A preliminary ground magnetometer was recommended as part of Phase 1 because the 1982 electrical resistivity survey done by prior evaluators of the area is relatively old technology. The strong association of magnetite with the gold in the auriferous channel gravels of the Atlin area and the relatively shallow overburden should make the use of modern magnetometer instruments very efficient. Magnetometer surveying should delineate auriferous gravels prior to mining.
  3. Seismic surveying would clearly define the irregularities in the McLaren Creek bedrock discovered by the electrical resistivity survey, and would clearly define the old stream channel at bedrock. Seismic surveying is one of the most expensive exploration techniques because of the expensive equipment and highly trained personnel required. At well over CDN$10,000 (approximately $9,688, based on the foreign exchange rate on January 13, 2010 of $1.00:CDN$1.0322) for a small program at McLaren Creek, it should be considered as an alternative technique if magnetometer surveying is unsuccessful.

  4. The auriferous gravels in the Atlin area contain a considerable amount of clay, which must be removed to improve gold recovery. Incorporating a trommel as part of the processing plant would achieve improved recovery.

The estimated cost of CDN$15,470 for phase one is equal to approximately $14,987, based on the foreign exchange rate on January 13, 2010 of $1.00:CDN$1.0322. The estimated cost of CDN$100,855 for phase two is equal to approximately $97,709, based on the foreign exchange rate on January 13, 2010 of $1.00:CDN$1.0322.

Western Canada is experiencing a shortage of trained personnel and suitable heavy equipment for mining purposes. This has resulted in a large increase in personnel wages and equipment rental costs. With the long history of placer mining in Atlin, it is expected that most of the equipment and personnel needed for the tests can be found locally. Whitehorse would be able to supply whatever shortages may occur.

In Phase 2, the personnel are listed for ten days of employment for a seven day testing program because it is expected that mobilization, set up, and demobilization will require approximately three days.

Miscellaneous equipment and tools would include items like welding equipment, tanks, barrels, cables, chains, shovels, axes, hammers, wrenches and drills.

A contingency factor of 15% has been chosen to provide more flexibility in dealing with variations in personnel, equipment and petroleum product costs. The Federal Goods and Service Tax and the B.C. Provincial Sales Tax would form part of the contingency factor.

Compliance with Government Regulation

We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the Province of British Columbia. The main agency that governs the exploration of minerals in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, is the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines manages the development of British Columbia's mineral resources, and implements policies and programs respecting their development while protecting the environment. In addition, the Ministry regulates and inspects the exploration and mineral production industries in British Columbia to protect workers, the public and the environment.

The material legislation applicable to us is the Mineral Tenure Act R.S.B.C. 1996 Chapter 292, as amended, and administered by the Mineral Titles Branch of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, and the Mines Act, RSBC 1996 Chapter 293, as amended, as well as the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code, 2003, as amended .

The Mineral Tenure Act and its regulations govern the procedures involved in the location, recording and maintenance of mineral titles in British Columbia. The Mineral Tenure Act also governs the issuance of leases which are long term entitlements to minerals, designed as production tenures. The Mineral Tenure Act does not apply to minerals held by crown grant or by freehold tenure.

All mineral exploration activities carried out on the property underlying our mineral claim interest must be in compliance with the Mines Act. The Mines Act applies to all mines during exploration, development, construction, production, closure, reclamation and abandonment. It outlines the powers of the Chief Inspector of Mines, to inspect mines, the procedures for obtaining permits to commence work in, on or about a mine and other procedures to be observed at a mine. Additionally, the provisions of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for mines in British Columbia contain standards for employment, occupational health and safety, accident investigation, work place conditions, protective equipment, training programs, and site supervision.

Additional approvals and authorizations may be required from other government agencies, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed exploration program. If the exploration activities require the falling of timber, then either a free use permit or a license to cut must be issued by the Ministry of Forests. Items such as waste approvals may be required from the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks if the proposed exploration activities are significantly large enough to warrant them. Waste approvals refer to the disposal of rock materials removed from the earth which must be reclaimed. An environmental impact statement may be required.

British Columbia law requires that a holder of title to the claims must spend at least CDN$2 per hectare per year in order to keep the property in good standing. Thus, the annual cost of compliance with the Mineral Tenure Act with respect of the claims is presently approximately CDN$165 per year (approximately $160, based on the foreign exchange rate on January 13, 2010 of $1.00:CDN$1.0322). The claims are in good standing with the Province of British Columbia until January 23, 2010, therefore exploration work with a minimum value of CDN$165 for the property is required before January 23, 2010. If we do not complete this minimum amount of exploration work by this time, we will (on behalf of the claim owner) be required to pay a fee in lieu of exploration work in the amount of CDN$165 to the Province of British Columbia.

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. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings, our competitive position or on us in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.

13


Prior to undertaking mineral exploration activities, we must make application under the Mines Act for a permit, if we anticipate disturbing land. A permit is issued within 45 days of a complete and satisfactory application. We do not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining a permit, if needed. The initial exploration activities on the property underlying our mineral claim interest are not expected to involve ground disturbance and as a result do not require a work permit. Any follow-up trenching and/or drilling will require permits, applications for which will be submitted well in advance of the planned work.

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:

  • water discharge will have to meet drinking water standards;
  • dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;
  • dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated with natural vegetation;
  • an assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;
  • ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;
  • the socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and
  • there will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora including a study of potentially endangered species.

Competition

We are a junior mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to conduct further exploration of our mineral properties.

We will also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.

We will also be compete with other junior and senior mineral companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, helicopter or float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.

Employees

As of the date of this quarterly report we have no significant employees other than the officers and directors. We intend to retain independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on the property underlying our mineral claim interest in order to carry out our plan of operations.

Research and Development Expenditures

We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.

14


Subsidiaries

We do not have any subsidiaries.

Patents and Trademarks

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to complete the following objectives within the time periods specified:

  1. We plan to complete phase one of our recommended exploration program on the property underlying our mineral claim interest, consisting of helicopter-supported prospecting, hand test pits and test mining, and preliminary magnetometer surveys, at an estimated cost of CDN$15,470 (approximately $14,987, based on the foreign exchange rate on January 13, 2010 of $1.00:CDN$1.0322). We expect to commence our exploration program in the summer of 2009, depending on weather conditions and the availability of personnel, equipment and adequate funding.
  2. We anticipate spending approximately $2,500 per month in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $30,000 over the next twelve months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees and general office expenses.

Thus, we estimate that our expenditures over the next twelve months will be approximately $44,987 (CDN$15,470 (approximately $14,987, based on the foreign exchange rate on January 13, 2010 of $1.00:CDN$1.0322) to complete phase one of our recommended exploration program, and $30,000 to cover ongoing general and administrative expenses. As at November 30, 2009, we had cash of $nil and a working capital deficit of $59,323. As such, we anticipate that our cash and working capital will not be sufficient to enable us to complete phase one of our recommended exploration program and to pay for our general and administrative expenses for approximately the next twelve months.

Financial Condition

During the twelve-month period following the date of this quarterly report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations during and beyond the next twelve months. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund any additional and more advanced exploration programs beyond our initial aforementioned exploration program. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest and our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund any continuation of our exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claim interest.

We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to develop the property underlying our mineral claim interest. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture participant. Even if we determined to pursue a joint venture participant, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest to the joint venture participant.

Results of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008

Revenues

We had no operating revenues since our inception (September 7, 2006) to November 30, 2009. We anticipate that we will not generate any revenues for so long as we are an exploration stage company.

Expenses

Our expenses in the three months ended November 30, 2009 decreased to $10,850 from $30,461 in the three months ended November 30, 2008, primarily as a result of decreased mineral property costs and decreased professional fees.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $10,850, compared to $30,461 for the three months ended November 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash of $nil and a working capital deficit of $59,323 at November 30, 2009.

We estimate that our total expenditures over the next twelve months will be approximately $44,987, as outlined above under the heading "Plan of Operations".

16


Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $nil during the three months ended November 30, 2009, as compared to $9,586 during the three months ended November 30, 2008. Net cash used in operating activities from our inception on September 7, 2006 to November 30, 2009 was $84,000.

Cash from Financing Activities

We have funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. From our inception on September 7, 2006 to November 30, 2009, we raised a total of approximately $84,000 from private offerings of our securities. During each of the three-month periods ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008, no net cash was provided by financing activities from sale of our securities.

There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of the prospect lease and our venture will fail.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2009 that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing 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 exploration activities.

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

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and are presented in US dollars.

17


Exploration Stage Company

The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to deferred income tax amounts and rates and timing of the reversal of income tax differences.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, consisting of accounts payable and amounts due to related party, are estimated to be equal to their carrying value. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency and credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of asset and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes, which requires deferred taxes to be recorded at the statutory rate expected to being in effect when the taxes are paid. Valuation allowances are provided for a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized.

Management evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position includes a determination of whether a tax position should be recognized in the financial statements, and such a position should only be recognized if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities, based upon the technical merits of the position. For those tax positions that should be recognized, the measurement of a tax position is determined as being the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Foreign Currency Translations

Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share.

18


Mineral Property Costs

Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified. Mineral properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. In performing the review for impairment, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from use of the asset or its eventual disposition. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value an impairment loss is recognized.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation arrangements using a fair value method and records such expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

To date the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of SFAS No. 162 ("Statement 168"). Statement 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Statement 168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Statement 168 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will adopt Statement 168 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the financial statements of the Company.

Item 3.             Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4T.           Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Shawn Balaghi, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on his evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, due to the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, which deficiencies have not been remediated as of November 30, 2009.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
