ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
General
We intend to commence business operations in the mineral property exploration sector. To date, we have not conducted any exploration activities. We have entered into a mineral property option agreement with Peter Hawley of Val Dor Qyebec Canada, whereby we may acquire a 90% interest in a total of 6 mineral claims, totaling 95.70 Hectares located in Levy Township, Val Dor Mining District, Quebec, Canada. These claims are identified by claim numbers 5081367 expires 07/19/2006, 5090403 expires 04/22/2006, 5090404 expires 04/22/2006, 5092077 expires 11/22/2006, 5092078 expires 11/22/2006 and 5092079 expires 11/22/2006 respectively. We refer to these mineral claims respectively as the Kayla Property. This option is exercisable by us completing aggregate exploration expenditures of $15,000 on the Kayla Property by December 31, 2004, and a balance of $135,000 by December 31, 2005. The Property is also Subject to a 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty, payable to Peter Hawley. To date, we have not entered the exploration phase of our business plan. Our corporate activities to date have mainly been of an organizational nature including the acquisition of our option and the preparatory work in conjunction with filing this registration statement.
Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Kayla Property in order to assess whether these claims possess commercially viable mineralization of Copper and/or zinc and silver, and there can be no assurance that a commercially viable deposit exists on the Kayla property until sufficient and appropriate geological work has been performed. This may involve additional exploration work on the Kayla Property there and above our planned exploration program, including, additional sampling and assaying, geochemical analysis, geophysical surveys, drilling, metallurgical and engineering work, reclamation, Property maintenance fees and salaries or fees paid for work on the Property as well as economic and legal feasibility studies. Our proposed exploration program is designed to search for commercially exploitable deposits.
We were incorporated on February 6, 2002 under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 104-1015 Columbia Street, Suite 811 New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada. Our telephone number is 604-351-3351, Facsimile .
We are subject to applicable governmental regulations and restrictions including but not limited to the posting of any reclamation bonds as may be required by any governmental regulations or regulatory authorities. Governmental regulations and restrictions requires posting of a bond, sufficient to complete reclamation should a permittee fail to carry out his reclamation plan. This includes correcting any surface or ground water pollution resulting from the mining operation. While bonds are not released where pollutional discharges are identified, the cost of long-term treatment often greatly exceeds the bond amount. As a result, receiving streams and associated watershed areas may be degraded when a bond is forfeited and an operator stops treating discharges. The amount of the bond required has not yet been determined.

The Kayla Property
The Kayla property consists of at least 3 known mineralized zones open at depth and on strike. Zones 1, 2 and 3 occur at or near the contact of the Bourbeau Sill and the Blondeau Formation. At present management believes that these zones are genetically related and may be parts of one larger zone. Mineralization of these zones consists of disseminated massive chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, silver, sphalerite and lesser amounts of arsenopyrite, marcasite and galena. A fourth zone adjacent to the west of the property consists of chalcopyrite bearing quartz veins. All zones are open at depth and on strike.
The Kayla Property contains 7 airborne Input anomalies, which are 6-channel strength. These are located on or near the above-mentioned zones and correspond to ground geophysical electromagnetic signatures.
The geology of the property comprises mainly of. Pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite are the dominant sulphides with lesser pyrite and galena.
The work performed has been limited with the most comprehensive and documented work performed by Ojibway Resources Ltd. This report proposes a detailed Phase 1 exploration program, which consists of surface stripping, mapping and sampling over known geophysical anomalies to outline a second phase drill program.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION, LOCATION AND ACCESS
The Kayla Property consists of 6 claims, which comprise a surface area of 95.70 hectares located in Levy Township, Quebec, Canada, 1 kilometer west of the town of Chapais, Quebec. The claims are registered with the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Resources, and are are represented by claim numbers 5081367 expires 07/19/2006, 5090403 expires 04/22/2006, 5090404 expires 04/22/2006, 5092077 expires 11/22/2006, 5092078 expires 11/22/2006 and 5092079 expires 11/22/2006 respectively. and are in good standing until 2006. The property is favorably located 45 kilometers and 1 kilometer west of the towns of Chibougamau and Chapais, respectfully, 180 kilometers east of Demaraisville and 315 kilometers northeast of Val DOr, Quebec, Canada. Direct access to the property is available via Highway 113, which bisects the central portion of the claim group, and via several maintained roads and trails. Most of the property is forested by jack pine. A small creek traverses the southwest corner of the claim group. Topographic relief on the property is low. Supplies, services and manpower are available in the Chapais Chibougamau area.
LOCAL GEOLOGY
The Kayla Property area is mostly underlain by the Blondeau Formation, which enclosed the Ventures and Bourbeau Sills. The rocks of this area underwent three folding events. The first one resulted in the formation of the Chapais syncline, which has an east southeast axis. Simultaneously or perhaps later, the north flank of the syncline was deformed into a Z shaped structure. This structure is segmented into steeply plunging folds at the hinges, a synformal anticline and an antiformal syncline to the north. The intrusion of the Opemisca pluton may have modified the orientation of the fold axes.
2
The area is characterized by the presence of numerous faults, which can be grouped in three major orientations, northeast, east west, and northwest (Lavoie, 1972). The northeast system includes the Gwillim Lake and Chibougamau Copper faults. Magnetic and geological data indicate that the hinge of the synform was displaced by the Gwillim Lake fault. The rocks are regionally metamorphosed to the greenschist facies, with local development of amphibolite facies, near intrusive margins.
The Kayla Property lies at or near the contact between the Blondeau Formation and the Bourbeau Sill. This contact is locally strongly sheared (Zone 2), the shearing being best developed in the chill margin of the Bourbeau Sill in this area.
Regionally, the dominantly felsic Blondeau Formation is characterized by a great variety of rhyolitic and dacitic lavas and their pyroclastic equivalents (Gobeil, 1973) which include acidic tuffs with chert horizons, some sediments derived from the acidic lavas. In a stratigraphic drill section to the Blondeau Formation at Barlow Lake, (Archer, 1984) 5 types of pyroclastic flows were recognized; minor mafic lava flows, volcanogenitic sediments, intraclastic sediments, heterolithic epiclastic sediments, and green and black shales. In the Kayla Property sections of the Blondeau Formation show the geology to consist of felsic and cherty volcanoclastites, chert horizons with some more massive and homogenous felsic volcanic rocks in places. The felsic volcanoclastites are the most abundant and also that the cherty volcanoclastites and chert horizons are largely restricted to the area near the massive sulphide zone. Minor green and black shales are interlayered within the felsic volcanoclastites. The Kayla Property consists of at least 3 known mineralized zones open at depth and on strike. Zones 1, 2 and 3 occur at or near the contact of the Bourbeau Sill and the Blondeau Formation. At present it is thought that these zones are genetically related and may represent the footwall of a larger ore body. Mineralization of these zones consists of disseminated massive chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrhotite, silver, sphalerite and lesser amounts of arsenopyrite, marcasite and galena.

Competition
The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. We will compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than us for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.
We must overcome significant barriers to enter into the business of mineral exploration as a result of our limited operating history. There can be no assurance that Lakefield Ventures Inc. will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures faced by us will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Administrative Offices
Lakefield Ventures, Inc. currently maintains its office at 104-1015 Columbia Street, Suite 811 New Westminster BC Canada. The telephone number is (604) 351-3351. Other than this office, Lakefield Ventures, Inc. does not currently maintain any other office facilities, and does not anticipate the need for maintaining any additional office facilities at any time in the foreseeable future. Lakefield Ventures, Inc. is provided with office space by its president at no charge to the company.
Employees
Lakefield Ventures, Inc. is an exploration stage company and currently has no employees other than its directors. Management expects to hire staff as necessary, and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees until the business plan is applied.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
Our plan of operations for the twelve months following the date of this annual report is to complete initial exploration programs on the Kayla property. We anticipate that this program will cost $15,000, Phase 1 and $135,000, Phase 2 respectively.
In addition, we anticipate spending over the next year $10,000 on professional fees, $15,000 on phase one of our exploration program $0 on salaries and wages, $0 on travel costs, $0 on promotional expenses and $5000 on other administrative expenses.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $30,000. We will not be able to proceed with either Phase of our exploration program, or meet our administrative expense requirements, without additional financing.
We will not be able to complete the initial exploration programs on our mineral property without additional financing. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock.
5
We may also seek to obtain short-term loans from our directors, although no such arrangement has been made. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing. . Due to these factors, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. To the extent managements plans are unsuccessful in circumventing the going concern uncertainty; the Company will cease all operations and no longer continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations for Year Ending March 31, 2004
We did not earn any revenues during the year ending March 31, 2004. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production on the Kayla Property. We are presently in the pre-exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization levels of minerals on the Kayla property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $ 3,076 for the fiscal year ended March 31,2004.
Our net loss decreased from $ 25,559 in fiscal 2003 to $ 3,076 in fiscal 2004 primarily due to a general decrease in company activity.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
At March 31, 2004, we had assets of $ 13,365 consisting of cash on hand in the amount of $12,465 , and other assets of $900, and no resource property cost advances.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

KAYLA PROPERTY
The Kayla Property consists of six claims totaling approximately 95.70 hectares, which are located in Levy Township, Val Dor Mining District, Quebec. . These claims are identified by claim numbers 5081367 expires 07/19/2006, 5090403 expires 04/22/2006, 5090404 expires 04/22/2006, 5092077 expires 11/22/2006, 5092078 expires 11/22/2006 and 5092079 expires 11/22/2006 respectively. A 100% interest in these claims were recorded in the name of Peter Hawley, which he holds in trust for the Company. On April 23, 2002 the company entered into an option agreement with Peter Hawley to purchase 90% of the Kayla for the sum of $2500.00 and spend at total of $150,000 on the exploration of the Kayla property by December 31, 2004.
6
Additionally, Mr. Hawley granted the company an extension to the original option agreement on December 31, 2003, whereby, the company would have to spend $15,000.00 on the Kayla Property on or before December 31,2004 and an additional $135,000 in exploration expenditures on or before December 31, 2005.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Lakefield Ventures, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Lakefield Ventures, Inc. as of March 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the period from February 6, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Lakefield Ventures, Inc. as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from February 6, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $28,635 since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Organization - The Company was incorporated in Nevada on February 6, 2002. The Company changed its fiscal year-end from September 30th to March 31st.
Exploration Stage Activities - The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage.
Going Concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no sales and has incurred a net loss $3,076 for the year ended March 31, 2004; a net loss of $25,559 for the year ended March 31, 2003; and a net loss of $28,635 for the period from February 6, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2004. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral properties. The Company may seek to obtain short-term loans from its directors as a way of funding cash flow requirements for the next twelve months. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. To the extent managements plans are unsuccessful in circumventing the going concern uncertainty; the Company will cease all operations and no longer continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 145 ("Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections"). This statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. Any gain or loss on the extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods has been reclassified into continuing operations. Management does not believe that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, ("Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities"). This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Prior to this statement, a liability was recognized when the entity committed to an exit plan. Management believes that this statement will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements; however, the statement will result in a change in accounting policy associated with the recognition of liabilities in connection with future restructuring charges. Management does not believe that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, ("Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.") This interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. This interpretation does not prescribe a specific approach for subsequently measuring the guarantor's recognized liability over the term of the related guarantee. This interpretation also incorporates, without change, the guidance in FASB Interpretation No. 34, "Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which is being superseded. Management does not believe that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 ("Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure"). This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Management does not believe that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities"). The interpretation defines a variable interest entity as corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights nor (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the equity to support its activities. A variable interest entity often holds financial assets, including loans or receivables, real estate or other property. A variable interest entity may be essentially passive or it may engage in research and development or other activities on behalf of another company. This interpretation requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The Company would have to consolidate any of its variable interest entities that meet the above criteria as of July 1, 2003. The interpretation also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that the company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. Management is in the process of determining if its interests in unconsolidated entities qualify as variable interest entities and, if so, whether the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interest, and results of activities are required to be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150 ("Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity"). This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Statement requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. The Company is currently classifying financial instruments within the scope of this Statement in accordance with this Statement. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management does not believe that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Mineral Property Option Payments and Exploration Costs - The Company expenses all costs related to the maintenance and exploration of mineral claims in which it has secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects; therefore, all costs are being expensed.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes - The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting, and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share - In accordance with SFAS No. 128 - "Earnings Per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At September 30, 2002, the Company has no common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation.
NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST
The Company has entered into an option agreement, dated April 15, 2002 to acquire a 90% interest in a total of six mineral claims located in the Levy Township in Quebec, Canada. In order to earn its interests, the Company made a cash payment totaling $2,500 upon consummating the agreement. Such amount was capitalized and amortized over the term of the option. Amortization expense was $800 and $800 for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Under the terms of the agreement the Company is required to incur exploration expenditures totaling $150,000, of which $15,000 is required to be expended by December 31, 2004 and $135,000 is required to be expended by December 31, 2005. The properties are subject to 1% net smelter return royalty fees.
NOTE 4 INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of temporary differences of revenue and expense items for financial statement and income tax purposes.
Since its formation the Company has incurred net operating losses. As of March 31, 2004 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward available to offset future taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes.
SFAS No. 109 requires the Company to recognize income tax benefits for loss carryforwards that have not previously been recorded. The tax benefits recognized must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that loss carryforwards will expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit, or that future deductibility
is uncertain. For financial statement purposes, the deferred tax asset for loss carryforwards has been fully offset by a valuation allowance since it is uncertain whether any future benefit will be realized.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. There were no deferred taxes for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Such amounts consist of minimum state taxes payable.
NOTE 5 CONTINGENCY
Mineral Property - The Company's mineral property interests have been acquired pursuant to option agreements. In order to retain its interest, the Company must satisfy the terms of the option agreements described in Note 3.
