ATTACHMENT
1 TO
FORM
12b-25
NOTIFICATION
OF LATE FILING
For
the
period ended July 31, 2006, the Company had a substantial increase in general
and administrative expenses, and therefore a substantially greater net loss
from
operations compared to the period ended July 31, 2005. Since July 2005, the
Company received funding from one private placement that closed in March 2006,
which provided the Company with the financial resources necessary to increase
its operations and drilling projects, and resulting in an increase in
exploration-related expenditures. As a result, the Company’s operations for the
period ended July 31, 2006 are substantially greater than the corresponding
period in 2005. This resulted in a net loss for the nine months ended July
31,
2006 of more than two times greater than the net loss for the same nine month
period in 2005.
