ATTACHMENT 1 TO
FORM 12b-25
NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2006, the Company had a substantial
increase in general and administrative expenses, and therefore a substantially
greater net loss from operations compared to the fiscal year ended October 31,
2005. Since October 2005, the Company received funding from one private
placement that closed in March 2006, which provided the Company with the
financial resources necessary to increase its operations and drilling projects,
and resulting in an increase in exploration-related expenditures. As a result,
the Company's operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 are
substantially greater than the year ended October 31, 2005. This resulted in a
net loss for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006 of more than three times
greater than the net loss for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005.
