BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY RECENTLY COMMENCED EXPLORATION AND HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, THERE IS NO BASIS UPON WHICH YOU CAN EVALUATE OUR PROPOSED BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS. AS A NEWLY FORMED MINERAL EXPLORATION COMPANY, WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE MANY RISKS AND UNFORESEEN EXPENSES AND PROBLEMS THAT A NEWLY FORMED MINERAL EXPLORATION COMPANY ENCOUNTERS. AS A NEWLY FORMED MINERAL EXPLORATION COMPANY, WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT AND EXECUTE OUR PROPOSED BUSINESS, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DO SO INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES. AS A NEWLY FORMED MINERAL EXPLORATION COMPANY, WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO ANTICIPATE AND HANDLE POTENTIAL GROWTH AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO. IF WE NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS, THE FUNDS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE WHEN WE NEED THEM. WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE RIGHTS SENIOR TO THE RIGHTS OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS IN ORDER TO ATTRACT ADDITIONAL FUNDS AND, IF WE USE EQUITY SECURITIES TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS DILUTION TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS MAY OCCUR. IF WE FAIL TO MAKE REQUIRED PAYMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, WE WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO THE SUBJECT CLAIMS. IF OUR EXPLORATION PROGRAM PROVIDES RESULTS INDICATING THAT COMMERCIALLY VIABLE GOLD OR SILVER DEPOSITS EXIST WITHIN THE SUBJECT CLAIMS, WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO RAISE SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE PRODUCTION AND GENERATE REVENUE FROM SUCH DEPOSITS, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DO SO, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL AND INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES. MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF OUR COMPETITION WILL BE FROM LARGER, WELL ESTABLISHED AND BETTER FINANCED COMPANIES, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE WITH OTHER COMPANIES OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL. OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON OUR OFFICER, WE HAVE NO DEFINITIVE COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS WITH HIM, AND BECAUSE HE HAS INVOLVEMENT OR RELATIONS WITH OTHER BUSINESS, HE MAY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ATTRACT OR RETAIN EMPLOYEES IN WHICH EVENT OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. AS A RESULT OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF MINERAL PROPERTY EXPLORATION, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT NO COMMERCIALLY VIABLE MINERALS WILL BE FOUND AND OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL. THE EXPLORATION WORK THAT WE INTEND TO CONDUCT ON THE SUBJECT CLAIMS MAY NOT RESULT IN THE DISCOVERY OF COMMERCIAL QUANTITIES OF GOLD OR SILVER. EVEN IF COMMERCIAL QUALITIES OF GOLD OR SILVER ARE FOUND, WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY MINE THE GOLD BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY. THERE IS A RISK THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS. WE MAY BE DELAYED IN IMPLEMENTING OR CONTINUING WITH OUR EXPLORATION, AS WELL AS, WITH ANY FUTURE MINING EFFORTS. AS WE UNDERTAKE EXPLORATION OF OUR SUBJECT CLAIMS, WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION THAT MAY INCREASE THE ANTICIPATED TIME AND COST OF OUR EXPLORATION PROGRAM. MARKET FACTORS IN THE MINING BUSINESS ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL. AS A RESULT, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MARKET ANY MINERALS THAT MAY BE FOUND. OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR HAS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. OUR SHARES ARE CONSIDERED PENNY STOCK WHICH MAY LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL THE STOCK. WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE. WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL. OUR OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OWNS A LARGE BLOCK OF OUR OUTSTANDING STOCK AND WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO EFFECTIVELY CONTROL THE COMPANY. WE HAVE NEVER PAID DIVIDENDS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, AND WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL PAY ANY DIVIDENDS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. SOME HOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESCIND THEIR PURCHASES. IF THESE SECURITY HOLDERS EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO RESCIND THEIR PURCHASES, OUR OPERATIONS WILL BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED DUE TO THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH RESCISSION.
