                                   FORM 12b-25
                           NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING

The Company wrote off its investment in resource properties, which comprised
significantly all of the Company's assets, as of April 30, 2003. For the period
ended January 31, 2004, the Company had substantially fewer operations, and
therefore a substantially lower net loss for the period. Since that time the
Company has changed its business plan and its operations for the period ended
January 31, 2005 are substantially greater than the corresponding period in
2004. This resulted in a net loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2005 of
approximately three times greater than the net loss for the same nine month
period in 2004.
