HISTORICAL STOCK DIVIDENDS IN RESPECT OF BOTH THE “BOUSE” AND “SOUTH COPPERSTONE” GOLD EXPLORATION PROPERTIES –

Stockholders of the Company as at November 7, 2005 received an amount of 899,967,718 (Eight hundred and ninety nine million nine hundred and sixty seven thousand seven hundred and eighteen) shares in Bouse Mining Holdings plc as a Stock Dividend. These shares are being held "on book" for and on behalf of these stockholders. This represents an amount of 40.9% of the Issued Share Capital of Bouse Mining Holdings plc.

Stockholders of the Company as at December 2, 2005 received an amount of 899,581,199 (Eight hundred and ninety nine million five hundred and eighty one thousand one hundred and ninety nine) shares in Copperstone Mining Holdings plc as a Stock Dividend. These shares are being held "on book" for and on behalf of these stockholders. This represented 40.9% of the Issued Share Capital of Copperstone Mining Holdings plc.

The Company holds full and accurate records of the stockholders eligible for both of these aforesaid Stock Dividends and as at the aforesaid “Record Dates” for these Dividend declarations.

On February 1, 2008, the “Bouse” Gold Exploration properties and interests held in Bouse Mining Holdings plc were transferred into a new Corporation, incorporated in Wyoming, named “Bouse Gold, Inc.”.

On February 1, 2008, the “South Copperstone” Gold Exploration properties and interests held in South Copperstone Mining Holdings plc were transferred into a new Corporation, incorporated in Wyoming, named “South Copperstone, Inc.”. It was considered more advantageous to hold these interests in Corporations incorporated in the United States of America compared to them being held in Foreign Corporations.

All stockholders are guaranteed 1 (one) share of Common Stock in Bouse Gold, Inc. for every 1 (one) Ordinary share held in Bouse Mining Holdings plc.

All stockholders are guaranteed 1 (one) share of Common Stock in South Copperstone, Inc. for every 1 (one) Ordinary share held in South Copperstone Mining Holdings plc.

On March 15, 2009, Bouse Gold, Inc. and South Copperstone, Inc. became delinquent with the Secretary of State in Wyoming due to nonpayment of State Taxes and were administratively dissolved. The Company is now ensuring that the outstanding State Taxes are paid in respect of both of these Corporations and ensuring that both of these Corporations are reinstated without delay. The Authorized Share Capital of both of these Corporations is being increased to an amount of 2,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock with the same Par Value per share of Common Stock.

Stockholders are assured that their holdings in Bouse Gold, Inc. and in South Copperstone are secure and that both of these Corporations are being restored to good standing with the Wyoming Secretary of State.

The cash costs incurred in effecting such a distribution of these shares of Bouse Gold, Inc. and in South Copperstone, Inc. to eligible stockholders would be extremely high and the Company is not in financial position to undertake this distribution until such time as the Company has raised funds. There is no guarantee that the Company will be in a position to raise the required funds. The Company incurred very significant financial costs and many hundreds of hours of both Management and Professional Advisors’ time in order to effect the full, complete and accurate distribution of the shares of Hunt Gold Corporation Common Stock to the Company’s eligible stockholders thus completing the previous 3 (Three) Stock Distributions to the Company’s stockholders in 2008 and in 2009.

The fact that the Company holds full and accurate records of the stockholders eligible for both of these aforesaid Stock Dividends and as at the aforesaid “Record Dates” for these Dividend declarations means that should a buyer for the “Bouse” and/or “South Copperstone” Gold Exploration Properties desire to acquire 100% (one hundred percent) of these Corporations; they would be able to make a direct offer to these eligible stockholders without requiring the Company’s participation and assistance in this endeavor.

The Company is prepared to furnish the full details of those eligible stockholders who hold stock in both “Bouse” and in “South Copperstone” obtained by themselves through these historical Stock Dividends declared by the Company; to any and all suitable and qualified prospective purchasers of these two Gold Exploration Property Corporations. This is to enable these prospective buyers to directly approach these eligible stockholders with a view to purchasing their stock in either one or in both of these Gold Exploration Property Corporations.

A sale of 100% (one hundred percent) of both Bouse Gold, Inc. and South Copperstone, Inc. would then result in these outstanding Stock Dividends being paid to eligible stockholders by any buyer of these interests.

There is no guarantee that the Company would be able to secure a successful and acceptable sale of these Corporations.

CURRENT STATUS OF THE “BOUSE” AND “SOUTH COPPERSTONE” GOLD EXPLORATION PROPERTIES

Unpatented mining claims are renewed annually with the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and filings and claim maintenance fees are due on September 1 of each year for the following year.   At September 1, 2009, the Bouse Project was comprised of 26 unpatented mining claims (14 lode claims and 12 placer claims); the South Copperstone Project was comprised of 37 unpatented mining claims (1 lode claim and 36 placer claims).

It was determined that both the Bouse and South Copperstone gold properties had primarily lode gold deposit potential, and the placer claims were not renewed for 2010.   Lode claims cover gold that is found in rock in place, as contrasted with placer claims which cover gold found in unconsolidated stream sediments and gravel.  Virtually all known past gold production from the Bouse and Copperstone Mining.

Districts has been from lode deposits rather than placer deposits.  This is consistent with other Arizona and Nevada gold production (for example, Nevada’s prolific Carlin Trend gold production has almost all come from areas covered by lode claims).
 
Beginning on September 5, 2009, a number of the lode claims were amended or relocated, and new lode claims have since been staked over certain areas formerly covered by placer claims.  The Company believes that the areas currently covered by lode claims include all former drill holes that encountered gold within the Company’s existing Bouse and South Copperstone project areas.  More details will be disclosed concerning the new lode claims upon completion of staking, which is expected within the next 90 days."

NO LITIGATION PENDING OR THREATENED AGAINST THE COMPANY, ITS SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES OR ITS “BOUSE” OR “SOUTH COPPERSTONE” GOLD EXPLORATION PROPERTIES

The Management of the Company is not aware of any existing, threatened or pending litigation against either the Company, its subsidiary Companies or against either of the two remaining Gold Exploration Properties.

DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT

The Company’s sole Officer who serves as the Company’s Chairman, President, Treasurer and Secretary is Mr. Peter James Bezzano. Mr. Alan Santini resigned as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer on October 27, 2008 and as the Company’s Secretary on March 30, 2009.

Mr. Peter James Bezzano continues to hold an amount of 500,000,000 (Five hundred million) restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock and has not to date, disposed of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

10


Mr. Peter James Bezzano has not received any financial remuneration of whatsoever nature from the Company nor has he charged any expenses or costs of whatsoever nature to the Company since his appointment to the Company.

Mr. Alan Santini, the Company’s former President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary received an amount of 1,500,000,000 (One billion five hundred million) restricted shares of Common Stock as a Signing Bonus. Mr. Santini attempted to return these shares of Common Stock to the Company for cancellation. This cancellation was not effected by the former Transfer Agent.

The Company has subsequently elected to allow Mr. Santini to retain these 1.5 Billion shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Both Mr. Bezzano and Mr. Santini have their shares of the Company’s Common Stock held “on book” by the Transfer Agent and remain restricted as at November 24, 2009.

Mr. Santini had acquired an amount of 900,000,000 (Nine hundred million) “free trading” shares of the Company’s Common Stock and has not to date, disposed to of any of his shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

CANCELLATION OF THIRD PARTY LOAN AGREEMENT

On February 2, 2009 the Company secured an initial interest free loan in the amount of US$500,000 (Five hundred thousand Dollars) to be used solely for the repurchase of shares of the Company's Common Stock.

Due to the termination of discussions in respect of the Company’s proposed purchase of Uranium Mining properties, it was mutually agreed that this Loan facility would be cancelled on April 30, 2009.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS ON THE PROPOSED SALE OF THE COMPANY’S INTERESTS IN THE “BOUSE” AND “SOUTH COPPERSTONE” GOLD EXPLORATION PROPERTIES AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF A SUCCESSFUL SALE

The Company has two remaining assets, namely it interests in the “Bouse” and “South Copperstone” Gold Exploration properties.

Management of the Company is now actively seeking a buyer for these two Gold Exploration Properties, which if successfully concluded, could result in:

-  
The settlement of the historical and outstanding Stock Dividends; and
-  
Create a liquid trading environment for stockholders to trade in their shares of the Company’s Common Stock; and
-  
Realize a very significant financial gain for the Company making the Company an extremely attractive take –over target; and
-  
Allow Management to remunerate its professional advisors in order for them to complete the Company’s outstanding filings to make the Company current in its reporting; and
-  
Apply for reinstatement to the OTC Bulletin Board Market once it was current in its filings; and
-  
Raise additional cash through traditional methods which it is currently precluded from doing so due to it being delinquent in its filings; and
-  
Provide funds to facilitate the creation of a Corporate web site and to retain Investor Relations Consultants to interact with Company stockholders; and
-  
Could facilitate the payment of a large extraordinary Dividend to the Company’s stockholders.

These above-mentioned objectives by the Company’s Management will not be possible should the Company fail to secure to buyer for its interests in either the “Bouse” or the “South Copperstone” Gold Exploration Properties.

11


The Company’s Management is not prepared to comment at this time on its chances of securing a buyer for either of the “Bouse” or “South Copperstone” Gold Exploration Properties, or both; but is prepared to state that it is not an unlikely possibility at this point, with the price of Gold trading at all time record highs at this date.

The Company financial situation in the 2009 year rendered the Company’s Management incapable of employing personnel to interact with its stockholders and to produce costly announcements and other reporting to its stockholders. This has led to extreme negativity and hostility towards the Company and its Management in the financial community. This is a situation which the Company’s Management would like to see rectified in the near future.

Management of the Company is not prepared to disclose as to what price it is seeking for the Company’s interests in the “Bouse” or “South Copperstone” Gold Exploration Properties; nor the provision of any disclosure whatsoever as to the sale terms and conditions which it would be prepared to accept from any buyer of these Interests. The Company’s Management is of the opinion that Disclosure of this information would not be in the interest of the Company’s stockholders at this time. Should these circumstances change, Company Management will issue some guidance to its stockholders in respect of the pricing of these proposed transactions.

Management wishes to stress that there is no guarantee that a suitable and qualified buyer for either “Bouse” or “South Copperstone” will be found and that the price of Gold is extremely volatile and may not continue to trade at these current high levels and that Gold prices could drop in value very rapidly in the immediate to near term.

Management of the Company does not wish to; and is in no position to comment on the value of its interest in either the “Bouse” or “South Copperstone” Gold Exploration Property interests, at this time.

The amount of US$4,285,855.65 (Four million two hundred and eighty five thousand eight hundred and fifty five dollars and sixty five cents) owed to Loan Note Holders (as detailed in this Filing, plus accrued interest on these Loan Notes) and to other Creditors; will be required to be deducted from the proceeds of the sale of the Company’s interests in the two Gold Properties.

It is possible that the Company may be successful in settling part or all of the various outstanding Loan Notes into shares of the Company’s Stock. In this event, the amount of shares outstanding will be substantially increased; this could result in a reduced value per share of the Company’s Common Stock.

Management of the Company wishes to stress that any and all published and previous valuations of these Gold Exploration Properties should not in any way imply a current value of these Gold Exploration Properties. These previously published and stated valuations of these Gold Exploration Properties may well be very significantly lower than previously quoted. These valuations were based solely upon transactions with third parties which were not concluded by the Company.

MUTUAL CANCELLATION OF THE “SKYLINE URANIUM” TRANSACTION

The Company was forced to abandon its agreed transaction to acquire 25 Uranium Mining & Exploration Projects situated in Idaho, Northern Arizona, Utah and in Montana.

The Company’s inability to complete the Hurasu Resource Corporation (“Goldco”) transaction as outlined in previous Form 8-K Filings) whereby the Company was to dispose of its “Bouse” and “South Copperstone” Gold Exploration Properties and to then distribute the outstanding and historical stock dividends to eligible stockholders forced the Company to abandon its transaction which if successfully concluded, would have resulted in the Company being focused on Uranium Mining & Exploration.

Had the Company’s completed this transaction, it would have resulted in a very significant erosion of stockholder wealth given the extremely sharp decline in the prices of Uranium in 2009.
