PART I

ITEM 1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Business of Issuer

We are an exploration stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search of mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. We have conducted exploration activities on the Black Rock Basin, lode mining claims, in Maricopa County, Arizona. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at The Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89544 and our business office is located at 7164 120th Street, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, V3W 3M8. This is our mailing address as well. Our telephone number is (604) 592-8321 ext. 244.

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

Background

On April 18, 2005, we executed a lease with Gold Explorations LLC, an unrelated third party that holds title to the property. Under the terms of the lease, we have the right to explore for gold on 300 acres. The property is comprised of 15 lode mining claims in Maricopa County, Arizona. The terms of lease provided that we will pay Gold Explorations $10,000 upon the commencement anniversary date of April 18, 2006, and each year thereafter for a period twenty-five years. We paid this $10,000 fee on March 27, 2006. We may terminate the agreement upon giving thirty (30) days notice prior to the commencement of an anniversary date. The property is subject to the rules and regulations of the Bureau of Land Management. We will be exploring for mineralized material. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. The lease grants us the right to enter on the property with our employees, representatives and agents, and to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the property.

We will be responsible for payment of any taxes and maintenance fees due to BLM for 2006 and every year after thereafter. Pursuant to the agreement, we will be responsible for paying taxes and maintenance fees not exceeding $2,000 per annum.

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

The fee simple title to the property is owned by Gold Explorations LLC. The property is referred to as the Black Rock Basin Project (BRB). Gold Explorations LLC has leased these claims and the rights that go with them to Zone Mining Limited. The lease grants us the right to enter on the property with our employees, representatives and agents, and to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the property.

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

 

-3-


In the spring of 2006 we performed soil and rock sampling on the property. We are presently in the exploration stage and we cannot guarantee that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in the property until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.

Location and Access

The property is located in the southern part of the Vulture Mining District, Maricopa County, Arizona on the northeastern flank of the Belmont Mountains. Ground comprising the BRB Project is located within sections 17 and 20, Township 4 North, Range7 West. The project area is covered by the Belmont Mountain 7 1/2 minute topographic map. Access to the project area is possible year around. The property is located approximately 80 miles west of Phoenix and about 25 miles southwest of Wickenburg, Arizona.

The BRB Project is situated within the lower hills and flats of the northern Belmont Mountains Range where elevations from a low of 1900 feet to a maximum of just under 2500 feet are found on the property. The predominant drainage on the property is east. Vegetation consists predominantly of Creosote (greasewood), Palo Verde and Mesquite with a variety of cacti. Land use is for cattle and sheep grazing. The only habitation or other cultural features within ten miles is a small ranch house northeast of the project site.

Property Geology

At the BRB a series of fault controlled veins cut Tertiary basalts. These basalts are a dark gray to black colored, moderate to fine-grained vesicular flows. At the extreme west, north and south end of the property, rhyolite flows and flow breccias cap the basalt. This rhyolite generally is a light-yellowish-brown to a light brownish-gray color, iron stained to a reddish color where pyrite is abundant.

The veins occur within a zone almost 4 miles in length and 1/4 to 3/4 miles in width. The veins and veinlets vary in width from inches to tens of feet and several hundred to possibly several thousand feet of strike length. These veins are comprised of quartz, calcite, with silicified and brecciated vein material. The only visible ore-bearing minerals are sphalerite (zinc sulfide), galena (lead sulfide) with sparse chrysocolla and malachite (copper silicates and carbonates).

The west zone, moderately exposed on the steeper slopes, the northwest zone, well exposed, the central zone, poorly exposed due to alluvial cover, the northeast zone, again poorly exposed due to a think layer of soil cover.

History of Previous Work

Ground within the BRB Project experienced minor prospecting, probably during the 1930's. The property evidences numerous small prospect pits, shallow shafts and several small tunnels or adits. Most of the exploration was focused on the west end of the property.

Supplies

Supplies and manpower are readily available for exploration of the property.

Other

Other than our leasehold interest in the property, we own no plants or other property. With respect to the property, our right to conduct exploration activity is based upon the Agreement with Gold Explorations LLC.

Our Proposed Exploration Program

Working with a $15,000 budget, we conducted a soil and rock sampling program. We collected 380 soil and rock samples to analyze. We collected soil samples on 50 foot centers over the best looking areas on either 300 or 500 foot line spacing. Rock chip samples were taken where we had the best outcrop exposures. All sample locations were marked with metal tags and provided with GPS coordinates. We collected 350 soil samples and 30 rock samples which covered the claim block.

Samples have been shipped to Chemex Labs. It will take three weeks to obtain results from the lab. We will plot all sample locations on a map with GPS coordinates for sample sites.

Funds have been used exclusively for grid installation, sample collecting, supplies, shipping, lab costs, meals, motels, truck fuel and labor.

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

The property is undeveloped raw land. Only the soil and rock sampling program has been done to date.

Before minerals retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We can't predict what that will be until we find mineralized material.

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

Our public offering does not provide funding for drilling. Mr. Berrow, after conferring with Gold Explorations LLC, will determine if and when drilling will occur on the property. While Gold Explorations LLC has no right to prevent us from exploring or extracting minerals from the property, we believe, because of its knowledge of the property, it is in our best interest to confer with Gold Explorations' management. Mr. Berrow will not receive fees for his services. The samples will be tested to

-5-


determine if mineralized material is located on the property. Based upon the tests of the samples, we will determine if we will terminate operations; proceed with additional exploration of the property; or develop the property. The proceeds from our public offering are designed to only fund the costs of soil and rock chip sampling.

The costs of our work program were provided by Mr. Steve Karolyi, of Gold Explorations LLC a report of February 24, 2005 on the Black Rock Basin, Lode Mining Claims. He estimated the cost of supervision, grid mapping, sample analysis, assays, labor and supplies to be $15,000. We have no relationship with Mr. Karolyi. The exploration activity was initiated in the spring of 2006.

We cannot provide you with a more detailed discussion of how our exploration program will work and what we expect will be our likelihood of success. That is because we have a piece of raw land and we intend to look for a gold ore body. We may or may not find an ore body. Our lease grants us the right to enter on the property with our employees, representatives and agents, and to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the property. We hope we do, but it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such an event. In addition, the nature and direction of the exploration may change depending upon initial results.

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

Competitive Factors

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

Regulations

Our mineral exploration program is subject to the regulations of the Bureau of Land Management.

The prospecting on the property is provided under the existing 1872 Mining Law and all permits for exploration and testing must be obtained through the local Bureau of Land Management (BLM) office of the Department of Interior. Obtaining permits for minimal disturbance as envisioned by this exploration program will require making the appropriate application and filing of the bond to cover the reclamation of the test areas. From time to time, an archeological clearance may need to be contracted to allow the testing program to proceed.

Rental Fee Requirement

The Federal government's Continuing Act of 2002 extends the requirement of rental or maintenance fees in place of assessment work for filing and holding mining claims with the BLM. All claimants must pay a yearly maintenance fee of $100 per claim for all or part of the mining claim assessment year. The fee must be paid at the State Office of the Bureau of Land Management by August 31, of each year. Zone Mining Limited has paid this fee through 2006. The assessment year ends on noon of September 1 of each year. The initial maintenance fee is paid at the time the Notice of Location is filed with the BLM and covers the

-6-


remainder of the assessment year in which the claim was located. There are no exemptions from the initial fee. Some claim holders made qualify for a Small Miner Exemption waiver of the maintenance fee for assessment years after the year in which the claim was located. We do not qualify for a Small Miner Exemption. The following sets for the BLM fee schedule:

* Fee schedule reflects increases of July 2004 and July 2005.

The BLM regulations provide for three types of operations on public lands: 1. Casual Use level, 2. Notice level and 3. Plan of Operation level.

  1. Casual Use means activities ordinarily resulting in no or negligible disturbance of the public lands or resources. Casual Use operations involve simple prospecting with hand tools such as picks, shovels, and metal detectors. Small-scale mining devices such as dry washers having engines with less than 10 brake-horsepower are allowed, provided they are fed using only hand tools. Casual Use level operations are not required to file an application to conduct activities or post a financial guarantee.

  2. Notice level operations include only exploration activities in which five or less acres of disturbance are proposed. Presently, all Notice Level operations require a written notice and must be bonded for all activities other than reclamation.

  3. Plans of Operation activities include all mining and processing (regardless of the size of the proposed disturbance), plus all other activities exceeding five acres of proposed public land disturbance.

Operators are encouraged to conduct a thorough inventory of the claim to determine the full extent of any existing disturbance and to meet with field office personnel at the site before developing an estimate. The inventory should include photographs taken "before" and "after" any mining activity.

If an operator constructs access or uses an existing access way for an operation and would object to BLM blocking, removing, or claiming that access, then the operator must post a financial guarantee that covers the reclamation of the access.

 

-7-


Concurrence by the BLM for occupancy is required whenever residential occupancy is proposed or when fences, gates, or signs will be used to restrict public access or when structures that could be used for shelter are placed on a claim. It is the claimant's responsibility to prepare a complete notice or plan of operators.

Mining Claims On State Land

The Arizona law authorizing location of claims on State Lands was repealed in 1998. Acquisition of mineral rights on Arizona trust land can only be accomplished by application for a prospecting permit, mineral lease, or lease of common variety materials.

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

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

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

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

Exploration stage companies have no need to discuss environmental matters, except as they relate to exploration activities. The only "cost and effect" of compliance with environmental regulations in the State of Arizona is returning the surface to its previous condition upon abandonment of the property. We will only be using "non-intrusive" exploration techniques and will not leave any indication that a sample was taken from the area. Gold Explorations LLC and the employees will be required to leave the area in the same condition as they found it - on a daily basis.

We have not allocated any funds from the proceeds of our public offering for the cost of reclamation of the property and the proceeds for the cost of reclamation will not be paid from the proceeds of the offering. Mr. Berrow, our president has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation should we not find mineralized material.

Subcontractors

We intend to use the services of Gold Explorations LLC who will supervise the subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties.

Employees and Employment Agreements

At present, we have no full-time employees. Our two officers and directors are part-time employees and each will devote about 10% of their time or four hours per week to our operation. Our officers and directors 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 our officers and directors. Our officers and directors will handle our administrative duties. Because our officers and directors are inexperienced with exploration, they will hire a qualified person for the, exploration program of the property. Mr. Steve Karolyi of Gold Explorations, LLC supervised the hiring of the labor to collect the 380 samples and the flagging of the sample sites.

Risks associated with ZONE MINING LIMITED

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

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

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

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

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

    We were incorporated on January 31, 2005 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 $62,004. To achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow we are dependent upon:

    *

    our ability to locate mineralized material

    *

    our ability to generate revenues

    *

    our ability to reduce exploration costs.

 

-9-


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

-10-


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

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

  2. NASD sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

    The NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock.

ITEM 2.     DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

Since April 18, 2006, our principal place of business and corporate offices is 7164 120th Street, Surrey, B.C., Canada. We lease our office space from Scottsdale Square Business Center. There is a formal service agreement with Scottsdale Square Business Centre. It is a month to month term for $171.20CDN per month, (approx. $152.00 USD).

Zone does not have any investments or interests in any real estate. Zone does not invest in real estate mortgages, nor does it invest in Securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

Dividends

We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that they may not be paid to render us insolvent. Dividend policy will be based on our cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.

Section Rule 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

The Company's shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.

Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items.

ITEM 6.     PLAN OF OPERATIONS.

Statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those projected. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and operating histories, regulatory delays or denials, ability to compete as a start-up company in a highly competitive market, and access to sources of capital.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this Form 10-KSB contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this Form 10-KSB should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Form 10-KSB. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.

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

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay for our expenses. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin exploiting our mineral properties. There is no assurance we will ever reach this point.

Accordingly, we must raise sufficient capital from sources other than the sale of minerals found on the property. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. We raised $50,000 from our public offering. Under this offering we sold 2,500,000 shares at $0.02 per share to 44 shareholders, thus we have a total of 3,250,000 shares issued and outstanding to 47 shareholders (includes the 3 directors of the company). As of April 30, 2006, we had cash on hand of $4,389. This probably will not enable us to fund operations for the next twelve months, and we will have to rely on additional loans from our directors.

We have used the above-mentioned funds to start to explore our resource property located in the northeast portion of the Belmont Mountain Range in western Maricopa County, Arizona. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this 10-KSB. We do not intend to acquire or dispose of any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months.

Our exploration target is to find an ore body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the property contains reserves.

We have retained Gold Explorations LLC to supervise the exploration work on the property.

 

-14-


Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we don't find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.

The initial offering produced sufficient funds to pay for the 2006 exploration program and administration costs for the next 12 months. However, if the Company required additional funds, we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or loans.

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

The property is undeveloped raw land. To our knowledge, the property has never been mined. The only event that has occurred is the locating and the recording of the lode mining claims under the direction of H.G. McNeill.

The work program was started April 25, 2006 and was finished on May 9, 2006. The soil and rock samples have been sent to Chemex Labs..A map with GPS coordinates for sample sites and assays of all samples need to be completed. The work program cost $15,000 USD.

Before minerals retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We can't predict what that will be until we find mineralized material.

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

The exploration program from 2006 consisted of establishing a grid mapping and sample collecting at regular intervals. The soil and rock chip samples were collected and analyzed for gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. The results are being plotted on a map to determine where the elevated areas of mineralization occur. We collected soil samples on 50 foot centers over the best looking areas on either 300 or 500 foot line spacing. Rock chip samples were taken where we had the best outcrop exposures. Based upon the results of the exploration Mr. Berrow will determine, in consultation with Gold Explorations LLC, if the property is to be dropped or further exploration work done. Mr. Berrow will not receive fees for his services. The proceeds from our offering were designed only to fund the costs of an exploration program recommended by H.G. McNeill, an Engineering Contractor. Additional funding will be required to take the property to a more advanced stage of exploration. We sent our samples to Chemex Labs.

The cost of the work program was $15,000. This was composed of $2,500 for supervision, which also includes map with sample locations, $3,750 for labor for collecting 380 samples and flagging sample sites and $8,750 for assays completed by Chemex Labs. We started the work program on April 25, 2006 and finished on May 9, 2006. The samples have been sent to Chemex Labs. It is estimated it will take up to three weeks to receive the assay results and the map with the GPS coordinates for sample sites.

 

-15-


If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we don't have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we can't or don't raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we don't know what we will do and we don't have any plans to do anything.

We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that will be hired by Gold Explorations LLC. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, and exploration.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

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

To become profitable and competitive, we will conduct into the research and exploration of our properties before we start production of any minerals we may find. We believe that the funds raised from our public offering will allow us to operate for at least one year.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To meet our need for cash we raised $50,000 from our public offering. We cannot guarantee that we have raised enough money through the public offering to stay in business. The money we have raised will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of the SB-2 filed with the SEC. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through debt financing.

We have discussed this matter with our officers and directors and Mr. Berrow has agreed to advance funds as needed and has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation of the property should mineralized material not be found thereon. There is no written agreement with Mr. Berrow to this affect. The agreement is entirely oral. We estimate cost of reclamation to be not more than $5,000. Mr. Berrow has advanced $29,830 to date. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through our public 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. The funds raised in our public offering, together with the loans advanced, will allow the company to operate for a minimum of one year. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

We acquired a lease that grants us the right to enter on a property which contains fifteen lode mining claims with our employees, representatives and agents, and to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the property. However, at this time, we do not have the rights to any of the minerals. The property is staked and we began the exploration work program on April 25,, 2006 and finished May 9, 2006.

-16-


Since inception, we have issued 3,250,000 shares of our common stock and received $65,000.

We received a $29,830 loan from Mr. Berrow, our President.

As of the date of this filing, we have yet to begin operations and therefore have not generated any revenues.

Since inception of the Company on January 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006, the Company has issued 3,250,000 common shares at $0.02 per share for total proceeds of $65,000. This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares. Albert Berrow covered our initial expenses of $15,000 for incorporation and legal fees and $14,830 for working capital. The amount owed to Mr. Berrow is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

As of March 31, 2006, our total assets were $43,245 and our total liabilities were $40,249.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. We have accumulated a deficit of $62,004 from inception to March 31, 2006. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. We have historically satisfied our working capital needs primarily by sales of securities and a loans payable from an officer of the company and at March 31, 2006, we had working capital of $2,996. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

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

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might be impaired and the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying value of the assets to the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets over their remaining economic lives and the eventual disposition of the assets. If the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets the assets are considered impaired, the impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying values. Fair value is determined by either a quoted market price or a value determined by a discounted cash flow technique, whichever is more appropriate under the circumstances involved.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders of Zone Mining Limited:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Zone Mining Limited (An Exploration Stage Company) as at March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2006 and period from inception (January 31, 2005 to March 31, 2005). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2006 and the period from inception (January 31, 2005 to March 31, 2005), in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is dependent upon financing to continue operations and had suffered recurring losses from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Zone Mining Limited

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2006 and 2005

Expressed in US Funds

 
 
     

1.

Organization and Going Concern

 

Zone Mining Limited (the "Company") was incorporated on January 31, 2005 in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. It is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

 

The Company is an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties. By Exploration Lease Agreement dated April 18, 2005, the Company has the right to conduct exploration work on 15 mineral mining claims in the Maricopa County, Arizona, U.S.A. and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. To date, the Company's activities have been limited to its formation and the raising of equity capital.

 
 

Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2006, the Company has working capital equity of $2,996 and an accumulated deficit of $62,004. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.

 

The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development and sale of ore reserves.

 

In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.

 

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

c)

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.

 
 

e)

Mineral Property Costs

 

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation in January 31, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

 
 

f)

Long Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable or at least at the end of each reporting period. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, management measures fair value based on quoted market prices or based on discounted estimates of future cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Number 119, "Disclosure About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amount due to related party approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these items. Certain fair value estimates may be subject to and involve, uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments in the management of its foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.

 
 

h)

Segmented Reporting

 

SFAS Number 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", changed the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their quarterly reports issued to shareholders. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers. Except for mineral property costs, which relate to operations in U.S.A., all other expenses, assets and liabilities relate to operations in Canada.

 
 

i)

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS Number 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is more likely than not.

 
 

j)

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement Number 128, "Earnings per Share," ("EPS") which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial operational, technological and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

 
 

l)

Foreign Currency Translations

 

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the US dollar. All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into the US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the US dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.

 
   

No significant realized exchange gain or losses were recorded in the period ended March 31, 2006.

 
 

m)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company's management also routinely assesses the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

 
 

n)

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company was not a party to any derivative financial instruments during the reported fiscal period.

o)

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, "Share Based Payment". SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". SFAS 123R does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans". SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The adoption of this accounting policy did not have any effect on prior periods.

 

As at March 31, 2006, the Company had no stock-based compensation plans nor had it granted options to employees. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss, as no options had been granted.

 
 

p)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. For the period ended March 31, 2006, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income. Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive loss for the period ended March 31, 2006.

 
 

q)

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company had no asset retirement obligation as of December 31, 2005.

Mineral Property Costs

 

By Exploration Lease Agreement dated April 18, 2005 with Gold Explorations LLC ("Gold"), the Company has the right to conduct exploration work on certain properties consisting of 15 unpatented mineral claims, known as the Black Rock Basin property ("the Property") located in the Maricopa County of Arizona, United States. The lease has a 25-year term and expires on April 18, 2030. The Company can terminate the lease at any time by giving a 30 days notice prior to an anniversary date.

As consideration, the Company is required to make annual lease payments of $10,000 (paid to date). All cash payments shall be made within 30 days of the anniversary date, otherwise the mineral property rights will revert back to Gold.

In addition, the Company must incur exploration expenditures in the amount of $15,000 with the work to be performed by Gold. Failure to fulfill the exploration expenditure requirement will result in the properties reverting back to Gold.

The Company is also responsible for maintaining the mineral claims in good standing by paying all the necessary rents, taxes and filing fees associated with the Property.

b)

The above transactions, occurring in the normal course of operations, are measured at the exchange amounts, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed by related parties.

None. Not applicable.

ITEM 8A.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Indemnification

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

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