SUMMARY
The following summary highlights certain information found in more detail
elsewhere in this prospectus. Before you decide to buy our common stock, in
addition to the following summary, you are urged to read the entire prospectus
carefully, especially, the risks of investing in our common stock as discussed
under "Risk Factors."
INVESTNET, INC.
Our Business
InvestNet, Inc. is a corporation formed under the laws of the state of Nevada on
March 16, 2000. Our executive offices are located at 938 Howe Street, Suite 713,
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6Z 1N9 and our telephone number is (604)
331-1803. Our registered statutory office is located at 920 Sierra Vista Drive
in Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.
We have acquired an option to explore, identify and potentially develop a gold,
silver and other precious metals property located in the vicinity of the city of
Greenwood, British Columbia known as the Bow Mines property. The Bow Mines
property and surrounding areas have a history of producing precious metals.
Based upon information available from prior exploration of the area, we believe
that the possibility of identifying and potentially developing precious metal
deposits on the Bow Mines property is feasible. See "Description of Business"
for a more detailed description of our business.
We are an exploration-stage company. We can give you no assurance that a
commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our property. Extensive
exploration of our property will be required before we can make a final
evaluation as to the economic feasibility of developing or producing valuable
mineral deposits from our property.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the possibility that your entire investment may be
lost, as such you are encouraged to evaluate the following risk factors, which
identify some of the potential and substantial risk factors which could be
involved if you decide to purchase the shares in this offering. Also, you should
carefully consider other information contained in this prospectus before
purchasing the shares. Our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Any of
the following risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations and could result in a complete loss of your investment.
4
<PAGE>
1. We Have Incurred Losses Since Our Inception on March 16, 2000 and Expect
Losses to Continue For the Foreseeable Future.
We have incurred a total loss of $2,026 since inception. We are in the very
early stages of development and could fail before ever generating any revenue.
We will probably incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we will incur
significant expenses associated with the exploration of our mineral property. We
cannot provide any assurance to you that we will operate profitably or provide a
return on your investment in the future.
2. We Have a Limited Operating History.
We were incorporated in March, 2000 and have not yet commenced business
operations. We have only recently acquired our principal asset, which is an
option to explore potential mining property. We have only a limited operating
history upon which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made. Our
ability to achieve and maintain profitability is highly dependent upon a number
of factors including:
o The uncertain profitability from potential mining activity on the Bow
Mines property;
o Our ability to locate profitable mineral properties in the future;
o Our ability to generate revenues;
o Our ability to control exploration costs.
We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in realizing revenue
or achieving positive cash flow in the future, and any such failure could cause
us to go out of business, and could cause you to lose all your investment.
3. We Have Not Generated Revenue, and We Will Need Additional Capital to Operate
our Business; If We Do Not Obtain Enough Capital To Operate Our Business, You
Could Lose All of Your Investment
We have not, to date, generated any revenue from operations. We will need
approximately $100,00 over the next twelve months to complete the first phase of
our exploration program and expect to raise that amount through the current
offering. We will need additional capital to fund the second and third phases of
our exploration program. Although we know the cost of the second phase of our
exploration program, the ultimate need for capital beyond that to be raised in
this offering cannot be accurately predicted, as the extent of the third phase
of exploration is based on results obtained in the first and second phases of
exploration.
Since we do not expect to raise sufficient capital to complete the second and
third phases of our exploration program from the expected proceeds of this
offering, we do intend on raising additional funds through a second public
offering, private placement or loans. We have not yet initiated any efforts to
raise this additional funding and cannot provide any assurance that we will be
able to raise additional capital. Should we be unable to raise additional
capital to fund the second and third phases of our exploration program, we might
be forced to suspend or terminate our exploration activities. You, as the
investor, might then lose some or all of your investment.
5
<PAGE>
4. Our President Lacks Experience in Mineral Exploration or Extraction, Which
Increases the Risk Our Operation May Fail, and that You May Lose Your
Investment.
Our president, Mr. Campbell, has had only limited direct experience in the
management or operation of any mineral exploration or extraction business. This
lack of direct experience may make us more vulnerable than others to certain
risks, and it may also cause us to be more vulnerable to business risks
associated with errors in judgment that could have been prevented by more
experienced management. Mr. Campbell's lack of experience in the mineral
exploration and extraction industry could cause us to lose money, and therefore
could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
5. Gold Exploration Is Highly Speculative and Frequently Non-Productive;
Therefore, We Cannot Provide any Assurance That Our Exploration Business Will
Succeed or Yield a Profit.
Mineral exploration and extraction (particularly for gold) is highly
speculative, frequently nonproductive, and involves many risks, including,
without limitation, unforeseen geological formations, cave-ins, environmental
concerns and personal injury. Such risks can be considerable and may add
unexpected expenditures or delays to our plans. We are in the very early
exploration stage and are dependent on the proceeds to be realized from the sale
of shares in this offering for funds necessary to carry out the first phase of
our planned exploration program. We cannot provide any assurance that our
exploration efforts will be successful, that any potential production will be
identified, or that if potential production is identified, that it will be
profitable when produced. Moreover, an extended period of time may be needed to
develop the Bow Mines property.
We do not claim any known ore reserves are on the Bow Mines property.
While we believe that the Bow Mines property could contain minerals, further
exploration and mineral assessments may indicate that our claims are not
sufficiently mineralized and may later be abandoned or determined to be
unfeasible because of such insufficient mineralization.
An additional factor that will have an impact, is our use of the evaluation work
of professional geologists, geophysicists, and engineers for estimates in
determining whether to commence or continue development work. These estimates
generally rely on scientific estimates and economic assumptions, which in some
instances may not be correct, and could result in the expenditure of substantial
amounts of money on a property before it can be determined whether or not the
property contains economically recoverable mineralization. We are not able to
determine at present whether or not, or the extent to which, such risks may
adversely affect our strategy and business plan. There can be no assurance that
our mineral exploration will ultimately be successful or profitable.
6. We Have No Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves; We Cannot Provide Any
Assurance That We Will Find or Profitably Produce Gold.
We have not completed any geological testing that would establish whether proven
or probable mineral reserves exist on the Bow Mines property. Consequently, we
do not yet know whether we can generate revenues or profits from this property.
The economic viability of a mineral property cannot be determined until
extensive exploration has been conducted and a comprehensive feasibility study
performed. Although work by prior companies has indicated that precious minerals
exist on the Bow Mines property, we cannot confirm from that prior exploration
the extent, if any, of existing precious metal deposits. Nevertheless, we
6
<PAGE>
believe that prior work on the property suggests the existence of sufficient
mineralization to warrant continued exploration of the Bow Mines property.
However we cannot provide any assurance to you that proven or probable ore
reserves exist on the Bow Mines property, nor can we provide any assurance that
either we or you will make any money from this property.
7. We Own the Right to Explore Only One Mineral Property.
We currently have rights, and for the foreseeable future will have rights, to
explore and develop only one mineral property. At the present, our success
depends entirely upon our ability to identify and extract minerals from this one
property on a profitable basis. This lack of diversification into other
industries or mineral properties may make the results of our operations more
volatile than they would be if we operated in more than one industry, or owned
or controlled additional mineral properties.
8. Government Regulations Might Increase Our Liability or Delay Our Operations.
InvestNet's exploration operations will be subject to substantial government
regulation, including federal, provincial and local laws concerning mine safety,
land use and environmental protection. We will have to comply with local,
provincial and federal requirements regarding exploration operations, public
safety, employee health and safety, use of explosives, air quality, water
pollution, noxious odor, noise and dust controls, reclamation, solid waste,
hazardous waste and wildlife as well as laws protecting the rights of other
property owners and the public. Although we believe that we will be, or will
attempt to be, in substantial compliance with such regulations regarding our
mineral property, failure to comply could materially increase our liabilities by
way of substantial penalties, fees and expenses. These regulations could also
significantly delay or completely shut down future operations. Also, we will
have to obtain and comply with local, provincial and federal permits, including
waste discharge requirements, other environmental permits, use permits, plans of
operation and other authorizations. Obtaining these permits can be very costly
and take significant amounts of time. Although we do not foresee material
problems or delays, no assurances can be given that we can obtain, either in a
timely manner or at all, the necessary permits to commence exploration
activities.
9. The Market Price for Gold Is Highly Volatile, Which Could Cause Our Business
to Lose Money Even If We Discover or Produce Gold.
Even if we discover or produce gold, the price of gold will materially affect
our financial operations. Following deregulation, the market price for gold has
been highly speculative and volatile. The price of gold reached a short-lived
high in 1980 of slightly over $800 per ounce, but it is currently less than $300
per ounce. Instability in the price of gold will definitely affect the
profitability of our operations. We cannot provide any assurance that gold, even
if we find it, can be produced at a profit given the recent market price range
for gold.
10. There Is No Public Trading Market for Our Stock, So You May Be Unable to
Sell Your Shares, or the Price of Our Stock May Decline After This Offering.
There is no public trading market for InvestNet's common stock, and we cannot
provide any assurance to you that a market will ever develop. If a public
trading market for our stock does not develop, it will be very difficult, if not
impossible, for you to resell your shares in a manner that will allow you to
recover, or realize a gain on, your investment. Even if a public trading market
does develop, the market price could decline below the offering price you pay
for your stock.
7
<PAGE>
11. Our Stock Is a "Penny Stock"; Therefore, Investors May Encounter Increased
Difficulty Re-Selling Our Stock Due To Federal Penny Stock Regulations.
Our stock is a "penny stock." The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted
a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." These rules include, but are not
limited to, Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6 and 15g-7
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our stock is
a "penny stock" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to
InvestNet and its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners
of InvestNet's shares to sell their securities in any market that may develop
for them. There may be a limited market for penny stocks, due to the regulatory
burdens on broker-dealers. The market among dealers may not be active. Investors
in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them
the stock. The mark ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be
greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads,
investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the
same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock
may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any
sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to the Securities and Exchange
Commission Release No. 34- 29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in
recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:
o control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers
that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
o manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and
sales and false and misleading press releases;
o "boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and
unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
o excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling
broker-dealers; and
o the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and
broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level,
along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent
investor losses.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements in this prospectus because
they are inherently uncertain. This prospectus contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as
"anticipates", "believes", "plans", "expects", "future", "intends" and similar
expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. Prospective investors
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which apply only
as of the date of this prospectus. Our actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons,
including the risks faced by InvestNet described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere
in this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The gross proceeds to InvestNet from the sale of the 10,000,000 shares of common
stock offered by InvestNet hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of
$.01 per share are estimated to be $100,000.
8
<PAGE>
InvestNet expects to use the net proceeds, listed in the order of priority, as
follows:
Purpose * 50% Subscription **100% Subscription
------- ------------------ -------------------
Expenses associated with the offering $ 10,000 $ 10,000
Phase 1 of Mineral Property exploration $ 40,000 $ 60,000
Repayment of Shareholder Loan $ 0 $ 30,000
--------- ----------
$ 50,000 $ 100,000
* Assumes sale of 50% of the stock being offered
** Assumes sale of 100% of the stock being offered
Aside from the option agreement with Bow Mines Ltd. and Karl Schindler and a
promissory note entered into with a major shareholder, we are not otherwise a
party to any contracts, letters of intent, commitments or agreements and are not
currently engaged in active negotiations with respect to any acquisitions.
The foregoing represents our present intentions and best estimate with respect
to allocating the proceeds of this offering, based upon present plans and
business conditions. However, certain contingencies may change the way we
allocate these funds, and we reserve the right to reassess and reassign
allocation of these funds if, in our board of directors' judgment, such changes
are advisable. The contingencies which may change our allocation of funds
include: (1) finding potentially profitable gold deposits sooner than expected;
(2) not finding potentially profitable gold deposits or receiving expert
information that potentially profitable gold deposits do not exist on our
property; (3) losing time or money due to government regulation or permit
problems; (4) experiencing a downturn in the market price for gold or a downturn
in the gold mining industry generally; (5) suffering unexpected losses from
mining accidents or labor disturbances; (6) losing our management; (7) entering
into a business opportunity other than our current business plan. Alternative
uses for the funds would vary with the contingency; for example, if we discover
potentially profitable gold deposits sooner than expected, our funds would shift
to learning more about those particular gold deposits, or if we suffer a mining
accident funds would shift to paying for the damage caused by the accident.
We believe that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to satisfy
contemplated cash requirements for at least twelve months following the
consummation of this offering. In the event that our plans change or our
assumptions prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of this offering prove to
be insufficient to fund operations and fully implement our business plan, we
could be required to seek additional financing from sources not currently
anticipated. We have no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or
immediate sources of, additional financing and it is not anticipated that any
existing stockholders or lenders will provide any portion of future financing.
Additionally, no assurances can be given that any additional financing, when
needed, will be available or available on acceptable terms. Any inability to
obtain additional financing when required could have a material adverse effect
on our operations, including requiring us to curtail our exploration efforts.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Prior to this offering, there has been no trading market for the shares offered.
Consequently, the initial public offering price of the shares was, essentially,
arbitrarily determined because we set a price without looking at recognized
criteria of value. The factors we considered in determining the offering price
were
9
<PAGE>
our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the
general condition of the securities market. The offering price is not an
indication of and is not based upon the actual value of InvestNet. It bears no
relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of InvestNet or any other
recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an
indicator of the future market price of the securities.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We will sell a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of InvestNet's common stock to the
public on a "self- underwritten" basis, meaning we will sell shares through our
director, Dr. Stewart Jackson, without an underwriter, and without any selling
agents. The offering will be made on a continuous basis until July 31, 2001,
when this offering will end. There will be no extensions to this offering. This
is not an underwritten offering. We have not committed to keep the registration
statement effective for any set period of time. The gross proceeds will be
$100,000 if all the shares offered are sold. No commissions or other fees will
be paid, directly or indirectly, to any person or firm in connection with
solicitation of sales of the shares. No public market currently exists for
shares of InvestNet's common stock.
There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this offering. Any
money we receive will be immediately appropriated by us for the uses set forth
in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. No funds will be placed in an
escrow account during the offering period, and no money will be returned to you
once we accept your subscription.
We will sell the shares in this offering through Dr. Stewart Jackson, one of our
directors. Dr. Jackson will contact individuals and corporations with whom has
an existing or past pre-existing business or personal relationship and will
offer to sell them our common stock. Dr. Jackson will receive no commission from
the sale of any shares. Dr. Jackson will not register as a broker-dealer
pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon
Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person
associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer's
securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. The conditions are that:
1. The person is not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that
term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his
participation; and,
2. The person is not compensated in connection with his participation by
the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly
or indirectly on transactions in securities; and
3. The person is not at the time of their participation, an associated
person of a broker-dealer; and,
4. The person meets the conditions of Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1
of the Exchange Act, in that he (A) primarily performs, or is intended
primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties
for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with
transactions in securities; and (B) is not a broker or dealer, or an
associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve
months; and (C) does not participate in selling and offering of
securities for any issuer more than once every twelve months other
than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).
10
<PAGE>
Dr. Jackson is not subject to disqualification, is not being compensated, and is
not associated with a broker- dealer. Dr. Jackson is and will continue to be one
of our directors at the end of the offering and has not been during the last
twelve months and is currently not a broker/dealer or associated with a
broker/dealer. Dr. Jackson has not during the last twelve months and will not in
the next twelve months offer or sell securities for another corporation. Dr.
Jackson intends to contact persons with whom he had a past or has a current
personal or business relationship and solicit them to invest in this offering.
Only after our registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, we
intend to advertise, through tombstones, and hold investment meetings in various
states where the offering will be registered. We will not utilize the internet
to advertise our offering. We will also distribute the prospectus to potential
investors at the meetings and to our friends and relatives who are interested in
us and a possible investment in the offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description of our capital stock is a summary of the material
terms of our capital stock. This summary is subject to and qualified in its
entirety by InvestNet's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and by the
applicable provisions of Nevada law.
The authorized capital stock of InvestNet consists of 50,000,000 shares:
45,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.001 per share, of
which 500,000 are issued and outstanding, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock having a par value of $0.001 per share, of which no shares are issued and
outstanding. The preferred stock has only been authorized in the articles of
incorporation; the board of directors has never designated any class or series
of preferred stock, nor has it ever set forth any description or designation of
the rights or preferences of the preferred stock. The articles of incorporation
do not permit cumulative voting for the election of directors, and shareholders
do not have any preemptive or subscription rights to purchase shares in any
future issuance of InvestNet's common stock. There are no options, warrants or
other instruments convertible into shares outstanding.
The holders of shares of common stock of InvestNet do not have cumulative voting
rights in connection with the election of the board of directors, which means
that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting for the
election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so
choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able
to elect any of InvestNet's directors. Each holder of common stock is entitled
to one vote for each share owned of record on all matters voted for by security
holders.
13
<PAGE>
The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to dividends, out of funds
legally available therefor, when and as declared by the board of directors. The
board of directors has never declared a dividend and does not anticipate
declaring a dividend in the future. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of our business, shareholders are entitled to receive,
ratably, the net assets of InvestNet after payment of all creditors.
All of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. To the extent that additional
shares of InvestNet's common stock are issued, the relative interests of
existing shareholders may be diluted.
INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or counsel whose services were used in the preparation of this Form
SB-2/A was hired on a contingent basis or will receive a direct or indirect
interest in InvestNet.

as experts in accounting and auditing.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR
SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
InvestNet's Articles of Incorporation provide that it will indemnify its
officers and directors to the full extent permitted by Nevada state law.
InvestNet's Bylaws provide that it will indemnify and hold harmless each person
who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in
any threatened proceedings by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director or officer of InvestNet or is or was serving at the request of
InvestNet as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of
another entity, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
actually and reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with such proceeding.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for
indemnification is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person, the
registrant 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue, unless
the indemnification claim is for expenses incurred by one of the registrant's
directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
InvestNet was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 16,
2000, and is in its early developmental and promotional stages. InvestNet was
formed for the purpose of engaging in efforts to identify, develop and extract
precious metals. To date, InvestNet's only activities have been organizational,
directed at acquiring its principal asset, raising its initial capital and
developing its business plan. InvestNet's principal asset consists of an option
to explore and if feasible develop a certain tract of land located in the
vicinity of Greenwood, British Columbia, Canada, known as the Bow Mines
property. The Bow Mines property is a gold-silver vein prospect with a regional
history of precious metals recovery. InvestNet has not commenced commercial
operations and has no full time employees.
Option Agreement
On June 16, 2000, InvestNet entered into an option agreement with Bow Mines Ltd.
and Karl Schindler. The option agreement grants to InvestNet the exclusive right
to acquire a 100% interest in the Bow Mines property subject to a net smelter
royalty of 4% in consideration of certain option payments and expenditures to be
satisfied over the next six years. InvestNet satisfied the initial option
payment of $30,000 on June 14, 2000 and must make seven successive option
payments by certain dates in order to maintain the Option and incur a determined
amount of exploration expenses to acquire the Bow Mines property. The successive
option payments and the determined amount of exploration expenses with the

Description of Property
This property is without known reserves, and the proposed program is exploratory
in nature.
The Bow Mines property is located approximately three miles from the city of
Greenwood in southern British Columbia, Canada. The claims can be reached from
Greenwood via paved road by following Highway 3 south for three miles towards
Boundary Falls and then turning northwest onto Boltz Road for one and half mile
journey to the property.
The northern portion of the Bow Mines property is situated on a sparsely
covered, moderately steep, east facing slope overlooking Boundary Creek. The
main mine workings are located just south of a prominent diorite cliff with over
1,000 feet of vertical relief. South of the mine area, the topography is
subdued, with undulating grassy hills sloping east into the Boundary Creek
valley. Elevations range from about 2,000 feet in the Boundary Creek valley in
the south east portion of the property and to about 3,500 feet at the top of the
diorite cliffs to the northwest. Rock exposure is good in the northern part of
the Bow Mines property while a thick layer of cover subdues much of the southern
portion of the property with only minimal outcrop exposed. The climate is
typically dry, with hot summers and little rainfall. Snowfall is light,
generally less than three feet a year, being usually snow free from March until
mid November each year.

Property Title
The Bow Mines property consists of 13 claims over 961 acres. The claims are held
as 3 mineral leases (comprising 6 former crown grants), one 4-post mineral
claim, two reverted crown grants and four 2-post mineral claims.
A mineral lease is a single claim or a group of claims that are next to one
another. The process of turning a claim into a lease requires a survey of the
perimeter of the claim or claims and advertising an intention to begin mining on
the property. Mineral leases are usually for a 30 year term and are renewable at
the end of any 30 year term.
Crown grants are created when a claim is staked and work undertaken to explore
for minerals. After work has been undertaken over a given period of time, the
provincial government of British Columbia will grant title to the property to
the party responsible for the work. Taxes are then paid on the property by the
new owner. Once a new owner stops paying taxes on the crown grant, then title to
the property reverts to the government. The claims are then considered reverted
crown grants. Reverted crown grants are then placed by the government up for
auction.
2-post claims are claims that can be oriented in any direction and are
approximately 62 acres in size. Four post claims can be made in multiples of
approximately 62 acres up to approximately 1,235 acres. However, a 4-post claim
must maintain a rectangular shape.
The claims are registered with the British Columbia Ministry of Mines in the
name of Karl Schindler. Bow Mines Limited is currently the beneficial owner of
the claims held by Mr. Schindler. Should InvestNet satisfy the terms of the
option agreement, we would become the 100% owner of the Bow Mines property. The
claims under option are detailed below:

Bow Mines Property History
The majority of the previous work done by other exploration and development
companies on the Bow Mines property has been directed at two parallel southeast
striking gold-silver vein systems, the Upper and Lower Skomac veins. Total
production from the Bow Mines property from discovery to present is reported by
prior operating companies at 3,931 tons averaging 0.15oz/t gold, 6.9oz/t silver,
1.6% lead and 1% zinc1.
The Skomac veins, which are hosted in a thinly bedded carbonaceous argillite,
are emplaced along shear zones on close spaced en-echelon fractures, striking
about 310-320 degrees, and dipping from 40-60 degrees to the northeast. The
shear zones average about 10 to 13 feet in width, within which white quartz
veins occur. The veins varying from 18 inches to 10 feet in width, with an
average width of about 3 feet. Mineralization in the veins consists of wisps and
lenses of pyrite and galena, with associated gold and silver mineralization.
Lesser sphalerite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and native silver also occur.
A considerable amount of underground exploration and development work was done
on the Upper Skomac vein by other exploration companies in the 1970's and
1980's. The Upper vein is exposed underground over a strike length of about 700
feet with an average dip of approximately 50 degrees northeast. Four known ore
shoots occur within the exposed strike length. The shoots range from 50 to 115
feet in strike lengths and consist of thickened mineralized quartz lenses that
may reach widths of 20 feet. Drilling has also shown the presence of a
mineralized quartz vein of good grade and width, situated below Level 6, which
when projected to Level 7 appears to lie about 100 feet north of the Level 7
drift.
InvestNet has little information regarding the Lower Skomac Vein as there has
been no modern exploration of this prospect. The historic records, namely a
Minister of Mines Annual Report from 1904, document a small 38-ton shipment of
ore that graded 9.3oz/t gold from these workings and samples analyzed from this
area in the 1970's indicated grades of 1oz/t gold for the first 30 feet of the
Lower Skomac tunnel1.
Two additional veins are known to occur in the southern portion of the Bow Mines
property (Boundary Falls area veins), although very little exploration of these
veins or the surrounding area has been done. Gold grades and gold/silver ratios
are generally higher in samples from the Boundary Falls area veins than in those
from the Skomac veins (0.42oz/t gold and 0.93oz/t silver)1.
A significant gold soil anomaly was discovered about 1,500 feet southeast of the
Lower Skomac vein. The anomaly is poorly defined by the very coarse sample
spacing but appears to be in a northeast trend, exceeding 650 feet in strike
length with a maximum value of 0.230 parts per million gold. No follow up was
ever done in this area. Several other geochemical and geophysical anomalies
exist on the Bow Mines property that will require exploration1.

Exploration Program
InvestNet intends to embark on a three phase exploration program in an attempt
to determine the economic feasibility of developing the Bow Mines property for
the extraction of precious metals. We must explore the Bow Mines property to
determine the presence of minerals, if any, that exist on our property. Should
our exploration efforts determine the presence of precious metals, we must then
determine whether these metals exist in sufficient quantity to economically
justify future extraction and processing. We make no claim at this time that any
precious metals exist on the Bow Mines property although our exploration program
does include new work on an existing mine and previous workings on the property.
The first phase of our program will consist of surface exploration, which will
include geological mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysics. The second
phase will consist of conducting a multi-element soil sample survey and
underground exploration of the Upper Skomac vein. The Upper Skomac vein is
located in an already existing mine on the Bow Mines property. The third phase
of the exploration program will be determined by the results of phases 1 and 2
of the program. Based on the assumption that the initial phases indicate that we
should continue our exploration activities, we expect that the third phase of
our program will include further target area definition, plus drill and trench
follow up to targets identified during the first and second phases.
Phase 1
Surface Exploration (Total Budget $60,000)
Stake Additional Claim
Stake two 2-post claims to cover a possible fraction between the A No. 3 claim,
A No. 4 claim and the Mac May claim. A fraction is a piece of open unclaimed
ground between 2 or more mineral claims. The procedure to eliminate a fraction
is simply to stake a claim over the open ground. The mechanics of staking the
claim will require a geologist to visit the property, stake the open ground and
file the necessary documentation with the Ministry of Mines.
Grid Map
We intend to establish a detailed flag and picket grid over the entire property.
A base line will be run south of the mine and mill site located on the property.
Lines oriented at 45 degrees will then be run off the base line at 160 feet
spaced intervals with stations established along the lines approximately every
60 feet. We will require approximately 50 line miles of grid to cover the
claims. We do expect to encounter difficulty in laying some of the grid lines
due to the steep terrain in the area north and west of the mine workings.
Geological Mapping and Rock Chip Sampling
We will then initiate geological mapping and rock chip sampling over the entire
property that will include the collection of at least 75 rock chip samples.
Ground Magnetometer and VLF-EM Survey
Once the ground work is completed we will complete a ground magnetometer and
VLF-EM survey over the entire grid. The ground magnetometer survey is designed
to measure the local variations in the earth's magnetic field since different
rocks have different degrees of magnetism. A VLF-EM survey is designed to
20
<PAGE>
measure the conductivity of rocks by measuring the distribution of radio waves
applied to the rocks. Different styles of mineralization have different
conductivities. The strength of the conductivity gives the geologist a clue as
to what kind of mineralization exists in any particular area. A VLF-EM survey
will also give us a measure of what direction the mineralized body takes, the
length of the body and any offsets due to faults within the mineralization.
Re-Examination and Re-Sampling
We intend to re-examine and re-sample areas on the property that have in the
past shown the potential for mineralization as detailed in the Bow Mines
Property Summary Report prepared for us by Linda Caron P.Eng., including the
mineralized footwall in the Lower Skomac vein. The Lower Skomac vein is located
in an already existing mine on the Bow Mines property. We also intend to
re-examine and re-sample available drill core and underground exposures to test
for other areas of potentially mineralized wall rock associated with the Lower
Skomac vein.
We expect the surface exploration activities in the first phase of our
exploration program to take from 4 to 5 months. Due to conditions related to
snow cover on the property between November and March we expect to commence the
first phase of our program towards the end of March 2001 for completion by the
end of September 2001. We anticipate hiring a geologist, two geological
assistants and a geophysical technician working with a geophysical consultant to
perform and interpret the ground magnetometer and VLF-EM survey.
Phase 2
The second phase of our exploration program will consist of surface exploration,
specifically soil sampling of certain portions of the grid, as identified by the
mapping program and underground exploration of the Upper Skomac vein.
Surface Exploration (Budget $60,000)
Multi-Element Soil Sample Survey
We will undertake a multi-element soil sample over the entire grid, except in
those areas of very thick cover or on large rock outcrops with no soil cover, as
defined by the mapping program. We expect to recover approximately 2,000 soil
samples that will be submitted for analysis to determine the concentration, if
any, of precious metals.
We expect the surface exploration activities in the second phase of our
exploration program to take from 3 to 4 months. Due to conditions related to
snow cover on the property between November and March we expect to commence the
second phase of our program towards the end of March 2002 for completion by the
end of July 2002. We anticipate hiring a geologist and two geological assistants
to conduct the survey.
Underground Exploration (Budget $300,000)
The second phase of our exploration plan also requires that we explore
underground the Upper Skomac vein to determine whether gold-silver veins already
identified by prior work on the property as detailed in the Bow Mines Property
Summary Report prepared for us by Linda Caron P.Eng., can be extended to reveal
economically feasible deposits of precious metals. We expect to begin this phase
of our exploration program in March of 2002 at the same time as conducting the
second phase of our surface exploration.
21
<PAGE>
The proposed program involves a total of 420 feet of "drifting" and 260 feet of
"raising" with accompanying detailed mapping and sampling of the vein and wall
rock of the Upper Skomac Vein on Level 7. "Drifting" is the process of
constructing a horizontal tunnel to take samples of ore for testing. "Raising"
is a similar process except that the tunnel is a vertical shaft. The northern
branch of the Level 7 drift would be extended for 160 feet to intersect the
projected mineralized vein. A raise would then be driven on the vein for 260
feet to break through to Level 6. Drifting along the vein on Level 7 would also
be extended for 260 feet further to the west.
We expect the underground exploration activities in the second phase of our
exploration program to take from 4 to 5 months, with completion slated for
September 2002. We anticipate hiring a project manager, a geologist, a mine
mechanic, an office manager, two shift bosses, two miners and two mine helpers.
Phase 3 (Estimated Budget of $200,000)
The third phase of our exploration program will be implemented to follow up on
targets defined by phases 1 and 2. Phase 3 will be contingent on the results of
phases 1 and 2. Phase 3 is expected to include follow up geophysics, possibly SP
or Pulse EM surveys, plus surface diamond drilling and trenching of veins or
other targets. Trenching is a method of identifying the continuity and extent of
any identified mineralization. We do not expect to begin the third phase of our
exploration program until March of 2003.
Market
Precious metals have two main categories of use, product fabrication and bullion
investment. Fabricated precious metals have a wide variety of end uses,
including industrial and technology uses. Purchasers of official coins and
high-karat jewelry, frequently are motivated by investment considerations, so
that net private bullion purchases alone do not necessarily represent the total
investment activity in precious metals.
The potential profitability of InvestNet's prospective business is significantly
affected by changes in the market price of precious metals. The market prices of
precious metals can fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond
InvestNet's control, including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with
respect to the rate of inflation, the strength of the U.S. dollar and other
currencies, interest rates, central bank sales, forward sales by producers,
global or regional political or economic events, and production and cost levels
in major mineral producing regions. Further, the prices of precious metals
sometimes are subject to rapid short term changes because of the speculative
activities. The current demand for and supply of precious metals affect precious
metals prices, but not necessarily in the same manner as current supply and
demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of precious metals
consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion
and fabricated precious metals held by governments, public and private
individuals. As the amounts produced in any single year constitute a very small
portion of the total potential supply of precious metals, normal variations in
current production do not necessarily have a significant impact on the supply of
precious metals or on their prices. The result being that markets for precious
metals generally are characterized by volatile prices.
Competition
The mining industry is fragmented and very competitive. A high degree of
competition exists to obtain favorable mining properties and suitable mining
prospects for drilling, exploration and mining operations. InvestNet will
encounter significant competition from companies presently engaged in the mining
industry. Generally, all of these competitive companies are substantially larger
than InvestNet and have substantially greater resources and operating histories.
22
<PAGE>
For example, major gold mining competitors include publicly traded companies
such as Barrick Gold Corporation (current market capitalization of approximately
$5 billion) and Newmont Mining (current market capitalization of approximately
$2 billion), as well as Anglogold Ltd., Placer Dome, Freeport-McMoran, Gold
Fields Ltd., Homestake Mining, Pioneer Group, and Stillwater Mining, all of
which have public market capitalizations of approximately $1 billion or more.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that InvestNet will be successful in
competing with existing and emerging companies in the mining industry.
Our competitive position in this market is that of a new, extremely small
newcomer. Our plan to compete in this industry is based on our exclusive option
to explore and remove gold from our property, which prevents our competitors
from exploring or removing gold from it. Readily available gold markets exist in
Canada and around the world where we will be able to sell any gold we recover.
Government Regulation and Environmental Concerns
InvestNet's exploration operations will be subject to substantial government
regulation, including federal, provincial and local laws concerning mine safety,
land use and environmental protection. Please see our "Risk Factors" section for
information in addition to that provided in this section.
The Canadian Mineral Tenure Act sets forth rules for locating claims, posting
claims, working claims and reporting upon work performed. InvestNet is also
subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration Code that determines how and
where companies involved in mining activities can explore for precious metals.
Environmental concerns are protected under the Health, Safety and Reclamation
Code for Mines in British Columbia. The most significant provisions of this Code
deal with employee health and safety, mineral land reclamation, preservation of
archaeological sites, access to exploration areas and waste discharge from
mines, mills and further processing operations.
InvestNet generally will be required to mitigate long term environmental impacts
by stabilizing, contouring, reshaping and revegetating various portions of a
site once exploration, mining and processing are completed. Reclamation efforts
will be conducted in accordance with detailed plans that will have been reviewed
and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies. InvestNet plans to reclaim
land concurrently with mining. InvestNet believes that reclamation expenses will
not be material, although there can be no certainty in this regard. Compliance
with the foregoing laws and regulations increases the costs of planning,
designing, drilling, developing, constructing, operating and closing mining
operations. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with compliance
with such laws and regulations could become such that InvestNet would not
proceed with the development of a project or decide to operate a mine.
Although InvestNet believes that its prospective exploration activities will be
conducted in compliance with all present health, safety and environmental rules
and regulations, there is always some uncertainty associated with such due to
the complexity and application of such rules and regulations. InvestNet does not
anticipate that compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations will
have a material impact on its prospective earnings in the foreseeable future,
however possible future health, safety and environmental legislation,
regulations and actions could cause additional expense, capital expenditures,
restrictions and delays in InvestNet's activities to an extent that cannot be
predicted.

Employees
InvestNet is a development stage company and currently has no employees.
InvestNet is currently managed by Ruairidh Campbell, its sole officer and a
director. InvestNet looks to Mr. Campbell for his entrepreneurial skills and
talents. Management plans to use consultants, attorneys and accountants as
necessary and does not plan to engage any full-time employees in the near
future. InvestNet will hire field geologists to implement the initial
exploration on a consulting basis. When the decision is made to hire full time
employees, a portion of any employee compensation likely would include the right
to acquire stock in InvestNet, which would dilute the ownership interest of
holders of existing shares of its common stock.
Available Information and Reports to Securities Holders
We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration
statement on Form SB-2/A with respect to the common stock offered by this
prospectus. This prospectus, which constitutes a part of the registration
statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration
statement or the exhibits and schedules which are part of the registration
statement. For further information with respect to InvestNet and its common
stock, see the registration statement and the exhibits and schedules thereto.
InvestNet, Inc. intends to become a reporting company and will file all reports

Board of Directors Committees
The board of directors has not yet established an audit committee or a
compensation committee. An audit committee typically reviews, acts on and
reports to the board of directors with respect to various auditing and
accounting matters, including the recommendations and performance of independent
auditors, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent
auditors, and internal accounting and financial control policies and procedures.
Certain stock exchanges currently require companies to adopt formal written
charter that establishes an audit committee that specifies the scope of an audit
committees responsibilities and the means by which it carries out those
responsibilities. In order to be listed on any of these exchanges, we will be
required to establish an audit committee.
24
<PAGE>
The board of directors have not yet established a compensation committee.
Directors currently are not reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs incurred in
attending meetings and no director receives any compensation for services
rendered as a director. It is likely that we will adopt a provision for
compensating directors in the future.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We have an option to explore and, if feasible, develop a certain tract of land
located in the vicinity of Greenwood, British Columbia, Canada, known as the Bow
Mines property. The Bow Mines property is a gold-silver vein prospect consisting
of 3 mining leases, two reverted crown grants, four 2-post mineral claims and
one 4-post mineral claim. The claims are registered in the name of Karl
Schindler and held by him for for Bow Mines Ltd., the beneficial owner.
We currently maintain limited office space in an office owned by a principal
shareholder, Wolf Fiedler and occupied by Ruairidh Campbell, for which we have
no lease and are obligated to pay no rent. This address is 938 Howe Street,
Suite 713, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada VZ2 1N9 and the phone number is
(604) 331-1803. We do not believe that we will need to obtain additional office
space at any time in the foreseeable future until our business plan is
implemented.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and
accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in
this prospectus. Also, due to our limited operating history, the financial
information presented is for the period March 16, 2000 (date of inception) to
June 30, 2000. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, the accuracy of which
involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as "anticipates," "believes,"
"plans," "expects," "future," "intends" and similar expressions are used to
identify forward-looking statements. This prospectus also contains
forward-looking statements attributed to certain third parties relating to the
prospect of exploring and developing an economically feasible ore body on the
Bow Mines property. Prospective investors should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this
prospectus. InvestNet's actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the
risks faced by InvestNet described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this
prospectus. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with InvestNet's Financial Statements and Notes thereto and other financial
information included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Results of Operations
During the period from March 16, 2000 (date of inception) through June 30, 2000,
InvestNet has engaged in no significant operations other than organizational
activities, the execution of an option agreement for the purpose of exploring
and potentially developing the Bow Mines property and preparation for
registration of its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We
did not receive revenue during this period.
25
<PAGE>
For the current fiscal year, we anticipate incurring a loss as a result of
organizational expenses, expenses associated with registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, and expenses associated with setting up a company
structure to begin implementing its business plan. We anticipate that until
these procedures are completed, we will not generate revenues, and may continue
to operate at a loss thereafter, depending upon the performance of the business.
Our business plan is to explore the Bow Mines property for the purpose of
identifying economically recoverable deposits of precious metals that will cause
the development of the site for mining activities.
Profits
For the period ending June 30, 2000, we recorded an operating loss of $2,046.
This lack of profitability is largely attributable to expenses of $2,046
associated with a start up venture. We did not generate any revenues during this
period. We expect to continue to operate at a loss through fiscal 2000. Further,
there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitability or that a
stream of revenue can be generated and sustained in the future.
Capital Expenditures
We expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the period ending June 30,
2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2000, we had current assets of $2,954 and total assets of $32,954.
These assets consist of cash on hand of $2,954 and $30,000 for an option
agreement. Net stockholders' equity in InvestNet was $2,954 at June 30, 2000. We
remain in the development stage and, since inception, have experienced no
significant change in liquidity, capital resources or shareholders' equity.
Cash flow provided from the issuance of common stock was $5,000 for the period
ending June 30, 2000. On June 12, 2000, a total of 500,000 shares of common
stock were issued for cash. The shares were issued at $0.01, and we received
$5,000 as a result of the issuance. Organizational expenses of $2,046 were
funded by these shareholder payments and expensed to operations. In addition, in
June 2000 we received a loan from a major shareholder of $30,000. This amount is
unsecured, non-interest bearing and is due on June 15, 2001. This amount was
used to acquire the option rights in the Bow Mine property.
InvestNet is conducting this offering, in part, because it believes that an
early registration of its equity securities will minimize some of the
impediments to capital formation that otherwise exist. By having a registration
statement in place, InvestNet believes it will be in a better position, either
to conduct a future public offering of its securities or to undertake a private
placement with registration rights, than if it were a completely private
company. Registering its shares will help minimize the liquidity discounts
InvestNet may otherwise have to take in a future private placement of its equity
securities, because investors will have a high degree of confidence that the
Rule 144(c)(1) public information requirement will be satisfied, and a public
market will exist to effect Rule 144(g) broker transactions. InvestNet believes
that the cost of registering its securities, and undertaking the affirmative
disclosure obligations that such a registration entails, will be more than
offset by avoiding deep liquidity discounts in future sales of securities.
26
<PAGE>
We believe that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to satisfy
contemplated cash requirements for at least twelve months following the
consummation of this offering. In the event that our plans change or our
assumptions prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of this offering prove to
be insufficient to fund operations and fully implement our business plan, we
could be required to seek additional financing from sources not currently
anticipated. We have no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or
immediate sources of, additional financing and it is not anticipated that any
existing stockholders or lenders will provide any portion of future financing.
Additionally, no assurances can be given that any additional financing, when
needed, will be available or available on acceptable terms. Any inability to
obtain additional financing when required could have a material adverse effect
on our operations, including requiring us to curtail our exploration efforts.
Operational Milestones
We intend to embark on a three phase exploration program in an attempt to
determine the economic feasibility of developing the Bow Mines property for the
extraction of precious metals. We must explore the Bow Mines property to
determine the presence of minerals, if any, that exist on our property. Should
our exploration efforts determine the presence of precious metals, we must then
determine whether these metals exist in sufficient quantity to economically
justify future extraction and processing.
We make no claim at this time that any precious metals exist on the Bow Mines
property, although our exploration program does include new work on an existing
mine and previous workings on the property.
We do not expect to receive revenues within our first 12 months of operation or
ever, should we fail to identify precious metals in an amount economically
feasible to extract. However, should we discover precious metals that could be
favorably extracted under economically attractive terms, we would still not
expect revenues until after the completion of our three phase exploration plan.
We believe that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to satisfy our
contemplated cash requirements for the next 12 months, which will enable the
completion of the first phase of our exploration program only. We will need to
raise additional capital either through another offering, private placements or
additional loans from officers or directors to ensure the completion of our
three phase exploration program. However, no assurance can be given that
additional capital can be raised to complete the second and third phases of our
program.
We intend to implement our exploration program as follows:
Phase 1
Surface Exploration (Total Budget $60,000)
1. Stake Additional Claim
Stake two 2-post claims to cover a possible fraction between the A No. 3
claim, A No. 4 claim and the Mac May claim. A fraction is a piece of open
unclaimed ground between 2 or more mineral claims. The procedure to
eliminate a fraction is simply to stake a claim over the open ground. The
mechanics of staking the claim will require a geologist to visit the
property, stake the open ground and file the necessary documentation with
the Ministry of Mines.
27
<PAGE>
2. Grid Map
We intend to establish a detailed flag and picket grid over the entire
property. A base line will be run south of the mine and mill site located
on the property. Lines oriented at 45 degrees will then be run off the base
line at 160 feet spaced intervals with stations established along the lines
approximately every 60 feet. We will require approximately 50 line miles of
grid to cover the claims. We do expect to encounter difficulty in laying
some of the grid lines due to the steep terrain in the area north and west
of the mine workings.
3. Geological Mapping and Rock Chip Sampling
We will then initiate geological mapping and rock chip sampling over the
entire property that will include the collection of at least 75 rock chip
samples.
4. Ground Magnetometer and VLF-EM Survey
Once the ground work is completed we will complete a ground magnetometer
and VLF-EM survey over the entire grid. The ground magnetometer survey is
designed to measure the local variations in the earth's magnetic field
since different rocks have different degrees of magnetism. A VLF-EM survey
is designed to measure the conductivity of rocks by measuring the
distribution of radio waves applied to the rocks. Different styles of
mineralization have different conductivities. The strength of the
conductivity gives the geologist a clue as to what kind of mineralization
exists in any particular area. A VLF-EM survey will also give us a measure
of what direction the mineralized body takes, the length of the body and
any offsets due to faults within the mineralization.
5. Re-Examination and Re-Sampling
We intend to re-examine and re-sample areas on the property that have in
the past shown the potential for mineralization as detailed in the Bow
Mines Property Summary Report prepared for us by Linda Caron P.Eng.,
including the mineralized footwall in the Lower Skomac vein. The Lower
Skomac vein is located in an already existing mine on the Bow Mines
property. We also intend to re-examine and re-sample available drill core
and underground exposures to test for other areas of potentially
mineralized wall rock associated with the Lower Skomac vein.
We expect the surface exploration activities in the first phase of our
exploration program to take from 4 to 5 months. Due to conditions related
to snow cover on the property between November and March we expect to
commence the first phase of our program towards the end of March 2001 for
completion by the end of September 2001. We anticipate hiring a geologist,
two geological assistants and a geophysical technician working with a
geophysical consultant to perform and interpret the ground magnetometer and
VLF-EM survey.
Phase 2
The second phase of our exploration program will consist of surface exploration,
specifically soil sampling of certain portions of the grid, as identified by the
mapping program and underground exploration of the Upper Skomac vein.
28
<PAGE>
Surface Exploration (Budget $60,000)
Multi-Element Soil Sample Survey
We will undertake a multi-element soil sample over the entire grid, except in
those areas of very thick cover or on large rock outcrops with no soil cover, as
defined by the mapping program. We expect to recover approximately 2,000 soil
samples that will be submitted for analysis to determine the concentration, if
any, of precious metals.
We expect the surface exploration activities in the second phase of our
exploration program to take from 3 to 4 months. Due to conditions related to
snow cover on the property between November and March we expect to commence the
second phase of our program towards the end of March 2002 for completion by the
end of July 2002. We anticipate hiring a geologist and two geological assistants
to conduct the survey.
Underground Exploration (Budget $300,000)
The second phase of our exploration plan also requires that we explore
underground the Upper Skomac vein to determine whether gold-silver veins already
identified by prior work on the property as detailed in the Bow Mines Property
Summary Report prepared for us by Linda Caron, P.Eng., can be extended to reveal
economically feasible deposits of precious metals. We expect to begin this phase
of our exploration program in March of 2002 at the same time as conducting the
second phase of our surface exploration.
The proposed program involves a total of 420 feet of "drifting" and 260 feet of
"raising" with accompanying detailed mapping and sampling of the vein and wall
rock of the Upper Skomac Vein on Level 7. "Drifting" is the process of
constructing a horizontal tunnel to take samples of ore for testing. "Raising"
is a similar process except that the tunnel is a vertical shaft. The northern
branch of the Level 7 drift would be extended for 160 feet to intersect the
projected mineralized vein. A raise would then be driven on the vein for 260
feet to break through to Level 6. Drifting along the vein on Level 7 would also
be extended for 260 feet further to the west.
We expect the underground exploration activities in the second phase of our
exploration program to take from 4 to 5 months, with completion slated for
September 2002. We anticipate hiring a project manager, a geologist, a mine
mechanic, an office manager, two shift bosses, two miners and two mine helpers.
Phase 3 (Estimated Budget of $200,000)
The third phase of our exploration program will be implemented to follow up on
targets defined by phase 1 and phase 2. Phase 3 will be contingent on the
results of phase 1 and phase 2. Phase 3 is expected to include follow up
geophysics, possibly SP or Pulse EM surveys, plus surface diamond drilling and
trenching of veins or other targets. Trenching is a method of identifying the
continuity and extent of any identified mineralization. We do not expect to
begin the third phase of our exploration program until March of 2003.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Other than as disclosed below, no director, executive officer, nominee for
election as a director of InvestNet, or an owner of five percent of more of
InvestNet's outstanding shares, or any member of their immediate family, has
entered into any related transaction.
InvestNet's promoters, meaning the people who originally organized the company,
are Wolf Fiedler and Ruairidh Campbell. The only things of value Mr. Fiedler and
Mr. Campbell have received from InvestNet have been the following: (1) their
250,000 shares of common stock, each, for which they each paid $2,500 cash,
representing a purchase price of $0.01 per share, the same price at which the
stock is currently issued to the public, and (2) a promissory note to Wolf
Fiedler in the amount of $30,000, for which Mr. Fiedler loaned $30,000 to
InvestNet. These transactions are further detailed in the following paragraphs.
On March 16, 2000, InvestNet issued 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 for
a total of $5,000. 250,000 shares were issued to Wolf Fiedler and 250,000 shares
were issued to Ruairidh Campbell, both of whom were either Officers or Directors
at the time of issuance.
On June 16, 2000, InvestNet executed a promissory note in the amount of $30,000
to be paid no later than June 15, 2001 in favor of Wolf Fiedler, a principal
shareholder. This amount is unsecured and non-interest bearing.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
No established public trading market exists for InvestNet's securities.
InvestNet has no common equity subject to outstanding purchase options or
warrants. InvestNet has no securities convertible into its common equity. There
is no common equity that could be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act or that InvestNet has agreed to register under the Securities Act for sale
by shareholders. Except for this offering, there is no common equity that is
being, or has been publicly proposed to be, publicly offered by InvestNet.
As of June 30, 2000, there were 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding, held
by two (2) shareholders of record. Upon effectiveness of the registration
statement that includes this prospectus, 10,000,000 new shares of InvestNet will
be eligible for sale.
To date InvestNet has not paid any dividends on its common stock and does not
expect to declare or pay any dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable
future. Payment of any dividends will depend upon InvestNet's future earnings,
if any, its financial condition, and other factors as deemed relevant by the
board of directors.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table provides summary information for the period from March 16,
2000 to October 18, 2000 concerning all compensation, either cash or non-cash,
paid or accrued by InvestNet to or on behalf of the chief executive officer and

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Stockholders' and
Board of Directors of
Investnet, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Investnet, Inc. (a development
stage company), as of June 30, 2000 and the related statements of operations and
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from March 16, 2000 (date of
inception) to June 30, 2000. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Investnet, Inc. (a development
stage company), as of June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the period from March 16, 2000 (date of inception) to June 30,
2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company's revenue generating activities are not in
place and the Company has incurred a loss. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 16,
2000 (date of inception). The Company has not commenced planned principal
operations. The Company proposes to seek business ventures which will allow for
long-term growth. Further, the Company is considered a development stage company
as defined in SFAS No. 7 and has not, thus far, engaged in business activities
of any kind. The Company has, at the present time, not paid any dividends and
any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial
requirements of the Company and other relevant factors.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Option Agreement
The option agreement will be accounted for as a deposit in the mining property
as payments are made and will be evaluated periodically for recoverability.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to give effect to
temporary differences between financial and tax reporting, principally related
to net operating loss carryforwards.
Earnings Per Share
The computation of basic earning per common share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during each period.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock
equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants
outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per
share during the period. The Company does not have any stock options or warrants
outstanding at June 30, 2000.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on
cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
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 during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Going Concern
As of June 30, 2000, the Company's revenue generating activities are not in
place, and the Company has incurred a loss for the period then ended. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.
Management intends to seek additional funding through business ventures. There
can be no assurance that such funds will be available to the Company, or
available on terms of acceptable to the Company.

3. Option Agreement
The Company has entered into an Option Agreement with an unrelated party which
grants the Company exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest in mining
property, subject to a net smelter royalty of 4% in consideration of certain
option payments and expenditures to be satisfied over the next six years. The
Option Agreement may be terminated within 30 days notice. The Company satisfied
the initial option payment of $30,000 and must make seven successive option
payments by certain dates in order to maintain the Option. In addition, the
Company must incur a determined amount of exploration expenses to acquire the
property. The successive option payments and the determined amount of
exploration expenses with the respective due dates are as follows:
Option Payment
Due Date Amount
---------------------------------------------------- -----------------
June 14, 2001 $ 5,000
December 14, 2001 $ 5,000
June 14, 2002 $ 60,000
June 14, 2003 $ 100,000
June 14, 2004 $ 100,000
June 14, 2005 $ 100,000
June 14, 2006 $ 100,000
Exploration Expenditure Amount
Due Date

July 1, 2002 $ 250,000
July 1, 2004 $ 500,000
July 1, 2006 $ 1,000,000
4. Note Payable

is unsecured, non-interest bearing and is due June 15, 2001.

5. Income Taxes
The difference between income taxes at statutory rates and the amount presented
in the financial statements is a result of an increase in the valuation
allowance to offset the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss
carryforward.
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,026, which
begin to expire in the year 2020. The amount of net operating loss carryforward
that can be used in any one year will be limited by significant changes in the
ownership of the Company and by the applicable tax laws which are in effect at
the time such carryforwards can be utilized.
6. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
No amounts were paid for interest or income taxes during the period ended June
30, 2000.
7. Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par
value of $.001 per share. The preferred stock can be issued in various series
with varying dividend rates and preferences.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective date of FASB
Statements No. 133." SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards of
all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position
and measurement of those instruments at fair value. SFAS 133 is now effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company believes that the
adoption of SFAS 133 will not have any material effect on the financial
statements of the Company.

PART II--INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
InvestNet's Articles of Incorporation, Article 8, filed as Exhibit 3(i), provide
that it must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted under Nevada law against all liabilities incurred by reason of the
fact that the person is or was a director or officer of InvestNet or a fiduciary
of an employee benefit plan, or is or was serving at the request of InvestNet as
a director or officer, or fiduciary of an employee benefit plan, of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise.
The Bylaws, Section 6.09, of InvestNet, filed as Exhibit 3(ii), provide that it
will indemnify its officers and directors for costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the defense of actions, suits, or proceedings against them on
account of their being or having been directors or officers of InvestNet, absent
a finding of negligence or misconduct in office. The Bylaws also permit it to
maintain insurance on behalf of its officers, directors, employees and agents
against any liability asserted against and incurred by that person whether or
not InvestNet has the power to indemnify such person against liability for any
of those acts.
The effect of these provisions is potentially to indemnify InvestNet's directors
and officers from all costs and expenses of liability incurred by them in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which they are involved by
reason of their affiliation with InvestNet. Pursuant to Nevada law, a
corporation may indemnify a director, provided that such indemnity shall not
apply on account of (a) acts or omissions of the director finally adjudged to be
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (b) unlawful
distributions; or (c) any transaction with respect to which it was finally
adjudged that such director personally received a benefit in money, property, or
services to which the director was not legally entitled.
OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
The securities are being registered in connection with the public offering of
10,000,000 shares of our common stock, and all of the following expenses will be

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Set forth below is information regarding the issuance and sales of InvestNet
securities without registration since its formation. No such sales involved the
use of an underwriter and no commissions were paid in connection with the sale
of any securities.
On March 15, 2000 InvestNet issued a total 500,000 shares of common stock.
250,000 shares were issued to Ruairidh Campbell and 250,000 shares were issued
to Wolf Fiedler. InvestNet relied on exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We made this offering based on the following
factors: (1) the issuance was an isolated private transaction by InvestNet which
did not involve a public offering; (2) there were only two offerees who were
officers and directors of InvestNet, (3) the offerees will not resell the stock
but will continue to hold it for at least one year; (4) there were no subsequent
or contemporaneous public offerings of the stock; (5) the stock was not broken
down into smaller denominations (6) the negotiations for the sale of the stock
took place directly between the offerees and InvestNet.
On June 16, 2000, we executed a promissory note in the amount of $30,000 to be
paid in full no later than June 15, 2001, in favor of Wolf Fiedler, a principal
shareholder. This promissory note is unsecured and bears no interest. This
promissory note was given to Mr. Fiedler in exchange for a loan of $30,000 to
InvestNet, which we used to acquire the option to mine the Bow Mines property.
The issuance of the security was exempt from registration under section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the following factors: (1) the
issuance was an isolated private transaction by the issuer which did not involve
any public offering; (2) there was only one offeree, Wolf Fiedler; (3) Mr.
Fiedler had a special relationship with InvestNet as a former director and a 50%
shareholder; (4) the offeree has not resold the note but continues to hold it to
this day; (5) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of
promissory notes by InvestNet; (6) the negotiations for the execution of the
promissory note took place directly between Mr. Fiedler and InvestNet.

UNDERTAKINGS
The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
o File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
o Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
o Reflect in the prospects any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
Registration Statement; and
o Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
o File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
o For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat the information
omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of the Registration
Statement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities
Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission
declared it effective.
o For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
Registration Statement for the securities offered in the Registration
Statement, and the offering of such securities at the time as the initial
bona fide offering of those securities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant,
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has 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 a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant 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 by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
