PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

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 conducted a 40:1 forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock.  As a result, our authorized capital stock 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, refer to post-forward stock split share amounts.

Mining Properties and Projects

Our primary business plan is to evaluate, acquire, explore and develop gold properties in North America.  In November 2010, we acquired and began work on one project that consists of six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of British Columbia, Canada (the “ Adams Ridge Claims ”). We are in the exploration stage with respect to the Adams Ridge Claims. Despite preliminary exploration work on the Adams Ridge Claims, 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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 SEC'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.

To obtain a Free Miner's 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, our Adams Ridge 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. A copy of the trust agreement is included as Exhibit 10.6 in this Annual Report.

Sources of Available Mineral Resource Properties

There are at least five sources of mineral resource properties available for exploration, development and mining: (i) those on public lands; (ii) those on private fee lands; (iii) unpatented mining claims; (iv) patented mining claims; and (v) those on tribal lands.  The primary sources for acquisition of these claims 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 that currently hold title to or lease government and private lands.

 
2

 

Private fee lands are properties that are controlled by fee-simple title by private individuals or corporations.  These properties 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 properties 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.

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.

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.

As discussed above, in order to obtain a Free Miner's Certificate, as required British Columbia, Canada under Section 8(1) of the B.C. Mineral Tenure Act (MTA), our Adams Ridge Claims are held in trust for the Company by Carl Von Einsiedel, trustee of the BC Land Trust and 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 us and our 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 us or our properties if we identify the existence of minerals in commercially exploitable quantities. In addition, future legislation and regulation could cause additional operating and capital expenditures due to restrictions and delays in our exploration of our resource 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.

Competition and Mineral Prices

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 effectively compete with such companies, we need to raise a significant amount of additional capital.  The competitive nature of the operational and industry risks we face are discussed further in the item entitled “Risk Factors,” below.

R&D Expenditures and Intellectual Property

We are not currently conducting any research and development activities. 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.  
 
Employees

As of November 11, 2011, 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. If we locate mineral reserves in connection with our Adams Ridge Claims, we may need to engage additional contractors and consider the possibility of adding permanent employees.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

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 the risks presented below may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all such risk factors before investing in the Company. 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 not yet generated any revenues and have incurred material net losses for the past three fiscal years.  We do not expect to generate revenues that will sustain our operations for the foreseeable future.  Our profitability depends upon finding mineral reserves and our successful commercialization of those reserves. For further discussion regarding our financial operating results, see Item 7 below entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

There Are Doubts About Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern .

Due to recurring losses and no revenues from operations, accumulated debt and insufficient cash reserves and limited alternative sources of capital to implement our business, we may not be able to continue operating. We have generated net 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 When and as Needed .

We need significant capital to conduct exploration activities at our Adams Ridge Claims. If we obtain sufficient funding to conduct such exploration activities and if mineral reserves are found, we may not have sufficient capital available to extract the mineral reserves. Production of mineral reserves will require skilled geologists, mappers, drillers, engineers and other technical personnel, which will require adequate funding.

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.

 
4

 

Our Lack of Diversification Will Increase the Risk of an Investment in the Company, and Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations May Deteriorate If We Fail to Diversify.

Our business focus is on exploring for precious minerals reserves in a limited number of claims in British Columbia, Canada. Larger companies have the ability to manage their risk by diversification. However, we lack diversification, in terms of both the nature and geographic scope of our business. As a result, we will likely be impacted more acutely by factors affecting our industry or the regions in which we operate than we would if our business were more diversified, enhancing our risk profile. If we do not diversify our operations, our financial condition and results of operations could deteriorate.

We May Not Have Access to the Supplies and Materials Needed for Exploration, Which Could Cause Delays or Suspension of Our Operations .

If we are able to commence exploration activities, competitive demands for contractors and unforeseen shortages of supplies and/or equipment could result in the disruption of such 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. 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 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. 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 material negative financial impact on our business and our results of operations.
 
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.

 
5

 

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.

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.

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.

 
6

 

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.

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 exploration programs, if any, may not result in the discovery of reserves or, if found, the development of mines.

The Prices 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.

Insurance Costs 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 we have 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.

 
7

 

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop 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

Our Common Stock Is Quoted on the OTCBB, Which May Have an Unfavorable Impact on Our Stock Price and Liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”).  The OTCBB is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ system. The OTCBB market is an inter-dealer market much less regulated than the major exchanges and, therefore, our traded shares of common stock are subject to abuses, volatility and shorting. Thus, there is currently no broadly followed and established trading market for our common stock. An established trading market may never develop or be maintained. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. Absence of an active trading market reduces the liquidity of the shares traded there, which may make it difficult to sell your shares of our common stock within any particular time period, for an acceptable price, or at all. Our common stock is considered highly speculative and there is no certainty that our common stock will continue to be listed for trading on the OTCBB or on any other form of quotation system or stock exchange.

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 stockholders 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 customer’s 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 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 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.

The Existence of Indemnification Rights to Our Directors and Officers May Result in Substantial Expenditures by the Company and May Discourage Lawsuits Against Our Directors and Officers.

Our organizational documents contain provisions that limit the liability of our Directors for monetary damages and provide for indemnification of our executive officers and Directors. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our Directors and officers for breaches of fiduciary duty and may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our Directors and officers even though such action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the stockholders. In addition, a stockholder’s investment in the Company may be adversely affected to the extent that costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers or Directors are paid by the Company pursuant to the indemnification provisions in the Company’s governing documents. The impact on a stockholder’s investment in terms of the cost of defending a lawsuit may deter the stockholder from bringing suit against one of our officers or directors.  We have been advised that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) takes the position that these provisions do not affect the liability of any officer or director under applicable federal and state securities laws.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

Business Offices

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 paid $500 per month for use of this space as its principal corporate offices from January 1, 2011 to July 31, 2011. Since then Mr. Vandeberg has been donating his office space for use by the Company.  The Company plans to use space provided by Mr. Vandeberg until it is no longer suitable for its operations or circumstances demand otherwise.

Dividends

We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain any earnings in order to finance our operations. Our Board of Directors will determine future declaration and payment of dividends, if any, in light of our then-current financial condition.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

As of July 31, 2011, we have not granted any stock options or authorized securities for issuance under an equity compensation plan.

Holders

As of November 2, 2011, we had approximately 8 holders of record of common stock and 68,201,843 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, with no additional shares reserved for issuance.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
On May 18, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  In connection therewith, we issued a convertible promissory note to Asher Enterprises, Inc. in exchange for principal funds in the amount of $45,000. The maturity date of the promissory note is February 23, 2012, whereupon all principal and interest outstanding shall be due. The holder of the note has the right to convert principal and interest outstanding into restricted shares of common stock of the Company. We have agreed to use the proceeds for general working capital purposes. This offering and sale of securities was exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of July 31, 2011, no conversion of the promissory note into shares of common stock of the Company had occurred.

There were no sales of unregistered securities during the fourth quarter of the year ended July 31, 2011.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a precious metal mineral acquisition, exploration and development company, formed in Nevada on January 30, 2007.  Our primary business focus is to acquire, explore and develop gold properties in North America.  As discussed previously in this Annual Report, we recently acquired six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of British Columbia.  The Adams Ridge Claims are the only claims we own. We are in the exploration stage with limited operating history and no revenues from our business activities.

On May 19, 2009, we conducted a 40:1 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 in this Item 7 will refer to post-forward stock split share amounts.

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, 2011, and the factors that could affect our future financial condition and plan of operation.

Going Concern Consideration

The Company’s financial statements in this Annual Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues and has accumulated losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations. The financial statements contained in this Annual Report do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Due to the doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we may in the future explore new business opportunities that we believe would be beneficial to our 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 activities, our business may fail and our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.

Impact of Inflation

Since our inception in 2007, inflation has not had a material effect on our revenues.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosure regarding recent accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 12 to our Notes to Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Mineral property acquisition, exploration and related costs are expensed as incurred unless proven and probable reserves exist and the property may commercially be mined. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, the costs incurred to develop such property, including costs to further delineate the ore body and develop the property for production, may be capitalized. Interest costs, if any, allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to constructing new facilities are capitalized until operations commence. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized. All such capitalized costs, and estimated future development costs, are then amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.

Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value. The Company currently does not have any capitalized mining costs and therefore no adjustments are needed.

See also Note 1 to the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For ease of presentation in the following discussions of “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, we round amounts less than one million dollars to the nearest thousand dollars and amounts greater than one million dollars to the nearest hundred thousand dollars.

Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2011 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2010

      Revenues

We generated no revenues during the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and do not anticipate generating any revenues unless we are successful at locating commercial quantities of minerals on one or more of our Adams Ridge Claims sites, and are able to successfully extract and sell such minerals.

      Net Gain

We had a net gain of $276,000 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $5.3 million, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. The net gain in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, was due to a former officer of the Company forgiving loans totaling $478,000 owed to him by the Company, effective in May 2011.

      Operating Expenses

We also experienced an overall decrease in our year-to-year operating expenses, which was attributable to the transactional costs related to the change in our business to a mineral exploration and development company that occurred in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, with no such material change to our business operations occurring during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. In addition, during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, we wrote off costs totaling $4.8 million associated with several mineral properties in connection with terminating the Joint Venture Agreement we entered into with Trinity Alps Resources, Inc. No such write-offs occurred during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.

Our operating expenses totaled $197,000 in the year ended July 31, 2011, as compared to $461,000 in the year ended July 31, 2010. As explained above, the difference is attributable to the transaction costs, primarily consulting, legal, accounting and investor relations fees, incurred in connection with the material change in our business that took place during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, with no such transaction occurring in the year ended July 31, 2011.

Our r ent expenditures for the year ended July 31, 2010, totaled $1,317, as compared to rent expenditures of $5,500 during the period from September 2010 to July 2011. Mr. Vandeberg is currently donating use of his offices to us due to our limited cash reserves.

     Interest Expense

We had total interest expense of $6,000 in the year ended July 31, 2011, compared to $12,000 in the year ended July 31, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of July 31, 2011, we had current assets totaling $13,000 ($11,000 in cash and $2,500 in prepaid expenses) and total liabilities of $53,000 ($8,000 of current liabilities and $45,000 of long-term liabilities). Our current liabilities at July  31, 2011, consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8,000, and our long-term liabilities consisted of convertible notes payable of $45,000. With very low cash reserves, and a working capital deficit of $5.2 million, we do not have sufficient sources of funding to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operations over the next twelve months.

 
13

 
 
In order to continue operating, we are taking steps to raise additional financing through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities, as well as exploring other options, including the possibility of entering into a strategic arrangement with a third party.
 
The following table shows our cash flow for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
    45,000       1,172,531  
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash
  $ (4,470 )     (12,194 )

      Cash from Operating Activities

The decrease in negative net cash flows of $427,000 was primarily due to a net gain of $276,000 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, attributed to the forgiveness of $478,000 in indebtedness owed to a former officer of the Company as discussed above.

     Investing Activities

The primary driver of cash used in investing activities was capital spending in the acquisition of mineral properties during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, namely the Adams Ridge Claims, as discussed in more detail above and in Note 1 to the Notes to our Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporate herein by reference. The cost of purchasing the Adams Ridge Claims was $709,000. We did not make any investments in mineral properties in the fiscal year ended July 13, 2011.

     Cash from Financing Activities

Our net cash flow from financing activities during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011 was $207,000, as compared to $1.2 million in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. We need to source additional funding from outside of the Company in order to continue operating. If equity financing is used, our stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interests in the Company.

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 us until December 31, 2011. While we have arranged for advances of up to $6,000,000 from Tobermory, and while we have received advances for $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 our Notes to Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Moving forward, we plan to seek out additional debt and/or equity financing to pay costs and expenses associated with our filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and conduct our exploration activities. We anticipate that we will need at least approximately $25,000 in financing within the next six months. The sale of additional equity securities, if undertaken by the Company and if accomplished, may result in dilution to our stockholders. We cannot assure you, however, that future financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to secure adequate capital to resume our exploration efforts, it will have a material adverse affect on our financial position, our business may fail and our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.

Mineral Properties

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”).

 
14

 

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 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.
 
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 Company’s 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. For additional disclosure pertaining to the JV Agreement, see Note 11 to our Notes to Financial Statements in this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Adams Ridge Project

In November 2010, we acquired a 100% undivided interest in six mineral claims in the Adams Ridge area of British Columbia, Canada totaling approximately 2,479 hectares. The Adams Ridge Claims are held in trust for us by Carl Von Einsiedel, trustee of the BC Land Trust, as required by the B.C. Mineral Tenure Act. These claims have been registered with the Government of British Columbia. For additional disclosure pertaining to the Adams Ridge Claims, see above under Item 1 (Description of Business) and Note 1 to our Notes to Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Purchase or Sale of Equipment

We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

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

On January 21, 2011, the Company dismissed Etania Audit Group, P.C., formerly Davis Accounting Group, P.C., and engaged Thomas J. Harris, CPA as our independent public accounting firm to audit our financial Statements. Please see our disclosure in our amended current report on Form 8-K/A dated February 10, 2011, and filed with the SEC on May 2, 2011, for more information about the change in our independent public accountants, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Etania Audit Group, P.C. (formerly Davis Accounting Group, P.C.) was not duly licensed when it issued its audit opinion on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. Thomas J. Harris, CPA, has accordingly completed an audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our executive officer evaluated 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.  Based on this evaluation, he 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, as amended, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting and, as such, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management.  Our executive officer’s 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 system’s objectives will be met (see the section below in this Item 9A entitled Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls ).

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the three months ended July 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our executive officer does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a 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 limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Johannes Petersen . On September 29, 2009, Mr. Petersen was appointed as a Director and our Chief Financial Officer.  He resigned as a Director and our Chief Financial Officer on September 10, 2010. Mr. Petersen holds a BSc in Economics from Universidad del Pacifico (Peru) and an MBA degree from the London Business School (UK).  He brings to the Company experience gained from multiple managerial and directorship positions within diverse private and public companies. Since completing his business school studies, Mr. Petersen gained business development and business planning experience with an emphasis in the resources industry.  He has worked in business planning and development for natural resource projects and has also covered several functions within the financial services industry, ranging from fixed income to currency trading.  Mr. Petersen currently sits on the board of directors of Reflection Oil & Gas Partners Ltd., a private UK company, Tiger Oil & Gas Corporation Ltd, a private UK company of which he was a founder, Hainan Mining Corporation Ltd., a private UK company of which he was a founder, and Century Petroleum Corp.

Nominations to the Board of Directors

There were no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Board Committees

Since our Board of Directors currently consists of one member, we do not have any Board committees. As such, we have no 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 Director acts as the audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act.   In addition, our Director does not currently meet the definition of an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Due to our small size, limited resources and capital constraints, we have not been in a position to recruit additional persons to serve on our Board of Directors and we will not be in a position to do so until we begin to generate revenue.

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 and furnish us with copies of all such Section 16(a) forms that are filed.

To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us for the year ended July 31, 2011, one (1) Form 4 report required to be filed by Mr. Wayne Gruden was not filed.

Code of Ethics

Due to our small size and limited resources, and the fact that we have one person serving as the sole Director and executive officer, we have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary Compensation

As discussed above, since our Board of Directors currently consists of one member, we have not established a separate compensation committee, nor therefore do we have a compensation committee charter.  Instead, our Director approves executive compensation policies and practices for himself as sole executive officer of the Company.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Party Transactions

We have not entered into any reportable transaction nor are there any proposed reportable transactions in which our director and executive officer, stockholders or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest. We have, however, received funds in the form of loans from our former directors and officers as disclosed in Notes 4 and 9 of  to our Notes to Financial Statements attached to this Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. We have also paid legal fees to Vandeberg Law Group, of which Mr. Vandeberg is the sole principal, for legal services rendered on behalf of the Company.
 
Director Independence

We have only one person serving as our sole Director and executive officer, and he is therefore not deemed to be independent under Rule 4200 of the National Association of Securities Dealers’ (NASD) listing standards for determining director independence.  We may seek out independent directors in the future if we are able to develop our business as planned, including generating revenue from our operations.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The firm of Thomas J. Harris, CPA currently serves as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of different public accountants at any time during the year, if the Board believes that a change would be in the best interests of the stockholders. Our Board of Directors considered the audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees paid to our accountants, as disclosed below, and had determined that the payment of such fees is compatible with maintaining the independence of the accountants.
 
We do not currently have an audit committee, so our sole Director serves the functions of an audit committee.
 
Our financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, respectively, were audited by Thomas J. Harris, CPA.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees paid to Thomas J. Harris, CPA for the audit of our annual financial statements included in our annual reports for the years ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, and the review of our quarterly reports for such years amounted to $6,750. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, we paid audit fees in the amount of $16,474 to Etania Audit Group P.C. (formerly Davis Accounting Group, P.C.).

Audit Related Fees

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, we paid no audit related fees to either Thomas J. Harris, CPA. or Etania Audit Group P.C.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
AMERICAN SIERRA GOLD CORP.
(FORMERLY C.E. ENTERTAINMENT, INC.)
Seattle, WA

We have audited the balance sheets of AMERICAN SIERRA GOLD CORP. (FORMERLY C.E. ENTERTAINMENT, INC.) an exploration stage company, as at JULY 31, 2011 and 2010, the statements of earnings and deficit, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from inception January 30, 2007 to JULY 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted 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, 2011 and 2010 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, 2011, 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 company’s 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.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General Organization and Business

American Sierra Gold Corp. (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 is considered to be in the exploration stage since it has not established the existence of a commercially minable deposit and therefore has not reached the development 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 Company’s 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.

In February 2007, the Company commenced a capital formation activity through a private placement offering (“PPO”), exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) to raise up to $38,000 through the issuance 30,400,000 shares of its common stock (post forward stock split), par value $0.001 per share, at an offering price of $0.00125 per share.  As of March 31, 2007, the Company closed the PPO and received proceeds totaling $38,000.

The Company also commenced registered offering on Form SB-2 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register 30,400,000 shares of its outstanding shares of common stock (post forward stock split) on behalf of selling stockholders.  The registration statement on Form SB-2 was filed with the SEC on November 7, 2007, and declared effective on November 20, 2007.  The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from this registered offering from the sale of the shares of common stock.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s 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, the Company considers 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has 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.  The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it 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

The Company has 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.  The Company does 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 Company's 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 website's 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 engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring properties that may contain precious metals, with an emphasis on gold and silver. If precious metals are found, the Company’s intention is to develop, mine and produce the precious metals. 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.
 
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 2 - Uncertainty, going concern:

At July 31, 2011, 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. Although management is currently attempting to identify business opportunities and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance that these activities will be successful. Accordingly, the Company must rely on its current officer to perform essential functions without compensation unless and until the Company generates revenue.  No amounts have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for the value of the officer’s 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 3 - Change in Management

On September 29, 2009, Mr. Johannes Petersen was appointed as a Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

On October 20, 2010, Mr. Wayne Gruden resigned as a Director and sole executive officer of the Company and Mr. James Vandeberg was appointed as Director and sole executive officer of the Company.

Note 4 - Related Party Loans

As of April 30, 2011, a loan from an individual who is a former Director, officer, and stockholder of the Company amounted to $27,301 (July 31, 2009 - $27,301).  The loan was provided for working capital purposes, and was unsecured, non-interest bearing, and had no terms for repayment.  In May 2011, this note was forgiven by the lender and the Company recognized the amount owing of $27,301 as other income.

Note 12 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On May 22, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 164, (FASB ASC 958) “ Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers and Acquisitions ”.  SFAS No. 164 (FASB ASC 958) is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a not-for-profit entity provides in its financial reports about a combination with one or more other not-for-profit entities, businesses, or nonprofit activities. To accomplish that, this Statement establishes principles and requirements for how a not-for-profit entity:

a.
Determines whether a combination is a merger or an acquisition.
b.
Applies the carryover method in accounting for a merger.
c.
Applies the acquisition method in accounting for an acquisition, including determining which of the combining entities is the acquirer.
d.
Determines what information to disclose to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a merger or an acquisition.

This Statement also improves the information a not-for-profit entity provides about goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition by amending FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , to make it fully applicable to not-for-profit entities.

SFAS No. 164 (FASB ASC 958) is effective for mergers occurring on or after December 15, 2009, and acquisitions for which the acquisition date  is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2009.  Early application is prohibited.  The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.

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.

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.

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 Assets- an 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 entity's 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.

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 entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.
 
This statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period 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.

SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC 105) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
