The sources of this mineralization could be known areas in the vicinity of the mined-out pit which are currently the subject of a resource calculation exercise, or the discovery of a "new" Sleeper-style gold deposit. A resource calculation is due for completion in the fourth quarter of calendar 2005.In addition to the resources themselves, some potential economics of mining and processing will be investigated. No assurance can be given that minerals resources will be defined at the New Sleeper Project or that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. In addition, the Company's management has identified a number of other projects that are attractive to the Company. Management believes that it is prudent to diversify diversify To acquire a variety of assets that do not tend to change in value at the same time. To diversify a securities portfolio is to purchase different types of securities in different companies in unrelated industries. the Company's portfolio, provided strict criteria are met for any new projects. On July 14, 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement pursuant to which it may acquire up to a 70% interest in the Clover clover, any plant of the genus Trifolium, leguminous hay and forage plants of the family Leguminosae (pulse family).

The Company's operations and activities are financed through cash resources generated by equity issues.While the Company believes it has sufficient resources to fund its commitments and current planned activities, through the first quarter of 2006, it is anticipated that the Company will have to raise further capital in early 2006 in order to fund future operation and exploration activities. The availability of such funding is dependent not only on exploration success but on certain factors beyond its control, such as general market liquidity, price of gold, and willingness of investors to make more speculative exploration investments.Management will use its best efforts to obtain funding and utilize this funding on projects it believes justify such investment.
