Risk Factors


This Report contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or our future performance, including our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, or “potential” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in enumerated in this section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.


While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested in this Report. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this Report in evaluating our company and our business before purchasing shares of our company’s common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.


Risks Associated with Mining


All of our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that any of our properties contain any mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.


Despite our acquisition of mineral claims and rights, we have not established that any of them contain any commercially exploitable mineral reserves, nor can there be any assurance that we will ever find commercially exploitable mineral reserves. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a commercially exploitable mineral reserve is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource properties do not contain any reserves and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that any exploration on our properties will establish that commercially exploitable reserves of minerals exist on our mineral properties. Additional potential problems that may prevent us from discovering any reserves of minerals on our property include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Most of these factors are beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.


If we are unable to establish the presence of commercially exploitable reserves of minerals on our property, our ability to fund future exploration activities will be impeded, we will not be able to operate profitably and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.


We face intense competition in the mineral exploration and exploitation industry and we compete with our competitors for financing, for new mineral resource properties and for qualified managerial and technical employees.


Our competition includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. As a result of this competition, we may have to compete for financing and be unable to acquire financing on terms we consider acceptable. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. We may also have to compete with the other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended. If we are unable to successfully compete for the acquisition of suitable prospects for exploration in the future, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties. The occurrence of any of these things may cause us to cease operations as a company.


Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration and exploitation, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.


The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.


Our title to our resource properties may be challenged by third parties or the licenses that permit us to explore our properties may expire if we fail to timely renew them and pay the required fees.


We have investigated the status of our title to our mineral resource properties and we are satisfied that the title to these properties is properly registered in the name of our company, but we cannot guarantee that the rights to explore our properties will not be revoked or altered to our detriment. The ownership and validity of mining claims and concessions are often uncertain and may be contested. Should such a challenge to the boundaries or registration of ownership arise, the resolution of disputes or the process of clarifying the accuracy of our mining license registration could take substantial time and money. Further, the preservation of our title to our mineral properties requires that we continue to expend money or work the claims. If we fail to expend the necessary amount of money or if we fail to work our mineral claims, then our title to our mineral properties could expire or be forfeit.

Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.


The market price of precious metals and other minerals is volatile and has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. The prices of various metals are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods. The supply of and demand for metals are affected by various factors, including political events, economic conditions and production casts in major mineral producing regions. Variations in the market prices of metals may impact on our ability to raise funding to continue exploration of our properties. In addition, any significant fluctuations in metal prices will impact on our decision to accelerate or reduce our exploration activities. If the price of precious metals and other minerals should drop significantly, the cost of mineral extraction may be higher than is economically feasible. The marketability of minerals is also affected by numerous other factors beyond our control, including government regulations relating to royalties, allowable production and importing and exporting of minerals, the effect of which cannot be accurately predicted.


Mineral operations are subject to government regulations which could have the effect of reducing or preventing us from exploiting any possible mineral reserves on our properties.


Exploration activities are subject to national and local laws and regulations governing prospects, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and others which may in the future have a substantial adverse impact on our company’s prospects. In order to comply with applicable laws, we may be required to make capital expenditures until a particular problem is remedied. Existing and possible future environmental legislation, regulation and action could cause additional expense, capital expenditure, restriction and delay in the activities of our company, the extent of which cannot be reasonably predicted. If we violate any applicable law or regulation, we could be forced to stop work and we could be fined. If we are forced to suspend our activities or if we are required to pay a large fine for a violation of these applicable laws and regulations, our business could be adversely affected.


Our operations may be subject to environmental regulations which may result in the imposition of fines and penalties.


Our operations may be subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards, and enforcement; fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations.


Risks Related To Our Company


The fact that we have not generated any operating revenues for the last five years raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


We have not generated any operating revenues for the last five years and we will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses without revenues until our mining properties are fully developed and in commercial production. We had cash in the amount of $252,718 as of December 31, 2007. As a result, we need to generate significant revenues from our operations or obtain financing. We cannot assure that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mining properties or assure that viable reserves exist on the properties for extraction. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. It is unlikely that we will generate any funds internally until we discover commercially viable quantities of precious metals and other minerals. If we are unable to generate revenue from our business in the next twelve months, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these actions were to become necessary, we may not be able to continue to explore our properties or operate our business and if either of those events happen, then there is a substantial risk our business would fail.



10



We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects.


As of the date of this Report, we have not yet located any mineral reserve. As a result, we have never had any revenues from our operations. In addition, we have no operating history related to the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties. We have no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether our mineral properties contain any mineral reserve or, if they do that we will be able to build or operate a mine successfully. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating costs without realizing any revenues during the period when we are exploring our properties. We expect to continue to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from mining operations and any dispositions of our properties, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. At this early stage of our operation in this industry, we also expect to face the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at the start up stage of their business development. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.


We have not generated any revenue from our business and we may need to raise additional funds in the near future. If we are not able to obtain future financing when required, we might be forced to discontinue our business.


Because we have not generated any revenue from our business and we cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate revenue from our business, we will need to raise additional funds for the further exploration and future development of our mining claims and to respond to unanticipated requirements or expensesWe do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors we will be able to find such financing if required. We have no assurance that additional funding will be available to us for further exploration and development of our projects or to fulfill our obligations under any applicable agreements. Although we have been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in a delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of our projects with the possible loss of such properties.


Our Articles of Incorporation indemnify our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.


Our Articles of Incorporation contain provisions limiting the liability of our officers and directors for their acts, receipts, neglects or defaults and for any other loss, damage or expense incurred by our company which shall happen in the execution of the duties of such officers or directors, unless the officers or directors did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of our company. Such limitations on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to our company, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and our shareholders.


Risks Relating to our Securities


Investors’ interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities.


We are currently without a source of revenue and will most likely be required to issue additional shares to finance our operations and, depending on the outcome of our exploration programs, may issue additional shares to finance additional exploration programs of any or all of our projects or to acquire additional properties. If we are required to issue additional shares to raise financing, your interests in our company will be diluted and you may suffer dilution in your net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such share purchase warrants and share purchase options, and they are exercised, there will be a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. The dilution may result in a decline in the market price of our common shares.


Investors’ interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue employee/director/consultant options.

 

We may in the future grant to some or all of our directors, officers, insiders, and key employees options to purchase our common shares as non-cash incentives to those persons. Such options may be granted at exercise prices equal to market prices, or at such other price as may be permitted under the policies of any stock exchange upon which our securities are traded (currently, our common shares are listed for trading on the OTC BB), when the public market is depressed. The issuance of additional shares will cause our existing shareholders to experience dilution of their ownership interests.



11



We Do Not Plan to Pay any Dividends in the Foreseeable Future


The Company has never paid a dividend and it is unlikely that the Company will declare or pay a dividend until warranted based on the factors outlined below. The declaration, amount and date of distribution of any dividends in the future will be decided by the Board of Directors from time-to-time, based upon, and subject to, the Company’s earnings, financial requirements and other conditions prevailing at the time.


In the Event that Key Employees Leave the Company, the Company Would Be Harmed Since We are Heavily Dependent Upon Them for All Aspects of Our Activities


The Company is heavily dependent on key employees and contractors, and on our sole officer and director, the loss of any of whom could have, in the short-term, any negative impact on our ability to conduct our activities and could cause a decline in profitability of our properties or additional costs from a delay in development or exploration of properties. The Company has consulting agreements with key employees and contractors, and an employment agreement with our sole officer and director.


Our Management May Not Be Subject to U.S. Legal Process Making it More Difficult for U.S. Investors to Sue Them


The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may not be possible by the fact that all of our officers and directors are neither citizens nor residents of the United States. U.S. stockholders may not be able to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons. U.S. stockholders may not be able to enforce, in United States courts, judgments against such persons obtained in such courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws. Appropriate foreign courts may not be able to enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws. The appropriate foreign courts may not be able to enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated solely upon the United States federal securities laws. However, U.S. laws would generally be enforced by a Canadian court provided that those laws are not contrary to Canadian public policy, are not foreign penal laws or laws that deal with taxation or the taking of property by a foreign government and provided that they are in compliance with applicable Canadian legislation regarding the limitation of actions.


We face exposure to fluctuations in the price of our common stock due to the very limited cash resources we have.


The Company has very limited resources to pay its professionals. If we are unable to pay professionals in order to perform various professional services for the company, it may be difficult, if not impossible, for the Company to maintain its reporting status under the Exchange Act. If the Company felt that it was likely that it would not be able to maintain its reporting status, it would make a disclosure by filing a Form 6-K with the SEC. In any case, if the Company was not able to maintain its reporting status, it would become “delisted” and this would potentially cause an investor or an existing shareholder to lose all or part of his investment.


The Company does not anticipate any contingency upon which it would voluntarily cease filing reports with the SEC, even though it may cease to be required to do so.


It is in the compelling interest of the Company to report its affairs quarterly, annually and currently, as the case may be, generally to provide accessible public information to interested parties, and also specifically to maintain its qualification for the OTCBB, if and when the Registrant's intended application for submission is effective.


Success of the Company will Depend on the Developments of an Active Trading Market.


While the Company's common shares (“Common Shares”) are included on NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Common Shares will develop. In the absence of such a market, investors may be unable to readily liquidate their investment in the Common Shares. The market for equity securities in general has been volatile and the trading price of the Common Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to general market trends, changes in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets and other factors that may be unrelated to the Company's performance.



12



Low-Priced Stocks Subject to Greater Disclosure Requirements.


The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules (“Penny Stock Rules”) that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The Common Shares of the Company may fall within the Commission's definition of a penny stock. The closing price of the Company's shares on July 12, 2007 was $0.30. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current prices 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 effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must 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. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the Penny Stock Rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must 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 is subject to the Penny Stock Rules. At any time when the Company's common stock is subject to the Penny Stock Rules, shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.


ITEM 4.

Information on the Company


A.

History and Development of the Company


Historical Overview


The Company was incorporated as a federal company pursuant to the laws of Canada under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Act”) on October 30, 1997, under the name 3430502 Canada Ltd. Since that time, the Company has changed its name four times: (1) On or about December 4, 1997, the Company changed its name to Four Crown Foods Inc.; (2) On or about June 5, 2000, the Company changed its name to Universal Domains Incorporated; (3) On or about September 20, 2004, the Company changed its name to Pure Capital Incorporated; and (4) On or about February 6, 2007, the Company changed its name to Tombstone Exploration Corporation.


Prior to current operations, the Company most recently operated as an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production, and acquisition of crude oil and natural gas. Although the Company acquired a 75% working interest in the Puckett Field located in the State of Mississippi, and became partnered with Hawkeye Drilling Co. in March 2003, this relationship was abandoned in 2003 as the drilling was unsuccessful. Then, in January 2004, Hawkeye Drilling obtained a Court Order for the return of the Company’s interest in the Puckett Field. Subsequently, and upon information and belief, Hawkeye Drilling has sold its interest in the Puckett Field to a third-party.


Until March 2003, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary VCL Communications Corp. (“VCL”), was in the business of providing teleconferencing services to clients in North America. In March 2003, the Company decided to discontinue providing teleconferencing services in order to focus on the oil and gas business.


Prior to the Company’s central operation model shifting to the oil and gas industry, the Company was involved in the food and beverage retail business (the “Food Retail Business”). Prior to December 31, 2001 the Company discontinued its Food Retail Business operations. The Company commenced a domain registration business upon the acquisition on April 12, 2000 of the license rights to a domain registration agreement for the “.cc” Internet registration domain. The Company withdrew from the domain registration business during fiscal 2001. In October, 2001 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of VCL, a teleconferencing services company targeting clients throughout North America.


In November 2003, the Company ceased all operations. From that time until November 27, 2006, the Company’s goals were to continue to reduce the liabilities of the Company in an effort to obtain additional financing and explore the possibilities of starting a new operating business, and/or merge with or become acquired by another company or entity.


On November 1, 2006, the Company began negotiations with Redhawk for the acquisition of several mining and mineral right claims located in the State of Arizona. On November 27, 2006, the Company and Redhawk, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, finalized the transaction, which closed on December 4, 2006.



13



Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, at closing, the Company issued to Redhawk Eight Million (8,000,000) restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at Ten Cents ($0.10) per share (“Acquisition Shares”) and cash in the amount of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) dollars (“Acquisition Cash”).


In exchange for the aforementioned Acquisition Shares and Acquisition Cash, the Company received from Redhawk full rights and title to certain mining and exploration claims (the “Mining Claims”) located in the State of Arizona, along with other equipment and property.


A more detailed discussion of the Company’s business and properties are set forth below, and incorporated herein by reference.


Present Operations of our Company


The primary focus of operations will be to generate revenue from the production of silver, gold and barium as well as additional base minerals such as copper, lead and zinc. Through expansion, we will acquire new properties, as well as integrate the extraction of precious metals, rare earth and other minerals. The goal is to produce metals and minerals at or below standard industry costs. The historical nature of mining activities of our present holdings and the acceptance of governmental agencies will enable easier startup here than in non-mining oriented locations.


The significant potential for silver recovery will likely draw considerable interest from major silver producing companies, as well as precious metals mining concerns.  With the variety of the metals projected for extraction, the Company expects to attract major attention and support from the state, local and federal governments


The Company will initiate mineral extraction as soon as funding and permitting is secured.  These efforts will provide an operating financial base from which to expand. Continuing geological research, testing and drilling is planned based on the initial geological report.  This will assist in the identification of key target areas, as well as establish reserve categories.


Discussions with precious metal processing and consulting companies to assist in the design of the overall operation of the Tombstone property have been initiated.  Relationships have already been established with refineries, assay companies and engineering firms supporting worldwide mineral processing operations.


We now control more mining acreage in the mineral rich Tombstone district than any other company. Management has structured and positioned the Company to capitalize on today's increasing demand and prices for precious metals and base metals such as copper, lead and zinc. Accordingly, we have acquired the mineral rights to approximately 13,500 acres of historical mining land in the areas around Tombstone, Arizona. The Company is the largest land holder in the Tombstone mining district. Through expansion, Tombstone Exploration will acquire new properties, as well as integrate the extraction of precious and base metals. The goal is to produce metals and minerals below standard industry costs.


B. Business Overview

 

We are in the mineral resource business. This business generally consists of three stages: exploration, development and production. We are a mineral resource company in the exploration stage because we have not yet found mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities, and are engaged in exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production stage.


Mineral resource exploration can consist of several stages. The earliest stage usually consists of the identification of a potential prospect through either the discovery of a mineralized showing on that property or as the result of a property being in proximity to another property on which exploitable resources have been identified, whether or not they are or have in the past been extracted.


After the identification of a property as a potential prospect, the next stage would usually be the acquisition of a right to explore the area for mineral resources. This can consist of the outright acquisition of the land or the acquisition of specific, but limited, rights to the land (e.g., a license, lease or concession). After acquisition, exploration would probably begin with a surface examination by a prospector or professional geologist with the aim of identifying areas of potential mineralization, followed by detailed geological sampling and mapping of this showing with possible geophysical and geochemical grid surveys to establish whether a known trend of mineralization continues underground, possibly trenching in these covered areas to allow sampling of the underlying rock. Exploration also commonly includes systematic regularly spaced drilling in order to determine the extent and grade of the mineralized system at depth and over a given area, as well as gaining underground access by ramping or shafting in order to obtain bulk samples that would allow one to determine the ability to recover various commodities from the rock. If minerals are found, exploration might culminate in a feasibility study to ascertain if the mining of the minerals would be economic. A feasibility study is a study that reaches a conclusion with respect to the economics of bringing a mineral resource to the production stage.



14



We will focus on the exploration and acquisition of mineral properties in the United States, and specifically, hold a majority of our interests in the State of Arizona. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties and further exploration work may be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined.


For further information, see Item 3D – Risk Factors.


Our primary natural resource property consists of approximately 9,000 acres of historical mining land southwest, south and southeast of Tombstone, Arizona (the “Tombstone Property”).


On June 25, 2008, we began our drilling program at the Tombstone Silver Project became operational. We engaged Layne Christensen Company (NASDAQ: LAYN) of Mission Woods, Kansas to conduct the 2008 drilling program. Layne Christensen's Mineral Exploration Division is one of the largest companies providing drilling services for geological assessment with over 150 drilling rigs worldwide.


The initial drilling program will focus on the exploration of DDH TEMC-101. DDH TEMC-101 was designed to intercept two major silver-bearing manganese oxide structures of historical production: in the district: Bonanza and Santa Ana mines. Records from these mines indicate that they have been highly productive operations for several decades, and mining took place only to the water level, estimated in late 1890s at 200 ft. Hole TEMC-101 is currently at 310 ft, just above the water table. Core exhibits great recovery over 90% due to the fact the Tombstone Exploration decided to core drill HQ with the triple tube technique in order to recover the maximum rock samples at the ore zones. Geology observed so far consists of Uncle Sam porphyry down to 75 ft and the Bisbee group down the depth indicated above. These two stratigraphic units are main host rock units along the Bisbee-Tombstone mineral belt.


Rock material is extremely fractured, showing significant rusty fractures and veinlets, carrying locally manganese oxides. At approximately 235 ft., trace pyrite coated with black sulfide is disseminated in the limestone, while at 310 ft strong manganese oxides veinlets are observed. Such veinlets are physically analogous to ore matter in the mines.


The Bonanza and Santa Ana structures are trending N30E and dipping to northwest quite steeply, some 65-70 degrees. The target zone is estimated at around 700 ft way below the water table in the sulfides horizon. However, due to the nature of ore occurrences in the Tombstone mining district, there exists high probability that DDH TEMC-101 may intercept blind mineralized structures on the down to main targets not detected on surface.


Next drill hole of this program is designed to target the same structures at 45 degrees angle some 30 ft closer towards the structures.


On May 1, 2008, we received confirmation of the high sample value of a select sample SA 35-0 that was received from ALS Chemex, a certified laboratory. Sample SA 35-0 (5 cm) was previously reported by Mountain States Research and Development International, a certified laboratory, as containing 971.40 opt silver (Ag), 0.335 opt gold (Au) and 17% lead (Pb). The pulp from the original sample was re-assayed and has been confirmed that this sample is high grade. TMBXF has contacted ALS Chemex and arranged to have this sample rerun to further confirm the Ag content. Sample SA 35-0 was collected from the Santa Ana mine. Additionally, a recently collected channel sample measuring 0.8 meters (2.6 feet) at the Merrimac mine assayed 36.75 opt Ag and 8.4% Pb. The Merrimac structure and the Santa Ana structures are on sub-parallel zones that are approximately 600 meters (2000 feet) apart. Five other samples ranged from 7.2 opt Ag to 11.1 opt Ag while another five samples assayed between 3.4 opt Ag and 4.2 opt Ag.


Although the drilling program has begun as of the date of this report, we have not identified the existence of any commercially viable mineral deposits at the Tombstone Property. We are in the process of conducting prospecting and sampling as necessary.


There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the Tombstone Property, and further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically and legally feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will constitute a reserve (a reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit). Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” for additional information about the risks of mineral exploration.


The drill program will consist of twenty-three core holes drilled from fifteen distinct drill sites that are designed to intercept extensions of the State of Maine mine, Merrimac zone, Bonanza-Solstice mines and the Ace-in-the-Hole-Black Horse mine sub-parallel trends. These zones are north-easterly trending. Core holes will be HQ size and will be drilled using triple tube core technology to assure that the most complete core recovery is achieved. Drill hole spacing will be approximately 100 meters between drill hole sites. The four mineralized zones will be tested over strike lengths ranging from 200 meters to 500 meters.



15



Eight drill hole sites are planned to have two holes drilled at different angles along the same directions to intercept their targets at different depths. Seven sites will have one hole each. The length of the holes range from 125 meters to 320 meters and vary in inclination from 45° to 90°. The holes are designed to penetrate the target zones below the water level. All available historical data indicates that no mining in the program area was conducted below the water level.


Revenues


To date we have not generated any revenues from the Tombstone Property.


Principal Market


We do not currently have any market, as we have not yet identified any mineral resource on the Tombstone Property that is of a commercially exploitable quantity. If we succeed in identifying a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities, our principal markets should consist of metals refineries and base metal traders and dealers.


Seasonality of our Business


Our mineral exploration activities are not subject to extreme seasonal variation since the Tombstone Property is located in Arizona. Field work, however, is best carried out in temperatures averaging 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. Our other operations, such as metallurgical review and analysis of geochemical survey results, can be carried out all year round.


Sources and Availability of Raw Materials


The Tombstone Property is easily accessible by major highways and roads. The closest suitable source of power for development is the transmission line between Tombstone and Sierra Vista, which runs parallel to the highway and through the property. If a mineral resource is found on our Tombstone Property, power generation would be required.


Patents and Licenses; Industrial, Commercial and Financial Contracts; and New Manufacturing Processes


In conducting our business operations, we are not dependent on any patented or license processes, technology, industrial, commercial or financial contract or new manufacturing processes.


Competitive Conditions


We compete with other mining companies, some of which have greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition of mineral interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.


The mineral property exploration business, in general, is intensively competitive and there is not any assurance that even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, a ready market will exist for sale of same. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations; the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of mineral and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may make it difficult for us to receive an adequate return on investment.


We compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. Low metal prices and an instable market, even among competition, leads us to assume that we will not face any difficulties retaining geologists or other consultants compared to our competition.


Competition in the usual context, and as experienced by manufacturers of automobiles, durable goods, clothing, electronics, and the providers of most services simply is not a factor in the minerals market.  The demand for minerals always exceeds supply, and historically prices have consistently risen.  The only major factor for competition is the cost of production.


Although, competition over cost of production exists, there is little competition in the marketplace for the company’s products.  The market absorbs all precious metals and most base metals produced at prevailing prices.  Larger producers can hedge future production to enable easier management of expected revenue in times of price fluctuation, whereas junior companies usually sell at market prices.  In today’s market larger producers have pulled back from hedging.


The primary competition in the precious metals market is for talent in the workforce.  As prices have risen many new companies have started operations or are in the midst of exploration and proving of reserves.  It is in this area that competition exists for experienced geologists, project managers, and mining executives.  In many areas there also is a shortage of mining labor.  



16



Tombstone Exploration believes it can overcome this competition due to it’s location in a historical mining area, year-round working conditions and nearness to major population centers of Tucson and Phoenix, AZ.  Additionally, experienced mining professionals have assisted in developing the corporation and have many contacts in the industry.


In the local area of Tombstone, there is essentially no competition.  Several small companies and a junior Canadian firm (Southern Silver Exploration) hold small parcels of land.  To our knowledge, we are the largest individual holder of land.  Pure Capital controls land from approximately the city limits to the protected San Pedro River Basin area.


Environmental Regulations


Mineral property exploration in Arizona is governed by the State of Arizona Office of Mine Inspector as well as Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations, both seek to regulate and promote the development of safe and environmentally conscious mining operations.


Governmental Regulations


Mining operations are subject to a wide range of government regulations such as restrictions on production, price controls, tax increases, expropriation of property, environmental protection, protection of agricultural territory or changes in conditions under which minerals may be marketed. Mining operations may also be affected by claims of native peoples, any of which could have the effect of reducing or preventing us from exploiting any of our properties.


We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the State of Arizona and in the United States generally.


Our mineral claims entitle our company to continue exploration activities on our properties, subject to our compliance with various United States federal and state laws governing land use, the protection of the environment and related matters.


C.       Organizational Structure


We have a wholly owned subsidiary, Tombstone Exploration and Mining Corporation (“TEMC”), a Nevada corporation that is qualified to do business in the State of Arizona.  All of our operations are conducted through TEMC.


D.       Property, Plant and Equipment


Our principal executive office is located at 1515 Red Top Rd. P.O. Box 1280, Tombstone, AZ. 85638. We operate out of a mobile facility that is approximately 1,200 square feet and accommodates all operating needs.  The facility is equipped with five (5) offices, a reception area and a conference room.  We own the mobile facility, which is adequate for our current operations. Additionally, we share this space with our wholly owned subsidiary, TEMC. Should we require additional space, we believe that such space can be secured on commercially reasonable terms by securing other mobile facilities.  


This space accommodates all of our executive and administrative offices. We believe that this existing space is adequate for our current needs. Should we require additional space, we believe that such space can be secured on commercially reasonable terms.  


Our primary property consists of mineral rights to approximately 13,500 acres of historical mining land southwest, south and southeast of Tombstone, Arizona. We control one of the largest mining properties in Arizona.  


The Tombstone Project is located approximately 65 miles southeast of Tucson, AZ and is easily accessible by major highways and roads.  An overview map is shown below, followed by a detailed look at the magnitude of the property size compared to the city of Tombstone.

The Tombstone Project consists of the following claims:


Arizona Mining Claims Township 20 S Range 22E:


AMC364521 - AMC364556: Silver Bullet #1 thru #36 – Sec. 9

AMC364557 – AMC364572: Silver Bullet #37 thru #52 – Sec. 10

AMC364573 – AMC364576: Silver Bullet Extension #53 thru #56 – Sec. 15


In April 2007, the Company was granted permits giving the Company the exclusive right to explore 3,070 acres of prospective Arizona State lands (the ``Parcels''), which were approved by the Arizona State Lands Department. Upon exploration and verification of mineable minerals and base metals, the Company will then immediately seek to obtain state mineral leases on these Parcels. The Parcels include a 100 acre area that was evaluated by Interstat Resources, Inc. for its open pit silver potential in 1985. The Interstat report assay records show values ranging up to 220.07 opt Ag and 0.980 opt Au were encountered across narrow structures. In 1986, the state issued a recommendation that Interstat be granted a mineral lease to mine a 50,000 ton deposit of +1.5 opt Ag (Au values were not noted) by open pit methods from surface to 100 feet in depth. Much of this resource appears to be in the mineralized hangwall of the State of Maine mine.


On February 27, 2007, the Company closed a transaction pursuant to which it acquired various mineral rights claims from Donald Heck as Trustee of the Tombstone Silver Mines Secured Creditors Trust. The Purchase Agreement is incorporated by reference herein.

Industry of Interest


The precious metals and base metals industry produces over $100B in metal production per year.  The industry is essentially two sectors: the major producers and the junior exploration and mining companies.


The major producers such as Barrick, Newmont and Phelps Dodge, produce the majority of precious and base metals from large scale, geologically scattered operations.  Property expansion by the majors typically comes from joint venture, consolidation or acquisition with junior exploration and mining companies.  This occurs usually because a junior finds it difficult to initiate full scale operations due to the significant front end development costs.  The majors can absorb and develop the newly discovered fields with little impact to overhead operations and can fund direct operations through forward sale of metals.


Juniors typically spend the majority of their money locating new potentially rich areas, proving up a portion of reserves through geological studies, analyses and drilling, and then initialing small scale operations.  During that period most successful juniors draw the attention of and team in some way with a major producer.  


Cost of operations/production is the driver in the industry.  All product produced, particularly in the precious metals industry, is absorbed by the market.  Demand exceeds supply.  The most profitable companies have the lowest per ounce/pound cost of production.  The highest return to investors, however, comes from junior companies, when successful, where per share prices are lower until a viable project is proven.  Risk, though, is often higher with junior companies, unless and until they locate and acquire viable projects and adequate funding.


The prime customers for the precious metals sector of the industry are the refiners such as Englehart, Johnson Maffey, etc.  These companies serve as the distributor of product between the producers and the consumers.  The majority of precious metals produced are utilized by the industrial and electronics industry, the automotive industry, the jewelry industry and the investment community.


As metals prices have risen, so too has the interest in new areas for exploration and eventual production.  The past two decades has seen a significant expansion of interest into Central and South America, as well as developing third world countries.  Today’s price levels combined with the political uncertainties of many foreign projects, and the inability for year-round operations in portions of Alaska and northern Canada, has produced a resurgence of junior companies in the mainland United States.  However, many juniors target only one or two categories of metals.  This model of operation limits their chance for success for production or buyout.



19



The keys to success for today’s junior exploration and mining companies are four: 1. Property holdings and potential; 2. location; 3. metal diversity; and 4. cost of development and operation.  


The Tombstone Property


The Tombstone District sits astride a regional NE trending structure. This structure is visible on topographic maps as well as satellite images of the American Southwest. It is a northeast trending rift structure or shear traceable from southwest of the Huachuca Mountains of Arizona northeast to Silver City, New Mexico.


The majority of veins and mineralized structures within the Tombstone District and neighboring districts exhibit the same northeast alignment as the above noted structure. In neighboring districts along the NE rift, silver and gold mineralization occur in igneous and sedimentary rocks, suggesting ore mineralization is pervasive and of considerable extent along this northeast trending, regional rift.


This structural trend of mineralization presents an exploration potential of tremendous magnitude, with precious metals and base metals distributed along and adjacent to the structure.


Geologic evaluation of ore-bearing structures within the Tombstone basin suggest that mineralization similar to that historically mined, could support an open pit heap leach operation such as that conducted by Tombstone Exploration, Inc., circa 1980 to 1985.


Mesothermal replacement deposits primarily of silver, gold, zinc and lead in the upper Paleozoic section and copper in the lower Paleozoic section below Tombstone are thought to continue at depth.


Copper replacement deposits in The Abrigo and Martin Formations as seen at Bisbee may be similar to those suspected beneath the West Tombstone/Charleston areas.


Multiple porphyry copper centers are known to occur elsewhere associated with Laramide-age granodiorite and quartz monzonite plutons. One such center, confirmed by deep drilling by ASARCO in 1973-74, occurs near the Robbers Roost, on Company property, where intense argillic alteration and mineralized breccia pipe emplacement are exposed by erosion.


Surface examination of the West Tombstone area reveals there are numerous veins and structures that have not been mined or explored. The close proximity of many of these structures and veins may allow for Slot or Open Pit mining methods if sufficiently high silver-gold values are carried between.


The high degree of vein wall rock alteration indicates the silver and gold mineralization should extend away from the veins into the wall rocks. Most of the veins observed appear to be fissure fillings within fractured intrusive dikes and sills. Aplite and Andesite porphyry dike rocks appear in fissure veins of the West Tombstone-Solstice area.


Skarn mineralization appears to underlie a portion of the project area. Observed locally, the Skarn mineralization appears to be contained beneath a series of low angle or thrust faults as seen on the face of the Ground Hog hill and constituting the Limestone-volcanic contact at the western end of the Carbonate patented lode claim.


Most prominent structures are veins occupying N-NE trending fault zones and shears. Ore appears to have been mined where highly manganiferous vein material is present in the NE structures.


In the west portions of the property, the limestone is altered into rocks typically identified with Carlin-Type Gold deposits. The limestone is intensely silicified and is locally jasperoidal.


This intense alteration was observed to occur in the footwall of a low angle, reverse fault. This is a typical location for the deposition of Carlin-Type mineralization as ore bearing fluids tend to pond or be trapped beneath impermeable rocks or clays associated with these faults.


Stratigraphy


The rocks composing the Tombstone district range from pre-Cambrian to Quaternary in age.


The oldest rock in the district is a fine-grained, greenish-grey schist, evidently pre-Cambrian and correlated with the Pinal schist of Bisbee. Granitic and porphyritic rocks that have been tentatively aged as pre-Cambrian intrude the Pinal schist.


The Bolsa quartzite lies unconformably over the pre-Cambrian, and locally is about 450 feet thick. This is succeeded by about 700 feet of the Cambrian Abrigo Limestone. Overlying the Abrigo is 350 feet of the Devonian Martin Limestone, followed by the Mississippian Escabrosa Limestone of about 500 feet thickness.



20




The Escabrosa Limestone is not easily distinguishable from the overlying Naco Limestone of Pennsylvanian and Permian age. Up to 3,000 feet of Naco Limestone is known. The Naco Limestone, intruded by dikes and sills of quartz latite porphyry, possibly erupted prior to deposition of the Mesozoic sedimentary units.


Unconformably overlying the Naco is the Bisbee group consisting of conglomerate, sandstone, quartzite, shale and limestone. Fossils in these beds indicate a Mesozoic age. The thickness of the Bisbee group is unknown.  Following the deposition of sediments, The Schieffelin granite and the Uncle Sam porphyry were emplaced.


Last emplaced were the porphyritic andesite dikes, which occupy the NE trending shear zone structures.


Description of Claims


Our Tombstone Property consists of over 300 contiguous mineral claims. The Company owns a 100% interest in all of these mineral claims.


Permitting


Preparation of the Arizona Department of Water Resources Notice of Intent to Drill and Abandon an Exploration/Specialty Well permit documents is complete.  


Development Strategy & Plan of Operations for the Next Twelve Months


The Company’s development strategy is to focus on and solidity the fundamental keys to success for a junior exploration and mining concern.  These keys were identified in the Industry discussion.


1.

Property holdings and potential.


Plan:  Continue geological analyses including mapping, and identification of drill targets. Focus on these targets for drilling, sampling and identifying potential reserves.  Expand target areas as drilling progresses and studies expand knowledge of properties.


2.

Location


Plan:  The Company’s property location in a known metal and mineral rich area with easy access, historical production, mining friendly community and ease of permitting puts Pure Capital in position for success.  The Company will continue to identify areas on the property for mill site operation, improve off-road access and work closely with the city of Tombstone and the community at large to offer employment opportunities.  The Company will also interface with the state levels in Arizona to establish itself as a significant contributor to the state economy.


3.

Metal diversity


Plan:   A significant number of metals and minerals have already been identified on the company property including silver and gold, as identified in the geological report.  The Company, with the help of consulting organizations, will further explore the range of metals and minerals, and the ability to extract/produce product for market.  In the non precious metals areas, the Company will likely seek joint venture partners who will add to the success and financial returns for our shareholders.


4.

Cost of development and operation


Plan:  The Company will establish a small production operation as soon a permitting is obtained, to begin silver and gold production with material from existing known sites.  As drill targets identify key areas for metal bearing ore, the operation will be expanded to two large scale mill sites.  The Company firmly believes from the geological report, sampling and historical production in the area, that a low cost / high profit operation will be developed.

ITEM 4A - Unresolved Staff Comments


This item is not applicable as we are not an accelerated filer or a large accelerated filer or a well-seasoned issuer.


ITEM 5.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects


The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included in this Report. Our financial statements included in this Report were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.


A.      Operating Results


Our results of operations have been, and may continue to be, affected by many factors of a global nature, including economic and market conditions, the availability of capital, the level and volatility of prices and interest rates, currency values, commodities prices and other market indices, technological changes, the availability of credit, inflation and legislative and regulatory developments. Factors of a local nature, which include the political, social, financial and economic stability, the availability of capital, technology, workers, engineers and management, geological factors and weather conditions, also affect our results of operations. See “Key Information – Risk Factors”. As a result of the economic and competitive factors discussed above, our results of operations may vary significantly from period to period.



23



Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006


For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we did not receive any revenue from various mining claims and properties.


During the year ended December 31, 2007 we had a net loss of $1,423,548 ($0.07 per share) compared to $693,625 ($0.10 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our general and administrative expenses for 2007 were $1,210,130, compared to $72,391the prior year.


Professional fees of $19,217 in 2007 were incurred, compared to $25,792 the previous year.


B.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since our incorporation, we have financed our operations almost exclusively through the sale of our common shares to investors. As we are now focusing on mining exploration with no producing resource properties, we do not generate operating income or cash flow from our business operations. Until a significant body of ore is found, our working capital requirements are not significant, and we expect to continue to finance operations through the sale of equity in fiscal 2008. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in arranging financing on acceptable terms.


To a significant extent, our ability to raise capital is affected by trends and uncertainties beyond our control. These include the market prices for base and precious metals and results from our exploration programs. Our ability to attain our business objectives may be significantly impaired if prices for metals such as gold and uranium fall or if results from our intended exploration programs on our properties are unsuccessful.


At December 31, 2007, we had cash on hand of $252,718; liabilities consisted of accounts payable and related party payables totaling $122,199. Amounts for the comparable period of 2006 were $42,981 and $81,227 representing cash on hand and liabilities consisting of accounts payable.


Authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of voting common shares as of the date of filing of this filing, 34,110,864 common shares are issued and outstanding.


Application of Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with applicable generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.


Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the probable future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to our financial statements included in this Report.


C.      Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.


We do not currently, and did not previously, have research and development policies in place. Over the past three fiscal years, we have not expended any material amounts on research or development.


D.     

Trend Information


Our business is the exploration for and development of mineral deposits, so the commodity price of precious metals has a direct impact on our revenue prospects and our ability to raise capital. Although there is no assurance that this trend will continue, management is optimistic that the current price level will continue for the foreseeable future.


E.     

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resource that is material to investors.



24



F.     

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations


We do not have any contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2006 that will require significant cash outlays in the future.


G.

Safe Harbor

Board Practices


All of the directors of the Company are elected annually by the shareholders and hold office until the next annual general meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, unless they sooner resign or cease to be directors in accordance with the Registrant's Articles. The Company's last annual regular general meeting was held on September 6, 2001. The Company's executive officers are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.


Members of the Board of Directors are elected by the holders of the Company's shares to represent the interests of all shareholders. The Board of Directors meets periodically to review significant developments affecting the Company and to act on matters requiring Board approval. Although the Board of Directors delegates many matters to others, it reserves certain powers and functions to itself. The only standing committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors currently consists of Colleen Garner and Alan Brown. This committee is directed to review the scope, cost and results of the independent audit of the Company's books and records, the results of the annual audit with management and the adequacy of the Company's accounting, financial and operating controls; to recommend annually to the Board of Directors the selection of the independent auditors; to consider proposals made by the Company's independent auditors for consulting work; and to report to the Board of Directors, when so requested, on any accounting or financial matters. The Company does not have an Executive Committee.

Articles of Incorporation & By-Laws

 

Directors


A director who is, in any way, directly or indirectly interested in a proposed contract or transaction with shall disclose the nature and extent of his interest at a meeting of the directors in accordance with the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”). A director shall not vote in respect of any contract or transaction with our company in which he is interested, and any such proposed contract or transaction shall be referred to the Board of Directors or shareholders for approval even if such contract or transaction is one that the ordinary course of the Company's business would not require approval by the Board of Directors or shareholders.


(1)  

Subject to the provisions of any unanimous shareholder agreement, the remuneration of the directors may from time to time be determined by the directors themselves, and such remuneration may be in addition to any reimbursement for travel and other expenses.

 

 

(2)  

The directors may, at their discretion and subject to the provisions of any unanimous shareholder agreement or By-Laws or the CBCA, authorize the Company to borrow any sum of money or incur indebtedness for the purpose of the Company and may raise or secure the repayment of such sum of money in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as the directors think fit.


(3)  

There are no provisions with respect to the retirement of a director or the non-retirement of a director under an age requirement.

 

 

(4)  

A director is not required to hold a share in the capital of our Company as qualification for his office.


With respect to the above noted matters, there are generally no significant differences between Canadian and U.S. law.



28



Objects and Purposes of the Company


Our Articles of Incorporation place no restrictions upon our objects and purposes.


Rights, Preference and Restrictions


Common Shares


All of the authorized common shares of the Company, once issued, rank equally as to dividends, voting powers, and participation in assets. Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each common share held of record on all matters to be acted upon by the shareholders. Holders of common shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors, in its discretion, out of funds legally available therefore. The Company's By-Laws do not provide for cumulative voting.


Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of common shares are entitled to receive pro rata our assets, if any, remaining after payments of all debts and liabilities. No common shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights and no provisions for redemption or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds. There are no restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of common shares by our company while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments.


With respect to the rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to the Company's common shares, there are generally no significant differences between Canadian and United States law as the board of directors, or the applicable corporate statute, will determine the rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of a company's shares.


Changes to Common Shares


Provisions as to the modification, amendment or variation of the rights attaching to the common shares are contained in the CBCA. The CBCA requires approval by a special resolution (i.e. approved by at least two-thirds of then votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders of our company or consented to in writing by each of our shareholders) of our company's shareholders in order to effect any of the following changes:


(1)

change any maximum number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue;


(2)

create new classes of shares;


(3)

reduce or increase its stated capital, if its stated capital is set out in the articles;


(4)

change the designation of all or any of its shares and add, change or remove any rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions, including rights to accrued dividends, in respect of all or any of its shares, whether issued or unissued;


(5)

change the shares of any class or series, whether issued or unissued, into a different number of shares of the same class or series or into the same or a different number of shares of other classes or series;


(6)

divide a class of shares, whether issued or unissued, into series and fix the number of shares in each series and the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions thereof;


(7)

authorize the directors to divide any class of unissued shares into series and fix the number of shares in each series and the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions thereof;


(8)

authorize the directors to change the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to unissued shares of any series;


(9)

revoke, diminish or enlarge any authority conferred under paragraphs (g) and (h); and


(10)

add, change or remove restrictions on the issue, transfer or ownership of shares.



29



Generally, there are no significant differences between Canadian and United States law with respect to changing the rights of shareholders as most state corporation statutes require shareholder approval (usually a majority) for any such changes that affect the rights of shareholders.


Annual General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings


Annual General Meetings (an “AGM”) must be held once every fiscal year, within 15 months of the previous AGM. If the Company fails to hold an AGM, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may, on the application of a director or shareholder of the Company, call or direct an AGM. Under the CBCA, we must give our shareholders written notice of an AGM not less than 21 days before the AGM is to be held.


Our directors may, whenever they think fit, convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (an “EGM”).


An AGM or EGM may also be requisitioned by one or more shareholders of our company so long as such shareholders own not less than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares at the date such shareholders requisition an EGM. After receiving such requisition, our directors must within 21 days call the meeting.


All shareholders entitled to attend and vote at an AGM or an EGM will be admitted to the meeting.


Most state corporation statutes require a public company to hold an annual meeting for the election of directors and for the consideration of other appropriate matters. The state statutes also include general provisions relating to shareholder voting’s and meetings. Apart from the timing of when an AGM must be held and the percentage of shareholders required to call a AGM or EGM, there are generally no material differences between Canadian and United States law respecting AGMs and EGMs.


Rights to Own Securities


There are no limitations on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights.


Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations under the applicable laws of Canada or by the Company's charter or other constituent documents of the Company on the right of foreigners to hold or vote common shares or other securities of the Company.


The Investment Canada Act will prohibit implementation, or if necessary, require divestiture of an investment deemed “reviewable” under the Investment Canada Act by an investor that is not a “Canadian” as defined in the Investment Canada Act (a “non-Canadian”), unless after review the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act (“the Minister”) is satisfied that the “reviewable” investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in our common shares by a non-Canadian would be reviewable under the Investment Canada Act if it was an investment to acquire control of our company and the value of our assets was $5 million or more. A non-Canadian would be deemed to acquire control of our company for the purposes of the Investment Canada Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of our outstanding common shares (or less than a majority but controlled our company in fact through the ownership of one-third or more of our outstanding common shares) unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, our company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of such common shares. Certain transactions in relation to our common shares would be exempt from review under the Investment Canada Act, including, among others, the following:


 

(1)

acquisition of common shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities;

 

 

 

 

(2)

acquisition of control of our company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Canada Act; and


 

(3)

acquisition of control of our company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control of our company, through the ownership of voting interests, remains unchanged.




30



The Investment Canada Act was amended with the World Trade Organization Agreement to provide for special review thresholds for “WTO Investors” of countries belonging to the World Trade Organization, among others, nationals and permanent residents (including “WTO Investor controlled entities” as defined in the Investment Canada Act). Under the Investment Canada Act, as amended, an investment in our common shares by WTO Investors would be reviewable only if it was an investment to acquire control of our company and the value of our assets was equal to or greater than a specified amount (the “Review Threshold”), which published by the Minister after its determination for any particular year. The Review Threshold is currently $192 million for the year 2000.


Change in Control


There are no provisions in the Company's By-Laws that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company.


The CBCA does not contain any provisions that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company. Generally, there are no significant differences between Canadian and United States law in this regard, as many state corporation statutes also do not contain such provisions and only empower a company's board of directors to adopt such provisions.


Ownership Threshold


There are no provisions in our Articles or Bylaws or in the CBCA governing the threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. The Securities Act (British Columbia) requires that the Company disclose, in its annual general meeting proxy statement, holders who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares. Most state corporation statutes do not contain provisions governing the threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. United States federal securities laws require a company to disclose, in its Annual Report of Form 20-F, holders who own more than 5% of a company's issued and outstanding shares.


Changes in the Capital of our Company


There are no conditions imposed by our By-Laws which are more stringent than those required by the CBCA.

(10)

On December 20, 2006, Pure Capital Incorporated, a Canadian Federal corporation (the “Company”), closed a series of financing transactions pursuant to various Stock Purchase Agreements (“Stock Purchase Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements, each purchaser (the “Purchasers”) in consideration for the capital contribution (“Contribution”) may immediately convert the full amount of the Contribution to shares of the Company’s no par value common stock at a conversion rate of $0.10 per share. The Company shall issue shares converted under the Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), as amended and Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The shares issued to the Purchasers shall not be registered, at the time of issuance, and may not be offered or sold absent registration, or an applicable exemption from registration, under the Act.


A summary of each financing transaction is set forth below:


(i)

John Doria invested $10,000 in exchange for 100,000 shares of common stock;


(ii)

Nicholas Scheidt invested $10,000 in exchange for 100,000 shares of common stock;

Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share of common stock of the Company at $0.40 per warrant share for a period of three years. The Company believes that the issuances are exempt from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), as such securities were issued to the individuals/entities through an offshore transaction which was negotiated and consummated outside of the United States.


(15)

On December 31, 2007, the Company received an advance of $90,578 form a shareholder, this amount is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon demand.

Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share of common stock of the Company at $0.40 per warrant share for a period of three years. The Company believes that the issuances are exempt from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), as such securities were issued to the individuals/entities through an offshore transaction which was negotiated and consummated outside of the United States.

D.

Exchange Controls


Except as discussed in Item E below, the Company is not aware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-Canadian holders of Common Shares. The Company is not aware of any limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote Common Shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the Company.


The Investment Canada Act (the “Act”) governs acquisitions of Canadian business by a non-Canadian person or entity. The Act provides, among other things, for a review of an investment in the event of acquisition of control in certain Canadian businesses in the following circumstances:


 

(1)

if the investor is a non-Canadian and is not a resident of a World Trade Organization (“WTO”) country, any direct acquisition having an asset value exceeding $5,000,000 and any indirect acquisition having an asset value exceeding $50,000,000;


 

(2)

if the investor is a non-Canadian and is a resident of a WTO member, any direct acquisition having an asset value exceeding $168,000,000, unless the business is involved in uranium production, financial services, transportation services or a cultural business.


An indirect acquisition of control by an investor who is a resident of a WTO country is not reviewable unless the value of the assets of the business located in Canada represents more than 50% of the asset value of the transaction, or the business is involved in uranium production, financial services, transportation services or a cultural business. The United States has been a member of the WTO since January 1, 1995.


The Act provides that a non-Canadian investor can hold up to 1/3 of the issued and outstanding capital of a Canadian corporation without being deemed a “control person”, and that a non-Canadian investor holding greater than 1/3 but less than 2 of the issued and outstanding capital of a Canadian corporation is deemed to be a control person subject to a reputable presumption to the contrary (i.e. providing evidence of another control person or control group holding a greater number of shares).


The Act requires notification where a non-Canadian acquires control, directly or indirectly, of a Canadian business with assets under the thresholds for reviewable transaction. The notification process consists of filing a notification within 30 days following the implementation of an investment.


E.     

Taxation


Canadian Federal Income Taxation


We consider that the following summary fairly describes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of our common shares who at all material times deals at arm’s length with our company, who holds all common shares as capital property, who is resident in the United States, who is not a resident of Canada and who does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his common shares of our company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “non-resident holder”). It is assumed that the common shares will at all material times be listed on a stock exchange that is prescribed for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) and regulations thereunder. Investors should be aware that the Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to holders of our common shares will change if, for any reason, we cease to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of them purchasing, owing and disposing of our common shares should we cease to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange.


This summary is based upon the current provisions of the ITA, the regulations thereunder, the Canada-United States Tax Convention as amended by the Protocols thereto (the “Treaty”) as at the date of this Report and the currently publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (the “CCRA”). This summary does not take into account Canadian provincial income tax consequences. This description is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences and does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action. This summary does, however, take into account all specific proposals to amend the ITA and regulations thereunder, publicly announced by the Government of Canada to the date hereof.


This summary does not address potential tax effects relevant to our company or those tax considerations that depend upon circumstances specific to each investor. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares in our company.



33



Dividends


The ITA provides that dividends and other distributions deemed to be dividends paid or deemed to be paid by a Canadian resident corporation (such as our company) to a non-resident of Canada shall be subject to a non-resident withholding tax equal to 25% of the gross amount of the dividend of deemed dividend. Provisions in the ITA relating to dividend and deemed dividend payments to and gains realized by non-residents of Canada, who are residents of the United States, are subject to the Treaty. The Treaty may reduce the withholding tax rate on dividends as discussed below.


Article X of the Treaty as amended by the US-Canada Protocol ratified on November 9, 1995 provides a 5% withholding tax on gross dividends or deemed dividends paid to a United States corporation which beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the company paying the dividend. In cases where dividends or deemed dividends are paid to a United States resident (other than a corporation) or a United States corporation which beneficially owns less than 10% of the voting stock of a company, a withholding tax of 15% is imposed on the gross amount of the dividend or deemed dividend paid. We would be required to withhold any such tax from the dividend and remit the tax directly to CCRA for the account of the investor.

The reduction in withholding tax from 25%, pursuant to the Treaty, will not be available:


 

(a)

if the shares in respect of which the dividends are paid formed part of the business property or were otherwise effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed base that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition, or

 

 

 

 

(b)

the holder is a U.S. LLC which is not subject to tax in the U.S.


The Treaty generally exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization exclusively administering a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is resident in the U.S. and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the U.S.


Capital Gains


A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of one of our shares unless the share represents “taxable Canadian property” to the holder thereof. Our common shares will be considered taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder only if-.


 

(a)

the non-resident holder;

 

 

 

 

(b)

persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arm’s length- or

 

 

 

 

(c)

the non-resident holder and persons with whom he did not deal at arm’s length,


owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of our company at any time during the five year period preceding the disposition. In the case of a non-resident holder to whom shares of our company represent taxable Canadian property and who is resident in the United States, no Canadian taxes will generally be payable on a capital gain realized on such shares by reason of the Treaty unless:


 

(a)

the value of such shares is derived principally from real property (including resource property) situated in Canada,

 

 

 

 

(b)

the holder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he ceased to be a resident of Canada,


 

(c)

they formed part of the business property or were otherwise effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed base that the holder has or bad in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition, or

 

 

 

 

(d)

the holder is a U.S. LLC which is not subject to tax in the U.S.


If subject to Canadian tax on such a disposition, the taxpayer’s capital gain (or capital loss) from a disposition is the amount by which the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the taxpayer’s adjusted cost base of the shares and reasonable expenses of disposition. For Canadian income tax purposes, the “taxable capital gain” is equal to one-half of the capital gain.



34



United States Federal Income Taxation


The following is a discussion of the material United States Federal income tax consequences, under current law, applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of our common shares who holds such shares as capital assets. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant Federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local, or foreign tax consequences. (See “Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences” above.)


The following discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. In addition, this discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.


The discussion below does not address potential tax effects relevant to our company or those tax considerations that depend upon circumstances specific to each investor. In addition, this discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular investors subject to special treatment under certain U.S. Federal income tax laws, such as, dealers in securities, tax-exempt entities, banks, insurance companies and non-U.S. Holders. Purchasers of the common stock should therefore satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences of their ownership of the common stock, including the State, local and foreign tax consequences thereof (which are not reviewed herein), and should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.


U.S. Holders


As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” includes a beneficial holder of common shares of our company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any trust if a US court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more US persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, any entity created or organized in the United States which is taxable as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of common shares of our company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of our common shares is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and shareholders who acquired their shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.


Dividend Distribution on Shares of our Company


U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to the common shares of our company are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be deducted or may be credited against actual tax payable, subject to certain limitations and other complex rules, against the U.S. Holder’s United States Federal taxable income. See “Foreign Tax Credit” below. To the extent that distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholder’s basis in the common shares of our company and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares of our company. Preferential tax rates for net long term capital gains may be applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust.


In general, dividends paid on our common shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.



35




Foreign Tax Credit


A U.S. Holder who pays (or who has had withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of our common shares may be entitled, at the election of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign income taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s foreign source income bears to his or its world-wide taxable income. In determining the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern income such as “passive income”, “high withholding tax interest”, “financial services income”, “shipping income” and certain other classifications of income. A U.S. Holder who is treated as a domestic U.S. corporation owning 10% or more of our voting stock is also entitled to a deemed paid foreign tax credit in certain circumstances for the underlying foreign tax of our company related to dividends received or Subpart F income received from us. (See the discussion below of Controlled Foreign Corporations). The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the foreign tax credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.


Disposition of Common Shares


If a “U.S. Holder” is holding shares as a capital asset, a gain or loss realized on a sale of our common shares will generally be a capital gain or loss, and will be long-term if the shareholder has a holding period of more than one year. However, gains realized upon sale of our common shares may, under certain circumstances, be treated as ordinary income, if we were determined to be a “collapsible corporation” within the meaning of Code Section 341 based on the facts in existence on the date of the sale (See below for definition of “collapsible corporation”). The amount of gain or loss recognized by a selling U.S. Holder will be measured by the difference between (i) the amount realized on the sale and (ii) his tax basis in our common shares. Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains. However, in the case of taxpayers other than corporations (U.S.)$3,000 ($1,500 for married individuals filing separately) of capital losses are deductible against ordinary income annually. In the case of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers, capital losses that are not currently deductible may be carried forward to other years. In the case of corporations, capital losses that are not currently deductible are carried back to each of the three years preceding the loss year and forward to each of the five years succeeding the loss year.


A “collapsible corporation” is a corporation that is formed or availed principally to manufacture, construct, produce, or purchase prescribed types or property that the corporation holds for less than three years and that generally would produce ordinary income on its disposition, with a view to the stockholders selling or exchanging their stock and thus realizing gain before the corporation realizes two thirds of the taxable income to be derived from prescribed property. Prescribed property includes: stock in trade and inventory; property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business; unrealized receivables or fees, consisting of rights to payment for noncapital assets delivered or to be delivered, or services rendered or to be rendered to the extent not previously included in income, but excluding receivables from selling property that is not prescribed; and property gain on the sale of which is subject to the capital gain/ordinary loss rule. Generally, a shareholder who owns directly or indirectly 5 percent or less of the outstanding stock of the corporation may treat gain on the sale of his shares as capital gain.


Other Considerations for U.S. Holders


In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares of the Registrant. Our management is of the opinion that there is little, if not, any likelihood that we will be deemed a “Foreign Personal Holding Company”, a “Foreign Investment Company” or a “Controlled Foreign Corporation” (each as defined below) under current and anticipated conditions.


Foreign Personal Holding Company


If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares is owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% or more of our gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), we would be treated as a “foreign personal holding company.” In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares in our capital would be required to include in income for such year their allocable portion of our passive income which would have been treated as a dividend had that passive income actually been distributed.



36



Foreign Investment Company


If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of our outstanding shares are held, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and we are found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that we might be treated as a “foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging our common shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.


Controlled Foreign Corporation Status


If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or the total value of the stock of our company is owned, directly or indirectly, by U.S. Holders, each of whom own after applying rules of attribution 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of our company, we would be treated as a “controlled foreign corporation” or “CFC” under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would bring into effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such 10% U.S. Holders in income of their pro rata shares of “Subpart F income” (as defined by the Code) of our company and our earnings invested in “U.S. property” (as defined by Section 956 of the Code). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code if we are considered a CFC at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange of its stock, gain from the sale or exchange of common shares of our company by such a 10% U.S. Holder of our common stock at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to the stock sold or exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because we may never be a CFC, a more detailed review of these rules is beyond of the scope of this discussion.



ALL PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING THE COMMON SHARES OF OUR COMPANY.

Item 11.

Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Our Tombstone Property is currently at the exploration stage and our operations are limited to exploring the Tombstone Property. Therefore, our market risks are minimal. We may, however, have future property exploration requirements due in currencies other than United States dollars. As a Canadian company, our cash balances are kept in Canadian funds, and then converted to United States funds for accounting purposes. Therefore, we may become exposed to some interest rate risks. We consider the amount of risk to be manageable and do not currently, nor will we likely in the foreseeable future, conduct hedging to reduce our market risks.

Controls and Procedures


The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.


The Company’s executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have established and maintained disclosure controls and procedures for the Company in order to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to it in a timely manner, particularly during the period in which the annual filings are being prepared.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors

Tombstone Exploration Corporation

(An Exploration Stage Company)



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tombstone Exploration Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and since inception of the Exploration Stage on January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2007. 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 audits.  


We conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tombstone Exploration Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and since inception of the Exploration Stage on January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally 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 6 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,268,682 as of December 31, 2007, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 6.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TOMBSTONE EXPLORATION CORPORATION

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006



1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Business


Tombstone Exploration Corporation (the Company) was incorporated under the Canada Business Incorporations Act and all of its operations are located in Canada. On January 1, 2002, the Company was reclassified as an exploration stage corporation for the purpose of acquiring mineral and mining properties, and as a joint venture partner with similar companies.  During fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Company changed its name to Tombstone Exploration Corporation from Pure Capital, Inc.


On January 17, 2007, the Company became the parent of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tombstone Exploration and Mining Corporation and the financial statements presented are the consolidated statements of the parent (Tombstone Exploration Corporation) and the subsidiary (Tombstone Exploration and Mining Corporation). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Basic (Loss) per Common Share


Basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2007.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


Income Taxes


The Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The Company’s predecessor operated as entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes.


SFAS No. 109 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 39% to net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of $1,637,243 for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Continued)


loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.


Accounting Basis


The basis is accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.


Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s operations are located in Vancouver, Canada and its functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The financial statements have been translated using the current method whereby the assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rate, capital accounts at the historical exchange rate and revenues and expenses at the average rate for the period. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.


Stock-based compensation.


As of December 31, 2007, the Company has not issued any share-based payments to its employees.


The Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1,2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123-R.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 157 would have on the financial statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 gives the irrevocable option to carry many financial assets and liabilities at fair values, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective beginning January 1, 2008, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)


The FASB has revised SFAS No. 141.  This revised statement establishes uniform treatment for all acquisitions. It defines the acquiring company.  The statement further requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, measured at their fair market values as of that date.  It requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquired, at the full amounts of their fair values. This changes the way that minority interest is recorded and modified as a parent’s interest in a subsidiary changes over time.  This statement also makes corresponding significant amendments to other standards that related to business combinations, namely, 109, 142 and various EITF’s. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company believes the implementation of this standard will have no effect on our financial statements

GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $9,268,682 as of December 31, 2007.  The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.  


Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
