SUMMARY OF OUR OFFERING

Our Business

We are one of several exploration stage companies that our
officers and directors, are associated. Mike Muzylowski is

Muzylowski and Civelli are our only officers and directors and will
continue to control 71.43% of our outstanding common stock even if
the maximum number of shares are sold.
No exploration work has been done on our property and no
commercially exploitable reserves have been identified.
The majority of our expenses to date, $498,523, have been
for the salaries of Messrs Muzylowski and Civelli.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
RISK FACTORS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to
invest in our common stock
Risks Associated with Our Company:
1. We expect losses to continue, and the failure to generate
revenues could cause us to go out of business.
We were incorporated in June 2000 and we have not started our
proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no
operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or
failure can be made. Our net loss since inception is $275,138. Our
ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow
is dependent upon
* our ability to locate a profitable mineral property
* our ability to generate revenues
* our ability to reduce exploration stage costs.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in
future periods. This will happen because there are expenses
associated with the research and exploration of our mineral
properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in
generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will
cause us to go out of business.
2. We are subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a
new business enterprise.
We are subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new
business enterprise including limited capital resources, possible
delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost
overruns. If we are not able to address these events, should they
occur, we may have to curtail or suspend our operations.
3. We have no known mineral reserves and if cannot find any we
will have to cease operations.
We have no mineral reserves. If we do not find a mineral
reserve containing gold or if we cannot develop the mineral reserve,
either because we do not have money to do it or because it will not
be economically feasible to do it, we will have to cease operations
an you will loose your investment.
<PAGE> 7
4. Our officers and directors will devote only 10% of their
time to our operations.
Our officers and directors have other interests. Because they
have other interests, they each will be devoting only 10% of their
time to our operations.
5. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must
limit our exploration.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit
our exploration. There are other larger exploration companies that
could and probably would spend more time and money exploring our
property.
6. We will have to suspend our exploration plans if we do not
have access to all of the supplies and materials we need.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the
industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, like
dynamite, and equipment like bulldozers and excavators that we
might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to locate
or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials.
We will attempt to locates products, equipment and materials after
this offering is complete. If we cannot find the products and
equipment we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans
until we do find the products and equipment we need.
7. Subsequent failure of our company will not have any adverse
affect on our officers and directors while subsequent success will
benefit them
The subsequent failure of our company will not have any adverse
affect upon Messrs Muzylowski or Civelli. The success of our
operations could be beneficial to Messrs Muzylowski and Civelli.
8. We may not have enough money to complete our exploration .
We may not have enough money to complete the exploration of our
property. If it turns our that we have not raised enough money to
complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional
funds from a second public offering, a private placement or loans.
At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional
money and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise
additional money in the future. In we need additional money and
can't raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
<PAGE> 8
9. Our officers and directors have conflicts of interest in
that they are officers and directors of other mining companies.
Our officers and directors have conflicts of interest in that
they are officers and directors of other mining companies. ^ In the
future, if we decide to acquire a mining property which is also
sought by one of the companies which Mr. Muzylowski or Mr. Civelli
are officers or directors, a direct conflict of interest could
result.
Risks Associated with This Offering:
10. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold and
we will not refund any funds to you.
There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this
offering, even if we raise a nominal amount of money. Any money we
receive will be immediately appropriated by us. We may not raise
enough money to start or complete exploration. No money will be
refunded to you under any circumstances.
11. Because we are a penny stock, you may not be able to
resell our shares.
Our common stock is defined as a "penny stock" under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and its rules. Because we are a
penny stock, you may be unable to resell our shares. This is because
the Exchange Act and the penny stock rules impose additional sales
practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our
securities to persons other than accredited investors. As a result,
fewer broker/dealers are willing to make a market in our stock.
12. After this offering, control of the company will remain
with Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli which may inhibit a change of
control.
Even if we sell all 2,000,000 shares of common stock in this
offering, Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli will still own 5,000,000
shares and will continue to control us. As a result, after
completion of this offering, regardless of the number of shares we
sell, Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli will be able to elect all of our
directors and control our operations and your ability to cause a
change in the course of our operations is eliminated. Our articles
of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. Cumulative
voting is a process that allows a shareholder to multiply the number
of shares he owns times the number of directors to be elected. That
number is the total votes a person can cast for all of the directors.
Those votes can be allocated in any manner to the directors being
elected. Cumulative voting, in some cases, will allow a minority
group to elect at least one director to the board.
<PAGE> 9
13. Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli's control can have a
depressive effect on the market price of stock.
Because Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli will control us after the
offering, regardless of the number of shares sold, the value
attributable to the right to vote is gone. This could result in a
reduction in the market value to the shares you own because of the
ineffective voting power.
14. Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli will receive a substantial
benefit from your investment.
Messrs Muzylowski and Civelli, our only shareholders will
receive a substantial benefit from your investment. They are
supplying the property to be explored which is valued at $135, cash
of $133 and a loan of $11,400 which has to be repaid. You, on the
other hand, will be providing all of the cash for our operations. As
a result, if we cease operations for any reason, you will loose your
investment while Messrs Muzylowski and Civelli will loose only
approximately $11,668.
15. Because there is no public trading market for our common
stock, you may not be able to resell your shares.
There is currently no public trading market for our common
stock. Therefore there is no central place, like a stock exchange
or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want
to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate
your own sale. Therefore, you may not be able to resell your shares.
16. One of offices will be making a contemporaneous offering
by Keystone Mines Limited.
Messrs Muzylowski and Civelli are also officers and directors of
Keystone Mines Limited. Keystone Mines is also offering shares of
common stock for sale. Keystone Mines and our corporation are
identical with the exception of the property to be explored. Mr.
Muzylowski is exclusively selling the shares of Keystone Mines while
Mr. Civelli is exclusively selling our shares. A conflict could
occur if both officers and directors offer shares of each company to
the same person.
17. Sales of common by our officers and directors will likely
cause the market price for the common stock to drop.
A total of 5,000,000 shares of stock were issued to our two
officers and directors. They paid an average price of $0.10.
They will likely sell a portion of their stock if the market
price goes above $0.10. If they do sell there stock into the market,
the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.
<PAGE> 10
--------------------------------------------------------------------
USE OF PROCEEDS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Our offering is being made on a best efforts - no minimum basis.
The net proceeds to us after deducting offering expenses of $50,000
will be $150,000 if all of the shares are sold. The first $50,000
raised will be used offering expenses. We will use the net proceeds
as follows:
Amount raised $ 50,000 $100,000 $150,000 $200,000
Allocation
Offering expenses $ 50,000 $ 50,000 $ 50,000 $ 50,000
Exploration $ 0 $ 50,000 $ 100,000 $ 130,000
Working capital $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 20,000
We have allocated a wide range of money for exploration. That
is because we do not know how much will ultimately be needed for
exploration. We believe that the required exploration work will cost
up to $120,000 and take approximately one year. If we are
successful in immediately finding gold, we will stop exploring and go
on to develop the property. Costs of exploring will then cease. On
the other hand if we do not immediately find gold, we will continue
to explore for gold on the property. If we have to continue to
explore for gold, the costs of exploration will increase.
Working capital includes the repayment of the loan made by Mr.
Muzylowski and the cost of our office operations.
Our offering expenses are comprised of an SEC filing fee, legal
and accounting expenses, printing and transfer agent fees, and state
securities registration fees. Mr. Civelli will not receive any
compensation for his efforts in selling our shares.
While we currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering
substantially in the manner set forth above, we reserve the right to
reassess and reassign the use if, in the judgement of our board of
directors, changes are necessary or advisable. At present, no
material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material
changes in the above projected use of proceeds in connection with
this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus reflecting the
same.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily
determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $200,000 in this
offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our
assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the
factors considered were:
<PAGE> 11
* our lack operating history
* the proceeds to be raised by the offering
* the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in
this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be
retained by our existing Stockholders, and
* our relative cash requirements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The following table sets forth our capitalization at July 31,
2000, on a historical basis and as adjusted to reflect the sale of
the shares.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price
and the net tangible book value per share immediately after
completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount
that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets
from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our
arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being
offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a
result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing
stockholders.
As of July 31, 2000, the net tangible book value of our shares
of common stock was a deficit of $(138) or approximately NIL per
share based upon 5,000,000 shares outstanding.
If 100% of the Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares
are sold, the net tangible book value of the 7,000,000 shares to be
outstanding will be $149,862, or approximately $0.02 per share. The
net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
stockholders will be increased by $0.02 per share without any
additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate
dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.02 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold,
you will own approximately 28.57% of the total number of shares then
outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of
$200,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own
approximately 71.43% of the total number of shares then outstanding,
for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or
other assets, totaling $500,000, or approximately $0.10 per
share.
If 75% of the Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares
are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,500,000 shares to be
outstanding will be $99,862, or approximately $0.02 per share. The
net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
stockholders will be increased by $0.02 per share without any
additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate
dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.02 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,500,000 shares are sold,
you will own approximately 23.08% of the total number of shares then
outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of
$150,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own
approximately 76.92% of the total number of shares then outstanding,
for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or
other assets, totaling $500,000, or approximately $0.10 per
share.
<PAGE> 13
If 50% of the Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 50% of the shares
are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,000,000 shares to be
outstanding will be $49,862, or approximately $0.01 per share. The
net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
stockholders will be increased by $0.01 per share without any
additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate
dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.01 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold,
you will own approximately 16.67% of the total number of shares then
outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of
$100,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own
approximately 83.33% of the total number of shares then outstanding,
for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or
other assets, totaling $500,000 or approximately $0.10 per
share.
If 25% of the Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 25% of the shares
are sold, the net tangible book value of the 5,500,000 shares to be
outstanding will be $(138), or approximately NIL per share. The net
tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders
will be increased by NIL per share without any additional investment
on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per
share to $0.01 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 500,000 shares are sold,
you will own approximately 9.09% of the total number of shares then
outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of
$50,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own
approximately 90.91% of the total number of shares then outstanding,
for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or
other assets, totaling $500,000, or approximately $0.10 per
share.

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.
Contemporaneous Offering by Keystone Mines Limited
Messrs Muzylowski and Civelli are also officers and directors of
Keystone Mines Limited. Keystone Mines is also offering the same
number shares of common stock for sale. Keystone Mines and our
corporation are identical with the exception of the property to be
explored. Mr. Muzylowski is exclusively selling the shares of
Keystone Mines while Mr. Civelli is exclusively selling our shares.
A conflict could occur if both officers and directors offer shares of
each company to the same person. We do not believe that the
conflict will have any adverse affect on our ability to raise up to
the maximum amount of this offering because the amount of money being
raised is relatively small compared to the number of potential
investors.

BUSINESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2000. We
are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.
We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 5844 South
Pecos Road, Suite D, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120 and our business office
is located at 1160 - 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada V6E 4H1. Our telephone number is (604) 605-0885.
Our offices are leased from Callinan Mines Ltd. on a month to month
basis and our monthly rental is $-0-.
Background
In July 2000, Mike Muzylowski our President and a member of the
board of directors, acquired one mineral property containing one
mining claims in British Columbia, Canada by arranging the staking of
the same through a third party, Mr. Lloyd Brewer. Mr. Brewer
brought the property to Mr. Muzylowski who believed the property
appeared to him to be promising. Messrs Muzylowski and Civelli paid
$1353.18 to stake the claims. The claims are recorded in Mr.
Muzylowski's name to a avoid paying additional fees, however, title
to the claims has been conveyed to us by an unrecorded deed. An
unrecorded deed is one which title to the property has been
transferred to us, but the deed has not been filed with the British
Columbia office of records. Title to the property is superior to all
other unrecorded deeds. Should Mr. Muzylowski transfer title to
another person and that deed is recorded before recording our deed,
that person will have superior title and we will have none. If that
event occurs, however, Mr. Muzylowski will be liable to us for
monetary damages for breach of his warranty of title. Under
British Columbia provincial law, if the deed is recorded in our name,
we will have to pay a minimum of $500.00 and file other documents
since we are a foreign corporation in Canada. We will also be
required to form a British Columbia corporation which contains a
board of directors a majority of which will have to be British
Columbia residents. We have decided that if gold is discovered on
the property and it is economical to remove the gold, we will record
the deed, pay the additional tax, and file as a foreign corporation.
We are in possession of the unrecorded deed and the decision to
record or not record the deed is solely within our province.
<PAGE> 18
To date we have not performed any work on our property. We are
presently in the exploration stage and there is no assurance that a
commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in our
property until further exploration is done and a comprehensive
evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if
we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the
reserves ourselves.
Location and Access
The Montana property consists of 1 claim totaling approximately
1,250 acres. The property is located approximately 180 east of
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and eleven miles east of
Beaverdell, British Columbia, Canada in south-central British
Columbia. There is a gravel access road to the property.
Physiography
Elevations range from 2,650 feet along Canyon Creek to 4,050
feet on ridges adjacent to Fourth of July Creek. Slopes are gentle
except in the Canyon Creek Valley. A moderate climate allows for
exploration work to be carried out on a year round basis and there is
ample timber and water on site for all phases of exploration.
Property Geology
The major type of rock found on the property is quartz. Gold,
silver and copper are found in quartz veins. We have determined that
there are quartz veins on the property. We have not determined if
there is any gold, silver or copper in the quartz veins.
Previous Exploration
We have been advised by independent sources that our property
has been subjected to previous exploration. We have no knowledge of
the extent of the exploration or the results thereof.
MAP SUPPLIED SUPPLEMENTALLY.
Our Proposed Exploration Program
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of
minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals which
are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
Our exploration program is designed to economically explore and
evaluate our properties.
We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at
this time on any of our properties.
<PAGE> 19
We intend to implement an exploration program and intend to
proceed in the following three phases:
Phase 1 will begin with research of the available geologic
literature, personal interviews with geologists, mining engineers and
others familiar with the prospect sites. We have recently begun this
phase of the exploration process on our properties.
When the research is completed, our initial work will be
augmented with geologic mapping, geophysical testing and geochemical
testing of our claims. When available, existing workings, like
trenches, prospect pits, shafts or tunnels will be examined. If an
apparent mineralized zone is identified and narrowed down to a
specific area by the studies, we will to begin trenching the area.
Trenches are generally approximately 150 ft. in length and 10-20 ft.
wide. These dimensions allow for a thorough examination of the
surface of the vein structure types generally encountered in the
area. They also allow easier restoration of the land to its pre-
exploration condition when we conclude our operations. Once
excavation of a trench is completed, samples are taken and then
analyzed for economically potential minerals that are known to have
occurred in the area. Careful interpretation of this available data
collected from the various tests aid in determining whether or not
the prospect has current economic potential and whether further
exploration is warranted.
Phase 1 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.
Phase 2 involves an initial examination of the underground
characteristics of the vein structure that was identified by Phase 1
of exploration. Phase 2 is aimed at identifying any mineral deposits
of potential economic importance. The methods employed are
* more extensive trenching
* more advanced geophysical work
* drift driving
Drift driving is the process of constructing a tunnel to take samples
of minerals for testing. Later, the tunnel can be used for mining
minerals . The geophysical work gives a general understanding of the
location and extent of mineralization at depths that are unreachable
by surface excavations and provides a target for more extensive
trenching and core drilling. Trenching identifies the continuity and
extent of mineralization, if any, below the surface. After a thorough
analysis of the data collected in Phase 2, we will decide if the
property warrants a Phase 3 study.
Phase 2 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.
Phase 3 is aimed at precisely defining the depth, the width, the
length, the tonnage and the value per ton of any mineral body.
This is accomplished through extensive drift driving. Phase 3 will
take about 6 months and cost up to $80,000.
<PAGE> 20
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if
we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the
reserves ourselves.
Competitive Factors
The gold mining industry is fragmented. We compete with other
exploration companies looking for gold. We are one of the smallest
exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small
participant in the gold mining market. While we compete with other
exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or
removal or mineral from out property. Readily available gold
markets exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of gold.
Therefore, we will be able to sell any gold that we are able to
recover.
Regulations
Our mineral exploration program is subject to the Canadian
Mineral Tenure Act Regulation. This act sets forth rules for
* locating claims
* posting claims
* working claims
* reporting work performed
We are also subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration
Code which tells us how and where we can explore for minerals. We
must comply with these laws to operate our business. Compliance
with these rules and regulations will not adversely affect our
operations.
Environmental Law
We are also subject to the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code
for Mines in British Columbia. This code deals with environmental
matters relating to the exploration and development of mining
properties. Its goals are to protect the environment through a
series of regulations affecting:
1. Health and Safety
2. Archaeological Sites
3. Exploration Access
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not
disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent
unnecessary damage to the property.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if
development is warranted on the property, will file final plans of
operation before we start any mining operations. We anticipate no
discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any
other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No
endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed
<PAGE> 21
land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts
will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to
estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the
full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be
determined until we start our operations and know what that will
involve from an environmental standpoint.
We are in compliance with the act and will continue to comply
with the act in the future. We believe that compliance with the act
will not adversely affect our business operations in the future.
Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for
manual labor exploration work on our properties. Our only technical
employees will be Mike Muzylowski and Carlo Civelli, our officers and
directors.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no employees, other than Messrs. Muzylowski
and Civelli, our officers and directors, who were compensated for
their services. Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli do not have
employment agreements with us. We presently do not have pension,
health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar
benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are
presently no personal benefits available to any employees. Messrs
Muzylowski and Civelli plan to devote 10% of their time to our
operations. Mr. Civelli lives and works full-time in Switzerland. We
do not believe Mr. Civelli's full-time employment in Switzerland or
each officer and director's limited devotion of time to our business
will have any adverse affect upon us.

associated with a number of companies engaged in the exploration
business. The table set forth below discloses other companies Mr.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-
looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to
future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements
are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate,
anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which,
by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue
certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of
the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking states are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical results or out
predictions.
We are a start-up, exploration stage company and have not yet
generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means
that our auditors believe there is doubt that we can continue as an
on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain
additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not
generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin
removing and selling minerals. Accordingly, we must raise cash from
sources other than the sale of minerals found on our property. That
cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for
cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must
raise cash to implement our project and stay in business.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from
this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise
enough money through this offering to stay in business. What ever
money we do raise, will be applied first to exploration and then to
development, if development is warranted. If we do not raise all of
the money we need from this offering, we will have to find
alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private
placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others. We
have discussed this matter with our officers, however, our officers
are unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money at this
time. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to
raise additional cash, other than through this offering. If we need
additional cash and can't raise it we will either have to suspend
operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely.
We will be conducting research in connection with the
exploration of our property. We are not going to buy or sell any
plant or significant equipment. We do not expect a change in our
number of employees.
<PAGE> 26
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about our company
upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an
exploration stage company and have not generated any revenues from
operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business
operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the
establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital
resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and
possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we conduct into the
research and exploration of our properties before we start
production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking equity
financing to provide for the capital required to implement our
research and exploration phases.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to
us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on
satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand
our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution
to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
From Inception on June 26, 2000
We just recently acquired our first property and are commencing
the research and exploration stage of our mining operations on that
property at this time.
Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money
for our property acquisition, for corporate expenses and to repay
outstanding indebtedness. Net cash provided by financing activities
from inception on June 26, 2000 to July 31, 2000 was $1,069, as a
result of proceeds received from advances. In addition a related
party paid expenses in the amount of $11,400 directly to providers,
and must be paid back.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this registration statement, we have yet to
generate any revenues from our business operations.
We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section
4(2) offering in June 2000. This was accounted for as a compensation
expense of $498,523 and advances and reimbursement expenses
of $1,477.
<PAGE> 27
Since our inception, Mr. Muzylowski, has paid expenses from us
in the total sum of $11,400, which included organizational and
start-up costs and operating capital. The loans do not bear interest
and have not been paid as of the date hereof. There are no documents
reflecting the loan and they are not due on a specific date. Mr.
Muzylowski will accept repayment from us when money is available.
If the maximum amount is raised, we intend to repay the $11,400
loaned to us from the proceeds of this offering.
As of July 31, 2000, our total assets were $11,262 and our total
liabilities were $11,400.

We believe that Mike Muzylowski and Carlo Civelli will be
subject to conflicts of interest. The conflicts of interest arise
from Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli's relationships with other
exploration corporations. In the future, Messrs. Muzylowski and
Civelli will continue to be involved in the exploration business for
other entities which result in the conflicts of interest. At the
present time, we do not foresee a direct conflict of interest because
we do not intend to acquire any additional mining properties. The
only conflicts that we foresee are Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli's
devotion of time to mining projects that do not involve us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Messrs. Muzylowski and Civelli, our officers and directors,
were compensated in shares of common stock in the amount of
$498,523 for their services and there are no plans to compensate
them in the near future, unless and until we begin to realize
revenues and become profitable in our business operations. They were
compensated for founding our company, obtaining the properties, and
initiating this offering.
<PAGE> 31
Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a
party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his
position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses
incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer
or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which
he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses
incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative
action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer
or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The
indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by
the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or
officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against
public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

Future Sales by Existing Stockholders
A total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to the
existing stockholders, all of which are restricted securities, as
defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC
promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares
can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and
restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their
acquisition.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately
resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable
restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market
price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our common
stock:
* have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally
available if and when declared by our board of directors;
* are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets
available for distribution to holders of common stock upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
* do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights
and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or

of this offering, when issued, will be fully paid for and
non-assessable. We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws
and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more
complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our
securities.
<PAGE> 33
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect
all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that
event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect
any of our directors. After this offering is completed, the present
stockholders will own approximately 71.43% of our outstanding shares.
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash
dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash
dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will
depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and
financial position, our general economic conditions, and other
pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings,
if any, in our business operations.

furnish you with an annual report. Further, we will not voluntarily
send you an annual report. We will be required to file reports with
the SEC under section 15(d) of the Securities Act. The reports will

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Abbott Mines Limited (an
exploration stage enterprise), as of July 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, and
the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and
cash flows for the one month period ended July 31, 2000, the period from
June 26, 2000 (inception) to June 30, 2000, and for the period from June
26, 2000 (inception) to July 31, 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 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 Abbott Mines Limited
(an exploration stage enterprise) as of July 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the one month
period ended July 31, 2000, the period from June 26, 2000 (inception) to
June 30, 2000, and for the period from June 26, 2000 (inception) to July
31, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company has
been in the exploration stage since its inception on June 26, 2000.
Realization of a major portion of the assets is dependent upon the
Company's ability to meet its future financing requirements, and the
success of future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company's 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.
As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, certain errors
resulting in the understatements of previously reported consulting services
and additional paid-in capital as of June 30, 2000, were discovered by
management of the company during the current year. Accordingly, these
accounts have been restated as of June 30, 2000, to correct error.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Abbott Mines Limited (hereinafter "the Company") was incorporated on
June 26, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose
of acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties. The
Company maintains offices in Vancouver, British Columbia. The
Company's fiscal year end is June 30.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to
assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company's management
which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of
the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting.
Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation in
June 2000 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned
operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration
and development of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial
minable reserve, the Company will actively prepare the site for
extraction and enter a development stage.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate
to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial
statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ
from estimated amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers
all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2000
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign Currency Valuation
The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar.
Occasional transactions occur in Canadian currency, and management
has elected to value foreign currency transactions on the date the
transaction concludes. The conversion is calculated by multiplying
the foreign currency value by the exchange rate at the close of the
nearest trading day.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts in primarily one commercial
bank in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company's cash
account is a business checking account maintained in U.S. dollars,
which totaled $127 as of July 31, 2000. This account is not insured.
Derivative Instruments
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those
instruments at fair value.
At July 31, 2000, the Company has not engaged in any transactions
that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging
activities.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
statement SFAS No. 121 titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-
lived Assets." In complying with this standard, the Company reviews
its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes
in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying
value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company does not
believe any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its
assets at July 31, 2000.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Exploration Costs
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
Company expenses exploration costs as incurred.
Compensated Absences
Currently, the Company has no employees; therefore, no policy
regarding compensated absences has been established. The Company
will establish a policy to recognize the costs of compensated
absences at the point in time that it has employees.
Provision for Taxes
At July 31, 2000, the Company had accumulated net operating losses of
approximately $500,000. No provision for taxes or tax benefit has
been reported in the financial statements, as there is not a
measurable means of assessing future profits or losses.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per share
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted
average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of
shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they
were outstanding. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as
there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company
incurred a net loss of $500,138 for the period of June 26, 2000
(inception) to July 31, 2000 and had no sales. The future of the
Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon
future successful exploration for and profitable operations from the
development of mineral properties.
Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private
placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the
event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTE 3 - PREPAID EXPENSES
During July 2000, Company's management advanced cash for the purposes
of retaining legal and accounting services in the amounts of $10,000
and $1,000, respectively. See Note 6.
NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK
During June 2000, a net total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock
were issued to officers and directors only. There was no public
offering of any securities. The value of the shares issued to the
officers was determined by multiplying the number of shares issued by
the price being asked in the initial public offering of the stock.
The aforementioned shares were issued in payment of services of
$498,523 and advances of $1,477. Total advances include repayment of
mining claim recording fees of $135 and other expenses of $1,342. A
portion of the shares were initially issued in anticipation of
payment of expenses on behalf of the Company by the Company's
officers and directors. The unpaid portion of issued shares were
deemed to be a stock subscription and classified as such on the June
30, 2000 balance sheet. As of July 31, 2000, the subscribed shares
were paid in full.
The Company, through Mr. Mike Muzylowski, its president and a member
of the board of directors, acquired 100% of the rights, titles and
interests in one mining claim in the Beaverdell Mining Camp,
Greenwood Mining Division, Beaverdell, British Columbia, Canada.
Payment of $135 was required to record the one mining claim. These
amounts were paid by the shareholders and repaid by the Company in
the form of stock as denoted above. Although the claims are recorded
in Mr. Muzylowski's name for tax purposes, title to the claims has
been conveyed to the Company via an unrecorded deed.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTIES
The Company occupies office space provided by Mr. Muzylowski, its
president, in his capacity as president and director of Callinan
Mines Limited at no charge. The value of this space is not
considered materially significant for financial reporting purposes.
Mr. Muzylowski and Mr. Carlo Civelli, both directors of the Company,
have advanced monies to the Company to open a checking account, and
in payment of expenses. The funds advanced were repaid as part of
the original stock issuance transaction. See Note 4.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTIES (Continued)
In addition, Mr. Muzylowski, who has advanced $11,400 in payment of
incorporation, audit fees, attorney's fees, and other incidental
expenses, has agreed to receive reimbursement when the Company has
the appropriate cash flow for such reimbursement. The funds advanced
are uncollateralized and non-interest bearing.
NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is presently undertaking the required steps to register
as a publicly traded company. In this regard, the Company has signed
a contract with a securities attorney to assist in this matter. The
total fees to be paid to the attorney amount to $20,000. Of this
amount, $10,000 has been paid and is recorded as a prepaid expense
(see Note 3). The remaining $10,000 will be due when the Company's
registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
NOTE 7 - CORRECTION OF AN ERROR
The accompanying financial statements for June 30, 2000, have been
restated to correct an error in the valuation of shares received by
officers in June 2000. The effect of the restatement was to decrease
net income for June 30, 2000 by $225,000 ($0.05 per share).

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the 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 Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
a. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement;
c. To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any change to such information in the registration
statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
