American Paramount Gold Corp. (fka Zebra Resources Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Entity) Notes to Financial Statements - Presented in US Dollars Three Months Ended November 30, 2010 (Unaudited) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN The accompanying financial statements of American Paramount Gold Corp.(formally known as Zebra Resources, Inc.) (the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent filing of the Form 10-K which included the financial statements as of August 31, 2010. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed except as noted below. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of November 30, 2010 and the results of operation, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows presented herein have been included in the financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. GOING CONCERN These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $2,728,494 and $5,233 for the three months ended November 30, 2010 and 2009. At November 30, 2010, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the exploration stage of $3,509,341. Since inception (July 20, 2006) to November 30 2010, the Company has commenced limited operations, raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Company's plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND HISTORY American Paramount Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation, (hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "APGC") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 20, 2006. The Company was formed to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties of merit. The Company acquired a mineral claims option located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada during the period ending August 31, 2006 for $15,000. The Company entered into a Mineral Property Options Agreement (the "MPOA") with a private British Columbia company, whereby the Company obtained an option to acquire mineral claims known as "Astro 2006" located in British Columbia. During the period ending August 31, 2009, the Company terminated the MPOA and relieved itself from any further obligations there under. On April 14, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Wayne Parsons whereby Mr. Parsons agreed to provide our Company with various consulting services as the president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer. In consideration of his services, we agreed to provide Mr. Parsons with a monthly payment of CDN$1,500 and a one-time grant of 1,000,000 non-transferable options to acquire one share of our common stock at a purchase price of US$1.00 per share, exercisable for five (5) years. These options were cancelled and re-issued on October 6, 2010 with a purchase price of $0.68 as part of the below described issuance under our 2010 Stock Plan. Under ASC (718) this concurrent cancellation and reissuance of options was accounted for as a modification. Accordingly, the Company incurred share-based compensation expense for the incremental difference in the fair value between the new award and the old award, measuring the old award's fair value immediately before the modification. In connection with this modification the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $276,000. On August 30, 2010, Wayne Parsons resigned as secretary and treasurer of the Company. On September 29, 2010 Mr. Parsons resigned as president, chief 7

(An Exploration Stage Entity) Notes to Financial Statements - Presented in US Dollars Three Months Ended November 30, 2010 (Unaudited) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND HISTORY financial officer and chief executive officer of the Company. Concurrently on September 29, 2010, the consulting agreement dated April 14, 2010 between Mr. Parsons and the Company was terminated. In connection with the termination of the consulting agreement the Company agreed to cancel 1,000,000 fully vested stock options with an exercise price of $1.00 that were issued to Mr. Parsons on April 14, 2010 as compensation under the consulting agreement, and to issue to Mr. Parsons 1,000,000 fully vested stock options under the 2010 Stock Plan. The 1,000,000 options under the 2010 Stock Plan were issued on October 6, 2010 and are exercisable at a price of $0.68 until October 6, 2015. The 1,000,000 options issued on April 14, 2010 were cancelled effective November 18, 2010. On September 7, 2010, and October 13, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000 and $50,000 respectively. The total advanced under the Convertible Loan is $400,933. On September 27, 2010, Peter Jenks and John Goodwin each resigned as members of our board of directors. Mr. Jenks' and Mr. Goodwin's resignations were not the result of any disagreements regarding our operations, policies, practices or other disagreements. Since September 27, 2010, our board of directors has consisted of 5 directors including J. Trevor Eyton, Wayne Parsons, Hugh Aird, Dr. H. Neville Rhoden, and Leland Verner. On September 29, 2010, Wayne Parsons resigned as our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Mr. Parsons' resignation was not the result of any disagreements regarding the Company's operations, policies, practices or other disagreements and he remains a member of our board of directors. As a result on September 29, 2010, we appointed Hugh Aird as our president and chief executive officer and Ann Dumyn as our chief financial officer. On October 6, 2010, we granted an aggregate of 5,400,000 stock options to ten individuals, including directors, officers, consultants and employees, pursuant to our 2010 Stock Plan, at an exercise price of $0.68 per share. Of the 5,400,000 stock options, 400,000 options are exercisable until October 5, 2012 and 5,000,000 options are exercisable until October 6, 2015. We issued the stock options to seven (7) non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933), in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and to three (3) U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) relying upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company is an exploration stage enterprise, as defined in FASB ASC 915-10 "Development Stage Entities". As an exploration stage mining company we are engaged in the identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on gold mineralization. Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on the Cap Gold Project and to complete the terms of the Cap Gold option agreement (Note 4 Mineral Properties). 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash consists of all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FASB ASC 825 "Financial Instruments", requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market value of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The fair value represents management's best estimates based on a range of methodologies and assumptions. The carrying 8
American Paramount Gold Corp. (fka Zebra Resources Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Entity) Notes to Financial Statements - Presented in US Dollars Three Months Ended November 30, 2010 (Unaudited) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES value of receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business and the receivable from taxing authorities, approximate fair value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes", which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has a net operating loss carry-forward to be used in future years. The Company has established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss carry-forwards due to the uncertainty regarding realization. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 "Earnings per Share". Under the provisions of FASB ASC 260 "Earnings per Share", basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the period from Inception (July 20, 2006) through November 30, 2010, common stock equivalents are the rights conferred upon Monaco Capital Inc. pursuant to the convertible loan agreement (Note 6) and those arising from the 2010 Stock Option Plan (Note 8). These stock equivalents were not included as their effect was anti-dilutive for the periods presented. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On August 1, 2009, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10 and 505-10. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-10. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-10. The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC 718. ASC Topic 718 requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company obtained financing during the period from Monaco Capital Inc. which holds 52% of the Company's common shares. The balance of the loan as at November 30, 2010 was $394,338, net of debt discount. 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 9
American Paramount Gold Corp. (fka Zebra Resources Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Entity) Notes to Financial Statements - Presented in US Dollars Three Months Ended November 30, 2010 (Unaudited) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation July 20, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisitions are capitalized and exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. 4. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT On April 16, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in 189 unpatented mining claims situated in the Walker Lane Structural Belt in Nye County, Nevada (the "Cap Gold Project"). The 189 claims making up the Cap Gold Project form a contiguous block of approximately 3,960 acres (1,602 hectares). The Company paid $125,000 to secure the option, giving it the right to acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in the Cap Gold Project. To exercise the option the Company must: (i) make ongoing yearly advance production royalty cash payments during the term of the agreement of $125,000 in years two (2) through five (5), $150,000 in years six (6) through twelve (12), $200,000 in years 13 through 20 and $300,000 in years 21 through 30; (ii) incur expenditures on exploration of the Cap Gold Project of not less than an aggregate of $1,250,000 over five (5) years; and (iii) make production royalty payments from production from the property after the advance production royalty cash payments described above have been repaid to our Company from production from the property. At our Company's election, the production royalty may be calculated either on a sliding scale or on a fixed production royalty basis, and must range from 1% to a maximum of 3%. The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the development of the Company's website pursuant to ASC Topic 350. Other costs related to the maintenance of the website are expensed as incurred. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful life of 3 years using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company capitalized $26,313 in Website development in the year. The net book value at November 30, 2010 was $21,196. 5. NOTES PAYABLE Effective June 1, 2010 the Company obtained liability insurance for its directors and entered into a unsecured commercial premium finance agreement - promissory note for $30,720 due in ten equal instalments with a finance charge of $1,187. At November 30, 2010 the balance owing AFCO was $14,766. On August 27, 2010 the Company obtained a loan from an individual in the principal amount of $32,077. Due to its short-term nature the Company agreed to pay the individual $6,493 as a premium. The note payable totalling $38,570 was due and payable on or before September 15, 2010. The note was paid in full on September 10, 2010. 10
American Paramount Gold Corp. (fka Zebra Resources Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Entity) Notes to Financial Statements - Presented in US Dollars Three Months Ended November 30, 2010 (Unaudited) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED) On November 26, 2010, the Company obtained a demand promissory note from Taio Investments Ltd. ("Taio") of $CDN$50,000 ($49,518 US). Due to its short-term nature the Company agreed to pay Taio $5,000 as a premium. The note payable totalling $55,000 was due and payable on December 6, 2010. The note was paid in full on December 6, 2010. 6. CONVERTIBLE LOAN - RELATED PARTY On April 22, 2010, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., majority shareholder, for a principal amount of up to $500,000 for a term of one year from any applicable advancement date. The loan is unsecured and shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable on the due date. The Company may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding at any time for an additional 10% of such amount. The loan (including accrued interest) is convertible into securities of the Company at a conversion price of $1.05 per share. At any time after the advancement date, if the Company has not paid the loan and accrued interest in full, the Lender may, by providing written notice to the Company, exercise its rights of conversion in respect of either a portion of the total outstanding amount of the loan as of that date into shares of the Company. At November 30, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc has advanced to the Company $400,933. The balance sheets at November 30, 2010 and August 31, 2010 recorded the loan value at $394,338 and $240,142 due to the unamortized beneficial conversion feature on the convertible debt totalling $6,595 and $10,791. The initial beneficial conversion feature was valued at $16,833 of which $10,238 has been amortized. The beneficial conversion feature amount has been accounted for as a debt discount which is being amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the convertible debentures. Accrued interest at November 30, 2010 and August 31, 2010 relating to the loan totalling $18,331 and $8,746, respectively was recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) The Company has 150,000,000 (75,000,000 pre-forward stock split) shares authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. Effective July 25, 2006, the Company issued 40,000,000 (20,000,000 pre-forward stock split) to the founding and sole director of the Company pursuant to a stock subscription agreement at $0.0005 per share for total proceeds of $20,000, the shares were issued below par thus $20,000 was applied to accumulated deficit. Effective December 20, 2006, the Company issued 24,000,000 (12,000,000 pre-forward stock split) shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Company's SB-2 prospectus offering at $0.0025 per share for total proceeds of $60,000. On February 26, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc. acquired a controlling interest in the Company by purchasing 40,000,000 (20,000,000 pre-forward stock split) shares of our common stock in a private transaction. On March 17, 2010, the Company filed a Plan of Merger, Merger Agreement and Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State to affect a forward stock split of its common shares on a 2 new for 1 old basis. The change was approved by FINRA effective April 12, 2010. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock and our issued and outstanding increased from 32,000,000 shares of common stock to 64,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) (CONTINUED) common stock prior to this stock split have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis unless otherwise noted. On April 22, 2010, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., a majority shareholder, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature valued at $16,833 which was applied to additional paid in capital. 8. STOCK OPTIONS On April 14, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Wayne Parsons, to act as President, CEO, CFO, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. As part of the compensation package he was granted 1,000,000 fully vested, non-transferable stock options with an exercise price of $1.00. These options were cancelled and re-issued on October 6, 2010 with a purchase price of $0.68 under our 2010 Stock Plan. Under ASC(718) this concurrent cancellation and reissuance of options was accounted for as a modification. Accordingly, the Company incurred share-based compensation expense for the incremental difference in the fair value between the new award and the old award, measuring the old award's fair value immediately before the modification. In connection with this modification the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $276,000. Under ASC 718 and 505, the fair value of options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton ("Black-Scholes") option-pricing model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Volatility is determined using historical stock prices over a period consistent with the expected term of the option. The Company utilizes the guidelines of staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) of the Securities and Exchange Commission relative to "plain vanilla" options in determining the expected term of option grants. SAB 107 permits the expected term of "plain vanilla" options to be calculated as the average of the options's vesting term and contractual period. The fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions was recorded in the statement of operations as consulting expenses at a value of $505,200: Risk Free Interest Rate 1.07% Expected life 913 days Expected volatility 72% Dividend per share $Nil On July 30, 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan which permits the Company to issue up to 6,500,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 2010 Plan. At the time of the grant of the option, the Plan Administrator shall designate the expiration date of the option, which date shall not be later than five (5) years from the date of grant. The vesting schedule for each option shall be specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant of the Option. Effective September 29, 2010 the Plan provides for an exercise price to be established based on the Fair Market Value of a common share of the Company being the average of the high and low sales prices (or bid and ask prices, if sales prices are not reported) for the common stock for the last trading day immediately preceding the date with respect to which Fair Market Value is being determined, as reported for the principal trading market for the Common Stock. On October 6, 2010, an aggregate of 5,400,000 stock options was granted to ten individuals, including directors, officers, consultants and employees, pursuant to our 2010 Stock Plan, at an exercise price of $0.68 per share. Of the 5,400,000 stock options, 400,000 options are exercisable until October 5, 2012 and 5,000,000 options are exercisable until October 6, 2015. These stock options all vest immediately. The fair value of the 5,400,000 options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions was recorded in the statement of operations as consulting expenses at a value of $2,480,800: 12

The Company may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding at any time for an additional 10% of such amount.

Our unaudited interim financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Company's audited financial statements and 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010 and unaudited interim financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all references to "common stock" refer to common shares in the capital of our company and the terms "we", "us" and "our" mean American Paramount Gold Corp. GENERAL OVERVIEW We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 20, 2006 under the name Zebra Resources, Inc. At inception, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. On February 26, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc. acquired a controlling interest in our company by purchasing 20,000,000 shares of our common stock in a private transaction. On March 17, 2010, we effected a 1 old for 2 new forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock and our issued and outstanding increased from 32,000,000 shares of common stock to 64,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001. Also effective March 17, 2010, we changed our name from Zebra Resources, Inc. to American Paramount Gold Corp., by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary American Paramount Gold Corp., which was formed solely for the change of name. The name change and forward stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on April 12, 2010 under the stock symbol APGA. Our CUSIP number is 02882T 05. On April 16, 2010, we entered into an agreement with Royce L. Hackworth and Belva L. Tomany in respect of an option to acquire 189 unpatented mining claims situated in the Walker Lane Structural Belt in Nye County, Nevada known as the Cap Gold Project. The 189 claims making up the Cap Gold Project form a contiguous block of approximately 3,960 acres (1,602 hectares). We paid $125,000 to secure the option, giving us the right acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in the Cap Gold Project. To exercise the option we must: (i) make ongoing yearly advance production royalty cash payments during the term of the agreement of $125,000 in years two (2) through five (5), $150,000 in years six (6) through twelve (12), $200,000 in years 13 through 20 and $300,000 in years 21 through 30; (ii) incur expenditures on exploration of the Cap Gold Project of 15
not less than an aggregate of $1,250,000 over five (5) years; and (iii) make production royalty payments from production from the property after the advance production royalty cash payments described above have been repaid to our company from production from the property. At our company's election, the production royalty may be calculated either on a sliding scale or on a fixed production royalty basis, and must range from 1% to a maximum of 3%. On April 22, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $500,000. The loan (and accrued interest) is convertible in whole or in part into common shares of our company at a conversion price of $1.05 and will bear interest at 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. At November 30, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc. has advanced $400,933. The balance sheet at November 30, 2010 records the loan value at $394,338 due to the unamortized beneficial conversion feature on the convertible debt totalling $6,595. The initial beneficial conversion feature was valued at $16,833 of which $10,238 was amortized. Accrued interest relating to the loan totalling $18,331 as at November 30, 2010 was recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. On July 30, 2010, our directors approved the adoption of the 2010 stock option plan which permits our company to issue up to 6,500,000 shares of our common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of our company upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 2010 plan. On July 28, 2010, we obtained an extra-provincial license to carry on business in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Our Ontario corporation number is 1827852. On November 9, 2010, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire the Kisita Gold Mine Property, an operational gold property four hours northwest of the capital city of Kampala, Uganda. The acquisition was subject to further negotiation and due diligence of the project satisfactory to us. On December 9, 2010 our company, having performed the due diligence required to acquire the Kisita Gold Mine Property, advised Lonsdale Acquisition Corporation that we declined to proceed with the purchase agreement under its current terms and conditions. Discussions with Lonsdale Acquisition Corporation are ongoing. On December 17, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital which replaces the original convertible loan agreement entered into on April 22, 2010 in its entirety. Under the December 17, 2010 convertible loan agreement, Monaco Capital has agreed to loan our company up to $5,000,000. The loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. On December 29, 2010, we received $100,000 from Monaco pursuant to the terms of the convertible loan agreement. OUR CURRENT BUSINESS We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on gold mineralization on our property located in Nevada. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral reserve exists on any of our current or future properties, To date, we do not know if an economically viable mineral reserve exists on our property and there is no assurance that we will discover one. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on our property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our property into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on the Cap Gold Project and to complete the terms of the Cap Gold option agreement. 16
CASH REQUIREMENTS We intend to conduct exploration activities on our newly optioned property over the next twelve months. We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve month period to be as follows: ESTIMATED EXPENSES FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTH PERIOD General, administrative, and corporate expenses $ 200,000 Operating expenses $ 200,000 Exploration $1,500,000 ---------- TOTAL $1,900,000 ========== At present, our cash requirements for the next 12 months outweigh the funds available to maintain or develop our properties. Of the $1,900,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $13,761 in cash as of November 30, 2010. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. Other than as set out below, we currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us. On April 22, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $500,000. The loan is convertible into common shares of our company at a conversion price of $1.05. On December 6, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000 To date, $500,933 has been advanced under the April 2010 loan agreement. On December 17, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital which replaces the original convertible loan agreement entered into on April 22, 2010 in its entirety. Under the December 17, 2010 convertible loan agreement, Monaco Capital has agreed to loan our company up to $5,000,000. The loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. On December 17, 2010 the Company entered into a Convertible Loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., majority shareholder, for a principal amount of up to $5,000,000 for a term of one year.

The loan is unsecured and shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable on the due date. The Company may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding at any time for an additional 10% of such amount. The loan (including accrued interest) is convertible into securities of the Company at a conversion price calculated as the mean volume weighted average price for the Company's common stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. At any time after the advancement date, if the Company has not paid the loan and accrued interest in full, the Lender may, by providing written notice to the Company, exercise its rights of conversion in respect of either a portion of the total outstanding amount of the loan as of that date into shares of the Company. On December 29, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000. The total advanced under the Convertible Loan is $621,596.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2010 was $151,377 and for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $Nil. During the three months ended November 30, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc. advanced our company $150,000 pursuant to a convertible loan agreement dated April 22, 2010. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations. 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 are material to stockholders. APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 19
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Our company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98). Under the provisions of ASC 260 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the period from inception (July 20, 2006) through November 30, 2010, our company had no potentially dilutive securities. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On August 1, 2009, the company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10. The company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-10. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-10. MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation July 20, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisitions are capitalized and exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. GOING CONCERN Our company has incurred a net loss $2,728,494 for the three month period ended November 30, 2010 [2009 - $5,233] and at November 30, 2010 had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $3,509,341. Since inception (July 20, 2006) to November 30, 2010, our company has commenced limited operations, raising substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance our company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of our company's plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors, shareholders or investors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. Other than a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., we do not have any further arrangements in place for any future debt or equity financing. 20
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of November 30, 2010, the end the quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our financial reports as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2010 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements. Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MINING OUR PROPERTY IS IN THE EXPLORATION STAGE. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF ANY MINERAL RESOURCE ON OUR PROPERTY IN COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITIES. UNTIL WE CAN DO SO, WE CANNOT EARN ANY REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS AND IF WE DO NOT DO SO WE WILL LOSE ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT WE EXPEND ON EXPLORATION. IF WE DO NOT DISCOVER ANY MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. 21
Despite exploration work on our mineral property, we have not established that it contains any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any "reserve" and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on our property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our property into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable. MINERAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION. EVEN IF WE DISCOVER A MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, THESE LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT THE EXPLOITATION OF THAT MINERAL RESOURCE. IF WE CANNOT EXPLOIT ANY MINERAL RESOURCE THAT WE MIGHT DISCOVER ON OUR PROPERTY, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL. Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail. We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties. IF WE ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF A MINERAL RESOURCE ON OUR PROPERTY IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY INTO A PRODUCING MINE. IF WE CANNOT RAISE THIS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT THE RESOURCE, AND OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on our property, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail. MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IS SUBJECT TO EXTRAORDINARY OPERATING RISKS. WE DO NOT CURRENTLY INSURE AGAINST THESE RISKS. IN THE EVENT OF A CAVE-IN OR 22
SIMILAR OCCURRENCE, OUR LIABILITY MAY EXCEED OUR RESOURCES, WHICH WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR COMPANY. Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company. MINERAL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO DRAMATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE FLUCTUATIONS. We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource property or from the extraction and sale of ore. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted. THE MINING INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING MINERAL CLAIMS. IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO ACQUIRE PROPERTIES TO EXPLORE FOR MINERAL RESOURCES, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO REDUCE OR CEASE OPERATIONS. The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce. In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOT EARNED ANY OPERATING REVENUES SINCE OUR INCORPORATION RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OUR MINERAL PROPERTIES AS A GOING CONCERN. We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on our mineral property and we build and operate a mine. We had cash in the amount of $13,761 as of November 30, 2010. At November 30, 2010, we had working capital deficit of $552,704. We incurred a net loss of $2,728,494 for the three month period ended November 30, 2010 and $3,489,341 since inception. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be approximately $150,000, including mineral property costs, management services and administrative costs. Should the results of our planned exploration require us to increase our current operating budget, we may have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral property, we will probably find it difficult to 23
raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral property, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. These circumstances lead our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report dated November 29, 2009, to comment about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management's plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future. 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 our company cannot continue in existence. We continue to experience net operating losses. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK TRADING ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE VOLATILE AND SPORADIC, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like NYSE Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND FINRA'S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK. Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock. In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make 24
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock. OTHER RISKS TRENDS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On October 6, 2010, we granted an aggregate of 5,400,000 stock options to ten individuals, including directors, officers, consultants and employees, pursuant to our 2010 stock option plan, at an exercise price of $0.68 per share. Of the 5,400,000 stock options, 400,000 options are exercisable until October 6, 2012 and 5,000,000 options are exercisable until October 6, 2015. All the stock options vested upon issuance. ITEM 3. DEFAULT UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None. ITEM 4. [REMOVED AND RESERVED] ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION On December 16, 2010, Leland D. Verner resigned as a director of our company. Mr. Verner's resignation was not the result of any disagreements regarding our operations, policies, practices or other disagreements. Our board of directors now consists of J. Trevor Eyton, Wayne Parsons, Hugh Aird, and Dr. H. Neville Rhoden. 25
