                                     PART 1


Zeb Oro  Explorations  Inc. (the  "Registrant"  or the "Company") is filing this
Form 10-SB on a voluntary basis to:

     1.   provide current, public information to the investment community;

     2.   to expand the availability of secondary  trading  exemptions under the
          Blue  Sky  laws  and  thereby   expand  the  trading   market  in  the
          Registrant's securities, and

     3.   to  comply  with   prerequisites   for  listing  of  the  Registrant's
          securities on NASDAQ.


ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

         The Registrant was incorporated on March 4, 1999. The Registrant has no
subsidiaries  and  no  affiliated  companies.   The  executive  offices  of  the
Registrant are located at Suite 825 - 1200 West 73rd Avenue, Vancouver,  British
Columbia, Canada, V6P 6G5, (Tel) 604-267-1100 (Fax) 604-267-1101.

         The  Registrant is engaged in the  exploration  of mineral  properties.
(see Part 1, "Exploration and Development of the Zeb Oro Mineral Property"). The
Registrant is not in the development stage with regards to any mineral claim. No
ore body has been discovered and no substantial exploration has been done on its
mineral  claim.  The Registrant is purely an  exploration  company.  There is no
assurance that any ore body will ever be found and that the Registrant will have
sufficient  funds to undertake the exploration  work required to identify an ore
body.

         Management  anticipates that the Registrant's  shares will be qualified
on the system of the National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc. ("NASD")
known as the Bulletin Board.


         The  Registrant  owns the mineral  rights to one mineral claim known as
the Zeb Oro claim . It has the  executive  rights to all minerals on the Zeb Oro
claim until  February 11, 2000. If the Registrant  does not perform  exploration
work or  pay-cash-in-lieu  in the amount of $1,000 (Cdn. $1,500) by February 11,
2000 the rights to the  mineral  claims will expire and can be staked by others.
Nevertheless,  the  Registrant has decided to undertake a grip and soil sampling
prior to the end of October 31, 1999. Depending upon the cost of the exploration
program, the Zeb Oro claim will be kept in good standing until at least February
11, 2001.


         The  Registrant  has no  revenue  to date from the  exploration  of its
mineral property, and its ability to effect its plans for the future will depend
on the availability of financing. Such financing will be required to explore the
Registrant's  mineral  property  to a  stage  where  a  decision  can be made by
management as to whether an ore body exists and can be successfully brought into
production.  The Registrant  anticipates obtaining such funds from its directors
and officers,  financial institutions or by way of the sale of its capital stock
in the future (see Part 1, Item 2 - "Plan of  Operations"),  but there can be no
assurance that the Registrant will be successful in obtaining additional capital
for  exploration  activities  from the sale of its capital stock or in otherwise
raising substantial capital.




                                       3

PLANNED BUSINESS

         In addition to  exploring  and, if  warranted,  developing  its mineral
property,  the Registrant plans to seek out additional mineral properties either
by way of purchase, staking or joint venturing of other mineral properties. (See
Part 1, Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation").

         Much of the discussion  contained in this section is "forward  looking"
in that actual  results may  materially  differ from the  Registrant's  plans as
currently  contemplated.  Information concerning all the factors associated with
the  Registrant  is set forth in this  Item 1 and in Items 2 and 3 below.  FOR A
COMPLETE  UNDERSTANDING  OF SUCH FACTORS,  THIS ENTIRE  DOCUMENT,  INCLUDING THE
FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  AND  THEIR  ACCOMPANYING  NOTES,  SHOULD  BE  READ IN ITS
ENTIRETY.

         All  dollar  amounts  shown in this  document  are stated in US dollars
unless otherwise noted.

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ZEB ORO MINERAL PROPERTY

          The Registrant  retained Calvin Church, P. Geo. of Vancouver,  British
Columbia,  to summarize  the geology and mineral  potential on its mineral claim
near Zeballos, British Columbia. His report is dated April 30, 1999. The mineral
claim was staked  February 11, 1999 by Edward Skoda on behalf of the  Registrant
and named Zeb Oro.


         The claim covers 15 metric units (13.2 square miles) located within the
Zeballos  Mining Camp near the town of  Zeballos on the West Coast of  Vancouver
Island,  British  Columbia,  Canada.  Gold bearing  quartz veins in the Zeballos
mining camp  produced over 287,811  ounces of gold and 124,700  ounces of silver
from ore averaging 0.44 ounces per ton during the period 1934 to 1948.  Previous
production in the Zeballos mining area was done by the following operators:

                Privateer                   154,381 ounces
                Spud Valley                  54,039 ounces
                Mount Zeballos               30,525 ounces
                Central Zeballos             20,472 ounces
                Prident                      13,937 ounces
                White Star                    7,081 ounces
                C. D. (Rey Oro)               4,600 ounces
                Homeward                      1,491 ounces
                Van Isle                      1,178 ounces
                Rimy                             44 ounces
                Tagore                           38 ounces
                Golden Portal                    20 ounces
                King Midas                        5 ounces
                                            -------
                                            287,811 ounces
                                            =======
         Calvin Church's report  summarizes  geology and  mineralization  in the
Zeballos  mining camp and potential for  discoveries  on the Zeb Oro claim.  The
report is  summarized  under this section of Part 1. Mr.  Church has not visited
the  property,  which  was  covered  in snow at the time of his  writing  of the
report.


         Church's report gives the following  recommendations for an exploration
program:



                                       4
<PAGE>

o    Airphoto interpretation and reconnaissance mapping is required to determine
     structural  breaks and  intersecting  fault  structures  very  important to
     ground preparation and the formation of mineral deposits in the area.

o    Construction of a soil geochemical grid across structural  features sampled
     at 20 metre  intervals on lines spaced 100 metres  apart.  Major  northeast
     striking  stratigraphic  contacts and shear zones should be prospected  and
     the  grids  orientated  perpendicular  to them  should  they  appear  to be
     mineralized.  If terrain conditions  prohibit  establishing a grid, closely
     spaced contour sampling traverses should be considered.

o    Ground  geophysical  surveys using VLF-EM and  magnetometer  instruments to
     locate less  obvious  linear  features  (faults),  geological  contacts and
     mineralized horizons.

o    Prospecting and detailed  geological mapping at 1:2000 scale or better over
     the entire  claim  area.  Prospecting  could be  prioritized  according  to
     favorable geologic contacts especially where VLF-EM conductors have already
     been identified.

o    Providing  favorable results are obtained in the soil geochemical  sampling
     program additional  exploration  consisting of trenching and drilling would
     be recommended to target anomalies from that program.

LOCATION, ACCESS AND TOPOGRAPHY

         The Zeb Oro  mineral is  situated  just north of the town of  Zeballos,
which is located on the West Coast of Vancouver Island about 300 kilometres (189
miles) northwest of Victoria, British Columbia. The geographic center of the Zeb
Oro property is located at 126(degree)49'55" West Longitude and 50(degree)02'28"
North Latitude on N.T.S. mapsheet 92 L/2. This location may also be described as
being in U.T.M.  zone 09 (Universal  Transverse  Mercantor grid system stated in
metric used by the military to determine a precise  location)  with  coordinates
Northing  5545200N and Easting 655300E.  The claim's  southeast corner is in the
Zeballos  river  valley  about two  kilometers  (1.2  miles)  downstream  of its
junction with the Nomash River.

         Access is by an all weather road which  follows the Zeballos  River and
connects  Zeballos to the Island  highway at Mukwilla Lake. The road crosses the
southeast  corner of the property seven kilometres (4.3 miles) north of the town
of Zeballos  from where steep  footpaths  follow  creeks to higher ground in the
northwest area of the claim.

         The terrain is mountainous and rugged.  Elevations range from 20 meters
(75  feet) in the  Zeballos  River  valley  to above  1,030  meters  (Mt.  Lukwa
3,749feet) at some of the local peaks within the mining camp. Many of the creeks
flow down  waterfalls  in narrow  canyons and there are many  unscalable  bluffs
which make foot traverses  difficult.  The area is considered coastal rainforest
and total annual  precipitation  is high,  rarely less than 500 centimeters (200
inches.).  Forests of yellow  cedar and hemlock  populate the  mountaintops  and
Douglas fir and red cedar grow well in the river valleys,  however,  much of the
main drainages were logged in the 1940's.

CLAIM STATUS


         The Zeb Oro claim was staked by Edward Skoda and is  registered  in the
Alberta  Mining  Division of British  Columbia.  The  Registrant  owns the claim
outright.  Mineral  tenure is secure  for one year from the date of  staking  as
described below.

Meaning of "staking" and how Mr. Skoda staked the Claim.

         The  word  "staking"  is used by the  Ministry  of  Energy,  Mines  and
Petroleum in Mineral Tenure Act to define work on the ground which means cutting
trees for posts,  setting up prepared  posts,  affixing  tags to existing  legal
posts and marking  lines.  The  requirement of the Mineral Tenure Act is that to
obtain the rights to minerals the ground must be staked.  The work  "staking" is
used to satisfy the  requirements  of the Mineral  Tenure Act whereby a "stake",
being a wooden post, must be driven into the ground at the corner of the claim.

To comply with the  requirements  of the Mineral Tenure Act Mr. Skoda  performed
the following:


     (a)  Mr.  Skoda  checked the status of the land to be staked by a review of
          the records at the Gold  Commissioner's  Office  prior to going to the
          Zeballos  area.  This review  ensured Mr.  Skoda that the  property in
          question was not recorded in the name of another person or company. It
          was free for staking.

     (b)  With Mr. Skoda's Free Miner  Certificate  still in good  standing,  he
          acquired  title and  topographical  maps from the Gold  Commissioner's
          Office,  purchased  several  metal  tags to be  affixed  to the stakes
          before traveling to the Zeballos area.



         Mr. Skoda walked a line of 1,500 feet from the identification  post and
flared the surrounding  trees with paint on the side facing the post and cut the
underbrush  where the trees were not available for painting.  He returned to the
identification  post and did a similar walk at a 90 degree  angle.  Flagging the
trees with ribbon is also  acceptable  or pickets  placed in the ground if there
are no trees. These lines and the "identification"  post are necessary to ensure
there is adequate marking on the ground to identify the claim location.

         In  performing  his duties of  staking  the Zeb Oro  Claim,  Mr.  Skoda
adhered to the above  requirements and filed with the Ministry of Energy,  Mines
and  Petroleum  the  required  information  as contained in the Record of 4 Post
Claim - Mineral Tenure Act (Section 23)

         The  claim  was  staked  by Mr.  Skoda  prior to the  Registrant  being
incorporated.  The name of the Registrant was derived from the claim itself. The
Registrant will  concentrate its efforts in the exploration of the Zeb Oro claim
but will also consider other mineral properties of interest in the future.

          Mr.  Skoda  was the  staker of the Zeb Oro claim who sold the claim to
the  Registrant  for  $376  (Cdn.  $550) in March  1999.  He is not an  officer,
director or shareholder of the Registrant and has no responsibilities in any way
with regard to the Registrant.


REGIONAL GEOLOGY

         The rocks in the Zeballos-Nimpkish lake area were originally mapped and
correlated  with rocks of the adjacent area by D.H.  Gunning in 1932. He defined
the Upper Triassic volcanoclastic  sequences in the area as the Vancouver Group.
The  stratigraphic  sequence of volcanic and sedimentary  rocks of the Vancouver
Group  comprises a  conformable  series that strikes north to northwest and dips
west to  southwest.  Consequently  the oldest rocks in the area




                                       6
<PAGE>




are found to the east and the youngest are to the west. Upper Triassic Karmutsen
volcanics  (muTRK) form the base of the  Vancouver  Group and consist of a thick
series of  intermediate  to basic  volcanic  flows with very little  interbedded
sedimentary material.  Conformably above the Karmutsen Formation is the Quatsino
Formation  (uTRQ)  which is composed of massive to thickly  bedded white to blue
crystalline  limestone.  The  succeeding  Upper  Triassic  Parson Bay  Formation
(uTRPB) is  composed  of  interbedded  calcareous  black  argillite,  calcareous
greywacke and sandy to shaly  limestone.  A general  coursening of grain size is
seen moving upward in the stratigraphic succession. The Bonanza Group (IJB) caps
the stratigraphic  succession and includes an upper volcanic unit (rhyolitic and
basaltic tuffs and breccias) and a lower calcareous sedimentary unit.

         The  intrusive  rocks of the region  form part of the Coast  intrusions
that range in  composition  from  quartz  diorite to granite  and were  emplaced
during Jurassic to Cretaceous time. On northern Vancouver Island these intrusive
rocks form regional  patterns of narrow  northwest  trending belts  separated by
slightly  wider belts of Upper  Triassic  volcanic and  sedimentary  rocks.  The
pattern  is  more  pronounced  on the  west  side  of the  island  where a three
kilometre wide belt,  just west of Nimpkish  Lake, has been traced  southeast to
Vernon  Lake,  a distance of 80  kilometres.  Within the  Vancouver  and Bonanza
Groups  the   intrusives   form   sills,   dykes  and  high   level   stocks  of
hornblende-quartz-feldspar   porphyry  and  there  is  an  apparent   comagmatic
relationship   between   intrusives   and   volcanics.   Much  of  the  economic
mineralization  within the Zeballos  mining camp was  developed  in, or in close
association to, these intruding batholiths and stocks.

         The geological structures of northern Vancouver Island are probably due
to several periods of deformation occurring from late Mesozoic to early Tertiary
time.  Vancouver  Group rocks are folded into broad  regional  anticlinoria  and
synclinoria that strike northwesterly and have average trough to crest distances
of 11 to 16  kilometres.  Structural  deformation  in the  Zeballos  map area is
complex due to the  predominance  of  intrusive  bodies  that  disrupt the broad
folds.  It is  particularly  noticeable  where  intrusive  bodies  have  invaded
Quatsino  limestone  or  sedimentary  units of the  Bonanza  Group  (Parson  Bay
Formation)  resulting in  overturned  beds and recumbent  folds.  Major north to
northwest  trending  fault zones are mapped in the Zeballos area and are thought
to be later than steeply dipping easterly trending cross faults.

          Neither Mr. Skoda or Mr. Church took any soil samples from the Zeb Oro
claim. No trench has been done on the claim.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY


         Detailed  geological  mapping of the Zeballos mining camp was completed
by J.S.  Stevenson in 1950.  Mesozoic  volcanics  and sediments of the Vancouver
Group outcrop and are intruded by Coast intrusives of probable Jurassic age over
this  relatively  small  area  (58 sq.  km.).  Andesitic  lava of the  Karmutsen
volcanics outcrop west of the north fork of the Zeballos River and represent the
oldest mapped unit.  Massive  limestone of the Quatsino  Formation  overlies the
lava to the west along Contact  creek. A large  assemblage of volcanics,  mainly
pyroclastics and minor flows of the Bonanza Formation, overlies the limestone to
the  west and  outcrops  over the  southwest  quadrant  of the  mining  camp.  A
northwesterly  belt of Coast  intrusives that include,  from oldest to youngest,
gabbro, hornblende diorite, granodiorite,  quartz diorite, and several varieties
of dykes,  invade the stratified  rocks.  The intrusives are a dominant  feature
within the  Zeballos  mining camp and, as most mineral  deposits are  associated
with it, is of considerable economic and geological interest.



                                       7
<PAGE>


         The major  structure  of the area is a  monoclinal  fold  that  strikes
northwest and dips 40 to 60 degrees southwest.  This fold is modified by a major
northwest  trending  dragfold between Lime and Contact creeks in which the crest
follows  Lime  creek and the  trough  follows  the ridge 600 metres to the east.
Minor dragfolds  occur near contacts with the quartz diorite.  A major northerly
trending  fault of  indeterminate  displacement  follows  the north  fork of the
Zeballos River and appears to dip vertically or steeply east.

MINERALIZATION AND ALTERATION

         Mineral deposits of the area include gold-bearing quartz veins and high
temperature  replacement (skarn) or contact metamorphic deposits in limestone or
calcareous  sedimentary rocks. Deposits of the latter type are confined to areas
where  Quatsino  limestone  and  sedimentary  parts of the Karmutsen and Bonanza
group rocks have been invaded by Coast  intrusions.  The replacements  typically
contain  chiefly  magnetite  with lesser  amounts of  pyrrhotite  (F.L.,  Ridge,
Churchill)  or they contain  mainly  chalcopyrite  and only minor  magnetite and
pyrrhotite  (Maquinna  and Central  Zeballos)  and  sometimes  appreciable  gold
(Beano).  In the Ford skarn  deposit a 21 metre thick  tabular body of magnetite
follows a limestone-tuff contact and has been traced along 400 metres of strike.

         Auriferous    gold-bearing    veins   of   the   Zeballos    camp   are
characteristically  narrow, with widths less than one foot (30 cm), but commonly
contain gold in excess of one ounce to the ton (35  g/tonne).  Some of the veins
occur in sheeted  zones up to 4 feet (1.2 m) wide that may pinch and swell along
strike forming lenticular (curved  structure)  quartz-sulphide  zones (Goldfield
Vein). The veins follow fairly continuous fault fissures and are often banded by
an  alternation of quartz and sulphides  where the abundance of sulphide  varies
from 10 to 50 percent  and  averages  about 25 percent.  Sulphides,  in order of
abundance   are  pyrite,   sphalerite,   arsenopyrite,   chalcopyrite,   galena,
pyrrhotite, and occasionally marcasite.


         The  producing  mines in the camp were located at the  northwest end or
nose of the quartz diorite intrusive body and related to structural  deformation
and mineralization  there. It has been found that veins, or parts of veins, that
follow the direction of tension in any fracture  pattern are the most favourable
for the  localization of ore. A study of fracture  patterns in the Zeballos camp
(J. S.  Stevenson,  1950)  determined  that veins that strike  close to north 62
degrees east and dip  vertically  were formed by tension and thus most likely to
contain  higher grade  oreshoots.  This  discovery  has been proven by practical
experience where several high grade veins (Privateeer No.3,  Goldfield Vein) and
gash veins in the Zeballos camp are orientated in this direction.

         On the Zeb Oro claim there are more than six  sheared-vein  showings of
limited  extent  containing  minor  amounts of gold and base metals.  The shears
zones are generally less than one metre wide, strike 052 to 090 degrees, and dip
steeply  north or south.  The quartz veins within the shears are usually 5 to 30
centimetres wide and mineralized with  pyrite-arsenopyrite and lesser amounts of
pyrrhotite,   sphalerite  and  galena.   Coast  intrusive  phases,   ranging  in
composition from diorite to granodiorite, host most of the veins on the property
or are spatially  related to gold-quartz  veining in intruded  volcanic rocks of
the Bonanza Group.

         The Maquinna Vein is one of the more developed showings on the property
and has been traced on surface and underground for over 640 metres.  Locally the
vein is  ribboned  and  ranges  up to 1 metre in width  with  values  up to 21.3
grams/tonne  (G.A.  Clothier,  1939).  Many of the  veins  on the  property  are
oriented in directions of maximum shear stress  (090(degree))  and as such there




                                       8
<PAGE>


is a  predominance  of broken  quartz  fragments  and gouge  within the  shears.
Directly  south  (250  m),  chalcopyrite-magnetite  mineralization  hosted  in a
silicified lens of Quatsino limestone has been explored by a series of open cuts
and a short adit. These showings,  formerly known as the Blackbird/Jack O'Spades
property, represent skarn replacement mineralization.

         The Registrant has not yet undertaken any exploration activities on its
mineral claim either in identifying  areas for  establishing a grid or in taking
soil  samples.  Calvin  Church did not perform any soil  sampling or  trenching.
Nevertheless,  the Registrant will be undertaking an exploration  program in the
latter part of October 1999 whereby a grid will be  established  on the property
and soil sampling will be done. No trenching will be done during 1999.


CONCLUSIONS MADE BY CALVIN CHURCH IN THIS REPORT.

o    The Zeb Oro  property  is  situated  within the  Zeballos  mining camp that
     includes  a number  of  former  producing  lode gold  mines  including  the
     Privateer  and Spud Valley mines.  Together  these mines  produced  287,811
     ounces of gold and 124,700  ounces of silver from 651,000 tons of ore mined
     giving  an over all  grade for the camp of 0.44  ounces  gold per ton.  The
     former gold  producers are  summarized in the table below (stated in ounces
     during 1934 to 1948):

* Including production from Big Star.
# Includes 30 oz. Produced in 1930 and 1932.


o    Most of the  production  came from  gold-bearing  veins  less than one foot
     (30cm) wide and because the veins were much  narrower  than stoping  widths
     dilution of the ore was quite high  especially  in areas of highly  sheared
     wall rock. Thus the actual grade of many of the producing veins in the camp
     are commonly higher than one ounce per ton.

o    Auriferous  quartz veins occur in the border phases of the intrusive  rocks
     and in the adjacent host rocks although  there are isolated  occurrences of
     gold-bearing  veins up to one  mile  (1.6  km)  from  any  known  intrusive
     contact.

o    The veins are commonly  banded by an  alternation  of sulphides  and quartz
     indicating several episodes of mineralization. Sulphides are common in most
     of the  Zeballos  veins  comprising  10 to 50% of  the  vein  material.  In
     quartz-sulphide  ores the gold content  increases in



                                       9
<PAGE>

     proportion  to sulphide  content and the  presence of galena or  sphalerite
     probably due to a late pulse of mineralization.

o    Studies of structural  deformation in the quartz diorite intrusive indicate
     that   veins   which   developed   parallel   to  the   plane  of   tension
     (062(degree)/90) contain the highest grade oreshoots.  Veins that developed
     along planes of maximum shearing stress (035(degree)/90 and 090(degree)/90)
     tend to be lower grade and contain abundant rock fragments and gouge.


o    High  temperature  replacement  deposits  (skarns) are found along contacts
     between Coast intrusive rocks and limestone or calcareous  sediments within
     the Zeballos mining camp. The Ford deposit produced 1,282,233,396 kilograms
     of iron  concentrate  from  1,681,283  tonnes  of ore  mined  from  massive
     replacement bodies of massive  fine-grained  magnetite.  Zeballos Iron Mine
     Ltd. operated the mine between 1962 and 1969.

RECOMMENDATIONS

o    Airphoto interpretation and reconnaissance mapping is required to determine
     structural  breaks and  intersecting  fault  structures  very  important to
     ground preparation and
     the formation of mineral deposits in the area.                                       $     2,500

o    Construction of a soil geochemical grid across structural  features sampled
     at 20 metre  intervals on lines spaced 100 metres  apart.  Major  northeast
     striking  stratigraphic  contacts and shear zones should be prospected  and
     the  grids  orientated  perpendicular  to them  should  they  appear  to be
     mineralized. If terrain conditions prohibit establishing a grid, closely
     spaced contour sampling traverses should be considered.                                   7,500

o    Ground  geophysical  surveys using VLF-EM and  magnetometer  instruments to
     locate less  obvious  linear  features  (faults),  geological  contacts and
     mineralized horizons. 1,000

o    Prospecting and detailed  geological mapping at 1:2000 scale or better over
     the entire  claim  area.  Prospecting  could be  prioritized  according  to
     favorable geologic contacts especially where VLF-EM conductors have already
     been identified.                                                                          1,000

o    Providing  favorable results are obtained in the soil geochemical  sampling
     program additional  exploration  consisting of trenching and drilling would
     be recommended to target anomalies from that program.

                                                                                              -------
     Estimated cost of exploration program                                                $   162,000

</TABLE>

The estimated cost of doing the above noted  exploration  work was determined by
Calvin Church. Presently the Registrant does not have the funds to undertake all
of Church's  recommendations.  The first four  recommendations can be undertaken
since the  directors  and officers are  prepared to advance the  Registrant  the
funds  required  to  complete  them.  The  Registrant  will not  have the



                                       10
<PAGE>

funds available to start the trenching and drilling recommendation. It will have
to seek these funds from either institutional lenders (none have been identified
to date) or from the sale of its capital  stock.  There is no certainty that any
funds can be raised for trenching and drilling.

REGISTRANT'S MAIN PRODUCT

The Registrant's primary product will be the exploration of its mineral property
which  might  eventually  result  in the sale of  minerals,  both  precious  and
commercial.  The Registrant is not at the stage of exploration  whereby minerals
can be mined and sold thereby giving the Registrant a cash flow.

REGISTRANT'S EXPLORATION FACILITIES

         The Registrant  will be exploring its mineral  claims  initially in the
Zeballos area of British Columbia and does not plan to build any mill or smelter
until such time as a  production  decision is made.  This will be several  years
into the future  before the need to build a  permanent  facility  is  warranted.
During the exploration  period, the Registrant will use tent facilities to house
its  geological  workers  since  this  will be by far the most  economic  way to
proceed.

RISK INHERENT IN MINERAL PROPERTIES

         There are certain inherent risks with mineral properties from the point
of view of the Registrant and its shareholders as follows:

1. No Commercial Ore Body Exists

         The Zeb Oro claim does not contain a known body of commercial  ore and,
         therefore,  any  program  conducted  on  these  properties  would be an
         exploratory search of ore.

2. Expenditures on Exploration Might Not Result in a Commercial Quantity of Ore

         There is no certainty that any expenditures  made in the exploration of
         the  Zeb  Oro  property  will  result  in   discoveries  of  commercial
         quantities  of ore.  Most  exploration  projects  do not  result in the
         discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore.

3. Future Funding Might Not be Available

         Resource  exploration and  development is a speculative  business since
         there is no  assurance  after the  initial  funds are  raised  that the
         Registrant can raise any further funds from the market place.

4. Ore Body Discovered Which is Not Commercial Viable

         The Registrant might discover a mineral deposit which,  though present,
         is insufficient in size or grade to return a profit from production.

5. Market Factors Beyond the Control of the Registrant

         The  marketability  of  any  minerals  acquired  or  discovered  may be
         affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Registrant's  control
         and which cannot be accurately predicted,  such as market fluctuations,
         the proximity and capacity of milling  facilities,  mineral markets and
         processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations,
         including



                                       11
<PAGE>

         regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and
         exporting of minerals, and environmental protection.

6. Competition with Other Companies

         The  mineral  industry  is  intensely  competitive  and the  Registrant
         competes with other companies that have greater resources.  Not only is
         the competition for mineral  properties of merit extremely  competitive
         but the search  for funds to develop  existing  mineral  properties  is
         competitive.  The  Registrant  might not be able to  compete as well as
         larger and more well known mineral companies.

7. High Degree of Risk in Exploring the Zeb Oro mineral claim

         Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such
         as unusual or unexpected  formations and other conditions are involved.
         The Registrant may become subject to liability for pollution,  cave-ins
         or hazards  against which it cannot insure or which it may not elect to
         insure.  The payment of such  liabilities may have a material,  adverse
         effect on the Registrant's financial position.

8. Environmental Requirements

         Prior to commencing  mining  operations on any of its  properties,  the
         Registrant  must meet certain  environmental  requirements.  Compliance
         with these  requirements  may prove to be difficult and expensive.  The
         Province  of British  Columbia  has  enacted  statutory  provisions  to
         protect the Crown's  property;  being the claim that the Registrant has
         the rights to the mineral thereon.  The Acts that the Registrant has to
         adhere to are the "Timber Harvesting  Practices  Regulations",  Mineral
         Tenure  Act,  Coal Act and  Forestry  Act.  Each of the formed Acts has
         their own  environmental  concerns which the Registrant must adhere to.
         The  Registrant  might be liable for pollution if it does not adhere to
         the  requirements of the various Acts.  Environment  concerns relate to
         the use and supply of water,  the animal life in the area, fish live in
         the streams,  the need to cut timber and removal of  overburden;  being
         the soil above the hard rock. No building or fixtures of any nature can
         be erected without the prior approval of the district inspector for the
         Province. To undertake any form of work program beyond grid preparation
         and soil  sampling,  the  Registrant  will have to prepare a "Mineral &
         Coal Notice of Work and Reclamation"  form that requires the Registrant
         to indicate  its  expected  exploration  program and how it will affect
         water  and soil  concerns.  The  cost and  effect  of  adhering  to the
         environment  requires  are unknown to the  Registrant  at this time and
         cannot be reasonably estimated.

9. Undisclosed Claims Against the Zeb Oro Mineral Claim

         While the  Registrant  has obtained the usual  industry  standard title
         reports with respect to the Zeb Oro claim, this should not be construed
         as a  guarantee  of  title.  This  property  may be  subject  to  prior
         unregistered  agreements  or  transfers or native land claims and title
         may be affected  by  undetected  defects.  Certain of the claims may be
         under  dispute and  resolutions  of a dispute may result in the loss of
         all of  such  property  or a  reduction  in the  Registrant's  interest
         therein.




                                       12
<PAGE>


10. No Survey has been Performed

         The Zeb Oro claim has never been surveyed and, accordingly, the precise
         location of the  boundaries  of the property  and  ownership of mineral
         rights on specific  tracts of land  comprising  the  property may be in
         doubt.

11. Going Concern Qualification by the Registrant's Auditors

         The Registrant's auditors have qualified their opinion as follows:

             "The accompanying  financial statements have been prepared assuming
             that the Company will continue as a going  concern.  The Company is
             in the exploration  stage and will need additional  working capital
             for its planned activity,  which raises substantial doubt about its
             ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in this
             regard to these  matters are  described in Note 5. These  financial
             statements  do not include any  adjustments  that might result from
             the outcome of this uncertainty".

         In Note 5 to the financial statements,  the Registrant acknowledges the
         fact that it is dependent upon additional financing in order to develop
         its claim. If the Registrant is unable to raise additional financing it
         will not be able to continue and may  eventually  cease to operate as a
         company.  The  auditor  wishes to alert the  readers  of the  financial
         statements  that  he  agrees  with  the  Registrant  that  there  is  a
         possibility that without  additional funding the Registrant will not be
         able to complete its goals and might cease to be an operating entity.

12. Concentration of Ownership in the Registrant by Management

         Out of the  11,025,000  shares  issued and  outstanding,  Steven Bruce,
         President of the Registrant,  and Michael Kennaugh,  each own 2,500,000
         shares of the Registrant representing 45.35% of the stock issued. There
         is very little chance that any individual or group of  individuals  can
         exercise  their  shareholders'  voting right to replace either of these
         two directors.  Therefore,  these two directors effectively control the
         Registrant and can dedicate policy as they determine it.

13. Management's Limited Experience in the Mining Industry

         The executive officers of the Registrant do not have past experience in
         the mining industry. None of the executive officers have been officers,
         directors or employees of any company in the mining industry. This lack
         of  experience  might  cause  the  Registrant  to make  decisions  that
         otherwise  would not be warranted and cause  hardship on the Registrant
         and its ability to fulfill its objectives.

14. Conflict of Interest of the Directors and Officers

          Some  of the  Directors  of the  Registrant  are  also  directors  and
          officers of other  companies.  and  conflicts  of  interest  may arise
          between their duties as directors of the  Registrant and as directors,
          officers  of other  companies.  Even with full  disclosure  by all the
          directors  and  officers,  the  Registrant  cannot insure that it will
          receive fair and equitable treatment in every transaction.

1. OTHER MINERAL PROPERTIES

         The Registrant has not identified any other mineral  properties  either
for staking or purchasing.

EMPLOYEES

         As at April 30, 1999, the Registrant did not have any employees  either
part  time or full  time.  Initially  the  Registrant  will not wish to bear the
burden of carrying  full time  employees  especially  during  periods when it is
difficult to work on the property due to weather  conditions.  Nevertheless  the
executive  officers  undertook  the  responsibility  of initially  identifying a
mineral  property  of  merit,   incorporating  the  Registrant,   obtaining  the
assistance  of  professionals  as needed,  identifying  potential  investors  to
contribute the initial "seed capital",  coordinating various filing requirements
and other matters normally  performed by the executive  officers.  They were not
paid for these  services in cash by the  Registrant but the Registrant has given
recognition in the financial statements to this contribution by expensing $1,000
for services of the  President  and  crediting  capital  contribution  of a like
amount.

         The Registrant is not a party to any employment contracts or collective
bargaining agreements.  The British Columbia area has a relatively large pool of
people experienced in exploration and development of mineral  properties;  being
mainly  geologists  and mining  consultants.  In  addition,  there is no lack of
people who have experience in working on mineral  properties  either as laborers
or  prospectors.  The Registrant  will use  independent  workers and consultants
initially on a part time basis.

COMPETITION

         In Canada there are numerous mining and exploration companies, both big
and small. All of these mining and exploration  companies are seeking properties
of merit and  availability of funds. The Registrant will have to compete against
such  companies  to  acquire  the  funds to  develop  its  mineral  claims.  The
availability  of funds for  exploration is sometimes  limited and the Registrant
might find it difficult to compete with larger and more well-known companies for
capital.  Even though the Registrant has the rights to the mineral on its claims
there is no guarantee it will be able to raise sufficient funds in the future to
maintain its mineral claims in good standing. Therefore, if the situation occurs
that it does not have  sufficient  funds for  exploration the claims might lapse
and be staked by other mining interests.  The Registrant might be forced to seek
a joint venture partner to assist in the  development of its mineral claims.  In
this case, there is the possibility that the Registrant might not be able to pay
its  proportionate  share of the  exploration  costs and might be  diluted to an
insignificant carried interest.

         Even  when a  commercial  viable  ore body is  discovered,  there is no
guarantee  competition in refining the ore will not exist.  Other  companies may
have  long  term  contracts  with  refining  companies  thereby  inhibiting  the
Registrant's  ability to process its ore and eventually market it. At this point
in time the Registrant  does not have any  contractual  agreements to refine any
potential ore it might discover on its mineral claims.

         The  exploration  and  development  business is highly  competitive and
highly fragmented,  dominated by both large and small mining companies.  Success
will largely be dependent on the Registrant's ability to attract talent from the
mining field.  There is no assurance  that the  Registrant's  mineral  expansion
plans will be realized.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

         The  discussion  contained in this Item 2 is "forward  looking" in that
actual work performed on the  Registrant's  mineral property may differ from the
recommended  work program as set forth in the geological  report dated April 30,
1999  prepared  by Calvin  Church,  P.Geo..  Factors  that could  cause the work
program to differ are described throughout this Form.

PLAN OF OPERATION

         To date the  Registrant  has  concentrated  on the Zeb Oro  claim.  The
Registrant is hoping to undertake an exploration program on its claim during the
fall of 1999.  It  expects  to  construct  a grid on the claim  after a detailed
mapping program has been done to determine the structure breaks and intersecting
fault structures on the claim. A grid is a geological method whereby two sets of
uniform spaced  parallel  lines  intercept at right angles by means of which the
surface of the area is divided  into squares  like a  checkerboard.  At the same
location in each square,  for example the upper left hand side of the square,  a
soil sample is taken.  All the soil samples are set to a laboratory for analysis
and  subsequently  the results are posted to a chart of the grid to determine if
there is a trend. By visually  examining the  checkerboard  chart, the geologist
will  determine  when  additional   samples  should  be  taken  and  assayed.  A
concentration  of positive grade values of ore as defined by the assays from the
laboratory  in one  direction  on the  checkerboard  chart  will  indicate  that
additional  soil  samples  are  warranted.  This stage  will cost  approximately
$10,000. After the additional samples are assayed the geologist will decide on a
ground survey using VLF-EM and magnetometer instruments in the area of interest.
There is the  distinct  possibility  that no values  will be  obtained  from the
Registrant's  grid and soil sampling  program.  It is estimated that the cost of
performing  the VLF-EM  and  magnetometer  is  estimated  to cost  approximately
$1,000.  If  this  stage  proves  success,   the  Registrant  will  undertake  a
prospecting and detailed geological mapping over the entire Zeb Oro claims. This
latter stage will cost  approximately  $1,000.  The next stage of trenching  and
drilling which may be several years into the future.  The cost is expected to be
approximately  $150,000.  There is no guarantee  that the  Registrant  will ever
reach this stage since the early exploration stages might prove that there is no
commercially  viable ore body on the Zeb Oro claim and the Registrant  will have
to abandon it.

         In the future,  the Registrant  will seek to  investigate  other mining
properties  to  determine  which  ones are of merit and are of  interest  to the
Registrant.  Subject to the availability of financing,  the Registrant will seek
to  increase  its  inventory  of  mineral   properties  and,  if  acceptable  to
management, enter into joint venture agreements to develop various other mineral
properties of merit.  (See Part 1, Item 1 - "Description of the Business").  The
Registrant  will seek to  generate  such funds  through  the sale of  securities
and/or  institutional  financing.  If an  underwriter  can be  found,  a  public
offering of common stock will be considered;  alternatively  the Registrant will
seek to raise funds through a private offering of securities to an institutional
buyer or through a registered  broker dealer.  The Registrant does not presently
have any financing  arranged for nor has any underwriter yet expressed  interest
in such an offering,  and there can be no assurance that an  underwriter  can be
found on terms acceptable to the Registrant.
In the absence of such financing,  the Registrant may be unable to put its plans
into effect.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          As at April 30, 1999, the Registrant had $9,811 of assets,  and $3,345
of liabilities. The cash equivalent as at April 30, 1999 was $9,811.




                                       15
<PAGE>


         The  Registrant  has  no  contractual   obligations  for  either  lease
premises, employment agreements or work commitments on the Zeb Oro claim and has
made no commitments to acquire any asset of any nature.

         Operational and administrative  expenses of the Registrant for 1999 are
projected to be approximately $4,500 which will comprise audit ($1,500),  filing
fees with regulatory authorities -Edgar ($1,200), transfer agent's fees ($1,000)
and miscellaneous  ($750).  The Zeb Oro claim is in good standing until February
2000 and if warranted the Registrant need not spend any money on its claim until
that date.  The cost to maintain the claim in good  standing  for an  additional
year after  February  11,  2000 is $1,000.  The  Registrant  can either  perform
exploration  work on the claim in this amount or pay the Ministry of Finance the
equivalent sum. The latter payment is known as cash-in-lieu. To maintain the Zeb
Oro claim in good standing for the year commencing  February 11, 2001 the amount
would be $2,000. There is no increase in amount to be spent on the mineral claim
after the second year; it will remain at $2,000.

         The current cash position is sufficient to pay the above noted expenses
and if required the officers and directors can advance  additional  funds to the
Registrant.

          Since  March  4,  1999,  the date of  inception,  the  Registrant  has
incurred the following expenses:


                  Accounting and audit                       (1)    $   2,250
                  Bank charges                               (2)           75
                  Geology report                             (3)        1,200
                  Incorporation costs written-off            (4)          670
                  Management fee                             (5)        1,000
                  Office and miscellaneous                   (6)          175
                  Rent                                       (7)          600
                  Staking costs                              (8)          368
                  Telephone                                  (9)          200
                  Transfer agent's fees                     (10)        2,296
                                                                       ------
                     Total expenses for the period                  $   8,834
                                                                       ======

     (1)  Audit fee - $2,250

     The Registrant had its financial  statements  audited as at April 30, 1999,
     as  attached  to  this  Form  10-SB,  for a fee  of  $1,500.  In  addition,
     accounting  services  in the  preparation  of a working  paper file and the
     accounting records of the Registrant resulted in an invoice of $750.

     (2)  Bank changes - $75

     Monthly service charges for operating the account as charged by the Bank of
Montreal.

     (3)  Geology report - $1,200

     The Registrant  engaged the services of Calvin Church,  P. Geo., to write a
     report to the Registrant  detailing the mineralization on the Zeb Oro claim
     and recommending a future work program.  This report was completed on April
     30, 1999 and has been  summarized in part in this Form under the heading of
     "Exploration and Development of Zeb Oro Mineral Property."

     (4)  Incorporation costs written-off - $670

     The Registrant has treated the costs of  incorporation  as period costs and
     has  written  them off as an  expense in the  current  period  rather  than
     capitalize them and amortize them over a period of time.



                                       16
<PAGE>



     (5) Management fee - $1,000

     The  Registrant  has not paid any fees to its directors or officers  during
     the current period.  Nevertheless,  the Registrant realizes that there is a
     cost involved in the directors and officers devoting time and effort to the
     affairs of the Registrant.  Therefore,  a management fee of $1,000 has been
     expensed and credited to capital contribution during the current period.

     (6)  Office and miscellaneous - $175

     Office and miscellaneous  represents the printing of cheques for use by the
     Registrant, photocopying, courier and fax charges for the period.

     (7) Rent  -  $600

     The  Registrant  uses  the  personal  residence  of  the  President  of the
     Registrant  as an office.  No charge has been  incurred by the  Registrant.
     Nevertheless,  the Registrant  recognizes  that there is a cost to using an
     office and therefore has expensed $600 and credited to capital contribution
     a similar amount.

     (8)  Staking costs - $368

     The  Registrant  engaged the  services of Edward Skoda to stake the Zeb Oro
     claim in the Zeballos  area of British  Columbia.  Mr.  Skoda  invoiced the
     Registrant for his staking and recording costs.

     (9)  Telephone - $200

     The   Registrant   has  not  incurred  any   telephone   charges  to  date.
     Nevertheless,  the Registrant recognizes the fact that there is a telephone
     cost to  operating  a business  and  therefore  has  expensed  $200 with an
     offsetting credit to capital  contribution.  This expense was determined on
     the fair market value of  obtaining a telephone  line and  operating  for a
     three month period.

     (10) Transfer agent's fees - $2,296

     Transfer agent's fees comprise $1,200 as the annual fee paid to maintain an
     account with the transfer agent and $1,096 for  preparation and issuance of
     share certificates.  The Registrant has treated for accounting purposes the
     annual fee of $1,200 as a period cost and has written it off in the current
     period rather than amortizating it over the entire year.

         Management  feels that its present cash  position  after the payment of
all outstanding  accounts  payable is sufficient to meet its present needs other
than  undertaking any exploration  program on the Zeb Oro claim. To maintain the
Zeb Oro claims in good standing for an additional  year, being to February 2001,
would  result in cash been spent in the amount of  approximately  $1,000.  Other
expenses  required  by the  Registrant  in the  immediate  future  would  be for
accounting, transfer agent charges, office expenses and audit. If the Registrant
wishes to explore  the Zeb Oro claim it will  require  additional  funds.  These
funds might be provided by the directors and officers,  by way of bank financing
or the selling of the  Registrant's  capital stock.  No  consideration,  at this
time, has been given to the raising of additional funds.

         Management  does  not  believe  the  Company's   operations  have  been
materially affected by inflation.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER PROBLEMS

         The  Registrant is engaged in and  dependent on computer  technology in
its business operations.  Many existing computer programs use only two digits to
identify a year in the date field; i.e., "98" instead of "1998".  These programs
were  designed  and  developed  without  considering  the impact of the upcoming
change in the century,  i.e., Year 2000. The Registrant  uses computer  software
programs and systems that are essential to its business operations.  In addition
to the computer  software  programs,  all computer  equipment  contains embedded
computer  chips.  The  Registrant  is  dependent  upon  equipment  used  by  its
suppliers, geologists and other professional bodies; all of which are themselves
dependent upon computer software and computer equipment. It is difficult for the
Registrant  to ensure  that its  suppliers,  geologists  and other  professional
bodies have addressed the Year 2000 problem.

         The Registrant has determined  that the  consequences  of its Year 2000
issues are likely to be material,  in that a breakdown in the economy due to the
Year 2000 problem might  endanger its chances of having  meaningful  information
from its exploration results. If not corrected, many computer applications could
fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year 2000. The Registrant has:

     1.   The  Registrant  will be  acquiring  before  the year  2000  Pentium 3
          computers using Microsoft  Windows 98 which are Year 2000  compatible.
          The Registrant  will undertake a review of the computer  equipment and
          software  available  to it and  determine if the Year 2000 problem has
          been  addressed.  This review  should be completed by the last fall of
          1999.

     2.   incurred  no cost,  as yet, to address the Year 2000 issue but expects
          its  cost  in the  future  will be for the  purchase  of the  computer
          equipment and software mentioned in (1) above.

     3.   acknowledged  the risk it faces  with the  Year  2000  issue  from its
          suppliers,  geologists and professional  bodies who have not addressed
          the Year 2000 issue and hence can no longer operate once the Year 2000
          is upon the business community.

     4.   a  contingent  plan  in  that  it will  discuss  with  its  suppliers,
          geologists and other professional bodies their contingent plans and if
          they do not address the Year 2000 problem the  Registrant  will switch
          to other suppliers,  geologists and professional bodies that have done
          so.  There  is no  guarantee  the  Registrant  will be  successful  in
          identifying  those suppliers,  geologists and  professionals  who have
          addressed the Year 2000 problem.

         However,  there may be untold  numbers of unforeseen  circumstances  or
unknown  factors  which the  Registrant  has not yet  identified,  determined or
anticipated  regarding the Year 2000 computer problems,  and such problems could
have a material  adverse  affect on the  Registrant's  business  operations  and
financial condition. Consequently, the Registrant can give no assurance that the
Year 2000 compliance can be fully achieved without costs and uncertainties  that
may seriously and substantially adversely affect the Registrant's operations and
financial results.


     In  summary,  the  problem is a  massive,  pervasive,  complex,  world-wide
phenomena that could,  in a worst-case  scenario,  totally shut down and destroy
the Registrant's business operations.

ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

         The Zeb Oro claim  consists  of one 15 unit metric  claim (13.2  miles)
situated  within the  Zeballos  mining camp near the town of Zeballos  about 300
kilometres (186 miles) northwest of Victoria,  British Columbia. The property is
100 percent owned by Zeb Oro Explorations Inc.

         The following is a description  of the past  exploration  activities on
the Zeb Oro claim.

         Several  prospects lie within or on the claim boundaries of the Zeb Oro
claim and can be seen on Exhibit  99 (a).  These  prospects  were all staked and
explored  initially  between 1936 and 1939 and have seen little  activity since.
Most of this early work consisted of surface stripping and a number of open cuts
or short adits driven on high-grade gold veins.  The entrances to most adits are
now caved and covered by debris and the open cuts are sloughed.

         The most extensive workings were developed on the Maquinna vein where a
total of six adits and numerous surface workings traced the vein over 670 meters
(2,630 feet). West Zeballos Gold Mines Ltd., who owned the claims,  now owned by
the  Registrant,  from 1938  until  1943,  did all the  development  work on the
Maquinna property.  The vein is ribboned with sulphides and quartz,  varying 2.5
to 27  centimeters  in width with assays up to 21.3 grams per tonne gold however
assays  long the vein are  generally  less than 7.0 grams  per tonne  gold.  The
Blackbird  occurrence is considered part of the Maquinna property and is located
220 meters south of the main adit. A silicified  lens of limestone is exposed at
the Blackbird over 25 meters and contains pods of magnetite and  chalcopyrite in
contact with hornfelsed tuffs to the north.

         The Cordova  shear-vein  occurrence was staked initially by R.V. Murphy
in 1937. He explored gold  mineralized  quartz lenses in the shear drifting a 15
meter (46 feet) adit and  opening  working  three open cuts.  The only  recorded
production  from the Zeb Oro  property  comes from the Cordova vein in 1939 when
156 grams gold,  31 grams silver and 4 kilograms of copper were  recovered  from
1.0 tonnes of ore.

         Three  other  shear-vein  occurrences  are  located  within the Zeb Oro
property  however  limited  exploration  work was  completed on them due to poor
initial results.  The Pandora vein occurs in a narrow  mineralized shear (10 cm)
and was  staked and worked in the 1939 by Jack  Crossan of  Zeballos.  The Omega
vein was  staked  by John  Hagmo and C.J.  Heaney in 1937 and later  transferred
ownership to Torres-Zeballos  Mines Ltd. who drove one short adit on the vein in
1939. No  production  was ever  recorded  from the Omega  showing.  The Peerless
occurrence is a gold mineralized  quartz vein (5.0 cm) which follows the contact
of the feldspar-porphyry dyke. The vein was prospected and exposed on surface by
Pioneer  Gold Mines Ltd. in 1937 and 1938  however no further work has ever been
recorded.

         The  Registrant's  geologist  has not taken any soil  samples  from the
property due to the snow conditions  being present when the Registrant  acquired
the claim.

OFFICES

         The Registrant's  executive offices are located at 825 - 1200 West 73rd
Avenue,  Vancouver,  British  Columbia,  Canada.  The  office is  located in the
offices of the President of the Registrant  which are used to transact  business
of his other business interests. There is no charge to the Registrant for office
but an imputed  charge of $600 has been expensed  during the current period with
an offsetting  entry to capital  contribution.  The Registrant  realizes it will
eventually  be  required  to  contribute  its



                                       19
<PAGE>


fair share to office rent. No discussions  between the directors has taken place
to date to decide upon the terms and conditions of the office rent.

INCORPORATION IN THE STATE OF NEVADA

         The Registrant  incorporated in the State of Nevada rather than British
Columbia mainly due to the tax reasons.  In British  Columbia the province has a
capital tax based on the issued and outstanding  shares.  This is an annual tax.
In  addition  both the  Federal  and  Provincial  Governments  impose tax on any

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         The  Registrant  has never before filed a  prospectus  specified  under
Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 at this time. The Registrant  raised
funds from its officers and directors relatives, friends and business associates
as more fully described below.

Shares issued to Directors

          On March 16,  1999 the  directors  of the  Registrant  subscribed  for
5,000,000  shares at $0.001 per share for cash  consideration.  The breakdown of
the shares is as follows:

                   Steven Bruce                       2,500,000 shares
                   Michael J. Kennaugh                2,500,000 shares

         This stock is  restricted  since it was issued in  compliance  with the
exemption  from  registration  provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933,  as amended.  After this stock has been held for one year,  the holders of
these shares of the  Registrant  could sell a  percentage  of their shares every
three months based on 1% of the outstanding stock in the Registrant.  Therefore,
this stock can be sold after the  expiration of one year in compliance  with the
provisions of Rule 144. There are "stop  transfer"  instructions  placed against
this stock and a legend is imprinted on each stock certificate.

Shares issued at $0.001 to non-directors and officers

         On March 20, 1999 the Registrant accepted subscription  agreements from
12 individual  corporations for a total number of 6,000,000 shares at a price of
$0.001 per share.  All shares were paid for in cash. These shares were issued in
accordance  with  the  exemption  from  registration  provided  by  Rule  504 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and an appropriate Form D
was filed in  connection  with the  issuance of these  shares.  The names of the
corporation,  the principal  officer and the number of shares purchased for each
corporation is listed below:

         Certain parties interested in the Registrant's success have contributed

without  compensation or reimbursement.  The Registrant has given recognition to
this  contribution  by including in expenses and crediting  capital  surplus the
following amounts:

               Management fees            $  1,000
               Rent                            600

         There is no lease  arrangement  for office space between the Registrant
and its President.

         Certain   directors  of  the  Registrant   are   directors,   officers,
stockholders and/or employees of other companies,  and conflicts of interest may
arise  between  their duties as directors of the  Registrant  and as  directors,
officers of other companies.  All such possible  conflicts will be disclosed and
the directors concerned will govern themselves in respect thereof to the best of
their ability in accordance with the obligations  imposed on them under the laws
of the State of Nevada.

         All   officers   and   directors   are   aware   of   their   fiduciary
responsibilities  under corporate law,  especially  insofar as taking advantage,
directly  or  indirectly,  of  information  or  opportunities  acquired in their
capacities as officers and directors of the  Registrant.  Any  transaction  with



                                       25
<PAGE>


officers or directors will only be on terms  consistent with industry  standards
and sound  business  practice in accordance  with the fiduciary  duties of those
persons to the Registrant,  and depending upon the magnitude of the transactions
and the absence of any  disinterested  board members,  the  transactions  may be
submitted  to  the  shareholders  for  their  approval  in  the  absence  of any
independent board members.

REPORTS TO SECURITIES HOLDERS

         Prior to filing this Form 10-SB,  the  Registrant has not been required
to deliver  annual  reports.  To the extent that the  Registrant  is required to
deliver  annual  reports to security  holders  through its status of a reporting
company,  the Registrant  shall deliver annual reports.  Also, to the extent the
Registrant is required to deliver  annual reports by the rules or regulations of
any exchange upon which the Registrant's shares are traded, the Registrant shall
deliver  annual  reports.  If the  Registrant is not required to deliver  annual
reports,  the Registrant  will not go to the expense of producing and delivering
such reports. If the Registrant is required to deliver annual reports, they will
contain audited financial statements as required.

         Prior to the filing of this Form 10-SB,  the  Registrant  has not filed
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Once the Registrant becomes
a reporting company,  management anticipates that Forms 3, 4, 5, 10K-SB, 10Q-SB,
8-K and Schedules 13D along with the appropriate  proxy material will have to be
filed  as they  come  due.  If the  Registrant  issues  additional  shares,  the
Registrant may file additional registration statements for those shares.

         The public may read and copy any material  which the  Registrant  files
with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Commission's Public Reference
Room at 450 Fifth Street,  N.W.,  Washington,  D.C. 20549. The public may obtain
information  on the  operation  of the  Public  Reference  Room by  calling  the
Commission at  1-800-SEC-0330.  The  Commission  maintains an Internet site that
contains  reports,  proxy and  information  statements,  and  other  information
regarding the issuers that file electronically with the Commission. The Internet
address of the Commission's site is (http://www.sec.gov).


ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         The Registrant's  articles of incorporation  currently provide that the
Registrant is authorized to issue 200,000,000  shares of common stock, par value
$0.001 per share. As at June 30, 1999, 11,025,000 shares were outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

         Each holder of record of the  Registrant's  common stock is entitled to
one vote per share in the election of the  Registrant's  directors and all other
matters  submitted to the Registrant's  stockholders for a vote.  Holders of the
Registrant's  common stock are also  entitled to share  ratably in all dividends
when,  as, and if declared by the  Registrant's  Board of  Directors  from funds
legally  available  therefore,  and to share ratably in all assets available for
distribution to the Registrant's  stockholders  upon liquidation or dissolution,
subject  in  both  cases  to  any  preference  that  may  be  applicable  to any
outstanding  preferred stock. There are no preemptive rights to subscribe to any
of the  Registrant's  securities,  and no  conversion  rights  or  sinking  fund
provisions applicable to the common stock.

         Neither  the  Registrant's  articles  of  incorporation  nor its bylaws
provide  for  cumulative  voting.  Accordingly,  persons  who own or  control  a
majority of the shares outstanding may elect all of



                                       26
<PAGE>

the  Board of  Directors,  and  persons  owning  less than a  majority  could be
foreclosed from electing any.

OPTIONS OUTSTANDING

         There are no outstanding  options.  It is the intention of the Board of
Directors to grant stock options to directors,  officers and future employees at
some time in the future.  At the present time no consideration has been given to
the granting of stock options.

ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND  DIVIDENDS  ON THE  REGISTRANT'S  COMMON  EQUITY AND
        OTHER STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

MARKET INFORMATION

         The Registrant's  stock is not presently traded or listed on any public
market. Upon effectiveness of the Registrant's  registration statement under the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, it is  anticipated  one or more broker dealers
may make a market in its securities over the counter, with quotations carried on
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s "OTC Bulletin Board".

         There is no  established  market  price  for the  shares.  There are no
common  shares  subject  to  outstanding   options  or  warrants  or  securities
convertible  into common equity of the Registrant.  The number of shares subject
to Rule 144 is 5,000,000.  Each share  certificate  has the  appropriate  legend
affixed  thereto.  There are no shares being offered to the public and no shares
have been offered pursuant to an employee benefit plan or dividend  reinvestment
plan.

HOLDERS

          The approximate  number of record holders of the  Registrant's  common
stock as at June 30, 1999 is 39 of which two are directors of the Registrant.

DIVIDENDS

         The  Registrant  has never paid cash  dividends on its common stock and
does not intend to do so in the  foreseeable  future.  The Registrant  currently
intends to retain any earnings for the operation and expansion of its business.

TRANSFER AGENT

         The  Registrant's  transfer agent is Nevada Agency & Trust Co., 50 West
Liberty Street, Suite 880, Reno, Nevada, 89501.

ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         There are no legal proceedings to which the Registrant is a party or to
which its property is subject, nor to the best of management's knowledge are any
material legal proceedings contemplated.

ITEM 3. DISAGREEMENT WITH ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

         From  inception  to date,  the  Registrant's  principal  accountant  is
Andersen Andersen & Strong,  L.C. of Salt Lake City, Utah. The firm's report for
the period from inception to April 30, 1999 did not contain any adverse  opinion
or  disclaimer,  nor were there any  disagreements  between  management  and the
Registrant's accountants.

ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

         From inception  through to June 30, 1999, the Registrant has issued and
sold the following unregistered shares of its common stock (the aggregated value
of all such offerings did not exceed US$1,000,000):



                                       28
<PAGE>

(i) Subscription for 5,000,000 shares by the Directors of the Registrant

         On March 16,1999 the Registrant  approved the issuance to its directors
of 5,000,000 shares at a price per share of $0.001. Mr. Bruce,  President of the
Registrant,  purchased for cash 2,500,000 shares and Mr.  Kennaugh,  Director of
the Registrant,  purchased for cash 2,500,000  shares.  This stock is restricted
since it was issued in compliance with the exemption from registration  provided
by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  After this stock has
been held for one year,  the Directors  could sell within a three month period a
percentage  of  their  shares  based  on 1% of  the  outstanding  stock  in  the
Registrant.  Therefore,  this stock can be sold after the expiration of one year
in  compliance  with the  provisions  of Rule 144.  There  are  "stop  transfer"
instructions  placed against this certificate and a legend has been imprinted on
the stock certificate itself.

(ii) Subscription for 6,000,000 shares at a price of $0.001 per share

         On March 21, 1999, the Registrant  accepted  share  subscriptions  from
twelve  corporate  investors of a total of 6,000,000 shares at a price of $0.001
per share.  All shares  were paid for in cash which  result in  proceeds  to the
Registrant of $6,000.  These shares were issued in accordance with the exemption
from registration  provided by Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended,  and an  appropriate  Form D was filed in connection  with the
issuance of these shares.  All of these  corporation  reside  outside the United
States  and none of the  principals  are  residents  or  citizens  of the United
States.

(iii) Subscriptions for 25,000 shares at a price of $0.10 per share

         On  March  27,  1999,  the  Registrant   accepted   subscriptions  from
twenty-five  investors  in the  amount of 25,000  shares at a price of  $0.10per
share.  In all cases the  consideration  was cash.  These  shares were issued in
accordance  with  the  exemption  from  registration  provided  by  Rule  504 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and an appropriate Form
D  was  filed  in  connection  with  the  issuance  of  these  shares.  All  the
shareholders live outside the United States and none are US citizens.

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Section  78.751  of the  Nevada  General  Corporation  Law  allows  the
Registrant  to indemnify  any person who was or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened,  pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
the  Registrant,  or is or was  serving at the  request of the  Registrant  as a
director,  officer,  employee, or agent of any corporation,  partnership,  joint
venture,  trust, or other enterprise.  The Registrant's bylaws provide that such
person shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted by
Nevada law.

         Nevada law permits the  Registrant  to advance  expenses in  connection
with defending any such proceedings,  provided that the indemnitee undertakes to
repay any such  advances  if it is later  determined  that such  person  was not
entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.  The  Registrant's  bylaws require
that the Registrant  advance such funds upon receipt of such an undertaking with
respect to repayment.

         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 such act, and is
therefore unenforceable.

Board of Directors
Zeb Oro Explorations Inc.
Vancouver B. C. Canada

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheet of Zeb Oro Explorations  Inc. (a
development  stage  company) at April 30, 1999 and the statement of  operations,
stockholders'  equity, and cash flows for the period from March 4, 1999 (date of
inception) to April 30, 1999. 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  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 financial statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide 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 Zeb Oro Explorations Inc. at
April 30, 1999 and the results of operations, and cash flows for the period from
March 4, 1999 (date of inception) to April 30, 1999 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company  will  continue as a going  concern.  The Company is in the  exploration
stage and will need additional  working capital for its planned activity,  which
raises  substantial  doubt about its  ability to  continue  as a going  concern.
Management's  plans in regard to these  matters are  described  in Note 5. These
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

                           (EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
                          NOTES TO FINANCLAL STATEMENTS


1. ORGANIZATION

The Company was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 4,
1999 with authorized common stock of 200,000,000 shares at $0.001.

The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring  and  developing  mineral
properties.  At the report date mineral claims, with unknown reserves,  had been
acquired.  The Company  has not  established  the  existence  of a  commercially
minable ore reserve and therefore has not reached the  development  stage and is
considered to be in the exploration stage. (Note 3).

Since its  inception  the Company  has  completed a  Regulation  D offerings  of
11,025,000 shares of its capital stock for cash.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICILES

Accounting Methods

The  Company  recognizes  income and  expenses  based on the  accrual  method of
accounting.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected a fiscal year ending  December 31, and has not completed
an operating  period and therefore has not filed an income tax return,  however,
the Company may incur an operating  loss for the period ended  December 31, 1999
which will be available for carryover and applied  against future taxable income
resulting  in a tax  benefit.  The  potential  tax  benefit  from any loss carry
forward  has been fully  offset by a  valuation  reserve  because the use of any
future tax benefit is doubtful since the Company has no operations.

Any loss  carryforward  from the year ended December 31, 1999 will expire in the
year 2020.

Earning (Loss) Per Share

Earnings  (loss) per share  amounts are computed  based on the weighted  average
number of shares actually outstanding.

                           (EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIIES - continued


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid  instruments  purchased with a maturity,
at the time of purchase, of less than three months, to be cash equivalents.

Capitalization of Mining Claim Costs

Cost of acquisition, exploration, carrying, and retaining uproven properties are
expensed as incurred.  Cost  incurred in proving and  developing a  commercially
minable ore reserve ready for production are  capitalized and amortized over the
life of the mineral deposit or over a shorter period if the property is shown to
have an impairment in value. Expenditures for mine equipment are capitalized and
depreciated over their useful lives.

Environmental Requirements

At the report date  environmental  requirements  related to the  mineral  claims
acquired  (note 3) are  unknown  and  therefore  an  estimate of any future cost
cannot be made.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial  instruments,  including cash, mineral leases,
and accounts  payable,  are considered by management to be their  estimated fair
values.  These  values are not  necessarily  indicative  of the amounts that the
Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Estimates and Assumptions

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing  financial  statements in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  Those estimates and
assumptions  affect the  reported  amounts of the  assets and  liabilities,  the
disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities,  and the reported revenues and
expenses.  Actual  results  could vary from the  estimates  that were assumed in
preparing these financial statements.

3. MINERAL CLAIMS

The Company has acquired one 15 unit metric  mineral  claim known as the Zeb Oro
Claim claims located in the Zeballos mining area near the town of Zeballos about
300 kilometres


                                       37

                    NOTES TO FINANCLAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


3.       MINERAL CLAIMS - continued

northwest of Victoria,  British Columbia with an expiration date of February 11,
2000. The cost of staking and filing have been expensed.

The claims have not been proven to have a  commercially  minable ore reserve and
therefore  all costs for  exploration  and retaining  the  properties  have been
expensed.

The claims may be retained by the Company by payment of yearly  lease  amount of
$1,000 in February 2000 and $2,000 in February 2001 and thereafter.


4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related parties have acquired 45% of the common stock issued.

Officers and  directors  have paid expenses for the Company which are shown as a
contribution to capital amounting to $1,800.

The  officers  and  directors  of the  Company are  involved  in other  business
activities and they may, in the future,  become involved in additional  business
ventures  which  also  may  require  their  attention.  If a  specific  business
opportunity  becomes  available,  such  persons may face a conflict in selecting
between the Company and their other  business  interests.  The risk  factors for
this  possibility  are unknown and the Company has  formulated no policy for the
resolution of such conflicts.

5.        GOING CONCERN

The  Company  does  not have the  working  capital  necessary  to  complete  the
exploration of the minerals claims in note 3.

The Company will need additional working capital to be successful in its planned
activities and  continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon
obtaining  additional  working  capital  and the  management  of the Company has
developed a strategy,  which it believes will accomplish this objective  through
additional  equity  funding,  and long term  financing,  which  will  enable the
Company to operate in the future.

Management  recognizes  that, if it is unable to raise additional  capital,  the
Company cannot be successful in its efforts.

Director so elected  shall hold  office  until his  successor  is elected at the
annual or a special meeting of the stockholders.  The holders of a two-thirds of
the  outstanding  shares of stock entitled to vote may at any time  peremptorily
terminate the term of office of all or any of the Directors by vote at a meeting
called for such purpose or by a written  statement  filed with the Secretary or,
in his  absence,  with any  other  officer.  Such  removal  shall  be  effective
immediately, even if successors are not elected simultaneously and the vacancies
on the Board of  Directors  resulting  therefrom  shall only be filled  from the
stockholders.

                  A vacancy  or  vacancies  on the Board of  Directors  shall be
deemed to exist in case of death,  resignation or removal of any Director, or if
the authorized number of Directors be increased,  or if the stockholders fail at
any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which any Director or Directors
are elected to elect the full authorized  number of Directors to be voted for at
that meeting.

to fill any vacancy or vacancies  not filled by the  Directors.  If the Board of
Directors  accepts the  resignation  of a Director  tendered to take effect at a
future time, the Board or the

                                       47
<PAGE>

stockholders  shall  have power to elect a  successor  to take  office  when the
resignation is to become effective

                  No reduction of the authorized  number of Directors shall have
the effect of  removing  any  Director  prior to the  expiration  of his term of
office.

Written  notice of the time and place of  special  meetings  shall be  delivered
personally to each  Director,  or sent to each Director by mail or by other form
of written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to him at his address as it
is shown upon the records or if not readily ascertainable, at the place in which
the meetings of the Directors are regularly  held. In case such notice is mailed
or telegraphed,  it shall be deposited in the postal service or delivered to the
telegraph  company  at least  forty-eight  (48)  hours  prior to the time of the
holding of the meeting.  In case such notice is delivered or taxed,  it shall be

required by law or by the Articles of  Incorporation.  Any action of a majority,
although not at a regularly called meeting,  and the record thereof, if assented
to in  writing by all of the other  members  of the Board  shall be as valid and
effective in all respects as if passed by the Board in regular meeting.

SECTION 8. A quorum of the Directors  may adjourn any Directors  meeting to meet
again at stated  day and  hour;  provided,  however,  that in the  absence  of a
quorum,  a majority of the Directors  present at any Directors  meeting,  either

give the  corporation  a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity  against
any  claim  that  may be  made  against  the  corporation  with  respect  to the
certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

SECTION  4. Upon  surrender  to the  corporation  or the  transfer  agent of the
corporation  of a certificate  for shares duty endorsed or accompanied by proper

purposes including voting and dividends,  and the corporation shall not be bound
to  recognize  any  equitable  or other  claims to or interest in such shares or
shares on the part of any -other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Nevada.

of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement,  vote of stockholders,  provision
of law or otherwise, as well as their rights under this Article.

         The Board of  Directors  may  cause the  corporation  to  purchase  and

asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of
such status,  whether or not the  corporation  would have the power to indemnify
such person.

respect to  indemnification  and amend  these and such  Bylaws to provide at all
times the fullest  indemnification  permitted by the General  Corporation Law of
the State of Nevada.
