CORPORATE ORGANIZATION

Incorporation

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Braden Technologies, Inc. on February 17, 1999. We have been engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties since our inception.

Share Split

We completed a four-for-one split of our common stock effective March 10, 2004. As a result of this stock-split, our authorized capital increased from 25,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares of common stock. Concurrent with our stock split, the number of our issued and outstanding shares increased from 2,850,000 shares to 11,400,000 shares.

Acquisition of Lincoln Gold

We completed the acquisition of Lincoln Gold Corp., (“Lincoln Gold”) a Nevada corporation effective March 26, 2004. This acquisition was completed by our acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lincoln Gold from the former shareholders of Lincoln Gold. On closing of the acquisition, we issued 24,000,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Lincoln Gold. As a result of this issuance, the number of our issued and outstanding shares increased from 11,400,000 shares to 35,400,000 shares, of which approximately 67.80% was owned by the former shareholders of Lincoln Gold upon the completion of the acquisition.

Merger with Lincoln Gold

Subsequent to our acquisition of Lincoln Gold, we merged with Lincoln Gold in a parent/ subsidiary merger in April 2004 under Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. We completed the change of our name from “Braden Technologies Inc.” to “Lincoln Gold Corporation” as part of this merger process.

INTRODUCTION

We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Nevada. Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to conduct exploration of our mineral properties in the State of Nevada.

We are an exploration stage company. All of our projects are at the exploration stage and there is no assurance that any of our mining claims contain a commercially viable ore body. We plan to undertake further exploration of our properties. We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue full exploration of these claims. We do not have sufficient financing to undertake full exploration of our mineral claims at present and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing.

There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties. Further exploration beyond the scope of our planned exploration activities will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of mining of any of our properties is determined. There is no assurance that further exploration will result in a final evaluation that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties.

MINERAL PROPERTIES AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

We hold interests in five groups of mineral properties in Nevada, as described below:

Name of Property  Location 
Buffalo Valley Property  Humboldt, Lander & Pershing Counties, Nevada 
Hannah Property  Churchill County, Nevada 
JDS Property  Eureka County, Nevada 
Jenny Hill Property  Mineral & NYE Counties, Nevada 
Lincoln Flat Property  Lyon & Douglas Counties, Nevada 

Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration of our mineral properties. Our specific exploration plan for each of our mineral properties, together with information regarding the location and access, history of operations, present condition and geology of each of our properties, is presented in Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB under the heading “Description of Properties.” All of our exploration programs are preliminary in nature in that their completion will not result in a determination that any of our properties contains commercially exploitable quantities of mineralization.

Our exploration programs will be directed by our management and will be supervised by Mr. Jeff Wilson, our vice-president of exploration. We will engage contractors to carry out our exploration programs under Mr. Wilson’s supervision. Contractors that we plan to engage include project geologists, geochemical sampling crews and drilling companies, each according the specific exploration program on each property. Our budgets for our exploration programs are set forth in Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB under the heading “Description of Properties.” We plan to solicit bids from drilling companies

3 of 48


prior to selecting any drilling company to complete a drilling program. We anticipate paying normal industry rates for reverse-circulation drilling.

We plan to complete our exploration programs within the periods specified in Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB under the heading “Description of Properties.” Key factors that could delay completion of our exploration programs beyond the projected timeframes include the following.

(a)     
Poor availability of drill rigs due to high demand in Nevada;
(b)     
Delays caused by permitting and bonding with the US Bureau of Land Management with respect to drilling programs;
(c)     
Our inability to identify a joint venture partner and conclude a joint venture agreement where we anticipate a joint venture will be required due to the high costs of a drilling program;
(d)     
Adverse weather, including heavy snow; and
(e)     
Our inability to obtain sufficient funding.

Key factors that could cause our exploration costs to be greater than anticipated include the following:

(a)     
adverse drilling conditions, including caving ground, lost circulation, the presence of artesian water, stuck drill steel and adverse weather precluding drill site access;
(b)     
increased costs for contract geologists and geochemical sampling crews due to increased in demand in Nevada; and
(c)     
increased drill rig and crew rental costs due to high demand in Nevada.

Our board of directors will make determinations as whether to proceed with the additional exploration of our Nevada mineral properties based on the results of the preliminary exploration that we undertake. In completing these determinations, we will make an assessment as to whether the results of the preliminary exploration are sufficiently positive to enable us to achieve the financing that would be necessary for us to proceed with more advanced exploration.

We may consider entering into joint venture arrangements on several of our mineral properties, as noted in Item 2 – Description of Properties, to provide the required funding to pursue drilling and advanced exploration of our mineral claims. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to the joint venture partner. The assignment of the interest would be conditional upon contribution by the joint venture partner of capital to enable the advanced exploration on the mineral properties to proceed. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner for our mineral claims. Even if we determined to pursue a joint venture partner, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of our mineral claims.

We plan to continue exploration of our mineral claims for so long as the results of the geological exploration that we complete indicate the further exploration of our mineral claims is recommended and we are able to obtain the additional financing necessary to enable us to continue exploration. We plan to renew all of our mineral claims by making the required filings with the Bureau of Land Management by September 1, 2005. All exploration activities on our mineral claims are presently preliminary exploration activities. Advanced exploration activities, including the completion of comprehensive drilling programs, will be necessary before we are able to complete any feasibility studies on any of our mineral properties. If our exploration activities result in an indication that our mineral claims contain potentially commercial exploitable quantities of gold, then we would attempt to complete feasibility studies on our property to assess whether commercial exploitation of the property would be commercially feasible. There is no assurance that commercial exploitation of our mineral claims would be commercially feasible even if our initial exploration programs show evidence of gold mineralization.

If we determine not to proceed with further exploration of any of our mineral claims due to results from geological exploration that indicate that further exploration is not recommended or due to our lack of financing, we will attempt to acquire additional interests in new mineral resource properties. Due to our limited finances, there is no assurance that we would be able to acquire an interest in a new property that

4 of 48


merits further exploration. If we were to acquire an interest in a new property, then our plan would be to conduct resource exploration of the new property. In any event, we anticipate that our acquisition of a new property and any exploration activities that we would undertake will be subject to our achieving additional financing, of which there is no assurance.

PRIOR EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Basin Mineral Claims

We entered into a mineral property option agreement dated February 18, 1999 with Miranda Gold Corp. ("Miranda") to acquire a 50% interest in certain mineral claims situated in the State of Nevada. During fiscal 2003, we agreed to terminate the option agreement with Miranda and entered into negotiations directly with the owner of the Miranda property in order to secure directly an option on several of the claims previously held by the Company as well as acquiring several new claims. We entered into an option agreement dated February 12, 2004 with J. Rice Development Corp. (“Rice Development”) whereby we acquired an option to acquire an undivided 100% right, title and interest in certain mineral claims in Nevada known as the Basin Claims. The option agreement requires that we make option payments to Rice Development over four years totaling $94,200 and drill a minimum of six holes on the property by August 15, 2005.

We have determined not to proceed with the drill program on the Basin Claims, as required to be completed by August 15, 2005, based on our determination to prioritize exploration of our other Nevada mineral properties. Accordingly, we anticipate that our interest in the Basin Claims will lapse effective August 15, 2005. We have not provided further disclosure regarding the Basin Claims as our interest in the Basin Claims is not significant to our business or our plan of operations.

Hercules Prospect

We entered into a joint venture agreement for the Hercules Prospect (the “Hercules Joint Venture Agreement”) dated April 18, 2004 with Miranda U.S.A. Inc. and Miranda Gold Corp. Under the Hercules Joint Venture Agreement, we obtained the exclusive right to acquire a 60% interest in the Hercules Prospect subject to certain cash payments and exploration expenditures to be made as follows:

a)     
Upon signing of the agreement, payment in the amount of $10,000;
b)     
By September 8, 2004 payment in the amount of $14,000 and expenditures in the amount of $75,000, or 3600 feet of reverse circulation drilling;
c)     
By September 8, 2005 payment in the amount of $16,500 and expenditures in the amount of $150,000;
d)     
By September 8, 2006 payment in the amount of $26,500 and expenditures in the amount of $150,000;
e)     
By September 8, 2007 payment in the amount of $39,000; and expenditures in the amount of $200,000 until commencement of commercial production; and
f)     
By September 8, 2008 and every year thereafter $3,000.

We determined to proceed with a drilling program on the Hercules Prospect in the summer of 2004. We completed the drilling of three holes with an aggregate total of 2800 feet drilled. Adverse drilling conditions precluded the drilling of a fourth hole. Prospective portions of each drill hole were sampled and assayed at an ISO 9002 and ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory in Reno, Nevada. We reviewed the results of the drill program in September 2004 and determined that the results did meet warrant further exploration work based on our criteria. As a result, we terminated the joint venture agreement Miranda U.S.A. Inc. and Miranda Gold Corp. in September 2004.

COMPETITION

We are a junior mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the

5 of 48


mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to conduct further exploration of our mineral properties.

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

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

We will be required to obtain work permits from the United States Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for any exploration work that results in a physical disturbance to the land. We will not be required to obtain a work permit for any phase of our proposed mineral exploration programs that does not involve any physical disturbance to the mineral claims, such as data compilation, field work and geochemical surveys. We will be required to obtain work permits for all drilling operations that we plan to conduct on our mineral properties. Prior to commencing drilling operations on any of our properties, we must submit a “Notice of Intent to Operate” to the BLM and post a bond as security for our obligation to complete reclamation activities. We will be required by the Bureau of Land Management to undertake remediation work on any work that results in physical disturbance to the mineral claims, including drilling programs. We estimate that the cost of remediation work for our drilling programs will be approximately $25,000 for each drilling program. The estimated amount of remediation work is included within our budgets for our exploration programs. The actual amount of reclamation cost will vary according to the degree of physical disturbance.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES

We have not spent any amounts on research and development activities since our inception. Our expenditures on our exploration programs are summarized under Item 6 of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

EMPLOYEES

We have two employees, namely Paul Saxton, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and Jeffrey Wilson, our vice-president of exploration. We carry out our exploration programs through contracts with third parties, including geologists, engineers, drilling companies.

SUBSIDIARIES

We do not have any subsidiaries.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.

We maintain our head office located at Suite 306 – 1140 Homer Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6B 2X6.

Our operations office is located at 325 Tahoe Drive, Carson City, Nevada, 89703. Our operations office is located in the home of Mr. Jeff Wilson, our vice-president of exploration.

Our current five groups of mineral properties located in the State of Nevada are described below:

BUFFALO VALLEY PROPERTY

1. Location and Access

The Buffalo Valley property is located in north-central Nevada, approximately 25 miles west of the small town of Battle Mountain, Nevada in Humboldt, Lander, and Pershing Counties. Access is good via US Interstate 80 to the north and numerous dirt and gravel ranch and mine roads. A map showing the location of and access to the Buffalo Valley property is presented below:


7 of 48


2. Ownership Interest

We have acquired a twenty year lease of the two hundred sixty-eight (268) unpatented lode claims that comprise the Buffalo Valley Property. We acquired our lease pursuant to a mining lease agreement dated July 9, 2004 between us and Nevada North Resources (U.S.A.), Inc., the underlying owner of the property (“Nevada North”). We paid to $10,000 to Nevada North upon execution of the lease agreement. We are obligated to make the following advance minimum royalty payments to Nevada North in order to maintain our leasehold interest in the Buffalo Valley Property:

Date of Payment  Amount of Advance Minimum 
Royalty 
July  9,  2005  $20,000 
July  9,  2006  $20,000 
July  9,  2007  $40,000 
July  9,  2008  $40,000 
July  9,  2009  $50,000 
July  9,  2010  $50,000 
July  9,  2011 $60,000 
July  9,  2012  $60,000 
July  9,  2013  $70,000 
July  9,  2014  $70,000 
Each Subsequent Anniversary  $80,000, subject to adjustment for 
inflation increases with the beginning 
index being the index published for April 
2015 

We have committed to a two year option on the claims made up of the initial payment and the first year anniversary payment. Thereafter, Nevada North will be entitled to terminate if we do not make any subsequent payment. We will not be responsible or liable for advance royalty payments due subsequent to termination or expiration of the lease agreement.

In addition, we are obligated to pay to Nevada North a net smelter return (“NSR”) equal to a percentage of “Net Revenue” as defined and calculated under the lease agreement as follows:

Price of Gold  Amount of NSR, as a percentage of Net
Revenue
$375 or less per ounce  3.0%
More than $375 but less than $474 per ounce  4.0%
$474 or more per ounce  5.0%

8 of 48



The initial term of the lease is twenty years from July 9, 2004, subject to our making the required payments to Nevada North. The term of the lease will remain in effect thereafter for so long as mining, processing, construction of mine facilities, development or ore reserves or exploration activities continue on the Buffalo Valley Property or adjacent properties that we own or control.

The lease agreement entitles us to carry out mineral exploration of the Buffalo Valley Property during the term of the lease. We are obligated to pay for all Bureau of Land Management and county maintenance fees required in order to maintain the claims comprising the Buffalo Valley Property during the term of the lease. We do not have any minimum work or exploration requirements under the lease.

We must pay $20,000 in lease payments to Nevada North in July 2005 and $35,866.50 for BLM and County annual claim maintenance fees by September 1, 2005. We are not obligated to complete any exploration expenditures in order to maintain our lease interest in the Buffalo Valley property.

3. History of Operations

The Buffalo Valley Property and adjacent areas have been explored over the past 10 years by Uranerz, Cameco, Nevada North, Homestake, Anglo Gold, and Newcrest. Geophysical work and some drilling were conducted by Uranerz/Cameco and Anglo Gold and perhaps others. Under Homestake’s control, exploration of the property was advanced by assimilating the large data base and defining three shear zone targets along the Buffalo Valley “axial fault.” The targets were never drilled because Barrick bought out Homestake and the property was returned to Nevada North.

The most comprehensive geological report in our possession is an exploration drilling proposal prepared for Homestake which recommended the drilling of 10 exploration holes with attending budget. The drilling program was approved by Homestake’s senior management but the holes were never drilled due to the acquisition of Homestake Mining by Barrick.

We also have obtained several CD disks containing geological and geophysical data, including important information from Anglo Gold. We are in the process of organizing and evaluating this information.

4. Present Condition of the Property and Proposed Exploration Program

The Buffalo Valley Property is in the early stage of exploration and presently contains no known gold or silver resources. There is no plant or equipment on the Buffalo Valley Property. The property consists of barren land with no improvements.

Our plan of exploration for the Buffalo Valley Property is as follows:

Description of Phase of 
Exploration 
Description of Exploration Work Required 
Data Compilation 
Compile available data and confirm past Homestake drill targets. 
Field Work 
Search property for subcrops and sample where warranted. 
Geochemical Survey 
Conduct limited Mercury-Soil-Gas surveys in the selected areas to help confirm existing targets and possibly identify new, blind targets. 

9 of 48



Description of Phase of 
Exploration 
Description of Exploration Work Required 
Joint Venture  Solicit joint venture partners. 
Phase 1 Drilling  Drill the Homestake targets and new targets as warranted; minimum  of ten (10) reverse –circulation exploration holes. 
Data Evaluation  Evaluate results. 

The anticipated timetable and estimated budget for completion for each stage of exploration are as follows:

Stage of Exploration  Anticipated Timetable for
Completion 
Estimated Cost of Completion 
Data Compilation  1st - 2nd Qtr of 2005  $5,000 
Field Work  2nd Qtr of  2005  $12,000 
Geochemical Survey  2nd Qtr of  2005  $13,000 
Form Joint Venture  2nd Qtr of  2005  $5,000 
Phase 1 Drilling  3rd Qtr of 2005  $200,000 
Data Evaluation  4th Qtr of 2005  $5,000 

There is no assurance that we will be able to locate a joint venture partner to fund the contemplated drilling program on the Buffalo Valley property. If we are unable to enter into any joint venture arrangement, then we may determine to proceed with the drilling program if we have sufficient funding.

5. Geology

The Buffalo Valley Property lies within the northern portion of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Gold Trend in the broad, north-northeast-trending Buffalo Valley. Although much of the bedrock in Buffalo Valley is concealed by alluvium, past exploration drilling has revealed favourable stratigraphy for Carlin-type, Cove-type and skarn deposits containing gold and silver mineralization beneath valley fill. Potential host rocks above the Golconda Thrust include the Triassic Star Peak Group (Cove host) and the Carboniferous Havallah Sequence (partial Lone Tree host; Converse host). Host rocks beneath the Golconda Thrust are the Penn-Permian Antler Sequence (Lone Tree & Marigold hosts). District ore controls appear to be north-trending faults, favourable stratigraphy, and +/- 41-39 million year old intrusive rocks. Geophysical interpretations indicate that a swarm of north-trending faults are present within the claims controlled by us. Gossanous alteration and elevated pathfinder elements have been encountered on the property in past drilling.

HANNAH PROPERTY, CHURCHILL COUNTY, NEVADA

1. Location and Access

The Hannah Property is located approximately 55 miles east of Reno, Nevada in the southern portion of the Trinity Range north of Interstate 80 in Churchill County. Access is east from Reno via Interstate 80

10 of 48


and then north on gravel and dirt roads from Hot Springs Flat to the Property. A map showing the location of and access to the Hannah property is presented below:

2. Ownership Interest

The Hannah property is comprised of twenty-three (23) unpatented lode claims covering approximately 460 acres (0.72 sq. miles) in Churchill County, Nevada.

We have an option to acquire a 100% interest in the claims comprising the Hannah project, subject to a net smelter royalty, pursuant an option agreement dated December 24, 2003 between us and Larry and Susan McIntosh of Gardnerville, Nevada, as optionors. We have the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Hannah property by making aggregate payments to the optionors in the amount of $210,000. We may exercise this option at any time prior to the ten year anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, being December 24, 2013. We are obligated to make the following option payments in order to maintain our option agreement in good standing:

Date of Payment  Amount of Option Payment 
December 24, 2003  $5,000 (paid) 

11 of 48



January 10, 2005 $5,000 (paid) 
January 10, 2006 $10,000 
January 10, 2007 $15,000 
January 10, 2008 $25,000 
January 10, 2009 $25,000 
January 10, 2010 $25,000 
January 10, 2011 $25,000 
January 10, 2012 $25,000 
January 10, 2013 $50,000 

We will be deemed to have exercised the option upon completion of the above option payments at which time we will be entitled to a 100% interest in the Hannah property, subject to the payment of a net smelter royalty to the optionors. The net smelter royalty will be calculated as 3% of net smelter returns, as defined in the option agreement, if the price of gold is less than or equal to $400 per ounce, and 4% of net smelter returns if the price of gold is greater than $400 per ounce. If we exercise the option, we will have the right to reduce the net smelter royalty by 1%, up to a maximum of 2%, upon the payment of $500,000 to the optionors for each 1% of reduction as set out in the table below:


Gold Price 
(US$ per ounce) 
Net Smelter Royalty 
payable on
execution of the
Agreement
Net Smelter Royalty 
payable after first 
payment of 
$500,000
Net Smelter Royalty
payable after second
payment of $500,000
Less than or equal to $400  3% 2%  1% 
Greater than $400  4% 3%  2% 

If we complete a positive feasibility study for the development or mining of mineral products on the Hannah property and obtains all government approvals, consents, licenses and permits to construct, develop or operate a mine on the Hannah property prior to January 10, 2013, we will be obligated purchase the Hannah property prior to the commencement of mining of mineral products. In this event, the purchase price for the Hannah property shall be the sum of all unpaid option payments due to the optionors through January 10, 2013.

We have the exclusive right to conduct exploration on the Hannah property during the term of the option agreement, provided that we make the required option payments. We are obligated to make all federal and county claim maintenance fees in a timely manner to keep the claims in good standing during the term of the option agreement. In the event that we do not make any required option payment, then the optionors will be entitled to terminate the agreement and we will lose our interest in the property. However, we will not have any obligation to make further option payments in the event of termination due our inability to make any required option payment. We may surrender our interest in the property and terminate the agreement at our election upon written notice to the optionors. In this event, the optionors will retain all option payments paid pursuant to the agreement.

12 of 48


We will be required pay $3,074.50 for BLM and County annual claim maintenance fees by September 1, 2005. We are not obligated to complete any minimum exploration expenditures or other work commitment in order to maintain our option on the Hannah property.

3. History of Operations

Various old shafts, adits, and numerous small prospects are on the Hannah Property from prospecting in the early 1900’s. Cominco was active in the general area in the 1960’s and Chevron drilled three scattered holes on the claim block in the 1980’s. None of Chevron’s holes tested the Hannah gold target. Four backhoe trenches were dug by Cordex in the late 1990’s, however no follow-up work was conducted. NDT Ventures held the property in 2002 but conducted no significant work. A total of 50 soil samples and 329 rock-chip samples have been collected from the property and assayed.

4. Present Condition of the Property and Current State of Exploration

The Hannah Property is in the early stage of exploration and presently contains no known gold or silver resources. Our current state of exploration consists of geologic mapping and sampling.

There is no plant or equipment on the Hannah Property other than some scattered remnants of past prospecting. The property consists of barren land with no improvements with the exception of dirt roads.

We have no formal geologic reports on the Hannah Property. However, we do have all past soil and rock-chip sample results plus preliminary maps from geologic mapping.

Our plan of exploration for the Hannah Property is as follows:

Description of Phase of 
Exploration 
                             Description of Exploration Work Required

5. Geology

The Hannah Property lies in “exotic” metamorphic terrain comprised of Permo-Triassic schist and granitic intrusive rocks and Tertiary lakebeds and volcanic rocks (no formation names). A highly oxidized, gold-bearing shear zone is evident on the property. Anomalous gold in soils and rock chips is present along the surface expression of the shear zone. Potential exists for an oxidized gold deposit with gold-silver mineralization present at depth. Blind gold potential may exist where the mineralized system is covered by surface gravels. The zone of prospective gold mineralization at Hannah has never been drilled.

3. History of Operations

There have been no previous operations of any type on the property.

4. Present Condition of the Property and Current State of Exploration

No significant exploration has been conducted on the JDS Property. The property is in early stage exploration and presently contains no known gold resources.

There is no plant or equipment on the JDS Property. The property consists of barren land with no improvements.

We have one geologic report on the JDS Property that was written by Kenneth D. Cunningham, Wyoming Professional Geologist PG-1636, and dated February 9, 2004. The report reviews the potential for Carlin-type gold deposits on the JDS Property.

Our plan of exploration for the JDS Property is as follows:

Description of Phase of
Exploration
Description of Exploration Work Required 
Field Work  Search property for subcrops and sample where warranted.
Geophysical Surveys  1) Conduct approximately 46 line miles of magnetometer survey on  300 ft line spacing to help determine bedrock and identify  structures 
2) Conduct gravimeter survey on 1000 ft station centers to better  determine depth to bedrock and structures. 
Geochemical Survey  Conduct a Mercury-Soil-Gas survey to help identify anomalies that  may be associated with Carlin-type gold deposits. 
Joint Venture  Solicit joint venture partners 
Phase 1 Drilling  Drill a minimum of five (5) reverse-circulation exploration holes on best  target(s). 
Data Evaluation  Evaluate results. 

The anticipated timetable and estimated budget for completion if each stage of exploration are as follows:

Stage of Exploration
Completion
Anticipated Timetable for  Estimated Cost of Completion 
Field Work  2nd Qtr of 2005  $7,000 
Geophysical Surveys  3rd Qtr of  2005  $22,000

Anticipated Timetable for  Estimated Cost of Completion 
Phase 1 Drilling  4th Qtr of 2005  $125,000 
Data Evaluation  4th Qtr of 2005  $5,000 

There is no assurance that we will be able to locate a joint venture partner to fund the contemplated drilling program on the JDS property. If we are unable to enter into any joint venture arrangement, then we may determine to proceed with the drilling program if we have sufficient funding.

5. Geology

The JDS Property lies within the Cortez Trend in the southern portion of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Mineral Belt. Although covered by valley fill, the geology of the JDS Property is believed to be an extension of favourable “lower plate” rocks of the Roberts Mountains Thrust that are known to host large Carlin-type gold deposits. Potential Devonian host rocks are exposed in the nearby Simpson Park Mountains and are believed concealed under shallow cover at JDS. Similar Devonian strata host very large gold deposits at Pipeline and Cortez to the northwest of the JDS Property. Available gravity data at JDS suggest shallow depth to bedrock and north-trending faults that converge in the northwestern portion of the claim block. The combination of favourable “lower plate” bedrock and converging faults indicate exploration potential for Carlin-type gold deposit(s).

3. History of Operations

There are abundant old gold workings and prospect pits on the Jenny Hill property and remnants of a small mill in the Black Hills dating back to the 1880’s. Minor gold production also came from the Black Hills by local prospectors in the 1960’s. Comaplex Minerals and NDT Ventures were independently active on the southern portion of the claim block in 2000-2004. To date, 303 soil samples and 377 rock-chip samples have been collected and analyzed yielding conspicuous gold. Comaplex Minerals completed 39.14 line miles of ground magnetometer survey (contractor Zonge Geosciences, Inc.) on the southern portion of the claim block. We acquired our interest in the Jenny Hill Property in September 2004.

4. Present Condition of the Property and Current State of Exploration

The Jenny Hill Property is in the early stage of exploration and presently contains no known gold or silver resources. Our current state of exploration consists of geologic mapping and sampling.

There is no plant or equipment on the Jenny Hill Property other than some scattered remnants of past prospecting and mining activities in the Black Hills. The property consists of barren land with no improvements.

Jenny Hill is an early-stage exploration property. There are no formal geologic reports available at this time. However, we do have copies of all past soil and rock-chip sampling data including maps and results. Most sample analyses were conducted by ALS Chemex. We also have access to the ground magnetometer survey report by Zonge Geosciences, Inc. that was conducted on behalf of Comaplex Minerals.

Our plan of exploration for the Jenny Hill Property is as follows:

5. Geology

The Jenny Hill Property is located along the eastern margin of the northwest-trending Walker Lane Mineral Belt. Bedrock consists of a mass of Jurassic granitic rock resting on a thrust fault, Cretaceous (?) dikes and sills, and sedimentary strata of Triassic Luning Formation. Potential for a Carlin-type gold deposit(s) is present in the altered siltstones of the Luning Formation at the northern end of the claim block. Outcrops yield a Carlin-type geochemical signature with anomalous gold. Potential for gold-bearing skarn exists on the southern portion of the claim block where Cretaceous dikes have cut and altered the Luning Formation adjacent to a large thrust sheet of Cretaceous granitic rock. Anomalous gold is present at the surface in skarn exposures. The northern and southern areas of the property appear linked by a major north-trending fault that may be related to gold mineralization. The property has never been drilled.

3. History of Operations

Turquoise discoveries were made in the area in the early 1900’s followed by the discovery of placer gold in the 1930’s. Many exploration adits, shafts and pits are present on the property from gold prospecting activities. Copper exploration was conducted in the general area by Anaconda, Phelps Dodge and others in the early 1950’s. Glamis Gold conducted limited exploration for gold in 1999 but shortly thereafter terminated all of their “grassroots” exploration programs. Various “junior companies” are presently conducting exploration in the area. To date, 52 soil samples and 178 rock-chip samples have been collected and assayed. No exploration drilling for gold has been conducted on the Property.

4. Present Condition of the Property and Current State of Exploration

The Lincoln Flat Property is in the early stage of exploration and presently contains no known gold or silver resources. Our current state of exploration consists of geologic mapping and sampling.

There is no plant or equipment on the Lincoln Flat Property other than some scattered remnants of past prospecting and/or small-scale production. The property consists of barren land with no improvements with the exception of dirt roads.

Lincoln Flat is an early-stage exploration property. There are no formal geologic reports available at this time. However, we do have copies of all past soil and rock-chip sampling data including maps and results.

5. Geology

The Lincoln Flat Property is dominated by widespread Jurassic granitic rock that is intruded by a series of younger, northeast-trending Jurassic dikes. The complex dike system is concealed on the southern portion of the claim block where it is covered by Jurassic volcanic rocks. To the west, the Jurassic volcanic rocks are overlain by widespread Tertiary tuff. Two (2) gold targets are present on the property. 1) A gold-bearing hematite-breccia is present where the major dike system extends beneath the Jurassic volcanic rocks. Old underground workings produced dump material of the hematite-breccia that contains gold in the multi-gram per ton range. The hematite-breccia crops out at the surface and has never been drilled. Potential exists for open-pit mining and heap-leach processing. 2) A large, fractured-controlled gold system is present in the northeast portion of the claim block in the Jurassic granitic rocks. The zone of prospective mineralization has never been drilled.

Buffalo Valley Property  $ 240,000  $ 35,887  $ 20,000 
Hannah Property  $ 173,000  $ 3,075  $ 10,000 
JDS Property  $ 174,000  $ 12,362  Nil

Lincoln Flat Property  $ 178,000  $ 3,575  $ 10,000 
Total:  $ 1,146,000  $ 70,772  $ 65,000 

In addition to our planned exploration expenditures, we anticipate spending approximately $50,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated

29 of 48


expenditure of $2,482,000 over 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, annual mineral claim fees and general office expenses.

We had cash in the amount of $127,785 and a working capital deficit in the amount of $36,459 as of December 31, 2004. Subsequent to December 31, 2004, we completed a private placement financing for net proceeds of $905,190. Accordingly, we will require a minimum of approximately $1,800,000 to proceed with our plan of operations over the next twelve months. We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue our exploration programs beyond the preliminary exploration programs for our mineral properties that are outlined above.

During the twelve month period following the date of this annual report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. 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 our exploration programs. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our mineral claims. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund our exploration programs, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of our mineral claims following the completion of preliminary exploration. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to pursue drilling and advanced exploration of our mineral claims. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner for our mineral claims. Even if we determined to pursue a joint venture partner, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of our mineral claims. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to the joint venture partner.

Our exploration plans will be continually evaluated and modified as exploration results become available. Modifications to our plans will be based on many factors, including: results of exploration, assessment of data, weather conditions, exploration costs, the price of gold and available capital. Further, the extent of our exploration programs that we undertake will be dependent upon the amount of financing available to us.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We were incorporated as Braden Technologies Inc. Effective March 26, 2004, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lincoln Gold Corp. by issuing 24,000,000 shares of our common stock. We subsequently merged with Lincoln Gold Corp. and changed our name to Lincoln Gold Corporation. Since the acquisition transaction resulted in the former shareholders of Lincoln Gold Corp. owning the majority of our issued and outstanding shares, the transaction, which is referred to as a “reverse take-over”, has been treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by Lincoln Gold Corp. of the net assets and liabilities of Braden Technologies Inc. Under this purchase method of accounting, the results of operations of Braden Technologies Inc. are included in these consolidated financial statements from March 26, 2004. Our date of inception is the date of inception of Lincoln Gold Corp., being September 25, 2003 and our financial statements are presented with reference to the date of inception of Lincoln Gold Corp.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash position at December 31, 2004 was $127,785 compared to $15,405 as of December 31. 2003. We had a working capital deficit of $0.31 as of December 31, 2003 compared to working capital of $36,459 as of December 31, 2004.

March 2005 Private Placement Financing

We completed a private placement financing in March 2005 for net proceeds of $905,190. The private placement financing was comprised of the issue of an aggregate of 3,158,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.30 per Unit to an aggregate of 53 purchasers for total proceeds of $947,400. Each Unit is comprised of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the investor to purchase one additional share of common stock for a two year period at a price of $0.40 per share during the period from the date of issue to the date that is one year from the date of issue and at a price of $0.50 per share during the period from the date that is one year from the date of issue to the date that is two years from the date of issue. By execution of the subscription agreements, we have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 within 120 days of closing in order to register the resale by the investors of the shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

Plan of Operations

We estimate that our total expenditures over the next twelve months will be approximately $2,482,000, as outlined above under the heading “Plan of Operations”. We anticipate that we will require a minimum of approximately $1,800,000 in additional financing to proceed with our plan of operations over the next twelve months. In addition, we anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue our exploration programs beyond the preliminary exploration programs for our mineral properties that are outlined above.

If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our exploration activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us. Specifically, we anticipate that we would defer drilling programs pending our obtaining additional financing. Given our plan to scale back our operations if we do not achieve additional financing, we anticipate that our current cash and working capital will be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations and our interests in our mineral properties for the next twelve months.

Outstanding Convertible Note

We arranged for a $200,000 convertible note during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. This convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.04 per share. If the convertible note was converted, we would be obligated to issue an additional 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. The note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The principal is repayable on January 28, 2006 and interest is payable annually.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

We will require additional financing in order to proceed with the exploration of our mineral properties. We plan to complete private placement sales of our common stock in order to raise the funds necessary to pursue our plan of operations and to fund our working capital deficit. Issuances of additional shares will

31 of 48


result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement financings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Mineral Property Acquisition Payments and Exploration Costs

We are in the exploration stage and we expense all costs related to the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims in which we have secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves. To date, we have not established the commercial feasibility of any of our exploration prospects, therefore, all costs are being expensed.

A PARTNERSHIP OF INCORPORATED PROFESSIONALS AMISANO HANSON
CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders,
Lincoln Gold Corporation
(formerly Braden Technologies Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lincoln Gold Corporation (formerly Braden Technologies Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004, the period September 25, 2003 (Inception) to December 31, 2003 and the period September 25, 2003 (Inception) to December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lincoln Gold Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004, the period September 25, 2003 (Inception) to December 31, 2003 and the period September 25, 2003 (Inception) to December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage and has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LINCOLN GOLD CORPORATION
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2004 and 2003

1.     
NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
 
 
a)     
Organization
 
   
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on February 17, 1999 under the name of Braden Technologies Inc. Effective March 26, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lincoln Gold Corp., a private company incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA, on September 25, 2003. On April 6, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary, Lincoln Gold Corp., merged to form Lincoln Gold Corporation.
 
 
b)     
Exploration Stage Activities
 
   
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage.
 
 
c)     
Going Concern
 
   
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
 
   
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses for the period from inception to December 31, 2004, and has no established source of revenue. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral claims. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
 
2.     
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (cont’d)
 
 
a)     
Mineral Property Acquisition Payments and Exploration Costs
 
   
The Company is in the exploration stage and expenses all costs related to the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims in which it has secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects, therefore, all costs are being expensed.
 
 
b)     
Use of Estimates
 
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.
 
 
c)     
Foreign Currency Translation
 
   
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:
 
   
i)     
monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
   
ii)     
non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;
   
iii)     
revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.
 
 
d)     
Income Taxes
 
   
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 – “Accounting for Income taxes” (SFAS 109). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting, and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
 
e)     
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
 
   
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company has no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation.
 
 
f)     
Financial Instruments
 
   
The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable, approximates their fair values due to their short term maturities. The carrying value of the note payable also approximates fair value. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant currency, interest or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
 
 
g)     
Stock Based Compensation
 
   
The Company has adopted the expense recognition provisions of the fair value method of accounting for employee stock compensation pursuant to FAS 123. Under the fair value expense recognition provisions of FAS 123, compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period based on the fair value of stock based compensation as of the date of grant. In accordance with these provisions, the Company determines the fair value of all new stock based compensation awarded at the grant date and recognize this amount as expense over the vesting period.
 
 
h)     
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
   
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain embedded derivatives, and for hedging activities under Statement 133. Statement 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. Adopting this new standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. The Statement requires that certain financial instruments previously classified as equity in statements of financial position be classified as liabilities. The provisions in Statement 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for public companies. Adopting this new standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
   
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement 151, “Inventory Costs”. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Statement 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal”. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Statement 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted in certain circumstances. Adopting this new standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
   
In December 2004, FASB has also issued SFAS No. 152 and 153 but they will not have any relationship to the operations of the Company, therefore, a description of each and their respective impact on the Company’s operations have not been disclosed.

ACQUISITION OF LINCOLN GOLD CORP.
 
 
Effective March 26, 2004, Braden Technologies Inc. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lincoln Gold Corp. by issuing 24,000,000 common shares. Since the transaction resulted in the former shareholders of Lincoln Gold Corp. owning the majority of the issued shares of Braden Technologies Inc., the transaction, which is referred to as a “reverse acquisition”, has been treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by Lincoln Gold Corp. of the net assets and liabilities of Braden Technologies Inc. Under this purchase method of accounting, the results of operations of Braden Technologies Inc. are included in these consolidated financial statements from March 26, 2004. The comparative figures for the year ended December 31, 2003 are those of Lincoln Gold Corp.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

We dismissed DeMello & Company, Chartered Accountants ("DeMello & Company") as our principal independent accountant effective February 14, 2005. We engaged Amisano Hanson, Chartered Accountants as our principal independent accountant effective February 14, 2005. The decision to change principal independent accountants has been approved by our board of directors.

DeMello & Company's report dated February 23, 2004 on the balance sheets of Braden Technologies Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the statements of loss and deficit accumulated through the exploration stage, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the subsequent interim period through to February 14, 2005, there were no disagreements with DeMello & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of the DeMello & Company would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on our audited financial statements.

We provided DeMello & Company with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested in writing that DeMello & Company furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with such disclosures. We received the requested letter from DeMello & Company wherein they have confirmed their agreement to our disclosures. A copy of DeMello & Company’s letter has been filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2005.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2004, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal year. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Paul Saxton. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During our most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

(a) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;
   
(b) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
   
(c) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

TERMS OF OFFICE

Our directors are elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. Our executive officers are appointed by our board of directors to hold office until their successors are appointed.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

We presently do not have an audit committee of our board of directors due to the fact that we are in the early stage of our operations and have only recently acquired our mineral properties. Our board of directors anticipates appointing an audit committee during the current fiscal year. At present, there is no person on our board of directors who would qualify as an audit committee expert. Accordingly, we anticipate that any audit committee that is appointed by our board of directors will not include an audit committee expert unless a new director who can meet these criteria is appointed to our board of directors.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have presently not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we are in the early stage of our operations and have only recently acquired our mineral properties. We have received a draft code of ethics prepared by our legal counsel for our review and consideration. Our board of directors is currently reviewing this draft code of ethics and anticipates adopting a code of ethics during the current fiscal year.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.
