SUMMARY OF OUR OFFERING

 

This summary highlights important information about our business and about this offering. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the common stock. So, please read the entire prospectus.

Our Business

<R>

We are an exploration stage company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 25, 2001. We do not own any properties. We have obtained title to six mineral claims. These mineral claims entitle us to the minerals located on the property subject to the claim. We obtained title to the mineral claims by way of an unrecorded deed from Andrew King, our Secretary. The recorded title to the mineral claims is in Mr. King's name. We intend to explore for gold on the property. The property is located approximately 55 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 15 miles northwest from the town of Squamish in southwestern British Columbia.

</R>

<R>

Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion and because our officers and directors may not loan any money to us, we may not be able to achieve our objectives and may have to suspend or cease operations.

</R>

<R>

Our administrative office is located at #244 - 2906 West Broadway Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6K 1G8, telephone (604) 833-3903 and our registered statutory office is located at 502 East John Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89706. Our fiscal year end is August 31.

</R>

<R>

We are one of three exploration stage companies that Andrew B. Stewart, one of our officers and directors, is associated. Mike Lathigee is associated with one other exploration company. Mr. Forseille is also associated with one other exploration company. See "Background of Officers and Directors". Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille are our only officers and directors and will continue to control 71.43% of our outstanding common stock even if the maximum number of shares are sold.

</R>

No exploration work has been done on our property and no commercially exploitable reserves have been identified.

<R>

Our main expenses to date, $272,946, have been for the consulting services of Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille. The nature of the consulting services provided by the officers includes ongoing legal services by Mr. King and Mr. Stewart, geological services by Mr. Forseille, and business and marketing services by Mr. Lathigee. See "Executive Compensation".

RISK FACTORS

 

Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in the common stock.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:

<R>

1. Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion and because our officers and directors will not loan any money to us, we may not be able to achieve our objectives and many have to suspend or cease operations within four months.

</R>

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. Because our officers and directors are unwilling to loan or advance any additional capital to us, we believe that if we do not raise at least $50,000 from our offering, we may have to suspend or cease operations within four months. If we suspend our operations, you will lose your entire investment.

2. We lack an operating history and have losses that we expect to continue into the future.

We were incorporated in April 2001 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 $277,836. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the following:

Our ability to locate a profitable mineral property;

Our ability to generate revenues; and

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. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.

3. We have no known ore reserves and we cannot guarantee we will find any gold or if we find gold, that production will be profitable.

We have no known ore reserves. We have not identified any gold on the property and we cannot guaranty that we will ever find any gold. Even if we find that there is gold on our property, we cannot guaranty that we will be able to recover the gold. Even if we recover gold, we cannot guaranty that we will make a profit. If we cannot find gold or it is not economical to recover the gold, we will have to cease operations.

4. If we do not raise enough money for exploration, we will have to delay exploration or go out of business.

We are in the very early exploration stage and need the proceeds from our offering to start exploring for gold. Since there is no minimum and no refunds on sold shares, you may be investing in a company that will not have the funds necessary to commence its operations.

5. Rain and snow may make the road leading to our property impassable. This will delay our proposed exploration operations that could prevent us from working.

While we plan to conduct our exploration year round, it is possible that snow or rain could cause roads leading to our claims to be impassable. When roads are impassable, we are unable to work.

6. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration and consequently may not find mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration. Because we may have to limit our exploration, we may not find mineralized material, although our property may contain mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.

7. We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration that could cause us to delay or suspend operations.

Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, such as explosives, 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.

<R>

8. We have not yet discovered any gold. Even if we are successful in discovering gold we may not be able to realize a profit from its sale. The price of gold is depressed compared to past years. This makes it harder to make a profit. If we cannot make a profit, we will have to cease operations until market conditions improve or cease operations altogether.

</R>

<R>

The price of an ounce of gold is $297. In the past, the price of gold has been as high as $800 per ounce. In order to maintain operations, we will have to sell our gold for more than it costs us to mine it. The lower the price the more difficult it is to do this. If we cannot make a profit, we will have cease operations until the price of gold increases or cease operations all together. Because the cost to mine the gold is fixed, the lower the market, the less the likelihood we will be to make a profit.

</R>

9. We may not have enough money to complete our exploration and consequently may have to cease or suspend our operations.

<R>

We may not have enough money to complete our exploration of our property. Because we are exploring raw undeveloped land, we do not know how much we will have to spend to find out if there is mineralized material on our property. It could cost as little as $10,000 and as much as $130,000 to find out. The first $50,000 we raise, however, will be used to cover the cost of this offering before we spend any money on our exploration program. In addition, we do not know how much money we will raise in this offering. 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. In we need additional money and cannot raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.

</R>

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

Title to our property is not held in our name. Title to our property is recorded in the name of one of our officers and directors, Andrew King, by an unrecorded warranty deed. If Mr. King transfers our 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.

<R>

11. Because title to our property is in the name of Mr. King, a creditor of Mr. King could attach a lien on our property and have the property sold. If this happens, the creditor or a third party could take title to our property and we will cease operations.

</R>

Because title to our property is in the name of Mr. King, a creditor of Mr. King could attach a lien on our property and have its sold. If that happens, the creditor or a third party buying the property at a judicial sale could take title to our property. If that happens, we will own no property and will cease operations.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING:

12. Because Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille 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.

Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille our only shareholders will receive a substantial benefit from your investment. They paid expenses of $2,000, deposited cash of $54 and provided a loan of $6,493 that has to be repaid. 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 Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille will lose only approximately $12,000.

13. Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell you stock.

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.

14. Because we will close the offering even if we do not raise enough funds to complete exploration, you may lose your investment.

There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this offering, even if we raise a nominal amount of money. Any money we receive will be immediately appropriated by us. We may not raise enough money to start or complete exploration. No money will be refunded to you under any circumstances. As a result, you may lose your investment.

<R>

15. Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares which are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty in reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.

</R>

Our shares qualify as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement before making a sale to you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.

16. Because Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille will own more than 50% of the outstanding shares after this offering, they will be able to decide who will be directors and you may not be able to elect any directors.

Even if we sell all 2,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille will still own 5,000,000 shares and will continue to control us. As a result, after completion of this offering, regardless of the number of shares we sell, Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille will be able to elect all of our directors and control our operations.

17. Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille's control prevents you from causing a change in the course of our operations.

Because Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille 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.

 

<R>

18. Our officers and directors will probably sell some of their shares if the market price of the stock goes above $0.10. This may cause the price of our common stock to fall, which will reduce the value of your investment.

</R>

A total of 5,000,000 shares of stock were issued to our two officers and directors. They paid an average price of $0.055. They will likely sell a portion of their stock if the market price goes above $0.10. If they do sell their stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

Some discussions in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in this prospectus. Such factors include, those discussed in "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. 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.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Our offering is being made on a best efforts - no minimum basis. The net proceeds to us after deducting offering expenses of $50,000 will be $150,000 if all of the shares are sold. The first $50,000 raised will be used offering expenses. We will use the net proceeds as follows:

<R>

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. We believe that the required exploration work will cost up to $130,000 and take approximately one year. If we are successful in immediately finding gold, we will commence technical and economic feasibility studies to determine if we have any significant reserves. Costs of exploring will then cease. On the other hand, if we do not immediately find gold, we will continue to explore for gold on the property. If we have to continue to explore for gold, the costs of exploration will increase.

</R>

Working capital includes the cost of our office operations.

Our offering expenses are comprised of an SEC filing fee, legal and accounting expenses, printing and transfer agent fees, and state securities registration fees. Mr. Lathigee will not receive any compensation for his efforts in selling our shares.

While we currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering substantially in the manner set forth above, we reserve the right to reassess and reassign the use if, in the judgment of our board of directors, changes are necessary or advisable. At present, no material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the above projected use of proceeds in connection with this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus reflecting the same.

 

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:

Our lack of an 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 August 31, 2001, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was a deficit of $(2,836) or approximately Nil per share based upon 5,000,000 shares outstanding.

If 100% of the Shares Are Sold:

Upon completion of this offering, in the event that all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 7,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $140,054, 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 shares 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 and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $275,000, or approximately $0.055 per share.

If 75% of the Shares Are Sold:

Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,500,000 shares to be outstanding will be $90,054, 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 1,500,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 23.08% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares 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 $275,000, or approximately $0.055 per share.

If 50% of the Shares Are Sold:

Upon completion of this offering, in the event 50% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $40,054, 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 shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $100,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 83.33% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $275,000, or approximately $0.055 per share.

If 25% of the Shares Are Sold:

Upon completion of this offering, in the event 25% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 5,500,000 shares to be outstanding will be $(6,493), or approximately Nil per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by Nil per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to Nil per share.

After completion of this offering, if 500,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 9.09% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $50,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 90.91% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $275,000, or approximately $0.055 per share.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; TERMS OF THE OFFERING

 

We are offering up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock on a best efforts basis, no minimum, 2,000,000 shares maximum. The offering price is $0.10 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that we have to sell. There will be no escrow account. All money received from the offering will be immediately used by us and there will be no refunds. The offering will be for a period of 90 days from the effective date and may be extended for an additional 90 days if we so choose to do so.

We will sell the shares in this offering through Michael Lathigee, one of our officers and directors. Mr. Lathigee will contact persons with whom he has a preexisting personal or business relationship. Mr. Lathigee will receive no commission from the sale of any shares. Mr. Lathigee will not register as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. 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 subject to a statutory disqualification, 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; and

BUSINESS

 

General

<R>

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 25, 2001. We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 502 East John Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89706 and our business office is located at #244 - 2986 West Broadway Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6K 1G8. Our telephone number is (604) 833-3903. Our offices are leased from Performance Capital Group. on a month to month basis and our monthly rental is $-0-.

</R>

Background

<R>

In July 2001, Andrew King our Secretary and a member of the board of directors, acquired four mining claims totaling approximately 250 acres in British Columbia, Canada by the staking of the same. In September 2001, Mr. King acquired an additional mineral property containing two mining claims totaling approximately 125 acres in British Columbia, Canada by the staking of the same. The additional property is contiguous to the original property staked in July 2001. Mr. King is licensed to stake claims in British Columbia as a Free Miner. In order to qualify as a Free Miner, Mr. King wrote an examination at the British Columbia Gold Commissioner. Mr. King has done limited research on the selection of mineral properties, however, Mr. King has received no formal training in this area. Mr. King believed the property appeared to be promising due to its proximity to other properties with previous exploration work, because of the relative ease of access to the property and because the property is not located in an environmentally sensitive region. The claims are recorded in Mr. King's name to a avoid paying additional fees, however, title to the claims has been conveyed to us by an unrecorded deed. An unrecorded deed is one in which title to the property has been transferred to us, but the deed has not been filed with the British Columbia Land Title Office. Our title to the property is superior to all other unrecorded deeds. Should Mr. King transfer title to another person and that deed is recorded before recording our deed, that person will have superior title and we will have none. If that event occurs, however, Mr. King will be liable to us for monetary damages for breach of his warranty of title and for breach of his fiduciary duties to us as director. The extent of these damages will be calculated so as to place us in the position we would have been in had the breach of warranty and fiduciary duties not occurred. Damages would include expenditures incurred by us in respect of the property in addition to loss of opportunity costs, the quantification of which would depend on any subsequently successful exploration of the properties.

</R>

Under British Columbia provincial law, if the deed is recorded in our name, we will have to pay a minimum of $500.00 and file other documents since we are a foreign corporation in Canada. We will also be required to form a British Columbia corporation that contains a board of directors, a majority of which will have to be British Columbia residents. We have decided that if gold is discovered on the property and it is economical to remove the gold, we will record the deed, pay the additional tax, and file as a foreign corporation. We are in possession of the unrecorded deed and the decision to record or not record the deed is solely within our province.

<R>

The aboriginal group situate near the property is the Squamish Band. In 1996 the Squamish Band made a claim to a large general area of land north of Squamish including the property on which we hold our mineral claims.

</R>

<R>

The provincial and federal governments have developed numerous policies surrounding native land claims. In the absence of a treaty, native land is either reserve land, or land subject to a claim of aboriginal title. The government does, however, recognize that aboriginal rights and title to certain lands are constitutionally protected rights, but that these rights are not absolute. The government is of the view that these rights may be infringed if the infringement is justified. Factors the government will consider in determining whether an infringement is justified include:

-whether a valid legislative objective exists (such as enhancing the economy through the harvesting of resources)

-whether consultation with the native groups concerned has taken place.

How will this affect our rights to the property and any future exploration and development?

</R>

<R>

The legislative objectives that can justify infringement are fairly broad. The Supreme Court of Canada has stated that the general economic development of British Columbia, including the development of mining, is the kind of objective that is consistent with this purpose and, in principle, can justify the infringement of aboriginal title. We own our mineral claims, notwithstanding the claim by the Squamish Band. We may, however, be required by the government to work on the property in consultation with the Squamish Band including hiring native employees. During Phase 1 (See "Our Proposed Exploration Plan" ) we can proceed with all work under this Phase without consulting the government or any aboriginal groups concerned. Once we commence the more intrusive work of Phase 2, we will be required to obtain a work permit from the Mines Branch, Energy Division. When reviewing our work permit application, the government will also consider whether consultation with native groups is warranted.

</R>

<R>

All Canadian lands and minerals that have not been granted to private persons are owned by either the federal or provincial governments in the name of Her Majesty. 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's 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. Minerals are reserved from Crown land dispositions under the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia). 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's property is one such acquisition. Accordingly, fee simple title to the Company's property resides with the Crown. The Company's claims are mineral claims issued pursuant to the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia). We have exclusive rights to mine and recover all of the minerals contained within the surface boundaries of the lease continued vertically downward. The legal significance of these different ownership interests is simply that the Crown maintains fee simple ownership of the surface rights on the properties and we have obtained the right to all of the underlying minerals. Under provisions of the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) a claim grants the holder the rights to use the surface for exploration and mining purposes. A disposition of surface rights by the Crown cannot diminish the rights of the mineral title holder.

</R>

<R>

Mr. King obtained a valid claim to the mineral title on the properties by his staking of the same pursuant to the requirements of the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia). This claim is akin to an interest in land. Mr. King has transferred this claim to us by way of an unrecorded deed. In the event that we discover gold or other mineral deposits on the properties during our explorations, we intend to record the deed and pay all appropriate fees. The deed will then be transferred to a Canadian subsidiary for purposes of the recording the claims with the Land Titles Office.

</R>

To date we have not performed any work on our property. We are presently in the exploration stage and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in our property until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.

<R>

</R>

<R>

We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop any reserves we find, if any, ourselves.

</R>

<R>

The following information is provided in compliance with "Guide 7 of Industry Guides Under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act" for issuers engaged or to be engaged in significant mining operations.

</R>

Location and Access

<R>

(1) The property consists of six mineral claims totaling approximately 375 acres. The property is located approximately 55 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 15 miles north from the town of Squamish in southwestern British Columbia. The property is within the Vancouver Mining Division.

</R>

Access to the property is from the west from Squamish on Highway 99 to Lucille Lake turn-off, then northerly approximately 3 road miles on the Lucille Lake Road. The Lucille Lake Road is an all weather gravel logging road that leads to the property.

<R>

The following is a small scale map showing the location and access to the property, which consists of the six claims located in the very center of the map. Below the map is a scale.

Physiography

The property is situated within the Pacific Coast Mountain region of southwestern British Columbia with elevations ranging from 700 feet within the Roe Creek valley and the south end of the claims to 800 feet at the northern most area of the property.

<R>

(2) Pursuant to an agreement between us and Andrew King, one of our directors, Mr. King has transferred to us six mineral claims.

</R>

<R>

We hold title to the six mineral claims by an unrecorded deed. The recorded owner of the six mineral claims is Andrew King. The six mineral claims give us the right to all of the underlying minerals of the land on which the claims have been staked. We have to begin exploration on or before July 28, 2002 for four of the claims, and on or before September 9, 2002 for two claims, or pay $100.00 per claim to prevent the property from reverting to the Crown.

</R>

<R>

(3) To our knowledge, Mr. King staked the 375 acre property in southwestern British Columbia in 2001 and there were no previous owners, operators, or operations on the property

</R>

<R>

(4) There are no existing workings on the property. The only work completed on the property is the initial staking of the mineral claims by Mr. King. Exploration has not commenced on the property. It is anticipated that we will generate our own power on the property from portable generators we transport to the property and power generated by the backhoe engine.

</R>

<R>

The slopes within the property are moderately steep throughout. Vegetation consists mainly of fir and pine trees, much of it mature second growth. The climate features warm summers and cold winters. The Roe Creek valley is fairly dry in the summer. Average yearly precipitation is thirty inches. A snow pack of five to eight feet begins to accumulate in November and lingers in places into May. The recommended field exploration season is from early April to late November, although the close proximity to access roads would allow for drilling or underground exploration on a year round basis.

</R>

Property Geology

<R>

The main rock types occurring in the area are volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Pliocene age. These rocks are intruded by late Jurassic aged quartz diorite. The overburden are late glacial to early post glacial with the following rock assemblages: olivine basalt flows, basaltic andestine flows and pyroclastic cones, rhyolite, dacite and andesite flows and domes, polymictic breccias and pyroclastics, minor intercalated sediments in addition to quartz diorite.

</R>

<R>

</R>

Our Proposed Exploration Program

<R>

All of our officers and directors have visited our property.

</R>

<R>

The property is without known reserves and our proposed program is exploratory in nature. We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on the properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed. Specifically, we intend to explore for gold on the properties. When soil samples taken from the property are analyzed, we will also look for traces of silver, lead, iron and zinc, however, our focus is on the search for gold.

</R>

<R>

Our exploration program is designed to economically explore and evaluate the properties. We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the properties.

</R>

<R>

We intend to implement an exploration program and intend to proceed in the following three phases all of which will be performed by Patrick Forseille, one of our directors and by independent contractors hired by us. We will not hire anyone to start exploration until we receive funds from this offering to start exploring for gold. We believe that the only equipment we will need to start exploration on the property will be a backhoe. We will lease the backhoe from anequipment rental company or hire an independent contractor who owns a backhoe to the dig the trenches we refer to in this prospectus. We expect to have to pay $30,000 for a backhoe or $25.00 an hour for an independent contractor who owns his own backhoe. We anticipate hiring an independent contractor as needed.

</R>

<R>

The only equipment we will need is a backhoe to dig trenches. It is only possible to allocate approximate dollar amounts to specific acts because we do not know what we will encounter during our trenching. As trenches are dug and we evaluate the results, we will determine if mineralized material that indicate the presence of gold exist.. If gold is found, we will then determine if it is profitable to extract the gold. If we determine that it is possible to extract thegold, the exploration of the property will cease and we will initiate the development stage of the property. The proceeds from the offering will not be used for development. We have not formulated a plan for development, and cannot and will not do so until gold is found.

</R>

<R>

Phase 1 will begin with research of the available geologic literature, personal interviews with geologists, mining engineers and others familiar with the prospect sites. We have recently begun this phase of the exploration process on the properties.

</R>

<R>

When the research is completed, our initial work will be augmented with geologic mapping and geochemical testing of our claims. The geologic mapping on the property will be done by taking soil samples throughout the property at approximately 200-300 foot intervals. On areas with no rock outcrops, we will do soil survey grids. We will also analyze surface outcrops of rock and the topography of the property to assist in the geologic mapping. We anticipate the costs of the geologic mapping during this Phase to be approximately $8,000. We note that part of the compensation provided to Patrick Forseille, one of our directors, was for his agreed assistance with the geologic mapping during this Phase See "Executive Compensation" .

</R>

<R>

We will also conduct geochemical testing during Phase 1. Rock samples will be taken from the property and taken to a lab where a determination of the elemental make up of the sample and the exact concentrations of gold will be made. We will then compare the relative concentrations of gold in samples so the results from different samples can be compared in a more precise manner and plotted on a map to evaluate their significance. We anticipate the cost of geochemical testing to be approximately $8,000 to $12,000. We note that part of the consideration provided to Patrick Forseille was for his agreed assistance with the geochemical testing during this Phase.

</R>

<R>

When available, existing workings, like trenches, prospect pits, shafts or tunnels will be examined. If an apparent mineralized zone is identified and narrowed down to a specific area by the studies, we will begin trenching the area. Trenches are generally approximately 150 ft. in length and 10-20 ft. wide. These dimensions allow for a thorough examination of the surface of the vein structure types, if any, generally encountered in the area. They also allow easier restoration of the land to its pre-exploration condition when we conclude our operations. Once excavation of a trench is completed, samples are taken to a lab and then analyzed. We will analyze trench samples at a lab in Vancouver, British Columbia. Rock chip samples will tested for traces of gold, silver, lead, zinc and iron, however our primary focus is the search for gold. A careful interpretation of this available data collected from the various tests aids in determining whether or not the claims have current economic potential and whether further exploration is warranted

</R>

Phase 1 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.

<R>

Phase 2 involves an initial examination of the underground characteristics of any vein structure that was identified by Phase 1 of exploration. Phase 2 is aimed at identifying any mineral deposits of potential economic importance. The methods employed are:

More extensive trenching

More advanced geophysical work

 

Diamond Drilling

</R>

<R>

Diamond drilling is an essential component of exploration and aids in the delineation and definition of any deposits. The geophysical work gives a general understanding of the location and extent of mineralization at depths that are unreachable by surface excavations and provides a target for more extensive trenching and core drilling. We anticipate the approximate cost of the geophysical work to be approximately $5,000, and the approximate cost of drilling, if completed, to be $5,000 to $8,000.

</R>

<R>

Trenching identifies the continuity and extent of mineralization, if any, below the surface. If trenching reveals significant mineralization, we may conduct limited diamond drilling to further explore the deposit. We anticipate that we will rely primarily on more extensive trenching during Phase 2 to identify the extent of mineralization. We anticipate the cost of the trenching during Phase 2 to be approximately $8,000.

</R>

<R>

After a thorough analysis of the data collected in Phase 2, we will decide if the property warrants a Phase 3 study.

</R>

Phase 2 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.

<R>

Phase 3 is aimed at precisely defining the depth, the width, the length, the tonnage and the value per ton of any mineral body. This is accomplished through extensive drift driving. Drift driving is the process of constructing a tunnel to take samples of minerals for testing. Later, the tunnel can be used for mining minerals. The costs of underground work are variable and depend in large part on the type of rock encountered. If the rock is unstable and fractured, the cost of tunneling can increase greatly because the tunnel must be reinforced. If the rock is tombstone or granite the cost of tunneling is lower as reinforcement of the tunnel is not necessary. We do not intend to conduct extensive drift driving until Phase 3. We anticipate driving a drift of approximately 50 to 60 feet during Phase 3, at an approximate cost of $1,000 per foot, for a total cost of between $50,000 and $60,000.

</R>

Phase 3 will take about 6 months and cost up to $90,000.

<R>

In order for us to initiate underground work during Phase 3, we will take into account several factors before we make the decision to go underground. We will consider the density of the underlying rock in deciding the extent of the drift driving to be undertaken. If the rock encountered is tombstone or granite we are more likely to proceed with more extensive drift driving as the cost of construction is lower than if the rock is unstable and/or fractured. The primary factor we will take into account in deciding whether to proceed with extensive drift driving will be the grade and consistency of the ore encountered. That is to say, our estimate of the amount of gold per ton in the underlying rock will determine the extent of our underground work.

</R>

<R>

We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop any reserves ourselves.

</R>

<R>

The three phases of exploration will be conducted by a qualified geologist with reasonable experience in exploration of gold and mineral properties. The exploration will be supervised by Patrick Forseille, our Chief Technical Officer. Mr. Forseille will also be involved extensively in assisting with the geologic mapping and geochemical testing. See "Background of Officers and Directors".

</R>

Competitive Factors

<R>

The gold mining industry is fragmented. We compete with other exploration companies looking for gold. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold mining market. While we compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from our property. Readily available gold markets exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of gold.

</R>

Regulations

<R>

Our mineral exploration program is subject to the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) and Regulation. This act sets forth rules for

</R>

Locating claims

Posting claims

Working claims

Reporting work performed

<R>

The Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) and Regulation also governs the work requirements for a claim including the minimum annual work requirements necessary to maintain a claim. The holder of a mineral claim must perform exploration and development work on the claim of $100 in each of the first three years and $200 in the fourth and subsequent years.

</R>

<R>

We are also subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration Code (the "Code") that tells us how and where we can explore for minerals. We must comply with these laws to operate our business. The purpose of the Code is to assist persons who wish to explore for minerals in British Columbia to understand the process whereby exploration activities are permitted and regulated. The Code establishes province wide standards for mineral exploration and development activities. The Code also manages and administers exploration and development activities to ensure maximum extraction with a minimum of environmental disturbance. The Code does not apply to certain exploration work we will be conducting. Specifically, work that does not involve mechanical disturbance of the surface including:

Prospecting using hand-held tools

Geological and geochemical surveying

Airborne geophysical surveying

Hand-trenching without the use of explosives

The establishment of gridlines that do not require the felling of trees

</R>

<R>

Exploration activities that we intend on carrying out which are subject to the provisions of the Code are as follows:

Drilling, trenching and excavating using machinery

Disturbance of the ground by mechanical means

Blasting

</R>

<R>

Compliance with these rules and regulations will require us to meet the minimum annual work requirements. Also, prior to proceeding with any exploration work subject to the Code we must apply for a notice of work permit. In this notice we will be required to set out the location, nature, extent and duration of the proposed exploration activities. The notice is submitted to the regional office of the Mines Branch, Energy Division.

</R>

In order to explore for gold on our property we must submit the plan contained in this prospectus for review and pay a fee of $150.00. We believe that the plan as contained in this prospectus will be accepted and an exploration permit will be issued to us. The exploration permit is the only permit or license we will need to explore for gold on our property.

Environmental Law

<R>

. The Code deals with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. The goal of this Act is to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting:

</R>

1. Health and Safety

2. Archaeological Sites

3. Exploration Access

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

<R>

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 we know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.

</R>

<R>

We are in compliance with the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) and the Code will continue to comply with the these regulations in the future. We believe that compliance with the these regulations will not adversely affect our business operations in the future.

</R>

<R>

There is no requirement to reclaim the mineral claims after we have completed our exploration program. However, a claim must be maintained by performing an annual work requirement or by payment of cash in lieu of work. The minimum amount of exploration and development work on the claim must be $100 per claim in each of the first three years and $200 in the fourth and subsequent years. Provided we meet the minimum annual work requirements or pay cash in lieu of work we will maintain the claims in good standing.

</R>

Employees

Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties. Our only technical employee will be Patrick Forseille, one of our officers and directors.

Employees and Employment Agreements

At present, we have no employees, other than Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille, our officers and directors, who were compensated for their services. Messrs. Stewart, King, Lathigee and Forseille do not have employment agreements 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 any employees.

We intend to hire geologists, engineers and excavation subcontractors on an as needed basis. We have not entered into any negotiations or contracts with any of them. We do not intend to initiate negotiations or hire anyone until we receive proceeds from our offering.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

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 states are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or out predictions.

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

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is 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. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals found on our property. That cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business.

To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business. Whatever money we do raise, will be applied first to exploration and then to development, if development is warranted. If we do not raise all of the money we need from this offering, we will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others. We have discussed this matter with our officers, however, our officers are unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money at this time. 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.

We will be conducting research in connection with the exploration of our property. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment. We do not expect a change in our number of employees.

<R>

We anticipate the following costs to be incurred as a result of compliance with the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) and Regulation and the British Columbia Mineral Exploration Code:

$600 for the minimum amount of exploration work, or cash payment in lieu thereof, of $100 per claim as required by the Mineral Tenure Act

$1500 for the removal and storage of soil from the properties, which amount includes additional costs of hired labor to extract and place the soil in such a manner so as to comply with the Code

All costs associated with compliance with the aforementioned legislation have been accounted for in our exploration costs estimates. See "Our Proposed Exploration Program."

</R>

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is no historical financial information about our company upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage company 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.

<R>

The proceeds of this offering will be used for the implementation of our proposed research and exploration program.

</R>

<R>

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 or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

</R>

<R>

Capital Requirements of Our Proposed Exploration Program

For all three phases of our proposed exploration program, we anticipate the capital costs to be approximately $130,000, as discussed above under "Our Proposed Exploration Program". This amount will include all costs in respect of the equipment we will need during each phase (including rental of a backhoe and a drill, as well as the purchase of hand tools and explosives); the services of a professional geologist who will be responsible for geologic mapping, soil sampling, and supervision; the services of field workers who will be responsible for general labor, including trenching, drift driving, and site maintenance; food and camp supplies; and analysis of samples, including shipping of samples to laboratory and testing analysis.

</R>

Results of Operations

From Inception on April 25, 2001

<R>

We just recently acquired 6 mineral claims on a property by way of an unrecorded deed and are commencing the research and exploration stage of our operations on that property at this time.

</R>

<R>

Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for our property acquisition, for corporate expenses and to repay outstanding indebtedness. Net cash provided by financing activities from inception on April 25, 2001 to August 31, 2001 was $54, as a result of proceeds received from advances. In addition we received a loan of $6,493 for payment of administrative expenses which amount must be repaid. We also received $2,000 for anexploration expense that was paid back via the issuance of common stock.

</R>

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the date of this registration statement, we have not generated any revenues from our proposed business operations.

We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section 4(2) offering in April 2001. This was accounted for as a compensation expense of $272,946 and advances and reimbursement expenses of $2,000.

Since our inception, Mr. Lathigee, has loaned us the total sum of $6,493, which amount has been used to pay organizational and start-up costs and operating capital. The loans do not bear interest and have not been paid as of the date hereof. There are no documents reflecting the loan and they are not due on a specific date. Mr. Lathigee will accept repayment from us when money is available. If the maximum amount is raised, we intend to repay the $6,493 loaned to us from the proceeds of this offering.

As of August 31, 2001, our total assets were $54 and our total liabilities were $6,493.

 

MANAGEMENT

 

Officers and Directors

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Gusana Explorations Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Gusana Explorations Inc. as at August 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the period from incorporation on April 25, 2001 to August 31, 2001. 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 conformity with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from incorporation on April 25, 2001 to August 31, 2001, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is in the exploration stage and does not have the necessary working capital for its planned activity which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GUSANA EXPLORATIONS INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
AUGUST 31, 2001

 

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

The Company was incorporated on April 25, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is in the business of exploration of mineral properties. The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain mineral resources that may be economically recoverable. The Company therefore has not reached the development stage and is considered to be an exploration stage company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.

2. GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The general business strategy of the Company is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of mineral property costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production. The Company has incurred operating losses and requires additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations. Management's plan in this regard is to raise equity financing as required. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of estimates

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

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs

<R>

Exploration and prospecting costs are expensed as incurred for projects not yet determined by management to be commercially feasible.

</R>

<R>

</R>

Environmental requirements

At the report date, environmental requirements related to mineral properties (Note 5) are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made.

Loss per share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per Share" requires basic and diluted earnings per share to be presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock.

Income taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expenses (benefit) result from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Foreign currency translation

The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date. Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are included in income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.

Disclosure about segments of an enterprise and related information

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related information", requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reporting segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which the management disaggregates a company. Currently, SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment in Canada.

New accounting pronouncements

On June 30, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved the issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business Combinations" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 141 states that all business combinations should be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting making the use of the pooling-of-interest method prohibited. SFAS 141 is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 addresses the accounting for all purchased intangible assets, but not the accounting for internally developed intangible assets. Goodwill will no longer be amortized and will be reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early adoption is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 141 and 142 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

Common shares

Additional paid-in capital

The excess of proceeds received for common shares over their par value of $0.00001, less share issue costs, is credited to additional paid-in capital.

a) The Company issued 4,963,635 shares of common stock in the amount of $273,000 for consulting fees to directors of the Company.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

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:

a. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the registration statement;

c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any change to such information in the registration statement.

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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

Re: Registration Statement filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission
        on November 5, 2001 and amended and to be re-filed March 5, 2002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as your counsel in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act"), and the sale by Gusana Explorations, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Common Stock" or the "Shares").

This opinion is delivered in accordance with the requirements of Items 601(b)(5) and (23) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and are familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement on Form SB-2, relating to the Shares, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act on November 5, 2001 (together with all exhibits thereto, the "Registration Statement"), (ii) the First Amended Registration Statement (the "First Amended Registration Statement") to be re-filed March 5, 2002, (iii) the Charter of the Company, as amended, (iv) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company in effect as of the date hereof (v) the Bylaws of the Company in effect as of the date hereof, (vi) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares, the filing of the Registration Statement, adopted at a meeting on August 4, 2001, and (vii) a specimen of the certificates representing the Shares. We have also examined such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below.

In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon our review of documentation representing the transactions involving the transfer of the shares and certain other applicable documents pertaining to the status of the Company and its common stock that were furnished to us by the Company. We have also received oral representations made by certain officers and affiliates of the Company.

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts material to this opinion which we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

Members of our firm working with respect to the Company are admitted to the practice of law in the State of Nevada and the State of California and to practice federal law of the United States of America, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction or any other applicable law or regulation.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be issued by the Company in the offering, described in the Registration Statement and the First Amended Registration Statement, have been duly and validly authorized for issuance, and, upon issuance and delivery of the Shares, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1.1 to Form SB-2, and its incorporation by reference as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or under the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written above. This law firm expressly disclaims any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may alter, affect or modify this opinion. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters stated herein, and this law firm makes no opinion, express or implied, as to any other matters relating to the Company or its securities.

                                                          Very truly yours,






SUTTON LAW CENTER
