Prospectus      , 2004


RAPA MINING INC.


625,000 shares of common stock to be sold by the registrant as issuer and 3,600,000 shares of common stock to be sold by current shareholders.


This is the initial public offering of common stock of Rapa Mining Inc. and no public market currently exists for these shares.  Rapa Mining Inc. is offering, on a “self-underwritten” best efforts basis, for sale up to a maximum of 625,000 shares and a minimum 312,500 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of one hundred and eighty days from the date of this prospectus. All funds received from the sale of the initial 312,500 shares of our common stock will be held in our attorney’s escrow account to be distributed to us when the minimum is achieved or promptly returned to the investors in the event the minimum number of shares are not sold before the offering is closed.  There are no minimum purchase requirements for investors in this offering. No commissions will be paid for the sale of the 625,000 shares offered by Rapa Mining Inc. Concurrent with this offering, our selling shareholders are selling 3,600,000 shares at $0.20 per share. The selling shareholder offering is concurrent with the offering of 625,000 shares at $0.20 per share by us. Both offerings are being registered pursuant to this prospectus.


This investment involves a high degree of risk.  See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.

Prospectus Summary


The following summary is a shortened version of more detailed information, exhibits and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety.


We propose to be in the business of mineral exploration. We have the option to purchase a 100% interest, as defined on page 21, in two mineral claims units located in the Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada which we refer to as the Chu Chua property. Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Chu Chua property in order to assess whether it possesses commercially exploitable reserves of minerals. We are an exploration stage company and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future development is determined. Our claim to this property has been recorded as claim no’s: 400498 and 400499, Kamloops Mining Division (Claim Map Sheet 092P040). Number of claim units: 16.


In mining language, we are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company. In our case, this means that we are involved in the examination and investigation of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. No commercially exploitable reserves have been found on the Chu Chua property and we cannot assure investors that any such reserves will be found.


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

The Offering


-

Price per share offered

$0.20

-

common stock currently outstanding

5,800,000 shares

-

common stock offered by the company

   625,000 shares

-

common stock to be outstanding after the offering

6,425,000 shares

(assuming all shares are sold)


Concurrent with this offering, our selling shareholders are selling 3,600,000 shares of common stock which represents over 62% of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus and over 85% of the common stock being offered in this registration statement. The 3,600,000 shares of common stock were issued for cash consideration of $0.01 per share in January 2004 which is significantly lower that the offering price to the public of $0.20 per share in this registration statement. The effect of the selling shareholders is they may be willing to sell at much lower prices than the $0.20 price per share in our offering. This may impeded our ability to raise capital in our registration statement and any subsequent secondary offerings. However, selling shareholders must sell their shares at a fixed price of $0.20 per share until the shares are successfully listed on the OTCBB. No arrangement is in place to counter this effect. The selling shareholder offering is concurrent with the offering of 625,000 shares at $0.20 per share by us. Both offerings are being registered pursuant to this prospectus.

Risk Factors


Risk factors affecting operating results.


Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. You may lose all or part of your investment in this offering.


If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.


Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the exploration of our mineral claims, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. As of August 9, 2004, we had cash on hand of $2,800. Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the Chu Chua property. The phase one exploration program on the property as recommended by our consulting geologist is estimated to cost approximately $15,000. We are proposing to raise all of this amount pursuant to this offering. We will require additional financing in order to complete the phase two activities.


We must make exploration expenditures on the Chu Chua property of at least $15,000 by October 31, 2004 in order to keep our option to acquire the property in good standing. If we cannot raise funds for the exploration expenditures, we must either renegotiate our agreement with the property vendor or lose any interest in the Chu Chua property. In the event of any of the above you could lose all or part of your investment in this offering.


Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure and this could result in a total loss of your investment.

7



We have not begun the initial stages of exploration of our mineral claims, and thus have no way to valuate the likelihood that we will be able to operate our business successfully. We were incorporated on December 11, 2003, and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of the mineral claims.  We have not earned any revenues and we never achieved profitability as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We have no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our business will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will likely fail and you will lose your entire investment in this offering.


Because our sole executive officer has only limited experience in mineral exploration and does not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk our business will fail.


Mr. Brian Cheston, our sole executive officer and a director, has only limited experience as an officer or director of a mineral exploration company and he does not have formal training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral exploration company.  As a result of this inexperience, there is a higher risk of our being unable to complete our business plan for the exploration of our mineral claims. In addition, we will have to rely on the technical services of others with expertise in geological exploration in order for us to carry our planned exploration program. If we are unable to contract for the services of such individuals, it will make it difficult and maybe impossible to pursue our business plan. There is thus a higher risk that our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm and our business will likely fail and you will lose your entire investment in this offering.


Because of the speculative nature of mineral property exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.


The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the Chu Chua property contains commercially exploitable reserves. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The exploration work that we intend to conduct on the Chu Chua property may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected rock formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan and you would lose your entire investment in this offering.


Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.


The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. We currently have no such insurance and nor do we expect to get such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all our assets resulting in the loss of your entire investment in this offering.


If we discover commercial reserves of precious metals on our mineral property, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully place the mineral claims into commercial production.

8



Our mineral property does not contain any known bodies of ore. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing ore of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the mineral claims into commercial production. In such an event, we may be unable to obtain any such funds or to obtain such funds on terms that we consider economically feasible and you may lose your entire investment in this offering.


Because access to our mineral claims is often restricted by inclement weather, we will be delayed in our exploration and any future mining efforts.


Access to the mineral claims is restricted to the period between May and October of each year due to snow and storms in the area. As a result, any attempts to visit, test or explore the property are largely limited to the few months out of the year when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts, as well as mining and production in the event that commercial amounts of minerals are found. Such delays can result in our failure to meet deadlines for exploration expenditures as defined in the mineral property option agreement. This will cause our business venture to fail and the loss of your entire investment in this offering unless we can negotiate an extension of the deadlines. .


As we undertake exploration of our mineral claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated time and cost of our exploration program.


There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict the exploration of minerals. We will be subject to the Mining Act of British Columbia as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these regulations. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our time and costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program.


If we do not obtain clear title to our mineral claims, our business may fail.


While we have obtained geological reports with respect to our mineral property, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. The property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims, and title may be affected by undetected defects. The Chu Chua property has not been surveyed and therefore, the precise location and boundaries of the property may be in doubt. We will likely complete a survey on the property as part of the proposed phase two exploration work program. If the survey results are defective, the claimholder will lose all right and title to the ground now held by the mineral claims. There may be legal remedies against the optionee, Rockcutter Capital Inc., if the representations and warranties provided in the option agreement are not accurate. However, there are no assurances of legal success and there are no assurances, if a legal claim was successful, that we would be compensated adequately to cover the losses on your investment in this offering. If we are unable to obtain clear title you may lose your entire investment in this offering.


Because we are a United States corporation, we are restricted from acquiring legal title to the British Columbia mineral claims directly and our business may fail.


Legal title of the mineral claims is currently with Rockcutter Capital Inc., a Canadian corporation with whom we’ve entered into an option agreement. If we exercise the option to acquire the mineral claims, we will not be able to acquire legal title to the mineral claims directly because the British Columbia Mineral Tenure Act requires all claimholders to be Canadian citizens or Canadian corporations, amongst other conditions. If we attempt to acquire legal title to the mineral claims directly, we will be unsuccessful because we are a Nevada corporation. We will have to seek an alternative method of acquiring legal title to the mineral claims, including the possibility of a nominee owner who will hold

9



the legal title on behalf of us. However, there are no assurances that we will ever be able to get legal title to the mineral claims, through a nominee or otherwise, and we could lose all right and title to the ground now held by the mineral claims. If we are unable to obtain legal title you may lose your entire investment in this offering.


Because market factors in the mining business are largely out of our control, we may not be able to market any ore that may be found.


The mining industry, in general, is intensively competitive and we can provide no assurance to investors even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered that a ready market will exist for the sale of any ore found.  Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in our not receiving an adequate return on invested capital and you may lose your entire investment in this offering.


We are required by our mineral property option agreement to incur $15,000 of expenditures for exploration work by October 31, 2004 and an additional $85,000 by October 31, 2005 and our venture will fail if we cannot raise these funds or extend the agreement.


Our mineral property agreement, dated January 5, 2004, requires us to incur $15,000 of expenditures for exploration work by October 31, 2004. We are further required, pursuant to this agreement, to incur exploration expenditures of $85,000 by October 31, 2005. Our venture will fail if we cannot raise these funds or extend the agreement. We conducted only preliminary negotiations with respect to extending this agreement, we have not sought a source for funding these expenditures, and, if we fail to make these expenditures, we may lose our mineral property option agreement with Rockcutter Capital Inc. and you could lose your entire investment in this offering.


If we complete a financing through the sale of additional shares of our common stock, then shareholders will experience dilution.


The offering price of $0.20 per share is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. As a result, investors purchasing common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $0.1837 per share if the maximum offering is completed. This dilution is due to earlier investors in our company having paid substantially less than the offering price when they purchased their shares. In addition, the most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the sale of shares of our common stock. Any sale of shares will result in dilution to investors participating in this offering and to existing shareholders, which may result in a decrease in the price our common stock and the loss of part or all of your investment in this offering.


Risks Related to the Securities Market


There is no liquidity and no public market for our common stock and it may prove impossible to sell your shares.


There is presently no demand for the common stock of our company. There is presently no public market in our shares. While we intend to apply for a quotation on the OTCBB, we cannot guarantee that our application will be approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. It may prove impossible to sell your shares.

10



This offering is being conducted on a “self underwriting” basis and we may be unable to obtain sufficient funds to become a viable company and you may lose your entire investment in this offering


Mr. Cheston, our sole officer and a director, on a “self underwriting” basis, is selling this offering. This means that no professional broker or dealer is involved in the offering of our shares and substantially increases the risk that we may be unable to sell all of our shares and may be undercapitalized. We may be unable to obtain sufficient funds to become a viable company and you may lose your entire investment in this offering.


We are competing with our selling securities holders in our sales in this offering and this may hurt our ability to sell.


Concurrently with our offering of 625,000 shares, our selling security holders are offering 3,600,000 shares of our stock.  We will not receive any proceeds from the sales, if any, of the 3,600,000 shares offered by our selling security holders. Because of this, our ability to sell shares and to raise necessary capital may be severely impeded. We could become worse impeded if our shares are quoted on the OTCBB, since our shareholders may sell at a price below $0.20 per share and this could severely impact upon or even destroy our ability to sell our 625,000 shares.


Our Auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, we were recently incorporated on December 11, 2003, and we do not have a history of earnings, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our management's plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 2. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Analysis of Financing Scenarios


We do not anticipate remunerating any our officers and directors from the proceeds of this offering and we have not allocated any working capital or general working capital for any such remuneration from the proceeds of this offering.


Mr. Brian Cheston, our president, has verbally indicated to us that he will advance up to $45,000 over the next six months in order to enable us to proceed with this offering. These funds will be advanced to pay for the estimated offering costs of approximately $26,000 and incur the $15,000 in exploration expenditures on the Chu Chua property due by October 31, 2004. Mr. Cheston has verbally agreed that these funds would be advanced as a shareholder loan, would bear no interest and would have no maturity date other than any accumulated shareholder loans for the purpose of paying for our offering costs and exploration expenditures on the Chu Chua property will be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering. To date, we have not issued any shareholder loans and Mr. Cheston is not legally obligated to provide this funding.


Table 1


Under table 1, 100% or 625,000 of the shares being offered (maximum offering) will be sold for gross proceeds of $125,000. The offering should provide adequate capital to fund the costs of the offering, fund the phase one exploration work program on the mineral claims, fund the necessary filing fees on the mineral claims over the next twelve months and fund the basic operating costs of our operations over the next twelve months. The excess of proceeds above these costs is $67,000 and is allocated to general working capital.

Under table 2, 75% or 468,750 of the shares being offered will be sold for gross proceeds of $93,750. The offering should provide adequate capital to fund the costs of the offering, fund the phase one exploration work program on the mineral claims, fund the necessary filing fees on the mineral claims over the next twelve months and fund the basic operating costs of our operations over the next twelve months. The excess of proceeds above these costs is $35,750 and is allocated to general working capital.


Table 3


Under table 3, 50% or 312,500 of the shares being offered (minimum offering) will be sold for gross proceeds of $62,500. All funds received from the sale of the initial 312,500 shares of our common stock will be held in our attorney’s escrow account to be distributed to us when the minimum is achieved or promptly returned to the investors in the event the minimum number of shares are not sold before the Offering is closed. The offering should provide adequate capital to fund the costs of the offering, fund the phase one exploration work program on the mineral claims, fund the necessary filing fees on the

12



mineral claims over the next twelve months and fund the basic operating costs of our operations over the next twelve months. The excess of proceeds above these costs is $4,500 and is allocated to general working capital.


General working capital


General working capital is allocated to costs overruns of the phase one exploration work program and/or cost overruns on our twelve month working capital requirements. These costs are estimates and, given the uncertain nature of mineral exploration, can often rise due to unforeseen or unexpected circumstance beyond our control. The use of the general working capital will not vary except in the following circumstances:


*

If during the phase one work program, our consulting geologist recommends that we materially expand the phase one work program, we may decide use all or part of the general working capital to fund this additional work.


*

If our determination is to proceed with the phase two work program upon the completion of the phase one work program, we may decide to use all or part of the general working capital to commence work on the phase two exploration program. However, phase two is budgeted for $85,000, an amount which exceeds the available general working capital and we will be required to raise additional funds to complete the phase two exploration work program.


*

If our determination is not to proceed with the phase two exploration work program upon the completion of the phase one work program, we may decide to use all or part of the general working capital to perform due diligence on the possible acquisition of additional resource properties. Such expenses may include purchase investigation costs such as professional fees by consulting geologists, preparation of geological reports on the properties, conducting title searches and travel costs for site visits. It is anticipated that such costs will not be sufficient to acquire any resources property and additional funds will be required to close any possible acquisition.


*

If our determination is not to proceed with the phase two exploration work program upon the completion of the phase one work program, we may decide to use all or part of the general working capital to keep us in good standing with the appropriate regulatory authorities beyond the twelve month period following the date of this prospectus. The general working capital will be used primarily for legal and accounting costs required for filing our quarterly and annual reports.


Determination of Offering Price


The offering price was arbitrarily established by management and does not reflect market value, assets or any established criteria of valuation.

Dilution


Rapa Mining, Inc., prior to this offering has 5,800,000 shares of stock issued and outstanding. 3,600,000 of these shares are being registered for sale by our present shareholders in this prospectus. The selling shareholder offering is concurrent with the offering of 625,000 shares at $0.20 per share by us. Both offerings are being registered pursuant to this prospectus.


The following table illustrates the difference between the price paid by present shareholders and the price to be paid by subscribers to this offering.

The above table indicates that our net tangible book value as of April 30, 2004 was $0.0009. Our net tangible book value has decreased from $0.0024 as at January 31, 2004 due to the operating loss experienced during the three month period ended April 30, 2004 of $8,330 and a resulting decrease in working capital.


If half of this offering were subscribed to, you would lose $0.1931 cents value (96.6%) of the $0.20 cents you paid per share. If three quarters of this offering were subscribed to, you would lose $0.1883 cents value (94.2%) of the $0.20 cents you paid per share. If all of the offering were completed you would still lose $0.1837 cents (91.9%) per share of the $0.20 cents you invested.


“Dilution” means the difference between our public offering price of $0.20 per share and our pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our tangible net worth, consisting of tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The above table shows the net tangible book value of our shares both before and after the completion of this offering.

Except as otherwise noted in the above list, the named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to these shares.  The numbers in this table assume that none

16



of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 5,800,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the date of this prospectus.


None of the selling shareholders or their beneficial owners:


-

has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or

-

has ever been one of our officers or directors or an officer or director of our predecessors or affiliates.

-

are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers.


Plan of Distribution

General


We will attempt to sell a maximum of 625,000 shares of our common stock to the public on a “self underwritten” basis. There can be no assurance that any of these shares will be sold. Our gross proceeds will be $125,000 if all the shares offered are sold. Neither we nor our officer or directors, nor any other person, will pay commissions or other fees, directly or indirectly, to any person or firm in connection with solicitation of the sales of the shares.


The Escrow Account


We have established an escrow account with our attorney, Joseph I. Emas (who will act as Escrow Agent), wherein funds will be held until such time as the minimum offering amount of 312,500 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.20 per share has been subscribed for. Prior to the completion of the minimum offering, subscribers shall have their payments deposited into the Escrow Agent’s non-interest bearing attorney’s account. If we do not complete the minimum offering within 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus, the Escrow Agent shall forthwith promptly return each subscriber’s respective subscription funds. If we complete the minimum offering within 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus and provide the Escrow Agent with certificates representing the shares of common stock subscribed for by the subscribers, the Escrow Agent shall forthwith release the subscription funds to us.


The following discussion addresses the material terms of the plan of distribution.


There is currently no market for any of our shares and little likelihood that a public market for such securities will develop after the closing of this offering or be sustained if developed. As such, investors may not be able to readily dispose of any shares purchased in this offering. Shares will be sold in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act. Our sole executive officer, Mr. Brian Cheston, shall conduct the offering. Although Mr. Cheston is the associated person as that term is defined in Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act, our counsel, Joseph I. Emas has advised us that Mr. Cheston will not be deemed to be a broker or dealer in the sale of our securities. Mr. Emas’s opinion with respect to our stock is included as an exhibit to this registration statement. More particularly Mr. Cheston satisfies Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act for the following reasons:


* Mr. Cheston is not subject to a statutory disqualification as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act at the time of his participation in the sale of our securities.


* Mr. Cheston will not be compensated for his participation in the sale of our securities by the payment of commission or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities.


* Mr. Cheston is not associated persons of a broker or dealers at the time of his participation in the sale of our securities.

17



* Mr. Cheston meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(iii) of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act and accordingly he will restrict his participation to the following activities:


a) Preparing any written communication or delivering any communication through the mails or other means that does not involve oral solicitation by him of a potential purchaser;


b) Responding to inquiries of potential purchasers in a communication initiated by the potential purchasers, provided however, that the contents of responses are limited to information contained in a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or other offering document;


c) Performing ministerial and clerical work involved in effecting any transaction.


Mr. Cheston is fully aware of the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act and will conduct this offering in accordance with Rule 3a4-1, and will rely upon this rule. Should Mr. Cheston conduct this offering in any way that violates Rule 3a4-1, he and we could be subjected to enforcement proceedings, fines and sanctions by the Securities and Exchange Commission and by the regulatory authorities of any state or province in which our securities are offered.


Mr. Cheston and our other director, Mr. Chung, as well as all current shareholders, may purchase securities in this offering upon the same terms and conditions as public investors without limitation. Mr. Cheston, Mr. Chung, as well as current shareholders may purchase securities in this offering to reach the minimum offering amount. We have informed Mr. Cheston and our other director, Mr. Chung that while they are purchasing the securities, they (1) are required to comply with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as described in more detail below), (2) may not engage in any stabilization activity, except as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (3) are required to furnish each broker-dealer (who may offer the common stock to be resold by our shareholders) copies of this prospectus, and (4) may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any such securities except as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


Regulation M under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security.  Mr. Cheston and Mr. Chung, if they purchase securities to reach the minimum offering, will either (i) purchase securities after the completion of the offering in order to reach the minimum amount; or (ii) make such purchases in reliance on an exemption pursuant to Regulation M, particularly that of purchases of securities from an issuer or selling security holder in connection with a distribution, that are not effected on a securities exchange, or through an inter-dealer quotation system or electronic communications network.


Mr. Cheston intends to deliver copies of the registration statement to close friends, relatives, former investors and business associates with a view to having them subscribe for shares of the offering. The registration statement will also be shown to other persons that Mr. Cheston thinks may have an interest in investing in us. Mr. Cheston will respond to inquiries of potential purchasers who have reviewed the registration statement and have questions regarding the offering. Mr. Cheston’ responses will be limited to the contents of the registration statement. He will not provide investors with any ancillary information. Mr. Cheston intends to contact all the investors who received a copy of the registration statement to see if the investor wishes to participate in the offering. The process will continue until we decide to close the offering or cease selling efforts.


The offering will remain open for a period until _______, 2004 or 180 days from the date of this prospectus, unless the entire gross proceeds are earlier received or we decide, in our sole discretion, to cease selling efforts.

18



Concurrent with this offering, our selling shareholders are selling 3,600,000 shares of common stock which represents over 62% of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus and over 85% of the common stock being offered in this registration statement. The 3,600,000 shares of common stock were issued for cash consideration of $0.01 per share in January 2004 which is significantly lower that the offering price to the public of $0.20 per share in this registration statement. The effect of the selling shareholders is they may be willing to sell at much lower prices than the $0.20 price per share in our offering once our shares are successfully listed on the OTCBB. This may impeded our ability to raise capital in our registration statement and any subsequent secondary offerings. No arrangement is in place to counter this effect. The selling shareholder offering is concurrent with the offering of 625,000 shares at $0.20 per share by us. Both offerings are being registered pursuant to this prospectus.


While the registration statement is effective, selling shareholders may sell their shares directly to the public at price of $0.20 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCBB, if ever, and thereafter at the prevailing market price of the OTCBB, without the aid of a broker or dealer, or they may sell their shares through a broker or dealer. Any commission, fee or other compensation of a broker or dealer would depend on the brokers or dealers involved in the transaction.


The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:


1. On such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading;

2.  In privately negotiated transactions;

3.  Through the writing of options on the common stock;

4.  In short sales; or

5.  In any combination of these methods of distribution.


After listing on the OTCBB, the sales price offered by the selling shareholders to the public may be:


1.  The market price prevailing at the time of sale;

2.  A price related to such prevailing market price; or

3.  Such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time.


Regulation M


During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares we are registering by this registration statement, we are required to comply with Regulation M. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M defines a “distribution” as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a “distribution participant” as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.


Penny Stock Rules


The Securities Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

19



A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.


The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:


*

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

*

contains a description of the broker's or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements;

*

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask”  prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

 

*

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

*

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and

*

contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format)  as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.


The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:


*

with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

*

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

*

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

*

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's  account.


In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.


Rule 144 Shares


A total of 2,200,0000 shares of our common stock are available for resale to the public after December 18, 2004 in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company's common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:


1.  1% of the number of shares of the company’s common stock then outstanding which, in our case, will equal approximately 58,000 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or

20



2.  the average weekly trading volume of the company’s common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding  the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.


Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the company.


Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of the company's affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.


As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our affiliates hold 2,000,000 of the shares that will be eligible for Rule 144 sales. These persons would, however, be subject to the volume limitations discussed above and would not become eligible to use Rule 144(k) until at least three months after resigning as an officer and director, and then only if they retained less than 10% of the aggregate amount of common shares then outstanding.


We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock by such selling shareholders.


The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:


1.  Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;


2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and


3.  Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act.


No public market currently exists for our shares of common stock.  We intend to apply to have our shares traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). The OTCBB, is a securities market but should not be confused with the NASDAQ market. OTCBB companies are subject to far less restrictions and regulations than are companies traded on the NASDAQ market. However there is no assurance that we can be traded on the OTCBB and the NASD, which regulates the OTCBB, has applied to the SEC to allow additional restrictions and requirements upon the part of OTCBB securities. We currently do not meet either the existing requirements or the proposed additional restrictions and requirements of the OTCBB, and we cannot assure you that we will ever meet these requirements.

Cheston may be deemed to be our founder and promoter. Mr. Cheston participated in the initial private placement of our securities on December 18, 2003, purchasing 2,000,000 shares at a price of $0.001 per share.


Description of Business


We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.  By a mineral property agreement with Rockcutter Capital Inc., an arms length British Columbia corporation, dated January 5, 2004, we have the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Chu Chua property. This property consists of two mineral claims located approximately 15 miles north of the town of Barriere in the Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada. Each claim is comprised of eight units, with each unit being a parcel of property reserved for mineral exploration that consists of 21.25 hectares. The total area of the Chu Chua property is approximately 340 hectares. Both claims are in good standing with the Province of British Columbia until February 19, 2005.


During the period from incorporation, December 11, 2003, to the date of this prospectus, we have raised capital through the sale of shares of our common stock in order to cover administrative expenses, the costs of the geological report and fund the cash payment for the option on the Chu Chua property.


Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral.  To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on the Chu Chua property, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.


We do not consider ourselves to be a blank check as the term is defined in Regulation C, Rule 419, and we do not intend to merge with or acquire another company in the foreseeable future.


Chu Chua Property Agreement


In order to maintain our option to acquire the property in good standing, we must provide the following consideration to the Rockcutter Capital Inc.:


Cash Payment


We have paid Rockcutter Capital Inc. the sum of $10,000 cash upon execution of the option agreement.  No further cash consideration is due pursuant to the agreement.


Exploration Expenditures and Termination Deadlines


To avoid termination of the option agreement, we must incur at least $100,000 in exploration expenditures on the Chu Chua property as follows:


a) At least $15,000 by midnight on October 31, 2004; and


b) A further $85,000 by midnight on October 31, 2005.

26



If the above exploration expenditures have not been made by the prescribed deadlines, the option agreement will terminate and we will lose any and all rights to earn the mineral claims.


Issuance of Shares


We issued 200,000 shares in our capital stock to Rockcutter Capital Inc. upon execution of the option agreement. The 200,000 shares were issued at a deemed value of $2,000 or $0.01 per share, which was the same price per share that we sold our common stock for cash in January 2004. No further share issuances are required.


The total consideration paid to Rockcutter Capital Inc. upon execution of the option agreement was $12,000. The valuation of the option agreement was negotiated between our management and Rockcutter Capital Inc. and took into account the fact that prior mineral exploration work had been completed on the property in the amount estimated to be between $50,000 and $75,000. The mineral claims also offered accessibility by an existing paved highway and through existing logging roads which might increase the commercial viability of production of the mineral claims if commercially exploitable reserves are ever found.


Recording of the Mineral Claims


The Chu Chua mineral claims consist of two mineral claims located in the Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada. Rockcutter Capital Inc., a British Columbia owns the mineral claims pursuant to the British Columbia Mining Tenure Act. The mineral claims have the following legal description:




Name of

Mining Claim


Tenure Number


Map Number


Expiry Date

Chu Chua 1

400498

098P040

February 19, 2005

Chu Chua 3

400499

098P040

February 19, 2005


The two mineral claims were staked in February 2003 by Rockcutter Capital Inc. to cover an area of potential gold and copper mineralization, as identified by Rockcutter Capital Inc. Each mineral claim is effective until February 19, 2005. Rockcutter Capital Inc. is the beneficial owner of title to the mineral claims and no other person has any interest in the mineral claims, subject to our agreement to incur at least $100,000 in exploration expenditures with Rockcutter Capital Inc. by October 31, 2005.


If we exercise the option to acquire the mineral claims, we will not be able to acquire legal title to the mineral claims directly because the British Columbia Mineral Tenure Act requires all claimholders to be Canadian citizens or Canadian corporations, amongst other conditions. If we attempt to acquire legal title to the mineral claims directly, we will be unsuccessful because we are a Nevada corporation. We will likely engage a nominee owner who will hold the legal title on behalf of us. However, there are no assurances that we will ever be able to get legal title to the mineral claims, through a nominee or otherwise.


In order to maintain our mineral claims in good standing, we must complete exploration work on the mineral claims and file confirmation of the completion of work on the mineral claims with the applicable mining recording office of the Province of British Columbia. Currently, exploration work with a minimum value of $75 per unit is required during each year. Our claims encompass 16 units so our yearly commitment for exploration expenditures with the Province of British Columbia is $1,200. If we do not complete this minimum amount of exploration work, we may pay a fee of $75 per unit each year and bypass this requirement.


27



The British Columbia Mineral Tenure Act allows companies that do not wish to record all of their exploration expenditures during a year, to carry the excess in a portable credit account. The portable credits may be used in future years or may be used for other mineral claims in the province of British Columbia to satisfy the exploration work commitment. In February of 2004, we purchased $1,200 in portable credits from an unrelated third party for $520 and recorded the portable credits as payment in lieu of assessment work and a renewal certificate was issued by the Province of British Columbia extending the original expiration date from February 20, 2004 to February 19, 2005


The completion of mineral exploration work or payment in lieu of exploration work in any year will extend the existence of our mineral claims for one additional year. As our mineral claims are effective until February 19, 2005, we must file confirmation of the completion of exploration work in the minimum amount of $75 or make a payment in lieu or exploration work in the amount of $75 by February 19, 2005. If we fail to complete the minimum required amount of exploration work or fail to make a payment in lieu of this exploration work, then our mineral claims will lapse on February 19, 2005 and we will lose all interest that we have in these mineral claims. We are obligated to pay all filing fees to keep the mineral claims in good standing while the option agreement is in effect.


Technical Information Regarding the Property


The Chu Chua property is the subject of a geological report prepared by Jim Chapman, B.Sc., P. Geo., dated January 9, 2004. The following description of the Chu Chua property is summarized from Mr. Chapman’s report.  We paid $7,748 to Mr. Chapman for the preparation of this report.


There is no relationship between Mr. Chapman and us, our officers, our directors or our affiliates.


Location and Access.


The subject property lies 15 miles north of the small town of Barriere, in south central British Columbia. Located within the Kamloops Mining District, the property’s geographical coordinates are: North Latitude: 51o 23’, West Longitude: 120o 03’ (NTS Mapsheet 092P/08E). The area is approximately 165 miles northwest of Vancouver.


Access to the property can be gained by paved road north from Barriere to a network of logging roads. The general area has seen extensive clear-cut logging in the past, however we are not familiar with the current status of logging activity and associated roads.

Physiography and Climate


Topographic relief within the claim area ranges from about 4000 feet to 7,200 feet. Fieldwork is therefore generally limited to the period from late May to mid October due to significant accumulations of snow. Lower elevations support mature stands of spruce, balsam and pine however these become stunted and sparser above 5900 feet, typical of sub-alpine and alpine environments.


Claim Information


Rockcutter Capital Inc. holds title to two modified grid claims totaling 16 units, effectively covering approximately 340 hectares. Claim information summarized is as stated in government claim records and is current as of the date of this report.


The claims lie immediately adjacent to one of three claims held by a third party that covers the Chu Chua massive sulphide copper deposit. The deposit lies in the northeast corner of the CC 1 claim.


History and Previous Work


The area currently under option to us was formerly covered by various claims over the years.  These were part of a large block that was staked following the original discovery in 1977, by Craigmont Mines Limited, of what is now known as the Chu Chua copper deposit, which is currently held by a third party.  


During the course of a regional geochemical survey a large gossan anomalous in copper was discovered. A gossan is rusty colored rock that is exposed on the surface of a property.  The gossan occurs as a result of the iron contained in the rock coming into contact with oxygen in the air. The presence of iron in the rock is significant, because it often is found in the vicinity of precious metals such as gold and industrial metals such as copper.


Prospecting determined that the gossan had been transported downslope, and led to the discovery upslope of a smaller gossan anomalous in copper and associated with a northerly striking massive iron oxide body. These showings were covered by the claims that adjoin the Chu Chua claims optioned to us.


From 1978 until 1991 numerous exploration programs were conducted, including grid controlled soil geochemical surveys, electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical surveys, airborne geophysical surveys and numerous drill programs. Geochemical work involves the gathering of rock and soil samples from property areas with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization based on past exploration results. These samples are then sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analysed for metal content.


Electromagnetic surveys involve measuring whether or not rocks on the surface and subsurface of the property conduct electricity. Copper and gold are excellent conductors of electricity. Areas of high conductivity are targets for follow-up exploration.


Magnetic surveys involve searching for changes in the magnetic field over property areas.  Magnetic anomalies may be a result of accumulations of certain magnetic rocks such as phrrhotite, hematite and magnetite. These rock types are often found alongside base metals such as copper, zinc and nickel, or precious metals such as gold and silver.


Airborne geophysical surveys is the search for mineral deposits by measuring the physical property of near-surface rocks through the use of an airplane in order to detect, unusual responses caused by the presence of mineralization. Electrical, magnetic, gravitational, seismic and radioactive properties are the ones most commonly measured.

29



Drilling involves extracting a long cylinder of rock from the ground to determine amounts of metals at different depths.  Pieces of the rock obtained, known as drill core, are analysed for mineral content.  


Although the main focus of this previous work was the deposit itself and the immediate area, some of the surveys and possibly a few drill holes took place within the confines of the ground now covered by the Chu Chua claims.


Conclusions and Recommendations


Mr. Jim Chapman’s geological report recommends a phase one exploration work program on the Chu Chua property that will include a thorough review of all available data from the exploration that took place on the Chu Chua deposit itself and on areas around it, some of which will have included the Chu Chua claims optioned to us. This review would also include the numerous provincial and federal government publications that attempted to define the geological framework of the deposit area. The review is considered a much more comprehensive and detailed review than the general review Mr. Chapman undertook in preparing the geological report. The phase one will include reviewing all the detailed reports underlying the government publications as well as reviewing all available assessment reports filed by prior claimholders that detail prior exploration work performed on the mineral claims and surrounding mineral claims. There are at least a dozen assessment reports to be analyzed that will provide detailed information on prior work programs, including geochemical, geophysical and drilling programs. The phase one work program will also entail the digitalization of prior data into a geographical information system database for further analysis. The more recent alteration study may also provide information that may lead to the discovery of previously unrecognized indicators. The data from regional geochemical stream sediment surveys conducted by the provincial government should also be incorporated.


Digitalization involves converting materials in various formats into a digital (computer readable) format to be electronically available. This process is usually some form of scanning, and then attaching descriptive records to that scanned file. Geographical information system is a system of hardware and software used for storage, retrieval, mapping, and analysis of geographic data. Spatial features are stored in a coordinate system (latitude/longitude, etc.), which references a particular place on the earth. Spatial data and associated attributes in the same coordinate system can then be layered together for mapping and analysis.


Once this information has been assembled, a short field program conducted by a geologist and an assistant should be completed to become familiar with the overall geological picture and to facilitate the planning of the phase two work program. The field work will consist of a site visit and is expected to take four or five days to complete. The geologist and the assistant will examine the areas of interest on the mineral claims that were identified by the review of available data. The field work is also intended to identify any visible rock exposures and rock outcrops that may warrant further investigation and to substantiate previous geological mapping. The field work will also examine logistic issues for the mineral claims including physical access to the different areas of the mineral claims for the anticipated phase two work program. Phase one will also include an updated geological report with an independent analysis and recommendation on the mineral claims. A budget of $15,000 is estimated for phase one. To date, no exploration expenditures have been spent by us on the Chu Chua property.


Our board of directors will make a determination whether to proceed with phase two of the exploration program upon completion of phase one of the exploration program by the geologist and the review of the results of phase one. In completing this determination, we will make an assessment as to whether the results of phase one are sufficiently positive to enable us to achieve any financing that may be necessary for us to proceed with phase two of the exploration program. This assessment will include an assessment of the market for financing of junior mineral exploration projects at the time of our


30



assessment. If we decide not to proceed with phase two, the option agreement will terminate on October 31, 2005 when we will have failed to meet our exploration expenditure commitment of $100,000 on the mineral claims.  


Phase two will consist of detailed follow-up geological mapping and prospecting of the claim area, with grid controlled geochemical and geophysical surveys as required to cover areas of specific interest as identified in phase one. Phase two is intended to identify the geological environment underlying the mineral claims and a detailed mineralization map to scale should be produced. A geologist and a camp consisting of five or six crew members will conduct a field program. Under the supervision of the geologist, the crew will collect sediment samples for geochemical analysis on the areas of interest identified in phase one. This field work is expected to take place over a two or three week period and the analysis of the sediment samples is expected to take an additional two to three weeks. This level of surveying and sampling will provide a higher level of reconnaissance information for the mineral claims. Phase two will also include an updated geological report with an independent analysis and recommendation on the mineral claims. A budget of $85,000 is estimated for phase two.


Again, our board of directors will make a determination whether to proceed with the next phase of the exploration program upon completion of phase two. In completing this determination, we will make an assessment as to whether the results are sufficiently positive to enable us to achieve any financing that may be necessary for us to proceed. The next phase of the exploration program would likely be comprised of a small drill program and a geological interpretation of the results of the drilling program. The drilling program would require access to the site of the mineral claims with drilling equipment, the issuance of a work permit and the posting of a bond. The estimated cost of completion of this phase of the exploration program is approximately $250,000. Positive drilling results at this phase could indicate zones of mineralization but will not indicate, in any way, mineral reserves.


We have not chosen anyone specific to conduct exploration work on the property. We intend to choose a geologist recognized in the province of British Columbia who has had experience working in the regional area of the property.


We intend to use the proceeds from this offering to commence the recommended phase one program. We will need to raise additional capital to complete the phase two program.


Compliance with Government Regulation


We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada generally, and in the Province of British Columbia, specifically. Under these laws, any work that utilizes mechanical equipment and disturbs the surface of the land must first submit a notice of work and reclamation as prescribed by the British Columbia Mines Act. Once the notice of work and reclamation has been approved, a permit will be issued which may entail the posting of a bond. The first two phases of exploration work will not require the work permit and posting of a bond because there will be no mechanical equipment on site and there will be no disturbance to the surface and we have the right to explore the property. The proposed phase three drilling program will require a permit and a bond. The expected time to receive the permit is between one and three months and the costs of obtaining the permit are anticipated to be approximately $5,000.


Any proposal to commence production of minerals will require prior approval of applicable governmental regulatory agencies including, but not limited to, the regional Mines Branch in Kamloops, British Columbia. The proposal will be reviewed by the Kamloops Mines Development Review Committee which has representatives of the various government agencies who are involved in the referral and review process for notices of work and reclamation.  The proposal will also be sent to the appropriate First Nation(s) for review and comment. Approval in principle of the proposed

31



production then leads to permitting. The district inspector of Mines may attach terms and conditions to the Mines Act permit which reflect the deliberations of the Kamloops Mines Development Review Committee.  The amount of reclamation bonding is also established by the district inspector of Mines. If the terms and conditions and the security amount is acceptable to the applicant, the Mines Act permit is then issued. The timing of the approval will likely take one to two years and the costs of the proposal, feasibility studies and environmental studies are expected to be in excess of $400,000. We can provide no assurance to investors that such approvals will be obtained. The cost and delay involved in attempting to obtain such approvals cannot be known at this time.


We will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental mediation for all exploration and development work undertaken. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work programs. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings, our competitive position or us in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.


If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in phase one because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment.


Examples of regulatory requirements include:


-     Water discharge will have to meet water standards;


-     Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;


-     Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated;


-     An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;


-     Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;


-    The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and


-    There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora.


During the second phase of exploration, a bond may be needed to cover possible land disturbance. In the case of normal fieldwork, this should be minimal. The costs of compliance with environmental regulations in the production phase are variable and cannot be determined at this time.


Competitive Conditions


The base metal mining industry is highly fragmented and we will be competing with many other exploration companies looking for base metals. We are one of the smallest exploration companies and are an infinitely small participant in the base metal exploration business. While we generally compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration of minerals from our claims. Readily available base metal markets exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of base metals if we ever experience production. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any base metals if we ever successfully discover and recover any base metals.


We are a junior mineral exploration company. We compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies

32



may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.


We will also be competing with other junior and senior mineral companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.


Employees


As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any employees other than our officer. We intend to retain independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on the Chu Chua property.


Research and Development Expenditures


We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.


Subsidiaries


We do not have any subsidiaries.


Patents and Trademarks


We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.


Plan of Operations


Our plan of operations for the twelve months following the date of this registration statement is to complete the following objectives within the time periods specified, subject to our obtaining the funding necessary for the continued exploration of the Chu Chua property and for the acquisition and exploration of additional mineral properties:


1.  We plan to conduct the recommended phase one exploration program on the Chu Chua property consisting of a thorough review of all available data on the Chu Chua property and a short field program. We anticipate that the cost of this part of this program will be approximately $15,000. We expect to commence this exploration program in the late summer or early fall of 2004 when exploration of the property is easier to conduct. Typically, over one meter of snow accumulates on the Chu Chua property during the winter. We expect to complete the exploration program over one month.


2. We intend to commence the phase two program described in the geological report and estimated to cost $85,000. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional funding in order to conduct the phase two program and that this phase would be conducted during the late spring or early summer of 2005 and will take approximately six to eight weeks to complete.


3.

If the results of our exploration indicates that land in the vicinity of the mineral claims is prospective and provides synergies with our exploration work programs, we may attempt to stake additional mineral claims or attempt to enter into joint venture or option agreements with surrounding claimholders to earn an interest in further mineral claims, subject to available financing.  


4. We anticipate spending approximately $1,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per

33



month for the next twelve months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees and general office expenses.


As at August 9, 2004, we had cash reserves of $2,800 which will sustain our minimum operations for approximately four months. However, we will need an additional $26,000 to cover the anticipated offering costs prior to the closing of this offering. In addition, due to the option agreement requirement to incur at least $15,000 in exploration expenditures on the Chu Chua property by October 31, 2004, we will need an additional $15,000 to avoid termination of the option agreement prior to the closing of this offering. We have had preliminary discussions with Rockcutter Capital Inc. to extend the deadline of October 31, 2004 but have not entered into any amending agreement and there are no assurances that an amending agreement will be entered into.


Mr. Brian Cheston, our president, has indicated to us that he will advance up to $45,000 over the next six months in order to enable us to proceed with this offering and incur the required exploration expenditures on the Chu Chua property by October 31, 2004. We anticipate that these funds would be advanced as a shareholder loan and would be paid out of the proceeds of this offering. However, Mr. Cheston is not legally obligated to provide this funding.


Our completion of the phase two work program and investigation and acquisition of additional mineral property interests is subject to us obtaining adequate financing as each of these expenditures will exceed our cash reserves. During the 12-month period following the date of this registration statement, we do not anticipate generating any revenue. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund the phase two exploration program.  In the absence of such financing, our business plan will fail.


We may consider entering into a joint venture partnership to provide the required funding to develop the mineral claims. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner for the mineral claims. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in the property to the joint venture partner.


Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future.


We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral properties in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:


-  our ability to raise additional funding


-  the market for base minerals such as zinc, copper and silver


-  results of our proposed exploration programs on the Chu Chua property


-  our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of our property interests


If we are successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our company.  In the event we are not successful in raising additional financing, we anticipate that we will not be able to proceed with our business plan. In such a case, we may decide to discontinue our current business plan and seek other business opportunities. In the event no other such opportunities are available, we may be forced to discontinue business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities in mind and have not planned for any such contingency.

34



Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


If we find sufficient evidence that warrants further mineral exploration in phase two, we would likely conduct drilling on the mineral claims to determine if mineralization zones exist.  If we decide to conduct drilling on the mineral claims, we will require additional funding. The cost of such a program cannot be determined until results from the first two phases of exploration are completed.  However, we estimate that such a program will cost approximately $250,000.


We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund additional phases of exploration. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration.  We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.


Currently, Mr. Cheston devotes approximately ten hours per week and Mr. Chung devotes approximately one hour a week on our business. During periods of active exploration, Mr. Chung is expected to devote ten hours a week to the exploration program.


Results of Operations


We have had no operating revenues since our inception on December 11, 2003 through to April 30, 2004. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions. From our inception, on December 11, 2003, to April 30, 2004, we have raised a total of $38,000 from private offerings of our securities.


For the three month period ended April 30, 2004, we incurred operating costs of $8,330. These operating costs included $6,626 in professional fees for the ongoing legal and accounting costs of this offering. We also incurred filing fees during the three month period ended April 30, 2004 of $1,474 for  uploading our filings to Edgar.


For the period from inception, December 11, 2003, to April 30, 2004, we incurred operating costs of $34,447. These operating costs included $19,748 in mineral property expenditures consisting of the $10,000 payment for the option to purchase the Chu Chua property, the deemed value of $2,000 for the issuance of 200,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the payment for the option to purchase of the Chu Chua property and $7,748 representing the cost of the geological report on the Chu Chua property. In addition, we incurred $11,873 in professional fees during the period for legal and accounting services in connection with this offering. We also incurred filing fees during the period of $2,478 for the filing fee costs associated with incorporation, the ongoing filing fees to keep the Chu Chua property in good standing and our filings on Edgar.


Liquidity and Capital resources


At April 30, 2004, we had cash on hand of $7,406 and working capital of $5,553. This compares with cash on hand of $18,883 and working capital of $13,883 as at January 31, 2004.


We have funded our business to date from sales of our common stock. Gross proceeds from the sale of our common shares during the period from inception, on December 11, 2003, through to the year ended January 31, 2004, totaled $38,000. This compares with no such proceeds for the three month period ended April 30, 2004. Cash used in operating activities was $11,477 for the three month period ended April 30, 2004 which primarily consisted of the net loss during the period of $8,330. This compares to

35



cash used in operating activities of $19,117 for the period from inception on December 11, 2003 to the year ended January 31, 2004 which reflects the costs of the option agreement and the costs of our operations.


There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of the mineral claims and our venture will fail.


In the next 12 months, we are required to incur exploration expenditures totaling $15,000 in order to keep our option to acquire a 100% interest in the Chu Chua property in good standing. Should we fail to incur the exploration expenses, the property vendor is entitled to terminate the option. We may terminate the option agreement at any time without further obligation.


Description of Property


We currently do not have executive offices and use a mail service for our current mailing address at Suite 900, 555 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. The cost is approximately $40 per month and can be cancelled at any time. Mr. Cheston, our President, provides his office space for the storage and maintenance of corporate records free of charge.


We also have an option to purchase a 100% interest in the Chu Chua property.


Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


Except as noted below, none of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:


-   Any of our directors or officers;

-   Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;

-   Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;

-   Any of our promoters;

-   Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house as such person.


Mr. Brian Cheston, our sole officer and a director, has been our promoter since our inception. Mr. Cheston has acquired 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.001 per share. Mr. Cheston paid a total purchase price of $2,000 for these shares. Mr. Cheston purchased these shares on December 18, 2003. Other than the purchase of his stock Mr. Cheston has not entered into any agreement with us in which he is to receive from us or provide to us any thing of value.


Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters


No Public Market for our Common Stock


There is presently no public market for our common stock. We anticipate applying for trading of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.


Holders of Our Common Stock


As of the date of this registration statement, we had 20 registered shareholders.


36



Registration Rights


We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other person.


Dividends


There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:


(1)

we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or


(2)  our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.


We have not declared any dividends. We do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT


Stockholders and Board of Directors

Rapa Mining Inc., (An Exploration Stage Company)

Vancouver, BC Canada


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Rapa Mining Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of January 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from inception (December 11, 2003) to January 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit.


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


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respect, the financial position of Rapa Mining Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) at January 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception (December 11, 2003) to January 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of $26,117 for the period from inception (December 11, 2003) to January 31, 2004, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Rapa Mining Inc.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

January 31, 2004


1.   HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY


The Company was incorporated on December 11, 2003, under the Laws of the State of Nevada and is in the business of exploring 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.


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 exploration and upon future profitable production.


The Company’s fiscal year end is January 31st.


2.   GOING CONCERN


These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America with the on-going assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of common stock.  Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to complete equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future.  Management’s plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are stated in US dollars. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:






44




Rapa Mining Inc.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

January 31, 2004


3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


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 reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Foreign currency translation


Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States currency at exchanges rates prevailing at transactions dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date.  Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are included in income.


Cash and cash equivalents


The Company considers cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.


Mineral properties


Costs of acquisition, exploration, carrying, and retaining unproven properties are expensed as incurred.


Environmental requirements


At the report date, environmental requirements related to mineral claims acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made.


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 period 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.

45




Rapa Mining Inc.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

January 31, 2004


3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Net loss per share


Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during 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.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In April 2003, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”).  SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.


In May 2003, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.


The adoption of these new pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.


4.   MINERAL PROPERTY


Pursuant to an option agreement dated January 5, 2004, the Company has the right to acquire a 100% interest in certain mining claims located in the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada for $10,000 (paid), the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (issued) and incurring exploration and expenditures of $100,000 in various stages by October 2005.  As the claims do not contain any known reserves, the acquisition costs were expensed during the period ended January 31, 2004. The mineral property claims expire February 19, 2005.

5.   COMMON STOCK


On December 18, 2003, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.001 per share under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 for total proceeds of $2,000.


On January 5, 2004, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 in conjunction with the signing of an option agreement for certain mining claims.


On January 16, 2004, the Company issued 3,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 for total proceeds of $36,000.


6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


During the period from inception (December 11, 2003) to January 31, 2004, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for proceeds of $2,000 to an officer and director of the Company.


7.   INCOME TAXES


A reconciliation of income taxes at statutory rates with the reported taxes is as follows:

  
 

January 31, 2004

  

Net loss

$           (26,117)

 


Expected income tax recovery

$               9,141

Unrecognized current benefit of operating losses

               (9,141)

  

Total income taxes

$

-


The Company’s total future income tax asset is as follows:

  
 

January 31, 2004

Tax benefit of net operating loss carryforward

$            9,141

Valuation allowance

   (9,141)

 

$                   -


The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $26,000 available for deduction against future years taxable income. The valuation allowance increased to $9,141 during the period ended January 31, 2004, since the realization of the net operating loss carryforwards are doubtful. It is reasonably possible that the Company's estimate of the valuation allowance will change. The operating loss carryforwards will expire in 2024.

Rapa Mining Inc.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Interim Financial Statements

April 30, 2004

(Unaudited)


1.   HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY


The Company was incorporated on December 11, 2003, under the Laws of the State of Nevada and is in the business of exploring 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.


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 exploration and upon future profitable production.


The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial information contained therein. The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the period ended January 31, 2004. The results of operations for the three-month period ended April 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2005.


2.   GOING CONCERN


These financial statements have been prepared with the on-going assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of common stock.  Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to complete equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future.  Management’s plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements 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 reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Foreign currency translation


Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States currency at exchanges rates prevailing at transactions dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date.  Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are included in income.


Cash and cash equivalents


The Company considers cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.


Mineral properties


Costs of acquisition, exploration, carrying, and retaining unproven properties are expensed as incurred.


Environmental requirements


At the report date, environmental requirements related to mineral claims acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made.


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 period 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.


Net loss per share


Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during 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.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In April 2003, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”).  SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.


In May 2003, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.


The adoption of these new pronouncements did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.


4.   MINERAL PROPERTY


Pursuant to an option agreement dated January 5, 2004, the Company has the right to acquire a 100% interest in certain mining claims located in the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada for $10,000 (paid), the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (issued) and incurring exploration and expenditures of $100,000 in various stages by October 2005.  As the claims do not contain any known reserves, the acquisition costs were expensed during the period ended January 31, 2004. The mineral property claims expire February 19, 2005.


5.   COMMON STOCK


On December 18, 2003, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.001 per share under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 for total proceeds of $2,000.  


On January 5, 2004, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 in conjunction with the signing of an option agreement for certain mining claims.


On January 16, 2004, the Company issued 3,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 for total proceeds of $36,000.


6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


During the period from inception (December 11, 2003) to April 30, 2004, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for proceeds of $2,000 to an officer and director of the Company.

Part II


Information Not Required In The Prospectus


Item 24.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.


Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company’s articles of incorporation that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:


(1)  a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;


(2)  a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);

58



(3)  a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and


(4)  willful misconduct.


Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:


(1)  such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;


(2)  the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;


(3)  such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or


(4)  such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.


Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advanced of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.


Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination  is made  demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such  person acted  in bad faith or in a manner that such person did  not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

Item 26.  Recent Sales Of Unregistered Securities


We completed an offering of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.001 per share to an officer and director on December 18, 2003, for total proceeds of $2,000. We completed this offering pursuant to Regulation S and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The officer and director purchasing common shares pursuant to Rule 903(a) and (b)(3) of Regulation S represented to us that he resided outside of and was not a citizen of the United States. We did not engage in a distribution of this offering in the United States. The purchaser represented his intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. Appropriate legends will be affixed to the stock certificate issued to the purchaser in accordance with Regulation S. The investor was given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No registration rights were granted to any of the purchaser.


Pursuant to a mineral property option agreement dated January 5, 2004, we issued a total of 200,000 shares of our common stock at a deemed price of $0.01 each to Rockcutter Capital Inc., a British Columbia corporation, in consideration of its granting us the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Chu Chua property. The aggregate deemed value of the shares we issued to Rockcutter Capital inc. was $2,000. These securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144. Appropriate legends will be affixed to the stock certificates representing these shares. Management believes that the transaction was exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an Issuer not involving a public offering. Rockcutter Capital Inc. had sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, it was able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in us, had access to the type of information normally provided in a prospectus, and the transaction was non-recurring and privately negotiated. Rockcutter Capital Inc. is a British Columbia corporation that owns the mineral claims pursuant to the British Columbia Mining Tenure Act, and, as a consequence of their knowledge of mineral claims and the resultant business involving mineral rights, is a sophisticated investor in the business of mineral exploration and is capable of evaluating the risks and uncertainties of investing in our business.  


We completed an offering of 3,600,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.01 per share to a total of eighteen purchasers on January 16, 2004. The total proceeds from this offering was $36,000. We completed the offering pursuant to Regulation S and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. All of the persons purchasing common shares pursuant to Rule 903(a) and (b)(3) of Regulation S represented to us that they resided outside of and were not citizens of the United States. We did not engage in a distribution of this offering in the United States. Each purchaser represented his intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. Appropriate legends will be affixed to the stock certificate issued to each purchaser in accordance with Regulation S. Each investor was given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No registration rights were granted to any of the purchasers.

Each purchaser of the securities agreed to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; and agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such securities unless in compliance with the Act;


The securities contain a legend to the effect that transfer is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; and that hedging transactions involving those securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Act; and

Item 28.  Undertakings.


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:


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


(b) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement, or most recent post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and

61



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


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


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


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.


In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
