NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which presumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company is in the process of exploring its resource properties and has not yet determined whether the properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The recovery of the amounts shown for resource properties and the related deferred expenditures is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mining claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production and the support of the Company's trade creditors.

The financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments to the amount of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern arid therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the ordinary course of business,

Mining Claims

Mining claims are carried at cost until they are brought into production at which time they are depleted on a unit-of-production basis.

Exploration expenditures relating to mining claims are deferred until the properties are brought into production at which time they are amortized on a unit-of-production basis.

The cost of claims abandoned or sold and the deferred exploration costs relating to claims abandoned or sold are charged to operations in the current year.

 

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses are charged to operations in the year incurred.

Oil and Gas Interests

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas interests whereby all costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized until their economic status has been evaluated.
