PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
Leadville Mining and Milling Corp. (the "Company," "we" or "us") was
incorporated in the state of Nevada in February 1982. The Company owns rights to
property located in the California Mining District, Lake County, Colorado and in
the State of Sonora, Mexico and is engaged in the business of exploration for
gold and other minerals from these properties. During the fiscal year ended July
31, 2001, the Company actively engaged in the evaluation of these properties as
well as others thought to have exploration and development potential. The future
of the Company is dependent upon its ability to continue to raise funds for its
exploration and development activities and, eventually, produce gold, silver,
lead and/or zinc in sufficient quantities in an economically feasible manner. A
description of the mining properties owned by the Company is contained in "Item
2. Description of Properties." There can be no assurance that any of our
properties contain a commercially viable ore body or reserves until additional
work is done and an evaluation based on such work concludes that development of
and production from the ore body is technically, economically and legally
feasible. None of our properties are in production, and consequently we have no
operating income or cash flow
El Chanate
Effective December 15, 2000, we obtained an option from AngloGold North America
Inc. to purchase from AngloGold North America Inc. and AngloGold (Jerritt
Canyon) Corp. 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Minera Chanate, S.A.
de C.V., a subsidiary of those two companies. Minera Chanate's assets consisted
of certain exploitation and exploration concessions in the States of Sonora,
Chihuahua and Guerrero, Mexico. See "Item 2. Description of Properties."
Pursuant to the option, during calendar 2001, we provided AngloGold the funds
needed to cover all rental and maintenance payments required to hold Minera
Chanate's concessions (approximately $145,000).
On June 29, 2001, we exercised our option to obtain 100% of the shares of Minera
Chanate, S.A. de C.V. Just prior to closing, based on the results of our due
diligence, we caused Minera Chanate to drop 24 of its 106 concessions. With the
approval from AngloGold under the option, we caused Minera Chanate to drop an
additional 38 concessions, leaving a total of 44 concessions. As a result, the
total area covered by the concessions in which Minera Chanate retains an
interest is smaller than previously reported.
By December 15, 2001, we must make an additional $50,000 payment to AngloGold.
As of the date of this report, we intend to make this payment and retain
ownership of Minera Chanate. If we decide that we do not want to continue to own
Minera Chanate, we must offer to sell the shares back to AngloGold for nominal
consideration. Assuming, as anticipated, that we retain ownership of Minera
Chanate, AngloGold will be entitled to receive the remainder of the purchase
price by way of an ongoing percentage of net smelter returns of between 2% and
4% plus a 10% net profits interest (until the total net profits interest payment
received by AngloGold
1
equals $1,000,000). AngloGold's right to a payment of a percentage of net
smelter returns and the net profits interest will terminate at such point as
they aggregate $18,018,355. In accordance with the option agreement, the
foregoing payments are not to be construed as royalty payments. Should the
Mexican government or other jurisdiction determine that such payments are
royalties, we could be subjected to and would be responsible for any withholding
taxes assessed on such payments.
Under the terms of the option, we have granted AngloGold the right to designate
one of its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries to receive a one-time option to
purchase 51% of Minera Chanate. That option is exercisable over a 180 day period
commencing at such time as we notify AngloGold that we have made a good faith
determination that we have gold-bearing ore deposits on any one of the
identified groups of Minera Chanate properties, when aggregated with any ore
that we have mined, produced and sold from such properties, of in excess of
2,000,000 troy ounces of contained gold. The exercise price would equal twice
our project costs on the properties during the period commencing on December 15,
2000 and ending on the date of such notice.
During fiscal 2001, the Company focused its efforts on the evaluation of its
Mexican properties with particular emphasis on the El Chanate deposit. It
conducted studies on the archival data pertaining to the El Chanate project.
This included drilling logs, metallurgy, surface sampling, assays and maps.
Independent consultants were used to evaluate exploration results and
metallurgy. Management believes that the combination of existing data and
analysis generally supports the existence of a gold deposit that warrants
further exploration and development work. Metallurgical studies and tests also
were undertaken to evaluate the potential for gold recovery using heap leach
technology and showed encouraging recovery rates. These tests will continue. A
50 hole shallow definition drilling program is being prepared at El Chanate to
define the gold grade to a depth of two (30 ft.) benches of the proposed open
pit. Assuming adequate finding can be obtained, samples would be on five foot
centers and the pulps would be tested metallurgically for gold recovery. A three
hole deeper core drilling program is also planned at El Chanate. The purpose of
these additional activities is to move toward the preparation, if warranted, of
a feasibility study and a detailed mine plan for the El Chanate project. During
fiscal 2001 our technical staff made a geological reconnaissance of Minera
Chanate's other Sonoran holdings. As a result, as discussed above, a total of 62
claims were dropped.
Management believes that the capital costs to establish an open pit, heap leach
mining operation at El Chanate, if economically feasible, could range from $10
to $15 million or more. Financing, if available, would be sought through bank
loans or a joint venture. Normal expenditures for the next fiscal year, such as
holding costs, general administration, accounting and legal are estimated to be
$350,000, with exploration and related activities estimated at $500,000 .
Management believes, but cannot assure, that the Company will be able to obtain
funding to accomplish all projected tasks. There can be no assurance that
current exploration and development work will lead to the opening of a mine at
El Chanate, that any mining will be profitable or that necessary additional
funding can be obtained. Assuming that the Company is able to obtain adequate
funding, the continuation of the development of the El Chanate project can be
maintained. (See "Part II, Item 6, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Liquidity and Capital Resources).

Leadville
During fiscal 2001, at the Breece Hill location in Leadville, Colorado,
geological studies and property acquisition continued. Preliminary results from
those studies indicate the possible existence of a near surface body of
gold/silver mineralization on Breece Hill and several gold/silver lode
structures in the Hopemore Mine. A determination of the feasibility of
development of an open pit mine on Breece Hill will require additional drilling,
significant metallurgical testing and analysis, preparation of feasibility
studies and mine plans, as well as an expanded land position.
Sinaloa, Mexico
In March 2001, the Company entered into a binding letter agreement with
International Northair Mines Ltd. and Grupo Northair de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.,
its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, pursuant to which International Northair
granted the Company the right to earn an undivided 51% interest in certain
mining concessions. These concessions, known as the Lobos and Los Lobitos
concessions, are located in the state of Sinaloa in Mexico.
During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2001 we completed Phase 1 exploration
drilling on the Lobos property located in Sinaloa, Mexico. Twenty-four reverse
circulation holes totaling 2,750 feet were completed at three separate strategic
locations along a mineralized corridor of at least 4000 feet in length. Phase
II, which was completed during fiscal 2001, consisted of road cuts, trench cuts
and sampling of trenches and mineralized outcrop.
Although the initial indications were promising, subsequent exploration did not
match expectations and the working interest was dropped.
Company Mill
The Company has a mill situated on a 20.73-acre site in Leadville, Colorado.
Construction of the mill began in 1987 and was completed in August of 1989. The
mill is not in operation at this time. Milling of ore would not be required if
heap leach technology were employed at the Company's property in Colorado.
Operations in Mexico, if initiated would be by contract and supervised by the
Company's staff or consultants.
Competition
The Company remains active in trying to identify potential exploration property
acquisitions where it believes the possibility of finding ore is promising.
There is intense competition in the acquisition of viable exploration and mining
properties. Most of the Company's competitors are larger and have greater
resources than the Company. The Company believes that there is no material
competition in the sale of metallic products because prices are based upon
standards established by the commodity exchange (London Metals Exchange market).

Employees
As of July 31, 2001, the Company had four full time employees, one part time
employee and two consultants.

Hopemore Project
The Leadville mining district is located 100 miles west of Denver, Colorado in
the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The weather is harsh with long winters and
short summers. The Hopemore Project can be reached by paved state highway and
other paved roads. Work by the Company started in 1984 with acquisition of the
Comstock Hopemore Group of claims. Retimbering of the entire Hopemore shaft
followed along with establishment of the new 7th level, partial rehabilitation
of the other levels, several raises, the 5th level connection with the Hunter
shaft, construction of a mill and the retimbering of the Hunter escape shaft.
Historically, the Company's properties were worked as separate mining areas, the
Hopemore and Hunter shafts in the Ibex area. The ores were not concentrated by
milling but were shipped directly to the Arkansas Valley Smelter in Leadville.
The Hopemore shaft was worked as part of the Ibex mines until approximately
1902. The Hopemore shaft was sunk in 1907 to reach the 7th level of the Ibex No.
4 mine. Ore bodies in the Leadville dolomite (Blue limestone) lie on the hanging
wall side (southwest) of the Ibex No. 4 vein. The ore is associated with a large
magnetite skarn replacement body in the Leadville dolomite. The Leadville
dolomite on the footwall (east) side of the Ibex No. 4 vein was mined via the
Hunter Shaft.
Ground conditions in the district generally do not allow open stopes, therefore,
square setting and backfilling with waste of low-grade ore was commonly
practiced. When the large ore bodies of the Hopemore were mined, zinc sulfide
ore was of no value. High zinc ore was penalized at the local lead smelter, and
it is believed that much of the backfill from historic operations may be
high-grade zinc mineralization.
El Chanate Project
The El Chanate project is located in the State of Sonora, Mexico, 37 kilometers
northeast of town of Caborca. It is accessible by paved and all weather dirt
roads. Driving time from Caborca is approximately 40 minutes. Access is via the
village of 16 de September.
The project is situated on the Sonora desert in a harsh, hot and windy climate,
generally devoid of vegetation with the exception of cactus. The terrain is
generally flat with immense, shallow basins, scattered rock outcropping and low
rocky hills and ridges. The desert floor is covered by shallow, fine sediment,
gravel and caliche. The main body of the known surface gold covers and
irregularly shaped area of approximately 1800 feet long by 900 feet wide.
Several satellite bodies on surface exist which have not been thoroughly
explored. Assays on chip samples taken from trenches at these locations by the
Company indicate encouraging grades of gold.
7
The general El Chanate mine area has been mined for gold since the early 19th
century. A number of old underground workings exist characterized by narrow
shafts, to a depth of several hundred feet and connecting drifts and cross cuts.
No information exists regarding the amount of gold taken out; however,
indications are that mining was conducted on a small scale.
GEOLOGY
Hopemore Project
The Hopemore area has been mined from the Ibex No. 7 level. The lower host rocks
of the Manitou and Dyer formations are thought to remain unexplored. Steep
sulfide veins commonly control the mineralized zones. Four veins have been
identified which could feed replacement mineral bodies in these underlying
formations. The potential mineral bodies are massive sulfide and could contain
between 25,000 to 80,000 tons each of mineralized material. [Scott Hazlitt
Geological Report, Leadville Mining & Milling Properties, January 1993].
Geology
The ore deposits in the Leadville district include precious and base metal
massive sulfide veins and carbonate hosted deposits near surface oxidized
deposits, gold bearing magnetite skarns, and gold rich veins. The major ore
bodies are hosted in Paleozoic aged, shelf carbonate rocks with a total
thickness of 600 feet.
These sedimentary rocks have been intruded by a series of sills and dikes and
faulted, resulting in complex geology. The Company's properties are located on
Breece Hill, which is a major intrusive center, and contain gold, silver and
base metal minerals.
Weston Fault Massive Sulfide
The Weston fault forms the western boundary of the down-dropped block that
contains the deposits of the Black Cloud mine south and east of the Company's
properties. The Black Cloud mine was operated from the early 1970's until 1998
by ASARCO, primarily for lead and zinc. The Hopemore-Hunter workings are
separated from the Penn Group by the Weston fault that has had a complex history
of movement. Early compressional tectonics are believed to have resulted in
minor over thrusting and drag folding, possibly similar to that along the Tucson
Main Fault on Iron Hill. Later normal faulting resulted in a near vertical
structure with the east side down faulted. These two episodes of movement are
believed to have produced two strands of the Western Fault. The ground between
the two strands of the fault should have undergone good ground preparation and
may contain the favorable carbonate section for massive sulfide blanket
mineralization. [Scott Hazlitt Geological Report, Leadville Mining & Milling
Properties, January 1993].
Weston Fault Stockwork Breccia
Along the southern strike of the Weston fault zone, intersecting faults have
hosted stockwork breccia zones that contain precious metals and are low in
sulfides. The Antioch mine was mined for precious metals during the early part
of the twentieth century, producing a siliceous gold ore contained in a broken
and brecciated porphyry body between two fault strands. Another similar
8
stockwork breccia zone is known as the South Ibex stockwork or Capital stope
that contained approximately 250,000 tons of ore. There are two strands of the
Weston fault on the Company's property. The strike length controlled is from
1,400-1,600 feet. [Scott Hazlitt Geological Report, Leadville Mining & Milling
Properties, January 1993].
El Chanate Project
The project area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Late Jurassic - Early
Cretaceous Bisbee Group, and the Late Cretaceous Chanate Group, which locally
are overlain by andesites of the Cretaceous El Charro volcanic complex. The
sedimentary strata are locally intruded by Andesitic sills and dikes, a
microporphyritic latite and by diorite stock. The sedimentary strata are
comprised of mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate, shale and limestone.
Within the drilled resource area, a predecessor exploration company
differentiated two units on the basis of their position relative to the Chanate
fault. The upper member is an undifferentiated sequence of sandstone,
conglomerate and lesser mudstone that lies above the Chanate fault and it is
assigned to the Escalante Formation of the Middle Cretaceous Chanate Group. The
lower member is comprised of mudstone with intercalated sandstone lenses and
thin limestone interbreds; it lies below the Chanate fault and is assigned to
the Arroyo Sasabe Formation of the Lower Cretaceous Bisbee Group. The Arroyo
Sasabe Fm (formation) overlies the Morita Formation of the Bisbee Group. Both
the Escalante and Arroyo Sasabe formations are significantly mineralized
proximal to the Chanate fault, while the Morita Formation is barren.
The main structural feature of the project area is the Chanate fault, a 7km long
(minimum) northwest-striking, variably southwest-dipping structure that has been
interpreted to be a thrust fault. The Chanate fault is overturned
(north-dipping) at surface, and is marked by brittle deformation and shearing
which has created a pronounced fracture foliation and fissility in the host
rocks. In drillholes the fault is often marked the presence of an andesite dike.
Reports prepared by a predecessor exploration company describe the fault as
consisting of a series of thrust ramps and flats; however, geologic cross
sections which the Company has reviewed but did not prepare may negate this
interpretation.
Alteration/Mineralization
A predecessor exploration company has defined a 600 meter long, 300 meter wide,
120 meter thick zone of alteration that is centered about the Chanate fault. The
strata within this zone have been sericitized, silicified and pyritized to
varying degrees. In surface outcrop the altered zone is distinguished by its
bleached appearance relative to unaltered rock. The mineralized zone contains
only single digit ppm levels of silver. Dense swarms of veinlets form thick,
mineralized lenses, within a larger area of subeconomic but anomalous gold
concentrations. Drillhole data indicates that the mineralized lenses are
subhorizontal to gently southwest-dipping and are grossly parallel to the
Chanate fault. The fault zone itself is only weakly mineralized, although strata
in the near hangingwall and footwall are appreciably mineralized. A fluid
inclusion study by an independent geologist concluded, on the basis of the high
CO2 content of three phase (H2O - CO2liquid- CO2gas) inclusions, that the
deposit could not have formed under pressures typical of epithermal and porphyry
environments, and that quartz textures are consistent with formation at
lithostatic pressures at greater than 6 kilometers depth. That study
characterized the deposit as mesothermal.
9
Work to Date
The El Chanate property has been the site of small scale mining of high grade
quartz veins (La Cuchilla mine) during the last century. Modern exploration
includes a few core holes drilled by Phelps Dodge in the 1960's as part of a
copper exploration program. Kennecott conducted geologic mapping and geochemical
sampling in 1991 and dropped the property. A Mexican subsidiary of AngloGold
explored the property intermittently between 1992 and 1997, and has conducted
extensive surface geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical studies
and drilling, including 11,000 meters of trenching, over 14 line-kilometers of
induced polarization geophysical surveys, 61 line-kilometers of VLF-magnetometry
geophysical surveys, 87 line-kilometers of enzyme leach geochemical surveys and
34,000 meters of RC drilling in 190 holes and 1080 meters of diamond drilling in
9 holes. That company also commissioned various consultant studies concerning
petrography, fluid inclusions, air photo interpretation and structural analyses,
and conducted some metallurgical testwork.
Further Development
As indicated above, the Company has had preliminary analysis of the deposit
performed by an independent consultant, based on the drilling logs, metallurgy,
results of surface sampling and assays in Minera Chanate's possession.
Management believes that the results of that analysis are sufficiently
encouraging that, assuming the necessary funding can be obtained, management
intends to perform further exploration and development work at the El Chanate
project (see the discussion below) and, if warranted, to commission the
preparation of a feasibility study for a small open-pit, heap-leaching operation
at El Chanate.
Our Preliminary Property Development Outline for the El Chanate Project
Assuming sufficient funding is available, the following steps are those that we
currently believe are necessary at the El Chanate project as we continue to work
toward making a decision about development of a mine at that project:
Confirming Drilling. Drill four or five deep core holes in the heart of the
Chanate deposit to confirm existing exploration results. Drill 50 shallow RC
holes to confirm the deposit grade in the upper portion of the proposed location
of the pit. These holes may increase the grade as previously estimated by RC
drilling. The core samples will be utilized in further metallurgical testing.
Metallurgical Testing. The test work will utilize drill core for further studies
of the metallurgical recovery. It is important to know what the recoveries will
be in the heart of the deposit from where initial production will come. The
design of a crusher and/or grinding system and a gold recovery plant will be
based on the test work.
Refined Economic Optimization Studies. Calculate engineered capital costs using
contract mining and new metallurgical recovery information. Calculate operating
cost estimates. Include Mexican tax considerations and labor rates as well as
currency fluctuations
10
Mine Planning and Design of Service Facilities. Develop an engineered mine plan
with detailed month by month production schedules. Mine planning will include:
equipment types and sizes, bench heights and haul road design; leach pad design
and site location; access road location; fuel location and storage;
administration facility; maintenance shop and warehouse complex; assay
laboratory; gate house and ambulance shelter; power and electrical supplies and
distribution lines; water supply and distribution lines; security provisions;
sewage disposal sites; propane supply; and fire protection.
Environmental and Permitting. We already own the surface over the deposit. We
need to obtain mining permits from state, federal and local governments,
including water permits for processing ores and electrical permits to purchase
or produce our own power. We also need to establish reclamation plans.
Site Construction. If warranted, construct an open pit gold mine and facility
capable of producing about 2.5 million tons per year of ore and about 50,000
ounces of gold per year at a targeted cash cost of less than $200 per ounce.
Planned Activities. Activities are planned for the fiscal year ending July 31,
2002 as indicated in Item 6. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations; Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is not presently a party to any material litigation.

Fiscal 2001 Compared to Fiscal 2000
Results of Operations
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001, we continued our due diligence with
regards to the mineral concessions located in Northwest Mexico owned by Minera
Chanate. Based upon the results of our due diligence, we dropped 62 of the 106
concessions, leaving 44 concessions. We exercised the option to obtain 100% of
the shares of Minera Chanate and closed the transaction in June 2001. We are
seeking joint venture partners to participate in the further exploration and
development of the Minera Chanate concessions. These claims are in excess of 44
square miles of terrain.
During the year, we also continued geological evaluation of several areas within
the concessions to determine whether they have open pit potential. These
properties will be subject to further evaluation and possible reverse
circulation ("R.C.") drilling.
El Chanate, one of the primary targets within the Minera Chanate concessions,
was also subject to further economic evaluation. Scott Hazlitt, our mining
project manager, conducted reserve evaluation and computer simulations together
with the independent services of Mine Reserve Associates of Lakewood, Colorado.
Minerals Advisory Group, LLC of Tucson, Arizona conducted mine planning and
equipment. Kappes, Cassidy and Associates of Reno, Nevada is studying the
metallurgy by conducting grinding studies with bottle roll and column tests for
solubility on El Chanate mineral samples. The result of the grinding studies
shows that the gold recovery increases significantly as grinding reduces the ore
particle size. Metallurgical studies by R.D.I. of Denver, Colorado indicated
encouraging gold recoveries using heap leach cyanide technology.
Our evaluation of the Minera Chanate properties remains an on-going project.
Upon completion of our evaluation, provided we determine that the results are
satisfactory, we hope to be ready for development and subsequent production. We
currently anticipate additional exploratory drilling will be conducted, assuming
adequate funding is available, to expand the known deposits in addition to,
infill-drilling, which would expand the present drill pattern to improve drill
hole density.
14
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001 we completed Phase I and Phase II
exploration on the Lobos property located in Sinaloa, Mexico at a total cost of
$ 232,378. The Lobos property consists of two concessions totaling over 7,000
acres (the "Lobos Program"). The Lobos Program was carried out under an option
agreement with International Northair Mines Ltd. ("INM"), of Vancouver, BC
(CDNX:INM) and its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary pursuant to which we can earn
a 51% interest in INM's Lobos Project. The Company subsequently dropped its
interest in the Lobos Program.
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000, the Company continued exploration
and development activity at its gold/silver/base metal mining project in
Colorado. During this time, the Company did not receive revenue from its
operations although it expended considerable sums for the development of its
proposed mining and milling operation. (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources").
The primary effort during fiscal 2000 was exploration of the Hopemore mine by
longhole, diamond core drilling, tunneling and drifting. In addition, an R.C.
drilling program was initiated on Breece Hill in search of a surface mineable
deposit of gold and silver.
During the year, the Company drilled approximately 7,800 feet of diamond core
hole in the Hopemore mine, directing the drill towards projected targets
associated with the #4, #5, #69 and #70 veins and B-Zone. Much of the drill core
exhibited low-grade gold/silver mineralization and included a number of
high-grade gold and silver intervals that require further drilling to determine
size and grade. The exploratory effort was judged to have served its primary
purpose to test promising targets and to locate sites of potential, high-grade
gold ore. The underground drilling program also provided vital information
which, when combined with surface geological data such as oxidized material,
casts, box works, and jasperoid from old mine dumps, contributed to the decision
to initiate the R.C. drilling program, in search of a surface mineable deposit
of gold and silver.
The Phase #1 R.C. drilling program on Breece Hill generally covered the area
occupied by the Hunter, Old Highland Chief, Highland Mary and President mines.
The drill site measured 1/4 mile in length and 500 feet in width. The drill
results were logged, mapped and digitized. The evaluation is continuing. The
Phase #2 program followed Phase #1 after a short time interval and covered the
northwest end of the Breece Hill magnetic anomaly near Adelaide Park, but also
included additional drilling at the Hunter location. The Phase #2 drilling
program and evaluation is also continuing. A total number of 34 R.C. holes have
been drilled to date, each varying in depth from 350 to 600 feet, totaling
15,950 feet of hole. The preliminary results of drilling suggest the possible
existence of a body of near surface gold/silver mineralization that may be
amendable to open pit-mining methods. More information is needed before this can
be confirmed.
During fiscal year 2000, the Company engaged in an effort to acquire new mineral
leases on Breece Hill. This effort has been successful and is continuing. As a
result, the Company was able to acquire an additional 150.5 gross acres and 63.0
net acres. This acreage was leased on a royalty basis for a period of 10 to 20
years.
15
The Company generated no revenues from operations during the fiscal years ended
July 31, 2001 and 2000. There were de minimis non-operating revenues during
these periods of $2,969 and $1,945, respectively.
Over all, costs and expenses increased by $7,888,733 (approximately 515%) from
2000 ($1,531,285) to 2001 ($9,420,018).
Mine expenses increased by $196,225 (approximately 25.0%) from 2000 ($786,360)
to 2001 ($982,585). The increase in mine expenses resulted primarily from
expanded work at the mine and exploration at the Mexican properties.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $913,092
(approximately 176%) from 2000 ($518,018) to 2001 ($1,431,110) primarily due to
an increase in the cost of raising capital.
Stock based compensation increased by $6,780,915 (3,060%) from 2000 ($221,585)
to 2001 ($7,002,500) primarily due to the excess of market value of the options
granted to the exercise price of the options.
As a result, the Company's net loss for 2001 was $9,418,266, which was
$7,888,246 (approximately 516%) more than its 2000 loss of $1,530,020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2001, the Company had working capital deficit of $3,301. The
Company can only continue as a going concern in the event that it obtains
additional capital. As noted below, management anticipates that it will need at
least $10,787,500 in order to carry out its plans for fiscal 2002 which includes
the costs of administration and mine related activities. To the extent that cash
flow is unavailable, management intends to raise all necessary capital through
the sale of its securities and/or debt financing.
Specific plans to obtain financing will most likely include bank financing
and/or private placements of the Company's securities to institutions; private
individuals and/or investment groups. During fiscal 2001, the Company raised
approximately $1,775,716 through the sale of common stock. These investments
have enabled the Company to proceed with its exploration of the El Chanate
concessions and the Lobos properties and the acquisition of Minera Chanate.
16
Assuming that the Company is able to obtain funds, planned activities over the
next year in Mexico, in order of priority, are as set forth below. Some of these
activities may not be completed by July 31, 2002, the end of the Company's
current fiscal year.
Activity Estimated Cost
-------- --------------
Core Drilling and Assaying $200,000
Resource Estimation $10,000
Metallurgical Testing $20,000
Mine Planning $15,000
Process Design/Planning $10,000
Reserve Estimation $2,500
Site Layout $2,500
Capital Budget Estimation $2,500
Operating Cost Estimation $2,500
Life of Mine Cash Flow Analysis $2,500
Engineering & Holding Costs- $25,000
Mine Construction (El Chanate) $10,000,000
--------------
TOTAL $10,292,500
Aside from the above planned activities, the Company's basic administrative
capitals needs (e.g. rent, salaries, utilities, etc.) are approximately $41,000
per month ($495,000 per year). Management has been funding these basic
requirements and hopes to continue to fund these requirements through the
private sale of its Common Stock. During the year ended July 31, 2001, the
Company obtained approximately $1,775,716 from the private sale of Common Stock.
During the fiscal year 2002 the Company needs approximately $10,787,500 in order
to complete the planned projects. In the event not all funds are available, some
projects could be curtailed or eliminated
There is no assurance whatsoever that the Company will generate any revenues
during the fiscal year ending July 31, 2002 or that any of the Company's
proposed plans to raise capital and otherwise fund operations will prove
successful. The Company's inability to obtain sufficient funding will delay the
Company's planned operations or, possibly, force the Company to go out of
business.
Environmental Issues
Management does not expect that environmental issues will have an adverse
material effect on the Company's liquidity or earnings. Before any mining
development or mining exploration or construction of milling facilities could
begin at the Company's Leadville properties, it was necessary to meet all
environmental requirements and to satisfy the regulatory agencies in Colorado
that the Company's proposed procedures fell within the boundaries of sound
environmental practice. The Company is bonded to insure procedures and
reclamation of any
17
areas disturbed by the Company's activities. In 1997, the Colorado Mined Land
Reclamation Board reviewed the Company's permit and bond and determined that an
increase in the bond was necessary. At that time, the Company placed an
additional $6,000 in escrow against any future indemnity. The Company again
increased the bond by an additional $24,550 and $6,600, respectively on March
14, 2000 and July 25, 2000. The current amount of this bond is $37,150. In
Mexico, we are not aware of any significant environmental concerns or existing
reclamation requirements at the Minera Chanate properties. However, we will be
required to obtain various environmental and related permits in order to engage
in our planned activities at El Chanate. The costs and any delays associated
with obtaining these required permits could have an impact on our ability to
timely complete our planned activities at El Chanate and ultimately on the
feasibility of opening a mine.
Part of the Leadville Mining District was declared a Superfund site. Several
mining companies and one individual were declared defendants in a possible
lawsuit. The Company was not named a defendant or Possible Responsible Party.
The Company did respond in full detail to a lengthy questionnaire prepared by
the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regarding the Company's proposed
procedures and past activities in November 1990. To the Company's knowledge, the
EPA has initiated no further comments or questions.
The Company does include in all its internal revenue and cost projections a
certain amount for environmental and reclamation costs on an ongoing basis. This
amount is determined at a fixed amount of $1.50 per ton of material to be milled
on a continual, ongoing basis to provide for further tailing disposal sites and
to reclaim the tailings disposal sites in use. At this time, there does not
appear to be any environmental costs to be incurred by the Company beyond those
already addressed above. No assurance can be given that environmental
regulations will not be changed in a manner that would adversely affect the
Company's planned operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------
Other schedules not submitted are omitted, because the information is included
elsewhere in the financial statements or the notes thereto, or the conditions
requiring the filing of these schedules are not applicable.
As to certain matters, the financial statements herein differ in presentation
from, and include data which are not contained in, the Company's published
financial statements to stockholders. Such presentation and additional data are
submitted solely for the purpose of complying with the applicable accounting
requirements of Form 10-KSB and Regulation S-X.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To The Board of Directors & Shareholders of
Leadville Mining and Milling Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Leadville Mining
and Milling Corp. and subsidiaries (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of July
31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended July 31, 2001 and for the period September 17, 1982 (Inception) to July
31, 2001. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Leadville Mining
and Milling Corp. and subsidiaries (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of July
31, 2001 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2001 and for the period
September 17, 1982 (Inception) to July 31, 2001 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses through July 31,
2001 of $19,228,130 and has a working capital deficiency of $3,301 that raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 10. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

LEADVILLE MINING AND MILLING CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2001
NOTE 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Leadville Mining and Milling Corp. ("Leadville") was incorporated in
February 1982 in the State of Nevada. Leadville owns rights to property located
in the California Mining District, Lake County, Colorado and in the State of
Sonora, Mexico and is engaged in the business of mining and exploration of gold
and other minerals from its properties. Leadville is a development stage
enterprise and has elected July 31 as its fiscal year.
On February 1, 2001 Leadville established a wholly owned subsidiary,
Leadville Mining and Milling Holding Corporation (a Nevada Corporation)
("Holding").
Effective December 15, 2000, Leadville obtained an option from AngloGold
North America Inc. to purchase from AngloGold North America Inc, and AngloGold
(Jerritt Canyon) Corp. 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Minera
Chanate, S.A. de C.V., ("Minera") a subsidiary of those two companies. Minera's
assets consist of certain exploitation and exploration concessions of the States
of Sonora, Chihuahua and Guerrero, Mexico.
Pursuant to the option, during fiscal 2001, Leadville provided AngloGold
funds needed of approximately $145,000 to cover all rental and maintenance
payments required to hold Minera's concessions.
On June 29, 2001 Leadville exercised its option to purchase all of the
stock of Minera. In addition, although it exercised such option, Leadville must
make a payment of $50,000 to AngloGold pursuant to the option agreement. If such
$50,000 payment is not made by December 15, 2001, Leadville must sell back to
AngloGold the Minera shares for nominal consideration (see Note 3).
Leadville and its two wholly owned subsidiaries Holding and Minera are
hereafter collectively referred to as the Company.
Under the terms of the option, Leadville has granted AngloGold the right to
designate one of its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries to receive a one-time
option to purchase 51% of Minera Chanate. That Option is exercisable over a 180
day period commencing at such time as Leadville notifies AngloGold that we have
made a good faith determination that we have gold-bearing ore deposits on any
one of the identified group of Minera Chanate properties, when aggregated with
any ore that Leadville has mined, produced and sold from such properties, of in
excess of 2,000,000 troy ounces of contained gold. The exercise price would
equal twice Leadville's project costs on the properties during the period
commencing on December 15, 2000 and ending on the date of such notice.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. However, as of July 31, 2001, the
Company was a development stage enterprise and has incurred recurring losses
aggregating $19,228,130 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. As indicated in Note 10, the Company is in the
process of raising additional capital and financing. Continuation of the Company
is dependent on (1) consummation of the contemplated financings, (2) achieving
sufficiently profitable operations (3) subsequently maintaining adequate
financing arrangements and (4) its exiting the development stage. These
financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of assets carrying amounts and classification
of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

LEADVILLE MINING AND MILLING CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2001
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Leadville
Mining and Milling Corp. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash,
loans receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximated fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues, if any, from sales of minerals are recognized only upon receipt
of final settlement funds.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is reported at cost. It is the Company's policy to
capitalize costs incurred to improve and develop the mining and milling
property. General and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred.
Depletion of mining and milling improvements will be computed at cost using
the units of production method. The Company has made no provision for depletion
as the mine and mill are not in the production stage. Provision is made for the
depreciation of office furniture fixtures and equipment, machinery and
equipment, and building. Depreciation is computed using both straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which
are 7 years for personal property and 32 years for real property.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of the Company's Mexican subsidiary are translated
to US dollars using the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Amounts
on the statement of operations are translated at the average exchange rates
during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency translation are
included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of accumulated foreign translation
adjustments.
Income Taxes
The Company records deferred income taxes using the liability method. Under
the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial
statement and income tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. An
allowance is recorded, based upon currently available information, when it is
more likely than not that any or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The provision for income taxes includes taxes currently payable, if
any, plus the net change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities
recorded by the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2001
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to its employees using
the intrinsic value method, which requires the recognition of compensation
expense over the vesting period of the option when the exercise price of the
stock option granted is less than the fair value of the underlying common stock.
Additionally, the Company provides pro forma disclosure of net loss and loss per
share as if the fair value method has been applied in measuring compensation
expense for stock options granted. Stock-based compensation related to options
granted to non-employees is recognized using the fair value method.
Loss Per Share
The computation of loss per share of common stock is computed by diving net
loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during that period.
Because the Company is incurring losses, the effect of stock options and
warrants is antidilutive. Accordingly, the Company's presentation of diluted
earnings per share is the same as that on basic earnings per share.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosures 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 these estimates.
Environmental Remediation Costs
Environmental remediation costs are accrued based on estimates of known
environmental remediation exposure. Such accruals are recorded even if
significant uncertainties exist over the ultimate cost of the remediation.
Ongoing environmental compliance costs, including maintenance and monitoring
costs are expensed as incurred. There were no environmental remediation costs
accrued at July 31, 2001.
Reclassifications
Certain items in these financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2001
NOTE 3 - Acquisition
On June 29, 2001, Leadville completed the acquisition of all of the issued
and outstanding common stock of Minera Chanate, S.A. de C.V. ("Minera") a
Mexican corporation, at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50,000.
This transaction was accounted for under the purchase method. Accordingly, the
consolidated balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities of Minera at July
31, 2001 and the consolidated statement of operations include the results of
Minera operations from June 29, 2001.
On the basis of a pro forma consolidation of the results of operations as
if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2000, unaudited
consolidated net loss and basic loss per share for the year ended July 31, 2000
would have been approximately, $(1,530,020) and $(.07) and for the year ended
July 31, 2001 would have been approximately $(9,946,046) and $(.33)
respectively. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations as they would have been had the transaction been
effected at the beginning of fiscal 2000.
NOTE 4 - Mining Reclamation Bonds
These represent certificates of deposit that have been deposited as
security for Mining Reclamation Bonds. They bear interest at rates varying from
5.01% to 6.64% annually and mature at various dates in 2004 and 2005
NOTE 5 - Loans Receivable - Related Party
Loans receivable - related party consists of short-term revolving loans
made by the Company to an employee who is also a director. This loan is
non-interest bearing and due on demand.
NOTE 6 - Loans Receivable - Others
Loans receivable - others consists of the following:

Stock Options
The Company recognized approximately $7,002,500 and $221,585 of stock-based
compensation expense during the years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 respectively,
relating to options granted with exercise prices below the estimated fair market
value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The Company applies
APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for these options.
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS") was issued by the FASB in 1995 and, if fully
adopted, changes the methods for recognition of cost on options similar to those
of the Company. The Company has adopted the disclosures-only provision of SFAS
123. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company has
accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.5%; volatility factor of the expected
market price of the Company's common stock of .50; and a weighted-average
expected life of the option of 3 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its stock options.

NOTE 8 - Stockholders' Equity (Continued)
Stock Options (Continued)
Had compensation cost for stock options granted been determined based on
the fair value at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the
Company's net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:
Year Ended
July 31, 2001
----------------
Net loss- as reported $ (9,418,266)
Net loss - pro forma (11,114,098)

Loss per share - pro forma
Basic $ (.37)
The effects of applying the pro forma disclosures of SFAS 123 are not
likely to be representative of the effects on reported net earnings for future
years.
Authorized Common Stock
In September 1993 the Company's shareholders approved an increase in the
authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares.
Effective April 11, 1998 the Company underwent a 1 for 10 reverse split
with all fractions being rounded up into new common stock.
All references to common stock are restated to reflect the 1 for 10 reverse
split.
NOTE 9 - Income Taxes
For income tax purposes, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward
("NOL") at July 31, 2001 of approximately $9,093,000 beginning to expire in 2002
if not offset against future federal taxable income. There may be certain
limitations as to the future annual use of the NOLs due to certain changes in
the Company's ownership.
Income tax benefit attributable to net loss differed from the amounts
computed by applying the statutory Federal Income tax rate applicable for each
period as a result of the following:
Year Ended July 31,
--------------------------
2001 2000
---------- ----------
Computed "expected" tax benefit $3,091,620 $2,269,500

JULY 31, 2001
NOTE 9 - Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $3,091,620 at July 31,
2001 resulting primarily from net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax
assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance resulting from the
uncertainty surrounding their future realization.
NOTE 10 - Liquidity and Going Concern Uncertainty
The Company has incurred recurring losses amounting to $19,228,130 at July
31, 2001, and has working capital deficiency of $3,301. This raises substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Specific plans to obtain financing for a full scale mining and milling
operation include the following:
Private placements of the Company's securities to institutions, private
individuals, mining companies, and/or investment groups. During the fiscal year
ended July 31, 2001 the Company raised approximately $1,776,000 through the
sales of common stock to investors.
The Company plans to further develop its newly acquired Mexican properties.
There is no assurance whatsoever that any of the Company's proposed plans
to raise capital and otherwise fund operations will prove successful. The
Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability
to obtain sufficient funding as discussed above and its inability to do so will
delay or cease the Company's planned operations as discussed above.
NOTE 11 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be named in legal actions which are
incidental to the industry in which the Company operates. Currently, the Company
is not a party to any legal proceedings.
Lease Commitments - New York
The Company entered into an operating lease for its office facility that
terminates on August 31, 2002. In addition to base rent, the lease calls for
payment of utilities and other occupancy costs.
Approximate future minimum payments under this lease are as follows:
Year Ending July 31,
2002 $ 22,600
2003 1,900
--------
$ 24,500
========
Rent expense under this lease was approximately $21,500 and $22,600 for the
years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
