1.  
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 9, 2005. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at May 31, 2008, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $75,044 and has accumulated losses of $172,945 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a)  
Basis of Presentation
 
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is August 31.
 
b)  
Interim Financial Statements
 
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
 
c)  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recovery of long-lived assets, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
 
d)  
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
e)  
Mineral Property Costs
 
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on June 9, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
 
f)  
Long-lived Assets
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
 
g)      Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.
 
h)  
Financial Instruments
 
The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and due to related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
 
i)  
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

j)  
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in Canadian dollars and management has adopted SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
 
k)  
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
 
l)  
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at May 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
 
m)  
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.  SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
        m)  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Related Party Transactions
 
a)  
As at May 31, 2008, the Company is indebted to the Secretary of the Company for $40,678 (August 31, 2007 - $11,263), representing expenditures paid on behalf of the Company. This amount is unsecured, bears no interest, and is due on demand.
 
b)  
The Company recognizes donated rent at $250 per month, donated services provided by the Secretary of the Company at $250 per month and donated services provided by the President of the Company at $250 per month. During the nine month period ended May 31, 2008, the Company recognized $2,250 (2007 – $2,250) in donated rent and $4,500 (2007 – $4,500) in donated services.


4.  
Mineral Properties
 
The Company entered into an agreement dated August 25, 2005 to acquire a 100% interest in three mineral claims located near Yale, British Columbia, Canada, for consideration of $7,500. The claims are registered in the name of the Secretary of the Company, who has executed a trust agreement whereby the Secretary agreed to hold the claims in trust on behalf of the Company. The Vendor retains a 2% net smelter royalty. The cost of the mineral property was initially capitalized. As at August 31, 2006, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $7,500, as it had not yet been determined whether there are proven or probable reserves on the property. On January 16, 2008, the three mineral claims were allowed to lapse due to poor results from the first phase of the exploration program.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding Pioneer’s capital needs, business plans and expectations.  Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding Pioneer’s ability to carry out its planned exploration programs on its mineral properties.  Forward-looking statements are made, without limitation, in relation to Pioneer’s operating plans, Pioneer’s liquidity and financial condition, availability of funds, operating and exploration costs and the market in which Pioneer competes.  Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology.  Actual events or results may differ materially.  In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined below, and, from time to time, in other reports Pioneer files with the SEC.  These factors may cause Pioneer’s actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.  Pioneer disclaims any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements.  The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Overview

Pioneer is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral exploration properties.  Up until January 17, 2008, Pioneer held a 100% beneficial interest in three mineral exploration claims named Pipe 1, Queen 1 and Queen 2, which were collectively known as the “Pipe Property” and which were situated along Sawmill Creek, a tributary of the Fraser River, approximately 6.3 kilometres (3.9 miles) northwest of Yale, British Columbia in the New Westminster mining division of British Columbia, Canada.  Pioneer acquired the Pipe Property pursuant to a purchase agreement dated August 25, 2005.  Thomas J. Brady, a director of Pioneer, was holding the property in trust for Pioneer.

Pioneer conducted the first phase of an initial preliminary exploration program for nickel and molybdenum on the Pipe Property.  Pioneer obtained a geological report in November 2007 that summarizes the results and conclusions of this initial phase, which concluded that further exploration of the Pipe Property is not warranted.  Accordingly, Pioneer has abandoned any further exploration of the Pipe Property and on January 16, 2008 Pioneer allowed its registration on the Pipe Property to lapse.

Pioneer is presently seeking to acquire a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property.  Pioneer has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in a new property.  Management anticipates that Pioneer will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any new property.  To date, Pioneer has not entered into any agreement for the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  Further, Pioneer has no arrangements for any financing required to fund its continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  Based on its financial position, there is no assurance that Pioneer will be able to continue its business operations.

Pioneer has not generated any revenue or conducted any development operations since inception.

Exploration Stage Company

Pioneer is an exploration stage company.  Pioneer has abandoned exploration of its only mineral property, the Pipe Property, based on the results of a preliminary exploration program that Pioneer had completed on its mineral property. Accordingly, Pioneer does not own any mineral properties that warrant further exploration.

Plan of Operation

Pioneer’s plan of operations is to seek to acquire an interest in a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property.  Pioneer has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in any new property.  Management anticipates that Pioneer will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  To date, Pioneer has not entered into any agreements for the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  Further, Pioneer has no arrangements for any financing required to fund its continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  Further, even if Pioneer is able to acquire an interest in a new property, there is no assurance that it will be able to raise the financing necessary to complete exploration of the new property.  Based on Pioneer’s financial position, there is no assurance that Pioneer will be able to continue its business operations.

In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:

 
(a)
Management anticipates, in addition to funding its working capital deficit, spending approximately $42,000 for the next 12 months.  The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to Pioneer’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, and general office expenses.

 
(b)
As at May 31, 2008, Pioneer had cash of $3,344 and a working capital deficit of $75,044.  Accordingly, Pioneer will require additional financing in the amount of $117,044 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.

During the 12 month period following the date of this quarterly report, management anticipates that Pioneer will not generate any revenue.  Accordingly, Pioneer will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations.  Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding Pioneer’s plan of operations as Pioneer does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing.  Management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of Pioneer’s common stock.  However, Pioneer does not have any financing arranged and it cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations.  In the absence of such financing, Pioneer will not be able to acquire any interest in a new property and its business plan will fail.  Even if Pioneer is successful in obtaining equity financing and acquires an interest in a new property, additional exploration property will be required before a determination as to whether commercially exploitable mineralization or quantities of oil or gas are present.  If Pioneer does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and its plan of operations.

Risk Factors

An investment in Pioneer’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks.  Prospective investors should refer to all the risk factors disclosed in Pioneer’s Form SB-2/A filed on February 20, 2007.

Liquidity

Cash and Working Capital

As at May 31, 2008, Pioneer had cash of $3,344 and a working capital deficit of $75,044, compared to cash of $162 and working capital of $17,551 as at August 31, 2007.

Plan of Operations

As described above, Pioneer has abandoned its exploration of the Pipe Property based on the initial results of its exploration program and in addition to funding its working capital deficit Pioneer will require $42,000 to pay for anticipated professional fees and administrative expenses over the next 12 months.  Pioneer will require additional financing of an unknown amount if it is to acquire an interest in a new mineral or oil and gas property.  Further, Pioneer will require additional financing to continue to fund future exploration activities if it is successful in acquiring an interest in a new property.  There is no assurance that Pioneer will acquire an interest in a new property or any financing that would enable Pioneer to complete any such acquisition or to carry out future exploration of any new property.

Cash Used In Operating Activities

Pioneer used cash of $24,510 in operating activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to cash used of $22,692 in operating activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Cash From Investing Activities

Pioneer did not use any cash in investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 or fiscal 2007.

Cash Provided By Financing Activities

Pioneer generated cash of $27,692 from financing activities attributable to advances from a director during the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  Pioneer did not generate any cash from financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Mineral Property Costs

Pioneer incurred $141 in mineral property costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  Pioneer has abandoned the exploration program on the Pipe Property.

Professional Fees

Professional expenses included legal, accounting and auditing expenses associated with Pioneer’s corporate organization, the preparation of its financial statements, and its ongoing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Going Concern

Pioneer has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive business activities.  For these reasons Pioneer’s auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt Pioneer will be able to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

Management anticipates continuing to rely on equity sales of Pioneer’s common stock in order to continue to fund its business operations.  Issuances of additional common stock will result in dilution to Pioneer’s existing stockholders.  There is no assurance that Pioneer will achieve any additional sales of its common stock or arrange for debt or other financing to fund its planned activities.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Pioneer has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures

Pioneer had no contingencies or long-term commitments at May 31, 2008.

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

Pioneer is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period.  Pioneer regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recovery of long-lived assets, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.  Pioneer bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The actual results experienced by Pioneer may differ materially and adversely from Pioneer’s estimates.  To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Mineral Property Costs

Pioneer has been in the exploration stage since its inception on June 9, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.  Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”.  Pioneer assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end.  When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.  If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Pioneer is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Mr. Robb has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of Pioneer’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based on such evaluation, Mr. Robb has concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, Pioneer’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports Pioneer files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
