The Company
Overview
We are a precious metal mineral acquisition, exploration and development company, formed in Nevada on January 30, 2007. At the
time of our incorporation, we were incorporated under the name C.E. Entertainment, Inc., and our original business plan was to engage in the sales and marketing of Ukrainian classical music. On May 19, 2009, we changed our name
to American Sierra Gold Corp. by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary, American Sierra Gold Corp., which was formed solely for the purpose of changing our name. In addition to the name change, we changed our intended business
purpose to that of precious metal mineral exploration, development and production. Further, effective May 19, 2009, we effected a 40 for 1 forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized
capital increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all share amounts referenced herein, will refer to
post-forward stock split share amounts.
Our primary business focus is to evaluate, acquire, explore and develop gold
properties in North America. We have begun work on one project that consists of six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of British Columbia, Canada that the Company recently acquired (the Adams Ridge Project). We are in the
exploration stage with respect to the Adams Ridge Project. Despite exploration work on the Adams Ridge Project, we have not established that there are any mineral reserves, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so.
Sources of Available Land for Mining and Exploration
There are at least five sources of land available for exploration, development and mining: public lands, private fee lands, unpatented mining claims, patented mining claims, and tribal lands. The
primary sources for acquisition of these lands are the United States government, through the Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service, state and Canadian Provincial governments, tribal governments, and individuals or entities
who currently hold title to or lease government and private lands.
3
Government Regulation and Mining Claims
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in the
United States and in Canada, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
To obtain a Free Miners Certificate, which is required to hold a mining claim in British Columbia, Section 8(1) of
the B.C. Mineral Tenure Act (MTA) stipulates that a corporation must be registered under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. Section 8(2) of the MTA stipulates that an individual applicant must either be a resident of Canada or be
authorized to work in Canada. As the Company is not registered in British Columbia, the claims are held in trust for the Company by Carl Von Einsiedel, trustee of the BC Land Trust. The mineral title claims have been registered with the Government
of British Columbia.
We are committed to complying with and are, to our knowledge, in compliance with, all governmental and
environmental regulations applicable to the Company and its mineral rights. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation both in the United States and Canada. We cannot predict the
extent to which these requirements will affect the Company or its properties if we identify the existence of minerals in commercially exploitable quantities. In addition, future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital
expenditure, restrictions and delays in the exploration of our properties. Since we are still in the exploratory stage, we do not have enough information to know which permits will be required, the specific timeframe for obtaining them, or the cost
of the permitting and bonding process.
In the United States, the Federal government owns public lands that are administered
by the Bureau of Land Management or the United States Forest Service. Ownership of the subsurface mineral estate can be acquired by staking a twenty (20) acre mining claim granted under the General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (the
General Mining Law). The Federal government still owns the surface estate even though the subsurface can be controlled with a right to extract through claim staking. As we do not currently own mineral rights on U.S. public lands,
our operations are not presently subject to administration by the Bureau of Land Management or the United States Forest Service. If we acquire mineral rights located on U.S. public lands in the future, we would then become subject to such
administration since the Bureau of Land Management owns and controls the surface estate on U.S. public lands.
Private fee
lands are lands that are controlled by fee-simple title by private individuals or corporations. These lands can be controlled for mining and exploration activities by either leasing or purchasing the surface and subsurface rights from the
private owner. Unpatented mining claims located on public land owned by another entity can be controlled by leasing or purchasing the claims outright from the owners. Patented mining claims are claims that were staked under the General
Mining Law, and through application and approval the owners were granted full private ownership of the surface and subsurface estate by the Federal government. These lands can be acquired for exploration and mining through lease or purchase
from the owners. Tribal lands are those lands that are under control by sovereign Native American tribes. Areas that show promise for exploration and mining can be leased or joint ventured with the tribe controlling the land. The Company
currently has no mining claims on private fee lands or public land controlled by another entity.
Competition And Mineral Prices
We are a mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the
acquisition of new mineral properties. Given the continual increase in the value of gold, the business of acquiring, developing and/or exploring gold properties is more competitive than ever before. Our competitors include companies with larger
staffs, greater resources and equipment and, as such, those companies may be in a better position to compete for mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to
prospective investors who may finance additional exploration. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and, if we find mineral reserves, to achieve the financing necessary for us to extract the minerals.
In order to compete with such companies, we need to raise additional capital. The competitive nature of the business and the risks we
are therefore faced with are discussed further in the item entitled Risk Factors, below.
Capital Equipment and R&D
Expenditures
We are not currently conducting any research and development activities other than those relating to the
possible acquisition of new gold and/or silver properties or projects. As we proceed with our exploration programs, we may need to engage additional contractors and consider the possibility of adding permanent employees, as well as the possible
purchase or lease of equipment.
Mining Properties And Projects
As discussed above, we currently have a 100% interest in six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of British Columbia, Canada. We are in
the exploration stage with respect to the Adams Ridge Project. Despite exploration work on the Adams Ridge Project, we have not established that there are any mineral reserves, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so.
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 Commissions 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.
As the Company is not registered in British Columbia, its
claims are held in trust for the Company by Carl Von Einsiedel, trustee of the BC Land Trust. The mineral title claims have been registered with the Government of British Columbia.
Employees
As of October 29, 2010, we had no employees other than our
sole director and executive officer. We engage contractors from time to time to consult with us on specific corporate affairs or to perform specific tasks in connection with our acquisition and exploration activities.
Patents/Trade Marks/Licenses/Franchises/Concessions/Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts
We do not currently own any patents or trademarks. Also, we are not a party to any license or franchise agreements, concessions,
royalty agreements or labor contracts arising from any patents or trademarks.

The risks
described below are the ones we believe are most important for you to consider. 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. If events anticipated
by any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results or financial condition could suffer and the price of our common stock could decline.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS
We Have A Limited Operating History
With Significant Losses And Expect Losses To Continue For The Foreseeable Future.
We have yet to establish any history of
profitable operations. We have incurred net losses of $5,345,850 and $42,980 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As a result, at July 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,456,980 and a total
stockholders deficiency of $304,538. Our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. We expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our profitability
will require the successful commercialization of our mining properties. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our mines or ever become profitable.
There Is Doubt About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern Due To Recurring Losses From Operations, Accumulated Deficit And Insufficient Cash Resources To Meet Our Business Objectives, All Of
Which Means That We May Not Be Able To Continue Operations.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial
statements for the year ended July 31, 2010, we have generated operating losses since inception, and our cash resources are insufficient to meet our planned business objectives, which together raises doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern.
We May Not Be Able To Secure Additional Financing To Meet Our Future Capital Needs Due To Changes In General Economic
Conditions.
We anticipate needing significant capital to conduct further exploration and, if mineral reserves are found,
development needed to bring our Adams Ridge Project into production and/or to continue to seek out appropriate joint venture partners or buyers for certain mining properties. We may use capital more rapidly than currently anticipated and incur
higher operating expenses than currently expected, and we may be required to depend on external financing to satisfy our operating and capital needs. We may need new or additional financing in the future to conduct our operations or expand our
business. Any sustained weakness in the general economic conditions and/or financial markets in the United States or globally could adversely affect our ability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all. From time to time we have
relied, and may also rely in the future, on access to financial markets as a source of liquidity to satisfy working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. We may be unable to secure debt or equity financing on terms acceptable
to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. If we do raise funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced, and the securities that we issue may
have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock or may be issued at a discount to the market price of our common stock which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we raise additional
funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to debt covenants, which could place limitations on our operations including our ability to declare and pay dividends. Our inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis would make it difficult
for us to achieve our business objectives and would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
5
Our Business And Operating Results Could Be Harmed If We Fail To Manage Our Growth Or Change.
Our business may experience periods of rapid change and/or growth that could place significant demands on our personnel
and financial resources. To manage possible growth and change, we must continue to try to locate skilled geologists, mappers, drillers, engineers, technical personnel and adequate funds in a timely manner.
We May Not Have Access To The Supplies And Materials Needed For Exploration, Which Could Cause Delays Or Suspension Of Our Operations.
Competitive demands for contractors and unforeseen shortages of supplies and/or equipment could result in the disruption of planned
exploration activities. Current demand for exploration drilling services, equipment and supplies is robust and could result in suitable equipment and skilled manpower being unavailable at scheduled times in our exploration
programs. Furthermore, fuel prices are rising. We will attempt to locate suitable equipment, materials, manpower and fuel if sufficient funds are available. If we cannot find the equipment and supplies needed for our various
exploration programs, we may have to suspend some or all of them until equipment, supplies, funds and/or skilled manpower can be obtained.
An Unsuccessful Material Strategic Transaction Or Relationship Could Result In Operating Difficulties And Other Harmful Consequences To Our Business.
We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, a wide array of potential strategic transactions and relationships with third
parties. From time to time, we may engage in discussions regarding potential acquisitions or joint ventures. Subsequent to year ended July 31, 2010, the Company abandoned its mineral property interests and joint venture project with
Trinity Alps Resources, Inc. Any of these transactions could be material to our financial condition and results of operations, and the failure of any of these material relationships and transactions may have a negative financial impact on our
business and our results of operations.
Attraction And Retention Of Qualified Personnel Is Necessary To Implement And Conduct Our Mineral
Exploration Programs.
Our future success will depend largely upon the continued services of our Board member and executive officer and
other key personnel. Our success will also depend on our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel with mining experience. Key personnel represent a significant asset for us, and the competition for qualified personnel
is intense in the mineral exploration industry.
We may have particular difficulty attracting and retaining key personnel in the initial
phases of our exploration programs. We do not have key-person life insurance coverage on any of our personnel. The loss of one or more of our key people or our inability to attract, retain and motivate other qualified personnel could negatively
impact our ability to complete our exploration programs.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDUSTRY
Environmental Controls Could Curtail Or Delay Exploration And, If Mineral Reserves are Found, Development Of Our Mines And Impose Significant Costs On
Us.
We are required to comply with numerous environmental laws and regulations imposed and enforced by foreign, federal,
provincial, state and local authorities. At the federal level, legislation such as the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act and the
National Environmental Policy Act impose effluent and waste standards, performance standards, air quality and emissions standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of mining and mineral processing, including gold
and silver mining and processing. In addition, insurance companies are now requiring additional cash collateral from mining companies in order for the insurance companies to issue a surety bond. This addition of cash collateral for a bond
could have a significant impact on our ability to bring properties into production.
6
Many states have also adopted regulations that establish design, operation, monitoring, and
closing requirements for mining operations. Under these regulations, mining companies are required to provide a reclamation plan and financial assurance to ensure that the reclamation plan is implemented upon completion of mining
operations. Additionally, Nevada and other states require mining operations to obtain and comply with environmental permits, including permits regarding air emissions and the protection of surface water and groundwater. Although we believe
that the mining properties we currently have an interest in are in compliance with applicable federal and state environmental laws, changes in those laws and regulations may necessitate significant capital outlays or delays, may materially and
adversely affect the economics of a given property, or may cause material changes or delays in our intended exploration, and if we find mineral reserves, development and production activities. Any of these results could force us to curtail or
cease our business operations.
Proposed Legislation Affecting The Mining Industry Could Have An Adverse Effect On Us.
During the past several years, the United States Congress considered a number of proposed amendments to the General Mining Law of 1872,
which governs mining claims and related activities on federal lands. For example, a broad based bill to reform the General Mining Law of 1872, the Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act of 2007 (H.R. 2262) was introduced in the U.S. House of
Representatives on May 10, 2007, and was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on November 1, 2007, and was submitted to the U.S. Senate where no further action was taken. More recently, on January 27, 2009, the Hardrock
Mining and Reclamation Act of 2009 (H.R. 699) was introduced. If enacted, this act will have several negative impacts on us including but not limited to: requiring royalty payments of 8% of gross income from mining a claim on Federal land, or
4% of claims on Federal land that are subject to an existing permit; and prohibition of certain areas from being open to the location of mining claims, including wilderness study areas, areas of critical environmental concern and related
areas. Subcommittee hearings for the bill were held on July 14, 2009. Because this bill was introduced in a previous session of Congress and no vote was taken by either the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate, no more action
can occur on it.
The extent of any such changes to the General Mining Law of 1872 that may be enacted is not presently known,
and the potential impact on us as a result of future congressional action is difficult to predict. If enacted, proposed legislation could adversely affect the economics of developing and operating our mining properties, which may consist of
unpatented mining claims on federal lands. Our financial performance could therefore be materially and adversely affected by passage of all or pertinent parts of the proposed legislation, which could force us to curtail or cease our business
operations.
Development And Operation Of Mining Projects Involve Numerous Uncertainties.
Mine development projects typically require a number of years and significant expenditures during the development phase before production
is possible.
Mining development projects are subject to the completion of successful feasibility studies, issuance of
necessary governmental permits and receipt of adequate financing. The economic feasibility of development projects is based on many factors such as:
|
|
|
estimation of reserves;
|
|
|
|
anticipated metallurgical recoveries;
|
|
|
|
future gold and silver prices; and
|
|
|
|
anticipated capital and operating costs of such projects.
|
7
If mineral reserves are found, our mine development projects may have limited relevant
operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Estimates of proven and probable reserves and operating costs determined in feasibility studies are based on geologic and engineering analyses.
Any of the following events, among others, could affect the profitability or economic feasibility of a project:
|
|
|
unanticipated changes in grade and tonnage of material to be mined and processed;
|
|
|
|
unanticipated adverse geotechnical conditions;
|
|
|
|
incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made;
|
|
|
|
costs of constructing and operating a mine in a specific environment;
|
|
|
|
availability and cost of processing and refining facilities;
|
|
|
|
availability of economic sources of power;
|
|
|
|
adequacy of water supply;
|
|
|
|
adequate access to the site;
|
|
|
|
unanticipated transportation costs;
|
|
|
|
government regulations (including regulations relating to prices, royalties, duties, taxes, restrictions on production, quotas on exportation of
minerals, as well as the costs of protection of the environment and agricultural lands);
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in metal prices; and
|
|
|
|
accidents, labor actions and force majeure events.
|
Any of the above referenced events may necessitate significant capital outlays or delays, may materially and adversely affect the economics of a given property, or may cause material changes or delays in
our intended exploration, development and production activities. Any of these results could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
Mineral Exploration Is Highly Speculative, Involves Substantial Expenditures, And Is Frequently Non-Productive.
Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and exploration projects are frequently unsuccessful. Few prospects that are explored end up being ultimately developed into producing
mines. To the extent that we continue to be involved in mineral exploration, the long-term success of our operations will be related to the cost and success of our exploration programs. We cannot assure you that our mineral exploration
efforts will be successful. The risks associated with mineral exploration include:
|
|
|
The identification of potential economic mineralization based on superficial analysis;
|
|
|
|
the quality of our management and our geological and technical expertise; and
|
|
|
|
the capital available for exploration and development.
|
8
Substantial expenditures are required to determine if a project has economically mineable
mineralization. It may take several years to establish proven and probable reserves and to develop and construct mining and processing facilities. Because of these uncertainties, our current and future exploration programs may not result
in the discovery of reserves, the expansion of our existing reserves or the further development of our mines.
The Price Of Gold and Silver
are Highly Volatile And A Decrease In The Price Of Gold or Silver Would Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business.
The profitability of mining operations is directly related to the market prices of metals. The market prices of metals fluctuate
significantly and are affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the rate of inflation, the exchange rate of the dollar to other currencies, interest rates, and global economic and political
conditions. Price fluctuations of metals from the time development of a mine is undertaken to the time production can commence can significantly affect the profitability of a mine. Accordingly, we may begin to develop one or more of our
mining properties at a time when the price of metals makes such exploration economically feasible and, subsequently, incur losses because the price of metals decreases. Adverse fluctuations of the market prices of metals may force us to curtail
or cease our business operations.
Mining Risks And Insurance Could Have An Adverse Effect On Our Profitability.
Our operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for and developing mineral properties,
such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, environmental pollution, personal injuries, flooding, cave-ins, changes in technology or mining techniques, periodic interruptions because of inclement weather and industrial
accidents. Although maintenance of insurance to ameliorate some of these risks is part of our proposed exploration program associated with those mining properties we have an interest in, such insurance may not be available at economically
feasible rates or in the future be adequate to cover the risks and potential liabilities associated with exploring, owning and operating our properties. Either of these events could cause us to curtail or cease our business operations.
Due To The Uncertain Nature Of Exploration, There Is A Substantial Risk That We May Not Find Economically Exploitable Reserves Of Gold
And/Or Silver.
The search for valuable minerals is an extremely risky business. We do not know whether the claims and
properties that we have optioned contain commercially exploitable reserves of gold and/or silver. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the costs, difficulties, complications, problems and delays encountered in connection
with the exploration of mineral properties. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, additional costs and unanticipated delays and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
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 the property into a producing mine 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 Face Significant Competition In The
Mineral Exploration Industry.
We compete with other mining and exploration companies possessing greater financial
resources and technical facilities than we do in connection with the acquisition of exploration properties and leases on prospects and properties and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel. Such competition may
result in our being unable to acquire interests in economically viable gold and silver exploration properties or qualified personnel.
Our
Applications For Exploration Permits May Be Delayed Or May Be Denied In The Future.
Exploration activities usually require
the granting of permits from various governmental agencies. For exploration drilling on unpatented mineral claims, a drilling plan must be filed with the Bureau of Land Management or the United States Forest Service, which may then take several
months or more to grant the requested permit. Similar permits are required in Canada. Depending on the size, location and scope of the exploration program, additional permits may also be required before exploration activities can be
undertaken. Prehistoric or Indian grave yards, threatened or endangered species, archeological sites or the possibility thereof, difficult access, excessive dust and important nearby water resources may all result in the need for additional
permits before exploration activities can commence. With all permitting processes, there is the risk that unexpected delays and excessive costs may be experienced in obtaining required permits or the refusal to grant required permits may not be
granted at all, all of which may cause delays and unanticipated costs in conducting planned exploration activities. Any such delays or unexpected costs in the permitting process could result in serious adverse consequences to the price of our
stock and to the value of your investment.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK
The Market Price Of Our Common Stock Is Highly Volatile, Which Could Hinder Our Ability To Raise Additional Capital.
The market price of our common stock has been and is expected to continue to be highly volatile. Factors, including regulatory
matters, concerns about our financial condition, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to agreements, title to our properties or proprietary rights, may have a significant impact on the market price
of our stock. In addition, potential dilutive effects of future sales of shares of common stock by shareholders and by us, and subsequent sale of common stock by the holders of warrants and options could have an adverse effect on the price of
our securities, which could hinder our ability to raise additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans.
Penny Stock Regulations Affect Our Stock Price, Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Stock.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by
the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price per share of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, provided that current price and
volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). 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 that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also 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 customers account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that
prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, and investors may find
it more difficult to sell their securities.

forward-looking statements contained in this Report will in fact occur as projected.
Overview
We are a precious metal mineral acquisition, exploration and development company, formed in Nevada on January 30, 2007. At the
time of our incorporation, we were incorporated under the name C.E. Entertainment, Inc., and our original business plan was to engage in the sales and marketing of Ukrainian classical music. On May 19, 2009, we changed our name
to American Sierra Gold Corp. by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary, American Sierra Gold Corp., which was formed solely for the purpose of changing our name. In addition to the name change, we changed our intended business
purpose to that of precious metal mineral exploration, development and production. Further, effective May 19, 2009, we effected a 40 for 1 forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized
capital increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all share amounts referenced herein, will refer to
post-forward stock split share amounts.
Our primary business focus is to acquire, explore and develop gold properties in
North America. Currently, we are developing one project. The Company has recently acquired six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of British Columbia (the Adams Ridge Project).
We are in the exploration stage with limited operating history and no revenues from our business activities.
For additional information on our business, please see Part 1, Item 1 Business Overview of this Annual Report.
The following is a discussion and analysis of our plan of operation for the year ended July 31, 2010, and the factors
that could affect our future financial condition and plan of operation.
12
Going Concern Consideration
Concerns have been raised by our accountants about our ability to continue as a going concern.
While no steps have been taken by the Company, due to the doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, the Company may in the future explore new business opportunities that the Company believes
would be beneficial to its stockholders. Historically, we have been able to raise a limited amount of capital through private placements of our equity stock, but we are uncertain about our continued ability to raise funds privately. If we are
unable to secure adequate capital to continue our acquisition and exploration efforts, our business may fail and our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.
Results of Operations
Year Ended July 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended
July 31, 2009
We had a net loss of $5,345,580 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, compared to a net
loss of $42,980 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, an increase in net loss of $426,707. We have generated no revenues since January 30, 2007, our inception. Our operating costs have been paid for with funds raised through equity
and debt financings. Our net cash flow from financing activities since our inception was $1,654,301 as of July 31, 2010.
The significant increase in net loss is attributable to our shift away from a web-based business to a mineral acquisition and exploration
business beginning in the latter part of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. As a result, we spent more during fiscal year ended July 31, 2010 than July 31, 2009. The increase in our operating costs in the year ended July 31,
2010 as compared to the year ended July 31, 2009 was due to an increase in consulting fees of $130,000, insurance expenses of $18,388, legal fees of $147,090 and accountant fees of $16,264 as we began implementing our new business plan. In
addition, we wrote-off several mineral properties in connection with terminating the Joint Venture Agreement we entered into with Trinity Alps Resources, Inc. in the year ended July 31, 2010, totaling $4,851,271. This was in contrast to a much
smaller write-off of web site software costs in the year ended July 31, 2009 of $2,267.
13
Impact of Inflation
Since our inception in 2007, inflation has not had a material effect on our revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of July 31, 2010, reflects total assets of $55,728, as compared with total assets of $388,093 as of July 31, 2009. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to writing
off mining claims valued at $350,000 during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, as well as prepaid expenses of $29,829 at July 31, 2010, as compared with no prepaid expenses at July 31, 2009. With low cash reserves, $15,326 at
July 31, 2010, and a working capital deficit, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.
Our net cash flows from financing activities during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010 were $1,172,531. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to meet our obligations, we may require up to
an additional $250,000 of investor capital during the calendar year 2011. We anticipate continuing to generate losses and, therefore, may be unable to sustain operations in the future. If we require additional capital, we would have to issue debt or
equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. If equity financing is used, our stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interests in the Company.

On October 1, 2009, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for office space with an
unrelated third party. The quarterly lease rate was $319. Rent expense for the year ended July 31, 2010, was $1,317. The Company terminated this lease commitment in May 2010.
Shortly thereafter, the Company made arrangements to use space occupied by Mr. James Vandeberg, Director and officer of the Company.
The Company pays $500 per month for use of this space as its principal corporate offices. The Company plans to use space provided by Mr. Vandeberg until it is no longer suitable for its operations or circumstances demand otherwise.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosure regarding recent accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 11 to our Notes to Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
Operating Activities
Negative net cash flows from operating activities for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010 was $476,127, an increase of $443,615 as compared to negative net cash flows from operating activities of
$32,512 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. This increase in negative net cash flows was primarily due to a net loss from operating activities of $5,345,850 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, as compared to a net loss from
operating activities of $42,980 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. The increase in negative net cash flows was somewhat offset by the loss on the write off of mineral properties totaling $4,851,271 arising from the termination of the Joint
Venture Agreement we entered into with Trinity Alps Resources, Inc. in the year ended July 31, 2010.
Investing Activities
The primary driver of cash used in investing activities was capital spending in the acquisition of a mineral
properties during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, namely the Urique Property and the Adams Ridge Property as discussed in more detail in Note 10 to the financial statements, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
Cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010 was $708,598, which was an increase of
$348,025 from $360,573 of cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. This increase in the cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of the Urique Property and Adams Ridge
Property mineral rights.
14
Mineral Property
Urique Project
On April 30, 2009, the Company entered into a property
option agreement (the Option Agreement) with Yale Resources Ltd., a Canadian public company (Yale), which held a 100 percent interest in ten (10) mining concessions covering approximately 28,830 hectares in southwest
Chihuahua State, Mexico (the Urique Project). Yale also held options to acquire an additional six (6) mining concessions covering approximately 276 hectares in the same area (the total of the mining concessions known as the
Yale Property).
Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company was granted two (2) exclusive and
separate option rights to acquire undivided legal and beneficial interests of up to 100 percent in the Yale Property free and clear of all liens, charges, and claims of others. During the year-ended July 31, 2010, the Company abandoned its
rights options to acquire the Yale Property. The Company paid Yale $300,000 in April 2009 in connection with the Option Agreement. All costs related to the acquisition of the Property were written off by the Company in the fiscal year ended
July 31, 2010.
Trinity Alps Joint Venture Agreement
On October 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the JV Agreement) with Trinity Alps Resources,
Inc. (Trinity Alps), whereby the Company agreed to contribute up to a total of $2,000,000 over a period of two years in order to obtain a 75 percent ownership interest in the entities owning and operating certain mineral claims and
property for the production of gold covering approximately 950 acres in Northern California. The Company paid to Trinity Alps the aggregate sum of $125,000, in part, as a signing fee and, in part, for the exclusivity period to negotiate a definitive
agreement pursuant to the parties non-binding letter of intent, which funds would have gone toward the ultimate $2,000,000 to be contributed by the Company to obtain its 75 percent interest. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, the Company
would contribute an additional $150,000 at closing and $150,000 within three months of closing (collectively, the First Semester Payment), as well as $300,000 within six months of closing (the Second Semester Payment). Both
the First Semester Payment and Second Semester Payment were to be included in the aggregate sum of $2,000,000 to be contributed by the Company no later than two years from closing, to obtain its 75 percent interest.
In furtherance of the JV Agreement, the parties formed two entities to hold and operate the mineral claims. The Company received an
immediate 7 percent ownership stake in each of such entities in exchange for its initial contributions, and thereafter, incrementally increased its ownership interest by 1 percent for each additional $40,000 contributed. The Company was to be capped
at a 40 percent ownership interest level in each entity until the full $2,000,000 was contributed and earmarked for expenditure with respect to the properties, at which point, the Companys ownership interest would have automatically increase
to 75 percent in each entity.
Further, and as an additional inducement for Trinity Alps to enter into the transaction, the
Company agreed, at closing, to issue to Trinity Alps 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.25 per share and with a term of five years.
Such shares and warrants were to be held in trust, and issued in increments of 500,000 shares and 500,000 warrants at certain intervals following the closing.
On December 8, 2009, the Company closed the JV Agreement with Trinity Alps. At closing, the Company (1) contributed $150,000 to an escrow account for the benefit of Trinity Alps, and
(2) issued 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares of the common stock to Trinity Alps.
This transaction has been accounted for using the equity method of accounting as the Company has been deemed to have significant influence over the operations of the Joint Venture. All equity
contributions will be offset by losses suffered by the Joint Venture.
During the year-end July 31, 2010, the Company
terminated the JV Agreement and has written off any the costs associated with the property and the JV Agreement, including the initial payments paid by the Company upon and shortly after closing. Neither party has any further rights or obligations
under the JV Agreement. As such, the Company does not have an ownership interest in the two entities that hold and operate the mineral claims and the warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock issued to Trinity Alps
have been canceled by the Company. As of July 31, 2011, Trinity Alps owned 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
Adams Ridge Project
In November 2010, the Company acquired a 100 percent
undivided interest in six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of British Columbia, Canada (Adams Ridge Claims) totaling approximately 2,479 hectares. The Adams Ridge Claims are held in trust for the Company by Carl Von Einsiedel,
trustee of the BC Land Trust, as required by the B.C. Mineral Tenure Act. The claims have been registered with the Government of British Columbia.
Financing Activities
Financing activities during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, provided $1,172,531 to us, an increase of $756,886 from the $415,645 provided by financing activities during the fiscal year ended
July 31, 2009.
On October 12, 2009, we entered into a Share Issuance Agreement with Tobermory Holding Ltd.
(Tobermory) wherein Tobermory has agreed to advance up to $6,000,000 to our Company until December 31, 2011. While we have arranged for advances of up to $6,000,000 from Tobermory, and while we have received advances of $300,000
from the date of the share issuance agreement to November 10, 2009, there can be no assurances that we will receive any further funds from Tobermory. For further discussion regarding the Tobermory financing arrangement see Note 10 to the
financial statements contained in this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form
10-K/A. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting. Managements assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance that the control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control systems
objectives will be met.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements
for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. It should be noted, however, that because of inherent limitations, any system of internal controls, however well-designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that financial reporting objectives will be met. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal Control Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the results of its assessment under that framework, management concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of July 31, 2010.
16
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered independent
auditor regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
that permit us to provide only our managements report in this Annual Report.
This report shall not be deemed to be
filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
Changes in Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal
quarter ended July 31, 2010, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There were no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.
Audit Committee
Our Board of Directors has not established a separate
audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Instead, our entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act. In addition, no director on our Board of Directors currently meets the definition of an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. We
are currently seeking candidates for outside directors and for a financial expert to serve on a separate audit committee when we establish one. Due to our small size, limited resources and capital constraints, it has been difficult to recruit
such outside directors and financial experts.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers and directors and persons who own more
than 10% of a registered class of our securities to file reports of change of ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all 16(a) forms they
file.
To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us for the period ended
July 31, 2009, certain Section 16(a) reports required to be filed by Mr. Gruden were not filed on a timely basis.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No director, executive officer, significant employee or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past five
(5) years.
Code of Ethics
Due to our recent change in business strategy and objectives and our small size and limited resources, we have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and
principal accounting officer, but intend to do so this year.
ITEM 11.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
|
Summary
Compensation
Our Board of Directors has not established a separate compensation committee. Instead, the entire Board
of Directors reviews and approves executive compensation policies and practices, reviews, salaries and bonuses for our officers, administers our benefit plans, and considers other matters as may, from time to time, be referred to it. We do not
currently have a Compensation Committee Charter. Our Board continues to emphasize the important link between our performance, which ultimately benefits all shareholders, and the compensation of our executives. Therefore, the primary goal of our
executive compensation policy is to closely align the interests of the shareholders with the interests of the executive officers. In order to achieve this goal, we attempt to (i) offer compensation opportunities that attract and retain
executives whose abilities and skills are critical to our long-term success and reward them for their efforts in ensuring our success and (ii) encourage executives to manage from the perspective of owners with an equity stake in the Company.
The following table sets forth information regarding all forms of compensation received by the named executive officers
during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2010, and July 31, 2009, respectively:

our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AMERICAN SIERRA GOLD CORP. (FORMERLY C.E. ENTERTAINMENT, INC.), a development
stage company, as of July 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, including the period from inception January 30, 2007 to July 31, 2010, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the companys significant operating losses, working capital deficiency and need for new capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AMERICAN SIERRA GOLD CORP.
(FORMERLY C.E. ENTERTAINMENT, INC.)
(An Exploration Stage Enterprise
)
Notes to Financial Statements
July 31, 2010
Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General Organization and Business
American Sierra Gold Corp. (American Sierra or the Company) is a Nevada corporation in the exploration stage. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
January 30, 2007. The original business plan of the Company was to engage in the marketing and sale of Ukrainian classical music. Effective May 19, 2009, the Company changed its name from C.E. Entertainment, Inc. to American Sierra Gold
Corp. by way of a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary American Sierra Gold Corp., which was formed solely for the purpose of a change in name. In addition, the Company changed its focus to a business plan involving the acquisition, exploration,
development, mining, and production of precious metals, with emphasis on gold and silver. The Company has not established the existence of a commercially minable deposit and therefore has not reached the development stage and is considered to be in
the exploration stage.
In November 2010, the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest in six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of
British Columbia, Canada (Adams Ridge Claims) totaling approximately 2,479 hectares. The Adams Ridge Claims are held in trust for the Company by Carl Von Einsiedel, trustee of the BC Land Trust, as required by the B.C. Mineral Tenure
Act. The claims have been registered with the Government of British Columbia. The Companys plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Adams Ridge Claims in order to assess whether the sites possess mineral deposits
of gold or other precious metals in commercial quantities, capable of commercial extraction. The Company has ceased exploration activities due to budgetary constraints and, therefore, has not established whether there are mineral reserves at the
Adams Ridge Claims sites, nor can there be any assurance that the Company will be able to commence exploration activities.
Basis of
Presentation
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the
respective periods.
The Companys accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable
to exploration stage enterprises. Changes in classification of 2010 amounts have been made to conform to current presentations.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with a maturity of less than
three months to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
The Company values its investment in property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets ranging from five to thirty-nine years.

Notes to Financial
Statements(Continued)
July 31, 2010
Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments
We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification regarding Disclosure About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The
carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor do we utilize derivative
instruments in the management of foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.
Federal income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for
income tax purposes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification regarding Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits 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, and for tax loss and credit carryforwards. 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. Deferred taxes are provided for the estimated future tax effects
attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is more likely than not.
Net income per share of common stock
We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification regarding Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on
the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the
accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We do not have a complex capital structure
requiring the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Internal Website Development Costs
Under FASB ASC350-50, Website Development Costs, costs and expenses incurred during the planning and operating stages of the Companys website are
expensed as incurred. Under ASC 350-50, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stages are capitalized by the Company and amortized to expense over the websites estimated useful life or period of benefit. As of
July 31, 2010, and 2009, the Company capitalized $10,573 related to its internal-use website development related to a new website as work in process. During 2009, the old website development costs and related accumulated amortization were
written-off to expense resulting in a loss on disposal in the amount of $2,267.
Mineral Properties
The Company is currently engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral claims, with an emphasis on gold and silver. Mineral claim and other
property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. Such costs are carried as an asset of the Company until it becomes apparent through exploration activities that the cost of such properties will not be realized through mining operations.
Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred, and when it becomes apparent that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven or probable reserve, the exploration costs, along with mine development cost,
are capitalized. The costs of acquiring mineral claims, capitalized exploration costs, and mine development costs are recognized for depletion and amortization purposes under the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable and
proven reserves. If mineral properties, exploration, or mine development activities are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs are charged to operations in the current period.

Notes to Financial
Statements(Continued)
July 31, 2010
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining lives at each balance sheet date. The Company records an impairment or change in useful life whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed.
At the beginning
of November 2010, the Company abandoned the Urique Project in Mexico and the Discovery Day Gold Project in California. Subsequent to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, the Company also abandoned its mineral property interests and Joint
Venture project with Trinity Alps Resources, Inc.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company defers as other assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged
against the capital raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is terminated.
Deferred Acquisition Costs
The Company defers as other assets the direct incremental costs
of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations
during the period in which the offering is terminated.
Common Stock Registration Expenses
The Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as
of a certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance transactions. As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative expenses, and are expensed as
incurred.
Note 2Uncertainty, Going Concern
At July 31, 2010, the Company was engaged in a business and had suffered losses from exploration stage activities to date. In
addition, the Company has minimal operating funds. While no steps have been taken by the Company, due to the doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, the Company may in the future explore new business opportunities that the Company
believes would be beneficial to its stockholders. Although the Company is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. Accordingly, the Company must rely on its officers to
perform essential functions with minimal compensation. No amounts have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for the value of officers services, as it is not considered material. These factors raise doubt about the ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3Change in Management
On September 10, 2010, Mr. Johannes Petersen resigned as a Director and Chief Financial officer of the Company.
Mr. Wayne Gruden continued to serve as a Director of the Company and became its sole officer.
On October 20, 2010, Mr. James
Vandeberg was appointed as a Director and sole officer of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Wayne Gruden resigned as a Director and sole officer of the Company.

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets for the fiscal years ended
July 31, 2010 and 2009, because it is not presently known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforwards.
As of July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had approximately $5,456,980, and $111,130, respectively, in tax loss carryforwards that can be utilized in future periods to reduce taxable income, and will
begin to expire in the year 2027.

Note 10Contracts and Agreements
Mineral Property Option Agreement
On April 30, 2009, the Company entered into a property option agreement (the Option Agreement) with Yale Resources Ltd., a Canadian public company (Yale), which held a 100
percent interest in ten (10) mining concessions covering approximately 28,830 hectares in southwest Chihuahua State, Mexico. Yale also held options to acquire an additional six (6) mining concessions covering approximately 276 hectares in
the same area (the total of the mining concessions known as the Yale Property).
Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement,
the Company was granted two (2) exclusive and separate option rights to acquire undivided legal and beneficial interests of up to 100 percent in the Yale Property free and clear of all liens, charges, and claims of others. During the year-ended
July 31, 2010, the Company abandoned its rights options to acquire the Yale Property. The Company paid Yale $300,000 in April 2009 in connection with the Option Agreement. All costs related to the acquisition of the Property were written off by
the Company in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010.
Share Issuance Agreement
On October 12, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Issuance Agreement (the Share Agreement) with Tobermory Holding Ltd., a corporation
organized under the laws of Nevis (Tobermory), whereby the Company has provided a subscription arrangement to Tobermory to advance funds and purchase up to $6,000,000 of units of the Companys securities, with an option to purchase
up to an additional $6,000,000 of units, until December 31, 2011. The completion date of December 31, 2011, may be extended for an additional 12 months at the discretion of either the Company or Tobermory.
Under the Share Agreement, each unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, and a warrant (the Purchase Warrant) to purchase
an additional share of common stock of the Company. The price of each unit is equal to 75 percent of the weighted average closing price of common stock of the Company, as quoted by NASDAQ, or other source agreed to by the parties, for the preceding
ten days prior to each subscription advance to purchase units. The purchase price under each Purchase Warrant to acquire one additional share of common stock shall be 175 percent of the unit price at which the unit containing the Purchase Warrant
being exercised was issued. As of July 31, 2010, Tobermory held 800,000 shares (pre-stock split) of common stock of the Company.
The
Company plans to use the proceeds under the Share Agreement for operating expenses, acquisitions, working capital, and general corporate activities.
Joint Venture Agreement
On October 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement (the JV Agreement) with Trinity Alps Resources, Inc. (Trinity Alps), whereby the Company agreed to contribute up to a total of $2,000,000 over a period of two years in order to obtain a 75 percent ownership interest
in the entities owning and operating certain mineral claims and property for the production of gold covering approximately 950 acres in Northern California. The Company paid to Trinity Alps the aggregate sum of $125,000, in part, as a signing fee
and, in part, for the exclusivity period to negotiate a definitive agreement pursuant to the parties non-binding letter of intent, which funds would have gone toward the ultimate $2,000,000 to be contributed by the Company to obtain its 75
percent interest. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, the Company would contribute an additional $150,000 at closing and $150,000 within three months of closing (collectively, the First Semester Payment), as well as $300,000 within six
months of closing (the Second Semester Payment). Both the First Semester Payment and Second Semester Payment were to be included in the aggregate sum of $2,000,000 to be contributed by the Company no later than two years from closing, to
obtain its 75 percent interest.

July 31, 2010
In furtherance of the JV Agreement, the parties formed two entities to hold and operate the mineral
claims. The Company received an immediate 7 percent ownership stake in each of such entities in exchange for its initial contributions, and thereafter, incrementally increased its ownership interest by 1 percent for each additional $40,000
contributed. The Company was to be capped at a 40 percent ownership interest level in each entity until the full $2,000,000 was contributed and earmarked for expenditure with respect to the properties, at which point, the Companys ownership
interest would have automatically increased to 75 percent in each entity.
Further, and as an additional inducement for Trinity Alps to enter
into the transaction, the Company agreed, at closing, to issue to Trinity Alps 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.25 per share and
with a term of five years. Such shares and warrants were to be held in trust, and issued in increments of 500,000 shares and 500,000 warrants at certain intervals following the closing.
On December 8, 2009, the Company closed the JV Agreement with Trinity Alps. At closing, the Company (1) contributed $150,000 to an escrow account for the benefit of Trinity Alps, and
(2) issued 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock to Trinity Alps.
This transaction has been accounted for using the equity method of accounting as the Company had been deemed to have significant influence over the operations of the Joint Venture. All equity
contributions will be offset by losses suffered by the Joint Venture.
During the year-end July 31, 2010, the Company terminated the JV
Agreement and wrote off the costs associated with the property and the JV Agreement, including the initial payments paid by the Company upon and shortly after closing. Neither party has any further rights or obligations under the JV Agreement. As
such, the Company does not have an ownership interest in the two entities that hold and operate the mineral claims and the warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock issued to Trinity Alps have been canceled by the
Company. As of July 31, 2011, Trinity Alps owned 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
Adams Ridge Claims
In November 2010, the Company acquired a 100 percent undivided interest in six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of British Columbia, Canada
(Adams Ridge Claims) totaling approximately 2,479 hectares. The Adams Ridge Claims are held in trust for the Company by Carl Von Einsiedel, trustee of the BC Land Trust, as required by the B.C. Mineral Tenure Act. The claims have been
registered with the Government of British Columbia.

On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, (FASB ASC 855) Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC 855) establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, Statement 165 (FASB ASC 855) provides:
1.
|
The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.
|
2.
|
The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements.
|
3.
|
The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.

In accordance with this Statement, an entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, (FASB ASC 860) Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB Statement No, 140. SFAS No. 166 (FASB ASC 860) is a revision to SFAS No. 140
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing
exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures.
This statement is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins
after November 15, 2009. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 167, (FASB ASC 810) Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). SFAS No. 167 (FASB ASC 810) amends certain requirements of FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be
consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most
significantly impact the entitys economic performance.
