PROXY STATEMENT

Annual Meeting of Shareholders
To Be Held On April 7, 2006

The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company for voting at an annual meeting of shareholders to be held at Suite 1200, 999 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on April 7, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. (local time) and at any and all adjournments of such meeting (the "Annual Meeting"). If the proxy is executed and returned, it will be voted at the meeting in accordance with any instructions, and if no specification is made, the proxy will be voted for the proposals set forth in the accompanying notice of the Annual Meeting. Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted, either by writing to the Company at the address set forth on page one or in person at the time of the meeting. Additionally, any later dated proxy will revoke a previous proxy from the same shareholder.

VOTING SECURITIES

Only the holders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2006, (the "Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, the Company had ____________ outstanding shares of common stock. Other than the common stock, the Company had no other class of equity securities outstanding. Each share of the common stock is entitled to one vote and votes may be cast either in person or by proxy. There was no other class of voting securities outstanding at that date.

VOTING PROCEDURES

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company's common stock, present at the meeting in person or by proxy, if a quorum exists, is required to elect the directors and to approve the other proposals to come before the meeting. A quorum consists of stockholders representing, either in person or by proxy, a majority of the number of outstanding common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Cumulative voting is not allowed in the election of directors.

Shares of the Company's common stock represented by properly executed proxies that reflect abstentions or "broker non-votes" will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. "Broker non-votes" represent shares held by brokerage firms in "street-name" with respect to which the broker has not received instructions from the customer or otherwise does not have discretionary voting authority. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against the proposals to be considered at the meeting.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being sent on or about March 21, 2006, to stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Seven directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. It is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote for the election of the nominees listed below. It is not expected that any of the

1


nominees will become unavailable for election as a director, but if any nominee should become unavailable for election as a director prior to the meeting, proxies will be voted for another nominee to be designated by the Board of Directors.

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. "Plurality" means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes are elected as Directors up to the maximum number of Directors to be chosen at the meeting. A properly executed proxy marked "withhold" with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the meeting. An abstention, broker non-vote or instructions on the proxy card to withhold a vote will have no effect on the outcome in the election of directors.

For purposes of electing directors at its annual meeting the Company does not have a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions. The Company's board of directors does not believe a nominating committee is necessary since the Company only has two directors.

All members of the Board of Directors participate in the consideration of director nominees. The Board does not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. The Board of Directors believes that a policy is not necessary because the directors have access to a sufficient number of excellent candidates from which to select a nominee when a vacancy occurs on the Board. Individual directors will generally recommend candidates for consideration by the Board. The Board generally seeks candidates with a broad business background and who may also have a specific expertise in such areas as mineral exploration, mining, law, accounting, banking or investment banking.

The Company does not have a compensation committee or a committee performing similar functions. Compensation of the Company's President is negotiated between the Board and the President, which the Board feels is suitable, primarily by comparison of the remuneration paid by other reporting issuers that the Board feels are similarly placed within the same business of the Company.

Option/SAR Grants

No individual grants of stock options, whether or not in tandem with stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and freestanding SARs have been made to any executive officer or any director since our inception, accordingly, no stock options have been exercised by any of the officers or directors in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one fiscal year, whether such performance is measured by reference to our financial performance, our stock price, or any other measure.

Compensation of Directors

The directors did not receive any compensation for serving as members of the Board of Directors. The Board has not implemented a plan to award options. There are no contractual arrangements with any member of the Board of Directors.

Indemnification

Our Bylaws and sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provide for indemnification of our officers and directors in certain situations where they might otherwise personally incur liability, judgments, penalties, fines and expenses in connection with a proceeding or lawsuit to which they might become parties because of their position with the Company. We have authorized the indemnification of our officer and director to the full extent available under the Nevada Revised Statutes.

To the extent that indemnification may be related to liability arising under the Securities Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Compensation of Directors

Standard Arrangements. The Company does not pay its directors for attending meetings of the Board of Directors, although the Company expects to adopt a director compensation policy in the future. The Company has no standard arrangement pursuant to which directors of the Company are compensated for any services provided as a director or for committee participation or special assignments.

Other Arrangements. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this report, no other director of the Company received any form of compensation from the Company during the year ended May 31, 2005. The same level of compensation is projected for fiscal 2005.

During the six months ended November 30, 2005, the Company advanced a total of $10,000 ($5,000 to a company owned by the President, and $5,000 to the President). The advances were for mineral property exploration costs and travel expenses related to the Tanzania mineral property.

During the six months ended November 30, 2005, the Company owed the President $15,000 in management fees, and owed a director of the Company $17,283 for expenses paid on behalf of the Company.

On August 4, 2005, we entered into three agreements to acquire five prospecting licenses to five properties in Tanzania, which cover an area of approximately 1,037.4 square kilometers in Tanzania. The three corporate vendors are controlled by a nominee director, Kulvinder Matharu. The three agreements for the five prospective licenses were amended on November 10, 2005 and again on December 1, 2005. The acquisitions are subject to our due diligence and subject to us being able to close on our acquisition of three prospecting licenses concurrently. Titles to the three properties having been registered in the Company's name, however, the Company has some outstanding due diligence to perform before it completes the transaction and issues the vendors 16,000,000 restricted stock as payment for the acquisitions. The other two properties are currently in the name of Atlas Africa Limited, a Tanzanian company, which is not controlled by Kulvinder Matharu. KBT Discovery Group Tanzania Ltd., a v endor and party to our agreement, has entered into a agreement with Atlas and an option to enter into a joint venture with Atlas. Within 120 days after the first closing, KBT will cause Atlas to terminate the agreements and transfer the two properties to our name, upon which time we have to pay the vendors $25,000 cash and another $50,000 cash within 6 months from the date the $25,000 is paid.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers and 10% or greater shareholders of the Company ("Reporting Persons") to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company (Form 4 and Form 5) and to provide copies of all such forms as filed to the Company. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that certain reports were not required, during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005, the Reporting Persons have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except as follows:

PROPOSAL NO. 2
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Ratification Of Appointment Of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors of the Company has appointed Manning Elliott as independent auditors of the Company for the years ending May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2006. Manning Elliott has served as the Company's independent auditors since May 31, 2004. Although stockholder ratification of the selection of Manning Elliott is not required, the Board considers it desirable for stockholders to pass upon the selection of auditors, and recommends that stockholders vote for ratification of such appointment.

The Company has been advised by Manning Elliott that neither that firm nor any of its associates has any relationship with the Company other than the usual relationship that exists between independent chartered accountants and clients.

It is expected that one or more representatives of Manning Elliott will be present at the meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions of stockholders.

Principal Accounting Firm Fees

The fees billed to the Company for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005 by Manning Elliott and its affiliates were as follows.

1) Audit Fees - The aggregate fees billed us for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of our quarterly financial statements is $7,750 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005 and $nil for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004.

2) Audit-Related Fees - $nil.

3) Tax Fees - $nil.

4) All Other Fees - $nil.

5) Not applicable.

6) Not Applicable.

The Board of Directors is of the opinion that audit and other fees charged by its auditor Manning Elliott during fiscal year 2005 is consistent with Manning Elliott being independent from Douglas Lake Minerals Inc.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MANNING ELLIOTT AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEARS 2005 AND 2006.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

The bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its officers and directors for any liability including reasonable costs of defense arising out of any act or omission of any officer or director on behalf of the Company to the full extent allowed by the laws of the State of Nevada, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.

Anti-takeover State Laws. Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company provide that the provisions of these sections 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 new bylaws state that these provisions do not apply.

Amendments to Bylaws. The new bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by the Board or by the affirmative vote of a majority of voting shareholders.
