Prospectus

RIVERDALE MINING INC.
Shares of Common Stock
1,000,000 Minimum - 2,000,000 Maximum

Before this offering, there has been no public market for the common stock. In the event that we sell at least the minimum number of shares in this offering, of which there is no assurance, we intend to have the shares of common stock quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. There is, however, no assurance that the shares will ever be quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board.

We are offering up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock in a direct public offering, without any involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers, 1,000,000 shares minimum, 2,000,000 shares maximum. The offering price is $0.10 per share. In the event that 1,000,000 shares are not sold within the 270 days, all money received by us will be promptly returned to you without interest or deduction of any kind. However, future actions by creditors in the subscription period could preclude or delay us in refunding your money. If at least 1,000,000 shares are sold within 270 days, all money received by us will be retained by us and there will be no refund. Funds will be held in a separate account at Washington Mutual, 601 Main Street, Spokane, Washington 99201, telephone (509) 353-4920. Sold securities are deemed securities which have been paid for with collected funds prior to expiration of 270 days. Collected funds are deemed funds that have been paid by the drawee bank. The foregoing account is not an escrow, trust or similar account. It is merely a separate account under our control where we have segregated your funds. As a result, creditors could attach the funds.

There are no minimum purchase requirements, and there are no arrangements to place the funds in an escrow, trust, or similar account.

Our common stock will be sold on our behalf by our officers and directors. They will not receive any commissions or proceeds from the offering for selling shares on our behalf.

Investing in our common stock involves risks. See "Risk Factors" starting at page 6.

SUMMARY OF OUR OFFERING

Our Business

We were incorporated on March 30, 2007. We are an exploration stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. We intend to conduct exploration activities on one property. Record title to the property upon which we intend to conduct exploration activities is not held in our name. Record title to the property is recorded in the name of Vladimir Vaskevich, our president. We intend to conduct exploration activities on one property located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The one property consists of three mining claims containing two, one unit claims and one, one cell claim.

We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion and rely upon the sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund operations.

Our administrative office is located at 20 Carl Crescent, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M1W 3R2. Our telephone number is (877) 536-0333. Our registered statutory office is located at 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Las Vegas, Nevada 89511. Our fiscal year end is March 31.

Management, or affiliates thereof, will not purchase shares in this offering in order to reach the minimum.

RISK FACTORS

Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock. We discuss all material risks in the risk factors.

Risks associated with Riverdale Mining Inc.

1. If we do not raise at least the minimum amount of this offering, we will have to suspend or cease operations.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. If we do not raise at least the minimum amount from our offering, we will have to suspend or cease operations within twelve months.

2. Our plan of operation is limited to finding an ore body. As such we have no plans for revenue generation. Accordingly, you should not expect any revenues from operations.

Our plan of operation and the funds we raise from this offering will be used for exploration of the property to determine if there is an ore body beneath the surface. Exploration does not contemplate removal of the ore. We have no plans or funds for ore removal. Accordingly, we will not generate any revenues as a result of your investment.

3. Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost.

The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. In all probability the property does not contain any reserves. As such, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which will result in a loss of your investment.

 

 

-6-


4. We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations.

We were incorporated on March 30, 2007, and we have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since inception is $(18,000). To achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow we are dependent upon:

 

*

our ability to locate a profitable mineral property

 

*

our ability to generate revenues

 

*

our ability to reduce exploration costs.

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our mineral properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease operations.

5. Because our management does not have technical training or experience in exploring for, starting, and operating an exploration program, we will have to hire qualified personnel. If we cannot locate qualified personnel, we may have to suspend or cease operations which will result in the loss of your investment.

Because our management is inexperienced with exploring for, starting, and operating an exploration program, we will have to hire qualified persons to perform surveying, exploration, and excavation of the property. Our management has no direct training or experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Management decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches that mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry. As a result we may have to suspend or cease operations which will result in the loss of your investment.

6. Because title to the property is held in the name of one of our officers, if he transfers the property to someone other than us, we will cease operations.

Record title to the property upon which we intend to conduct exploration activities is not held in our name. Record title to the property is recorded in the name of Vladimir Vaskevich. If he transfers the property to a third person, the third person will obtain good title and we will have nothing. If that happens we will be harmed in that we will not own any property and we will have to cease operations. Under British Columbia law, title to British Columbia mining claims can only be held by British Columbia residents. In the case of corporations, title must be held by a British Columbia corporation. In order for us to own record title to the property, we would have to incorporate a British Columbia wholly owned subsidiary corporation and obtain audited financial statements. We believe those costs would be a waste of our money at this time because the legal costs of incorporating a subsidiary corporation, the accounting costs of audited financial statements for the subsidiary corporation, together with the legal and accounting costs of expanding this registration statement would cost several thousands of dollars. Accordingly, we have elected not to create the subsidiary at this time, but will do so if mineralized material is discovered on the property.

 

 

-7-


7. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity which may result in a loss of your investment.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, an existing ore body may go undiscovered. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.

8. Weather interruptions in the province of British Columbia may affect and delay our proposed exploration operations and as a result, there may be delays in generating revenues.

Our proposed exploration work can only be performed approximately five to six months out of the year. This is because rain and snow cause the roads leading to our claim to be impassible during six to seven months of the year. When roads are impassible, we are unable to conduct exploration operations on the property which will delay the generation of possible revenues by us.

9. Because Messrs. Vaskevich and Ratchkovski have other outside business activities, they will only be devoting 10% of their time, or four hours per week to our operations; our operations may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of exploration.

Because Messrs. Vaskevich and Ratchkovski, our officers and directors, have other outside business activities, they will only be devoting 10% of their time, or four hours per week, to our operations. As a result, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to Messrs. Vaskevich and Ratchkovski. As a result, exploration of the property may be periodically interrupted or suspended.

Risks associated with this offering:

10. If our officers and directors resign or die without having found replacements our operations will be suspended or cease. If that should occur, you could lose your investment.

We have two officers and directors. We are entirely dependent upon them to conduct our operations. If they should resign or die there will be no one to run us. Further, we do not have key person insurance. If that should occur, until we find another person to run us, our operations will be suspended or cease entirely. In that event it is possible you could lose your entire investment.

11. Because there is no escrow, trust or similar account, your subscription could be seized by creditors or by a trustee in bankruptcy. If that occurs you will lose your investment.

There is no escrow, trust or similar account in which your subscription will be deposited. It will only be deposited in a separate bank account under our name. Only our officers and directors will have access to the account. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the offering. You will only receive your funds back if we do not raise the minimum amount of the offering within the 270 day period. As a result, if we are sued for any reason and a judgment is rendered against us, your subscription could be seized in a garnishment proceeding. If we file a voluntary bankruptcy petition or our creditors file an involuntary bankruptcy petition, our assets will be seized by the bankruptcy trustee, including your subscription, and used to pay our creditors. If that happens, you will lose your investment, even if we fail to raise the minimum amount in this offering.

 

 

-8-


12. Because our officers and directors are risking a small amount of capital and property, while you on the other hand are risking up to $200,000, if we fail you will absorb most of our loss.

Our officers and directors will receive a substantial benefit from your investment. They supplied the property, paid expenses and made a loan all of which totaled $18,000. You, on the other hand, will be providing all of the cash for our operations. As a result, if we cease operations for any reason, you will lose your investment while our officers and directors will lose only approximately $18,000.

13. Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock and as a result your investment is illiquid.

There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale, of which there is no assurance. As a result, your investment is illiquid.

Offering expenses consist of: (1) legal services, (2) accounting fees, (3) fees due the transfer agent, (4) printing expenses, and (5) filing fees.

Exploration expenditures consist of fees to be paid for consulting services connected with exploration, the cost of core drilling, and cost of analyzing core samples. We are not going to spend any sums of money or implement our exploration program until this offering is completed. We have not begun exploration. Consulting fees will not be more than $5,000 per month. We have not selected or identified a consultant at this time. We will not do so until we have completed this offering. Our consultant in consultation with our officers will supervise and contract for our exploration operations through independent contractors. Core drilling will cost $20 per foot. We will drill as many holes as proceeds from the offering will allow. We estimate drilling approximately 9 holes if we raise the minimum; 16 holes if we raise 62.50% of the proceeds; and 21 holes if we raise the maximum. We estimate it will cost up to $4,120 to analyze the core samples.

In addition we have allocated funds for telephone service, mail, stationary, accounting, acquisition of office equipment and supplies, and the salary of one secretary, assuming the maximum number of shares is sold, if needed.

We have allocated a wide range of money for exploration. That is because we do not know how much will ultimately be needed for exploration. If we discover significant quantities of mineral, we will begin technical and economic feasibility studies to determine if we have reserves. Only after we have reserves will we consider developing the property.

No proceeds from the offering will be paid to officers and directors.


DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $200,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the factors considered were:

 

 

-10-


 

*

our lack of operating history

 

*

the proceeds to be raised by the offering

 

*

the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing Stockholders, and

 

*

our relative cash requirements.


DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES

Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.

As of March 31, 2007, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was a deficit of $(17,950) or approximately Nil per share based upon 5,000,000 shares outstanding.

If All of the Shares Are Sold:

Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 7,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $152,050 or approximately $0.02 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.02 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.02 per share.

After completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 28.57% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $200,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 71.43% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $50, or approximately $0.00001 per share.

If 1,500,000 Shares Are Sold:

Upon completion of this offering, in the event 1,500,000 shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,500,000 shares to be outstanding will be $102,050, or approximately $0.02 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.02 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.02 per share.

After completion of this offering, if 1,500,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 23.08% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $150,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 76.92% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $50, or approximately $0.00001 per share.

 

 

-11-


If 1,000,000 Shares Are Sold:

Upon completion of this offering, in the event 1,000,000 shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $52,050, or approximately $0.01 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.01 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.01 per share.

After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 16.67% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $100,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 8.33% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $50, or approximately $0.00001 per share.

We are offering 2,000,000 shares of common stock on a self-underwritten basis, 1,000,000 shares minimum, and 2,000,000 shares maximum basis. The offering price is $0.10 per share. Funds from this offering will be placed in a separate corporate bank account at Washington Mutual, 601 Main Street, Spokane, Washington 99201, telephone (509) 353-4920. The funds will be maintained in the separate bank until we receive a minimum of $100,000 at which time we will remove those funds and use the same as set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. This account is not an escrow, trust or similar account. Your subscription will only be deposited in a separate bank account under our name. As a result, if we are sued for any reason and a judgment is rendered against us, your subscription could be seized in a garnishment proceeding and you could lose your investment, even if we fail to raise the minimum amount in this offering. As a result, there is no assurance that your funds will be returned to you if the minimum offering is not reached. Any funds received by us thereafter will immediately be used by us. If we do not receive the minimum amount of $100,000 within 270 days of the effective date of our registration statement, all funds will be promptly returned to you without a deduction of any kind. During the 270 day period, no funds will be returned to you. You will only receive a refund of your subscription if we have not sold a minimum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock and have not raised a minimum of $100,000 within the 270 day period referred to above. Sold securities are deemed securities which have been paid for with collected funds prior to expiration of 270 days. Collected funds are deemed funds that have been paid by the drawee bank. There are no finders involved in our distribution. Officers, directors, affiliates or anyone involved in marketing the shares will not be allowed to purchase shares in the offering. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the offering. You will only have the right to have your funds returned if we do not raise the minimum amount of the offering or there would be a change in the material terms of the offering. The following are material terms that would allow you to be entitled to a refund of your money:

change in the offering price;

Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a broker/dealer. The conditions are that:

 

1.

The person is not statutorily disqualified, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation; and,

     
 

2.

The person is not compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;

     
 

3.

The person is not at the time of their participation, an associated person of a broker/dealer; and,

     
 

4.

The person meets the conditions of Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (A) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the Issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (B) is not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve (12) months; and (C) do not participate in selling and offering of securities for any Issuer more than once every twelve (12) months other than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).

They are not statutorily disqualified, are not being compensated, and are not associated with a broker/dealer. They are and will continue to be our officers and directors at the end of the offering and have not been during the last twelve months and are currently not broker/dealers or associated with broker/dealers. They will not participate in selling and offering securities for any issuer more than once every twelve months.

Only after our registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, do we intend to advertise, through tombstones, and hold investment meetings in various states where the offering will be registered. We will not utilize the Internet to advertise our offering. Our officers and directors will also distribute the prospectus to potential investors at the investment meetings, to business associates and to their friends and relatives who are interested in us and a possible investment in the offering. No shares purchased in this offering will be subject to any kind of lock-up agreement.

Management and affiliates thereof will not purchase shares in this offering to reach the minimum.

We intend to sell our shares outside the United States.

Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act - Penny Stock Disclosure

Our shares are penny stocks covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to resell your shares.

Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a dealer's "spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealer's duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. While Section 15g and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to broker/dealers, they do not apply to us.

Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.

Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.

Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales person' s compensation.

Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.

Again, the foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner whatsoever. Again, the application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares because many brokers are unwilling to buy, sell or trade penny stocks as a result of the additional sales practices imposed upon them which are described in this section.

BUSINESS

General

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 30, 2007. We are an exploration stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search of mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. We intend to conduct exploration activities on one property. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at The Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511 and our business office is located at 20 Carl Crescent, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M1W 3R2. Our telephone number is (877) 536-0333. This is our mailing address as well.

There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the property and further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility is determined.

We have no plans to change the company's business activities or to combine with another business, and are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause our plans to change.

We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion and rely upon the sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund operations.

Background

In June 2007, Vladimir Vaskevich, our president and a member of the board of directors acquired one mineral property containing two, one unit claims and one, one cell claim in British Columbia, Canada. British Columbia allows a mineral explorer to claim a portion of available Crown lands as its exclusive area for exploration by registering the claim area on the British Columbia Mineral Titles Online system. The Mineral Titles Online system is the Internet-based British Columbia system used to register, maintain and manage the claims. A cell is an area which appears electronically on the British Columbia Internet Minerals Titles Online Grid and was formerly called a claim. A claim is a grant from the Crown of the available land within the cells to the holder to remove and sell minerals. The online grid is the geographical basis for the cell. Formerly, the claim was established by sticking stakes in the ground to define the area and then recording the staking information. The staking system is now antiquated in British Columbia and has been replaced with the online grid. The property was registered by Lloyd Brewer of Madman Mining, a non affiliated third party. Lloyd Brewer of Madman Mining is a self-employed contract staker and field worker residing in British Columbia.

is now antiquated in British Columbia and has been replaced with the online grid. The fees would be for incorporation of a British Columbia corporation and legal and accounting fees related to the incorporation. In June 2007, Mr. Vladimir Vaskevich executed a declaration of trust acknowledging that he holds the property in trust for us and he will not deal with the property in any way, except to transfer the property to us. In the event that Mr. Vaskevich transfers title to a third party, the declaration of trust will be used as evidence that he breached his fiduciary duty to us. Mr. Vaskevich has not provided us with a signed or executed bill of sale in our favor. Mr. Vaskevich will issue a bill of sale to a subsidiary corporation to be formed by us should mineralized material be discovered on the property. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal.

Under British Columbia law, title to British Columbia mining claims can only be held by British Columbia residents. In the case of corporations, title must be held by a British Columbia corporation. In order to comply with the law we would have to incorporate a British Columbia wholly owned subsidiary corporation and obtain audited financial statements. We believe those costs would be a waste of our money at this time.

In the event that we find mineralized material and the mineralized material can be economically extracted, we will form a wholly owned British Columbia subsidiary corporation and Mr. Vaskevich will convey title to the property to the wholly owned subsidiary corporation. Should Mr. Vaskevich transfer title to another person and that deed is recorded before we record our documents, that other person will have superior title and we will have none. If that event occurs, we will have to cease or suspend operations. However, Mr. Vaskevich will be liable to us for monetary damages for breaching the terms of his oral agreement with us to transfer his title to a subsidiary corporation we create. To date we have not performed any work on the property. All Canadian lands and minerals which have not been granted to private persons are owned by either the federal or provincial governments in the name of Her Majesty Elizabeth II. Ungranted minerals are commonly known as Crown minerals. Ownership rights to Crown minerals are vested by the Canadian Constitution in the province where the minerals are located. In the case of the Company property, that is the province of British Columbia.

In the 19th century the practice of reserving the minerals from fee simple Crown grants was established. Legislation now ensures that minerals are reserved from Crown land dispositions. The result is that the Crown is the largest mineral owner in Canada, both as the fee simple owner of Crown lands and through mineral reservations in Crown grants. Most privately held mineral titles are acquired directly from the Crown. The Company property is one such acquisition. Accordingly, fee simple title to the Company property resides with the Crown.

The property is comprised of mining leases issued pursuant to the British Columbia Mineral Act. The lessee has exclusive rights to mine and recover all of the minerals contained within the surface boundaries of the lease continued vertically downward. The Crown does not have the right to reclaim provided a minimum fee of CDN$100 is paid timely. The Crown could reclaim the property in an eminent domain proceeding, but would have to compensate the lessee for the value of the claim if it exercised the right of eminent domain. It is highly unlikely that the Crown will exercise the power of eminent domain. In general, where eminent domain has been exercised it has been in connection with incorporating the property into a provincial park.

The property is unencumbered and there are no competitive conditions which affect the property. Further, there is no insurance covering the property and we believe that no insurance is necessary since the property is unimproved and contains no buildings or improvements.

To date we have not performed any work on the property. We are presently in the exploration stage and we cannot guarantee that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in the property until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.

There are no native land claims that affect title to the property. We have no plans to try to interest other companies in the property if mineralization is found. If mineralization is found, we will try to develop the property ourselves.

Location and Access

The South Rossland Gold Project is located approximately 440 miles by road from Vancouver, B.C. and south - southwest of Trail, B.C. The property is located within the Trail Creek Mining Division.

Good road access to the northern area of the claim is provided by a paved secondary road (the historic Dewdney Trunk Road) which passes approximately 100 yards north of the property's northern boundary. Secondary gravel roads bisect the southern part of the property and a number of rough bulldozer logging trails provide access throughout the south and central areas of the property. Portions of the southern area of the property have been logged within the past five or so years.

Physiography

The property is situated within the Columbia River Valley area of the Monashee Mountains in the south-central interior of British Columbia.

Elevations within the property range from 4,000 feet at the northern most point of the property to 3,400 feet along the east central claim boundary.

The vegetation is sparse within most areas of the property and consists mainly of moderately spaced second and third growth pine and fir trees. Portions of the area have been logged within the past five years and are partially overgrown with alder and fireweed. Emissions, containing acids and other toxic chemicals, originating from the Teck-Cominco Smelter complex during most of the 1900s have left much of the area devoid of underbrush vegetation. The climate features warm summers and snowy winters. Average yearly precipitation is 20 inches. A snow pack of 4-5 feet begins to accumulate in November and lingers in places into late April. The moderate climate in the project area allows for exploration approximately eight months during the year.

Water for all phases of exploration and development is readily available in numerous sources within and immediately adjoining the property.

History

The property shows signs of previous exploration activities. No known mineralized material exists on the property.

Geology and Mineralization

The Rossland area is underlain by sedimentary and volcanic rocks which have been intruded and metamorphosed by igneous rocks.

The oldest formation is the Mount Roberts Formation (Pennsylvanian) which are sediments consisting of slates, limestones, quartzites and greenstones mostly andesites and banded tuffs.

This in turn is overlain by the Rossland Formation (Lower Jurassic) which consists mainly of lava flows of andesitic to basaltic composition, augite porphyry, and bodies of tuff and argillite. The above rocks have all been intruded by a number of different intrusions in the following sequence:

 

Ultrabasic Intrusions

 

(Lower Cretaceous)

serpentinized peridotite

 

Rossland Monzonite

 

(Lower Cretaceous)

monzonite

 

Nelson Plutonic rocks

 

(Lower Cretaceous)

granite and other phases

 

Coryell Plutonic rocks

(Tertiary)

 

alkali granite and syenite

 

Sheppard Intrusions

 

(Tertiary)

 

alkali granite and syenite

Most of all these formations in turn have been subjected to faulting and the intrusion of numerous dykes of various compositions from monzonite to basalts. In general terms these dykes are steeply dipping and trend to the north.

Supplies

Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, such as dynamite, and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials. We will attempt to locate products, equipment and materials after this offering is complete. If we cannot find the products and equipment we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products and equipment we need.

Description of Property

Other than our interest in the property, we own no plants or other property.

Our Proposed Exploration Program

Our exploration target is to find an ore body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the property contains reserves. We have not selected a consultant as of the date of this prospectus and will not do so until our offering is successfully completed, if that occurs, of which there is no assurance. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we do not find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.

In addition, we may not have enough money to complete our exploration of the property. If it turns out that we have not raised enough money to complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or loans. At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional money and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional money in the future. If we need additional money and cannot raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.

We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.

The property is undeveloped raw land. Exploration and surveying has not been initiated and will not be initiated until we raise money in this offering. That is because we do not have money to start exploration. Once the offering is concluded, we intend to start exploration operations. To our knowledge, the property has never been mined. Before minerals retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We cannot predict what that will be until we find mineralized material.

 

 

-24-


We do not know if we will find mineralized material. We believe that activities occurring on adjoining properties are not material to our activities. The reason is that whatever is located under adjoining properties may or may not be located under our property.

We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the property.

We intend to implement an exploration program which consists of core sampling. Core sampling is the process of drilling holes to a depth of up to 300 feet in order to extract a sample of earth. Mr. Vaskevich, after confirming with our consultant, will determine where drilling will occur on the property. The samples will be tested to determine if mineralized material is located on the property. Based upon the tests of the core samples, we will determine if we will terminate operations; proceed with additional exploration of the property; or develop the property. The proceeds from this offering are designed to only fund the costs of core sampling and testing. We intend to take our core samples to analytical chemists, geochemists and registered assayers located in Vancouver, British Columbia. We have not selected any of the foregoing as of the date of this prospectus. We will only make the selections in the event we raise the minimum amount of this offering.

We estimate the cost of drilling will be $20 per foot drilled. The amount of drilling will be predicated upon the amount of money raised in this offering. If we raise the minimum amount of money, we will drill approximately 2,700 linear feet or 9 holes to a depth of 300 feet. Assuming that we raise the maximum amount of money, we will drill approximately 6,500 linear feet, or up to 21 holes to a depth of 300 feet. We estimate that it will take up to three months to drill 21 holes to a depth of 300 feet each. We will pay a consultant up to a maximum of $5,000 per month for his services during the three month period or a total of $15,000. The total cost for analyzing the core samples will be $4,120. We will begin exploration activity ninety days after this public offering is completed, weather permitting.

The breakdowns were made in consultation with Mr. Brewer.

We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves through the use of a consultant. We have no plans to interest other companies in the property if we do not find mineralized material.

If we are unable to complete exploration because we do not have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything else.

We cannot provide you with a more detailed discussion of how our exploration program will work and what we expect will be our likelihood of success. That is because we have a piece of raw land and we intend to look for mineralized material. We may or may not find any mineralized material. We hope we do, but it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such an event.

We do not have any plan to make our company to revenue generation. That is because we have not found economic mineralization yet and it is impossible to project revenue generation from nothing.

Competitive Factors

The gold mining industry is fragmented, that is there are many, many gold prospectors and producers, small and large. We do not compete with anyone. That is because there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from the property. We will either find mineralized materials on the property or not. If we do not, we will cease or suspend operations. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold mining market. Readily available gold markets exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of gold. Therefore, we will be able to sell any gold that we are able to recover.

Regulations

Our property is registered on British Columbia Mineral Titles Online system. We are also subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration Code which tells us how and where we can explore for minerals.

This act sets forth rules for

 

*

locating claims

 

*

posting claims

 

*

working claims

 

*

reporting work performed

We can explore for minerals on the property and are in compliance with the Code rules and regulations. The Code rules and regulations will not adversely affect our operations.

Environmental Law

We are also subject to the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia. This code deals with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. Its goals are to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting:

 

1.

health and safety

 

2.

archaeological sites

 

3.

exploration access

We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the property.

We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development is warranted on the property, will file final plans of operation before we start any mining operations. We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.

 

 

-26-


We are in compliance with the Code and will continue to comply with the Code in the future. We believe that compliance with the Code will not adversely affect our business operations in the future.

Exploration stage companies have no need to discuss environmental matters, except as they relate to exploration activities. The only "cost and effect" of compliance with environmental regulations in British Columbia is returning the surface to its previous condition upon abandonment of the property. We cannot speculate on those costs in light of our ongoing plans for exploration. When we are ready to drill, we will notify the B.C. Inspector of Mines. He will require a bond to be put in place to assure that the property will be restored to its original condition. We have estimated the cost of restoring the property to be between $3,000 to $9,000, depending upon the number of holes drilled.

Employees

We intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties.

Employees and Employment Agreements

At present, we have no employees, other than our officers and directors. Our officers and directors are part-time employees and will devote about 10% of their time to our operations. Our officers and directors do not have an employment agreement with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our officers and directors. Our officers and directors will handle our administrative duties. Because our officers and directors are inexperienced with exploration, they will hire qualified persons to perform the surveying, exploration, and excavating of our property. As of today, we have not looked for or talked to any geologists or engineers who will perform work for us in the future. We do not intend to do so until we complete this offering.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

Plan of Operation

We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.

 

 

-27-


Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach this point. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals found on the property. That cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. If we raise the minimum amount of money in this offering, we believe it will last twelve months.

We will be conducting research in the form of exploration on our property. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this prospectus. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months.

Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the property contains reserves. We have not selected a consultant as of the date of this prospectus and will not do so until our offering is successfully completed, if that occurs, of which there is no assurance. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we don' t find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.

If we raise the minimum amount, we will have enough money to complete our exploration program.

We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.

The property is undeveloped raw land. Exploration and surveying has not been initiated and will not be initiated until we raise money in this offering. That is because we do not have money to start exploration. Once the offering is concluded, we intend to start exploration operations. To our knowledge, the property has never been mined. Future fees would be for incorporation of a British Columbia corporation and legal and accounting fees related to the incorporation. In June 2007, Mr. Vaskevich executed a declaration of trust acknowledging that he holds the property in trust for us and he will not deal with the property in any way, except to transfer the property to us. In the event that Mr. Vaskevich transfers title to a third party, the declaration of trust will be used as evidence that he breached his fiduciary duty to us. Mr. Vaskevich has not provided us with a signed or executed bill of sale in our favor. Mr. Vaskevich will issue a bill of sale to a subsidiary corporation to be formed by us should mineralized material be discovered on the property. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal before minerals retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We cannot predict what that will be until we find mineralized material. Mr. Vaskevich does not have a right to sell the property to anyone. He may only transfer the property to us.

 

 

-28-


He may not demand payment for the claim when he transfers them to us. Further, Mr. Vaskevich does not have the right to sell the claim at a profit to us if mineralized material is discovered on the property. Mr. Vaskevich must transfer title to us, without payment of any kind, regardless of what is or is not discovered on the property.

We do not know if we will find mineralized material. We believe that activities occurring on adjoining properties are not material to our activities. The reason is that whatever is located under adjoining properties may or may not be located under the property. We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the property.

We intend to implement an exploration program which consists of core sampling. Core sampling is the process of drilling holes to a depth of up to 300 feet in order to extract samples of earth. Mr. Vaskevich, after confirming with our consultant, will determine where drilling will occur on the property. Mr. Vaskevich will not receive fees for his services. The samples will be tested to determine if mineralized material is located on the property. Based upon the tests of the core samples, we will determine if we will terminate operations, proceed with additional exploration of the property, or develop the property. The proceeds from this offering are designed to only fund the costs of core sampling and testing. We intend to take our core samples to analytical chemists, geochemists and registered assayers located in British Columbia. We have not selected any of the foregoing as of the date of this prospectus. We will only make the selections in the event we raise the minimum amount of this offering.

We estimate the cost of drilling will be $20 per foot drilled. The amount of drilling will be predicated upon the amount of money raised in this offering. If we raise the minimum amount of money, we will drill approximately 2,700 linear feet or 9 holes to a depth of 300 feet. Assuming that we raise the maximum amount of money, we will drill approximately 6,500 linear feet, or up to 21 holes to a depth of 300 feet. We estimate that it will take up to three months to drill 21 holes to a depth of 300 feet each. We will pay a consultant up to a maximum of $5,000 per month for his services during the three month period or a total of $15,000. The total cost for analyzing the core samples will be $4,120. We will begin exploration activity ninety days after this public offering is completed, weather permitting.

We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves through the use of consultants. We have no plans to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized material. To pay the consultant and develop the reserves, we will have to raise additional funds through a second public offering, a private placement or through loans. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no plans to raise additional funds other than the funds being raised in this public offering. Further, there is no assurance we will be able to raise any additional funds even if we discover mineralized material and a have a defined ore body.

We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.

Milestones

The following are our milestones:

 

1.

0-90 days after completion of the offering, retain our consultant to manage the exploration of the property. Cost - $5,000 to $15,000. Time of retention 0-90 days. To carry out this milestone, we must hire a consultant. There are a number of mining consultants located in Vancouver, British Columbia that we intend to interview.

     
 

2.

90-180 days after completion of the offering. - Core drilling. Core drilling will cost $20 per foot. The number of holes to be drilled will be dependent upon the amount raised from the offering. Core drilling will be subcontracted to non-affiliated third parties. Cost $54,380 to $130,880. Time to conduct the core drilling - 90 days. To carry out this milestone we must conduct the core drilling. The driller will be retained by our consultant.

     
 

3.

180-210 days after completion of the offering. Have an independent third party analyze the samples from the core drilling. Determine if mineralized material is below the ground. If mineralized material is found, we will attempt to define the ore body. We estimate that it will cost $4,120 to analyze the core samples and will take 30 days. Delivery of the samples to the independent third party is necessary to carry out this milestone.

     
 

4.

210-270 days after completion of the offering. If we discover significant quantities of mineral, we will have technical and economic feasibility studies to determine if we have reserves. These studies will be performed by third party professors. Cost - $5,000 to $10,000.

The cost of the subcontractors is included in cost of the exploration services to be performed as set forth in the Use of Proceeds section and the Business section. All funds for the foregoing activities will be obtained from this public offering.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.

To become profitable and competitive, we conduct research and exploration of our property before we start production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases. We believe that the funds raised from this offering, whether it be the minimum amount or the maximum amount, will allow us to operate for one year.

 

 

-30-


We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business. Whatever money we do raise will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans.

At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Whether we raise the minimum amount or maximum amount, it will last a year. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

We have the right to explore one property which consists of three claims comprising a total of 177.9 acres. The property is registered in our president' s name and we will begin our exploration plan upon completion of this offering. We expect to start exploration operations within 90 days of completing this offering. As of the date of this prospectus we have yet to begin operations and therefore we have yet to generate any revenues.

Since inception, we have issued 5,000,000 shares of our common stock and received $50.

In March 2007, we issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers and directors pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1993. The purchase price of the shares was $50. This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares.

As of March 31, 2007, our total assets were $50 consisting entirely of cash and our total liabilities were $18,000. We need $70,000 to remain operational during the next twelve months and to complete exploration of the property.

Background of Officers and Directors

Vladimir Vaskevich has been our president, principal executive officer, treasurer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and a director since March 30, 2007. From January 2006 till January 2007, Mr. Vaskevich worked as a realtor for Prudential Sterling Realty, in Burnaby, British Columbia. From January 2001 to January 2006, Mr. Vaskevich served as president and operations director for Centre City Health Recovery Inc. in Mississauga, Ontario. From April 2001 to September 2004, Mr. Vaskevich was executive vice president for Metro Assessment, Functional Capacity and Psychological Examination Centre in Toronto, Ontario. From 1998 to January 2001, he served as wholesale sales manager at Valvo Auto Sales in Toronto, Ontario. Other than our board of directors, Mr. Vaskevich has not been a member of the board of directors of any corporations during the last five years.

Mikhail Ratchkovski has been our secretary and a director since March 30, 2007. Since January 2005, Mr. Ratchkovski has been employed by Pacific Quorum Properties located in Vancouver as property manager, where he was responsible for overseeing stratified residential accounts, preparation of yearly maintenance and capital project budgets, hiring of staff for strata buildings, and conducting monthly and annual general meetings for the Stratas. From January 1993 to January 2005, Mr. Ratchkovski was employed with the Resort Municipality of Whistler in a Bylaw Services where he was responsible for compliance with city codes, sign permits and issuance of business licenses. Other than our board of directors, Mr. Ratchkovski has not been a member of the board of directors of any corporations during the last five years.

During the past five years, Messrs. Vaskevich and Ratchkovski have not been the subject of the following events:

1. Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which Messrs. Vaskevich and Ratchkovski were a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.

-26-

An order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, or any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting Messrs. Vaskevich's and Ratchkovski's involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.

4. Found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Future Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

We do not have an audit committee charter, nor do we have an audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we are only beginning our commercial operations, at the present time we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

Conflicts of Interest

We believe that Messrs. Vaskevich and Ratchkovski will not be subject to conflicts of interest. No policy has been implemented or will be implemented to address conflicts of interest.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following table sets forth the compensation paid by us from inception on March 30, 2007 through March 31, 2007, for each or our officers and directors. This information includes the dollar value of base salaries, bonus awards and number of stock options granted, and certain other compensation, if any. The compensation discussed addresses all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to named executive officers.

Our directors do not receive any compensation for serving as members of the board of directors.

There are no other stock option plans, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and directors other than as described herein.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.

As of the date hereof, we have not entered into employment contracts with any of our officers and do not intend to enter into any employment contracts until such time as is profitable to do so.

Indemnification

Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The persons named above are "promoters" as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Messrs. Vaskevich and Ratchkovski are the only "promoters" of our company.

Future Sales by Existing Stockholders

2,500,000 shares of common stock were issued to Mr. Vaskevich, one of our officers and directors in March 2007 and 2,500,000 shares of common stock were issued to Mr. Ratchkovski, one of our officers and directors in March 2007. The 5,000,000 shares are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Rule 144 provides that a person may not sell more than 1% of the total outstanding shares in any three month period and the sales must be sold either in a brokers transaction or in a transaction directly with a market maker.

Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.

A total of 5,000,000 shares of our stock are currently owned by our officers and directors. They will likely sell a portion of their stock if the market price goes above $0.00001. If they do sell their stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.

 

 

-35-


Because our officers and directors will control us after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold, your ability to cause a change in the course of our operations is eliminated. As such, the value attributable to the right to vote is gone. This could result in a reduction in value to the shares you own because of the ineffective voting power.


DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our common stock:

 

*

have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors;

 

*

are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;

 

*

do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and

 

*

are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.

Non-cumulative Voting

Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, present stockholders will own approximately 71.42% of our outstanding shares.

Cash Dividends

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

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. The terms of the preferred shares are at the discretion of the board of directors. Currently no preferred shares are issued and outstanding.

 

 

-36-


Anti-Takeover Provisions

There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in control. 78.378 through 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes relates to control share acquisitions that may delay to make more difficult acquisitions or changes in our control, however, they only apply when we have 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in the state of Nevada appearing on our stock ledger and we do business in this state directly or through an affiliated corporation. Neither of the foregoing events seems likely to occur. Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders and because this offering will not be made in the state of Nevada, no shares will be sold to Nevada residents. Further, we do not do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate corporation and we do not intend to do business in the state of Nevada in the future. Accordingly, there are no anti-takeover provisions that have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.

Reports

After we complete this offering, we will not be required to furnish you with an annual report. Further, we will not voluntarily send you an annual report. We will be required to file reports with the SEC under section 15(d) of the Securities Act. The reports will be filed electronically. The reports we will be required to file are Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and 8-K. You may read copies of any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet site that will contain copies of the reports we file electronically. The address for the Internet site is www.sec.gov.

Stock Transfer Agent

Our stock transfer agent for our securities will be Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 500 East Warm Springs Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119 and its telephone number is (702) 361-3033.


CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

On March 30, 2007, we issued a total of 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Vaskevich, our president and a member of the board of directors. This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares of common stock in the amount of $25. We also issued a total of 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Ratchkovski, our secretary and a member of the board of directors. This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares of common stock in the amount of $25.

Mr. Vaskevich also caused the property, comprised of one claim, to be registered at a cost of $100. The claim was registered by Mr. Vaskevich for the $100. Mr. Vaskevich will transfer the claim to us if mineralized material is found on the claim. Mr. Vaskevich will not receive anything of value for the transfer and we will not pay any consideration of any kind for the transfer of the claim.

Messrs. Vaskevich and Ratchkovski are our only promoters. They have not received or will they receive anything of value from us, directly or indirectly in their capacities as promoters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Riverdale Mining Inc. as of March 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from March 30, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Riverdale Mining Inc. as of March 31, 2007 and the results of its operations, stockholders equity and its cash flows for the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding the resolution of this issue are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

RIVERDALE MINING INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2007

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Riverdale Mining Inc. (hereinafter "the Company") was incorporated on March 30, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties. The Company maintains offices in Reno, Nevada and in Toronto, Canada. The Company's fiscal year end is March 31.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Accounting Method
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Exploration Stage Activities
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company will actively prepare the site for extraction and enter a development stage.

Foreign Currency Valuation
Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. The net effect of exchange differences arising from currency translation will be disclosed as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the results of operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment if Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is effective for the Company at inception. These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

At March 31, 2007, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets." In complying with this standard, the Company will review its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company will determine impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. The Company currently does not have any long-lived assets and therefore no adjustments are needed at March 31, 2007.

Exploration Costs
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company expenses exploration costs as incurred.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.

At March 31, 2007, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $6,100, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at March 31, 2007.

At March 31, 2007, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18,000 which expire in 2032.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues, has incurred a net loss of $18,00 for the year ended March 31, 2007 and has an accumulated deficit of $18,000. These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

The Company's management believes that significant and imminent private placements of stock and continuing contracted agreements will generate sufficient cash for the Company to continue to operate based on current expense projections. The Company anticipates it will require approximately $70,000 to continue operations in the fiscal year 2007. Management plans to sell stock through a public offering.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash and payables approximate their fair value.

Accounting Pronouncements
In February, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (hereinafter SFAS No. 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

In September, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87,88,106, and 132(R)" (hereinafter SFAS No. 158"). This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded statues of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not for profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a not for profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The adoption of this statement had no immediate material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is encouraged. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (hereinafter "FIN 48"), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its financial reporting, and the Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its disclosure requirements.

NOTE 3 - MINING CLAIMS

In March 2007, the Company, through its president, acquired, for $10,000, 100% of the rights, title and interest in three mining claims in the Trail Creek Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada. Although the claims are recorded in Vladimir Vaskevich name for tax purposes, title to the claims has been conveyed to the Company via an unrecorded deed. The Company has assigned no value to these claims, as there is no evidence showing proven and probable reserves. The amount owing for the acquisition is included in accounts payable in the financial statements.

NOTE 4 - PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value preferred stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the preferred stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company. There are no preferred shares issued.

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

On March 30, 2007, a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to our president and secretary only. There was no public offering of any securities. The aforementioned shares were issued for cash on hand of $50 or $0.00001 per share. These shares were issued pursuant to exemption from registration contained in Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Mining Industry
The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties. At present, there are no feasibility studies establishing proven and probable reserves.

Although the minerals exploration and mining industries are inherently speculative and subject to complex environmental regulations, the Company is unaware of any pending litigation or of any specific past or prospective matters which could impair the value of its mining claims.

Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission
The Company is presently undertaking the required steps to register as a publicly traded company. In this regard, the Company has signed a contract with a securities attorney to assist in this matter. The total fees to be paid to the attorney amount to $15,000. Of this amount, $5,000 was payable when attorney services began and is recorded as legal fees in the accompanying financial statements and included in accounts payable. The remaining $10,000 will be due when the Company's registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company also engaged independent auditors to conduct an audit on our financial statements for $3,000 which is recorded in these financial statements as an accounts payable. An additional $10,000 was advanced to our geologist for the staking our the mining claims.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company occupies office space provided our president at no charge. The value of this space is not considered materially significant for financial reporting purposes. Mr. Vaskevich, our president, has advanced monies to the Company to pay the initial legal fees, accounting fees and to purchase the mining claims in the amount of $18,000. The funds advanced were subsequent to the date of our year end. The loan is non-interest bearing and is to be repaid out of the proceeds from our public offering upon its effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS

A.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 
 

(1)

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

 
   

(a)

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

 
   

(b)

reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the calculation of the Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and

 
   

(c)

include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution.

 
 

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 
 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


 

(4)

For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 
   

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A ( 230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

 

-52-


 

(5)

For the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities:

 
   

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 
   

(a)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 of this chapter;

 
   

(b)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 
   

(c)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 
   

(d)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

B.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
