We are in the business of mineral exploration. We have only recently commenced our mineral exploration activities. We acquired an option to acquire a 70% interest in three mineral claims located in the Prelude Lake area in the Northwest Territories, Canada from Consolidated Global Minerals Ltd. on January 17, 2002. Consolidated Global Minerals Ltd. is a public company whose shares are traded on the Canadian Venture Exchange. Mr. George Heard, one of our directors, is a director and the president of Consolidated Global Minerals. We refer to these mineral claims as the Prelude Lake mineral claims as they are in the vicinity of the Prelude Lake, approximately forty-five kilometres from the city of Yellowknife in the south-central Northwest Territories. We are presently undertaking preliminary exploration work to search for economic mineralization on these claims. We define economic mineralization as the presence of mineralization on our mineral claims in sufficient quantity and concentration and in an accessible location that would justify the commercial extraction of these minerals through an operating mine. Our plan of operations is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Prelude Lake mineral claims in order to assess whether these claims possess commercially exploitable diamond and gold mineral reserves. We have commenced an initial stage of exploration on our mineral properties. Our plan of operations is to complete this initial stage of exploration. We will assess whether to undertake further stages on our exploration program based on the recommendations of a geological report that we plan to obtain on the initial stage of exploration, once completed, and based on our ability to finance further exploration. Our proposed exploration program is designed to explore for commercially exploitable deposits of diamonds and gold minerals. We have not, nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of diamonds or gold on these mineral claims. We are an exploration stage company and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our mineral claims. Since we are in the exploration stage of our corporate development, we have not yet earned any revenues from our planned operations. Our financial information as of February 28, 2002, being the date of our latest balance sheet included with this prospectus is summarized below: ----------------------------------------------------------- Cash as at February 28, 2002 $73,942 ----------------------------------------------------------- Current Liabilities as at February 28, 2002 $7,574 ----------------------------------------------------------- Working Capital as at February 28, 2002 $66,368 ----------------------------------------------------------- Net Loss from Inception to February 28, 2002 $8,612 ----------------------------------------------------------- We attribute our net loss from inception to having no revenues to offset our expenses from the acquisition and exploration of our optioned mineral claims and the professional fees related to the creation and operation of our business. We have sufficient funds to enable us to complete the initial phase of exploration on our mineral claims. Should we decide to proceed with further exploration based on the results of this initial phase of exploration, we will require additional financing in order to pay for the expense of additional exploration of our mineral claims. We were incorporated on December 3, 2001 under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at Suite 414 - 1859 Spyglass Place, Vancouver, British Columbia 98230. Our telephone number is (604) 872-4107. The Offering Securities Being Offered Up to 4,532,000 shares of our common stock. Offering Price and Alternative Plan of Distribution The offering price of the common stock is $0.015 per share. We intend to apply to the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board to allow the trading of our common stock upon our becoming a reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If our common stock becomes so traded and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of stock will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions 4 negotiated by the selling shareholders. The offering price would thus be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the selling shareholders. Minimum Number of Shares None. To Be Sold in This Offering Securities Issued And to be Issued 11,532,000 shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. All of the common stock to be sold under this prospectus will be sold by existing shareholders. Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling shareholders. 5 Risk Factors An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Risks Related To Our Financial Condition And Business Model If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail Our current operating funds are adequate to complete the initial phase of exploration of our mineral claims. As of February 28, 2002, we had cash in the amount of $73,942. We have commenced undertaking the initial phase of exploration and we have no income. Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of our mineral claims, and the development of these mineral claims if our exploration indicates that our mineral claims possess commercially exploitable mineral reserves. While we have sufficient funds to carry out the first phase of the recommended exploration program on the Prelude Lake mineral claim, we will require additional financing in order to complete a more extensive exploration program. We will also require additional financing if the costs of the exploration of our optioned mineral claim are greater than anticipated. If our exploration programs are successful in discovering ore of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the Prelude Lake mineral claim into commercial production. We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to obtain financing when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, the known material factors being market prices for diamonds and gold, investor acceptance of our mineral claims, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. See discussion of our exploration program under the heading, "Description of Business." There Is Substantial Doubt About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern. We have incurred a net loss of $8,612 for the period from December 3, 2001 (inception) to February 28, 2002, and have no revenues. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our mineral properties. We plan to seek additional capital through private placements of our common stock. Our 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 we cannot continue in existence. Our auditors have made reference to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report on our audited financial statements for the period ended February 28, 2002. If we do not conduct mineral exploration on our mineral claims or pay fees in lieu of mineral exploration, then our mineral claims will lapse We must complete mineral exploration work on our Prelude Lake mineral claims and make filings with the Canadian regulatory authorities regarding the work completed or pay filing fees in lieu of completing work on our claims. If we do not conduct any mineral exploration on our claims or make the required payments in lieu of completing mineral exploration, then our claims will lapse and we will lose all interest that we have in these mineral claims. The expiration dates of the mineral claims are currently June 21, 2005 and January 14, 2006. Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure We have just begun the initial stages of exploration of our mineral claims, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate the business successfully. We were incorporated on December 3, 2001 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities, the acquisition of the option to acquire the Prelude Lake mineral claims, obtaining a geological report on our mineral claims and initiating the first phase of 6 exploration. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. We face a high risk of business failure as a result of these factors. As we are a new mineral exploration company, there is a high probability that our business will fail Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Due to these factors, there is a high probability that our business will fail. Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims and the production of minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail. Because of the speculative nature of exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and this business will fail The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that our mineral claims contain commercially exploitable reserves of diamonds and gold. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan. Our business will fail if we are not able to earn revenues of substantiate that the Prelude Lake mineral claims host commercially exploitable reserves of diamonds or gold. Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We do not have any insurance that would cover these potential liabilities. Because access to our optioned mineral claims may be restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in our exploration efforts Access to the Prelude Lake mineral claim will be restricted through some of the year due to weather in the area. The Prelude Lake mineral claims are located on the Canadian shield and the land is characterized by many lakes and muskeg conditions that make transportation and access difficulty unless the ground and lakes are frozen, in the winter, or the ground is dry and free of snow, in the summer. Accordingly, access to the claims is generally only available during the summer and winter periods and is not available in spring break-up and fall freeze-up periods. As a result, any attempt to test or explore the property is largely limited to the times when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts. Such delays can have a significant negative effect on our results of operations. 7 Risks Related To Our Market and Strategy Because our sole executive officer has only agreed to provide his services on a part-time basis, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail Mr. Hand, our sole executive officer, provides his services on a part-time basis averaging approximately 8 hours per week. Mr. Hand may pursue other business activities, provided that these other activities do not interfere with his obligations to us. Mr. Hand will devote much of his full-time attention to other business pursuits. If the demands of our business require the full business time of Mr. Hand, he is prepared to adjust his timetable to devote more time to our business. However, there can be no assurance that Mr. Hand will be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business, as and when needed. Because our sole executive officer does not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk our business will fail Mr. Hand, our sole executive officer, does not have formal training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral exploration company. In addition, Mr. Hand lacks technical training and experience with exploring for, starting and operating a mine. This lack of training means that our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements necessary to complete our planned exploration program and may make decisions and choices that do not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches that are commonly used by mineral exploration companies. Consequently, our operations, earning, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to our management's lack of experience in this industry. As a result of this lack of technical training and experience, we will have to rely on the technical services of others trained in appropriate areas in order to complete our exploration program. Risks Related To Legal Uncertainty Because We Will Be Subject To Compliance With Government Regulation, Our Anticipated Cost Of Our Exploration Program May Increase There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict the exploration and extraction of minerals. We will be subject to the Canada Department of Indian and Northern Affairs - Land Use Regulations and Canada Mining Regulations as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain land use permits and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these regulations. There is also a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying our exploration program. Risks Related To This Offering If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that a market will develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide investors with no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. If our common stock is not traded on the bulletin board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment. If a market for our common stock develops, our stock price may be volatile If a market for our common stock develops, we anticipate that the market price of our common stock will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including: (1) the results of our geological exploration program; 8 (2) our ability or inability to arrange for financing; (3) commodity prices for silver and gold; and (4) conditions and trends in the mining industry. Further, if our common stock is traded on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If the selling shareholders sell a large number of shares all at once or in blocks, the market price of our shares would most likely decline. The selling shareholders are offering 4,532,000 shares of our common stock through this prospectus. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange, but should a market develop, shares sold at a price below the current market price at which the common stock is trading will cause that market price to decline. Moreover, the offer or sale of a large number of shares at any price may cause the market price to fall. The outstanding shares of common stock covered by this prospectus represent approximately 39% of the common shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. Forward-Looking Statements This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in this Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus. Use Of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholders. Determination Of Offering Price The $0.015 per share offering price of our common stock was arbitrarily chosen. However, the selection of this particular price was influenced by the last sales price from our most recent private offering of common stock that was $0.015 per share. There is no relationship whatsoever between this price and our assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. We intend to apply to the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board for the trading of our common stock upon our becoming a reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend to file a registration statement under the Exchange Act concurrently with the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. If our common stock becomes so traded and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of stock will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions negotiated by the selling shareholders. The offering price would thus be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the selling shareholders. Dilution The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders. 9 Selling Shareholders The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 4,532,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. The shares include were acquired by the selling shareholders from us in an offering that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 and completed on February 28, 2002.

The named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to these shares, unless otherwise shown in the table. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 11,532,000 shares of common stock outstanding on May 1, 2002. Except as described below, none of the selling shareholders: (1) has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or (2) has ever been one of our officers or directors. Mr. Terry Heard is the adult brother of Mr. George Heard, one of our directors. 14 Plan Of Distribution The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions: 1. On such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading; 2. In privately negotiated transactions; 3. Through the writing of options on the common stock; 4. In short sales; or 5. In any combination of these methods of distribution. The sales price to the public is fixed at $0.015 per share until such time as the shares of our common stock become traded on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or another exchange. Although we intend to apply for trading of our common stock on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, public trading of our common stock may never materialize. If our common stock becomes traded on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or another exchange, then the sales price to the public will vary according to the selling decisions of each selling shareholder and the market for our stock at the time of resale. In these circumstances, the sales price to the public may be: 1. The market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of sale; 2. A price related to such prevailing market price of our common stock; or 3. Such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time. The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144. The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the selling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock. The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things: 1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock; 2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and 3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act. 15 Legal Proceedings We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings.

It is believed by us that all persons named have full voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated, unless otherwise noted in the table. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock. 18 Description Of Securities General Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of May 1, 2002, there were 11,532,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding that were held by approximately forty-three (43) stockholders of record. We have not issued any shares of preferred stock.

Nevada Anti-Takeover laws Nevada revised statutes sections 78.378 to 78.3793 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Interests Of Named Experts And Counsel No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. An interest will be deemed a substantial interest if the value of the interest, including the fair market value of all securities of the issuer received or to be received, or subject to options, warrants or rights received or to be received, exceeds $50,000. 20 No expert or counsel named in this prospectus is connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee. Cane & Company, LLC, our independent legal counsel, has provided an opinion on the validity of our common stock. Morgan & Company, independent chartered accountants, has audited our financial statements included in this prospectus and registration statement to the extent and for the periods set forth in their audit report. Morgan & Company has presented their report with respect to our audited financial statements. The report of Morgan & Company is included in reliance upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. Disclosure Of Commission Position Of Indemnification For Securities Act Liabilities Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision. Organization Within Last Five Years We were incorporated on December 3, 2001 under the laws of the state of Nevada. We purchased an option to acquire a 70% interest in three mineral claims located in the Prelude Lake area of the Northwest Territories, Canada from Consolidated Global Minerals Ltd. in January 2002. Mr. Hand, our sole executive officer and one of our directors, has been our sole promoter since our inception. Mr. Hand acquired 7,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.001 US per share on January 15, 2002. Mr. Hand paid a total purchase price of $7,000 for these shares. Other than the purchase of his stock and a management agreement, Mr. Hand has not entered into any agreement with us in which he is to receive or provide to us any thing of value. Description Of Business In General We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We acquired an option to own a 70% interest in three mineral claims in the Northwest Territories, Canada in January 2002. We refer to these mineral claims as the Prelude Lake mineral claims. Further exploration of these mineral claims is required before a final determination as to their commercial viability can be made. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our mineral claims. Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration work on these claims in order to ascertain whether they possess commercially exploitable quantities of diamonds and gold. We can provide no assurance to investors that our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic feasibility. Option Agreement for the Prelude Lake Mineral Claims We have purchased an option to acquire a 70% interest in the Prelude Lake mineral claims pursuant to an option agreement dated January 17, 2001 between us and Consolidated Global Minerals Ltd. ("Consolidated 21 Global Minerals"). The consideration paid by us to Consolidated Global Minerals for the grant of the option was $1,000. We are entitled to exercise the option by completing the following required exploration expenditures on the Prelude Lake mineral claims in accordance with the option agreement: (A) $24,000 on or before November 30, 2002; (B) further $20,000 on or before November 30, 2003; and (C) a final $31,250 on or before November 30, 2004. In the event that we spend, in any of the above periods, less than the required sum, we may, at our option, pay to Consolidated Global Minerals the difference between the amount actually spent and the required exploration expenditure in full satisfaction of the exploration expenditures to be incurred. In the event that we spend, in any period, more than the required sum, then the excess will be carried forward and applied to the required exploration expenditures to be incurred in subsequent periods. If we fail to make any required payment or incur any required exploration expenditure, then our option will terminate and we will have no further rights to the Prelude Lake mineral claims. Ownership of the Prelude Lake Mineral Claims The Prelude Lake minerals claims are currently owned by Consolidated Global Minerals subject to the agreement of Consolidated Global Minerals to make the following payments to R.T. Heard & Associates: 1. an annual royalty in the amount of $50,000 CDN (approximately $31,900 US as of May 1, 2002), payable in two equal installments on May 27 and November 27 of each year; 2. payment of a 4% gross overriding royalty. The gross overriding royalty is defined as 4% of the average appraised value of all gem and industrial diamonds recovered, sorted and graded from the property, free and clear of all costs of development and operations. 3. payment of a 2% net smelter royalty. The net smelter royalty will equal 2% of all amounts received from any product mined from the property, other than diamonds, subject to the deduction of smelter, minting or refining costs. In the event that Consolidated Global Minerals defaults on its obligations to R.T. Heard & Associates, then R.T. Heard & Associates will have the right to demand return of the property from Consolidated Global Minerals. R.T. Heard & Associates agreed upon execution of our agreement with Consolidated Global Minerals to waive the payment of the annual royalty until December 31, 2003. In the event that we exercise our option, we will acquire a 70% undivided right, title and interest in and to the Prelude Lake mineral claims free and clear of all charges, encumbrances and claims, subject to the obligation to pay to R.T. Heard & Associates an amount equal to 70% of the annual royalty, gross overriding royalty and net smelter royalty payable under the agreement between Consolidated Global Minerals and R.T. Heard & Associates. We will not be responsible for payment of any amount on account of the annual royalty, gross overriding royalty and net smelter royalty payable under the agreement between Consolidated Global Minerals and R.T. Heard & Associates until such time as we have exercised our option and acquired a 70% interest in the property. Any amounts payable to R.T. Heard & Associates will only accrue from the date of exercise of our option and acquisition of a 70% interest in the property. In the event that either we or Consolidated Global Minerals fails to make any payment to R.T. Heard & Associates on account of the annual royalty, gross overriding royalty or net smelter royalty after the exercise of our option, then R.T. Heard & Associates will have the right to demand return of the property and we would lose all of our interest in the Prelude Lake mineral claims. In the event that we are successful in acquiring a 70% interest in the Prelude Lake mineral claims by exercise of our option, we and Consolidated Global have agreed under our option agreement to enter into a joint venture for the purpose of further exploring and developing and, if economically and politically feasible, constructing and operating a mine on the Prelude Lake mineral claims. 22 Recording of the Prelude Lake Mineral Claims The Prelude Lake mineral claims consist of three contiguous mineral claims situated 45 kilometers northeast of Yellowknife in south-central Northwest Territories. The mineral claims cover an area of 465 acres on the southeast shore of Prelude Lake and are recorded as follows: Claim Name Record No. Area(acres) Expiry Date ----------- ---------- ----------- ------------ JEN 1 F24066 206.60 January 14, 2006 JEN 2 F37232 103.30 June 21, 2005 JEN 3 F37233 154.95 June 21, 2005 The three Prelude Lake mineral claims were staked in 1994 and are in good standing until June 21, 2005 (Jen 2 and 3) and January 14, 2006 (Jen 1) based on prior exploration work completed on the properties by previous owners. The mineral claims have not been surveyed. Mineral claims in the Northwest Territories may be kept in good standing by conducting representation work valued at $4.00 CDN per acre (approximately $2.50 US per acre as of May 1, 2002) during the first two years of tenure and $2.00 CDN per acre (approximately $1.25 US per acre as of May 1, 2002) per year thereafter for a period of up to ten years. Representation work consists of eligible geological exploration work conducted on the property. A statement of work, supported by a technical report is required to substantiate representation work, must be filed under the Canada Mining Regulations to maintain the claims in good standing. Where the claims have been kept in good standing for ten years, then the holder must either apply to take the claim to a mining lease or allow the claim to lapse. An application for a mining lease would involve a legal survey of the mineral claims and if granted would be issued for a period of twenty-one years. Location of the Prelude Lake Mineral Claims The Prelude Lake mineral claims are situated approximately 35 kilometers northeast of Yellowknife in south-central Northwest Territories, Canada. Conventional access to the mineral claims is via highway 4 (Ingraham Trail) from Yellowknife to the east end of Prelude Lake, a distance of 45 km. Equipment and supplies can be transported to this point which is 3.5 km southeast of the mineral claims. Prelude Lake can be used for boat access during the summer months and for snow machines in winter. The city of Yellowknife, with a permanent population of 18,000, is the capital of the Northwest Territories and is a major supply and services centre. The city is connected by highway with Alberta to the south and has daily scheduled air services. The climate of the Yellowknife area is typical of Canada's northern regions. Winter conditions persist from late October through April with mean daily temperatures ranging from minus 7 degrees Celsius to minus 28 degrees. Average temperatures in July and August range from 12 to 28 degrees Celsius. Average annual precipitation includes 15 cm of rain and 135 cm of snow. Mineral exploration work is feasible throughout the year with the exception of the ice-breakup period in the spring and the freeze-up period in the fall. Ice remains on most lakes through the end of May. The terrain in the area of the Prelude Lake mineral claims is typical of the northern Canadian Shield. Locally extensive forest cover is broken by numerous lakes and open, swampy areas. Topography is subdued with elevations in the claims area ranging from 167 metres above sea level on the surface of Prelude Lake to more than 220 metres immediately west of the small, 250 metres diameter circular lake on the JEN 1 claim. Locally steep topography surrounds the western and northern limits of this lake. Geological Report We engaged Mr. Nick Carter, Ph.D., P.Eng. to prepare an initial geological evaluation report on the Prelude Lake mineral claims. Mr. Carter is a graduate of the University of New Brunswick with B.Sc.(1960), Michigan Technological University with M.S.(1962) and the University of British Columbia with Ph.D.(1974). 23 We received Mr. Carter's report on February 25, 2002. Mr. Carter's report is based in part on a previous report on the Prelude Lake mineral claims prepared Mr. Carter and dated March 25, 1997, and on records of previous exploratory work completed between 1973 and 1998. The purpose of our obtaining the geological report was to assist us with a determination as to whether we should proceed with further exploration procedures to evaluate the feasibility of a mining project on the optioned mineral claims. The geological report summarizes the results of the history of the exploration of the mineral claims, the regional and local geology of the mineral claims and the mineralization and the geological formations. The geological report also gives conclusions regarding potential mineralization of the mineral claims and recommends a further geological exploration program. Exploration History of the Mineral Claims The history of the exploration of the mineral claims is summarized in the geological report that we obtained from Mr. Carter. Gold mineralization within the boundaries of the present Prelude Lake mineral claims was discovered in the 1940's and limited exploration work was conducted through 1973. While some locally good grades of gold mineralization were obtained from this work, the principal focus of more recent investigations has been directed to the search for diamond-bearing kimberlite pipes. The present claims were staked in early 1994 to cover both a known gold showing and a nearby 250 metres diameter circular lake which was thought to be reflecting the presence of a possible kimberlite pipe. Prospecting and the collection of samples for mineral analyses were undertaken in mid-1994 and geological surveys were completed over and adjacent to the circular lake in May of 1996. The 1994 and 1996 work provided sufficient representation work to maintain the three Prelude Lake mineral claims in good standing until 2005 and 2006. Geology and Mineralization of the Mineral Claims The results of the geological report prepared by Mr. Carter indicate that the Prelude Lake mineral claims include a reasonably well documented zone of gold mineralization plus indications of a possible kimberlite pipe. Kimberlite pipes are volcanic intrusions that originated from great depths (+150 km) within the earth's crust and include angular fragments of older, crustal rock which are incorporated by the parent magma during its rapid ascent to the earth's surface. Some of these fragments, from deeper parts of the crust, may contain diamonds. Kimberlite pipes are circular in plan and carrot-shaped in section and may extend to depths of between 500 and 1000 metres below present day surface. Numerous kimberlite pipes are known throughout the south-central Northwest Territories including one pipe south of Yellowknife. Kimberlites erode much more readily than the more resistant rocks they intrude and the recessive areas above these pipes are commonly occupied by lakes. Limited work to date on the Prelude Lake mineral claims has identified minerals which may be indicative of a kimberlite possibly centered on the small circular lake in the northeastern part of the Prelude Lake mineral claims. Recommendations of Geological Report The geological report concluded that the Prelude Lake mineral claims are of sufficient merit to warrant further exploratory work. While the principal focus of this work should be directed to further investigation of the potential for a diamond-bearing kimberlite; the known gold-bearing zone on the Prelude Lake mineral claims warrants further prospecting in an attempt to identify similar, parallel structures. A first phase exploratory program is recommended by the geological report that is to consist of the drilling of eight vertical holes of 20 meters each. The purpose of this exploratory drill program is to test the bedrock beneath the small circular lake in the central property area for the presence of kimberlite. The proposed program, which is estimated to take 15 to 20 days to complete, is recommended to be undertaken during the winter months on the frozen lake surface. The geological report recommended that two east-west fences of four 24 holes each be drilled at 50 meters centers to adequately investigate the nature of the bedrock beneath the lake. Water depths are estimated to be between 6 and 8 meters and it should be possible to recover between 12 and 14 meters of core from each hole. The estimated cost of the recommended geological program is $24,668. Accordingly, the completion of this initial phase of exploration will satisfy the exploration expenditure requirement of $24,000 required prior to November 30, 2002 pursuant to our option agreement with Consolidated Global Minerals Ltd. The geological report concluded that further exploratory work on the Prelude Lake mineral claims would be dependent on the results obtained from the initial phase of exploration work. Current State of Exploration We have accepted the recommendations of the geological report and have decided to proceed to complete the initial phase geological exploration recommended by the geological report. We retained Mr. Terry Heard of R.T. Heard & Associates to undertake a visit to the Prelude Lake mineral claims to identify the drill targets for the recommended exploration program. Mr. Heard completed the visit to the site of the claims in early April 2002 and has identified the drilling targets. A decision has been made to drill from the edge of the Prelude Lake at an angle in order to obtain drilling core samples from rock beneath the lake. The geological report recommended drilling through ice on the lake in winter but this would not be possible to undertake until next winter due to weather conditions. We have engaged Consolidated Global Minerals to complete the drilling program recommended by the geological report. Consolidated Global Minerals has indicated to us that they anticipate proceeding with the drilling program in the late spring or early summer of 2002. The timing will depend on the availability of drilling equipment and work crews in the vicinity of the Prelude Lake mineral claims. Core samples will be obtained from the drilling program and will be sent to a qualified laboratory for analysis. The results of the geological program will be forwarded to Mr. Carter, our geological consultant, for his interpretation and analysis. Mr. Carter will provide us with his conclusions and recommendations in the form of a further geological report. We anticipate that we would receive this geological report in the fall of 2002. We will make a determination whether to proceed with additional exploration based on our review of the results of this initial phase of exploration. In making our determination, we will assess whether the results of the exploration program are sufficiently positive to enable us to achieve additional financing that will enable us to pay for additional exploration. Our planned exploration program is exploratory in nature and there is no assurance that mineral reserves will be found. The Prelude Lake mineral claims presently do not have any mineral reserves. The property that is the subject to the mineral claim is undeveloped and does not contain any open-pit or underground mines. There is no mining plant or equipment located on the property that is the subject of the mineral claim. Currently, there is no power supply to the mineral claim. Competitive Conditions We are a junior mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other junior mineral resource exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral resource exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral resource exploration companies may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors. If the results of our mineral exploration program are successful, we may try to sell our mineral claims to a senior exploration company or to enter into a joint venture agreement with a senior exploration company for the further exploration and possible production of our mineral claims. We would face competition from other junior mineral resource exploration companies if we attempt to enter into a sale or a joint venture agreement with a senior 25 exploration company. Senior exploration companies have limited ability to purchase properties from junior exploration properties or to enter into joint venture agreements with junior exploration programs and will seek the junior exploration companies who have the properties that they deem to be the most attractive in terms of potential return and investment cost. Compliance with Government Regulation All mineral exploration activities undertaken on the Prelude Lake mineral claims must be completed in accordance with the Territorial Land Use Regulations of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. The Territorial Land Use Regulations do not impose any permitting requirements for the initial stages of exploration work involving prospecting, staking or locating a mineral claim unless the exploration requires the use of equipment or material that normally requires a permit. The regulations prescribe thresholds that will require either a Class B land use permit or a Class A land use permit depending on the amount of physical disturbance to the land. The exploration work to be completed on the Prelude Lake mineral claims will not meet the threshold requirements that would require a land use permit. Accordingly, we may proceed with this initial phase of exploration without any land use permit. We anticipate that any subsequent stages of exploration would require either a Class B land use permit or a Class A land use permit due to the fact that any further exploration program would most likely involve greater disturbance to the land. It will not be possible to determine which class of land use permit would be required at this stage until the nature of the exploration program is determined. Applications may be made through the Mackenzie Land and Valley Water Board in the Northwest Territories. Application fees are in the order of $150 for a Class B land use permit. Mineral exploration activities may only be undertaken in the Northwest Territories by persons who hold prospecting licenses issued under the Canada Mining Regulations. We will not be required to obtain a prospecting license in order to proceed with the initial phase of our exploration as we have contracted with persons who hold the required prospecting licenses to complete this work. We will be required to obtain a prospecting license if we exercise our option and become the 70% owner of the Prelude Lake mineral claims. We would be required to register under the Business Corporations Act in the Northwest Territories prior to obtaining a prospecting license. The cost of completing this registration and obtaining a prospecting license is estimated at being in the order of $1500. Employees We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our Mr. Grayson Hand, our sole executive officer and one of our directors. We conduct our business largely through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties. Research and Development Expenditures We did incur any research or development expenditures from December 3, 2001, the date of our incorporation, through to February 28, 2002, the date of our audited financial statements included with this prospectus. Subsidiaries We do not have any subsidiaries. Patents and Trademarks We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark. 26 Plan Of Operations Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Prelude Lake mineral claims to determine whether they possess commercially exploitable reserves of diamonds and gold. We are currently undertaking the initial phase of the exploration program recommended by the geological report we obtained on our optioned mineral property. We anticipate that this phase of the recommended geological exploration program will cost approximately $24,668. We had $73,942 in cash as of February 28, 2002. Accordingly, we are able to proceed with this initial phase of exploration without additional financing. We anticipate that this first phase will be complete by the fall of 2002. Upon completion of this first phase of exploration, we will obtain a geological report that will summarize the results of this exploration program and will make recommendations as to the conduct of further exploration on the Prelude Lake mineral claims. We will make a determination as to whether to proceed with further exploration based on the recommendations of this geological report. If a recommendation is made in favor of further exploration, we will assess whether to proceed with additional exploration based on the cost of the recommended exploration program, our cash resources at the time and our ability to raise any additional financing that will be required to proceed with this further exploration. We will be required to complete further exploration prior to substantiating whether or not the Prelude Lake mineral claims host commercially exploitable reserves of diamonds or gold. The costs of proceeding with an additional exploration program are not known to us at this time and will not be known until the completion of preliminary exploration. We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months: 1. $24,668 in connection with the completion of the first phase of the recommended geological exploration program on our Prelude Lake mineral claims; 2. $9,000 in respect of our management agreement with WFC Management Corporation for the services of Mr. Grayson Hand, our sole executive officer and one of our directors; and 3. $30,000 for operating expenses, including professional legal and accounting expenses associated with our becoming a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; We had cash in the amount of $73,942 as of February 28, 2002. Our total expenditures over the next twelve months are anticipated to be $63,668. Based on our working capital position of $66,368 at February 28, 2002, we believe we have sufficient cash resources to pay for our operating expenses over the next twelve months. Results Of Operations For Period Ending February 28, 2002 We did not earn any revenues during the period ending February 28, 2002. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $8,612 for the period from inception on December 3, 2001 to February 28, 2002. These operating expenses included: (a) payment of $1,000 in connection with our option payment obligations, (b) payments of $999 for exploration costs in connection of the Prelude Lake mineral claim; (c) professional fees in the amount of $5,762 in connection with our corporate organization; and (d) management fees in the amount of $750 paid to W.F.C. Management, a private company controlled by Mr. Grayson Hand, our sole executive officer and one of our directors. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to our completion additional geological exploration of the Prelude Lake mineral claims and the professional fees to be incurred in connection with the filing of a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. We anticipate our ongoing operating expenses will also increase once we become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 27 We incurred a loss in the amount of $8,612 for the period from inception to February 28, 2002. Our loss was attributable entirely to operating expenses. Liquidity and Capital Resources We had cash of $73,942 as of February 28, 2002, and had working capital of $66,368 as of February 28, 2002. Our total expenditures over the next twelve months are anticipated to be $54,668 based on our stated plan of operations, as outlined above. Based on our working capital position of $66,368 at February 28, 2002, we believe we have sufficient cash resources to pay for our operating expenses over the next twelve months. We anticipate that we will require additional financing to proceed with exploration of the Prelude Lake mineral claims beyond the initial phase of exploration. We have no arrangements for any additional financing and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve this additional financing. We anticipate that any additional financing would be through sales of our common stock. Additional sales of our common stock would result in dilution to our current shareholders. If we do not complete the exploration expenditures required under the option agreement for the Prelude Lake mineral property, then our option will terminate and we will lose all our rights and interest in the Prelude Lake mineral property. If we do not secure additional financing to incur the required exploration expenditures, we may consider bringing in a joint venture partner to provide the required funding. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner. In addition, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to locate a joint venture partner who will assist us in funding the exploration of the Prelude Lake mineral property. We may also pursue acquiring interests in alternate mineral properties in the future. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern. Description Of Property We acquired an option to own a 70% interest in the Prelude Lake mineral claims. We do not own or lease any property other than our option to acquire a 70% interest in the Prelude Lake mineral claims. Our head office is located in the business premises of Mr. Grayson Hand, our sole executive officer and one of our directors. The use of these premises is included in the administrative services provided by WFC Management Corporation pursuant to our management agreement. Accordingly, we do not pay any extra amount under our management agreement for use of these premises. This management agreement has a term of twelve months expiring January 31, 2003. 28 Certain Relationships And Related Transactions Except as described below, none of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us, other than noted in this section: - Any of our directors or officers; - Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director; - Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock; - Any of our promoters; - Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house as such person. We issued 7,000,000 shares of common stock on January 15, 2002 to Mr. Grayson Hand at a price of $0.001 per share for total proceeds of $7,000. Mr. Hand is our sole executive officer and one of our directors. We entered into our option agreement with Consolidated Global Minerals on January 17, 2002 whereby we purchased our option to acquire a 70% interest in the Prelude Lake mineral claims. See Description of Business - Option Agreement for the Prelude Lake Mineral Claims for a detailed discussion of this option agreement. Mr. George Heard, one of directors, is the president and a director of Consolidated Global Minerals. We have entered into a management agreement effective February 1, 2002 with WFC Management Corporation, a company controlled by Mr. Grayson Hand, our President and a director. We pay WFC Management Corporation a management fee of $750 per month for a one year term expiring January 31, 2003 in consideration for WFC Management Corporation providing management and administration services to us. These services include the services of Mr. Hand. We have engaged Consolidated Global Minerals to undertake the geological work program recommended by our geological report on the Prelude Lake mineral claims. See Description of Business - Current State of Exploration for a detailed discussion of this work program. The estimated cost of this work program is $24,668. We will reimburse Consolidated Global Minerals for its expenses incurred in completing this work on our behalf. Mr. George Heard, one of directors, is the president and a director of Consolidated Global Minerals. Market For Common Equity And Related Stockholder Matters No Public Market for Common Stock There is presently no public market for our common stock. We anticipate making an application for trading of our common stock on the NASD over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) 29 the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, if our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities. Holders of Our Common Stock As of the date of this registration statement, we had forty-three (43) registered shareholders. Rule 144 Shares A total of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock will be available for resale to the public after January 15, 2003 in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, 4,532,000 shares of our common stock owned in aggregate by forty-two non-affiliate shareholders will be available for resale to the public after February 28, 2003 in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. These shares comprise all of the shares that are registered by this prospectus. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company's common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: 1. One percent of the number of shares of the company's common stock then outstanding, which, in our case, will equal approximately 115,320 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or 2. The average weekly trading volume of the company's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the company. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of the company's affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our affiliates hold 7,000,000 shares of our stock that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 after January 15, 2003. Stock Option Grants To date, we have not granted any stock options. Registration Rights We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons. We are paying the expenses of the offering because we seek to: (i) become a reporting company with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (ii) enable our common stock to be traded on the 30 NASD over-the-counter bulletin board. We plan to file a Form 8-A registration statement with the Commission prior to the effectiveness of the Form SB-2 registration statement. The filing of the Form 8-A registration statement will cause us to become a reporting company with the Commission under the 1934 Act concurrently with the effectiveness of the Form SB-2 registration statement. We must be a reporting company under the 1934 Act in order that our common stock is eligible for trading on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board. We believe that the registration of the resale of shares on behalf of existing shareholders may facilitate the development of a public market in our common stock if our common stock is approved for trading on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board. We consider that the development of a public market for our common stock will make an investment in our common stock more attractive to future investors. In the near future, in order for us to continue with our mineral exploration program, we will need to raise additional capital. We believe that obtaining reporting company status under the 1934 Act and trading on the OTCBB should increase our ability to raise these additional funds from investors. Dividends There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend: 1. We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or 2. Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. 31 Executive Compensation Summary Compensation Table The table below summarizes all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to Mr. Grayson Hand, our sole executive officer, for all services rendered in all capacities to us for the fiscal period ended February 28, 2002. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Compensation Long Term Compensation ------------------- ----------------------- Other LTIP All Annual Restricted pay- Other Compen- Stock Options/* outs Compen- Name Title Year Salary Bonus sation Awarded SARs (#) ($) sation ---------- --------- ---- ------ ----- ------ ------- -------- ----- ------- Grayson Hand President, 2002 $750 (1) 0 0 0 0 0 0 Secretary, Treasurer and Director -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Paid to WFC Management Corporation pursuant to a management agreement dated February 1, 2002 in respect of services provided by Grayson Hand STOCK OPTION GRANTS We did not grant any stock options to the executive officers during our most recent fiscal year ended February 28, 2002.

(An Exploration Stage Company) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2002 (Stated in U.S. Dollars) MORGAN & COMPANY CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS AUDITORS' REPORT To the Directors LaSalle Resources, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) We have audited the balance sheet of LaSalle Resources, Inc. (an exploration stage company) as at February 28, 2002 and the statements of loss and deficit accumulated during the exploration stage, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the period from December 3, 2001 (date of inception) to February 28, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 28, 2002 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period from December 3, 2001 (date of inception) to February 28, 2002 in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1(c) to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $8,612 since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfil its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LASALLE RESOURCES, INC. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2002 (Stated in U.S. Dollars) 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS a) Organization The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on December 3, 2001. b) Exploration Stage Activities The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage. c) Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $8,612 for the period from December 3, 2001 (inception) to February 28, 2002, and has no sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. 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 the Company cannot continue in existence. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement. The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: LASALLE RESOURCES, INC. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2002 (Stated in U.S. Dollars) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) a) Mineral Property Option Payments and Exploration Costs The Company expenses all costs related to the maintenance and exploration of mineral claims in which it has secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects, therefore, all costs are being expensed. b) 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 contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. c) Foreign Currency Translation Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: i) monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; ii) non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate; iii) revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period. d) Income Taxes The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - "Accounting for Income taxes" (SFAS 109). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting, and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. e) Net Loss Per Share The loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted loss per share is not presented, as the impact of the exercise of options is anti-dilutive. LASALLE RESOURCES, INC. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2002 (Stated in U.S. Dollars) 3. MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST The Company has entered into an option agreement, dated January 17, 2002, to acquire a 70% interest in three mineral claims located in the Northwest Territories of Canada. In order to earn its interest, the Company made a $1,000 cash payment on signing and must incur exploration expenditures of $75,250 in staged payments on or before November 30, 2004.

Indemnification Of Directors And Officers Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws. Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are: (1) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (2) a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful); (3) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (4) willful misconduct. Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless: (1) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; (2) the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors; (3) such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or (4) such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws. Our bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise. Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer of the company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company. 35 Item 25.

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement, or most recent post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and (c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. 2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person sin connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 37 SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on May 1, 2002.
