SUMMARY OF PROSPECTUS
You should read the following summary together with the more detailed business information, financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. In this prospectus, unless the context otherwise denotes, references to "we," "us," "our", "Wolfe Creek" and "Wolfe Creek Mining" are to Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COMPANY
Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 26, 2007 to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to develop our business operations. (See "Business of the Company" and "Use of Proceeds".) We are an exploration stage company with no revenues or operating history. The principal executive offices are located at 15868 SW Kimball Avenue, Lake Oswego, OR 97035. The telephone number is (760)564-8967.
We received our initial funding of $15,000 through the sale of common stock to our officer and director who purchased 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.005 per share on October 15, 2007. From inception until the date of this filing we have had limited operating activities. Our financial statements from inception (June 26, 2007) through the year ended December 31, 2007 report no revenues and a net loss of $9,105. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc. which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our mineral claim has been staked and we hired a professional mining engineer to prepare a geological report. We have not yet commenced any exploration activities on the claim. Our property, known as the Eureka Load Mining Claim may not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. Even if we complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying a mineral deposit we will be required to expend substantial funds to bring our claim to production.
There is no current public market for our securities. As our stock is not publicly traded, investors should be aware they probably will be unable to sell their shares and their investment in our securities is not liquid.
THE OFFERING
Securities Being Offered 1,000,000 shares of common stock. Price per Share $0.025 Offering Period The shares are offered for a period not to exceed 180 days, unless extended by our board of directors for an additional 90 days. Net Proceeds $25,000 Securities Issued and Outstanding 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. Registration costs We estimate our total offering registration costs to be $4,500. |
RISK FACTORS
An investment in these securities involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculative in nature. Following are what we believe to be all the material risks involved if you decide to purchase shares in this offering.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:
WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY BUT HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ON OUR CLAIM. WE EXPECT TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have not yet commenced exploration on the Eureka Lode Mineral Claim. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on June 26, 2007 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of the mineral claim. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from development and production of minerals from the claim, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
WITHOUT THE FUNDING FROM THIS OFFERING WE WILL BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the intended exploration program on our mineral claim. We will need the funds from this offering to complete our business plan. As of December 31, 2007, we had cash in the amount of $5,895. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income.
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR HAS ISSUED AN AUDIT OPINION FOR WOLFE CREEK MINING, INC. WHICH INCLUDES A STATEMENT DESCRIBING OUR GOING CONCERN STATUS. OUR FINANCIAL STATUS CREATES A DOUBT WHETHER WE WILL CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
As described in Note 6 of our accompanying financial statements, our lack of operations and any guaranteed sources of future capital create substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If our
business plan does not work, we could remain as a start-up company with limited operations and revenues.
BECAUSE MANAGEMENT HAS NO TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, OUR BUSINESS HAS A HIGHER RISK OF FAILURE.
Our director has no professional training or technical credentials in the field of geology and specifically in the areas of exploring, developing and operating a mine. As a result, we may not be able to recognize and take advantage of potential acquisition and exploration opportunities in the sector without the aid of qualified geological consultants. 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 may suffer irreparable harm as a result.
THERE IS THE RISK THAT OUR PROPERTY DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY KNOWN BODIES OF ORE RESULTING IN ANY FUNDS SPENT ON EXPLORATION BEING LOST.
There is the likelihood of our mineral claim containing little or no economic mineralization or reserves of silver or other minerals. We have a geological report detailing previous exploration in the area, and the claim has been staked per Nevada regulations. However; there is the possibility that the previous work was not carried out properly and our claim does not contain any reserves, resulting in any funds spent on exploration being lost.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT SURVEYED THE EUREKA LODE MINERAL CLAIM, WE MAY DISCOVER MINERALIZATION ON THE CLAIMS THAT IS NOT WITHIN OUR CLAIM BOUNDARIES.
While we have conducted a mineral claim title search, this should not be construed as a guarantee of claim boundaries. Until the claim is surveyed, the precise location of the boundaries of the claim may be in doubt. If we discover mineralization that is close to the claim boundaries, it is possible that some or all of the mineralization may occur outside the boundaries. In such a case we would not have the right to extract those minerals.
IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF PRECIOUS METALS ON OUR MINERAL PROPERTY, WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ADVANCE THE MINERAL CLAIMS INTO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
If our exploration program is successful in establishing ore of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to advance the claim into commercial production. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market price for the minerals, investor acceptance of our claims and general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. The most likely source of future funds is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will
result in dilution to existing shareholders. We may be unable to obtain any such funds, or to obtain such funds on terms that we consider economically feasible and you may lose any investment you make in this offering.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION OR OTHER LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES MAY INCREASE COSTS AND OUR BUSINESS WILL BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
Laws and regulations govern the exploration, development, mining, production, importing and exporting of minerals; taxes; labor standards; occupational health; waste disposal; protection of the environment; mine safety; toxic substances; and other matters. In many cases, licenses and permits are required to conduct mining operations. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on us. Applicable laws and regulations will require us to make certain capital and operating expenditures to initiate new operations. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to stop exploration activities, once started, until a particular problem is remedied or to undertake other remedial actions.
BASED ON CONSUMER DEMAND, THE GROWTH AND DEMAND FOR ANY ORE WE MAY RECOVER FROM OUR CLAIMS MAY BE SLOWED, RESULTING IN REDUCED REVENUES TO THE COMPANY.
Our continued success will be dependent on the growth of demand for ore. If consumer demand slows our revenues may be significantly affected. This could limit our ability to generate revenues and our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
BECAUSE OUR CURRENT OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, SHE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Kristen Paul, our sole officer and director, currently devotes approximately 5-6 hours per week providing management services to us. While she presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands on her from other obligations could increase, with the result that she would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. This could negatively impact our business development.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING:
THE TRADING IN OUR SHARES WILL BE REGULATED BY SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A "PENNY STOCK."
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to
persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000 jointly with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
WE ARE SELLING THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL ANY SHARES.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell them through our officer and director, who will receive no commissions. She will offer the shares to friends, relatives, acquaintances and business associates, however; there is no guarantee that she will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless she is successful in selling all of the shares and we receive the proceeds from this offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plans.
DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.
We are not registered on any public stock exchange. There is presently no demand for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being offered in this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the completion of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. We cannot guarantee that our application will be accepted or approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. As of the date of this filing, there have been no discussions or understandings between Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc., or anyone acting on our behalf, with any market maker regarding participation in a future trading market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you
are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your investment.
YOU WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES.
Our existing stockholder acquired her shares at a cost of $.005 per share, a cost per share substantially less than that which you will pay for the shares you purchase in this offering. Upon completion of this offering the net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder (3,000,000 shares) will be increased by $.006 per share without any additional investment on her part. The purchasers of shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution (a reduction in the net tangible book value per share from the offering price of $.025 per share) of $.017 per share. As a result, after completion of the offering, the net tangible book value of the shares held by purchasers in this offering would be $.008 per share, reflecting an immediate reduction in the $.025 price per share they paid for their shares.
WE WILL BE HOLDING ALL THE PROCEEDS FROM THE OFFERING IN A STANDARD BANK CHECKING ACCOUNT UNTIL ALL SHARES ARE SOLD. BECAUSE THE SHARES ARE NOT HELD IN AN ESCROW OR TRUST ACCOUNT THERE IS A RISK YOUR MONEY WILL NOT BE RETURNED IF ALL THE SHARES ARE NOT SOLD.
All funds received from the sale of shares in this offering will be deposited into a standard bank checking account until all shares are sold and the offering is closed, at which time, the proceeds will be transferred to our business operating account. In the event all shares are not sold we have committed to promptly return all funds to the original purchasers. However since the funds will not be placed into an escrow, trust or other similar account, there can be no guarantee that any third party creditor who may obtain a judgment or lien against us would not satisfy the judgment or lien by executing on the bank account where the offering proceeds are being held, resulting in a loss of any investment you make in our securities.
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE. WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.
Our business plan allows for the payment of the estimated $4,500 cost of this registration statement to be paid from existing cash on hand and if necessary funds advanced to the company by our director. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the close of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient
revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
KRISTEN PAUL, THE SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY, BENEFICIALLY OWNS 100% OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK. AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THIS OFFERING SHE WILL OWN 75% OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES. IF SHE CHOOSES TO SELL HER SHARES IN THE FUTURE, IT MIGHT HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
Due to the amount of Kristen Paul's share ownership in our company, if she chooses to sell her shares in the public market, the market price of our stock could decrease and all shareholders suffer a dilution of the value of their stock. If she does sell any of her common stock, she will be subject to Rule 144 under the 1933 Securities Act which restricts the ability of our director or officer to sell her shares.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming sale of all of the shares offered herein, of which there is no assurance, the net proceeds from this Offering will be $25,000. The proceeds are expected to be disbursed, in the priority set forth below, during the first twelve (12) months after the successful completion of the Offering:
Total Proceeds to the Company $25,000 Phase One Exploration Program 7,000 Phase Two Exploration Program 10,500 Legal and Accounting 4,500 Administration and Office Expense 3,000 ------- Total Use of Net Proceeds $25,000 ======= |
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price we took into consideration our capital structure and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plans. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our securities.
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 stockholder.
As of December 31, 2007, the net tangible book value of our shares was $5,895 or approximately $.002 per share, based upon 3,000,000 shares outstanding.
Upon completion of this Offering, but without taking into account any change in the net tangible book value after completion of this Offering other than that resulting from the sale of the shares and receipt of the total proceeds of $25,000, the net tangible book value of the 4,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $30,895, or approximately $.008 per Share. Accordingly, the net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder (3,000,000 shares) will be increased by $.006 per share without any additional investment on her part. The purchasers of shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution (a reduction in the net tangible book value per share from the offering price of $.025 per Share) of $.017 per share. As a result, after completion of the offering, the net tangible book value of the shares held by purchasers in this offering would be $.008 per share, reflecting an immediate reduction in the $.025 price per share they paid for their shares.
After completion of the offering, the existing shareholder will own 75% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which she will have made a cash investment of $15,000, or $.005 per Share. Upon completion of the offering, the purchasers of the shares offered hereby will own 25% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they will have made a cash investment of $25,000, or $.025 per Share.
The following table illustrates the per share dilution to the new investors and does not give any effect to the results of any operations subsequent to December 31, 2007:
Price Paid per Share by Existing Shareholder $.005 Public Offering Price per Share $.025 Net Tangible Book Value Prior to this Offering $.002 Net Tangible Book Value After this Offering $.008 Increase in Net Tangible Book Value per Share Attributable to cash payments from purchasers of the shares offered $.006 Immediate Dilution per Share to New Investors $.017 |
The following table summarizes the number and percentage of shares purchased, the amount and percentage of consideration paid and the average price per Share paid by our existing stockholder and by new investors in this offering:
Total Price Number of Percent of Consideration Per Share Shares Held Ownership Paid --------- ----------- --------- ---- Existing Stockholder $.005 3,000,000 75% $15,000 Investors in This Offering $.025 1,000,000 25% $25,000 |

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on June 26, 2007 to engage in the business of acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties. At that time Kristen Paul was named sole officer and director of the company and the Board voted to seek capital and begin development of our business plan. We received our initial funding of $15,000 through the sale of common stock to Kristen Paul who purchased 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at $0.005 per share on October 15, 2007.
We are an exploration stage company with no revenues and a limited operating history. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The source of information contained in this discussion is our geology report that has been included as Exhibit 99.2 to our S-1 registration statement.
There is the likelihood of our mineral claim containing little or no economic mineralization or reserves of silver and other minerals. The Eureka Lode Mineral Claim is comprised of one located claim with an area of 20 acres, and is located in the easternmost portion the Goodsprings (Yellow Pine) Mining District within the southwestern corner of the State of Nevada, U.S.A. The region is known for its historic production of lead, zinc, silver and gold. If our claim does not contain any reserves all funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. Even if we complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying a mineral deposit we will be required to expend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve.
The one property on which the net proceeds of the offering will be spent, is the Eureka Lode Mineral Claim which is comprised of one located claim with an area of 20 acres located in the Goodsprings (Yellow Pine) Mining District within the southwestern corner of the State of Nevada.
Access from Las Vegas, Nevada to the Eureka Lode Claim is southward via Interstate Highway #15 for 31 miles, to within five miles past Jean, Nevada, thence westerly for five miles to within 1,000 feet of the Eureka Lode Claim. Las Vegas offers the necessary resources required to base and carry-out an exploration program (accommodations, communications, equipment and supplies).
The area is of a typically desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of desert shrubs and cactus.
There is not a plant or any equipment currently located on the property. It is expected that the initial exploration phase will be supported by generators. Water required for exploration and development of the claim is available from valley wells.
A three phased exploration program of geophysical and geochemical surveys, trenching, sampling, and diamond drilling estimated to cost US$ 87,500.00 is recommended to explore for, and delineate, potentially economic lead/zinc/silver bearing mineral zones on the Eureka Lode Claim. As exploration work is conducted and assessed, a decision would be made as to its importance and priority. The next phase of work will be determined by the results from the preceding phase.
The cost of the initial phase of exploration is $7,000, $10,500 for the contingent second phase and $70,000 for the contingent third phase. We plan to commence Phase 1 of the exploration program in the summer of 2008 if we are able to raise the necessary funds from this offering.
The discussions contained herein are management's estimates based on information provided by the consulting geologist who prepared the geology report for the project. Because we have not commenced our exploration program we cannot provide a more detailed discussion of our plans if we find a viable store of minerals on our property, as there is no guarantee that exploitable mineralization will be found, the quantity or type of minerals if they are found and the extraction process that will be required. We are also unable to assure you we will be able to raise the additional funding to proceed with any subsequent work on the claims if mineralization is found.
ACQUISITION OF THE EUREKA LODE MINING CLAIM
We entered into a purchase agreement dated December 19, 2007 with Larry Sostad pursuant to which we acquired a 100% interest in the Eureka Lode Mining Claim for cash consideration of $9,000. The Eureka Claim is comprised of one unpatented lode mineral claim within an area of 20 acres, located in the Yellow Pine Mining District, Clark County, Nevada.
REQUIREMENTS OR CONDITIONS FOR RETENTION OF TITLE
In addition to the State regulations, Federal regulations require a yearly maintenance fee to keep the claim in good standing. In accordance with Federal regulations, the Eureka Lode Claim is in good standing to September 1, 2008. A yearly maintenance fee of $125.00 is required to be paid to the Bureau of Land Management prior to the expiry date to keep the claim in good standing for an additional year.
LOCATION, ACCESS, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES & INFRASTRUCTURE
The Eureka Lode Claim, comprising 20 acres, was located on November 26, 2007 and was filed in the Clark County recorder's office in Las Vegas on November 30, 2007 as No 3368 File 080 Page00887 in the official records book No.20071130.
The Eureka Lode Claim is located within Sections 27 & 34 Range 58E, Township 25S at the easternmost portion of the Yellow Pine Mining District of Clark County, Nevada.
Access from Las Vegas, Nevada to the Eureka Lode Claim is southward via Interstate Highway #15 for approximately 31 miles, to within five miles past
Jean, Nevada, thence westerly for five miles to within 1,000 feet of the Eureka Lode Claim.
Infrastructure such as highways and back roads, communications, accommodations and supplies that are essential to carrying-out an exploration program are available in Las Vegas.
PHYSIOGRAPHY
The Eureka Lode Claim is situated at the southern end of the Sheep Mountain Range, a north-south trending range of mountains with peaks reaching an elevation of 4,184 feet. The Claim covers the southwesterly facing slopes of a northerly trending ridge. Elevations within the confines of the Claim are within the range of 250 feet.
The area is of a typically desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of desert shrubs and cactus. Sources of water would be available from valley wells.

HISTORY
The history of the Yellow Pine Mining District stems from 1856 when Mormon missionaries reported ore in the area. In 1857 the smelting of ore produced 9,000 pounds of lead and in 1898 a mill was built south of Goodsprings. As a result of the mill availability, exploration activity led to the discovery of many of the mines in the area.
Although less famous than many of the other mining districts of the Great Basin it nevertheless ranks second only to Tonopah in total Nevada lead and zinc production. During World War I this district was one of the most productive in the West, but by the end of World War II only a few mines remained in operation.
Even though the mines of this district have been worked primarily for their lead-zinc-silver values, an estimated 91,000 ounces of gold has been recovered as a by-product of copper-lead-silver mining.
GEOLOGICAL SETTING
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
In the Yellow Pine district, the Spring Mountain Range in the west, and the Sheep Mountain Range in the east consist mainly of Paleozoic sediments which have undergone intense folding accompanied by faulting. A series of Carboniferous sediments consist largely of siliceous limestones and include strata of pure crystalline limestone and dolomite with occasional intercalated beds of fine grained sandstone. These strata have a general west to southwest dip of from 15 to 45 degrees which is occasionally disturbed by local folds. Igneous rocks are scarce and are represented chiefly by quartz-monzonite porphyry dikes and sills. The quartz-monzonite porphyry is intruded into these strata and is of post-Jurassic age, perhaps Tertiary.
PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The Eureka Lode Claim is indicated to be underlain by the Yellowpine Limestone member of the Monte Cristo Limestone Formation where lead/zinc mineralization often occurs in a breccia at the base of the limestone.

COMPETITION
We do not compete directly with anyone for the exploration or removal of minerals from our property as we hold all interest and rights to the claim. Readily available commodities markets exist in the U.S. and around the world for the sale of gold, silver and other minerals. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any gold, silver or other minerals that we are able to recover.
We will be subject to competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry in the event spot shortages arise for supplies such as dynamite, and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we will need to conduct exploration. We have not yet attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or services and will not do so until funds are received from this offering. If we are unsuccessful in securing the products, equipment and services we need we may have to suspend our exploration plans until we are able to do so.
BANKRUPTCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS
There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
REORGANIZATIONS, PURCHASE OR SALE OF ASSETS
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION
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 United States generally, and in Nevada specifically. We will also be subject to the regulations of the Bureau of Land Management.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, FRANCHISES, CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY AGREEMENTS, OR LABOR CONTRACTS
We have no current plans for any registrations such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts. We will assess the need for any copyright, trademark or patent applications on an ongoing basis.
NEED FOR GOVERNMENT APPROVAL FOR ITS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
We are not required to apply for or have any government approval for our products or services.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS
We have not expended funds for research and development costs since inception.
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Our only employee is our sole officer, Kristen Paul who currently devotes 5-6 hours per week to company matters and after receiving funding she plans to devote as much time as the board of directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of the company. There are no formal employment agreements between the company and our current employee.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We do not currently own any property. We are currently operating out of the premises of our President, Kristen Paul on a rent free basis during our exploration stage. The office is at 15868 SW Kimball Avenue, Lake Oswego, OR 97035. We consider our current principal office space arrangement adequate and will reassess our needs based upon the future growth of the company.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock. Following completion of this offering, we intend to apply to have our common stock listed for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
PENNY STOCK RULES
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally 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 price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which:
- contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both public offerings and secondary trading;
- contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
- contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
- contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
- defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
- contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
- the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
- the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
- the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
- monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
REGULATION M
Our officer and director, who will offer and sell the Shares, is aware that she is required to comply with the provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the officers and directors, sales agents, any broker-dealer or other person who participate in the distribution of shares in this offering from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our fiscal year end is December 31. We intend to provide financial statements audited by an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our shareholders in our annual reports. The audited financial statements for the period from inception, June 26, 2007, to December 31, 2007 immediately follow.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
We have generated no revenue since inception and have incurred $9,105 in expenses through December 31, 2007.
The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the period from the date of incorporation through December 31, 2007. For detailed financial information, see the financial statements included in this prospectus.
Balance Sheet Data: 12/31/2007 ------------------- ---------- Cash $5,895 Total assets $5,895 Total liabilities $ 0 Shareholders' equity $5,895 |
Other than the shares offered by this prospectus, no other source of capital has been identified or sought. If we experience a shortfall in operating capital prior to funding from the proceeds of this offering, our director has verbally agreed to advance the company funds to complete the registration process.
PLAN OF OPERATION
GOING CONCERN
Our auditor has 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 revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach that point.
Our current cash balance is $5,895. We believe our cash balance is sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations until we receive funding. If we experience a shortage of funds prior to funding we may utilize funds from our director, who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for offering costs, filing fees, and professional fees, however she has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. In order to achieve our business plan goals, we will need the funding from this offering. We are an exploration stage company and have generated no revenue to date. We have sold $15,000 in equity securities to pay for our minimum level of operations.
Our exploration target is to find exploitable minerals on our property. Our success depends on achieving that target. There is the likelihood of our mineral claim containing little or no economic mineralization or reserves of gold, silver and other minerals. There is the possibility that our claim does not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. Even if we complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying
a mineral deposit we will be required to expend substantial funds to bring our claim to production. We are unable to assure you we will be able to raise the additional funds necessary to implement any future exploration or extraction program even if mineralization is found.
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this prospectus is to complete the first two phases of the exploration program on our claim consisting of geological mapping, soil sampling and rock sampling. In addition to the $7,000 we anticipate spending for Phase 1 and $10,500 on Phase 2 of the exploration program as outlined below, we anticipate spending an additional $13,000 on professional fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and complying with reporting obligations, and general administrative costs. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be approximately $30,500. We will require the funds from this offering to proceed.
The following work program has been recommended by the consulting geologist who prepared the geology report for the Eureka Lode Mining Claim.
PHASE 1
VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys $ 7,000 PHASE 2 Localized soil surveys, trenching and sampling over known and indicated mineralized zones $10,500 PHASE 3 Test diamond drilling $70,000 ------- Total $87,500 ======= |
If we are successful in raising the funds from this offering we plan to commence Phase 1 of the exploration program on the claim in the summer of 2008. We have a verbal agreement with Sookochoff Consultants Inc., the consulting geology firm who prepared the geology report on our claim, to retain their services for our planned exploration program. We expect this phase to take two weeks to complete and an additional three months for the consulting geologist to receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his report. If Phase 1 of the exploration program is successful we anticipate commencing Phase 2 in the fall of 2008. We expect this phase to take three weeks to complete and an additional three months for the consulting geologist to receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his report.
The above program costs are management's estimates based upon the recommendations of the professional consulting geologist's report and the actual project costs may exceed our estimates. To date, we have not commenced exploration.
Following phase two of the exploration program, if it proves successful in identifying mineral deposits, we intend to proceed with phase three of our exploration program if we are able to raise the funds necessary. The estimated cost of this program is $70,000 and will take approximately 4 weeks to complete and an additional three to four months for the consulting geologist to receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his report.
Subject to financing, we anticipate commencing the third phase in spring 2009. We will require additional funding to proceed with phase three and any subsequent work on the claim, we have no current plans on how to raise the additional funding. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to proceed with any work after the first phase of the exploration program.
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 resources that is material to investors.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
There is no historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage company and have not generated 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 property, and possible cost overruns due to increases in the cost of services.
To become profitable and competitive, we must conduct the exploration of our properties before we start into production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking funding from this offering to provide the capital required for the first two phases of our exploration program. We believe that the funds from this offering will allow us to operate for one year.
We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing is not available to us for the second phase of our exploration program we may be unable to continue.
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 sell all the shares required. If we are successful any money raised will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. If the first two phases of our exploration program are successful in identifying mineral deposits we will attempt to raise the necessary funds to proceed with phase three, and any subsequent drilling and extraction. The sources of funding we may consider to fund this work include a second public offering, a private placement of our securities or loans from our director or others.
Our director has agreed to advance funds as needed until the offering is completed or failed and has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation of the property should exploitable minerals not be found and we abandon the third phase of our exploration program and there are no remaining funds in the company. While she has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is verbal and is unenforceable as a matter of law.
The one property in the Company's portfolio, on which the net proceeds of the offering will be spent, is the Eureka Lode Mineral Claim on approximately 20 acres. We have not carried out any exploration work on the claim and have incurred no exploration costs.
We received our initial funding of $15,000 through the sale of common stock to Kristen Paul, our officer and director, who purchased 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.005 per share on June 26, 2007. From inception until the date of this filing we have had no operating activities. Our financial statements from inception (June 26, 2007) through the year ended December 31, 2007 report no revenues and a net loss of $9,105.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the By-Laws of the company, or otherwise, 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.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or other control person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it, is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(An Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows from Inception on June 26, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and the period then ended. 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 conducted 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 financial position of Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows from Inception on June 26, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and the period then ended, 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 $9,105 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under Statement 109, a liability method is used whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between basis used for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. Income taxes are provided based on tax rates in effect at the time such temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not, that the Company will not realize the tax assets through future operations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial accounting Standards Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and certain investments.
INVESTMENTS
Investments that are purchased in other companies are valued at cost less any impairment in the value that is other than temporary in nature.
PER SHARE INFORMATION
The Company computes per share information in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has basic and diluted loss per share of $0.001
NOTE 3 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the period ended December 31, 2007 represents the minimum state income tax expense of the Company, which is not considered significant.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
The Company is not presently involved in any litigation.
NOTE 5 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS NO. 155 amends SFAS NO. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets" to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement NO. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earning or the amortization and impairment requirement of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives t qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.
These statements are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007
NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
Future issuances of the Company's equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Company's present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $ 9,105. since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Kristen Paul, the sole officer and director of the Company may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities as they become available, thus she may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and her other business opportunities. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
Kristen Paul, the sole officer and director of the Company, will not be paid for any underwriting services that she performs on behalf of the Company with respect to the Company's upcoming S-1 offering. She will also not receive any interest on any funds that she advances to the Company for offering expenses prior to the offering being closed which will be repaid from the proceeds of the offering.
NOTE 8 - STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Transactions, other than employees' stock issuance, are in accordance with paragraph 8 of SFAS 123. Thus issuances shall be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received. Transactions with employees' stock issuance are in accordance with paragraphs (16-44) of SFAS 123. These issuances shall be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or whichever is more readily determinable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume

offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
II-2
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
i. If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (230.430B of this chapter):
A. Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(3)shall be deemed to be part of the registration
statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed
part of and included in the registration statement; and
B. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration
statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering
made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the
purpose of providing the information required by section
10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be
part of and included in the registration statement as of the
earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used
after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of
sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes
of the issuer and any person that is at that date an
underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective
date of the registration statement relating to the
securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide |
offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
ii. If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
II-3
5. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424;
ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by
or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to

offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant; and
iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by
the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to our director, officer and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
1. CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK. Certificates representing stock in the corporation shall be signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson of the Board of Directors, if any, or by the President or a Vice-President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation shall sign by, or in the name of, the corporation certificates representing stock in the corporation. Any or all the signatures on any such certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.
Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock, and whenever the corporation shall issue any shares of its stock as partly paid stock, the certificates representing shares of any such class or series or of any such partly paid stock shall set forth thereon the statements prescribed by the General Corporation Law. Any restrictions on the transfer or registration of transfer of any shares of stock of any class or series shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares.
The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of the lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
2. UNCERTIFICATED SHARES. Subject to any conditions imposed by the General Corporation Law, the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the stock of the corporation shall be uncertificated shares. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of any uncertificated shares, the corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof any written notice prescribed by the General Corporation Law.
3. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS. The corporation may, but shall not be required to, issue fractions of a share. If the corporation does not issue fractions of a share, it shall (1) arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto, (2) pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined, or (3) issue scrip or warrants in registered form (either represented by a certificate or uncertificated) or bearer form (represented by a certificate) which shall entitle the holder to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. A certificate for a fractional share or an uncertificated fractional share shall, but scrip or warrants shall not unless otherwise provided therein, entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends thereon, and to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The Board of Directors may cause scrip or warrants to be issued subject to the conditions that they shall become void if not exchanged for certificates representing the full shares or uncertificated full shares before a specified date, or subject to the conditions that the shares for which scrip or warrants are exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of scrip or warrants, or subject to any other conditions which the Board of Directors may impose.
4. STOCK TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers or registration of transfers of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only on the stock ledger of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by the registered holder's attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a transfer agent or a registrar, if any, and, in the case of shares represented by certificates, on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares of stock properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes due thereon.
5. RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such a meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by
the General Corporation Law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the General Corporation Law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
6. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used herein in respect of the right to notice of a meeting of stockholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or vote thereat or to consent or dissent in writing in lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or "share of stock" or "shares of stock" or "stockholder" or "stockholders" refers to an outstanding share or shares of stock and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock when the corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares of stock, and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding share or shares of stock and any holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock of any class upon which or upon whom the certificate of incorporation confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series of shares of stock or upon which or upon whom the General Corporation Law confers such rights notwithstanding that the certificate of incorporation may provide for more than one class or series of shares of stock, one or more of which are limited or denied such rights there under; provided, however, that no such right shall vent in the event of an increase or a decrease in the authorized number of shares of stock of any class or series which is otherwise denied voting rights under the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, except as any provision of law may otherwise require.
7. STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.
- TIME. The annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed, from time to time, by the directors, provided, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the organization of the corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the date of the preceding annual meeting.

The notice of a special meeting shall in all instances state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

If a meeting is adjourned to another time, not more than thirty days hence, and/or to another place, and if an announcement of the adjourned time and/or place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting unless the directors, after adjournment, fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Notice need not be given to any stockholder who submits a written waiver of notice signed by such stockholder before or after the time stated therein. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
- STOCKHOLDER LIST. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.

Every proxy must be signed by the stockholder or by such stockholder's attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.
- INSPECTORS. The directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors.

Each inspector, if any, before entering upon the discharge of duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector's ability.

On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question, or matter determined by such inspector or inspectors and execute a certificate of any fact found by such inspector or inspectors.

In the election of directors, and for any other action, voting need not be by ballot.

Re: Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc. (the "Company")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As counsel for the Company, I have examined the Company's certificate of incorporation, by-laws, and such other corporate records, documents and proceedings and such questions of laws I have deemed relevant for the purpose of this opinion, including but not limited to, Delaware law including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws. In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies thereof. In addition, I have made such other examinations of law and fact, as I have deemed relevant in order to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.
I have also, as counsel for the Company, examined the Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") of your Company on Form S-1, covering the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of 1,000,000 shares (the "Offering Shares") of the Company's common stock (the Common Stock") to be offered by the Company on a self-underwritten, all or none basis.
My review has also included the form of prospectus for the issuance of such securities (the "Prospectus") filed with the Registration Statement.
On the basis of such examination, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly authorized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement.
2. The Company has an authorized capitalization of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value and 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, .001 par value per share. No preferred shares have been issued.
3. The shares of Common Stock currently issued and outstanding are duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable, pursuant to the corporate laws of the State of Delaware.
4. I am of the opinion that all of the Offering Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable pursuant to the corporate law of the State of Delaware (Chapter 78A of the Delaware Revised Statutes).
This opinion includes my opinion on Delaware law including the Delaware Constitution, all applicable provisions of Delaware statutes, and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws.
This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. I hereby consent to the use of my opinion as herein set forth as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of my name under the caption "Interest of Named Experts and Counsel" in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not hereby admit that I come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of Regulation S-K.
Very truly yours,
