FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This report includes statements regarding our plans, goals, strategies, intent, beliefs or current expectations. These statements are expressed in good faith and based upon a reasonable basis when made, but there can be no assurance that these expectations will be achieved or accomplished. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.). Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future revenue, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Although forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of management, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, business, economic and other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.
Item
1.
Business
Amarok Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 23, 2008 under the name Ukragro Corporation. The Company’s principal activity was mining properties for future commercial development and production.
On January 29, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation changing its name to Amarok Resources, Inc. In the same amendment, the Company changed its authorized capital to 175,000,000 shares of common stock at a restated par value of $.001. Effective February 23, 2010, the Company authorized a 60:1 stock split. The accompanying financial statements reflect the change in capital and stock split as if they occurred at the Company’s inception.
Effective February 1, 2010, the Company entered the exploratory stage as defined under the provisions of Accounting Codification Standard (“ASC”) 915-10.
Rodeo Creek Project, Nevada
On February 22, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Carlin Gold Resources, Inc, (“Carlin”) in which Carlin assigned the Company all of its rights, title, and interest in an exploration agreement between it and Trio Gold Corp (“Trio”). The assigned exploration agreement was dated January 28, 2010. In consideration for the assignment of the interest in the exploration agreement, the Company paid Carlin $1 and issued 100,000 shares of its common stock.
Trio has leased and has an option to purchase a 100% interest in 29 unpatented lode mining claims located in Nevada within the Carlin Gold Trend (the “Claims”). The Claims are subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Return.
Under the Agreement, the Company earns a 75% undivided interest in the Property during an earn-in period commencing in January 2010 and completing in December 2012 (the “earn-in period”). Upon completion of the earn-in period, a Joint Venture is to be formed with the same 75% / 25% interest the parties held during the earn-in period. The Joint Venture shall remain in effect for twenty-five years or as long as the claims are being actively mined or developed, whichever is longer. After the termination of the Joint Venture, the Claims shall revert back to Trio.
During the earn-in-period, the Company shall provide $5,500,000 in funding to cover operational costs according to the following schedule: $1,500,000 during the 2010 budget year, $2,000,000 during the 2011 budget year and $2,000,000 during the 2012 budget year. Each budget year shall commence on January 1 of that year and end on December 31 of that same year. Once the Company has provided $5,500,000 in funding for the project, the Company and Trio shall fund the operational costs jointly, with the Company providing 75% of the funds and Trio providing 25% of the funds.
The Company is required to pay a minimum annual royalty during the earn-in period to Trio according to the following schedule: $75,000 cash payment upon signing of the agreement, $100,000 cash payment on April 1, 2011 and $150,000 cash payment on April 1, 2012. The Company paid $75,000 to Trio on February 8, 2010.
In addition, within three months of the assignment, the Company is required to issue Trio shares of its common stock equaling 0.20% of its total issued and outstanding as of February 22, 2010. Upon expenditure of a minimum of $2,000,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon expending a minimum of $4,000,000 million on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon expenditure of $5,500,000 million on the claims, Trio shall receive a final 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. All shares issued shall be restricted common shares and will be stamped with the applicable hold period. On February 24, 2010, the Company and Trio Gold, Corp. agreed that the share issuances pursuant to the January 28, 2010 Exploration Agreement shall not exceed 360,600 shares.
Trio is a company incorporated in the Province of Alberta Canada. Trio’s current President is Harry Ruskowsky, the father of the Company’s sole officer and director.
Roger Janssen is the sole officer, director and shareholder of Carlin and a business associate of the Company’s sole officer and director.
Cueva Blanca Gold Property
On April 16, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with St. Elias Mines Ltd. (“St. Elias”) in which Amarok is given an option to earn a 60% interest, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty, in the Cueva Blanca gold property (1,200 hectares) in Northern Peru, which is wholly owned by St. Elias
.
Under the terms of the letter agreement, it is possible for the Company to acquire a 60% interest in the Property
(subject to a 1.5% NSR) in consideration of:
(a) making cash payments of $200,000 to St. Elias over a two-year period;
(b) issuing 100,000 common shares in the capital of Amarok to St. Elias; and
(c) incurring at least $1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property over a three-year period.
In addition, the Company shall have the right to purchase one-half of the 1.5% NSR from St. Elias for the sum of $1,500,000, thereby reducing the NSR payable to from 1.5% to 0.75%.
The Company’s first payment of $10,000, due on or before April 30, 2010, was postponed due to an unforeseen delay in receiving the documentation necessary for the Company to complete satisfactory due diligence. A letter dated April 30, 2010 between the Company and the President of St. Elias documents an understanding that the agreement shall remain in effect until receipt of proper documentation, upon which the Company will make the payment. The Company continues to work with St. Elias to finalize the formal operating agreement.
The Company’s first payment of $10,000 was paid on June 24, 2010. As of October 31, 2010, the Company has paid $27,603 in land stake fees to the local government. These payments are applied towards the initial $200,000 due to St. Elias.
Material Contracts and Agreements
The Company currently has the majority of its operations vested in the exploration development of the Rodeo Creek Project under its agreement with Trio Gold Corp. Drilling operations related to the exploration and development of this project are provided through Trio. The Company is required to provide funding only for these operations. This project currently provides no revenue.
United States mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, including the Clean Air Act; the Clean Water Act; the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act; the Endangered Species Act; the Federal Land Policy and Management Act; the National Environmental Policy Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and related state laws. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. Activities outside the United States are also subject to governmental regulations for the protection of the environment.
Competition and Mineral Prices
The mining industry has historically been intensely competitive and the increasing price of gold since 2002 has led a number of companies to begin once again to aggressively acquire claims and properties.
Employees
We currently have our sole officer and director Mr. Ruskowsky to perform management functions. We employ independent contractors to fulfill needs for accounting, legal, engineering and other professional services.
Item 2. P
r
operties
In February 2010, the Company entered into a six-month lease for an executive office suite located in Rancho Santa Margarita a rate of $1,200 per month. The services provided in the lease include telephone and fax usage, telephone answering, conference room usage and mail retrieval. The Company prepaid the six-month rent of $7,200. On September 1, 2010 the Company entered into a six month extension for the executive office suite, whereby the monthly rent increased by $17 per month.
Item 3.
Legal Proceedings

From time to time the Company may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

Item 7. Manag
em
ent's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
For the year ended October 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended October 31, 2009.
Results of Operations.
Revenues.
The Company had revenue for the year ended October 31, 2010 of $0 and exploratory costs of $1,803,306, as compared to the year ended October 31, 2009 of revenue $0 and production costs of $0.
Operating Expenses and Net Loss.
The Company’s net loss of $1,974,456 for the year ended October 31, 2010 was comprised of general and administrative expenses of $30,958, management fees to a related party in the amount of $80,000, contributed services of $1,750, professional fees in the amount of $49,597 and rent expenses of $9,934. The Company also had $1,089 in interest income. In comparison to the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company’s net loss of $34,464 was comprised of general and administrative expenses of $4,374, professional fees of $27,090 and contributed rent expense of $3,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company had cash of $2,011,633 as of October 31, 2010, as compared to $0 as of October 31, 2009. As of the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company had prepaid assets of $13,117, as compared to the year ended October 31, 2009; the Company had prepaid assets of $0. The Company also has $1,200 in security deposits as of October 31, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company had $56,902 in total current liabilities, which was represented by $10,612 in accounts payable, and $46,290 in related party accounts payable. This is in comparison to the year ended October 31, 2009, where the Company had $3,669 in total current liabilities, which was represented by $3,264 in accounts payable, and $405 in related party accounts payable.
The Company had no long-term liabilities for the year ended October 31, 2010, therefore the Company had total liabilities of $56,902. This is in comparison to the year ended October 31, 2009, where the Company no long-term liabilities and total liabilities of $3,669. The Company is not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties which may affect its future liquidity.
We are in exploratory stage operations and have not yet generated any revenues. 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 and possible cost overruns.
We will continue to seek additional financing in order to obtain the capital required to continue implementation of our business plan.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available to us on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to our existing shareholders.
Our Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months.
Our focus is to acquire mineral resource properties for exploration and development with the intent to bring the projects to feasibility at which time we will either contract out the operations or joint venture the project to qualified interested parties.
We had cash of $2,011,633 as of October 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, our available funds may not satisfy our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Our drilling schedules and minimum expenditure requirements related to our current projects will consume the majority of our current cash over the next twelve months and we are not presently developing any revenue from our operations.
We are not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.
In the event that we experience a shortfall in our capital, we intend to pursue capital through public or private financing as well as borrowings and other sources. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then our ability to expand our operations may be significantly hindered.
We are not currently conducting any research and development activities. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. We do not anticipate that we will purchase or sell any significant equipment. In the event that we expand our property interests or holdings, then we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease additional equipment.
Critical Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity date of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Mining Costs
Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire property are capitalized when incurred. General exploration costs and costs to maintain rights and leases are expensed as incurred. Management periodically reviews the recoverability of the capitalized mineral properties. Management takes into consideration various information including, but not limited to, historical production records taken from previous mining operations, results of exploration activities conducted to date, estimated future prices and reports and opinions of outside consultants. When it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned or its carrying value has been impaired, a provision is made for any expected loss on the project or property.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC No. 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of October 31, 2010. The Company’s financial instruments consist of payables and due to related party. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company follows ASC No. 260,
Earnings Per Share
(ASC No. 260) that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC No. 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net earnings (loss) per share are excluded. Potential common shares at October 31, 2010 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share included warrants exercisable into 6,000,000 shares of common stock. There were no potential common shares at October 31, 2009.

The disclosures about activity that occurs during the reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-20 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDE

T REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Amarok Resources, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Amarok Resources, Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of October 31, 2010 and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2010 and the cumulative since February 1, 2010 (inception of exploration stage) to October 31, 2010, and the statement of stockholder’s equity since October 23, 2008 (inception) to October 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Amarok Resources, Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of October 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2010 and the cumulative since February 1, 2010 (inception of exploration stage) to October 31, 2010, 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses from operations and has no source of revenues, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Amarok Resources, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Amarok Resources, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of October 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the twelve month period then ended and the periods from inception (October 23, 2008) through October 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 Amarok Resources, Inc. as of October 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above 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 1 to the financial statement, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Amarok Resources, Inc. (“Amarok” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 23, 2008 under the name Ukragro Corporation. The Company’s principal activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties for future commercial development and production.
On January 29, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation changing its name to Amarok Resources, Inc. In the same amendment, the Company changed its authorized capital to 175,000,000 shares of common stock at a restated par value of $0.001. Effective February 23, 2010, the Company authorized a 60:1 stock split. The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the change in capital and stock split as if they occurred at the Company’s inception.
Effective February 1, 2010, the Company entered the exploratory stage as defined under the provisions of Accounting Codification Standard (“ASC”) 915-10.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of October 31, 2010, had a combined accumulated deficit of $2,134,746. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations. Management intends to raise additional financing through debt financing and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining a prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, even if the company raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the Company will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity date of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Mining Costs
Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire property are capitalized when incurred. General exploration costs and costs to maintain rights and leases are expensed as incurred. Management periodically reviews the recoverability of the capitalized mineral properties. Management takes into consideration various information including, but not limited to, historical production records taken from previous mining operations, results of exploration activities conducted to date, estimated future prices and reports and opinions of outside consultants. When it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned or its carrying value has been impaired, a provision is made for any expected loss on the project or property.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Amarok Resources, Inc.
(An Exploratory Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC No. 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of October 31, 2010. The Company’s financial instruments consist of payables and due to related party. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company follows ASC No. 260,
Earnings Per Share
(ASC No. 260) that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC No. 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net earnings (loss) per share are excluded. Potential common shares at October 31, 2010 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share included warrants exercisable into 6,000,000 shares of common stock. There were no potential common shares at October 31, 2009.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in domestic financial institutions subject to insurance coverage issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Under FDIC rules, the Company is entitled to aggregate coverage as defined by Federal regulation per account type per separate legal entity per financial institution. During the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, and subsequent thereto, respectively, the Company, from time-to-time, may have had deposits in a financial institution with credit risk exposures in excess of statutory FDIC coverage. The Company has incurred no losses as a result of any unsecured situations.

Note 3 - Mining Claims
Rodeo Creek Project, Nevada
On February 22, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Carlin Gold Resources, Inc, (“Carlin”) in which Carlin assigned the Company all of its rights, title, and interest in an exploration agreement between it and Trio Gold Corp (“Trio”). The assigned exploration agreement was dated January 28, 2010. In consideration for the assignment of the interest in the exploration agreement, the Company paid Carlin $1 and issued 100,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $168,000 based upon the trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. The value of these shares has been charged to operations and included in exploration costs.
Trio has leased and has an option to purchase a 100% interest in 29 unpatented lode mining claims located in Nevada within the Carlin Gold Trend (the “Claims”). The Claims are subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Return.
Under the Agreement, the Company earns a 75% undivided interest in the Property during an earn-in period commencing in January 2010 and completing in December 2012 (the “earn-in period”). Upon completion of the earn-in period, a Joint Venture is to be formed with the same 75% / 25% interest the parties held during the earn-in period. The Joint Venture shall remain in effect for twenty-five years or as long as the claims are being actively mined or developed, whichever is longer. After the termination of the Joint Venture, the Claims shall revert back to Trio.
During the earn-in-period, the Company is to provide $5,500,000 in funding to cover operational costs according to the following schedule: $1,500,000 during the 2010 budget year, $2,000,000 during the 2011 budget year and $2,000,000 during the 2012 budget year. Each budget year shall commence on January 1 of that year and end on December 31 of that same year. Once the Company has provided $5,500,000 in funding for the project, the Company and Trio shall fund the operational costs jointly, with the Company providing 75% of the funds and Trio providing 25% of the funds.
The Company is required to pay a minimum annual royalty during the earn-in period to Trio according to the following schedule: $75,000 cash payment upon signing of the agreement, $100,000 cash payment on April 1, 2011 and $150,000 cash payment on April 1, 2012. The Company paid $75,000 to Trio on February 8, 2010, which was charged to operations and included in exploration costs.

In addition, within three months of the assignment, the Company is required to issue Trio shares of its common stock equaling 0.20% of its total issued and outstanding as of February 22, 2010. Upon expenditure of a minimum of $2,000,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon expending a minimum of $4,000,000 million on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon expenditure of $5,500,000 million on the claims, Trio shall receive a final 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. All shares issued shall be restricted common shares and will be stamped with the applicable hold period. The Company issued 144,240 shares of its common stock to Trio, representing 0.20% of the shares then outstanding valued at $242,323, based upon the trading price of the shares on date of issuance. The value of these shares has been charged to operations and included in exploration costs. The Company has paid a total of $1,200,000 to Trio Gold as of October 31, 2010.
On February 24, 2010, the Company and Trio Gold, Corp. agreed that the share issuances pursuant to the January 28, 2010 Exploration Agreement shall not exceed 360,600 shares.

The sole officer, director, and shareholder of Carlin is a business associate of the Company’s sole officer and director.
Cueva Blanca Gold Property
On April 16, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with St. Elias Mines Ltd. (“St. Elias”) in which Amarok is given an option to earn a 60% interest, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty, in the Cueva Blanca gold property (1,200 hectares) in Northern Peru, which is wholly owned by St. Elias
.
Under the terms of the letter agreement, it is possible for the Company to acquire a 60% interest in the Property
(subject to a 1.5% NSR) in consideration of:
(a) making cash payments of $200,000 to St. Elias over a two-year period;
(b) issuing 100,000 common shares in the capital of Amarok to St. Elias; and
(c) incurring at least $1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property over a three-year period.
In addition, the Company shall have the right to purchase one-half of the 1.5% NSR from St. Elias for the sum of $1,500,000, thereby reducing the NSR payable to from 1.5% to 0.75%.
The Company’s first payment of $10,000 was paid on June 24, 2010. As of October 31, 2010, the Company has paid $27,603 in fees towards property maintenance costs on the Cueva Blanca property. These payments are applied towards the $200,000 due to St. Elias.
Note 4 - Fair Value Accounting
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the provisions of ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10),
Fair Value Measurements
. ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
Amarok Resources, Inc.
(An Exploratory Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2010
Level 1
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
Level 2
|
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
Level 3
|
Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.)
|
The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2010:

Note 7 - Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC No. 740 (ASC 740),
Accounting for Income Taxes.
This statement mandates the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and permits the recognition of deferred tax assets subject to an ongoing assessment of realizability.
As of October 31, 2010, the Company had estimated federal net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $2,000,000 which can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through 2030. The utilization of the net operating losses to offset future net taxable income is subject to the limitations imposed by the change in control under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured. At October 31, 2010, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset totaled $680,000. This amount was reduced 100% by a valuation allowance, making the net deferred tax asset $0.
The components of the company’s income tax provision for the year ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to:

Item 9. Cha
ng
es In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting/Financial Disclosure
Reference: Current Report on Form 8-K, filed September 20, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 4 - Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.01 - Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Dismissal of Independent Accountant
Effective as of September 3, 2010, M&K CPAS, PLLC ("M&K") was dismissed as the independent registered accounting firm of Amarok Resources, Inc.
M&K's report on the registrant's financial statements for the past two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the effective date, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, with the exception of a modification indicating there was substantial doubt that Amarok Resources, Inc. would continue as a "Going Concern".
The dismissal of the independent registered public accountants was approved by the registrant's Board of Directors effective as of September 3, 2010.
During the registrant's most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the effective date, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
During the registrant's most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the effective date, M&K did not advise the registrant of any matters as identified in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K.
Appointment of New Independent Accountants
Effective as of September 3, 2010, the Board of Directors of Amarok Resources, Inc. approved the engagement of Robison, Hill & Co. ("RH") as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the registrant's financial statements. The registrant did not consult RH on any matters described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K during the registrant's two (2) most recent fiscal years of any subsequent interim period prior to engaging RH.
Item 9A.
Controls and
Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosures and Procedures
Our Principal Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and (d) of the Exchange Act. Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, financial disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (GAAP).
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
As part of our compliance efforts relative to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
We evaluated control deficiencies identified through our test of the design and operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting to determine whether the deficiencies, individually or in combination, are significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. In performing the assessment, our management has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existing as of October 31, 2010. Our evaluation of the significance of each deficiency included both quantitative and qualitative factors. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that as of October 31, 2010, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures was completed, our internal controls are not effective, for the reason discussed below:
|
1.
|
We do not yet have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and may be applicable to us in future years.
|
|
2.
|
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our extremely small size and the fact that we only had one management employee, whom is also an executive officer and director, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.
|
|
3.
|
We do not currently have full-time accounting personnel, which means we lack the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. In addition, this means we do not have available personnel to properly implement control procedures.
|
|
4.
|
We did not have a functioning audit committee or outside independent directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
|
|
5.
|
We had not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are no employees and only one officer and director with management functions and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties.
|
|
6.
|
There is a strong reliance on the external auditors and contract accountant to review and adjust the annual and quarterly financial statements, to monitor new accounting principles, and to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
|
|
7.
|
There is a strong reliance on the external attorneys to review and edit the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements.
|
In light of the material weaknesses described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
In addition, although our controls are not effective, these significant weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements in our financial statements. Our management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which is intended to mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) has, subsequent to the evaluation period, appointed outside directors and will establish an audit committee in the future.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the weaknesses identified above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Mr. Ruskowsky is currently President and CEO of Royal Quantum Group, Inc., a public company currently quoted on the OTCBB.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of the company’s common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of change in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by the company and on written representations from certain reporting persons, the company believes that all Section 16(a) reports applicable to its officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders with respect to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 were filed timely; with the exception that the Company believes that initial filings by the currently listed beneficial holders were not filed timely.
Code of Ethics
As a company with only one officer and director, we have not yet prepared and adopted a written code of ethics.
Board of Director Meetings and Committees
The Board of Directors consisted of a sole member during the year ended October 31, 2010, operated primarily by unanimous consent resolutions and held no formal meetings.
Amarok Resources, Inc. does not currently have a designated Audit, Nominating or Compensation Committee and currently relies on sole officer and director to perform those functions.

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. Our directors and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of our board of directors in the future. We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of our board of directors.
No options, warrants or other convertible securities have been issued to any officer, directors, or others at this time.
Item 13. Certain
Relationships and
Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Related Party Transactions
Commencing January 2010, the Company is paying a company affiliated with the Company’s sole officer and director for management fees of $8,000 a month on a month-to-month basis.
On February 22, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with Carlin Gold Resources, Inc, (“Carlin”) in which Carlin assigned the Company all of its rights, title, and interest in an exploration agreement between it and Trio Gold Corp (“Trio”). Trio is a company incorporated in the Province of Alberta Canada. Trio’s current President is Harry Ruskowsky, the father of the Company’s sole officer and director. Further, Roger Janssen is the sole officer, director and shareholder of Carlin and a business associate of the Company’s sole officer and director.
On March 11, 2010 the Company’s sole officer and director returned 80,000,000 shares of common stock for cancellation.
For the year ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized contributed office space from a related party totaling $1,000 and $1,500, respectively.
For the year ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized contributed services from a related party totaling $750 and $1,500, respectively.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors consists of a single member that is also our sole officers. We believe our sole board member is not “independent," as defined by SEC rules adopted pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Although our stock is not listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market at this time, we are required to determine the independence of our directors by reference to the rules of a national securities exchange or of a national securities association (such as the Nasdaq Stock Market). In accordance with these requirements, we have determined that Mr. Ruskowsky is not an "independent director," as determined in accordance with Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
Audit Committee
Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees. No such committees have been appointed to date as we currently have only one director. Accordingly, we do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert. We are presently not required to have an audit committee financial expert but intend to retain one in conjunction with the growth of our business. We have determined that for the purpose of and pursuant to the instructions of item 407(d) of regulation S-K titled Audit Committee Financial Expert, we do not currently have a member that possesses the attributes of an “audit committee financial expert”.
Similarly we do not have a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions. Presently, our entire board consisting of a sole director serves the functions of an audit committee and a nominating committee. We have not implemented procedures by which our security holders may recommend board nominees to us but expect to do so in the future. The Board is expected to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee. Until further determination by the Board of Directors, the full Board of Directors will undertake the duties of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.
