Before this offering, there has been no public market for the common stock. In the event that we sell at least the minimum number of shares in this offering, of which there is no assurance, we intend to have the shares of common stock quoted on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. There is, however, no assurance that the shares will ever be quoted on the Bulletin Board.

In the event that 1,000,000 shares are not sold within the 270 days, all money received by us will be promptly returned to you without interest or deduction of any kind.

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock. We discuss all material risks in the risk factors.
Risks associated with GOLDEN STAR RESOURCE CORP.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. If we do not raise at least the minimum amount from our offering, we will have to suspend or cease operations within twelve months.
Our plan of operation and the funds we raise from this offering will be used for exploration of the property to determine if there is an ore body beneath the surface. Exploration does not contemplate removal of the ore. We have no plans or funds for ore removal. Accordingly, we will not generate any revenues as a result of your investment.
The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. In all probability the property does not contain any reserves. As such, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which result in a loss of your investment.
-6-
Table of Contents
We were incorporated on April 21, 2006, and we have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since inception is $10,440. To achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow we are dependent upon:
* |
our ability to locate a profitable mineral property |
* |
our ability to generate revenues |
* |
our ability to reduce exploration costs. |
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our mineral properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease operations.
Because our management is inexperienced with exploring for, starting, and operating an exploration program, we will have to hire qualified persons to perform surveying, exploration, and excavation of the property. Our management has no direct training or experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches, mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry. As a result we may have to suspend or cease operations which will result in the loss of your investment.
Record title to the property upon which we intend to conduct exploration activities is not held in our name. Record title to the property is recorded in the name of Glengarry Developments Inc. If it transfers the property to a third person, the third person will obtain good title and we will have nothing. If that happens we will be harmed in that we will not own any property and we will have to cease operations. Under British Columbia law title to British Columbia mining claims can only be held by British Columbia residents. In the case of corporations, title must be held by a British Columbia corporation. In order for us to own record title to the property, we would have to incorporate a British Columbia wholly owned subsidiary corporation and obtain audited financial statements. We believe those costs would be a waste of our money at this time since the legal costs of incorporating a subsidiary corporation, the accounting costs of audited financial statements for the subsidiary corporation, together with the legal and accounting costs of expanding this registration statement would cost several thousands of dollars. Accordingly, we have elected not to create the subsidiary at this time, but will do so if mineralized material is discovered on the property.
-7-
Table of Contents
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, an existing ore body may go undiscovered. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
Our proposed exploration work can only be performed approximately five to six months out of the year. This is because rain and snow cause the roads leading to our claims to be impassible during six to seven months of the year. When roads are impassible, we are unable to conduct exploration operations on the property which will delay the generation of possible revenues by us.
Because Mr. Livgard and Ms. MacDonald, our officers and directors, have other outside business activities, they will only be devoting 10% of their time, or four hours per week, to our operations. As a result, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to Mr. Livgard and Ms. MacDonald. As a result, exploration of the property may be periodically interrupted or suspended.
Risks associated with this offering:
We have two officers and directors. We are entirely dependent upon them to conduct our operations. If they should resign or die there will be no one to run us. Further, we do not have key man insurance. If that should occur, until we find others person to run us, our operations will be suspended or cease entirely. In that event it is possible you could lose your entire investment.
There is no escrow, trust or similar account in which your subscription will be deposited. It will only be deposited in a separate bank account under our name. Only our officers and directors will have access to the account. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the offering. You will only receive your funds back if we do not raise the minimum amount of the offering within the 180 day period, an additional 90 days if extended by us. As a result, if we are sued for any reason and a judgment is rendered against us, your subscription could be seized in a garnishment proceeding. If we file a voluntary bankruptcy petition or our creditors file an involuntary bankruptcy petition, our assets will be seized by the bankruptcy trustee, including your subscription, and used to pay our creditors. If that happens, you will lose your investment, even if we fail to raise the minimum amount in this offering.
-8-
Table of Contents
Our officers and directors will receive a substantial benefit from your investment. They supplied the property, paid expenses and made a loan all of which totaled $20,760. You, on the other hand, will be providing all of the cash for our operations. As a result, if we cease operations for any reason, you will lose your investment while our officers and directors will lose only approximately $20,760.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale, of which there is no assurance. As a result, your investment is illiquid.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Our offering is being made on a $100,000 minimum $200,000 maximum self-underwritten basis. The table below sets forth the use of proceeds if 50%, 75% and 100% of the offering is sold.

Table of Contents
Exploration expenditures consist of fees to be paid for consulting services connected with exploration, the cost of core drilling, and cost of analyzing core samples. We are not going to spend any sums of money or implement our exploration program until this offering is completed. We have not begun exploration. Consulting fees will not be more than $5,000 per month. We have not selected or identified a consultant at this time. We will not do so until we have completed this offering. Our consultant in consultation with our officers will supervise and contract for our exploration operations through independent contractors. Core drilling will cost $20.00 per foot. We drill as many holes as proceeds from the offering allow. We estimate drilling approximately 8 holes if we raise the minimum; 18 holes if we raise 62.50% of the proceeds; and, 28 holes if we raise the maximum. We estimate it will cost up to $3,000 to analyze the core samples.
In addition we have allocated funds for telephone service, mail, stationary, accounting, acquisition of office equipment and supplies, and the salary of one secretary, assuming the maximum number of shares are sold, if needed.
We have allocated a wide range of money for exploration. That is because we do not know how much will ultimately be needed for exploration. If we discover significant quantities of mineral, we will begin technical and economic feasibility studies to determine if we have reserves. Only after we have reserves will we consider developing the property.
No proceeds from the offering will be paid to officers and directors.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $200,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the factors considered were:
* |
our lack of operating history |
* |
the proceeds to be raised by the offering |
* |
the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing Stockholders, and |
* |
our relative cash requirements. |
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.
-10-
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2006, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was a deficit of $10,380 or approximately $0.002 per share based upon 6,000,000 shares outstanding.
If 2,000,000 Shares or 100% of the Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 8,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $189,620 or approximately $0.23 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.25 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.023 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 25% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $200,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 75% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $60, or approximately $0.00001 per share.
If 1,500,000 Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 1,500,000 shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the shares to be outstanding will be $139,620, or approximately $0.018 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.020 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.018 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,500,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 20% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $150,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 80% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $60, or approximately $0.00001 per share.
If 1,000,000 Shares or the Minimum Number of Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event the minimum number of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 7,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $89,620, or approximately $0.012 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.014 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.012 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 14.29% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $100,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 85.71% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $60, or approximately $0.00001 per share.

The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a dealers "spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. While Section 15g and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to broker/dealers, they do not apply to us.

Table of Contents
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Again, the foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner whatsoever. Again, the application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares because many brokers are unwilling to buy, sell or trade penny stocks as a result of the additional sales practices imposed upon them which are described in this section.

BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 2006. We are an exploration stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search from mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. We intend to conduct exploration activities on one property. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at The Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511 and our business office is located at 850 West Hastings Street, Suite 201, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1E1. This is our mailing address as well. Our telephone number is (604) 689-9661. Ms. MacDonald, our secretary/treasurer supplies this office space on a rent-free basis.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the property and further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility is determined.
We have no plans to change its business activities or to combine with another business, and is not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause its plans to change.
Background
We paid Glengarry Developments Inc., a non affiliated third party, $10,000 for fourteen mining claims.
We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion and rely upon the sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund operations.
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause us to change our plans.
Canadian jurisdictions allow a mineral explorer to claim a portion of available Crown lands as its exclusive area for exploration. We paid Glengarry Developments $10,000 for the property. No additional payments were made or are due Glengarry Developments Inc. for his services. The claims were recorded in Glengarry Development's name to avoid incurring additional costs at this time. The additional fees would be for incorporation of a British Columbia corporation and legal and accounting fees related to the incorporation. On May 9, 2006, Glengarry Developments Inc. executed a declaration of trust acknowledging that it holds the property in trust for us and it will not deal with the property in any way, except to transfer the property to us. In the event that Glengarry Developments Inc. transfers title to a third party, the declaration of trust will be used as evidence that he breached her fiduciary duty to us. Glengarry Developments Inc. has not provided us with a signed or executed bill of sale in our favor. Glengarry Developments Inc. will issue a bill of sale to a subsidiary corporation to be formed by us should mineralized material be discovered on the property. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal.

Table of Contents
Under British Columbia law title to British Columbia mining claims can only be held by British Columbia residents. In the case of corporations, title must be held by a British Columbia corporation. In order to comply with the law we would have to incorporate a British Columbia wholly owned subsidiary corporation and obtain audited financial statements. We believe those costs would be a waste of our money at this time.
In the event that we find mineralized material and the mineralized material can be economically extracted, we will form a wholly owned British Columbia subsidiary corporation and Glengarry Developments Inc. will convey title to the property to the wholly owned subsidiary corporation. Should Glengarry Developments Inc. transfer title to another person and that deed is recorded before we record our documents, that other person will have superior title and we will have none. If that event occurs, we will have to cease or suspend operations. However, Glengarry Developments Inc. will be liable to us for monetary damages for breaching the terms of its oral agreement with us to transfer its title to a subsidiary corporation we create. To date we have not performed any work on the property. All Canadian lands and minerals which have not been granted to private persons are owned by either the federal or provincial governments in the name of Her Majesty. Ungranted minerals are commonly known as Crown minerals. Ownership rights to Crown minerals are vested by the Canadian Constitution in the province where the minerals are located. In the case of the Company's property, that is the province of British Columbia.
In the 19 th century the practice of reserving the minerals from fee simple Crown grants was established. Legislation now ensures that minerals are reserved from Crown land dispositions. The result is that the Crown is the largest mineral owner in Canada, both as the fee simple owner of Crown lands and through mineral reservations in Crown grants. Most privately held mineral titles are acquired directly from the Crown. The Company's property is one such acquisition. Accordingly, fee simple title to the Company's property resides with the Crown.
The property is comprised of mining leases issued pursuant to the British Columbia Mineral Act. The lessee has exclusive rights to mine and recover all of the minerals contained within the surface boundaries of the lease continued vertically downward. The Crown does not have the right to reclaim provided at a minimum fee of CDN$100 is paid timely. The Crown could reclaim the property in an eminent domain proceeding, but would have to compensate the lessee for the value of the claim if it exercised the right of eminent domain. It is highly unlikely that the Crown will exercise the power of eminent domain. In general, where eminent domain has been exercised it has been in connection with incorporating the property into a provincial park.
The property is unencumbered and there are no competitive conditions which affect the property. Further, there is no insurance covering the property and we believe that no insurance is necessary since the property is unimproved and contains no buildings or improvements.
To date we have not performed any work on the property. We are presently in the exploration stage and we cannot guarantee that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in the property until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.
There are no native land claims that affect title to the property. We have no plans to interest other companies in the property if mineralization is found. If mineralization is found, we will try to develop the property ourselves.

In order to maintain these claims we must pay a fee of CND$100 per year per claim.
Location and Access
The group consists of three contiguous claims with tenure numbers 525537, 525538 and 525539 encompassing over 800 hectars. The claims are in the name of Glengarry Developments Inc. and are in good standing until January 15, 2007. The property lies in the Cariboo Mining division about 10 kilometers south of the village of Likely. Likely can be reached by 80 kilometers of paved road from Highway 97 and the property can be accessed by a 10 kilometer gravel road which crosses the property. It adjoins the south border of the Mount Polley Mine mineral tenures.
Physiography
The property lies on the east margin of the central interior plateau at an elevation of about 950 metres above sea level and the topography varies by less than 20 meters. Two lakes are found on and partly on the ground. The area is partly forest covered between grassy meadows. The ground may be snow covered for 6 months of the year. Several streams on the property drain generally southwesterly. Due to the low topography the are in part muddy.
Geology
The property covers rocks of the Quesnelia geological terrane, which is considered very favorable for porphyry copper-gold deposition. The rock types on the property have been mapped as Triassic volcanics consisting of (1). porphyritic alkali basalt locally brecciated and containing clasts of limestone (2) ash tuff (3). mafic debris flows with minor feldspathic clasts. The tree rock groups are interpreted as being separated by faults. Immediately north of the property these rock types have been intruded by alkali diorite - syenite.
History
There is no record or evidence of previous exploration or operations on the property.

Supplies
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, such as dynamite, and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials. We will attempt to locates products, equipment and materials after this offering is complete. If we cannot find the products and equipment we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products and equipment we need.

Description of Property
Other than our interest in the property, we own no plants or other property. With respect to the property, our right to conduct exploration activity is based upon our oral agreement with Glengarry Developments Inc. Under this oral agreement, Glengarry Developments Inc. has allowed us to conduct exploration activity on the property. Glengarry Developments Inc. holds the property in trust for us pursuant to a declaration of trust.
Our Proposed Exploration Program
Our exploration target is to find an ore body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the property contains reserves. We have not selected a consultant as of the date of this prospectus and will not do so until our offering is successfully completed, if that occurs, of which there is no assurance. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we don't find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.
In addition, we may not have enough money to complete our exploration of the property. If it turns out that we have not raised enough money to complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or loans. At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional money and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional money in the future. In we need additional money and cant raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
The property is undeveloped raw land. Exploration and surveying has not been initiated and will not be initiated until we raise money in this offering. That is because we do not have money to start exploration. Once the offering is concluded, we intend to start exploration operations. To our knowledge, the property has never been mined. The only event that has occurred is the acquisition of the property from Glengarry Developments Inc. and the physical examination of the property by Mr. Livgard, our president and a director. Before minerals retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We can't predict what that will be until we find mineralized material.
We do not know if we will find mineralized material. We believe that activities occurring on adjoining properties are not material to our activities. The reason is that what ever is located under adjoining property may or may not be located under the property.
We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the property.

Table of Contents
We intend to implement an exploration program which consists of core sampling. Core sampling is the process of drilling holes to a depth of up to 1,400 feet in order to extract a samples of earth. Mr. Livgard, after confirming with our consultant, will determine where drilling will occur on the property. Mr. Livgard will not receive fees for his services. The samples will be tested to determine if mineralized material is located on the property. Based upon the tests of the core samples, we will determine if we will terminate operations; proceed with additional exploration of the property; or develop the property. The proceeds from this offering are designed to only fund the costs of core sampling and testing. We intend to take our core samples to analytical chemists, geochemists and registered assayers located in Vancouver, British Columbia. We have not selected any of the foregoing as of the date of this prospectus. We will only make the selections in the event we raise the minimum amount of this offering.
We estimate the cost of drilling will be $20.00 per foot drilled. The amount of drilling will be predicated upon the amount of money raised in this offering. If we raise the minimum amount of money, we will drill approximately 3,000 linear feet or 8 holes to depth of 300 feet. Assuming that we raise the maximum amount of money, we will drill approximately 7,000 linear feet, or up to 28 holes to a depth of 300 feet. We estimate that it will take up to three months to drill 28 holes to a depth of 300 feet each. We will pay a consultant up to a maximum of $5,000 per month for his services during the three month period or a total of $15,000. The total cost for analyzing the core samples will be $3,000. We will begin exploration activity ninety days after this public offering is completed, weather permitting.
The breakdowns were made in consultation with Kathrine MacDonald, our secretary/treasurer.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves through the use of consultant. We have no plans to interest other companies in the property if we do not find mineralized material.
If we are unable to complete exploration because we do not have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we don't know what we will do and we don't have any plans to do anything else.
We cannot provide you with a more detailed discussion of how our exploration program will work and what we expect will be our likelihood of success. That is because we have a piece of raw land and we intend to look for mineralized material. We may or may not find any mineralized material. We hope we do, but it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such an event.
We do not have any plan to make our company to revenue generation. That is because we have not found economic mineralization yet and it is impossible to project revenue generation from nothing.
We anticipate starting exploration activity ninety days after this public offering is completed, weather permitting.

Competitive Factors
The gold mining industry is fragmented, that is there are many, many gold prospectors and producers, small and large. We do not compete with anyone. That is because there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from the property. We will either find gold on the property or not. If we do not, we will cease or suspend operations. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold mining market. Readily available gold markets exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of gold. Therefore, we will be able to sell any gold that we are able to recover.
Regulations
Our mineral exploration program is subject to the Canadian Mineral Tenure Act Regulation. This act sets forth rules for
* |
locating claims |
* |
posting claims |
* |
working claims |
* |
reporting work performed |
We are also subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration Code which tells us how and where we can explore for minerals. We must comply with these laws to operate our business. Compliance with these rules and regulations will not adversely affect our operations.
Environmental Law
We are also subject to the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia. This code deals with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. Its goals are to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting:
1. |
Health and Safety |
2. |
Archaeological Sites |
3. |
Exploration Access |
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the property.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development is warranted on the property, will file final plans of operation before we start any mining operations. We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.
-24-
Table of Contents
We are in compliance with the act and will continue to comply with the act in the future. We believe that compliance with the act will not adversely affect our business operations in the future.
Exploration stage companies have no need to discuss environmental matters, except as they relate to exploration activities. The only "cost and effect" of compliance with environmental regulations in British Columbia is returning the surface to its previous condition upon abandonment of the property. We believe the cost of reclaiming the property will be $750 if we drill 8 holes and $2,250 if we drill 23 holes. We have not allocated any funds for the reclamation of the property and the proceeds for the cost of reclamation will not be paid from the proceeds of the offering. Mr. Livgard has agreed to pay the cost of reclaiming the property should mineralized material not be discovered.
Employees
We intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no full-time employees. Our two officers and directors are part-time employees and each will devote about 10% of their time or four hours per week to our operation. Our officers and directors do not have employment agreements with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our officers and directors. Mr. Livgard will handle our administrative duties. Because our officers and directors are inexperienced with exploration, they will hire qualified persons to perform the surveying, exploration, and excavating of the property. As of today, we have not looked for or talked to any geologists or engineers who will perform work for us in the future. We do not intend to do so until we complete this offering.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward- looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking states are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or out predictions.
Plan of Operation
We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
-25-
Table of Contents
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach this point. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals found on the property. That cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. If we raise the minimum amount of money in this offering, we believe it will last twelve months.
We will be conducting research in the form of exploration of the property. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this prospectus. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months.
Our exploration target is to find an ore body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the property contains reserves. We have not selected a consultant as of the date of this prospectus and will not do so until our offering is successfully completed, if that occurs, of which there is no assurance.

No additional payments were made or are due Glengarry Developments Inc. for the property. The claims were recorded in Glengarry Developments Inc.'s name to avoid incurring additional costs at this time. The additional fees would be for incorporation of a British Columbia corporation and legal and accounting fees related to the incorporation. On May 9, 2006, Glengarry Developments Inc. executed a declaration of trust acknowledging that it holds the property in trust for us and it will not deal with the property in any way, except to transfer the property to us. In the event that Glengarry Developments Inc. transfers title to a third party, the declaration of trust will be used as evidence that it breached its fiduciary duty to us. Glengarry Developments Inc. has not provided us with a signed or executed bill of sale in our favor. Glengarry Developments Inc. will issue a bill of sale to a subsidiary corporation to be formed by

We can't predict what that will be until we find mineralized material. Glengarry Developments Inc. does not have a right to sell the property to anyone. It may only transfer the property to us. It may not demand payment for the claims when it transfers them to us. Further, Glengarry Developments Inc. does not have the right to sell the claims at a profit to us if mineralized material is discovered on the property. Glengarry Developments Inc. must transfer title to us, without payment of any kind, regardless of what is or is not discovered on the property.
We do not know if we will find mineralized material. We believe that activities occurring on adjoining properties are not material to our activities. The reason is that what ever is located under adjoining property may or may not be located under the property.

If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we don't have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we can't or don't raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we don't know what we will do and we don't have any plans to do anything.
We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conduct by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we conduct into the research and exploration of our properties before we start production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases. We believe that the funds raised from this offering, whether it be the minimum amount or the maximum amount, will allow us to operate for one year.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business. Whatever money we do raise, will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans. If we do not raise all of the money we need from this offering to complete our exploration of the property, we will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others.

We have discussed this matter with our officers and directors and Mr. Livgard has agreed to advance funds as needed until the public offering is completed or failed and has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation of the property should mineralized material not be found thereon. The foregoing agreement is oral, there is nothing in writing to evidence the same. While Mr. Livgard has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is unenforceable as a matter of law, since there is no consideration for the same. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering. If we need additional cash and can't raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Whether we raise the minimum amount or maximum amount, it will last a year. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
We acquired one property containing six claims. The property is staked and we will begin our exploration plan upon completion of this offering. We expect to start exploration operations within 90 days of completing this offering. As of the date of this prospectus we have yet to being operations and therefore we have yet to generate any revenues.
Since inception, we have issued 6,000,000 shares of our common stock and received $60.00.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have yet to begin operations and therefore have not generated any revenues.
In March 2006, we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Kathrine MacDonald, our secretary treasurer in consideration of $30.00 and we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Marilyn Miller, an individual, in consideration of $30.00 pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1993. This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares. Kathrine MacDonald advanced $20,760 to cover our costs for incorporation, accounting and legal fees and Mr. Livgard advanced the sum of $10,000.00 for staking all of which was paid directly to our staker, attorney and accountant. The amount owed to Ms. MacDonald and Mr. Livgard is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. Further the agreements with Ms. MacDonald and Mr. Livgard are oral and there is no written document evidencing the agreement.
As of June 30, 2006, our total assets were $10,380 and our total liabilities were $20,760.

Future Sales by Existing Stockholders
3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Dimac Capital Corp., a corporation owned and controlled by Kathrine MacDonald, one of our officers and directors in April 2006 and 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Marilyn Miller, an individual. The 6,000,000 shares are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Rule 144 provides that a person may not sell more than 1% of the total outstanding shares in any three month period and the sales must be sold either in a brokers' transaction or in a transaction directly with a market maker.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
A total of 6,000,000 shares of our stock are currently owned by one of our officers and directors and one individual. They will likely sell a portion of their stock if the market price goes above $0.10. If they do sell their stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.

Table of Contents
Because our officers and directors will control us after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold, your ability to cause a change in the course of our operations is eliminated. As such, the value attributable to the right to vote is gone. This could result in a reduction in value to the shares you own because of the ineffective voting power.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
* |
have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors; |
* |
are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; |
* |
do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and |
* |
are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote. |
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, present stockholders will own approximately 75% of our outstanding shares.
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. The terms of the preferred shares is at the discretion of the board of directors. Currently no preferred shares are issued and outstanding.

Anti-Takeover Provisions
There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in control. 78.378 through 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes relates to control share acquisitions that may delay to make more difficult acquisitions or changes in our control, however, they only apply when we have 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in the state of Nevada appearing on our stock ledger and we do business in this state directly or through an affiliated corporation. Neither of the foregoing events seems likely will occur. Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders and since this offering will not be made in the state of Nevada, no shares will be sold to Nevada residents. Further, we do not do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate corporation and we do not intend to do business in the state of Nevada in the future. Accordingly, there are no anti-takeover provisions that have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Directors of
Golden Star Resources Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Golden Star Resources Corporation (an exploration stage company) as of June 30, 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the period from inception, April 21, 2006 to June 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2006 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, has negative cash flows, has a stockholders' deficiency and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
|
|
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: |
|
a) |
Exploration Stage Enterprise |
|
|
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 ("SFAS 7"), "Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises," as it devotes substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mineral properties. Until such properties are acquired and developed, the Company will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration stage. |
|
b) |
Cash |
|
|
Cash consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions, and to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances. The carrying amounts approximated fair market value due to the liquidity of these deposits. |
|
c) |
Mineral Property Acquisition Payments |
|
|
The Company expenses all costs incurred on mineral properties to which it has secured exploration rights prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. If and when proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property will be capitalized. |
|
|
The Company regularly performs evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of its investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. |
|
d) |
Exploration Expenditures |
|
|
The Company follows a policy of expensing exploration expenditures until a production decision in respect of the project and the Company is reasonably assured that it will receive regulatory approval to permit mining operations, which may include the receipt of a legally binding project approval certificate. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
|
e) |
Deferred Offering Costs |
|
|
The Company defers the costs incurred to raise equity financing until that financing occurs. At such time that the issuance of new equity occurs, these costs will be netted against the proceeds received or if the financing does not occur, they will be expensed. |
|
f) |
Asset Retirement Obligations |
|
|
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 ("SFAS 143'), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which requires that an asset retirement obligation ("ARO") associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. |
|
|
The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company's credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded. |
|
g) |
Use of Estimates and Assumptions |
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates |
|
h) |
Financial Instruments |
|
|
The carrying values of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company's financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
||
i) |
Environmental Costs |
||
|
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts. |
||
j) |
Income Taxes |
||
|
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes". This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. |
||
k) |
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share |
||
|
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 - "Earnings Per Share". Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. As the Company generated net losses in the period presented, the basic and diluted loss per share is the same, as any exercise of options or warrants would be anti-dilutive. |
||
l) |
Foreign Currency Translation |
||
|
The Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in Canadian dollars are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: |
||
i) |
monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; |
||
ii) |
non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate; |
||
iii) |
revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period. |
||
Gains and losses on translation are recorded in the statement of operations. |

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
|
a) |
The FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 47 - "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" in March 2005. FIN 47 clarifies that an entity must record a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. This interpretation also clarifies the circumstances under which an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements. |
|
b) |
In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 115-1 - "The Meeting of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments" ("FSP 115-1"). FSP 115-1 provides accounting guidance for identifying and recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of debt and equity securities, as well as cost method investments in addition to disclosure requirements. FSP 115-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and earlier application is permitted. The Company has determined that the adoption of FSP 115-1 does not have an impact on its result of operations or financial position. |

In March 2005, the Emerging Issue Task Force issued EITF Issue 04-6 - "Accounting for Stripping Costs in the Mining Industry ("EITF Issue 04-6"), stating that post-production stripping costs are a component of mineral inventory costs subject to the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43 - "Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing", ("ARB No. 43"). Based upon this statement, post production stripping costs are considered as costs of the extracted minerals under a full absorption costing system and are recognized as a component of inventory to be recognized in costs of coal sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of the inventory. In addition, capitalization of such costs would be appropriate only to the extent inventory exists at the end of a reporting period. The provisions will be effective for financial statements issued for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with early adoption permitted. The Company has determined that the adoption of EITF Issue 04-6 does not have an impact on its results of operations or financial position since the Company is still in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its operations. |

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of the registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:
The general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or director from liability, thereby making the company responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did not engage in fraud or criminal activity.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons against liability under the Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution (unless payable solely in shares of Common Stock or other class of stock junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation) in respect of Common Stock, or other class of stock junior the Preferred Stock, nor shall it redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any of the foregoing, unless dividends, if any, payable to holders of Preferred Stock for the current period (and in the case of cumulative dividends, if any, payable to holder of Preferred Stock for the current period and in the case of cumulative dividends, if any, for all past periods) have been paid, are being paid or have been set aside for payments, in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock, as fixed by the Board of Directors.
In the event of the liquidation of the Corporation, holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to received, before any payment or distribution on the Common Stock or any other class of stock junior to the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, a distribution per share in the amount of the liquidation preference, if any, fixed or determined in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock plus, if so provided in such terms, an amount per share equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends in respect of such Preferred Stock (whether or not earned or declared) to the date of such distribution. Neither the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, nor any consolidation or merger of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation for the purposes of this Article.

The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.
9
.02 Derivative Action
The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in the Corporation's favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees) and amount paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to amounts paid in settlement, the settlement of the suit or action was in the best interests of the Corporation; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such person's duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper. The termination of any action or suit by judgment or settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
.03 Successful Defense.

RE: Golden Star Resource Corp.
October 6, 2006
Page 2
The Company's Articles of Incorporation presently provide the authority to the Company to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.00001 par value. Therefore, a Board of Directors' Resolution which authorized the issuance for sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock would be within the authority of the Company's directors and the shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Yours truly,
