- Asset Status: The company holds one 18-unit metric claim (Standard claim) in the Bridge River gold camp, expiring February 24, 2002. No commercially minable ore deposit has been established.
- Tax Position: The company has a net operating loss carryforward of $35,213, but a full valuation reserve has been recorded due to the uncertainty of future operations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the company's ability to secure immediate financing to meet the February 2002 claim renewal deadline and fund the planned summer exploration program.
- Confirm the status of the $20,633 in liabilities, specifically the $12,507 owed to related parties.
- Assess the validity of the mineral claim and the geological potential of the Bridge River gold camp property.
- Review the company's capitalization history and the dilution impact of any future equity raises required for survival.
