Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2005
Form 51-102F1 as at August 22, 2005

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is engaged in the business of pursuing, acquiring and developing mineral exploration projects. The Company has acquired options to purchase a 50% interest in the Harrison Lake Nickel Copper Project and a 100% interest in the Beale Lake Property, both located in British Columbia. Other exploration properties and projects, both in Canada as well as international, are also being considered. A prospectus offering was recently completed raising a net amount of approximately $2,000,000 which will allow the Company to finance the preliminary work programs on both these properties.

The Beale Lake Project in north western British Columbia, 60 km southeast of Cassiar is a recently identified intrusion-related gold prospect with significant anomalous geochemical values of gold and copper in quartz veins and breccia associated with a Cretaceous intrusive. The target is a multimillion ounce type deposit similar to those in the Tintina Gold belt in the adjacent state of Alaska. The Company has initiated a multi-phase program this summer involving geological mapping and geophysical surveying, to be followed by diamond drilling in the fall.

The Harrison Lake Project located in southwestern British Columbia 130 km east of Vancouver is an advanced exploration stage copper nickel platinum group target with significant geophysical and anomalous geochemical signatures associated with a 60 km long belt. Field work during the past three years has outlined a similar geological environment and identified some similar regional geophysical zones to that found at the B.C. Nickel Mine which is located on the southeast end of this belt. Using data from the airborne geophysical survey completed in 2004, the Company has identified 15 high priority targets associated with both the ultramafic and schist rocks on the property. Detailed geological mapping and geophysical surveying has started, with diamond drilling to follow in the fall of 2005.

OPERATIONS AND EXPENDITURES

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, field programs for both the Beale Lake and Harrison Lake projects were initiated. Both programs will involve geological mapping and geophysical surveying to be followed by diamond drilling.

The administrative expenditures made during the quarter were indicative of the Company’s activities after completion of its public offering. Expenditures in most categories reflected the costs involved in the preparation of materials for and the successful completion of funding. The categories of professional fees, consulting, financing fees, regulatory and transfer fees and interest on demand loans are all much higher compared to the previous fiscal period due to the ancillary costs of the prospectus financing and also a result of the requirement for additional working capital funding due to the delays in completing the prospectus financing.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, management fees charged by a company controlled by a director totaled $7,500.
