Reports to security holders

We are not currently required to deliver an annual report to our security holders and do not expect to do so for the foreseeable future.

We are a reporting company and file Forms 10-Q quarterly reports and Forms 10-K annual reports with the SEC. We also file other reports including reports on Form 8-K, proxy and information statements and other information regarding the Company. The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 and/or obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, we are an electronic filer and as such, all items filed by us are available through an Internet site maintained by the SEC which contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which site is available at http://www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors should be considered in connection with an evaluation of the business of our business:

In addition to other information in this current report, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business because such factors may have a significant impact on our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition. As a result of the risk factors set forth below, actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently consider to be immaterial, may also impact our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition. If any such risks occur, our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition could be materially affected in an adverse manner. Under such circumstances, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Associated With Mining

Mineral exploration and development activities are speculative in nature

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by our company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting

Table of Contents

regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.

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 at 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.

Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail.

Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.

Table of Contents

We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

If we establish the existence of a mineral resource on any of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our business could fail.

If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.

Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.

Mineral exploration, development and production involves many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company.

Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.

We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of precious and base metals such as gold, silver and copper. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of precious and base metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.

Table of Contents

The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to reduce or cease operations.

The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce.

In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.

Risks Related To Our Company

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects.

We have been in the business of exploring mineral resource properties since July 15, 2005 and we have not yet located any mineral reserve. As a result, we have never had any revenues from our operations. In addition, our operating history has been restricted to the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties and this does not provide a meaningful basis for an evaluation of our prospects if we ever determine that we have a mineral reserve and commence the construction and operation of a mine. We have no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether our mineral properties contain any mineral reserve or, if they do that we will be able to build or operate a mine successfully. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating costs without realizing any revenues during the period when we are exploring our properties. We therefore expect to continue to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from mining operations and any dispositions of our properties, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. At this early stage of our operation, we also expect to face the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at the start up stage of their business development. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

Table of Contents

Our activities will be subject to environmental and other industry regulations which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition

Our company's activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our company.

The operations of our company include exploration and development activities and commencement of production on our properties, which requires permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

The fact that we have not earned any operating revenues since our incorporation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue to explore our mineral properties as a going concern.

We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on one or more of our mineral properties and we build and operate a mine. At May 31, 2011, we had cash in the amount of $54,382 and net working capital of $56,566. We incurred a net loss of $(774,720) for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2011 and a net loss of $(2,284,328) since inception on July 15, 2005. We may have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral properties, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity securities and shareholder loans, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral properties, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail.

Table of Contents

These circumstances have lead our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report included in this Form 10-K, to comment about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements and/or public offerings of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and potential classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event our company cannot continue in existence. We continue to experience net operating losses.

We currently rely on certain key individuals and the loss of one of these key individuals could have an adverse effect on the Company

Our success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of our management. These individuals are a significant factor in the our growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and advisory board could have a material adverse effect on our company. In particular, the success of our company is highly dependent upon the efforts of our President & CEO, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of our company. Additionally, we do not anticipate having key man insurance in place in respect of our directors and senior officers in the foreseeable future.

We require substantial funds merely to determine whether commercial precious metal deposits exist on our properties

Any potential development and production of our exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand our operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:

Costs of bringing each property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;

Availability and costs of financing;

Ongoing costs of production;

Market prices for the precious metals to be produced;

Environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and

Political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.

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 Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the Over-The-Counter 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 Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the Over-The-Counter 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.

Table of Contents

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’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.

Executive Offices

Our executive, administrative, and operating offices is located at Suite 12E, Eclipse, 156 Vincent West Auckland, New Zealand 1010. We are provided these premises by our CEO at no cost the Company. We believe these facilities are adequate for our current needs and that alternate facilities on similar terms would be readily available if needed.

Mineral Properties

Charlotte Project

The Charlotte Project (formerly named the Nantawa Project) is situated in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt, a 1,200 km long area extending from northern British Columbia, through the Yukon Territory and into southwest Alaska. The Tintina Gold Belt includes such world-class, multi-million ounce gold deposits as Pogo, Fort Knox, True North, and Donlin Creek. (A detailed description of the region and properties follows.)

Nantawa Modification Agreement

On October 12, 2010, Guinness signed the Nantawa Modification Agreement with Eagle Trail Properties Inc. (“ETPI”) in which Guinness received full vesting of a 49% interest in 175 full or fractional mineral claims/leases (now renamed the "Charlotte Project") located in the Mount Nansen area of the Whitehorse Mining District of the Yukon Territory, Canada (the “Mineral Claims”). The other 51% interest in the Mineral Claims was retained by ETPI. The Mineral Claims had been part of the Nantawa Agreement signed between the Company and ETPI on November 19, 2009 and amended February 4, 2010, under which the Company acquired the right to purchase the Mineral Claims and an additional set of 47 mineral claims/leases (the “Tawa Claims”) from ETPI for total consideration of US$1,005,668 (comprised of: US$943,868 cash, plus 60,000,000 restricted common shares of Guinness valued at US$0.00103 per share for a total share value of $61,800).

Cash payments under the Nantawa Agreement had been scheduled to be made in two equal installments of US$471,934, the first due by May 30, 2010 and the second due by February 28, 2011. The Company met its first payment, but projected it would not have the resources to fulfill the second payment by February 28, 2011 and the Board determined it was in the best interests of the Company to negotiate revised purchase terms from ETPI for the Mineral Claims.

To provide consideration to ETPI, the Company agreed to waive its rights under the Nantawa Agreement to the Tawa Claims, which had lapsed while in trust with ETPI.

In sum, the Nantawa Modification Agreement has resolved the Tawa Claims matter between the parties and has provided the Company an immediate vesting of a 49% interest in the Mineral Claims without the requirement to make further payments to ETPI.

A copy of the Nantawa Modification Agreement was filed as an Exhibit to a Form 8-K on October 12, 2010 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Ansell Agreement

Subject to the terms of the Ansell Agreement (incorporated herein by reference), Guinness, ETPI and the Additional Parties (collectively the “CSG Group”), have agreed to grant Ansell an option to acquire up to an 85% undivided interest in the 128 mineral claims which form the Charlotte Project based on Ansell providing financing and expertise for development of the project. Under the Ansell Agreement, ETPI will hold the Charlotte Project claims (the “Properties”) in trust for all parties during the term of the Ansell Agreement. Upon Ansell earning an interest in the Properties, the parties have agreed to form a joint venture to further explore and develop the Properties, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Ansell Agreement.

Ansell has received the required approval of the Canadian TSX Venture Exchange in connection with the Ansell Agreement and Ansell is now the Operator of the project and will bear all project expenditures.

The Ansell Agreement specifies the following primary three tiers for the exercise of the option by Ansell:

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

The Charlotte Project is located approximately 180 km northwest of Whitehorse and 60 km west of the Village of Carmacks in the Yukon Territory. This property is accessible from Whitehorse via the Klondike highway to the town of Carmacks and then via an all weather gravel road. Carmacks is 170 km north of Whitehorse. Whitehorse is connected to Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary by air service. The Charlotte Project is facilitated with an extensive network of gravel and dirt roads (Figure 1).

The Charlotte Project lies northwest of the maximum advance of the Wisconsin ice sheet, and, consequently, are not affected by the Pleistocene continental glaciations (Figure 2; Eaton and Archer, 1989). This resulted in deep weathering in the properties reaching to depths of over 70 m from the topographic surface (Denholm et al, 2000; Roder, 1996). In mineralized zones, sulphides are commonly altered into limonite and other oxides (Denholm et al, 2000; Melling, 1995; Roder, 1996). The topography in the two properties is hilly with rounded ridges and shallow valleys. Local elevation ranges from 1030 m to 1560 m (Melling, 1995; Rodger, 1996).

Permafrost is widespread in the area and varies according to the amount of vegetation and slope facing direction (Stroshein, 2007b). In the north-facing slopes, permafrost is frozen all year around and in the south-facing slopes permafrost thaw to a depth of 1-2 m in the summer (Eaton and Archer, 1989; Roder, 1996).

The average precipitation in the Charlotte Project is approximately 25 cm, most of which falls as rain in the summer months (Stroshein, 2007b). Snow fall is normally 30-40 cm deep in late winter. The average monthly temperature ranges from -25oC in January to 15oC in July (Stroshein, 2007b).

Table of Contents

The Charlotte Project is situated in the traditional Territory of the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation (Stroshein, 2007b). At the mine site, there is no infrastructure other than the mine plant and buildings. The village of Carmacks has been established since 1893 and has provided fuel for river steamboats, a roadhouse on the Whitehorse to Dawson stage run, and an area service center (Campbell, 1994). In the Village of Carmacks, there reside approximately 500 people. The village is also the main and administrative center of the Little Salmon Traditional Lands.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

The Company’s shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by this Section 15(g), the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and must have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, Section 15(g) may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell the Company’s securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.

Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and the secondary market; terms important to an understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a dealers "spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customer’s rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS’ DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains "forward-looking statements" relating to the registrant which represent the registrant's current expectations or beliefs including, statements concerning registrant’s operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statement contained in this annual report on Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, ability of registrant to continue its growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond the registrant's control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

We are a start-up, exploration stage company with a limited operating history. We intend to pursue exploration opportunities regarding mineral exploration projects as opportunities arise.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and we have expensed all development expenses related to the establishment of the company.

Project Funding

As reported in a Form 8-K filed May 3, 2011, Guinness' partner Ansell Capital Corp (TSXV: ACP) (‘Ansell’) successfully raised Cdn$5,582,000 (US$5,297,318) to fund exploration work at the Charlotte Project located in the Whitehorse Mining District of the Yukon Territory. This funding initiative fulfills a key term of the Ansell Agreement and provides sufficient capital for the first stage of development at the Charlotte Project.

Charlotte Project Assay Results

Assay results from the Charlotte Project 2011 and 2010 summer exploration programs have yielded promising data and are as follows:

2011 PROGRAM:

On September 6, 2011, Ansell Capital Corp. in its role as operator of the Charlotte Project, released the following drill results from the first nine holes of its Charlotte Project 2011 exploration program:

"Assays have been received for the first nine diamond drill holes, totalling 1492 metres, from the recently completed 20 hole drill program on the Flex Zone at the Charlotte property located in the prolific Tintina belt. Previous historical drilling by other operators in the general area returned encouraging results such as drill holes DDH-10-243, which contained an intersection of 28.9 metres averaging 5.06 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and DDH-10-248, which contained 8.60 metres averaging 5.00 g/t gold.

Drilling this year has intersected broad well-mineralized zones, enhancing the potential for a bulk mineable deposit to be hosted on the property.

Intersection widths reported are downhole widths. A minimum of 0.2 g/t Au was applied to calculate the average grade of each section, with no included internal waste.

It should be noted that no cutting of high grade samples has been applied. At this time, Ansell has insufficient data to apply a cutting factor that is statistically relevant to this property.

Incomplete silver assays have also been received. Once full silver results are delivered and reviewed, a further release will be made. At that time it is anticipated that a thorough geological analysis of these results will also be reported.

Chris M. Healey. P Geo, a director of Ansell, is the qualified person responsible for the technical information in this release."

2010 PROGRAM:

2010 Assays Set #1:

During its summer 2010 drill program at its Charlotte Project near Mt. Nansen in the Yukon Territory, Canada, core drilling was conducted to confirm prior drill intercepts and to expand on known gold and silver mineralization along strike and down dip. The Company completed a total of 1,451.68 metres in fourteen diamond drill holes in the Flex zone, one of five known mineralized zones on the property.

The drill holes were chosen specifically to test a 450m strike length of the Flex Zone at various depths. The holes tested gold and silver grades and thicknesses to confirm previously drilled holes (to view a map of the property, drill hole locations and other information, visit www.guinnessexploration.com).

New holes confirmed and previous holes as set out below:

The Flex Zone occurs as two sub-parallel anastamosing quartz-sulfide vein systems, known historically as the “Hanging Wall” and “Footwall” veins. Veins host strong gold and silver mineralization associated primarily with pyrite and lesser arsenopyrite, stibnite, galena and sphalerite. Veins often exhibit propylitic, phyillic, argillic and silicic alteration in broad alteration envelopes.

The Flex Zone is hosted in an assemblage of metamorphic rocks comprised dominantly of quartz-feldspar+/-chlorite gneiss which grades locally into quartzite. Dark green amphbolite gneiss, comprised of equal parts plagioclase and actinolite, is commonly intercalated with the quartz-feldspar gneiss. These older rocks are cut by narrow quartz-feldspar dykes and sills. The north end of the Flex Zone, in the vicinity of 10-240 and 241, is underlain by a quartz-feldspar porphyry stock at depth.

Guinness management is extremely pleased with these initial results. Consulting geologist John Hiner commented, “We are well pleased with the level of gold and silver values, and the values match well with previous results. Although these intersections are not true widths, we have confirmed the mineralized zones in all five holes, and have increased mineralized thicknesses in three of the five holes reported to date. These zones are substantially wider than has been reported previously, and we believe we have now demonstrated that there is an excellent opportunity to define a bulk-mineable deposit at this project.”

2010 Assays Set #2:

The Company reported on the final eight holes completed during its 2010 drill program at the Company’s Charlotte Project near Mt. Nansen in the Yukon Territory, Canada. As reported in the news release dated October 18, 2010, core drilling was conducted to confirm prior drill intercepts and to expand on known gold and silver mineralization along strike and downdip. The Company completed a total of 1,451.68 metres in fourteen diamond drill holes in the Flex zone, one of five known mineralized zones on the property.

Table of Contents

Core holes DDH-10-246 through DDH-10-253 were drilled as twins of previous holes or infills along strike. Holes 246 and 247 were planned to confirm previously encountered mineralization at the southeast end of the Flex Zone. The other holes were drilled to test for extensions of gold and silver mineralization downdip from known mineralization. The holes are described in more detail as follows:

DDH-10-246 was drilled to confirm the southeast extension of the Flex Zone. However due to poor hole conditions, the hole was abandoned before intersecting the target mineralized zone.

DDH-10-247 was a 35 metre step out to the northwest of the prior hole, and was planned as an infill hole on the Flex Zone. This hole also had to be abandoned due to poor ground conditions prior to reaching the mineralized zone.

DDH-10-248 was drilled from the same drill pad as hole DDH-10-240, which was a twin of hole 98-193. This hole was steepened to pierce the mineralized zone 75 metres downdip from the surface and 25 metres below hole 98-193.

DDH-10-249 was located to test a 25 metre downdip extension of mineralization encountered in historic hole 98-192.

DDH-10-250 was located at the same location as DDH-10-249, but steepened to test mineralization 75 metres downdip from the surface and 25 metres below hole 98-192.

DDH-10-251 was drilled at the same location as historic hole 98-195, but steepened to test the mineralization at 75 metres depth.

DDH-10-252 was drilled at the same site as historic hole 98-196, but steepened to test the mineralized zone at 75 metres depth.

DDH-10-253 was located 50 metres west of DDH-10-240 and DDH-10-248 to test gold and silver mineralization at 125 metres depth.

Gold and silver assays for the holes are tabulated below:

2010 Assays Set #3:

The Company reported on the assay results from trenching numerous mineralized zones at the Company’s Charlotte Project, Yukon Territory, Canada. Trenches were cut at the Huestis, Webber, Cabin, Orloff-King, Dickson, and GRW zones. Trench results confirm or extend known mineralization at the Huestis and Webber zones. Trenches at the Cabin, Orloff-King, and GRW zones have successfully delineated new zones of gold and silver mineralization that is open to depth and along strike. In particular, trenching at the GRW zone identified gold and silver in structural settings similar to the Flex zone (although of lower grade), which was drilled earlier in 2010 and additionally disclosed the presence of copper in intrusive rocks that were identified in the GRW trenches. Selected trench results are presented in the table below:

Table of Contents

Zone	Trench #	From	To	Width	Au (g/t)	Ag (g/t)
Orloff King	OK10-1	45.5	49.2	3.7	1.50	40.3
Orloff King	OK10-2	47.8	50.7	2.9	2.12	Na
Orloff King	OK10-5	11.4	12.1	0.7	7.05	34.7

Cabin	CAB10-1	40.1	43	2.9	1.353	15.7
Webber	WEB10-2	21.0	23.4	2.2	1.43	4.03

Virtually all of the trenches contained zones of anomalous gold and silver, ranging from 0.2 grams/tonne (‘g/t’) up to the level of results presented above. At Orloff King, Cabin, Webber, and GRW zones, the mineralized trends can be tracked from trench to trench. Work on trace element geochemistry continues, but early analysis suggests the presence of geochemical zonation that may be attributed to the presence of porphyry copper-gold mineralization in the vicinity of the GRW zone.

Trenching totalled 2,243 metres in 20 trenches. Of these, 16 trenches totalling 1,917 metres bottomed in bedrock while the remaining four trenches bottomed in permafrost and may be completed in following seasons. Ten trenches totalling 1,100 metres were cut on the Orloff-King Zone, of which 9 trenches totalling 1,052 metres reached bedrock. A total of five trenches, combined for 665 metres, were cut on the GRW zone and, of these, three bottomed in bedrock for a total of 466 metres completed to bedrock. The remaining five trenches were cut on the Webber, Huestis, and Cabin zones, and on geochemical anomalies scattered across the property. All but one of these five trenches reached bedrock for a total of 400 metres of trenching completed to bedrock. A total of 554 unique samples were collected from trenches and submitted for assay.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010 and the Exploration Stage Period of July 15, 2005 to May 31, 2011:

Our operating results for the years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010 and the Exploration Stage Period of July 15, 2005 to May 31, 2011 (the ‘Exploration Stage’) are summarized as follows:

	May 31, 2011			May 31, 2010			Exploration Stage
Revenue	$	-		$	-		$	-
Expenses (including interest expense)	$	1,246,654		$	1,393,308		$	2,756,262

Net Loss	$	(774,720	)	$	(1,396,663	)	$	(2,284,328	)

Revenues

We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the near future.

Expenses

Exploration Expenses

Exploration expenses were $850,347 and $177,415, respectively for the years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010. For the year ended May 31, 2011, exploration expenses included a non-cash charge of $50,265 related to the expensing of vested stock options. Exploration expenses for the Exploration Stage totaled $1,027,762. During the current year period, exploration expenses related to fees paid for geological consulting services and geological general contractor fees and expenditures. We do not expect to incur significant exploration expenses during the next twelve months.

Professional Fees

Profession fees were $301,952 and $136,206, respectively for the years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010. For the year ended May 31, 2011, professional fees included a non-cash charge of $169,473 related to the expensing of vested stock options. Professional fees for the Exploration Stage totaled $517,122. During the current year period, professional fees included fees paid to our CEO, Secretary and Treasurer, and were incurred for expenses for legal, auditor and accounting fees. In the next twelve months, we project professional fees will substantially decrease.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were $29,988 and $27,723, respectively for the years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010, respectively. During the Exploration Stage Period administrative expenses totaled $71,025. During the current period administrative fees were primarily composed of office expenses, bank charges and filing fees related to our SEC filings. We expect administrative fees to decrease moderately during the coming year.

Table of Contents

Investor Relations

Investor Relations expenses comprise costs for press releases, maintenance of the Company’s website and other investor information initiatives. During the years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010, these expenses totaled $64,367 and $46,296, respectively. For the Exploration Stage Period, Investor Relations expenses totaled $110,663. We anticipate Investor Relations expenses decrease substantially during the coming year.

Impairment Losses on Mineral Properties

There were no impairments losses recorded for the year ended May 31, 2011. During the year ended May 31, 2010, the Company formalized its debt to ETPI by signing a promissory note in the amount of $943,868 plus share payments. To account for this event, $1,005,668 was entered as a mineral property asset, with a corresponding accounts payable entry. Additionally, to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, pertaining to the classification of the mineral properties as assets, an impairment charge of $1,005,668 was entered against this asset based on the Company’s impairment analysis as of May 31, 2010.

On April 6, 2006 we purchased a uranium property in Saskatchewan, Canada and on July 17, 2008 determined not to proceed with this property and formally abandoned the project. This abandonment is recorded in our financial statements as an Asset Impairment and totaled $15,985 and is included in the total loss for the Exploration Stage Period of $1,021,653.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $(774,720) for the twelve months ended May 31, 2011 compared with a net loss of $(1,396,663) for the same period ended May 31, 2010. The net loss for the year ended May 31, 2011 included a non-cash gain of $471,934 related to the cancelation of the Note Payable owing to ETPI. The net loss for the Exploration Stage Period totaled $(2,284,328).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial position as at May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010 are as follows:

Net Working Capital

	As at May 31, 2011		As at May 31, 2010

Current Assets	$	57,501	$	1,164,953
Current Liabilities		935		559,261
Net Working Capital		56,566		605,692

Our net working capital decreased from 605,692 at May 31, 2010 to $56,566 at May 31, 2011 as a result of funds expended for our exploration program.

Cash Flows

	Year ended May 31, 2011			Year ended May 31, 2010

Net cash (used) by Operating Activities	$	(924,701	)	$	(489,192	)
Net cash (used) by Investing Activities		-			(471,934	)
Net cash provided by Financing Activities		-			1,913,715
Increase (Decrease) in Cash during the Year		(918,845	)		952,589
Cash, Beginning of Year		973,227			20,638
Cash, End of Year		54,382			973,227

Table of Contents

Since the date of our inception to May 31, 2011, we have raised $2,053,500 though private placements of our common shares. As of May 31, 2011 we had cash on hand of $54,382 and prepaid expenses of $3,119.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We currently do not have plans to purchase any significant equipment over the next twelve months.

Personnel Plan

We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period (although we may enter into employment or consulting agreements with our officers or directors). We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are 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 investors.

Material Events and Uncertainties

Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable early stage companies in mineral resource markets. The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of exploration, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We will pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Employees

As of May 31, 2011, we had two employees and used contracted services to perform geological work, legal services and our bookkeeping. Going forward, the Company will use consultants with specific skills to assist with various aspects of its project evaluation, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and property management.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in NOTE 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, the Company views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any 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 are material to investors.

Stockholders of Guinness Exploration, Inc. and Subsidiary

(An Exploration Stage Company)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Guinness Exploration, Inc. and Subsidiary (An Exploration Stage Company) (The Company) as of May 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2011, and for the period from July 15, 2005 (date of inception) to May 31, 2011. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial position of Guinness Exploration, Inc. and Subsidiary (An Exploration Stage Company) as of May 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2011, and the period from July 15, 2005 (date of inception) to May 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

Note 1 – Operations

Organization and Description of Business

Guinness Exploration, Inc. (“Guinness”, “We”, the “Registrant”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 15, 2005 and incorporated its subsidiary, Nantawa Resources Inc., in Yukon, Canada on November 6, 2009. Guinness Exploration Inc. trades on the OTC-BB under the symbol GNXP. Since inception the Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings. Since inception the Company has not been involved in any reclassification, consolidation, or merger arrangements. The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Guinness Exploration, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and our fiscal year end is May 31st.

Exploration Stage Activities

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company was formed for the purposes of acquiring exploration and development stage mineral properties. The Company began exploration operations during fiscal 2010 in Yukon, Canada.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding Guinness Exploration Inc.’s financial statements. The financial statements reflect the following significant accounting policies:

Exploration Stage Company

As an exploration stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Exploration Costs and Mineral Property Right Acquisitions

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities – Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. Capitalized costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Consolidation of Financial Statements

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Nantawa Resources Inc., on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, to include common stock equivalents.

At May 31, 2011, common stock equivalents outstanding included 2,500,000 common share purchase warrants. These warrants were issued as part of unit offerings of 1,875,000 units and 625,000 units (each with identical terms) which were completed on February 10, 2010 and May 10, 2010 respectively, which comprised a total of 2,500,000 Units priced at US$0.80 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of Guinness (each, a "Share"); and one common share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”) subject to adjustment for stock splits, or stock dividends. Each whole Warrant is non-transferable and entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Guinness (each, a “Warrant Share”), as presently constituted, for a period of twenty four months beginning February 10, 2010 or May 10, 2010 at a price per Warrant Share of US$2.00. These Units are being issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S”) and Guinness did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising regarding this Unit offering.

Diluted and basic loss per share are the same, as any inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of accounts payable, and other financial instruments reflected in the financial statements approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect in the years during which the differences are expected to reverse and upon the possible realization of net operating loss carry-forwards. Additionally, the Company has not recognized any amount for a tax position taken or expected to be taken on its tax return, or for any interest or penalties.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of un-depreciated balances through measurement of undiscounted operation cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses the cost of start-up activities, including organizational costs, as those costs are incurred.

Foreign Currency

The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. Adjustments to translate the Company’s Canadian dollar cash account to the United States dollar are recorded in other comprehensive income. Transactions denominated in other than the United States dollar are translated as follows with the related transaction gains and losses being recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

(i)

Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing as at the balance sheet date;

(ii)

Non-Monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and

(iii)

Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in starting a new business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain sufficient funds necessary for launching a new business venture.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Other

The Company consists of one reportable business segment.

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of May 31, 2011.

Note 3 – Going Concern

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had a net loss for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2011, of $(774,720). Additionally it has accumulated operating losses since its inception and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of investors and stockholders of the Company. As of May 31, 2011, we projected the Company would need additional cash resources to operate during the upcoming 12 months. The Company intends to attempt to acquire additional operating capital through private equity offerings to the public and existing investors to fund its business plan. However, there is no assurance that equity or debt offerings will be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Note 4 – Acquisition of Mineral Properties

Nantawa Agreement, as amended

(NOTE: During the year ended May 31, 2011, the Nantawa Agreement has been superseded by The Nantawa Modification Agreement and the corresponding Ansell Agreement (see Note 5). Data regarding the Nantawa Agreement are provided here for reference.)

On November 19, 2009, and as amended on February 4, 2010, the Company signed the Nantawa Agreement for purchase of a 65% ownership interest in two exploration properties in Yukon, Canada. The agreement also includes an option (the “Option”) for Guinness to increase its ownership in the properties by 35%. A copy of which agreement, and the February 4, 2010 Amendment (collectively the “Agreement”), was filed as an Exhibit to a Form 8-K filed April 9, 2010. The terms of the Nantawa Agreement specify Guinness’ wholly owned Yukon subsidiary Nantawa Resources Inc. will receive a 65% interest in the Nantawa properties in return for payment to Eagle Trail Properties Inc. (‘ETPI’) of $1,005,668 (comprised of: $943,868 cash, plus 60,000,000 restricted common shares of Guinness valued at US$0.00103 per share for a total share value of $61,800). These payments are to be made over a 12 month period in two equal installments of $471,934; plus immediate issuance to ETPI of the 60 million restricted common shares. Subsequently, Guinness was required to make a deposit of $951 to maintain the Option and then incur exploration expenditures of $1,895,735 million over a two year period to earn an additional 35% interest. ETPI will retain a 3% Net Smelter Royalty. To confirm the cash payments owed by us to ETPI, we provided ETPI with a Promissory Note (the “Note”), stating our indebtedness to ETPI in the amount of $943,868. This Promissory Note was filed as an Exhibit with a Current Report on Form 8-K on April 9, 2010. To account for this event, $1,005,668 was entered as a mineral property asset, with a corresponding note payable entry. As of May 31, 2010, the Company had insufficient geological evidence, and therefore performed an impairment analysis. Based on that analysis, the Company has recorded an impairment loss on the mineral property asset. On December 29, 2009, to fulfill payment terms of the Nantawa Agreement, the Company issued 60,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock valued at $0.00103 per share to ETPI and made payment of $951 to ETPI. On February 12, 2010, the Company paid ETPI $471,934.

Nantawa Modification Agreement

On October 12, 2010, the Company signed the Nantawa Modification Agreement with ETPI in which Guinness received full vesting of a 49% interest in 175 full or fractional mineral claims/leases located in the Mount Nansen area of the Whitehorse Mining District of the Yukon Territory, Canada (the “Mineral Claims”). The other 51% interest in the Mineral Claims was retained by ETPI. The Mineral Claims had been part of the Nantawa Agreement signed between the Company and ETPI on November 19, 2009 and amended February 4, 2010, under which the Company acquired the right to purchase the Mineral Claims and an additional set of 47 mineral claims/leases (the “Tawa Claims”) from ETPI for total consideration of US$1,005,668 (comprised of: US$943,868 cash, plus 60,000,000 restricted common shares of Guinness valued at US$0.00103 per share for a total share value of $61,800). A remaining cash payment of $471,934 under the Nantawa Agreement was due by February 28, 2011 and the Company projected it would not have the resources to fulfill the second payment by February 28, 2011 and the Board determined it was in the best interests of the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Company to negotiate revised purchase terms from ETPI for the Mineral Claims. To provide consideration to ETPI, the Company agreed to waive its rights under the Nantawa Agreement to the Tawa Claims, which had lapsed while in trust with ETPI. The Nantawa Modification Agreement had the net effect of resolving the Tawa Claims matter between Guinness and ETPI and has provided the Company an immediate vesting of a 49% interest in the Mineral Claims without the requirement to make further payments to ETPI.

Due to the elimination by ETPI on October 12, 2010 of the requirement for a payment by Guinness of $471,934 by November 30, 2010, these financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2011 include an entry to eliminate this liability. A corresponding cancelation of debt income of $471,934 has also been recorded. Per the terms of the Nantawa Modification Agreement, ETPI has also submitted to the Company, and the Company has cancelled, 5,000,000 of the 60,000,000 restricted common shares previously issued to ETPI as a property payment. This cancellation was recorded through a reduction in Paid in Capital of $5,000.

Note 5 – Ansell Agreement

On March 4, 2011, the Company executed an option agreement (the “Ansell Agreement”) with Ansell Capital Corp. (“Ansell”), ETPI and two individuals (the “Additional Parties”) which will provide funding for the Charlotte Project (formerly named the “Nantawa Project”) in the Mount Nansen area of the Whitehorse Mining Division, of the Yukon Territory, Canada.

Subject to the terms of the Ansell Agreement (incorporated herein by reference), Guinness, ETPI and the Additional Parties (collectively the “CSG Group”), agreed to grant Ansell an option to acquire up to an 85% undivided interest in the 128 mineral claims which form the Charlotte Project based on Ansell providing financing and expertise for development of the project. Under the Ansell Agreement, ETPI will hold the Charlotte Project claims (the “Properties”) in trust for all parties during the term of the Ansell Agreement. Upon Ansell earning an interest in the Properties, the parties have agreed to form a joint venture to further explore and develop the Properties, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Ansell Agreement. Ansell is now the Operator of the project and will bear all project expenditures going forward.

Note 6 – Note Payable

To confirm the cash payments owed by us to ETPI under the Nantawa Agreement, we provided ETPI with a Promissory Note, stating our indebtedness to ETPI in the amount of $943,868. To fulfill our first payment, on February 12, 2010 the Company paid to ETPI $471,934, which was prior to the first installment payment deadline of May 31, 2010. The second installment of $471,934 on the Note was waived by ETPI under that Nantawa Modification Agreement and no further property payments are owing to ETPI.

Note 7 – Impairments on Mineral Properties

On July 17, 2008, the Company determined it should abandon the mineral property asset which consisted of 100% ownership of a uranium mineral property staked as Saskatchewan Claim number S-108991. A related impairment loss of $15,985 is reflected in the attached statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2010.

As detailed in Note 4, on November 19, 2009, and as amended on February 4, 2010, the Company signed the Nantawa Agreement for purchase of a 65% ownership interest in two exploration properties in Yukon, Canada. To conform with generally accepted accounting principles, pertaining to the classification of the mineral properties as assets, an impairment charge of $1,005,668 was entered against this asset based on the Company’s impairment analysis as of May 31, 2010.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company is subject to federal income taxes in the US and Canada. The Company has had no net income and therefore has not paid nor has any income taxes owing in the US or Canada.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company's deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company's deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry-forwards. Net operating loss carry-forwards may be further limited by a change in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.

Due to the change of control of the Company during the year ended May 31, 2011, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, there may be limitations on the amount of Net Operating Loss carryforwards the Company will be able to use in the future. Some of the loss carryforwards may be unusable.

Income taxes at the statutory rate are reconciled to the Company’s actual income taxes as follows:

Income tax benefit at statutory rate resulting from net operating Loss carryforward	(35	%)
Deferred income tax valuation allowance	35	%
Actual tax rate	0	%

Note 9 – Common Stock

On February 7, 2006, the Company issued 39,000,000 shares of its common stock to its President for cash. This transaction was valued at a board approved value of $0.001 per share for total proceeds of $3,000.

During the fiscal year ending May 31, 2006, the Company issued 32,825,000 shares of its common stock in a private offering at $0.02 per share for total proceeds of $50,500.

On May 26, 2008, the Company declared a 12 for 1 stock dividend. The Record date and Payment date for this stock dividend were June 4, 2008 and June 6, 2008 respectively. The Company instructed its Transfer Agent to round up to one for any fractional interest which resulted in the calculation of the dividend. This dividend had the effect of increasing the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company from 5,525,000 shares to 71,825,000 shares. All references in these financial statements to stock issued and stock outstanding have been retroactively adjusted as if the stock dividend had taken place on July 15, 2005 (inception).

On November 30, 2009, the Company submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders a proposal to increase the authorized common shares limit of the Company from 75,000,000 to 500,000,000 and add authorization for issuance of up to 100,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.001, for which the Board of Directors may fix and determine the designations, rights, preferences or other variation to each class or series within each class of preferred shares. Shareholder approval for this change was received November 26, 2009 and a Definitive 14C was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on December 9, 2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On September 19, 2010, the Board approved option grants to Directors, Officers and staff totalling 4,450,000 Options for purchase of 4,450,000 common shares of the Company. These Options have terms of between 5 to 10 years; exercise prices ranging between $0.33 to $0.363 per share; and all vest in two equal parts on May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2012; or fully in the event of a takeover offer or sale of a significant body of assets of the Company. Total compensation expense for these options grants has been calculated as $439,476 based on a valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

On May 31, 2011, 2,225,000 options vested under the Plan. This was recorded in these financial statements as an addition of $50,265 to Exploration Expenses and $169,473 to Professional Fees for the year ended May 31, 2011, for a total 2011 options grant compensation expense of $219,738.

The fair value of the options granted were calculated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) a risk-free interest rate of 0.16% (based on the US 90-day T-Bill rate on grant date); (ii) a dividend yield of zero (which is the projected dividend payment of the Company for the foreseeable future): (iii) a volatility factor of 26% (based on the 12 month standard deviation of Guinness' daily stock closing price); specific exercise prices, which ranged between $0.33 to $0.363 (such prices having been fixed based on the closing stock price on grant date); and an expected life of the options of ten years (which is equal to the term of the options and is the current assumed employment or contracted services tenure of all grantees). The fair value method requires the cost of options to be expensed over the period in which they vest, which in the case of these first option grants is in two equal parts, being one-half on May 31, 2011 and one-half on May 31, 2012. The fair value compensation cost arrived from these calculations has been credited to Additional Paid-In Capital on the Balance Sheet. In the event that the Board determines that any current grantees should be eliminated from the options plan due to events such as resignation or termination, future compensation cost adjustments will be made to reflect decreases in compensation costs related to any such events.

Mr. Alastair Brown, who is President and CEO of the Company and who classifies as a ‘10% shareholder’ for regulatory purposes, has received a grant of 2,000,000 options to purchase 2,000,000 common shares of Guinness at a price of $0.363 per share, with vesting of 1,000,000 options on May 31, 2011 and 1,000,000 options on May 31, 2012.

At may 31, 2011, a total of 4,450,000 options to purchase 4,450,000 shares had been issued. These options were comprised of: 1,500,000 ‘Incentive Stock Options’ issued to employees; 950,000 ‘Non-Qualified Stock Options’ issued to non-employee contractors; and 2,000,000 to Alastair Brown, who is not eligible for ‘Incentive Option status’ because he is a 10% shareholder of the Company.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

We have had no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company's desired disclosure control objectives. In designing periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company's certifying officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in reaching that level of assurance.

At the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

As of May 31, 2011, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of

Table of Contents

the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the criteria established by COSO management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of May 31, 2011, as a result of the identification of the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Specifically, management identified the following control weaknesses:

(1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. The Company does not believe that this control weakness has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC's reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports;

(2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.

Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.

Remediation Plan

We have identified that additional staff will be required to properly segment the accounting duties of the Company. However, we do not currently have resources to fulfill this part of our plan and will be addressing this matter once sufficient resources are available.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, no material changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company has confidence in its revised regime of internal controls and procedures. Nevertheless, the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance and cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met, and no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Further, the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitation in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issuers and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
