Directors are elected by plurality vote.  The ratification of the appointment of Peterson Sullivan LLP will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Common Stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted in the election of directors or in determining whether such ratification has been given.

Consideration of Director Nominees

Director Qualifications

We believe the Board, to the extent that our limited resources permit, should encompass a diverse range of talent, skill and expertise sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the Company's operations and interests. Each director also is expected to: exhibit high standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; use his or her skills and experiences to provide independent oversight to the business of the Company; participate in a constructive and collegial manner; be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively; devote the time and effort necessary to learn our business; and represent the long-term interests of all shareholders.

The Board has determined that the Board of Directors as a whole must have the right diversity, mix of characteristics and skills for the optimal functioning of the Board in its oversight of the Company. The Board believes it should be comprised of persons with skills in areas such as: finance; real estate; banking; strategic planning; human resources and diversity; leadership of business organizations; and legal matters. The Board may also consider in its assessment of the Board's diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity.

In addition to the targeted skill areas, the Board looks for a strong record of achievement in key knowledge areas that it believes are critical for directors to add value to the Board, including:

•   Strategy—knowledge of the Company business model, the formulation of corporate strategies, knowledge of key competitors and markets;

•   Leadership—skills in coaching and working with senior executives and the ability to assist the Chief Executive Officer;

•   Organizational Issues—understanding of strategy implementation, change management processes, group effectiveness and organizational design;

•   Relationships—understanding how to interact with investors, accountants, attorneys, management companies, analysts, and communities in which the Company operates;

•   Functional—understanding of finance matters, financial statements and auditing procedures, technical expertise, legal issues, information technology and marketing; and

•   Ethics—the ability to identify and raise key ethical issues concerning the activities of the Company and senior management as they affect the business community and society.

Nomination Procedures    We have no nominating committee, and all nominating functions are handled directly by the full Board of Directors, which the Board believes is the most effective and efficient approach, based on the size of the Board and the current and anticipated operations and needs of the Company. As outlined above in selecting a qualified nominee, the Board considers such factors as it deems appropriate which may include: the current composition of the Board; the range of talents of the nominee that would best complement those already represented on the Board; the extent to which the nominee would diversify the Board; the nominee's standards of integrity, commit ment and independence of thought and judgment; and the need for specialized expertise. Applying these criteria, the Board considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members, as well as management and shareholders. Shareholders of record may nominate directors in accordance with the Company's bylaws which require among other items notice sent to the Company's Secretary not less than 60 days prior to a shareholder meeting that will include the election of board members. No nominations other than those made by the Board were received for the 2010 Annual Shareholder Meeting.

The Board and Board Meetings

Our Board of directors consists of two members. Directors serve for a term of one year and stand for election at our annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to our Bylaws, any vacancy occurring in the Board of directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the stockholders or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the stockholders. If there are no remaining directors, the vacancy shall be filled by the stockholders.

At a meeting of stockholders, any director or the entire Board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, provided the notice of the meeting states that one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of the director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him exceeds the number of votes cast against removal.

Our Board of Directors and management are committed to responsible corporate governance to ensure that the Company is managed for the long-term benefit of its shareholders. To that end, the Board of Directors and management periodically review and update, as appropriate, the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices. In doing so, the Board and management review published guidelines and recommendations of institutional shareholder organizations and current best practices of similarly situated public companies. The Board of Directors and management also regularly evaluate and, when appropriate, will revise the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and listing standards issued by the SEC.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Board held a total of five (5) meetings.  All members of the Board attended all meetings of the Board.

Pursuant to our Bylaws, any vacancy occurring in the board of directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the stockholders or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the stockholders.

Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years none of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been:

•  the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

•  convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees, including its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, which complies with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) listing standards. Accordingly, the Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing, and to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full, timely, accurate and clear public disclosures, compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics, and accountability.

9

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines applicable to its Board of Directors.

Director Independence

Our securities are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, is not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. However, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Montgomery  is not independent from the Company’s management and does not qualify as “independent director” under the standards of independence under the applicable FINRA listing standards.  This means that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, none of those directors (1) is an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or (2) has any direct or indirect relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of his i ndependent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  Upon the Company’s listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, it will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.

Certain Relationships

There are no family relationships among or between any of our officers and directors.

Our proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  From time to time, se veral companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program.  It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.

In determining whether we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.  We are not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.

Compliance with Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance, of the Exchange Act of 1934

Based on information provided to the Company, it is believed that all of the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock were in compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 during the last fiscal year. During the year ended December 31, 2009, all of the Company’s directors, executive officers and Company’s common stock were in compliance with section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934.

10

Compensation of Directors

Our Board of Directors determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals:

· Compensation should consist of a combination of cash and equity awards that are designed to fairly pay the directors for work required for a company of our size and scope;

· Compensation should align the directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and

· Compensation should assist with attracting and retaining qualified directors.

We do not pay director compensation to directors who are also employees. All non-employee directors are paid a director’s fee in the amount of $2,500 per quarter. Directors are entitled to participate in, and have been issued options under, our 2006 Stock Plan. We also reimburse directors for any actual expenses incurred to attend meetings of the Board.

The following table reports all compensation we paid to non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009:

Name	2009	2008	2007
Michael Montgomery	0	0	$30,582

During fiscal years 2009 and 2008 we paid no fees (2007-$30,582) to our non employee directors. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties.

Standard Arrangements

We do not pay a fee to our outside, non-officer directors. We reimburse our directors for reasonable expenses incurred by them in attending meetings of the Board of Directors. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, we paid non-officer directors $0, $0 and $30,582, respectively, in consulting fees.

Corporate Governance Principles / Code of Ethics

Effective in 2004, our board of directors adopted Corporate Governance Principles / Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, all Officers, Directors, Employees and consultants of the company and its affiliates.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our executive officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.

11

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The responsibility for establishing, administering and interpreting our policies governing the compensation and benefits for our executive officers lies with our Board of Directors. In this connection the Board has not retained the services of any compensation consultants.

The goals of our executive compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to support and develop our business within the framework of our small size and available resources. In 2009, we designed our executive compensation program to achieve the following objectives:

· attract and retain executives experienced in developing and delivering products such as our own;

· motivate and reward executives whose experience and skills are critical to our success;

· reward performance; and

· align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders by motivating executive officers to increase stockholder value.

Options/SAR Grants Table

In 2007, our Board of Directors approved the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to offer an incentive to obtain services of key employees, directors and consultants of the Company.  The Plan provides for the reservation for awards of an aggregate of 10% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time. No Plan participant may receive stock options exercisable for more than 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in any one calendar year.  Under the Plan, the exercise price of an incentive stock option must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (110% of fair market value in the case of options granted to employees who hold more than 10% of our capital stock on the date of grant).  0;The term of stock options granted under the Plan is not to exceed ten years and the stock options vest immediately upon granting.

We awarded no stock purchase options, or any other rights, to any of our directors or officers during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

On August 6, 2007, we awarded 2,300,000 stock purchase options to directors, officers and employees with an exercise price of $0.26 per share. The term of these options is five years. The options are exercisable at any time from the grant date up to and including the 6th day of August 2012. The aggregate fair value of these options at the date of grant of $424,295 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was expensed in full on the date of grant as the options were immediately fully vested.

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and the status of stock options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2010:

	Shares		Exercise price		Remaining Contractual Life (yrs) 3/31/2010		Aggregate Intrinsic value at 3/31/2010
Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2009 and 2008		2,300,000	$	0.26			$	-
Granted		-		-		-		-
Outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2010		2,300,000	$	0.26		2.35	$	437,000

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e., the difference between the closing stock price of our common stock on March 31, 2010 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2008 and 2009 and June 20, 2010 we had 2,300,000 stock purchase options outstanding.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers, except that our directors and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of our board of directors.  We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of our board of directors.

We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by our executive officers to compensate such officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control, where the value of such compensation exceeds $60,000 per executive officer.

Compensation of Directors

We reimburse our directors for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors.  Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director.  No director received and/or accrued any compensation for their services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments, or incurred in connection with attending board meetings in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Employment Contracts

During the fiscal year 2009, consulting fees of $86,380 (2008 - $134,558) were paid to our directors for their services as officers of the Company. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties.

Changes in Control

There were no arrangements during the last completed fiscal year or subsequent period to June 20, 2010 which would result in a change in control. We do not believe that the issuance by us of an aggregate of 31,173,335 shares between December 29, 2007 and June 20, 2010 have resulted in a change of control.

15

No securities were authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS

Certain Relationships

Our proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program.  It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.

In determining whether we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.  We are not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors currently consists of two members on its board.  We consider a director to be “independent” if that person serves only as a member of our board of directors and is not otherwise employed by our company as an employee, officer or consultant.  Mr. Lars Pearl serves as our company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Effective March 1, 2010, Mr. Michael Montgomery became our Chief Operating Officer. As of June 20, 2010, our Board of Directors did not have an independent director.

Transactions with Related Persons

Other than as disclosed below, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, none of our current directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any of our former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect us.

There have been no transactions or proposed transactions with officers and directors during the last two years to which we are a party except as follows:

In December 2008, 1,488,533 common shares were issued at $0.06 per share to settle debts of $14,204 and pay $75,108 in consulting fees.  The shares were issued to Lars Pearl, a director who resides outside the United States of America (in accordance with the exemption from registration requirements afforded by Regulation S as promulgated thereunder).

16

In June 2008, 250,000 common shares were issued at $0.10 per share in payment of a finder’s fee. The shares were issued to Hans Biener, a director of our subsidiary who resides outside the United States of America (in accordance with the exemption from registration requirements afforded by Regulation S as promulgated thereunder).

During the fiscal year 2009, consulting fees of $86,380 (2008 – $134,558) were paid to our directors and directors of our subsidiary. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties

Corporate Governance

The Board of Directors has determined that to be considered independent, an outside director may not have a direct or indirect material relationship with us. A material relationship is one which impairs or inhibits --or has the potential to impair or inhibit--a director's exercise of critical and disinterested judgment on our behalf and on behalf of our stockholders. In determining whether a material relationship exists, the Board of Directors consults with our counsel to ensure that its determinations are consistent with all relevant securities and other laws, recent relevant cases and regulations regarding the definition of "independent director," including those set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15)as in effect from time to time. Consistent with these considerations, the Board affirmatively has determined that as of March 1, 2010 the Company does not have an independent director.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

No executive officer of The Company served as a member of the Board of Directors or compensation or similar board committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. During 2009 and the subsequent period to August 9, 2010, no executive officer or former executive officer of the Company voted on any decision relating to compensation matters of the Company.

VOTE REQUIRED TO BE ELECTED AS A DIRECTOR

To be elected a director, each nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes duly cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of nominees to the Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL 2. THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PETERSON SULLIVAN LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2010

The Board of Directors recommends the ratification by the stockholders of the appointment of Peterson Sullivan LLP as our independent accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.  Peterson Sullivan LLP has been our accountant since February 7, 2006. Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. were our accountants prior to February 7, 2006.

The aggregate fees billed and expected to be billed for professional services by Peterson Sullivan LLP for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and review of consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-Q (17 CFR 249.308b) or services that were normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the 2009 fiscal year are $40,000 (2008 - $44,500).

17

Audit-Related Fees:

The aggregate fees billed to us for assurance and related services by Peterson Sullivan LLP that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under audit fees for fiscal 2009 were $0 (2008 - $0).

Tax Fees:

The aggregate fees billed to us for professional services by Peterson Sullivan LLP for tax compliance for fiscal 2009 were $0 (2008 - $5,175).

All Other Fees:

The aggregate fees billed to us for products and services provided by Peterson Sullivan LLP, other than reported under Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees for fiscal 2009 were $0 (2008 - $0).

The Audit Committee feels that the services rendered by Peterson Sullivan LLP were compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

VOTE REQUIRED FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PETERSON SULLIVAN LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2009

The ratification of theappointment of the auditors for the year ending December 31, 2009 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL 3. TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 100 MILLION TO 300 MILLION

The Board of Directors has adopted a resolution declaring it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that the Company’s Articles ofIncorporation be amended to provide for an increase in the authorized number of the Company’s shares of common stock from 100 million shares to 300 million shares of stock. Such resolution also recommends that such amendment be approved and adopted by the Company’s shareholders and directs that such proposal be submitted to the Company’s shareholders at its annual meeting.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes issuance of a maximum of 100 million shares of common stock. If the Board of Directors’ proposal is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Board of Directors would have authority to issue up to 300 million shares of common stock to such persons, and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine without further action by the shareholders except as may be required by law.

As of August 9, 2010, there were 86,391,857 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. To date, we have financed our operations through the issuance of our equity securities.  We expect that we may need to continue to do so.  With only approximately 19% of our authorized common stock remaining available for issuance the Board of Directors believes it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to increase the number of authorized shares which the Company may issue.

The Board of Directors has proposed the increase in the authorized capital stock to provide shares which could be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including mergers, acquisitions, the raising of additional capital, and implementation of incentive and other option plans. While the Board of Directors believes it important that the Company has the flexibility that would be provided by having additional authorized capital stock available, the Company does not have any plans, agreements or arrangements that would require the issuance of such stock. The Board of Directors believes it would be in the Company’s best interest, however, to have such additional shares of authorized stock available to enable it to take advantage of opportunities for possible future acquisitions, raising capital for future development and operations and the establishment of equity compensation plans. It is also possible that additional capital stock that would be authorized by the proposed amendment could be issued in a transaction that might discourage offers by takeover bidders or make such offers more difficult or expensive to accomplish, although the Board of Directors has no current plans for any such use of the capital stock.

18

The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will become effective upon approval by a majority of the shares voting on the proposal and the filing of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Such Certificate of Amendment would amend Article Fourth of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to read as follows:

“The authorized capital stock of this corporation shall consist of 300 Million (300,000,000) shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.”

If this proposal is approved bythe Company’s stockholders, the Company will as soon as practicable following the Annual Meeting, file with the Secretary of State of the State ofDelaware the Certificate of Amendment substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

If approved by the shareholders, The Company anticipates that such amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will be filed as soon as practicable.

VOTE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCRESE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES FROM 100,000,000 TO 300,000,000

The approval of the vote required to approve the amendment to the company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting.
