5TAO MINERALS LTD. and Subsidiary (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Unaudited

1.	Organization
	This summary of accounting policies for Tao Minerals Ltd. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
	Nature of Operations and Going Concern
	Tao Minerals, Ltd. (the “Company”) is a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 23, 2004, and has been in the exploration stage since inception.
	As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage and has cumulative negative cash flows from operations of $1,872,993 since inception and losses of $887,045 for the six months ended July 31, 2011. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
	As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage and has cumulative negative cash flows from operations of $1,997,700 since inception and losses of $2,409,262 for the nine months ended October 31, 2011. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
	Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. Management plans to raise equity financings over the next twelve months to finance operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to complete any of these objectives.
2.	Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TAO Minerals, LTD (“Parent” or “TAO”) and its 99% owned subsidiary, Minera TAO, SA “Minera”. Collectively, the consolidated entities are referred to herein as the “Company”. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year end is January 31.
	These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TAO Minerals, Ltd. (“TAO”) and its 99% owned subsidiary, Minera TAO, SA “Minera”. Collectively, the consolidated entities are referred to herein as the “Company”. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year end is January 31.
	Accounting Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to valuation of long-lived assets, stock based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash with maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Concentrations

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits. The company’s assets and operations are concentrated in the country of Colombia, South America.

Mineral Interests

Mineral interests associated with other than owned properties are classified as tangible assets. As of ~~July~~October 31, 2011, the Company had capitalized $~~132~~143,~~500~~365 related to the mineral rights. The mineral rights will be amortized using the units-of-production method when production at each project commences.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Management has adopted ASC 740 Foreign Currency Translation Matters. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 740 using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the year for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ deficit. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current operations.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.

Loss per Share

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock and $~~529~~647,~~430~~461 of convertible debentures which can be converted to common stock. These shares have not been included in any weighted average computations since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

~~Our~~Financial ~~financial~~ instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, notes payable, derivative liabilities, amounts due to related parties, stock issuance liabilities and convertible notes. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of ~~our~~ cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, the fair value of derivative liabilities, stock issuance liabilities and convertible notes are determined based on “Level 3” inputs, which consist of unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. WeThe ~~believe that the~~ recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Comprehensive Loss

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. At ~~July~~October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s only component of comprehensive loss was foreign currency translation adjustments. Accordingly, the balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss was charged to operations.

	Stock-Based Compensation
	In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, the Company accounts for share- based payments using the fair value method. Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.
	Business Segments

	a)	During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, the Company borrowed $50,020 of which $25,020 is owed to its President. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, $25,000 of the loans were secured with a convertible note (Note 5(g)) and converted into 26,000 split-adjusted shares of common stock. The remaining $25,020 of loans are unsecured, due on demand and bear no interest.

	b)	During the year ended January 31, 2011, the Company entered into a 12% convertible debenture for $125,800 due in one year. The terms of the debenture indicate both the holder and the Company is entitled, at their option, to convert at any time and from time to time, all or any part of the principal amount, plus accrued interest into common shares at a price per share equal to 50% of the lowest trading price of the common stock for the 30 days immediately prior to the notice of conversion. Due to this provision, the embedded conversion options qualify for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 (See Note 10below). This fair value of the derivative liabilities at issuance resulted in a full discount to the note payable. The carrying value of the convertible note was accreted over the term of the convertible note up to the value of $125,800.

		At October 31, 2011, $43,870 has been converted into 28,847 split-adjusted shares of the Company’s common stock and $81,930 remains outstanding.

7.	Commitments
	a)	During May 2010, the Directors consented to a subscription of 999,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share ($99,900) to three individuals in a private placement. As of July 31, 2011, the private placement had not been completed.
	b)	On May 15, 2010, the Company signed an investor relations agreement to provide marketing, promotional and investor relations services through November 1, 2010. The cost of these services will be the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock and a monthly fee of $3,000. The monthly fee is being paid but the stock has not been issued as of July 31, 2011. The Company has accrued the fair value of the shares of $1,040 as a stock issuance liability.
8.	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 825 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
	Fair Value Hierarchy
	ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
	Level 1 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.
	Level 2 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer, credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.
	Level 3 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.
	Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of the cash equivalent is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consists of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Convertible notes payable and derivative are valued based on “Level 3” inputs, consisting of unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as at July 31, 2011 as follows:

9. Derivative Liability

ASC 815-15 lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock.

Convertible Debt - The embedded conversion option in the Company’s convertible notes described in Note 5 contain a conversion feature that qualifies for embedded derivative classificiation. The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

The following table summarizes the change in derivative liabilities for the three months ended July 31, 2011:

Derivative Liabilities at January 31, 2011	$	683,057
Addition of new derivative liabilities		555,000
Conversion of derivatives		(605,699	)
Change in fair value of embedded conversion option		4,911
Derivative Liabilities at July 31, 2011	$	637,269

	The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the embedded conversion feature using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the convertible notes agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility ranging from 138% - 503%; risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.04% - 0.53% and expected terms based on the contractual term.

	e)	On September 12, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Change to effect a 1,000 to 1 reverse stock split of its authorized capital and its issued and outstanding shares. As a result, the authorized capital will decrease from 1,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share to 1,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. The issued and outstanding shares will decrease from 671,931,178 shares with a par value of $0.001 to 671,931 shares with a par value of $0.001.

The monthly fee is being paid but the stock has not been issued as of October 31, 2011. The Company has accrued the fair value of the shares of $1,040 as a stock issuance liability.

9.	Fair Value Measurements

	ASC 825 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

	Fair Value Hierarchy

	ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

	Level 1 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

	Level 2 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer, credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.

	Level 3 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

	Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of the cash equivalent is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consists of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Convertible notes payable and derivative are valued based on “Level 3” inputs, consisting of unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Derivative Liability

ASC 815-15 lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock.

Convertible Debt - The embedded conversion option in the Company’s convertible notes described in Note 5 contain a conversion feature that qualifies for embedded derivative classification. The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

The following table summarizes the change in derivative liabilities for the nine months ended October 31, 2011:

Derivative Liabilities at January 31, 2011	$	683,057
Addition of new derivative liabilities		675,000
Conversion of derivatives		(600,361	)
Change in fair value of embedded conversion option		987,312
Derivative Liabilities at October 31, 2011	$	1,745,008

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the embedded conversion feature using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the convertible notes agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility ranging from 138% - 391%; risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.01% - 0.26% and expected terms based on the contractual term.

General Overview and Business Development over the Last Three Years

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 23, 2004.

Effective September 21, 2009, we effected a 200 for 1 share consolidation of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital decreased from 552,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 2,760,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 547,370,946 shares of common stock to 2,736,854 shares of common stock.

The consolidation became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on September 23, 2009 under the stock symbol “TAON”. Our CUSIP number is87600P 402.

Effective September 13, 2011 we amended our Articles of Incorporation to create a series of preferred stock, designated as Series A Preferred Stock, consisting of 10,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank senior to our company’s common stock and to all other classes and series of equity security of our company.

On August 24, 2011 the directors of our company approved the consolidation of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock on a 1,000 old for 1 new basis. Upon effect of the consolidation, our company's authorized shares of common stock shall decrease from 1,000,000,000 to 1,000,000 shares of common stock, and our issued and outstanding shares of common stock shall decrease from 671,931,178 shares of common stock to 671,931, all with a par value of $0.001. As of the date of this quarterly report we have not received regulatory approval for this transaction.

On July 16, 2008, through our majority owned subsidiary Minera Tao S.A., we entered into an amended option agreement with Agrominas De Colombia, LTDA to acquire 80% of a mining interest called El Comillo in Antioquia, Colombia. The agreement amended the terms of the original option agreement entered into by Minera Tao on October 2, 2007, and subsequently extended on April 18, 2008.

Under the terms of the amended option agreement, the purchase price of the option is $1.42 billion Colombian pesos or approximately US$825,000 dollars. We paid $80,000,000 pesos (approximately US$50,000) upon closing of the option agreement and are obligated to pay $40,000,000 pesos on the 15th of every month until $320,000,000 pesos has been paid. Thereafter 20% of production will be paid until $1.1 billion pesos have been received by Agrominas De Colombia. After the acquisition price is paid Agrominas De Colombia will continue to receive 20% of the mining production. Upon receipt of $1.42 billion pesos by Agrominas De Colombia the option will be exercised and 80% ownership in the property will be transferred to Minera Tao. To date, we have paid to Agrominas De Colombia $240,000,000 pesos (or US$150,000). Our company suspended operations on this property in December 2008 due to our personnel being met by Columbian rebels demanding a war tax. We immediately reported the activity to the authorities. Pursuant to a force majeure clause in the contract, we are allowed to cease operations until the cause that activates this clause is resolved. We are still assessing the risk on this property and operations are still suspended.

The consolidation became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on September 23, 2009 under the stock symbol “TAON”.

On August 24, 2011 the directors of our company approved the consolidation of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock on a 1,000 old for 1 new basis such that our authorized capital decreased from 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 1,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and, correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock decreased from 671,931,178 shares of common stock to 671,931 shares of common stock. Our preferred stock remained unchanged.

The reverse stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on December 7, 2011. Our CUSIP number is 87600P402.

In accordance with stockholder approval received on January 30, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to increase our authorized share capital from 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value to an authorized capital consisting of 1,000,000,000, shares of common stock, par value $0.001 and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001.

We are a start-up, exploration stage company and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. We must raise cash in order to implement our plan and stay in business.

We are in the mineral resource business. This business generally consists of three stages: exploration, development and production. Mineral resource companies that are in the exploration stage have not yet found mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities, and are engaged in exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production stage. Our company is in the exploration stage.

The address of our principal executive office is Officina 301 Edeficio El Crusero, Carrera 48, 12 Sur – 148 Medellin Colombia. Our telephone numbers is 877-331-8777.

Mineral resource exploration can consist of several stages. The earliest stage usually consists of the identification of a potential prospect through either the discovery of a mineralized showing on that property or as the result of a property being in proximity to another property on which exploitable resources have been identified, whether or not they are or have in the past been extracted.

After the identification of a property as a potential prospect, the next stage would usually be the acquisition of a right to explore the area for mineral resources. This can consist of the outright acquisition of the land or the acquisition of specific, but limited, rights to the land (e.g., a license, lease or concession). After acquisition, exploration would probably begin with a surface examination by a prospector or professional geologist with the aim of identifying areas of potential mineralization, followed by detailed geological sampling and mapping of this showing with possible geophysical and geochemical grid surveys to establish whether a known trend of mineralization continues through un-exposed portions of the property (i.e., underground), possibly trenching in these covered areas to allow sampling of the underlying rock. Exploration also commonly includes systematic regularly spaced drilling in order to determine the extent and grade of the mineralized system at depth and over a given area, as well as gaining underground access by ramping or shafting in order to obtain bulk samples that would allow one to determine the ability to recover various commodities from the rock. Exploration might culminate in a feasibility study to ascertain if the mining of the minerals would be economic. A feasibility study is a study that reaches a conclusion with respect to the economics of bringing a mineral resource to the production stage.

19 22

Our mineral resource properties consist of exploration claims located in Columbia (Risaldo La Golondrina D14-082 mineral property located in Narino, Colombia) ( El Colmillo mineral property located in Antioquia, Colombia). There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically and legally feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will constitute a reserve (a reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit). Please refer to the section entitled ‘Risk Factors’, of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for additional information about the risks of mineral exploration.

Our Current Business

We are an exploration stage company that has not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. We have concentrated our recent exploration efforts on the La Golondrina Property in Columbia. In July, 2008 we acquired a mineral right in the El Colmillo property in Colombia. In October, 2009, our company decided to employ our efforts in exploration of the El Colmillo property for the next 12 months and will hold exploration of the Golondrina property until a determination of viability at El Colmillo can be determined. In December 2008, company personnel at the El Colmillo property were met by Colombian rebels who demanded a war tax to permit the development activities to continue. Our company immediately ceased any efforts at the mine and reported the situation to the Colombian government and to the issuer of the option. Our company invoked the force majeure section of the contract and we are waiting to see what developments will take place.

Our principal sources of funds have been from sales of our common stock and short term loans.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

Going Concern

We have not yet achieved profitable operations and are dependent on our ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2011, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosure describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

Mineral Interests

Mineral interests associated with other than owned properties are classified as tangible assets. As of ~~July~~October 31, 2011, our company had capitalized $~~132~~143,~~500~~365 related to the mineral rights. The mineral rights will be amortized using the units-of-production method when production at each project commences.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Management has adopted ASC 740 Foreign Currency Translation Matters. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Our company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or our company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.

Loss per Share

Our company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Our ~~company~~compoany has 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock and $~~529~~647,~~430~~461 of convertible debentures which can be converted to common stock. These shares have not been included in any weighted average computations since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Loss

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. At ~~July~~October 31, 2011 and 2010, our company’s only component of comprehensive loss was foreign currency translation adjustments. Accordingly, the balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss was charged to operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, our company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.

Mining Properties and Exploration Costs

Exploration costs are charged to operations in the year in which they are incurred. Costs of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized until such time commencement of production commences or a determination that such property is not commercially viable.

23 26

Mining properties are, upon commencement of production, amortized over the estimated life of the ore body to which they relate or are written off if the property is abandoned or if there is considered to be a permanent impairment in value.

Investments in mining properties over which the company has significant influence but not joint control are accounted for using the equity method.

Site Restoration and Post Closure Costs

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

Our company follows ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Changes in accounting principle are reported through retrospective application of the new accounting principle to all prior periods. Errors in the financial statements of a prior period discovered subsequent to their issuance shall be reported as a prior-period adjustment by restating the prior period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and chief financial officer (also our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As the end of the quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president and chief financial officer (also our principal executive officer, principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president and chief financial officer (also our principal executive officer, principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our reports as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~July~~October 31, 2011 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements". Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".

Our common shares are considered speculative during the development of our new business operations. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.

Risks Associated With Our Business

All of our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resource on any of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.

Despite exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that any of them contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail.

A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.

We have a limited operating history and as a result there is no assurance we can operate on a profitable basis.

We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the exploration stage. Our company's operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of an exploration stage enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations of rock or land and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims and acquire new claims for new exploration or cease operations. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon us possessing capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations. No assurance can be given that we may be able to operate on a profitable basis.

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail and our investors could lose their investment.

We had cash in the amount of $146,~~492~~488 and a working capital deficit of $12,~~338~~859,~~041~~455 as at our quarter ended ~~July~~October 31, 2011. We currently do ~~not~~ not generate revenues from our operations. Our business plan calls for ~~substantial~~ substantial investment and cost in connection with the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties currently under lease and option. Any direct acquisition of the claim under lease or option is subject to our ability to obtain the financing necessary for us to fund and carry out exploration programs on the properties. The requirements are substantial. We do not currently have any arrangements for additional financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. ~~Obtaining~~ Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including market prices for minerals, investor acceptance of our properties, and ~~investor~~ investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital and loans. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.

Because there is no assurance that we will generate revenues, we face a high risk of business failure.

We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this quarterly report and have never been profitable. We do not have an interest in any revenue generating properties. We were incorporated in September 2004 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and limited exploration activities. Prior to our being able to generate revenues, we will incur substantial operating and exploration expenditures without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to our quarter ended ~~July~~October 31, 2011 was $1516,~~320~~842,~~160~~809. We have incurred losses for the quarter ended ~~July~~October 31, 2011 of $~~370~~519,~~986~~953. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our activities, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. Based upon current plans, we also expect to incur significant operating losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in raising capital to fund these operating losses or generate revenues in the future. We can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail and our investors could lose their investment.

Because of the speculative nature of the exploration of natural resource properties, there is substantial risk that this business will fail.

There is no assurance that any of the claims we explore or acquire will contain commercially exploitable reserves of minerals. Exploration for natural resources is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. We may also become subject to significant liability for pollution, cave-ins or hazards, which we cannot insure or which we may elect not to insure.

Our foremost project is located in Colombia where mineral exploration activities may be affected in varying degrees by political and government regulations which could have a negative impact on our ability to continue our operations.

Certain projects in which we have interests are located in Colombia. Mineral exploration activities in Colombia may be affected in varying degrees by political instabilities and government regulations relating to the mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriations of property, environmental legislation and mine safety. The status of Colombia as a developing country may make it more difficult for us to obtain any required financing for our projects. The effect of all these factors cannot be accurately predicted. Notwithstanding the progress achieved in restructuring Colombia political institutions and revitalizing its economy, the present administration, or any successor government, may not be able to sustain the progress achieved. While the Colombian economy has experienced growth in recent years, such growth may not continue in the future at similar rates or at all. If the economy of Colombia fails to continue its growth or suffers a recession, we may not be able to continue our operations in that country. We do not carry political risk insurance.

If we cannot compete successfully for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees, our exploration program may suffer.

Our competition in the mining industry includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional financing on terms we consider acceptable. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration program may be slowed down or suspended.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan.

Our success is also largely dependent on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel. This is particularly true in highly technical businesses such as mineral exploration. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to attract the personnel we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Failure to hire key personnel when needed, or on acceptable terms, would have a significant negative effect on our business.

Inability of our officers and directors to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business may limit our company's success.

Presently some of our officers and directors allocate only a portion of their time to the operation of our business. If the business requires more time for operations than anticipated or the business develops faster than anticipated, the officers and directors may not be able to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business to ensure that it continues as a going concern. Even if this lack of sufficient time of our management is not fatal to our existence, it may result in limited growth and success of the business.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

The exploration of valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Our independent certified public accounting firm, in their Notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2011 states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Our independent certified public accounting firm state in their notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2011, that we have experienced significant losses since inception. Failure to arrange adequate financing on acceptable terms and to achieve profitability would have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and prospects, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

We are subject to various government regulations and environmental concerns.

We are subject to various government and environmental regulations. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of exploration, mining operations and reclamation. We cannot predict the extent to which future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions, and delays in the development of our U.S. or Colombian properties, including those with respect to unpatented mining claims.

Our activities are not only subject to extensive federal, state and local regulations controlling the exploration and mining of mineral properties, but also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment. Future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the development of our properties, the extent of which cannot be predicted. Also, as discussed above, permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. In the context of environmental permitting, including the approval of reclamation plans, we must comply with known standards, existing laws and regulations that may entail greater or lesser costs and delays, depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and how stringently the regulations are implemented by the permitting authority. We are not presently aware of any specific material environmental constraint affecting our properties that would preclude the economic development or operation of any specific property.

If we become more active on our properties, it is reasonable to expect that compliance with environmental regulations will increase our costs. Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of the our proposed operations; costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water treatment and protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact on wildlife, and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable regulations. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with exploration, development, or mining operations on any of our mineral properties.

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock

Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Other Risks

Because some of our officers and directors are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, you may have no effective recourse against the non U.S. officers and directors for misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgment and civil liabilities against our officers, directors, experts and agents.

Some of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, specifically Canada and Colombia, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
