INTRODUCTION

Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. (sometimes referred to herein as the “Company” or “we” or “us”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 7, 2005. We are an exploration stage company that acquires, explores and develops natural resource properties. The Company's principal business office and registered office is located at 3045 Southcreek Road, Unit 11 Mississauga, Ontario L4X 2E9. The Company is registered as an extraprovincial corporation in British Columbia and Ontario. Our common shares trade on the Canadian Trading and Quotation System Inc. (the “CNQ”) stock exchange under the symbol “HiHo” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “H9T”. Currently, no public market exists for our shares in the United States, however, we intend to make an application to include our shares for quotation on the “over-the-counter” (“OTC”) Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
 
We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada. We have an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in the “Carmi Property” which consists of five contiguous mineral exploration claims located in the Greenwood Mining Division of British Columbia. We also have an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Silver Tip Property which consists of two claims encompassing approximately 2,250 acres in the Slocan/Nelson Mining Division in British Columbia, Canada. We also have an option to acquire a 51% interest in the South Rim Project which consists of twelve mineral claims in the Coles Lake area of British Columbia. See Item 4 - “Information About the Company”. Our objective is to explore and develop those claims, if economically feasible. No known bodies of commercial ore or economic deposits have been established on any of our claims and further exploration is required before a final evaluation as to economic feasibility can be determined. We have no source of revenues. Our ability to explore and potentially develop our mineral assets will depend upon our ability to attract investment or otherwise finance our activities.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

In this Registration Statement, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars ("CDN$" or "$"). The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (US$). As of February 2, 2007 the currency exchange rate was approximately US$1.00 equals CDN$1.1855. As of the Company’s quarter ended October 31, 2006, the currency exchange rate was approximately US $1.00 equals CDN $1.13. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) and conform in all material respects with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) except as noted. The principal difference between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP affecting the Company’s financial statements is that pursuant to Canadian GAAP mineral property acquisition and exploration costs may be deferred and amortized to the extent they meet certain criteria. Under US GAAP, such costs relating to unproved properties are expensed as they are incurred. A reconciliation of the impact of the difference between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP is provided in the Company’s financial statements in Note 11 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2006 and in Note 10 to the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the three-month period ended October 31, 2006.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Registration Statement includes forward-looking statements, principally in Item 4 - “Information About the Company” and Item 5 - “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, among other things, the factors discussed in this registration statement under Item 3 - “Key Information - RISK FACTORS” and factors described in documents that we may furnish from time to time to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The words "believe", "may", "will", "estimate", "continue", "anticipate", "intend", "expect", and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking information, events and circumstances discussed in this registration statement might not occur. Our actual results and performance could differ substantially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events or otherwise.

A preliminary resource has been outlined on our Carmi property, however, we have no known body of commercial ore.  The reader is cautioned that a preliminary resource is a mere estimate that is not in compliance with the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and is not considered a “reserve” as that term is used in the mining industry. A preliminary resource must be further defined and the Company must undertake a feasibility study of the results (if a feasibility study is warranted) before we will know whether an economically viable resource exists at any of our properties.

3. C Reasons For The Offer and Use of Proceeds

No offer of securities is made by this registration statement. No disclosure is necessary.

RISK FACTORS

The securities of the Company shall be considered highly speculative and investors should carefully consider all of the information disclosed in this registration statement prior to making an investment in our securities. In addition to the other information presented in this Registration Statement, the following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of our securities.

1. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ANY VIABLE RESOURCE WILL BE FOUND.

Our claims in the Carmi Property, the Silver Tip Property and the South Rim Project in British Columbia, Canada are in an exploration stage only. We have no known body of commercial ore. Development of our Properties will only follow if exploration results, followed by a feasibility study, warrant development. Our options to acquire the Properties are our only material assets and if initial exploration results are not encouraging, the Company may need to acquire another mineral exploration property or properties. Exploration and development of natural resources involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. There is no assurance that the Company’s exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercially viable bodies of ore. Moreover, if our exploration programs do not yield favorable results, we may be unable to finance further exploration activities and you could lose your entire investment.
 
12

 
2. RISKS INHERENT TO THE EXPLORATION INDUSTRY

Exploration for natural resources involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to persons or property and possible environmental damage. Although the Company has or will obtain liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable against, or the Company might not elect to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition.

3. THE VOLATILITY OF THE COMMODITIES MARKET

The Company’s revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of base and precious metals such as molybdenum. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of the Company’s exploration projects, cannot accurately be predicted.

4. WE HAVE NO SOURCE OF OPERATING REVENUE AND EXPECT TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES BEFORE ESTABLISHING AN OPERATING COMPANY, IF WE ARE ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN OPERATING COMPANY AT ALL.

Currently, we have no source of revenue, we do not have sufficient working capital to complete our exploration programs (including feasibility studies) and we do not have any commitments to obtain additional financing. Further, we do not have enough working capital to meet all of our contractual commitments to acquire our mineral properties. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

 
l
further exploration of our mineral assets and the results of that exploration;

 
l
our ability to raise the capital necessary to conduct this exploration and preserve our interest in these mineral claims; and

 
l
our ability to raise capital to develop the property, establish a mining operation, and operate this mine in a profitable manner.

Because we have no operating revenue, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we continue to expend funds to explore and develop our properties. Failure to raise the necessary capital to continue exploration and development could cause us to go out of business.

5. WE MUST MAKE REGULAR INVESTMENTS IN OUR PROPERTIES TO MAINTAIN OUR INTEREST

Pursuant to the option agreement covering the Carmi Property, the option agreement covering the Silver Tip Property, and the option agreement covering the South Rim Project, we are required to make future investments to maintain and expand our interests. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to make such investments, we may lose all or a portion of our rights in these Properties.
 
13


6. OUR STOCK PRICE WILL BE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE RESULTS OF EXPLORATION.

We cannot predict the results of the exploration that is being conducted. The results of these activities will heavily influence our decisions on further exploration at our Properties and are likely to affect the trading price of our stock.

7. IF WE DEVELOP MINERAL RESOURCES, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT PRODUCTION WILL BE PROFITABLE.

Even if we find commercial mineral resources, there is no assurance that we will be able to mine them or that a mining operation would be profitable. No feasibility studies have been conducted as of the date of this registration statement.

8. GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION

The Company has included a “going concern” qualification in the Financial Statements to the effect that we are an exploration stage company and have no established sources of revenue or proven mineral properties. In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital and/or locate ore resources, as to which in each case there can be no assurance, we may not be able to continue our operations. In addition, the existence of the “going concern” qualification in our auditor’s report may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, you may lose all or part of your investment.

9. THERE ARE PENNY STOCK SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS THAT COULD LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES.

Our common stock is considered a "penny stock" and the sale of our stock by you will be subject to the "penny stock rules" of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to take steps before making any penny stock trades in customer accounts. As a result, our shares could be illiquid and there could be delays in the trading of our stock which would negatively affect your ability to sell your shares and could negatively affect the trading price of your shares.

10. OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO CURRENCY RISKS

The Company conducts its business activities in Canadian dollars. Consequently, the Company is subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in Canadian currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

11. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS MAY CHANGE

All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in British Columbia. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for noncompliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.
 
12. ABORIGINAL RIGHTS MAY BE CLAIMED AGAINST THE PROPERTIES

Aboriginal rights may be claimed on Crown properties or other types of tenure with respect to which mining rights have been conferred. The Company is not aware of any aboriginal land claims having been asserted or any legal actions relating to native issues having been instituted with respect to any of the minerals claims in which the Company has an interest.
 
14


13. COMPETITION

The resource industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases, and the Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire suitable properties for exploration in the future.

14. NO ASSURANCE OF TITLE TO ASSETS

While the Company has followed, and intends to follow, standard industry accepted due diligence procedures with respect to title for any concessions in which it has or will acquire a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such concessions will be not challenged or impugned.

15. CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT

The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key employees, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company. We have no employment agreements with our management. Also, we have no key-man insurance policies.
 
16. VALUE OF COMPANY

The Company’s assets are of indeterminate value and cannot be valued until a feasibility study is conducted. Further exploration of our properties is required before enough information is known about our mineral claims to undertake a feasibility study, if a feasibility study is warranted.

Business Overview

We are an exploration stage company. Our objective is to explore and, if warranted and feasible, to develop our interest in the mineral claims located in British Columbia, Canada which we refer to herein as (i) the “Silver Tip Property”,(ii) the “Carmi Property”, and (iii) the “South Rim Project.” There is no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on any of our mineral claims and further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to economic feasibility is determined.

THE CARMI PROPERTY

The Carmi Mineral Property (the “Carmi Property”) consists of a total of 5 contiguous mineral claims covering 2,873 hectares (7,184 acres) in the Greenwood Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada. The original property was acquired by St. Elias Mines Ltd. (“St. Elias”) and consisted of 22 two post claims acquired between 2001 and 2004. These were converted to the new British Columbia Mineral Titles Online (“MTO”) map selection system in 2005 and additional claims were acquired to form the present total package. Title to the core claims was acquired by St. Elias by outright purchase and the additional area surrounding these claims was acquired by MTO staking as protection. The Carmi Property has not been legally surveyed.

The Company commissioned and received an independent technical report on the Carmi Property, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The "Summary Report on the Carmi Molybdenum Property" dated August 5, 2005 and revised June 6, 2006 (the "Report") was prepared by Messrs. Michael H. Sanguinetti P. Eng. and Paul Reynolds P. Geo. of Sanguinetti Engineering Ltd. Mr. Dugald Dunlop assisted the authors of the Report with regard to GPS surveying and preparation of maps. Mr. Sanguinetti, P.Eng. and Mr. Reynolds, P.Geo are Qualified Persons as defined in Canadian National Instrument No. 43-101. Mr. Sanguinetti has been involved in mineral exploration for copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, tungsten, molybdenum, graphite, wollastonite, diamonds, barite and evaluations for aggregate and dimension stone since 1962. He has conducted this work throughout Canada, the western states of the United States, Mexico, Central America, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru. Mr. Reynolds has been involved in mineral exploration for base and precious metals and diamonds since 1987 and has conducted this work in Canada, the western United States, Argentina, Bolivia, Guyana and Peru. Messrs. Reynolds and Dunlop visited the Property on July 5 and 6, 2005 and Mr. Sanguinetti visited the Property on July 29, 2005.

Based upon a substantial amount of surface exploration work and drilling, consisting of 140 percussion holes and 45 diamond drill holes conducted from 1961 to 1980 by other parties (as described below in “History”), a preliminary resource was outlined in 1980 and 1987.

The Report contains historical estimates of the resource, based upon the results of exploration work from 1961 to 1980. The Report is available at the records office of the Company at Suite 501 - 905 West Pender Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6C 1L6 and at the Company’s office at 3045 Southcreek Road, Unit 11, Mississauga, Ontario L4X 2E9, where it may be examined during normal business hours. The Report also was filed with the Ontario Securities Commission and is available under the Company's profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. A copy of the Report may be downloaded in Acrobat form from the SEDAR website. The reader is cautioned that the Report contains "historical" estimates of a mineralized molybdenum resource. These estimates have not been prepared with the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and are not considered “reserves” as that term is used in the mining industry. The estimates must be further defined and the Company must undertake a feasibility study of the results (if a feasibility study is warranted) before we will know whether an economically viable resource exists at the Carmi Property.

The Company commenced field exploration work on the Carmi Property in September of 2006. On November 10, 2006, the Company announced that it had completed a 3-D induced polarization (IP) survey on the property and that preliminary interpretation suggested that there is a large chargeability anomaly underlying the Lake Zone. This anomaly does not appear to have been tested by previous drilling. On December 8, 2006 the Company announced that it had commenced a 2,000 meter drill program. As of January 8, 2007, two drill holes had been completed and drilling was temporarily suspended due to unusually severe winter weather conditions. Drilling results for the first two holes were announced on February 6, 2007.

* Molybdenum Disulfide

Molybdenum

Molybdenum is a base metal. The pure metal is silvery white in color, fairly soft, and has one of the highest melting points of all pure elements. In small quantities, molybdenum is effective at hardening steel. Molybdenum is used in high-strength alloys and in high-temperature steels. Special molybdenum-containing alloys, such as the Hastelloys, are notably heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Molybdenum is used in oil pipelines, aircraft and missile parts, and in filaments. Molybdenum is used as a catalyst in the petroleum industry, especially in catalysts for removing organic sulfurs from petroleum products. Molybdenum disulfide is a good lubricant, especially at high temperatures. Molybdenum is also used in some electronic applications such as the conductive metal layers in thin-film transistors.

The following graph shows historic prices in Canadian dollars (per pound) of Molybdenum from January 11, 1997 through January 11, 2007 (based upon information available at http://www.infomine.com.).

Acquisition Agreement with St. Elias Covering the Carmi Property

We entered into a property option agreement with St. Elias Mines Ltd. (“St. Elias”) dated September 12, 2005 (the "St. Elias Option Agreement"), which was amended by a property option amendment agreement dated December 27,2006 , pursuant to which we have the right to acquire up to a 70% undivided interest in the Carmi Property. Our rights in the Carmi Property arise under the St. Elias Option Agreement.

Under the terms of the St. Elias Option Agreement, as amended, we can acquire a 51% undivided interest in and to the Property (the "First Option") by paying to St. Elias the aggregate sum of CDN $75,000 in cash (of which CDN$50,000 has already been paid by us to St. Elias), issuing to St. Elias an aggregate of 500,000 of our common shares (100,000 issued) and incurring a total of CDN $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures. Pursuant to the St. Elias Option Agreement, as amended, we are required to incur a minimum of CDN$400,000 in exploration expenditures by February 28, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had spent approximately CDN$375,000 (US$316,322) on the Carmi Property, including 3D induced polarization surveying, diamond drilling and engineering. Within 90 days of fully exercising the First Option, we can elect to acquire a further undivided 19% interest in and to the Carmi Property (the "Second Option"), by incurring additional exploration expenditures totaling a minimum of CDN $3,000,000 and by issuing to St. Elias a total of 1,000,000 of our common shares.

* On November 15, 2006, the expiry dates for the Carmi Property claims were extended until November 30, 2008, at a cost of CDN$2,302.

The required value of annual assessment work to be done and recorded is based on the area of the Carmi Property. Because the claims were converted to the British Columbia Mineral Titles Online (“MTO”) system in 2005 they are considered "new" claims. As such, the work requirements are CDN$4.00 per hectare per year for the first three years and CDN$8.00 per hectare per year for year-four and succeeding years to maintain the claims. A minimum of CDN$11,495 is required to be applied to the Carmi Property to maintain the titles in good standing for this first year. We have made this investment as of the date of this Registration Statement.

Access, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

Access to the Carmi Property is by road on the paved Provincial Highway 33, driving 54 kilometres southwest from Kelowna, in the Okanagan Valley to Carmi or 8 kilometres northwest from Beaverdell. A logging haul road (Carmi FSR) leads from Carmi through the centre of the property. A large number of logging or drill roads provide access to the entire property but these are largely overgrown and require brushing out.
 
20


Climate in the Carmi - Beaverdell - Kettle Valley area is typical of the Okanagan Highlands. Summer is normally warm and dry and winter is moderate to very cold and dry. Mean temperatures at Beaverdell are 16°C in summer and -7°C in winter. Precipitation in the region is moderate in summer months (56mm in May and June) but in winter months is less with much falling as snow. Snow pack may reach to a maximum of 32cm at Beaverdell (Environment Canada website, 2005 - http://www.ec.gc.ca).
 
The Carmi Property is in the Okanagan Highlands physiographic region and encompasses an area of gently rolling hills in the central and southern portions to steep and rugged topography in the north, east and west. The Lake Zone is accessible by road but is situated on a moderately steep west facing slope. Elevation in the central claims area reaches a maximum of 1,370 metres (4,494 feet) which is approximately 450 to 500 metres (1,476 to 1,640 feet) above the valley floor. Wilkinson Creek crosses the north-eastern side of the property and joins the West Kettle River that flows southward down the Kettle River valley east of the property. A small upland lake occurs on the central portion of the claims. Adequate water for drilling and milling purposes is available from these sources.

The inhabitants of the nearby settlements of Carmi and Beaverdell (population about 350) rely mainly on tourism, logging and agriculture for employment. However, there are still a number of persons experienced in mining and exploration who previously worked for Teck Corp. at the Highland Bell Mine at Beaverdell. There is no shortage of practical, experienced persons for seasonal or permanent employment both from the Kettle Valley and from the Okanagan. The closest center for major supplies and rentals is Kelowna, however, for supplies not found in the valley, daily freight and bus services are scheduled to Beaverdell. A small sawmill at Beaverdell provides lumber for local needs. Accommodations and meals are available at Beaverdell. High voltage power lines traverse the valley if needed for future mine development. The closest International Airport is at Kelowna, with daily flights to Vancouver, Calgary and the USA. A small airstrip for private and charter aircraft exists at Beaverdell.

History

The portion of the Carmi Property known as the “E-Zone” was discovered in 1960 by Kennco Explorations (Western) Limited during the course of follow-up to geochemical stream sediment reconnaissance surveys. Kennco conducted extensive soil geochemistry, geological mapping, dozer trenching and, in 1965, two shallow diamond drill holes (total 35.1 metres) which indicated low and erratic molybdenum grades. In 1969 and 1970, International Minerals and Chemicals Limited conducted geochemical soil surveys, induced polarization and resistivity surveys and 1,540 metres of diamond drilling in 12 holes.

From 1971 to 1973, Husky Oil Limited with G.V. Lloyd Exploration Limited conducted mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys on the property and adjoining areas.

The portion of the Carmi Property known as the Lake Zone was identified by Vestor Exploration Ltd. in 1974 using soil geochemistry and both diamond drilling (17 holes, 1,712m) and percussion drilling (8 holes, 610m). In 1974 - 1975 Granby Mining Corporation, in JV with Vestor, drilled 41 percussion holes (4,370m) and in 1976 Vestor drilled 2 diamond drill holes (396m).

In 1976-1977, Craigmont Mines Limited conducted further geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys and drilled 22 percussion holes (1,932m) and 5 diamond drill holes (820m) to test IP and geochemical targets. A sixth diamond drill hole (650m) was drilled between the Lake Zone and the E Zone.

In 1978, Union Oil Company of Canada Limited conducted detailed geologic investigations as well as IP and resistivity surveys and geochemical surveys and reconnaissance work peripheral to the surveyed grid work. This program included 63 percussion holes (6,287m) in order to establish open pit reserves, establish geological controls of the molybdenite zones, evaluate depth potential and evaluate peripheral targets.
 
21


From 1984 to 1987 Vestor and Dynamic Oil Limited conducted a limited percussion drilling program (4 holes, 289.6m). The last significant program on the Carmi Property was conducted in 1989 and 1990 by Placer Dome Inc. They reviewed the correlation of results from previous percussion and diamond drilling programs and, in 1990, drilled 3 diamond drill holes (311.28m) to twin three old percussion holes. Results of this twinning suggest that considerable down-hole contamination of molybdenum values took place in the original percussion drilling.

From 1960 until 1990, work on the Carmi Property has entailed geological mapping and prospecting, soil, water and silt geochemistry, dozer trenching and chip sampling, induced polarization, resistivity, magnetometer surveys and percussion and diamond drilling. Overall, a total of approximately 21,533 metres of drilling has been carried out on the Property, consisting of 140 percussion holes and 48 diamond drill holes. The total amount expended on exploration to date is in excess of $1 million.

Based on the substantial amount of surface exploration work and drilling, consisting of 140 percussion holes and 45 diamond drill holes conducted from 1961 to 1980, a preliminary resource was outlined in 1980 and 1987, as described in the Report. As noted above, the preliminary resource outlined in the Report is merely an estimate that has not been prepared in compliance with the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and is not considered a “reserve” as that term is used in the mining industry. The estimates must be further defined and the Company must undertake a feasibility study of the results (if a feasibility study is warranted) before we will know whether an economically viable resource exists at the Carmi Property.

Our work to date on the Carmi Property and our proposed work programs (described below) of access improvement, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, trenching and drilling do not pose any apparent environmental hazards.

The moderate and steep slopes of the Carmi Property are covered by grazing grasses, non-commercial brush and widely spaced secondary pine and fir vegetation. Trenching and drill roads from past exploration work have been partially reclaimed or naturally regenerated and are extensively overgrown. Old drill sites were reclaimed and all core and cuttings have been removed from the site.

Local animal populations are primarily domestic range cattle. Larger vertebrate wild animals include black bears and deer, the populations of both are kept in check by local hunters.

In recent years tourism has become an important consideration for the local economy. Bicycle tours along the abandoned Kettle Valley branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway right-of-way have become popular with outdoors enthusiasts. A section of this rail bed loops through the northeast quarter of the property and crosses Wilkinson Creek. Surface rights of this rail right-of-way were acquired by the Province of British Columbia and in turn leased to the Trans Canada Trail. Exploration work and/or any potential mining should not interfere with the site of the trail and we do not anticipate a conflict with Trans Canada Trail’s surface rights.

The Carmi Property was previously noted as having enriched uranium content in the Jura-Cretaceous granite. Standard assays and analytical results of samples show uranium concentration in a grade of less than 0.05% by weight and thorium concentration in a grade of less than 0.15% by weight. Since these values are below the "danger" thresholds, we do not believe a hazard is present and no special precautions are required for drilling or other exploration work.

Exploration to be Conducted by the Company

The exploration potential of the Carmi Property is considered excellent to expand the known mineralized showings. Our exploration program was divided into two phases. Phase I, as described below, is largely complete.
 
22


Phase I

The Company commenced field exploration work on the Carmi Property in September of 2006. On November 10, 2006, the Company announced that it had completed a 3-D induced polarization (IP) survey on the property and that preliminary interpretation suggested that there is a large chargeability anomaly underlying the Lake Zone. This anomaly does not appear to have been tested by previous drilling. On December 8, 2006 the Company announced that it had commenced a 2,000 meter drill program. As of January 8, 2007, two drill holes had been completed and drilling was temporarily suspended due to unusually severe winter weather conditions. Drilling results for the first two holes were announced on February 6, 2007.

The key results are as follows:

Phase II
 
Phase II should start with a 15 km 3D IP survey over the E Zone. Following evaluation of the geophysical survey data and contingent upon receiving positive results from the 3-D IP survey, it is recommended that Hi Ho undertake a 4,000 metre diamond drill program on the Carmi Property. The objective of the drill program is two-fold. First it is necessary to twin some old holes in order to confirm the grade of mineralization previously reported. Secondly, it is intended to test the geophysical targets and to follow up and expand existing identified mineralized trends from the historical work.

Confirmatory diamond drilling on the Lake Zone is recommended to define and expand the high grade mineralization located at depth. Diamond drilling on the E Zone is recommended to test the potential on-strike and depth extensions and grade of the zone.

SILVER TIP PROPERTY

The “Silver Tip Property” consists of two claims located in the Slocan/Nelson Mining Division in British Columbia, Canada. The two claims encompass approximately 2,250 acres with five mineralized showings. The Company’s information about the Silver Tip Property is based primarily upon historical information that is publicly available and the records in prior exploration which included underground workings in some places. An exploration project was carried out in 2004 by an independent consultant that confirmed the existence of the underground workings and collected samples. The Company intends to undertake the first exploration program of its own on the Silver Tip Property in the Spring of 2007. The Company has not undertaken any exploration of the Silver Tip Property as of the date of this Registration Statement.

Acquisition Agreement with Madman Mining Co. Ltd.

The Company entered into a property option agreement with Madman Mining Co. Ltd. (“Madman Mining”) dated October 13, 2006 pursuant to which it obtained the right to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Silver Tip Property (the “Silver Tip Option Agreement”). Our rights in the Silver Tip Property arise under the Silver Tip Option Agreement.

Pursuant to the Silver Tip Option Agreement, the Company purchased a 51% undivided interest in the Silver Tip Property by paying to Madman Mining CDN$35,000 (US$29,523) in cash and by issuing to Madman Mining a total of 200,000 common shares

The Company’s net loss for the year ended July 31, 2006 was higher than that for the period ended July 31, 2005 because (a) it covers a full 12 months instead of the shorter period for the period ended July 31, 2005, which commenced on the Company’s date of inception (April 7, 2005), and (b) the Company had significant increases in its administration fees, travel and conference expenses, sponsorship fees, listing and transfer services fees, and accounting, auditing and legal fees during the year ended July 31, 2006, which costs were primarily as a result of the expenses involved in the preparation and filing of the Company’s preliminary prospectus and the Company’s initial public offering.

Results of Operations

The net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2006, was CDN$153,198, compared to a net loss of CDN$21,944 for the three months ended October 31, 2005. The increase of CDN$131,204 is mainly attributable to the following:

 
a)
Investor relations expenses increased from Nil to CDN$63,348;
 
 
b)
Financing fees increased from Nil to CDN$28,500;
 
 
c)
Travel and conference expenses increased from CDN$4,413 to CDN$22,074;
 
 
d)
Accounting, audit and legal fees increased from CDN$9,150 to CDN$17,185 due to accounting, auditing and legal fees associated with the listing of the Company’s shares on the CNQ stock exchange;
 
 
e)
Administration fees increased from Nil to CDN$10,000;
 
 
f)
Office and Miscellaneous expenses increased from CDN$404 to CDN$3,282; and
 
 
g)
Website expenses increased from Nil to CDN$2,400.

The foregoing summary financial data were taken from the Company’s audited and unaudited financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Currency amounts are in $CDN.
 
Liquidity
 
The Company has no operating revenues and finances its operations principally through the sale of its securities. In the short term, a director of the Company has provided cash advances to meet urgent operating needs. During the three months ended October 31, 2006, an officer of the Company advanced CDN$5,000 to the Company and was repaid a total of CDN$30,000 for funds previously advanced to and expenses previously incurred on behalf of the Company.
 
On August 29, 2006, Hi Ho Silver closed an initial public offering (“IPO”) with gross proceeds to the Company totalling CDN$525,000. The offering was fully subscribed and a total of 3,500,000 shares were issued at a price of CDN$0.15 per share, pursuant to the Company’s prospectus dated July 27, 2006. Northern Securities Inc. acted as lead agent on the IPO. In connection with the IPO, the Company paid agent’s commissions totalling CDN$52,500 cash and 350,000 agent’s warrants. Each agent’s warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of CDN$0.15 per share on or before August 29, 2008.
 
As of October 31, 2006, the Company had no long-term liabilities, a working capital deficit of CDN$96,590 and total assets of CDN$674,537. The Company’s primary assets as of October 31, 2006 were cash of CDN$304,392, prepaid expenses of CDN$69,921 and mineral property costs of CDN$276,697.  By comparison, as of July 31, 2006, the Company had no long-term liabilities, a working capital deficit of CDN$148,048 and total assets of CDN$93,232.  The primary assets of the Company as of July 31, 2006 were cash of CDN$13,127, mineral property costs of CDN$31,805 and deferred share issue costs of CDN$38,457.  Note that under US GAAP, mineral property acquisition and exploration costs on unproved properties are expensed as incurred, which means that under US GAAP there is no asset known as “mineral property costs”. See Note 11 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the differences between Canadian and US GAAP.  
 
On November 1, 2006, Hi Ho Silver closed a private placement offering with gross proceeds to the Company totalling CDN$480,000. The offering was fully subscribed and a total of 800,000 units were issued at a price of CDN$0.60 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of CDN$0.80 per share for a two year period. Almost half of the offering was done on a flow-through basis. The units are subject to a hold period until March 2, 2007. Blair Shilleto was paid a CDN$25,000 finders fee in connection with the offering.
 
27

 
The Company intends to raise funds to pay for the Company’s acquisition of mineral exploration properties and for its exploration and business activities through further private placement offerings of its securities and/or from the proceeds of the exercise of outstanding stock options or from the exercise of share purchase warrants. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary funds in this manner. Circumstances that could affect liquidity are market or commodity price changes or economic downturns.
 
Capital Resources

As of the date of this discussion, the Company has 1,086,000 stock purchase warrants outstanding and 2,300,000 stock options outstanding. If the Company’s shares trade at a sufficient premium to the exercise price of these warrants and options and if there are no trading restrictions on the underlying shares, then it is expected that the warrants and options will be exercised, which will contribute additional cash to the Company’s treasury.

With respect to the Carmi Property, the Company is required to incur an additional CDN$600,000 (Phase II Program) exploration expenditures by September 18, 2007 and an additional CDN$1,000,000 in exploration expenditures by September 18, 2008, and make a cash payment of CDN$25,000 by September 18, 2007 (and issue a further 400,000 shares) to acquire a 51% interest in the Carmi Property. Within 90 days following the exercise of the first option to acquire the 51% interest, the Company can elect to earn a further 19% interest in the Carmi Property by incurring an additional CDN$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures (and issuing an additional 1,000,000 shares) in stages.

The Company can earn an additional 49% interest in the Silver Tip Property by paying CDN$65,000 (and issuing 300,000 shares of the Company) on or before October 1, 2007.

In order to earn the 51% undivided interest in and to the South Rim Project the Company must incur an aggregate of CDN$500,000 in exploration expenditures on or before February 12, 2010; make an aggregate cash payment of CDN$40,000 by February 12, 2009 and issue a total of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock by February 12, 2008.

Long-Term Incentive Plans, Options and SARs Awards in Most Recently Completed Fiscal Year

Stock appreciation right ("SAR") means a right, granted by an issuer or any of its subsidiaries as compensation for employment services or office to receive cash or an issue or transfer of securities based wholly or in part on changes in the trading price of the Company’s shares. No SARs and no incentive stock options were granted or exercised by the Named Executive Officer during the recently completed fiscal years ended July 31, 2005 or 2006.

Application of Penny Stock Rules

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on NASD broker-dealers who make a market in "a penny stock". A penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our shares may be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and the price of our shares may fall within a range which would cause our shares to be considered a “penny stock.” The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers handling “penny stocks” in the United States may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could limit the market liquidity of the shares in the United States and impede the sale of our shares in the market in the United States.

Under the “penny stock” regulations, a broker-dealer selling “penny stocks” to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to purchase, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.
 
In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks.”
 
All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities.
 
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
 
The Company will seek to obtain an exemption, known as the “manual exemption,” in up to 38 States where such exemption is available. Generally, the manual exemption is available to issuers that maintain an up-to-date listing that includes certain information about the issuer in a recognized securities manual. The Company will obtain a listing in “Standard & Poor’s Corporation Records,” a recognized securities manual. The States that provide the manual exemption include: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Each State’s law is different. Some of the States provide a general exemption for issuers’ securities that are listed in a “recognized securities manual” (or similar language) while other States have provisions that name the recognized securities manuals that qualify an issuer for the exemption in that State. Investors and securities professionals are advised to check each State’s securities laws and regulations (known as “Blue Sky” laws) or to check with the Company to ascertain whether an exemption exists for the Company’s shares in a particular State.

Escrowed Securities

Pursuant to Canadian National Policy 46-201 Escrow for Initial Public Offerings (the "Escrow Policy"), the securities held by principals of the Company must be held in escrow subject to the terms of an escrow agreement for a period of time following the Company's public offering in August of 2006 as an incentive for the principals to devote their time and attention to the Company's business while they are security holders. Principals include all persons or companies that, on the completion of the Company's offering, fall into one or more of the following categories:

 
a)
Directors and senior officers or the directors and senior officers of a material operating subsidiary;

 
b)
Promoters during the two years preceding the offering;

 
c)
Those who own and/or control more than 10% of the Company's voting securities immediately before and immediately after completion of the offering if they also have appointed or have the right to appoint one or more of the Company's directors or senior officers or one or more of the directors or senior officers of a material operating subsidiary;
 
 
d)
Those who own and/or control more than 20% of the Company's voting securities immediately before and immediately after completion of the offering; and
 
 
e)
Associates and affiliates of any of the above.

A company, trust, partnership or other entity where more than 50% of the voting securities are held by one or more principals will be treated as a principal. A principal's spouse and their relatives that live at the same address as the principal will also be treated as principals and any securities of the issuer they hold will be subject to escrow requirements. A principal that holds securities carrying less than 1% of the voting rights attached to an issuer's outstanding securities immediately after its initial public offering is not subject to escrow requirements.
 
43


The following table sets out the number of common shares of the Company are being held in escrow:

Designation of class
 
Number of securities
held in escrow
 
Percentage of class
 
Common shares
   
9,405,000

%
 
The common shares are held in escrow pursuant to an Escrow Agreement dated September 12, 2005 between the Company, Pacific Corporate Trust Company and the shareholders.
 
As the Company will be considered an `emerging issuer' as that term is defined under the Escrow Policy, a principal's escrowed securities will be released according to the following schedule:
 
On August 31, 2006, the date the Company's
securities were listed on a Canadian
exchange (the listing date)
 
1/10 of the escrowed securities
6 months after the listing date
 
1/6 of the remaining escrowed securities
12 months after the listing date
 
1/5 of the remaining escrowed securities
18 months after the listing date
 
1/4 of the remaining escrowed securities
24 months after the listing date
 
1/3 of the remaining escrowed securities
30 months after the listing date
 
1/2 of the remaining escrowed securities
36 months after the listing date
 
the remaining escrowed securities
 
*
In the simplest case, where there are no changes to the escrow securities initially deposited and no additional escrow securities, the release schedule outlined above results in the escrow securities being released in equal tranches of 15% after completion of the release on the listing date.

10.D. Exchange Controls 

Except as discussed in Item 10.E., the Company is not aware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-Canadian holders of the common shares. There are no limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote the common shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company.

The Investment Canada Act (the "IC Act") governs acquisitions of Canadian business by a non-Canadian person or entity. The IC Act requires a non-Canadian (as defined in the IC Act) making an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business, the gross assets of which exceed certain defined threshold levels, to file an application for review with the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada. The IC Act provides, among other things, for a review of an investment in the event of acquisition of "control" in certain Canadian businesses in the following circumstances:

1. If the investor is a non-Canadian and is a national of a country belonging to the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") and/or the World Trade Organization ("WTO") (a "NAFTA or WTO National"), any direct acquisition having an asset value exceeding CDN$179,000,000 is reviewable. This amount is subject to an annual adjustment on the basis of a prescribed formula in the IC Act to reflect inflation and real growth within Canada. This threshold level does not apply in certain sections of Canadian industry, such as uranium, financial services (except insurance), transportation services and cultural services (i.e. the publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals (other than printing or typesetting businesses), music in print or machine readable form, radio, television, cable and satellite services; the publication, distribution, sale or exhibition of film or video recordings on audio or video music recordings), as to which lower thresholds as prescribed in the IC Act are applicable.

2. If the investor is a non-Canadian and is not a NAFTA or WTO National, any direct acquisition having an asset value exceeding CDN$5,000,000 and any indirect acquisition having an asset value exceeding CDN$50,000,000 is reviewable.
 
48


3. If the investor is a non-Canadian and is a NAFTA or WTO National, an indirect acquisition of control is reviewable if the value of the assets of the business located in Canada represents more than 50% of the asset value of the transaction or the business is involved in uranium, financial services, transportation services or cultural services.

Finally, certain transactions prescribed in the IC Act are exempted from review altogether.

In the context of the Company, in essence, three methods of acquiring control of a Canadian business are regulated by the IC Act:

 
(i)
the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets used in carrying on business in Canada;

 
(ii)
the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of voting shares of a Canadian corporation carrying on business in Canada; or

 
(iii)
the acquisition of voting shares of an entity which controls, directly or indirectly, another entity carrying on business in Canada.
 
An acquisition of a majority of the voting shares of a Canadian entity, including a corporation, is deemed to be an acquisition of control under the IC Act. However, under the IC Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that control is acquired if one-third of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation or an equivalent undivided interest in the voting shares of such corporation are held by a non-Canadian person or entity. An acquisition of less than one-third of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation is deemed not to be an acquisition of control. An acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation is presumed to be an acquisition of control unless it can be established that, on the acquisition, the Canadian corporation is not, in fact, controlled by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares. For partnerships, trusts, joint ventures or other unincorporated Canadian entities, an acquisition of less than a majority of the voting interests is deemed not to be an acquisition of control.

In addition, if a Canadian corporation is controlled by a non-Canadian, the acquisition of control of any other Canadian corporation by such corporation may be subject to the prior approval of the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada, unless it can be established that the Canadian corporation is not in fact controlled by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares.

Where an investment is reviewable under the IC Act, the investment may not be implemented unless it is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. If an applicant is unable to satisfy the Minister responsible for Industry Canada that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the applicant may not proceed with the investment. Alternatively, an acquirer may be required to divest control of the Canadian business that is the subject of the investment. In addition to the foregoing, the IC Act provides for formal notification under the IC Act of all other acquisitions of control by Canadian businesses by non-Canadian investors. The notification process consists of filing a notification within 30 days following the implementation of an investment, which notification is for information, as opposed to review, purposes.
 
10.E. Taxation 
 
NON-RESIDENT HOLDERS

The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a person (a "Non-Resident Holder") who (1) at all relevant times, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), holds such Common Shares as capital property, and deals at arm's length and is not affiliated with the Company and (2) who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax convention (i) is not, and is not deemed to be, a resident of Canada, (ii) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Common Shares in, or in the course of, carrying on a business in Canada and (iii) does not carry on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere, and (4) whose Common Shares do not constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the person for purposes of the Tax Act. Provided that the Common Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the Frankfurt Exchange) at a particular time, the Common Shares will generally not constitute "taxable Canadian property" to a Non-Resident Holder at that time unless, at any time during the five-year period immediately preceding that time, 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of a class of the Company's capital stock was owned by the Non-Resident Holder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length or any combination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, Common Shares could be deemed to be taxable Canadian property.
 
49


DIVIDENDS ON COMMON SHARES

Dividends on Common Shares paid or credited or deemed under the Tax Act to be paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder generally will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any applicable reduction in the rate of withholding in an applicable tax treaty where the Non-Resident Holder is a resident of a country with which Canada has an income tax treaty. Where the Non-Resident Holder is a U.S. resident entitled to benefits under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) and is the beneficial owner of the dividends, dividends on Common Shares generally will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 15%. If the Non-Resident Holder is a U.S. resident company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company and is the beneficial owner of the dividends, the Canadian withholding tax on such dividends will be at the rate of 5%.

DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES

Provided that the Common Shares acquired by a Non-Resident Holder under this Prospectus do not constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition, the Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized on a disposition of Common Shares, nor will capital losses arising therefrom be recognized under the Tax Act.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of Common Shares as of the date of this Registration Statement. The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings and judicial decisions as in effect as of the date hereof, all of which may be repealed, revoked or modified (possibly with retroactive effect) so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. The summary is applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) (i) who are residents of the United States for the purposes of the current Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (the "Convention"), (ii) whose Common Shares would not, for purposes of the Convention, be effectively connected with a permanent establishment in Canada and (iii) who otherwise would qualify for the full benefits of the Convention. Except where noted, it deals only with Common Shares held as capital assets and does not deal with special situations, such as those of brokers, dealers in securities or currencies, financial institutions, tax-exempt entities or qualified retirement plans, insurance companies, persons holding Common Shares as part of a hedging, integration, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, partnerships and other pass-through entities, persons owning (or who are deemed to own for United States federal income tax purposes) 10% or more of the Company 's stock (by vote or value), traders who elect to mark-to-market their securities, persons whose "functional currency" is not the United States dollar, or persons owning (either alone or with others that they do not deal with at arm's length) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the Company's capital stock within 5 years of the disposition of Common Shares. This discussion also does not address any United States federal income tax consequences to any person who owns an interest in any entity that holds Common Shares. Furthermore, this summary does not address alternative minimum taxes, or any aspect of foreign, state, local, estate or gift taxation.
 
50

 
PERSONS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY TAXING JURISDICTION.

As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial holder of Common Shares that is (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or any entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (X) that is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more United States persons as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or (Y) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. A "Non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial holder of Common Shares that is not a U.S. Holder.

The following discussion assumes that the Company is not a passive foreign investment company.

DISTRIBUTIONS

The gross amount of any distribution received by a U.S. Holder with respect to Common Shares (including amounts withheld to pay Canadian withholding taxes) will be included in the gross income of such U.S. Holders, as a dividend, to the extent attributable to current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. The Company has not paid any dividends to date on its Common Shares and has not calculated its earnings and profits under United States federal income tax rules. Provided that the Company is not treated as a passive foreign investment company, described below, the Company believes that it is considered to be a "qualified foreign corporation," and therefore distribution to non-corporate U.S. Holders that are treated as dividends should qualify for a reduced rate of tax for dividends received in taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2008. Dividends on Common Shares generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.

The amount of any dividend paid in Canadian dollars (including amounts withheld to pay Canadian withholding taxes) will equal the United States dollar value of the Canadian dollars calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is received by the U.S. Holder regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into United States dollars. If the Canadian dollars received as a dividend are converted into United States dollars on the date of receipt, the U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gains or losses in respect of the dividend income. If the Canadian dollars received as a dividend are not converted into United States dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the Canadian dollars equal to their United States dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollars by a U.S. Holder will be treated as United States source ordinary income or loss. The maximum rate of Canadian withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. Holder pursuant to the Convention is 15 percent. A U.S. Holder may be entitled to deduct or credit such tax, subject to applicable limitations in the Code. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on the Common Shares will be treated as income from foreign sources and will generally constitute "passive income" or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, "financial services income". Special rules apply to certain individuals whose foreign source income during the taxable year consists entirely of "qualified passive income" and whose creditable foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year do not exceed US$300 (US$600 in the case of a joint return). Further, in certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder that (i) has held Common Shares for less than a specified minimum period during which it is not protected from risk of loss or (ii) is obligated to make payments related to the dividends, will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on Common Shares. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

51

 

To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted tax basis of the Common Shares with regard to which the distribution was made, and to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares.

Subject to the discussion below under "Information Reporting and Backup Withholding", a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on dividends received, unless the income is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States.

SALE, EXCHANGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION

For United States federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the Common Shares and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will generally be treated as United States source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes.

Subject to the discussion below under "Information Reporting and Backup Withholding", a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale or exchange of Common Shares unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) in the case of any gain realized by an individual Non-U.S. Holder, the holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or exchange and certain other conditions are met.

INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to the payment of dividends of the Common Shares or the proceeds received on the sale, exchange, or redemption of Common Shares paid within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States) to holders other than certain exempt recipients (such as corporations, Non-U.S. Holders that provide appropriate certification, and certain other persons). In addition, a backup withholding tax (currently imposed at a rate of 28% for years through 2010) may apply to such amounts if the holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number, or is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report dividends required to be shown on its federal income tax returns. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will generally be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder's United States federal income tax liability, and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is provided to the IRS in a timely manner.

Non-U.S. Holders generally are not subject to backup withholding with regard to dividends paid on, or the proceeds of, the Common Shares, provided that the Non-U.S. Holder provides taxpayer identification number, certifies its foreign status or otherwise establishes an exemption from such requirements.

THE ABOVE SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE COMMON SHARES. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ITS PARTICULAR SITUATION.

10.F. Dividends and Paying Agents

The Company has not declared any dividends on its common shares for the last five years and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future. The present policy of the Company is to retain future earnings for use in its operations and the expansion of its business.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned: the Company is unaware of any dividend restrictions; has no specific procedure for the setting of the date of dividend entitlement; but might expect to set a record date for stock ownership to determine entitlement; has no specific procedures for non- resident holders to claim dividends, but might expect to mail their dividends in the same manner as resident holders. The Company has not nominated any financial institutions to be the potential paying agents for dividends in the United States.

10.G. Statement by Experts

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the October 31, 2006. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company, respectively, have concluded that, as of the year end, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended July 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Item 16. Audit Committee and Financial Expert

Wayne Turgeon, a director of the Company, its Chief Financial Officer and a member of its audit committee, performs accounting work for the Company and is a financial expert. Because Mr. Turgeon performs services for the Company and is compensated by the Company for these services, he is not considered independent.

HI HO SILVER RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31 and July 31, 2006
(unaudited)
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations

Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 7, 2005. The Company is a public company whose common shares trade on the Canadian Trading and Quotation System Inc. stock exchange (the “Exchange”).

The Company is in the exploration stage and is in the process of exploring its mineral property and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property acquisition and deferred exploration costs are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the property and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At October , 2006, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $292,951 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency $96,590 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and, except as described in Note 10, conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates that have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
October 31 and July 31, 2006
(unaudited)
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

a) Exploration Stage Company

   
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 7 and the Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as exploration stage.

b) Equipment

 
Equipment is recorded at cost. The Company provides for amortization on the declining-balance method at the following annual rates:

Computer equipment
   
30
%
Office equipment
   
20
%

Current year additions are amortized at one-half the rate.

c) Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration Costs

   
The acquisition of mineral properties are recorded at cost. Exploration and development costs relating to these properties are deferred until the properties are brought into production, at which time the costs are amortized on the unit of production basis, or until the properties are abandoned or sold, at which time the costs are written off. Mineral properties are abandoned when the claims are no longer in good standing or the agreements covering the claims are in default and, in either case, management has determined that abandonment is appropriate. Management reviews the carrying value of mineral properties on a periodic basis and will recognize impairment in value based upon current exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company, the assessment of future probability of profitable revenues from the property or from the sale of property.

d) Environmental Costs

   
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

e) Flow-through Shares

Under the terms of flow-through share agreements, the related expenditures are renounced to the subscribers of such shares. In March 2004, the CICA issued Emerging Issue Committee Abstract No. 146, Flow-through Shares, which clarifies the recognition of previously unrecorded future income tax assets caused by renouncement of expenditures relating to flow-through shares. For flow-through shares issued after March 19, 2004, the Company records the tax effect related to the renounced deductions as a reduction of income tax expense in the statement of operations on the date that the Company renounces the deductions for investors.

f) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. Fully diluted amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.

g) Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of those instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements’ opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

h) Income Taxes

   
The Company has adopted the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes only if it is more likely-than-not that they can be realized.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

i) Stock-based Compensation

   
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles require the fair value of all share purchase options to be expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of share purchase options at the date of grant.

j) Website Costs

   
Costs associated with the planning and operating stages to develop a website are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred related to hardware and software costs used to operate a website are capitalized and amortized over its useful life.

Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which differ in certain respects with those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the United States of America.

 
The Company’s accounting principles generally accepted in Canada differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as follows:

a) Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration Costs

   
Under accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) mineral property acquisition and exploration costs may be deferred and amortized to the extent they meet certain criteria. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) mineral property acquisition and exploration costs on unproved properties are expensed as incurred.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders,
Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the balance sheets of Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as at July 31, 2006 and 2005 and the statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2006 and the period from April 7, 2005 (Date of Inception) to July 31, 2005. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2006 and the period from April 7, 2005 (Date of Inception) to July 31, 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

COMMENTS BY AUDITOR FOR US READERS ON CANADA - US REPORTING DIFFERENCES

In the United States of America, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency, has accumulated substantial losses since its inception, expects to incur further losses in the development of its business and is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable, all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Our report to the shareholders dated October 13, 2006 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such uncertainty in the auditors’ report when the uncertainty is adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

HI HO SILVER RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2006 and 2005
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations

Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 7, 2005. The Company is a public company whose common shares trade on the Canadian Trading and Quotation System Inc. stock exchange (the “Exchange”).

The Company is in the exploration stage and is in the process of exploring its mineral property and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property acquisition and deferred exploration costs are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the property and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At July 31, 2006, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $139,753 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of $148,048 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and, except as described in Note 10, conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates that have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
July 31, 2006 and 2005
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

a) Exploration Stage Company

   
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 7 and the Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as exploration stage.

b) Equipment

 
Equipment is recorded at cost. The Company provides for amortization on the declining-balance method at the following annual rates:

Computer equipment
   
30
%
Office equipment
   
20
%

Current year additions are amortized at one-half the rate.

c) Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration Costs

   
The acquisition of mineral properties are recorded at cost. Exploration and development costs relating to these properties are deferred until the properties are brought into production, at which time the costs are amortized on the unit of production basis, or until the properties are abandoned or sold, at which time the costs are written off. Mineral properties are abandoned when the claims are no longer in good standing or the agreements covering the claims are in default and, in either case, management has determined that abandonment is appropriate. Management reviews the carrying value of mineral properties on a periodic basis and will recognize impairment in value based upon current exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company, the assessment of future probability of profitable revenues from the property or from the sale of property.

d) Environmental Costs

   
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

e) Flow-through Shares

Under the terms of flow-through share agreements, the related expenditures are renounced to the subscribers of such shares. In March 2004, the CICA issued Emerging Issue Committee Abstract No. 146, Flow-through Shares, which clarifies the recognition of previously unrecorded future income tax assets caused by renouncement of expenditures relating to flow-through shares. For flow-through shares issued after March 19, 2004, the Company records the tax effect related to the renounced deductions as a reduction of income tax expense in the statement of operations on the date that the Company renounces the deductions for investors.

f) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. Fully diluted amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.

 
g)
Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of those instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements’ opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

h) Income Taxes

   
The Company has adopted the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes only if it is more likely-than-not that they can be realized.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

 
i)
Stock-based Compensation

   
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles require the fair value of all share purchase options to be expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of share purchase options at the date of grant.

j) Website Costs

   
Costs associated with the planning and operating stages to develop a website are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred related to hardware and software costs used to operate a website are capitalized and amortized over its useful life.

Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which differ in certain respects with those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the United States of America.

 
The Company’s accounting principles generally accepted in Canada differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as follows:

a) Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration Costs

   
Under accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) mineral property acquisition and exploration costs may be deferred and amortized to the extent they meet certain criteria. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) mineral property acquisition and exploration costs on unproved properties are expensed as incurred.
