SUMMARY OF PROSPECTUS

As used in this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, “we”, “us”, “our” or “Sidewinder Explorations” refers to Sidewinder Explorations Inc. The following summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus before making an investment decision to purchase Shares of our common stock.

Information about Our Company

Sidewinder Explorations Incorporated was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 7, 2006. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on the mineral property, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.

In January 2007 we purchased the Christmas No 1 Lode Mining Claim in the Yellow Pine Mining District, Clark County, Nevada covering an area of approximately 20 acres that we believe are prospective for gold and copper mineral deposits. We commissioned a geological report on the property and we have determined to proceed with our proposed exploration program. The cost of the initial geological report on the property was $3,000 and the estimated cost of the Phase I exploration program is $6,500.

Our administrative offices are located in Kamala, Phuket, Thailand in the home of our sole officer and director, and our fiscal year end is October 31.

RISK FACTORS

General Warning

THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE IN NATURE AND INVOLVE AN EXTREMELY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THEY SHOULD BE PURCHASED ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. THEREFORE, EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD, PRIOR TO PURCHASE, CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS OFFERING DOCUMENT.

1. RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:

We are in the organizational and development stages and any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. A prospective investor should, therefore, be aware that in the event we are not successful in our business plans, any investment in the Shares offered herein may be lost and we may be faced with the possibility of liquidation. In the event of liquidation, existing stockholders will, to the extent that assets are available for distribution, receive a disproportionately greater share of the assets in relation to their cash investment in our securities, than will the investors in this Offering, in that holders of common stock are entitled to share on a pro rata basis in the assets, if any, of our Company that would be available for distribution.

a. We lack an operating history.
Our Company was incorporated in December 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made. Such prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by new entrants into the competitive mining industry. The mining business is, by nature, extremely speculative. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow will be highly dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to locate profitable mineral properties and generate revenues, while reducing exploration costs. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incur significant expenses associated with the exploration of our mineral properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or achieving or sustaining positive cash flow in the future and any such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We anticipate being able to sustain operations for a period of at least twelve (12) months after receipt of the total net proceeds from this Offering without being forced to seek additional financing to continue our business operations and exploration of our properties; however, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

b. If we do not obtain additional financing, our business plan will fail.
Upon completion of this offering, of which there can be no guarantee, we believe our operating funds will be sufficient to complete the Phase I exploration operations on our mineral claim; however, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plans. As of October 31, 2007, we had cash in the bank of $269. Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of our mineral claim. The Phase I exploration program on the property as recommended by our consulting geologist, L. Sookochoff, is estimated to cost approximately $6,500. We will require additional financing in order to complete any further recommended phase of work on our mineral claim as a result of completing the first phase. We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing as and when required.

6



c. If we do not obtain clear title to our mineral claim, our business may fail.
While we have obtained a geological report with respect to our mineral property, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. The property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims, and title may be affected by undetected defects. The property has not been surveyed and, therefore, the precise location and boundaries of the property may be in doubt. We will likely complete a survey on the property as part of the proposed first phase exploration work program. If the survey results are defective, we will lose all right and title to the ground now held by the mineral claim. If we are unable to obtain clear title to the property, you may lose any investment you make in this offering.

The validity of certain mining claims depends upon numerous circumstances and factual matters, many of which are discoverable of record or by other available means, and is subject to many uncertainties of existing law and its applications. If the mining claims we have acquired are determined to be invalid, our planned business operations would be delayed until we were able to locate and acquire additional valid claims. Such a discovery of invalidity of the claims or a delay in implementing our proposed operations could result in a total loss of your investment or an inability to sell any Shares you purchase in this Offering.

d. If we are unable to maintain our interest in our Yellow Pine Mining District mineral claim, then we will lose the mineral claim and our business will fail.
Our mineral properties consist of our interest in Christmas No 1 Lode Mining Claim. The State of Nevada charges an annual fee of $125 per mineral claim on the 1st of September of each year to keep the claim in good standing. We must also make annual exploration expenditures on the mineral property of at least $100 per mineral claim, by the 1st of every September in order to keep our property in good standing with the State of Nevada. If we do not complete the exploration expenditures, we must either make the payment in lieu of the exploration work by the 30th of every December or lose any interest in our mineral claim. If we fail to make any of the required payments, you could lose all or part of any investment you make in this offering.
e. We are dependent on additional financing which may not be available and may result in additional dilution.
Assuming completion of this Offering, of which there can be no guarantee, our continued operations will be dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from operations and/or obtain further financing, if and when needed, through borrowing from banks or other lenders or equity funding. There is no assurance that sufficient revenues can be generated or that additional financing will be available, if and when needed, or on terms favorable to us. In addition, any future equity funding would most likely result in a further dilution to the subscribers of Shares in this Offering.

f. Supplies needed for exploration may not always be available when needed.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies needed for our proposed exploration work could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies of certain products, equipment or materials. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain certain products, equipment and/or materials as and when needed, without interruption, or on favorable terms. Such delays could affect our proposed exploration plans, which could impact your ability to resell any Shares you purchase in this Offering and could require you to hold them for a longer term than expected.

g. Because we do not have any revenues, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.
We have never earned revenues and we have never been profitable. Prior to completing exploration on the mineral property, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. If we are unable to generate financing to continue the exploration of our mineral claim, we will fail and you will lose any investment you make in this offering.
h. Our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
We have incurred a net loss of $50,514 for the period from December 07, 2006 (inception) to October, 31, 2007, and have generated no revenues to date. Our future is totally dependent upon our receipt of the proceeds from this offering or our ability to obtain financing, as well as upon future profitable operations from the development of our mineral claim. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements included with this prospectus have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our auditors have made reference to the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report on our audited financial statements for the period from inception to October 31, 2007. If we are not able to achieve revenues, then we may not be able to continue as a going concern and our financial condition and business prospects will be adversely affected. In any such event, you could risk a loss of any investment you make in this offering.

i. The mineral exploration industry is highly speculative
Gold, silver and strategic metals exploration is highly speculative in nature, involving many risks which even a combination of scientific knowledge and experience cannot overcome, often resulting in unproductive efforts. We are in the very early exploration stage and are wholly dependent on the proceeds of this Offering for the funds necessary to carry out our initial planned exploration program. We cannot guarantee that our exploration work will be successful or that any minerals will be found or that any production of minerals will be realized, if found. Although we believe there is a sufficient basis to engage in exploration work on our property, such work may not result in the discovery of any known minerals or revenues, which could result in a total loss of any investment you make in the Shares offered herein.

j. Our Company’s success is dependent upon the price of precious metals and ores.
Our continued existence and future profitability is highly dependent upon the price of precious metals and ores. The economic viability of a mineral exploration program is highly dependent on, among many other factors, political issues and general economic conditions. During periods of economic downturn or slow economic growth, coupled with eroding consumer confidence or rising inflation, the price and/or sale of precious metals could be severely impacted. Such factors would likely have an immediate effect on our business operations and/or profitability, which could result in a loss of your investment or ability to liquidate any Shares you purchase in this Offering.

k. We are subject to risks inherent in the mining industry and at present we do not have any insurance against such risks.
The business of mining for silver and other metals is generally subject to a number of risks and hazards including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, pressures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, blizzards and earthquakes. At the present time, we do not intend to obtain insurance coverage and even if we were to do so, no assurance can be given that such insurance will continue to be available or that it will be available at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. We might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which may not be insured against or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon our financial performance and results of operations. Mining operations will be subject to risks normally encountered in the mining business.

l. We may be delayed by or unable to comply with government and environmental laws.
We may be delayed by or unable to comply with government and environmental laws, rules and regulations related to our proposed operations which could severely impact our business operations. Our proposed mineral exploration programs will be subject to extensive laws, rules and regulations. Various governmental permits will be required prior to implementation of proposed exploration operations. We are not assured of receiving such permits as and when needed for operations, or at all. There is no assurance environmental or safety standards more stringent than those presently in effect may not be enacted, which could adversely affect future exploration programs. Also, the industry often finds itself in conflict with the interests of private environmental groups which often have an adverse effect on the mining industry.

m. We will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated time and cost of our exploration program.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict the exploration of minerals. We will be subject to the mining laws and regulations of the State of Nevada as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these regulations. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our time and costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program.

n. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully advance the mineral claim into commercial production.
Our mineral property does not contain any known bodies of ore. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing ore of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to advance the mineral claim into commercial production. In such an event, we may be unable to obtain any such funds, or to obtain such funds on terms that we consider economically feasible, and you may lose your entire investment in this offering.

o. Because our sole director and officer has no experience in mineral exploration or formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk our business could fail.
Our director and officer has no experience in mineral exploration and does not have formal training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral exploration company. As a result of this inexperience, there is a higher risk of our being unable to complete our business plan for the exploration of our mineral claim. In addition, we will have to rely on the technical services of others with expertise in geological exploration in order for us to carry out planned exploration program. If we are unable to contract for the services of such individuals, it will make it difficult and maybe impossible to pursue our business plan. There is, thus, a higher risk that our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm. Our business could fail and you could lose any investment you make in this offering.

p. Because our management lacks technical training and experience with exploring for, starting and/or operating a mine, there is a higher risk our business could fail.
Our management lacks technical training and experience with exploring for, starting and/or operating a mine. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Their decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches which mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management’s lack of experience in the industry.

q. Because our executive officer has other business interests, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operation, causing our business to fail.
Our executive officer is currently spending only approximately 10% of his business time on providing management services to us. While he presently possess adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands from his other obligations could increase with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. This could negatively impact our business development, resulting in a loss of any investment you make in our Shares.

r. Because of the fiercely competitive nature of the mining industry, we may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on acceptable terms which will materially affect our financial condition.
The mining industry is competitive in all of its phases. We face strong competition from other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of properties producing, or capable of producing, precious and base metals. Many of these companies have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on terms it considers acceptable or at all. Consequently, our revenues, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
2. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

a. We cannot assure a public market for the shares.
There is currently no public trading market for our securities and there is no guarantee that a regular and established market will develop for our common stock upon completion of this offering or that, if such a market does develop, it will continue. There is also no assurance as to the depth of liquidity of any market for common stock or the prices at which holders may be able to sell any Shares they may purchase in this Offering. As a result, an investment in the Shares may be totally illiquid and investors may not be able to liquidate their investment readily or at all. In the event that an established public market does develop for our common stock, market prices will be influenced by many factors, and will be subject to significant fluctuation in response to variations in our operating results and other factors such as investor perceptions of our Company, supply and demand, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to the industry and developments regarding our activities, future financial condition and management.

b. Issuance of additional shares will reduce the control held by the investors and result in dilution of the book value of their Shares.
Assuming the sale of all Shares offered herein, of which there can be no assurance, there will still be 173,800,000 additional shares of Common Stock which the Board of Directors will have authority to issue in the future for such consideration, as the Board of Directors may deem sufficient. The issuance of any such shares to persons other than the public investors herein will reduce the amount of control held by the investors herein and may result in a dilution of the book value of their Shares. There are presently no commitments, contracts or intentions to issue any additional shares to any persons, other than as set forth herein.

c. Penny Stock Rules could result in the possible inability to sell your Shares in a secondary market.
Rule 3a5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") defines a "penny stock" as an equity security that is not, among other things: a) a reported security (i.e., listed on certain national securities exchanges); b) a security registered or approved for registration and traded on a national securities exchange that meets certain guidelines, where the trade is effected through the facilities of that national exchange; c) a security listed on NASDAQ; d) a security of an issuer that meets certain minimum financial requirements, i.e., "net tangible assets" in excess of $8,000,000 (if the issuer has been continuously operating for less than three years) or $5,000,000 (if the issuer has been continuously operating for more than three years), or "average revenue" of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years); or e) a security with a price of at least $5.00 per share for the transaction in question or that has a bid quotation (as defined in the Rule) of at least $5.00 per share. Under Rule 3a5-1, our Company's Common Stock offered herein falls within the definition of a "penny stock."

Accordingly, trading in our securities is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 and Section 15(g) under the Exchange Act. Rule 15g-9 imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell non-exempt securities to persons other than established customers. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Pursuant to Section 15(g) and related Rules, brokers and/or dealers, prior to effecting a transaction in a penny stock, will be required to provide investors with written disclosure documents containing information concerning various aspects involved in the market for penny stocks as well as specific information about the penny stock and the transaction involving the purchase and sale of that stock (e.g., price quotes and broker-dealer and associated person compensation). Subsequent to the transaction, the broker will be required to deliver monthly or quarterly statements containing specific information about the penny stock. The foregoing requirements will most likely negatively affect the ability of purchasers herein to sell their shares in the secondary market.

d. We are selling this offering without the services of an Underwriter and may be unable to sell any of the Shares.
This offering is self-underwritten, which means we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the Shares; we intend to sell them through our President and pay no commissions. We intend to hold investment meetings with friends, acquaintances and relatives in an effort to sell the shares to them, using this Prospectus; however, there is no guarantee that we will be able to sell any of the Shares and/or receive any of the proceeds of this offering.

e. You will incur immediate and substantial dilution immediately following this offering.
The existing Stockholder acquired his shares at a price substantially less than that which the investors herein will pay for their Shares. Accordingly, an investment in the Shares of our Company by investors herein will result in the immediate and substantial dilution of the net tangible book value of their Shares.
 
 
f.
Potential future sales pursuant to Rule 144 could have a depressive effect on the price of our Common Stock.
Any future sales of our common stock held by officers, directors and/or principal shareholders could have a depressive effect on the price of our Company’s common stock in any public market which may develop, assuming there is such a market, of which there can be no assurance. Prior to this Offering, 1,000,000 shares of “restricted” Common Stock were issued as consideration for proprietary rights, business plans, organizational services and expenses and cash in the amount of $10,000 or $.001 per share. All of said shares are held by our president who is also a director of our Company and who holds such shares as "restricted securities", as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, these securities may only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 which provides, in essence, that officers and directors and others holding restricted securities (such as those described above) may each sell, in brokerage transactions, an amount equal to 1% of our Company’s total outstanding Common Stock every three (3) months. In addition, Rule 144 provides that shares must not be sold until they have been held for a period of at least one (1) year from the date they were fully paid for. The possible sale of these restricted securities under Rule 144 may, in the future, have a depressive effect on the price of our Company’s Common Stock in any public market which may develop, assuming there is such a market, of which there can be no assurance. Furthermore, persons holding restricted securities for two (2) years who are not "affiliates" of our Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144, may sell their securities pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions and/or limitations on the number of shares sold, assuming there is such a market, of which there can be no assurance.

g. No cash dividends have been or will be paid on our common stock.
No cash dividends have been declared or paid on the shares of our common stock to date, nor is it anticipated that any such dividends will be declared or paid to stockholders in the foreseeable future. It is currently anticipated that any income received from operations will be reinvested and devoted to our future operations and/or to expansion.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The public offering price of the Shares has been determined arbitrarily in order to raise a total of $100,000, which we feel will be required to complete the proposed exploration activities on our properties. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings or other established criteria for valuing a privately-held company.

In determining the number of Shares to be offered and the offering price, our capital structure, financial condition, prospects for business operations, the mining industry in general and the overall condition of the securities market were factors considered. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our securities.


DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR YOUR SHARES

"Dilution" represents the difference between the Offering price and the net tangible book value per Share immediately after completion of this Offering. "Net tangible book value" is the amount that results from subtracting the total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly from our arbitrary decision as to the Offering price per share of the Shares offered hereunder. Dilution of the value of the Shares purchased by the investors in this Offering will also be due to the lower book value of the shares of common stock presently outstanding.
 
As of October 31, 2007, the net tangible book value of our common stock (total assets, excluding intangible assets, less total liabilities, excluding contingent liabilities ($20,514)) was approximately ($0.02) per share based upon 1,000,000 shares outstanding.

Upon completion of this Offering, but without taking into account any change in the net tangible book value after completion of this Offering, other than that resulting from the sale of all the Shares and receipt of the net proceeds of $100,000, less offering expenses of $15,000, the net tangible book value of the 1,200,000 Shares to be outstanding will be approximately $85,2696or approximately $0.05 per Share. Accordingly, the net tangible book value of the Shares held by the existing Stockholder of our Company (i.e. 1,000,000 shares) will be increased to approximately $0.07 per Share, without any additional investment on his part, and the purchasers of Shares in this Offering will incur immediate dilution (a reduction in net tangible book value per Share from the Offering price of $0.50 per Share) of approximately $0.43 or 86% per Share.

After completion of this Offering, purchasers of the Shares in this Offering will own approximately 17% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they will have made a cash investment of $100,000, or $0.50 per Share. The existing Stockholder will own 83% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which he contributed cash in the amount of $10,000 or $0.01 per Share. The initial $10,000 investment was used to acquire the Christmas No 1 Lode Mining Claims and commission the Geological Evaluation Report.
 
The existing Stockholder will not purchase any Shares in this Offering.
 
The following table sets forth a comparison of the respective investments of the existing stockholder and the investors herein, assuming a successful completion of the Offering and sale of all Shares offered herein, of which there can be no assurance.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

General

Sidewinder Explorations Incorporated was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 7, 2006. We were incorporated for the purpose to promote and carry on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent.. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have
not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on the mineral property, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.

We are a relatively new company and, as such, are considered to be a junior mining company. It is common practice in the mining industry for a junior mining company to complete exploration activities on a property to determine if any minerals exist. At such time as mineralization is located, a junior mining company then generally attempts to recruit a major mining company, with ample cash reserves and equipment, to assist in the development of the property. As a junior mining company, we intend to conduct exploration activities on our properties and, if warranted, will seek a major mining company to joint venture in any development and/or production. However, since we are in the early stages of exploration activities at this time, there is no guarantee we will locate any mineralization on our properties or, if mineralization is located in a quantity sufficient to warrant development, there is no guarantee we will be able to recruit a major mining company to join us as a joint venture partner. In the event we are unable to enter into a joint venture agreement with a major mining company to assist in the development of our properties if mineralization is found, as a junior mining company with limited cash reserves, we will likely be required to raise additional monies, either through sales of our equity securities or through loans from financial institutions or third parties, prior to commencement of any development activities on our properties.
 
In January 2007 we purchased the Christmas No. 1 Lode Mining Claim in the Yellow Pine Mining District, Clark County, Nevada. The region is known for its historic production of lead, zinc, silver and gold. The claim covers an area of approximately 20 acres that we believe are prospective for gold and copper mineral deposits.

14


 
We completed a geological report on the property and have determined to proceed with the first phase of our exploration program. The cost of the geological report was $3,000 and the estimated cost to complete the recommended Phase I and II programs will be $19,000 and to complete the Geochemical (MMI) survey portion of Phase III will be $20,000.

Description of our Properties and Mining Claims

In January 2007, we acquired the Christmas No 1 Lode Mining Claim (the "Claim") in the Yellow Pine Mining District in Clark County, Nevada. The Claim covers some former underground exploratory workings on a mineral showing. During World War I, this region was one of the most productive in the Western USA for Lead and Zinc production. The Claim is indicated to be underlain by the Yellow Pine Limestone Member of the Monte Cristo Limestone Foundation.

The property consists of one claim comprised of twenty (20) acres recorded as the Christmas No 1 Lode Claim. It is located within the Section 34 Range 58E, Township 25S at the easternmost portion of the Yellow Pine Mining District of Clark County, Nevada. It is situated at the southern end of the Sheep Mountain Range and covers the northeasterly and Southwesterly facing slopes of a northerly trending ridge. The topography is gentle, ranging from a mid wash at 1000 to 1250 feet at the southwest and northeast corners of the Christmas No 1 Lode Claim. The area is of a typical desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low precipitation.

In June 2007, we commissioned a geological evaluation report of the claim which recommended a multi phase approach to develop the property. Phase I comprises of prospecting, trenching and sampling over known mineralization zones with follow phases including underground mapping & sampling, VLF-EM & magnetometer surveys, Geochemical (MMI) survey and Test diamond drilling of prime targets.

The following information was extracted from our Geological Evaluation Report commissioned in June, 2007.

PHYSIOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, VEGETATION & WATER: 

The Christmas No 1 Lode Claim is situated at the southern end of the Sheep Mountain Range, a north-south trending range of mountains with peaks reaching an elevation of 4,184 feet. The claim covers the northeasterly and the southwesterly facing slopes of a northerly trending ridge. The topography is gentle, ranging from a mid wash at 1,000 feet to 1,250 feet at the southwest and northeast corners of the Christmas No 1 Lode Claim.

The area is of a typically desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of desert shrubs and cactus. Sources of water would be available from valley wells.

HISTORY:

The history of the Yellow Pine Mining District stems from 1856 when Mormon missionaries reported ore in the area. In 1857 the smelting of ore produced 9,000 pounds of lead and in 1898 a mill was built south of Goodsprings.
As a result of the mill availability, exploration activity led to the discovery of many of the mines in the area.

The completion of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad in 1905 and recognition of oxidized zinc minerals in the ore in 1906 stimulated development of the mines and the region has been subject to intermittent activity up to 1964, particularly during the World War I and II years.

Production from the mines of the Yellow Pine Mining District from 1902 to 1929 was 477,717 tons. Bullion recovery from 7,656 tons of this ore by amalgamation and cyanidation was 9,497 ounces of gold and 2,445 ounces of silver. The concentrator treated 230,452 tons of ore which yielded 58,641 tons of lead-zinc concentrate and 32,742 tons of lead concentrate. Crude ore shipped to 1929 was 227,952 tons from which recovery amounted to 3,196 ounces gold, 422,379 ounces silver, 3,085,675 pounds copper, 34,655,460 pounds lead and 110,833,051 pounds zinc.

Although the mines of this district have been worked primarily for their lead-zinc-silver values, an estimated 91,000 ounces of gold has been recovered as a by-product of copper-lead-silver mining.

The history of the Christmas No 1 mine workings is not known. However, the underground workings and the localized exploration pits exploring zinc/lead mineralization were probably excavated during the period of mid to late 1800’s after Goodsprings concentrator was in operation and much exploration activity ensued a very convenient market for ore.

15



Exact production from the Christmas mine is not recorded, however, recorded production from the Christmas Mine and including production from the Silver Gem and Eureka mines from 1911-1922 is reported as 532,505 lb lead, 449,886 lb zinc, 16,635 oz silver, 2 oz gold, and 195 lb copper. 

REGIONAL GEOLOGY:

In the Yellow Pine Mining District, the Spring Mountain Range in the west, and the Sheep Mountain Range in the east consist mainly of Paleozoic sediments which have undergone intense folding accompanied by faulting. A series of Carboniferous sediments consist largely of siliceous limestones and include strata of pure crystalline limestone and dolomite with occasional intercalated beds of fine grained sandstone. These strata have a general west to southwest dip of from 15 to 45 degrees which is occasionally disturbed by local folds. Igneous rocks are scarce and are represented chiefly by quartz-monzonite porphyry dikes and sills. The quartz-monzonite porphyry is intruded into these strata and is of post-Jurassic age, perhaps Tertiary.
 
PROPERTY GEOLOGY:
 
The Christmas Lode No 1 Mining Claim is indicated to be underlain by the Yellow pine Limestone Member of the Monte Cristo Limestone Formation.

REGIONAL MINERALIZATION:
 
Ore Mineralogy and Alteration
It is reported (Albritton, 1954) that ore deposits in the Goodsprings (Yellow Pine) district can at best be characterized as enigmatic. They appear to fall into two distinct types, which may or may not be related, gold-copper deposits and lead-zinc deposits. Gold-copper deposits are clearly related to sill-like masses of granite porphyry. All existing mines worked the contact between the intrusive and surrounding sedimentary rocks. Gold occurred in both the intrusive and the carbonate wall rocks. It appears any carbonate unit was a suitable host.

Mineralogy of gold-copper deposits consists of native gold (often visible!), pyrite, limonite, cinnabar, malachite, azurite and chrysocolla. Lead-zinc deposits are comprised of hydrozincite, calamine, smithsonite, cerrusite, anglesite, galena and iron oxides. The rather unusual mineralogy of the district is due to the great depth of surface oxidation, exceeding 600 feet.

Typical sulfides such as chalcopyrite, sphalerite and pyrite have been partially or completely altered to more stable hydrated carbonates and sulfates. Only the highly insoluble lead sulfide, galena has successfully resisted surface oxidation.

Primary alteration is difficult to characterize due to the supergene overprint, but again appears to differ for gold

16


copper deposits and lead-zinc deposits. Gold-copper ores have been extensively sericitized and kaolinized, altering the host pluton to a rock that can be mined through simple excavation with little or no blasting. The rock is so thoroughly altered it decrepitates on exposure to the atmosphere. On the other hand, lead-zinc deposits appear to be characterized by dolomitization and minor silicification.

PROPERTY MINERALIZATION:

The favorable host rock for the mineralization on the Christmas No 1 Lode Mining Claim is reported to be a dolomitized breccia near the base of the Yellow Pine Limestone Member. The mineralization is of hydrozincite, calamine, and galena in addition to its oxidation products

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
 
The Christmas Lode No 1 Mining Claim incorporates some exploratory workings on mineral zones hosting “ore-grade” mineralization of sufficient economic values to be shipped to a smelter in the early 1900’s. As the nature of the mineralization nor the controlling structures to the mineralization are not known, and as the Yellow Pine district has a history of significant zinc production from within veins or replacements of brecciated rocks along fault zones. With the significant increase in the current prices of lad and zinc, the mineralized zones on the Christmas No 1 Lode Mining Claim should be explored for potentially economical mineral zones.

The geological evaluation report recommended that prospecting, trenching and sampling be completed over the known mineral zone to determine geological controls to the mineralization and to determine the nature of the mineralization. As a follow-up to the initial investigation of the mineralized structure, a VLF-EM survey and soil sampling is recommended to be completed along the determined extensions of the known mineral zones, underground mapping and sampling, in addition to VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys should be completed. As a third phase to the exploration program, geochemical soil (MMI) surveys should be completed to locate prime targets to test for sub-surface mineralization by diamond drilling.

Our Proposed Exploration Program:

As recommended by the geological report, Phase I exploration, comprising of prospecting, trenching and sampling over the known mineralized zones, is required to further determine the feasibility of the site for development. As each Phase is completed, the results will be analyzed and a decision whether or not to proceed to the next Phase will be made.

The exploration program on The Christmas No1 Lode Claim has been designed to economically explore and evaluate the Claim which, in our opinion, may merit development.

We do not claim to have any mineralization or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of our properties; however, based on preliminary research and geological report on our property and the surrounding area, we believe there is a sufficient basis to warrant further exploration of the property.

The following table summarizes the recommended exploration program and estimated costs:

Phase I
Prospecting, trenching and sampling over known mineralizing zones                                $ 6,500

Phase II
VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys, and
underground mapping and sampling                                                                                       $12,500

Phase III
Geochemical (MM) Survey  $20,000
Test diamond drilling of the prime targets                                                                               $80,000

Total Estimated Exploration Costs                                                                                                      $119,000

Environmental Regulations 

Environmental laws and regulations relating to public lands are expected to be tightly enforced. We intend to explore and, when required, develop all of our properties in strict compliance with all environmental requirements applicable to the mineral processing and mining industry. We will secure all the necessary permits for exploration and, if development is warranted, will file final Plans of Operation prior to the commencement of any mining operations. We anticipate no discharge of water into any active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No significant endangered species will be disturbed. Re-contouring and re-vegetation of disturbed surface areas will be completed pursuant to all legal requirements. Any portals, adits or shafts will be sealed should the property be abandoned.

It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with environmental laws at this time, since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we receive the proceeds of this Offering and commence our operations. At that time, we will determine what that will involve from an environmental standpoint and will begin our compliance efforts.

Government Regulations

We will be subject to all the laws, rules and regulations which govern the mineral processing and mining industry in the State of Nevada and intend to fully comply with all environmental, health and safety laws, rules, regulations and statutes.

Specifically, the proposed exploration of the property will be governed by the State of Nevada Mining laws, rules and regulations. We will determine and comply with all rules and regulations governing operations prior to commencement of any exploration activities subject to permitting and/or licensing.

Competition

The mining industry is highly fragmented and competitive. We are competing with many other exploration companies looking for gold and other minerals. Our Company is among the smallest exploration companies in existence and is an infinitely small participant in the exploration business, which is the foundation of the mining industry. While we generally compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from its current claims or properties. Readily available commodities markets exist around the world for the sale of minerals. Therefore, if we discover mineralization on our properties, we would likely be able to sell the minerals in the market.
 
Employees and Employment Agreements

At present, we have no employees. Our President is also the Secretary and Treasurer and Director. He devotes his time as required to our business operations. The President is not presently compensated for his services and does not have an employment agreement with us. We intend to retain independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on the mineral property in order to carry our plan of operations. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any officers, directors or employees.

Plan of Operation

Assuming sale of all the Shares in this offering and receipt of all the proceeds, of which there is no guarantee, we estimate that we will use most of the funds received during the next 12 months to complete Phase I and Phase II and begin Phase III of our exploration program. We intend to subcontract these programs to companies with the crews and equipment to prospect, trench and collect mineral samples on our property. All samples will then be sent to an assay lab for analysis and a geological report will be prepared.
 

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is little to no historical financial information about our Company upon which to base an evaluation of our performance or to make a decision regarding an investment in the Shares. We are still in the organizational stages and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations or will achieve significant levels of market acceptance for our proposed business. Our business could be subject to any or all of the problems, expenses, delays and risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration and/or development of our properties, possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services we require and the absence of an operating history. Therefore, we cannot guarantee we will be able to achieve or maintain profitable operations. Further, there is no assurance that we will not encounter unforeseen difficulties that may deplete our capital resources more rapidly than anticipated.

Upon successful completion of this offering, we intend to pursue our exploration activities to determine if viable mineralization exists on our property that warrants further exploration or development. Until we commence exploration activities on our property, we estimate our monthly expenses will be minimal, (less than $1,500 per month) and these monies will be used only in background data research efforts on our property and the surrounding claims and to ensure that we comply will all regulatory requirement to maintain our mineral claim.

Once we have established that our property warrants further exploration or development, we will likely be required to make significant investments into further exploration (Phases I, II & III) before we would be able to commence production of any minerals we may find. At that time, our Management will need to asses the merits of seeking additional financing to provide the capital we will require to implement additional exploration programs or seek a joint venture partner in the mining industry with experience, cash reserves and equipment to undertake any additional exploration that may be required before mine development can be considered.
The timing and total amount of capital requirements cannot be predicted at this time and we have no assurance that any financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, as and when we need it, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, as and when needed, we may be unable to continue our exploration activities or expand our operations and our operating results may be adversely affected. Equity financing could also result in additional dilution to then existing shareholders.

We do not plan to purchase any significant equipment in the next 12 months.

Results of Operations Since Inception

We are an exploration stage company and have not generated or realized any revenues since inception.

For the period from the date of inception on December 7, 2006, we have incurred a net loss of $50,514, all consisting of operating costs and expenses. To date, we have spent $6,000 on acquisition of our mineral claims; $3,000 in exploration and development costs; $5,000 in consulting fees; $14,211 in legal and accounting fees; $20,000 in management fees and rent, contributed by our President/Director, $2,303 in general administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the date of this registration statement, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations due to the preliminary nature of our operations, ongoing investment in exploration efforts, and expenditures incurred to build the appropriate infrastructure to support our proposed operations. Consequently, we have been substantially dependent on private placement sales of our equity securities.

Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise $10,000 in cash by issuing 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to our President at $0.01 per share in January 2007.

19



During the coming year, we expect to incur additional costs for exploration of our properties and for subcontractors, professional and legal fees. Significant additional funding will be required to meet any additional operating and/or expansion requirements.

We are taking steps to raise equity capital; however, we cannot guarantee that any new capital will be available to us or that adequate funds for operations, whether from our revenues, financial markets, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners or from other sources, will be available as or when needed, or on terms satisfactory to us. Our failure to obtain adequate additional financing may require us to delay, curtail or scale back some or all of our exploration programs, and, potentially, to cease our operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then-existing shareholders.

Restricted Shares Eligible for Future Sale

All 1,000,000 of the currently issued and outstanding shares of common stock are "restricted securities" which, in the future, may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available. Rule 144 currently provides, in essence, that persons holding restricted securities for a period of one (1) year may each sell, every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate number of our Company's outstanding shares, and after one (1) year, persons other than "affiliates" of our Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144, may sell shares without any volume restrictions.
 
Sales of shares held by the existing stockholder (after applicable restrictions expire) and/or the sale of Shares purchased in this Offering (which would be immediately resalable after the offering), may have a depressive effect on the price of our securities in any market that may develop, of which there can be no assurance.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following statements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of our Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which will be furnished to an investor upon written request.
 
Common Stock 

Our Company is presently authorized to issue 175,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001. As of the date of this prospectus, there are a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. We are offering a total of 200,000 shares of our common stock for sale pursuant to the terms of this offering. We have reserved from our authorized but unissued shares a sufficient number of shares of common stock for issuance of the Shares offered hereby, if sold. The Shares of common stock issuable upon completion of the offering will be, when issued in accordance with the terms of this offering, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

21

 
The holders of common stock, including the Shares offered hereby, are entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share, with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefor. No holder of any shares of common stock has a pre-emptive right to subscribe for any securities of our Company nor is any shares of common stock subject to redemption or convertible into other securities of our Company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, and after payment of creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, any assets of ours would be divided pro-rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of common stock. All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid, validity issued and non-assessable. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of any director or any other matter upon which shareholders are required or permitted to vote.
 
Preferred Stock 

Our Company is presently authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001. As of the date of this prospectus, there are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

The holders of preferred stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share, with respect to the preferred stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore. No holder of any shares of preferred stock has a pre-emptive right to subscribe for any securities of our Company nor is any shares of preferred stock subject to redemption or convertible into other securities of our Company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, and after payment of creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, any assets of ours would be divided pro-rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of common stock. Each share of preferred stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of any director or any other matter upon which shareholders are required or permitted to vote.

Non-cumulative Voting

Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, assuming all Shares are sold, which we can't guarantee, the present stockholder will own 83% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

Annual Reports 

We intend to furnish annual reports to shareholders which will contain audited financial statements examined by independent certified public accountants and such other interim reports as we may deem necessary to keep the public informed of our business operations.

Dividend Policy 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

Stock Transfer Agent 

We have appointed Transfer Online, 317 S.W. Alder Street, 2nd Floor, Portland, Oregon 97204; telephone (503) 227-2940, as the stock transfer agent for our securities.


CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

We maintain our current office at the office of our President at no charge to us; our mailing address is 13/7 Moo 6, Kamala-Patong Hwy, Kamala, Phuket, Thailand, 83120.

Since inception, our sole officer and director has made contributions to capital for management fees in the amount of $15,000 for services provided and rent in the amount of $5,000.

22




CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Other than as described herein, we do not expected to have significant further dealings with affiliates. However, if any such dealings arise, the parties will attempt to settle any such conflict of interest on terms competitive in the market and on the same terms that either party would deal with a third person. Presently, our sole officer and director has no transactions which he contemplates entering into with our Company, aside from the matters described herein.

Management will attempt to resolve any conflicts of interest that may arise in favor of our Company, as failure to do so could result in fiduciary liability to our Management.

The General Corporation Law of Nevada limits liability of officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty to certain specified circumstances, and also empowers us to indemnify our officers, directors, employees and others from liability in certain circumstances such as when the person successfully defends himself on the merits or acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company.

Our Articles of Incorporation, with certain exceptions, eliminate any personal liability of an officer or director for monetary damages for the breach of a director’s fiduciary duty, meaning a director cannot be held personally liable for damages to our Company or its shareholders for gross negligence or lack of due care in carrying out his fiduciary duties as a director, except in certain specified instances. We have also adopted bylaws which provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the State of Nevada, which includes all liability, damages and costs or expenses arising from or in connections with service for, employment by, or other affiliation with our Company, to the maximum extent and under all circumstances permitted by law.

Insofar as indemnification, for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions 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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Eng., of Sookochoff Consultants Incorporated, and unrelated third party, and is included in reliance on such report given upon the authority of Mr. Sookochoff as a professional Geologist and Mining Engineer.

LEGAL MATTERS
Independent Counsel
Certain legal matters with respect to the sale and issuance of the Shares described in this prospectus have been passed upon by our Company’s legal counsel, Michael M. Kessler, Esq., 3426 American River Drive, Suite 11, Sacramento, California 95864. 

Legal Proceedings

We currently are not party to any material legal proceedings and, to the best of our knowledge, there is no material litigation pending or threatened against us.

23


Disclosure of SEC Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes, our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws.

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, 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.


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our fiscal year end is October 31. The audited financial statements for the period from inception to October 31, 2007 immediately follow. This financial statement were prepared by Management and audited by James Stafford, Chartered Accountants of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, an independent certified public accountant.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Sidewinder Exploration Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the balance sheet of Sidewinder Exploration Inc. as at 31 October 2007 and the related statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the period from the date of inception on 7 December 2006 through 31 October 2007. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 31 October 2007 and the results of its operations, its cash flows and its changes in stockholders’ equity for the period from the date of inception on 7 December 2006 to 31 October 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Sidewinder Explorations Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2007
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)


Nature and Continuance of Operations
 
Sidewinder Explorations Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on 7 December 2006. The Company was incorporated for the purpose to promote and carry on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.
 
The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principle operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.
 
The Company’s financial statements as at 31 October 2007 and for the period from inception on 7 December 2006 to the year ended 31 October 2007 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a loss of $50,514 for the period from inception on 7 December 2006 to the year ended 31 October 2007. At 31 October 2007 the Company had a working capital deficit $20,514.
 
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that after raising addition capital by completing a private placement of its common shares that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy during the fiscal year ending 31 October 2008. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favourable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
At 31 October 2007, the Company had suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. Accordingly, the Company must rely on its president to perform essential functions without compensation until a business operation can be commenced. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Significant Accounting Policies

 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.
 
Basis of presentation
 
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to development stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is 31 October.
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
Mineral property costs
 
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on 7 December 2006 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 acquisition and exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs 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.
 
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

 
Reclamation costs
 
The Company’s policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land by recording charges to production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine. The amount charged is based on management’s estimation of reclamation costs to be incurred. The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation expenditures are made. Certain reclamation work is performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures are charged to operations at that time.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)


Long-lived assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstance that may suggest impairment. The Company recognized an impairment when the sum if the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
 
 
Financial instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises 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.
 
 
Derivative financial instruments

The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
 
Income taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
 
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share
 
The Company computes net 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 loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive 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 potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

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 31 October 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.
 

 
Segments of an enterprise and related information
 
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, supersedes SFAS No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise. SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this SFAS and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
 

 
Start-up expenses
 
The Company has adopted Statement of Position No. 98-5, Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred.  Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company's formation have been included in the Company's general and administrative expenses for the period from the date of inception on 7 December 2006 to 31 October 2007.
 

 
Foreign currency translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is in U.S. dollar. The financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with 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. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 

    Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
 
In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107 to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123R. The Company will consider SAB No. 107 during implementation of SFAS No. 123R.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after 15 June 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after 15 December 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.

The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes to 31 October 2007. There are no current or deferred tax expenses for the year ended 31 October 2007 due to the Company’s loss position. The Company has fully reserved for any benefits of these losses. The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized, as appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes.

The provision for refundable federal income tax consists of the following:

           
For the period from inception on 7 December 2006 to the year ended 31 October 2007

(10,915)
             
Net refundable amount

The composition of the Company’s deferred tax assets as at 31 October 2007 are as follows:

The potential income tax benefit of these losses has been offset by a full valuation allowance.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS

I. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;

(iii) To include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution; and

(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 therein, 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 which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the purchasers in this offering certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant 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 by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

 
(1)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 
(2)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.

(b)  
If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders: (i) entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and (iii) for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
 
1.07  
Quorum; Adjourned Meetings. 
 
(a)  
Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the corporation's capital stock, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. If, on any issue, voting by classes is required by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at least a majority of the voting power within each such class is necessary to constitute a quorum of each such class.

(b)  
If a quorum is not represented, a majority of the voting power so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted as originally called. When a stockholders' meeting is adjourned to another time or place hereunder, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum of the voting power.
 
1.08  
Voting; Manner of Acting. 
 
(a)  
Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, or in the resolution providing for the issuance of the preferred stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder of record, or such stockholder's duly authorized proxy or attorney-in-fact, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of voting stock standing registered in such stockholder's name on the record date.

(b)  
Except as otherwise provided herein, all votes with respect to shares standing in the name of an individual on the record date (including pledged shares) shall be cast only by that individual or such individual's duly authorized proxy, attorney-in-fact, or voting trustee(s) pursuant to a voting trust. With respect to shares held by a representative of the estate of a deceased stockholder, guardian, conservator, custodian or trustee, votes may be cast by such holder upon proof of such representative capacity, even though the shares do not stand in the name of such holder. In the case of shares under the control of a receiver, the receiver may cast votes carried by such shares even though the shares do not stand in the name of the receiver; provided, that the order of a court of competent jurisdiction which appoints the receiver contains the authority to cast votes carried by such shares. If shares stand in the name of a minor, votes may be cast only by the duly appointed guardian of the estate of such minor if such guardian has provided the corporation with written proof of such appointment.
 
 
2


 
(c)  
With respect to shares standing in the name of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity on the record date, votes may be cast: (i) in the case of a corporation, by such individual as the bylaws of such other corporation prescribe, by such individual as may be appointed by resolution of the board of directors of such other corporation or by such individual (including the officer making the authorization) authorized in writing to do so by the chairman of the board, if any, president or any vice president of such corporation and (ii) in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity, by an individual representing such stockholder upon presentation to the corporation of satisfactory evidence of his or her authority to do so.

(d)  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares. If shares in the Corporation are held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity, no votes shall be cast with respect thereto on any matter except to the extent that the beneficial owner thereof possesses and exercises a right to vote and gives the Corporation binding instructions on how to vote.

(e)  
Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may cast a portion of the votes in favor of such matter and refrain from casting the remaining votes or cast the same against the proposal, except in the case of elections of directors. If such holder entitled to vote votes any of its shares affirmatively and fails to specify the number of affirmative votes, it will be conclusively presumed that the holder is casting affirmative votes with respect to all shares held.

(f)  
With respect to shares standing in the name of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees, persons entitled to vote under a stockholder voting agreement or otherwise and shares held by two or more persons (including proxy holders) having the same fiduciary relationship in respect to the same shares, votes may be cast in the following manner:

(i)  
If only one person votes, the vote of such person binds all.

(ii)  
If more than one person casts votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all.

(iii)  
If more than one person casts votes, but the vote is evenly split on a particular matter, the votes shall be deemed cast proportionately, as split.

(g)  
If a quorum is present, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, action by the stockholders entitled to vote on a matter other than the election of directors, is approved by and is the act of the stockholders, if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, unless voting by classes is required for any action of the stockholders by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in which case the number of votes cast in favor of the action by the voting power of each such class must exceed the number of votes cast in opposition to the action by the voting power of each such class.

(h)  
If a quorum is present, unless elected by written consent pursuant to these Bylaws and Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.
 
1.09  
Proxies. 
 
At any meeting of stockholders, any holder of shares entitled to vote may designate, in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, another person or persons to act as a proxy or proxies. Every proxy shall continue in full force and effect until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
 
1.10  
Telephonic Meetings. 
 
Stockholders may participate in a meeting of the stockholders by means of a telephone conference or similar method of communication by which all individuals participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 1.10 constitutes presence in person at the meeting.
 
1.11  
Action Without Meeting. 
 
Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by the holders of the voting power of the corporation that would be required at a meeting to constitute the act of the stockholders. Whenever action is taken by written consent, a meeting of stockholders need not be called or notice given. The written consent may be signed in counterparts, including, without limitation, facsimile counterparts, and shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the stockholders.
 
1.12  
Organization; Order of Business. 
 
Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the board, or in the absence of the chairman by the president, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by the Board of Directors by a chairman chosen at the meeting by the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all stockholders present in person or by proxy are entitled to cast. The secretary, or in the absence of the secretary an assistant secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, limitation on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the corporation, restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof and the opening and closing of the voting polls.

7  ARTICLE VII INDEMNIFICATION 
 
 
7.01  
Indemnification and Insurance. 
 
(a)  
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
(i)  
For purposes of this Article, (A) "Indemnitee" shall mean each director or officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, managing member, manager or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise; and (B) "Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.

(ii)  
Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding; provided that such Indemnitee either is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any Proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal proceeding he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee for any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for any amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts as the court deems proper. Except as so ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of an Indmenitee if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action.
 
(iii)  
Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.
 
(iv)  
The expenses of directors and officers incurred in defending a Proceeding involving alleged acts or omissions of such director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation or while serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, managing member, manager or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, must be paid by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in by him or her in connection with the defense.
 
(b)  
Indemnification of Employees and Other Persons. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees.

(c)  
Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification provided in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise.

(d)  
Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or member or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability company, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, member, managing member or agent of another Corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.

(e)  
Other Financial Arrangements. The other financial arrangements which may be made by the Corporation may include the following (i) the creation of a trust fund; (ii) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; (iii) the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the Corporation; (iv) the establishment of a letter of credit, guarantee or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

(f)  
Other Matters Relating to Insurance or Financial Arrangements. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this Section may be provided by the Corporation or any other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person's stock or other securities is owned by the Corporation. In the absence of fraud (i) the decision of the Board of Directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (ii) the insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable and does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action; even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws (including, without limitation, Article VIII below), no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all of this Article VII so as to limit or reduce the indemnification in any manner unless adopted by (a) the unanimous vote of the directors of the Corporation then serving, or (b) by the stockholders as set forth in Article VIII hereof; provided that no such amendment shall have a retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentence.


 
8  ARTICLE VIII AMENDMENT OR REPEAL 
 
 
8.01  
Amendment or Repeal. 
 
Except as otherwise restricted in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws:
(a)

(b)  
These Bylaws may also be altered, amended, or repealed at a duly convened meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation entitled to vote. The stockholders may provide by resolution that any Bylaw provision altered, amended or repealed by them, or any Bylaw provision adopted by them, may not be altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.

Changes in Nevada Law. 
 
References in these Bylaws to Nevada law or the Nevada Revised Statutes or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date these Bylaws were adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (a) in the case of any change which expands the liability of directors or officers or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the corporation may provide in Article VII hereof, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in the corporation's Articles of Incorporation and/or these Bylaws shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits the corporation, without the requirement of any further action by stockholders or directors, to limit further the liability of directors or officers or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.

EX-5 4 legalopinion.htm OPINION AND CONSENT OF LEGAL COUNSEL Opinion of Legal Counsel
LAW OFFICE OF MICHAEL M. KESSLER, P.C.
 
 

December 9, 2007

Mr. Ross Harbottle, President /Director
Sidewinder Explorations, Inc.
13/7 Moo 6, Kamala-Patong Hwy
Kamala, Phuket,
Thailand, 83120    

RE: Opinion of Counsel for Registration Statement on Form SB-2 Under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registration Statement") of Sidewinder Explorations, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
 

Dear Mr. Harbottle:

The Law Office of Michael M. Kessler, P.C, (the “Firm”). has acted as special counsel for Sidewinder Explorations, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) for the limited purpose of rendering this opinion in connection with the registration (pursuant to the Registration Statement) of 200,000 shares (the "Shares") of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, which are the underlying shares for the offering.

In the Firm’s capacity as special counsel to the Company, the Firm has examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to its satisfaction, of the following documents:

      1.   Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (if any) to date;
      2.   Bylaws of the Company, as amended (if any) to date;
3.   The records of corporate proceedings relating to the issuance of the Shares and authorizing the offering.
4.   Such other instruments and documents, if any, as I have believed necessary for the purpose of rendering the following opinion.

In such examinations, the Firm has assumed the authenticity and completeness of all documents, certificates and records submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original instruments of all documents, certificates and records submitted to the Firm as copies, and the authenticity and completeness of the originals of such instruments.  As to certain matters of fact relating to this opinion, the Firm has relied on the accuracy and truthfulness of certificates of officers of the Company and on certificates of public officials, and has made such investigations of law as the Firm believes to have been necessary and relevant.

The Firm does not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada (the "NVCL"), all applicable provisions of the State of Nevada Constitution and all reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, as well as U.S. federal securities law. No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the qualification of the Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of any other state or any foreign jurisdiction. This opinion is limited to the laws, including the rules and regulations thereunder, as in effect on the date hereof. Based on the following the Firm is of the following opinion:

1. The Company is a duly and legally organized and existing Nevada State Corporation, with its registered Nevada office located in Carson City, Nevada and its principal place of business located at 13/7 Moo 6, Kamala-Patong Hwy., Kamala, Phuket, Thailand, 83120. The Articles of Incorporation and corporate registration fees were submitted to the Nevada Secretary of State's office and filed with the office on November 30, 2006. The Company's existence and form is valid and legal pursuant to the statutes of the State of Nevada. The Office of the Secretary of State of Nevada states that its status is “ACTIVE” based on the Firm’s personal review of the records made available to it and inquiry with the Secretary of State of Nevada through its web site.

2. The Company has one class of Common Stock at this time. Neither the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, nor any amendments thereto, nor any subsequent resolutions may change the non-assessable characteristics of the Company's common shares of stock. The Common Stock previously issued by the Company is in legal form and in compliance with the laws of the State of Nevada, and when such stock was issued it was fully paid for and non-assessable. The common stock to be sold under this Form SB-2 Registration Statement is also legal under the laws of the State of Nevada.

3. To the Firm’s knowledge based on representations to it by the Company, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings nor are there any judgments against the Company, nor are there any actions or suits filed or threatened against it or its officers and directors, in their capacities as such, other than as set forth in the registration statement. The Firm knows of no disputes involving the Company and the Company has no claim, actions or inquires from any federal, state or other government agency, other than as set forth in the registration statement. The Firm knows of no claims against the Company or any reputed claims against it at this time, other than as set forth in the registration statement.

4. The Company's outstanding shares are all common shares. There is no liquidation preference right held by the present Shareholder upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company.

5. By directors’ resolution, the Company has authorized the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for this offering. The Company's Articles of Incorporation presently set the authorized capital stock of the Company at 200,000,000 shares all are designated as Common Stock, with a $0.001 par value.


Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the shares being offered for sale and issuable by the Company pursuant to this Registration Statement will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable when issued as contemplated by the registration statement.

I do hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form SB-2 Registration Statement and to the references to this firm in the registration statement. In giving this consent, I do not hereby admit that I was acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

Yours truly,

/s/ Michael M. Kessler
