PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
AS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES, "WE," "US,"
"OUR," AND "GREEN STAR" REFERS TO GREEN STAR MINING CORP. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY
IS NOT COMPLETE AND DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE
IMPORTANT TO YOU. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS BEFORE MAKING AN
INVESTMENT DECISION TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK.
GREEN STAR MINING CORP.
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration
of mineral properties. Green Star Mining Corp. was incorporated in the State of
Delaware on January 22, 2008. We intend to use the net proceeds from this
offering to develop our business operations (See "Description of Business" and
"Use of Proceeds"). We are an exploration stage company with no revenues or
operating history. The principal executive offices are located at 1624 S.
Lincoln Street, Spokane, WA 99203. The phone number is (509) 590-8995.
We received our initial funding of $15,000 through the sale of common stock to
our director who purchased 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per share on
January 25, 2008. From inception until the date of this filing, we have had no
operating activities. Our financial statement from inception (January 22, 2008)
through the year ended February 29, 2008 report no revenues and a net loss of
$9,000. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for Green Star
Mining Corp. which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern.
We currently own a 100% undivided interest in a mineral property, the Golden
Princess Lode Mining Claim, located in the State of Nevada that we call the
"Golden Princess Property." The Golden Princess Property consists of an area of
approximately 20 acres located in the Sunset Mining District, Clark County,
Nevada. Title to the Golden Princess Property is held by Green Star Mining Corp.
Our plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Golden
Princess Property in order to assess whether it possess deposits of minerals
capable of commercial extraction.
We have not earned any revenues to date. We do not anticipate earning revenues
until such time as we enter into commercial production of our mineral
properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can
provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of
mineral resources on our property, or if such deposits are discovered, that we
will enter into further substantial exploration programs.
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public trading market for our
common stock and no assurance that a trading market for our securities will ever
develop.

Risk Factors: See "Risk Factors" and the other information in
this prospectus for a discussion of the factors you
should consider before deciding to invest in shares
of our common stock.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this
prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks
occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock, when and if we trade at
a later date, could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or
part of your investment.
RISKS ASSOCIATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY BUT HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED EXPLORATION
ACTIVITIES ON OUR CLAIMS. WE EXPECT TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We were incorporated on January 22, 2008 and to date have been involved
primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of the mineral
claims. We have not yet commenced exploration on the Golden Princess Lode Claim.
Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be
successful. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by
new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such
enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the
problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in
connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to
undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to,
unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and
expenses that may exceed current estimates. Prior to completion of our
exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses
without realizing any revenues. We expect to incur significant losses into the
foreseeable future. We recognize that if production of minerals from the claims
are not forthcoming, we will not be able to continue business operations. There
is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we
will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating
revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in
addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
WITHOUT THE FUNDING FROM THIS OFFERING WE WILL BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR
BUSINESS PLAN.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the intended
exploration program on our mineral claim. We will need the funds from this
offering to complete our business plan. As of February 29, 2008, we had cash in
the amount of $15,000 and liabilities of $9,000. We currently do not have any
operations and we have no income.
WE HAVE YET TO EARN REVENUE AND OUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS IS
DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FINANCING. AS A RESULT, OUR ACCOUNTANT
BELIEVES THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING
CONCERN.
We have accrued net losses of $9,000 for the period from our inception on
January 22, 2008 to February 29, 2008, and have no revenues to date. Our future
is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable
operations from the development of our mineral claims. These factors raise
substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. George
Stewart, our independent auditor, has expressed substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion could materially limit our
ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or
otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be
able to complete our business plan. As a result we may have to liquidate our
business and you may lose your investment. You should consider our auditor's
comments when determining if an investment in Green Star Mining Corp. is
suitable.
4
BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE DIFFICULTIES AND UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN MINERAL
EXPLORATION VENTURES, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
You should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral
exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The
likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the
exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential
problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to
exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current
estimates. The Golden Princess Property does not contain a known body of any
commercial minerals and, therefore, any program conducted on the Golden Princess
Property would be an exploratory search of any minerals There is no certainty
that any expenditures made in the exploration of the Golden Princess Property
will result in discoveries of any commercial quantities of minerals. Most
exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable
mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other
conditions are common to mineral exploration activities and often result in
unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration program do
not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim
and acquire new claims for new exploration. Our ability to acquire additional
claims will be dependent upon our possessing adequate capital resources when
needed. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations.
WE HAVE NO KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND IF WE CANNOT FIND ANY, WE MAY HAVE TO
CEASE OPERATIONS.
We have no mineral reserves. If we do not find any commercially exploitable
mineral reserves or if we cannot complete the exploration of any mineral
reserves, either because we do not have the money to do so or because it is not
economically feasible to do so, we may have to cease operations and you may lose
your investment. Mineral exploration is highly speculative. It involves many
risks and is often non-productive. Even if we are able to find mineral reserves
on our property our production capability will be subject to further risks
including:
- The costs of bringing the property into production including
exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and
construction of production facilities, all of which we have not
budgeted for;
- The availability and costs of financing;
- The ongoing costs of production; and
- Risks related to environmental compliance regulations and restraints.
The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by
numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately
predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling facilities and
processing equipment near the Golden Princess Property, and other factors such
as government regulations, including regulations relating to allowable
production, the importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental
protection.
Given the above noted risks, the chances of our finding and commercially
exploiting reserves on our mineral properties are remote and funds expended on
exploration will likely be lost.
BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A RISK
THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may
become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and
other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not
to insure. At the present time we have no insurance to cover against these
hazards. The payment of such liabilities may result in our inability to complete
our planned exploration program and/or obtain additional financing to fund our
exploration program.
AS WE UNDERTAKE EXPLORATION OF OUR MINERAL CLAIMS, WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION THAT MAY INCREASE THE ANTICIPATED COST OF
OUR EXPLORATION PROGRAM.
5
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral
exploration. We will be subject to the laws of the State of Nevada as we carry
out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post
bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in
order to comply with these laws. If we enter the production phase, the cost of
complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because
the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control
all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage.
Examples of regulatory requirements include:
(a) Water discharge will have to meet drinking water standards;
(b) Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;
(c) Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and
re-vegetated with natural vegetation;
(d) An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to
be environmentally benign;
(e) Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;
(f) The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and
if deemed negative, will have to be remediated; and
(g) There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna
and flora including a study of potentially endangered species.
There is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business
and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. We will also have to
sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all
exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation
refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as
possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed
along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the
process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of
exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical
activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage
caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know
the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion
of the recommended work program. If remediation costs exceed our cash reserves
we may be unable to complete our exploration program and have to abandon our
operations.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND/OR DIRECTOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY FORMAL TRAINING
SPECIFIC TO THE TECHNICALITIES OF MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A HIGHER RISK
OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Our sole officer and director is Nan E. Weaver. Ms. Weaver has no formal
training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral
exploration company. Her prior business experiences have primarily been computer
component sales and not in the mineral exploration business. With no direct
training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of
the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Our
management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard
engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use.
Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could
suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry.
THERE IS A RISK THAT OUR PROPERTY DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY KNOWN BODIES OF ORE
RESULTING IN ANY FUNDS SPENT ON EXPLORATION BEING LOST.
There is the likelihood of our mineral claim containing little or no economic
mineralization or reserves. We have a geological report detailing previous
exploration in the area, and the claim has been staked per Nevada regulations.
However, there is the possibility that previous work conducted was not carried
out properly and our claim does not contain any reserves, resulting in any funds
spent on exploration being lost.
6
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT SURVEYED THE GOLDEN PRINCESS LODE CLAIM, WE MAY DISCOVER
MINERALIZATION ON THE CLAIMS THAT IS NOT WITHIN OUR CLAIM BOUNDARIES.
While we have conducted a mineral claim title search, this should not be
construed as a guarantee of claim boundaries. Until the claim is surveyed, the
precise location of the boundaries of the claim may be in doubt. If we discover
mineralization that is close to the claim boundaries, it is possible that some
or all of the mineralization may occur outside the boundaries. In such a case we
would not have the right to extract those minerals.
IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF PRECIOUS METALS ON OUR MINERAL PROPERTY,
WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ADVANCE THE
MINERAL CLAIMS INTO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
If our exploration program is successful in establishing ore of commercial
tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to advance the
claim into commercial production. Obtaining additional financing would be
subject to a number of factors, including the market price for the minerals,
investor acceptance of our claims and general market conditions. These factors
may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing
unavailable to us. The most likely source of future funds is through the sale of
equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing
shareholders. We may be unable to obtain any such funds, or to obtain such funds
on terms that we consider economically feasible and you may lose any investment
you make in this offering.
IF ACCESS TO OUR MINERAL CLAIMS IS RESTRICTED BY INCLEMENT WEATHER, WE MAY BE
DELAYED IN OUR EXPLORATION AND ANY FUTURE MINING EFFORTS.
It is possible that snow or rain could cause the mining roads providing access
to our claims to become impassable. If the roads are impassable we would be
delayed in our exploration timetable.
BASED ON CONSUMER DEMAND, THE GROWTH AND DEMAND FOR ANY ORE WE MAY RECOVER FROM
OUR CLAIMS MAY BE SLOWED, RESULTING IN REDUCED REVENUES TO THE COMPANY.
Our success will be dependent on the growth of demand for ores. If consumer
demand slows our revenues may be significantly affected. This could limit our
ability to generate revenues and our financial condition and operating results
may be harmed.
BECAUSE OUR CURRENT OFFICER AND/OR DIRECTOR HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, SHE
MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS
OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Ms. Nan E. Weaver, our officer and director, currently devotes approximately 5
hours per week providing management services to us. While she presently
possesses adequate time to attend to our interest, it is possible that the
demands on her from other obligations could increase, with the result that she
would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our
business. This could negatively impact our business development.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING
THE TRADING IN OUR SHARES WILL BE REGULATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A "PENNY STOCK."
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such
penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure
requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than
certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in
excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or
annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000 jointly with spouse), or in
transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by
the penny stock rules, a broker dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in
penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual
bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer
and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the
7
Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for you to
resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
WE ARE SELLING THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL
ANY SHARES.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the
services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares
through our officer and/or director, who will receive no commissions. She will
offer the shares to friends, family members, and business associates, however,
there is no guarantee that she will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless
she is successful in selling all of the shares and we receive the proceeds from
this offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our
business plan.
DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY
SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.
We are not registered on any public stock exchange. There is presently no demand
for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being offered in
this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the
completion of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the
Over-The-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The OTCBB is a regulated
quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume
information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer
listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any
listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers
must remain current in their filing with the SEC or applicable regulatory
authority. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security
whose issuer does not meet his filing requirement. Securities already quoted on
the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed
following a 30 to 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing
during that time. We cannot guarantee that our application will be accepted or
approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. As of the date of this
filing, there have been no discussions or understandings between Green Star
Mining Corp. and anyone acting on our behalf, with any market maker regarding
participation in a future trading market for our securities. If no market is
ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any
shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you are
unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares
without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our
common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have
a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell
your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your
investment.
YOU WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR
SHARES.
Our existing stockholder acquired her shares at a cost of $.01 per share, a cost
per share substantially less than that which you will pay for the shares you
purchase in this offering. Upon completion of this offering the net tangible
book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder (1,500,000 shares)
will be increased by $.016 per share without any additional investment on her
part. The purchasers of shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution (a
reduction in the net tangible book value per share from the offering price of
$.025 (per share) to $0.09 per share. As a result, after completion of the
offering, the net tangible book value of the shares held by purchasers in this
offering would be $.016 per share, reflecting an immediate reduction in the
$.025 per share they paid for their shares.
WE WILL BE HOLDING ALL THE PROCEEDS FROM THE OFFERING IN A STANDARD BANK
CHECKING ACCOUNT UNTIL ALL SHARES ARE SOLD. BECAUSE THE SHARES ARE NOT HELD IN
AN ESCROW OR TRUST ACCOUNT THERE IS A RISK YOUR MONEY WILL NOT BE RETURNED IF
ALL THE SHARES ARE NOT SOLD.
All funds received from the sale of shares in this offering will be deposited
into a standard bank checking account until all shares are sold and the offering
is closed, at which time, the proceeds will be transferred to our business
operating account. In the event all shares are not sold we have committed to
promptly return all funds to the original purchasers. However since the funds
will not be placed into an escrow, trust or other similar account, there can be
no guarantee that any third party creditor who may obtain a judgment or lien
8
against us would not satisfy the judgment or lien by executing on the bank
account where the offering proceeds are being held, resulting in a loss of any
investment you make in our securities.
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE.
WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT
FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.
Our business plan allows for the payment of the estimated $4,500 cost of this
registration statement to be paid from existing cash on hand. If necessary, Ms.
Weaver, our director, has verbally agreed to loan the company funds to complete
the registration process. We plan to contact a market maker immediately
following the close of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the
OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation, issuers must remain
current in their filings with the SEC. In order for us to remain in compliance
we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could
comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable
to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for
you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
MS. WEAVER, A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY, BENEFICIALLY OWNS 100% OF THE OUTSTANDING
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK. AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THIS OFFERING SHE WILL OWN
60% OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES. IF SHE CHOOSES TO SELL HER SHARES IN THE FUTURE,
IT MIGHT HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
Due to the amount of Ms. Weaver's share ownership in our company, if she chooses
to sell her shares in the public market, the market price of our stock could
decrease and all shareholders suffer a dilution of the value of their stock. If
she does sell any of her common stock, she will be subject to Rule 144 under the
1933 Securities Act which will restrict her ability to sell her shares.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect",
"future", "intend", and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking
statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements
contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the
date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the
risks faced by us as described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in
this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming sale of all of the shares offered herein, of which there is no
assurance, the net proceeds from this offering will be $25,000. The proceeds are
expected to be disbursed, in the priority set forth below, during the first
twelve (12) months after the successful completion of the offering:
Planned Expenditures Over
Category The Next 12 Months
-------- ------------------
Phase 1 Exploration Program $ 6,500
Phase 2 Exploration Program $11,000
Legal and Accounting $ 4,500
Administrative Expenses $ 3,000
TOTAL PROCEEDS TO COMPANY $25,000
We will establish a separate bank account and all proceeds will be deposited
into that account until the total amount of the offering is received and all
shares are sold, at which time the funds will be released to us for use in our
operations. In the event we do not sell all of the shares before the expiration
date of the offering, all funds will be returned promptly to the subscribers,
without interest or deduction. If necessary, Ms. Weaver, our director, has
verbally agreed to loan the company funds to complete the registration process
but we will require full funding to implement our complete business plan.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the share has been determined arbitrarily by us. The price
does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other
established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the
number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into
consideration our cash on hand and the amount of money we would need to
implement our business plans. Accordingly, the offering price should not be
considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.
DILUTION
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net
tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net
tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total
liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a
result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being
offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of
the lower book value of the shares held by our existing shareholders.
As of February 29, 2008, the net tangible book value of our shares was $6,000 or
$.004 per share, based upon 1,500,000 shares outstanding.
Upon completion of this offering, but without taking into account any change in
the net tangible book value after completion of this offering other than that
resulting from the sale of the shares and receipt of the total proceeds of
$25,000, the net tangible book value of the 2,500,000 shares to be outstanding
will be $31,000, or approximately $.012 per share. Accordingly, the net tangible
book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder (1,500,000 shares)
will be increased by $.016 per share without any additional investment on her
part. The purchasers of shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution (a
reduction in the net tangible book value per share from the offering price of
$.025 (per share) or $.009 per share. As a result, after completion of the
offering, the net tangible book value of the shares held by purchasers in this
offering would be $.016 per share, reflecting an immediate reduction in the
$.025 price per share they paid for their shares. After completion of the
offering, the existing shareholder will own 60.0% of the total number of shares
then outstanding, for which she will have made an investment of $15,000 or $.01
per share. Upon completion of the offering, the purchasers of these shares
offered hereby will own 40.0% of the total number of shares then outstanding,
for which they will have made a cash investment of $25,000, or $.025 per share.
The following table illustrates the per share dilution to the new investors:
Public Offering Price Per Share $.025
Net Tangible Book Value Prior to this Offering $.004
Net Tangible Book Value After Offering $.016
Immediate Dilution per Share to New Investors $.009
The following table summarizes the number and percentages of shares purchased,
the amount and percentage of consideration paid and the average price per share
paid by our existing stockholder and by new investors in this offering:

PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSCRIPTION
If you decide to subscribe to any shares in this offering, you will be required
to execute a Subscription Agreement and tender it, together with a check or bank
money order made payable to Green Star Mining Corp. Subscriptions, once received
by the company, are irrevocable.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
There is currently no public market for our common stock. There has been no
public trading of our securities, and, therefore, no high and low bid pricing.
As of the date of this prospectus, Green Star Mining Corp. has one shareholder
of record. We have paid no cash dividends and have no outstanding options. We
have no securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection
with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that
current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such
securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock
rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to
deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a)
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; b) contains a description
of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and
remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or
other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative
description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks
and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a
toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines
significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in
penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form,
including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or
regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any
transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and
ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a suitably written statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these
penny stock rules. Therefore, if our common stock becomes subject to the penny
stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
REGULATION M
Our officer and/or director, who will sell the shares, is aware that she is
required to comply with the provisions of Regulation M, promulgated under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions,
Regulation M precludes the officer and/or director, sales agent, any
broker-dealer or other person who participate in the distribution of shares in
this offering from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person
to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution
until the entire distribution is complete.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our cash balance is $15,000 as of February 29, 2008. We believe our cash balance
is sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations until June, 2008. If we
experience a shortage of funds prior to funding we may utilize funds from our
director, who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for
offering costs, filing fees, and professional fees, however she has no formal
commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the
company. In order to achieve our business plan goals, we will need the funding
from this offering. We are an exploration stage company and have generated no
revenue to date. We have sold $15,000 in equity securities to pay for our
minimum level of operations.
Our auditor has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is
substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next
twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is
because we have not generated revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we
begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach
that stage.
Our plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Golden
Princess Property in order to assess whether the property contains mineral
reserves capable of commercial extraction. Our exploration program is designed
to explore for commercially viable deposits of silver, gold and other minerals.
We have not, nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable
reserves of these minerals on the Golden Princess Property.
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this
prospectus is to complete the first phase of the exploration program on our
claim consisting of geological mapping, soil sampling and rock sampling. In
addition to the $17,500 we anticipate spending for Phase 1 and 2 for the
exploration program as outlined below, we anticipate spending an additional
$7,500 on professional and administrative fees, including fees payable in
connection with the filing of this registration statement and complying with
reporting obligations. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore
expected to be approximately $25,000, which is the amount to be raised in this
offering and our cash on hand. If we experience a shortage of funds prior to
funding during the next 12 months, we may utilize funds from our director, who
has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for professional fees,
including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration
statement and operation expenses, however she has no formal commitment,
arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. We will
require the funds from this offering to proceed.
We engaged Mr. Laurence Sookochoff, P. Eng., to prepare a geological evaluation
report on the Golden Princess Property. Mr. Sookochoff's report summarizes the
results of the history of the exploration of the mineral claims, the regional
and local geology of the mineral claims and the mineralization and the
geological formations identified as a result of the prior exploration in the
claim areas. The geological report also gives conclusions regarding potential
mineralization of the mineral claims and recommends a further geological
exploration program on the mineral claims. The exploration program recommended
by Mr. Sookochoff is as follows:
Phase Exploration Program Cost Status
----- ------------------- ---- ------
Phase I VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys $ 6,500 Expected to be completed in summer, 2008
(dependent on consulting geologist's
schedule).
Phase II Localized soil surveys, trenching $11,000 Expected to be completed in fall, 2008
and sampling over known and indicated (depending on the results of Phase 1, and
mineralized zones consulting geologist's schedule).
13
Phase III Test Diamond drilling outlined by Phase 1 $65,000 Expected to be completed in spring, 2009
and 2 programs. (depending on the results of Phase 2, and
consulting geologist's schedule.)
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST $82,500
If we are successful in raising the funds from this offering, we plan to
commence Phase I of the exploration program on the claim in summer, 2008. We
expect this phase to take 14 days to complete and an additional two months for
the consulting geologist to receive the results of the assay lab and prepare his
report.
The above program costs are management's estimates based upon the
recommendations of the professional consulting geologist's report and the actual
project costs may exceed our estimates. To date, we have not commenced
exploration.
Following Phase I of the exploration program, if it proves successful in
identifying mineral deposits, we intend to proceed with Phase II of our
exploration program. The estimated cost of this program is $11,000 and will take
approximately 10 days to complete and an additional two months for the
consulting geologist to receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his
report.
Following Phase II of the exploration program, if it proves successful in
identifying mineral deposits, we intend to proceed with Phase III of our
exploration program if we are able to raise the funds necessary. The estimated
cost of this program is $65,000 and will take approximately 2 weeks to complete
and an additional two months for the consulting geologist to receive the results
from the assay lab and prepare his report.
We anticipate commencing Phase II of our exploration program in fall, 2008,
depending on whether Phase 1 program proves successful in identifying mineral
deposits. Subject to financing, we anticipate commencing Phase III of our
exploration program in 2009, depending on whether Phase II program proves
successful in identifying mineral deposits. We have a verbal agreement with
Laurence Sookochoff, P. Eng., the consulting geologist who prepared the geology
report on our claim, to retain his services for our planned exploration program.
We will require additional funding to proceed with Phase III and any subsequent
work on the claim, we have no current plans on how to raise the additional
funding. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to
raise sufficient funds to proceed with any work after the first two phases of
the exploration program.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
There is no historical financial information about us on which to base an
evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage company and have not
generated revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in
our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the
establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources,
possible delays in the exploration of our property, and possible cost overruns
due to increases in the cost of services.
To become profitable and competitive, we must conduct the exploration of our
properties before we start into production of any minerals we may find. We are
seeking funding from this offering to provide the capital required for the first
two phases of our exploration program. We believe that the funds from this
offering will allow us to operate for one year.
We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing
is not available to use for the third phase of our exploration program we may be
unable to continue.
14
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell all the shares required. If we
are successful, any money raised will be applied to the items set forth in the
Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. If the first two phases of our
exploration program are successful in identifying mineral deposits we will
attempt to raise the necessary funds to proceed with phase three, and any
subsequent drilling and extraction. The sources of funding we may consider to
fund this work include a public offering, a private placement of our securities
or loans from our director or others.
Our director has agreed to advance funds as needed until the offering is
completed or failed and has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation of the
property should exploitable minerals not be found and we abandon the third phase
of our exploration program and there are no remaining funds in the company.
While she has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is verbal and is
unenforceable as a matter of law.
The one property in the Company's portfolio, on which the net proceeds of the
offering will be spent, is the Golden Princess Lode Claim consisting of one
located mineral claim comprising a total of approximately 20 acres. We have not
carried out any exploration work on the claims and have incurred no exploration
costs.
We received our initial funding of $15,000 through the sale of common stock to
Ms. Weaver, our director, who purchased 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at
$0.01 per share on January 25, 2008. From inception until the date of this
filing we have had no operating activities. Our financial statements from
inception (January 22, 2008) through the year ended February 29, 2008 report no
revenues and a net loss of $9,000.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company reports revenues and expenses using the accrual method of accounting
for financial and tax reporting purposes.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management uses estimates and assumption in preparing these financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and
expenses.
MINERAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND EXPLORATION COSTS
The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition and exploration of
mineral properties 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 any exploration prospects; therefore,
all costs are being expensed.
DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND CAPITALIZATION
The Company records depreciation and amortization when appropriate using both
straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful life of
the assets (five to seven years). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that
increase the property's useful life are capitalized. Property sold or retired,
together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the
appropriated accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income.
15
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under
Statement 109, a liability method is used whereby deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between basis used of
financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. Income taxes are provided
based on tax rates in effect at the time such temporary differences are expected
to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if
it is more likely than not, that the Company will not realize the tax assets
through future operations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards statements No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value
of Financial Instruments", requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably
attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are
deemed to be financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments consist
primarily of cash and certain investments.
PER SHARE INFORMATION
The Company computes per share information by dividing the net loss for the
period presented by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
such period.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS
Green Star Mining Corp. was incorporated on January 22, 2008 under the laws of
the State of Delaware. We are engaged in the business of acquisition,
exploration and development of natural resource properties.
NanE. Weaver serves as officer and director of our company from inception
(January 22, 2008) to current date. No other person other than Ms. Weaver has
acted as a promoter of Green Star Mining Corp. since our inception. Other than
Ms. Weaver's purchase of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock on January 25,
2008, Ms. Weaver has not entered into any agreement with us in which she is to
receive from us or provide to us anything of value. Ms. Weaver purchased the
1,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $.01 per share for a total of
$15,000.
IN GENERAL
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration
of mineral properties. We currently own a 100% undivided interest in the Golden
Princess Mineral Claim located in Clark County, State of Nevada that we call the
"Golden Princess Property." We are currently conducting mineral exploration
activities on the Golden Princess Property in order to assess whether it
contains any commercially exploitable mineral reserves. Currently there are no
known mineral reserves on the Golden Princess Property.
We have not earned any revenues to date. Our independent auditor has issued an
audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern. The source of information contained in
this discussion is our geology report prepared by Laurence Sookochoff, P. Eng.
dated February 13, 2008.
There is the likelihood of our mineral claim containing little or no economic
mineralization or reserves of silver and other minerals. We are presently in the
exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that any
commercially viable mineral deposits exist on our mineral claims, that we will
discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our property,
or, if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial
exploration programs. Further exploration is required before a final
determination can be made as to whether our mineral claims possess commercially
exploitable mineral deposits. If our claim does not contain any reserves all
funds that we spend on exploration will be lost.
16
ACQUISITION OF THE GOLDEN PRINCESS PROPERTY
In February, 2008, we purchased a 100% undivided interest in a mineral claim
known as the Golden Princess Lode Claim for a price of $6,000. The claims are in
good standing until September 1, 2008.
We engaged Laurence Sookochoff, P. Eng., to prepare a geological evaluation
report on the Golden Princess Property. Mr. Sookochoff is a consulting
professional geologist in the Geological Section of the Association of
Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. Mr. Sookochoff
attended the University of British Columbia and holds a Bachelor of Science
degree in geology.
The work completed by Mr. Sookochoff in preparing the geological report
consisted of a review of geological data from previous exploration within the
region. The acquisition of this data involved the research and investigation of
historical files to locate and retrieve data information acquired by previous
exploration companies in the area of the mineral claims.
We received the geological evaluation report on the Golden Princess Property
entitled "Geological Evaluation Report on the Golden Princess Lode Mining Claim,
Sunset Mining District, Clark County, Nevada, USA" prepared by Mr. Sookochoff on
February 13, 2008. The geological report summarizes the results of the history
of the exploration of the mineral claims, the regional and local geology of the
mineral claims and the mineralization and the geological formations identified
as a result of the prior exploration. The geological report also gives
conclusions regarding potential mineralization of the mineral claims and
recommends a further geological exploration program on the mineral claims. The
description of the Golden Princess Property provided below is based on Ms.
Sookochoff's report.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The property owned by Green Star Mining Corp., on which the net proceeds of the
offering will be spent, is the Golden Princess Claim which is comprised of one
located mineral claim. The Golden Princess Lode Claim is located within Township
28S, Range 60E, Section 6 in the Sunset Mining District of Clark County Nevada.
Access from Las Vegas, Nevada to the Golden Princess Lode Claim is southeastward
to Boulder City, thence southward via Highway 95 to Search light, thence
westward via Highway 164 to Crescent from where a sub-standard road is taken
northward to the Golden Princess Lode Claim. The entire distance from Las Vegas
to the Golden Princess Lode Claim is approximately 84 miles.
The claim was recorded with the Recorder's Office in Clark County, NV and the
Bureau of Land Management.
[MAP SHOWING THE CLAIM LOCATION]
PHYSIOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, VEGETATION AND WATER
The Golden Princess Lode Claim is situated midway through the approximate 14
mile Lucy Grey Mountain Range, a north-south trending range of mountains with
crests reaching elevations up to 2,500 feet. The Claim covers a central
northerly trending ridge which extends into a bisected east-west trending valley
proximally at the north end of the Claim. Topography on the Claim is moderate
with an elevation of 960 feet within the valley in the north to an elevation of
1,100 feet along the central ridge in the south.
The claim area is of a typically desert climate with relatively high
temperatures and low precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of desert shrubs
and cactus. Sources of water would be available from valley wells.
19
PROPERTY HISTORY
The Sunset Mining District was established in 1867 within an area comprised of a
group of hills (Lucy Grey Range) of relatively low relief about 16 miles south
of Jean, Nevada in the extreme southern part of T27S, R60E. The Sunset Mining
District is south of the Goodsprings Mining District which ranks second only to
Tonopah in total Nevada lead and zinc production. In the Sunset Mining District
the Lucy Grey mine, the District's chief and only producing property, did not
begin operation until 1905. Total production from the Lucy Grey mine is
estimated at $50,000, principally in gold with lesser amounts of silver, lead
and copper.
There is no recorded production from the ground covered by the Golden Princess
Lode Claim; however, inclusive prospect pits indicate the exploration of
mineralized zones.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
Geologically, the Sunset district is the southern extension of the Yellow Pine
District where the Mountain Ranges consist mainly of Paleozoic sediments which
have undergone intense folding accompanied by faulting. A series of
Carboniferous sediments consist largely of siliceous limestones and include
strata of pure crystalline limestone and dolomite with occasional intercalated
beds of fine grained sandstone. These strata have a general west to southwest
dip of from 15 to 45 degrees which is occasionally disturbed by local folds.
Igneous rocks are scarce and are represented chiefly by quartz-monzonite
porphyry dikes and sills. The quartz-monzonite porphyry is intruded into these
strata and is of post-Jurassic age, perhaps Ter
STRATIGRAPHY
Sedimentary rocks in the Sunset Mining District range in age from Upper Cambrian
to Recent. The Paleozoic section includes the Cambrian Golden Princess King and
Nopah Formations, the Devonian Sultan, Mississippian Monte Cristo Limestone,
Pennsylvanian/Mississippian Bird Spring Formation and Permian Kaibab Limestone.

Precambrian:
Schist, gneiss, and coarse-grained igneous rocks
The Mesozoic section is comprised only of the Triassic Moenkopi and Chinle
Formations and an upper Mesozoic unit of uncertain age termed the Lavinia Wash
Formation. The Paleozoic rocks are dominantly carbonates while the Mesozoic
units are continental clastics. Tertiary rocks include gravels and minor
volcanic tuffs.
Only tow varieties of intrusive rocks are known in the district. The most
abundant is granite porphyry which forms three large sill-like masses. The sills
generally lie near major thrust faults and are thought to have been emplaced
along breccia zones at the base of the upper plate of the thrust fault. Locally,
small dikes of basaltic composition and uncertain age have been encountered in
some of the mine workings.
20
STRUCTURE
The region reveals a record of folding, thrust faulting and normal faulting.
Folding began in the early Jurassic, resulting in broad flexures in the more
massive units and tight folds in the thinly bedded rocks. The thrust faults in
the district are part of a belt of thrust faulted rocks, the Foreland Fold and
Thrust Belt that stretches from southern Canada to southern California.
Deformation within the belt began in the Jurassic and continued until Cretaceous
time. Within the Sunset District thrust faulting appears to post-date much of
the folding, but despite intensive study the actual age of thrusting continues
to be the subject of contentious debate. Three major thrusts have been mapped;
from west to east, the Green Monster, Keystone and Contact thrusts.
Of these, the Keystone is the most persistent along strike having been mapped
for a distance of over 50 kilometers. The stratigraphic relationships along the
Keystone fault are similar to those for all the major thrusts in the area,
Cambrian Bonanza King Formation has been thrust eastward over younger Paleozoic
rocks.

REGIONAL MINERALIZATION
In the Goodsprings District proximally north of the Sunset Mining District, the
ore deposits can at best be characterized as enigmatic. They appear to fall into
two distinct types, which may or may not related, gold-copper deposits and
lead-zinc deposits. Gold-copper deposits are clearly related to sill-like masses
of granite porphyry. All existing mines worked the contact between the intrusive
and surrounding sedimentary rocks. Gold occurred in both the intrusive and the
carbonate wall rocks. It appears any carbonate unit was a suitable host.
The lead-zinc deposits are often distant from intrusives and occur as veins or
replacements of brecciated rocks along fault zones, either thrust faults or
normal faults. Unlike the gold deposits, the productive lead-zinc deposits are
restricted to the Monte Cristo Formation.
Mineralogy of gold-copper deposits consists of native gold, pyrite, limonite,
cinnabar, malachite, azurite and chrysocolla. Lead-zinc deposits are comprised
of hydrozincite, calamine, smithsonite, cerrusite, anglesite, galena and iron
oxides. The rather unusual mineralogy of the district is due to the great depth
of surface oxidation, exceeding 600 feet.
ORE MINERALOGY AND ALTERATION
Typical sulfides such as chalcopyrite, sphalerite and pyrite have been partially
or completely altered to more stable hydrated carbonates and sulfates. Only the
highly insoluble lead sulfide, galena has successfully resisted surface
oxidation.
Primary alteration is difficult to characterize due to the super-gene overprint,
but again appears to differ for gold-copper deposits and lead-zinc deposits.
Gold-copper ores have been extensively sericitized and kaolinized, altering the
host pluton to a rock that can be mined through simple excavation with little or
not blasting. The rock is so thoroughly altered it decrepitates on exposure to
the atmosphere. On the other hand, lead-zinc deposits appear to be characterized
by dolomitization and minor silicification.
LOCAL MINERALIZATION
Mineralization at the Lucy Grey mine is reported as gold, silver, lead, and zinc
within a breccia pipe in Precambrian gneiss. The minerals are concentrated in
secondary fractures which cut the quartz veins.
PROPERTY MINERALIZATION
The mineralization on the Golden Princess Lode Claim is not known, however, the
indicated exploratory workings within the Claim may have explored mineralization
gold, silver, lead and copper hosted by fractures within a breccia pipe of the
Precambrian gneiss as at the nearby Lucy Grey mine.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Golden Princess Lode Claim covers exploratory workings on indicated mineral
zones hosting potentially economic mineralization. These mineral zones may be
comparable to the mineral zone at the nearby Lucy Grey mine where historic
production is reported. As the mineralization, the nature of neither the
mineralization nor the controlling structures to the mineralization have been
defined, the indicated mineralized zones of the Golden Princess Lode Claim
should be explored for potentially economical mineral zones.
It is recommended that Green Star Mining Corp. complete a three phased
exploration program on the Golden Princess Lode Claim. Phase I would consists of
VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys along the expansions of the known mineral zones
22
to determine the potential structural controls to the known mineral zones. Phase
II would consist of localized soil surveys, trenching, and sampling over the
indicated extensions of the mineral zones. Phase III would consist of test
diamond drilling of the prime indicated mineral zones.
RECOMMENDED EXPLORATION PROGRAM AND ESTIMATED COST
Phase Exploration Program Cost Status
----- ------------------- ---- ------
Phase I VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys $ 6,500 Expected to be completed in summer, 2008
(dependent on consulting geologist's
schedule).
Phase II Localized soil surveys, trenching $11,000 Expected to be completed in fall, 2008
and sampling over known and indicated (depending on the results of Phase 1, and
mineralized zones consulting geologist's schedule).
Phase III Test Diamond drilling outlined by Phase 1 $65,000 Expected to be completed in spring, 2009
and 2 programs. (depending on the results of Phase 2, and
consulting geologist's schedule.)
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST $82,500
COMPETITION
We are an explorations stage company. We do not compete directly with anyone for
the exploration or removal of minerals from our property as we hold all interest
and rights to the claim. Readily available commodities markets exist in the U.S.
and around the world for the sale of gold, silver and other minerals. Therefore,
we will likely be able to sell any gold, silver or other minerals that we are
able to recover.
We will be subject to competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in
the industry in the event spot shortages arise for supplies such as dynamite,
and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we will need to
conduct exploration. We have not yet attempted to locate or negotiate with any
suppliers or products, equipment or services and will not do so until funds are
received from this offering. If we are unsuccessful in securing the products,
equipment and services we need we may have to suspend our exploration plans
until we are able to do so.
We compete with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for
financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral
resource exploration and development companies with whom we compete have greater
financial and technical resources than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be
able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on
exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral
properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise
in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could
result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest
to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development.
This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further
exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral
properties.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.
BANKRUPTCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS
There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
23
REORGANIZATIONS, PURCHASE OR SALE OF ASSETS
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or
purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of
business.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of
governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals
in the United States generally, and in the state of Nevada specifically. We will
also be subject to the regulations of the Bureau of Land Management, Department
of the Interior.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
NEED FOR GOVERNMENT APPROVAL FOR ITS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
We are not required to apply for or have any government approval for our product
or services.
FACILITIES
We currently do not own any physical property or own any real property. We
purchased the Golden Princess Property at a cost of $6,000. Title to the Golden
Princess Property mineral claims is held by Green Star Mining Corp.
We currently utilize space provided to us on a rent free basis from our officer
and director, Nan E. Weaver at 1624 South Lincoln Street, Spokane, WA 99203.
Management believes the current premises are sufficient for its needs at this
time.
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
We have no employees other than our officer and director as of the date of this
prospectus. Ms. Weaver currently devotes approximately 5 hours per week to
company matters and after receiving funding, she plans to devote as much time as
the Board of Directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of the
company. There are no formal employment agreements between the company and our
current employees. We conduct our business largely through consultants.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, and we are not aware of
any pending or potential legal actions.

to rely on the technical services of others to advise us on the managerial
aspects specifically associated with a mineral exploration company. We do not
have any employees who have professional training or experience in the mining
industry. We rely on independent geological consultants to make recommendations
to us on work programs on our property, to hire appropriately skilled persons on
a contract basis to complete work programs and to supervise, review, and report
on such programs to us.
TERM OF OFFICE
Our director is appointed to hold office until the next annual meeting of our
stockholders or until her successor is elected and qualified, or until she
resigns or is removed in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Revised
Statutes. Our officer is appointed by our Board of Directors and holds office
until removed by the Board.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES
We have no significant employees other than our officer and/or director, Ms. Nan
E. Weaver. Ms. Weaver currently devotes approximately 5 hours per week to
company matters. After receiving funding per our business plan Ms. Weaver
intends to devote as much time as the Board of Directors deem necessary to mange
the affairs of the company.
Ms. Weaver has not been the subject of any order, judgment, or decree of any
court of competent jurisdiction, or any regulatory agency permanently or
temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limited her from acting
as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in the securities

company, bank, savings and loan association, or insurance company or from
engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with any such
activity or in connection with the purchase or sale of any securities.
Ms. Weaver has not been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations) nor is she subject of any currently pending criminal proceeding.
We conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length
third parties. Currently, we have no formal consulting agreements in place. We
have a verbal arrangement with the consulting geologist currently conducting the
exploratory work on the Golden Princess Property. We pay the consulting
geologist the usual and customary rates received by geologists performing
similar consulting services.
RESUME
NAN E. WEAVER serves as President, Secretary and Treasurer of Green Star Mining
Corp. since January 22, 2008 (inception). From 1998 to 2006, Ms. Weaver was sole
proprietor of her own company Life Adventure Group, a computer parts
retail/wholesale sales company in La Jolla, CA. Ms. Weaver received a J.D. in
Law from Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego, CA in 1992 and a B.S.

There are no current employment agreements between the company and its
officer/director.
On January 25, 2008, a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock were issued to
Ms. Nan E. Weaver in exchange for cash in the amount of $15,000 or $0.01 per
share. The terms of this stock issuance was as fair to the company, in the
opinion of the board of director, as if it could have been made with an
unaffiliated third party.
Ms. Weaver currently devotes approximately 5 hours per week to manage the
affairs of the company. She has agreed to work with no remuneration until such
time as the company receives sufficient revenues necessary to provide management
salaries. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate when sufficient revenues
will occur to implement this compensation, or what the amount of the
compensation will be.
There are no annuity, pension or retirement benefits proposed to be paid to the
officer or director or employees in the event of retirement at normal retirement
date pursuant to any presently existing plan provided or contributed to by the
company or any of its subsidiaries, if any.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Ms. Weaver will not be paid for any underwriting services that she performs on
our behalf with respect to this offering. She will also not receive any interest
on any funds that she may advance to us for expenses incurred prior to the
offering being closed. Any funds loaned will be repaid from the proceeds of the
offering.
On January 25, 2008, a total of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock was issued to
Ms. Weaver in exchange for $15,000, or $0.01 per share. All of such shares are
"restricted" securities, as that term is defined by the Securities act of 1933,
as amended, and are held by a director of the Company. (See "Dilution".)
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number of
shares of our common stock owned beneficially as of April 22, 2008 by: (i) each
person (including any group) known to us to own more than five percent (5%) of
any class of our voting securities, (ii) our director, and or (iii) our officer.
Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholder listed possesses sole voting and
investment power with respect to the shares shown.

----------
(1) A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or
indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship,
or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to
vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which
includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain
shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if,
for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the
shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a
person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon
exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the
information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any
person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of
shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason
of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding
shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect
the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of
shares of common stock actually outstanding on April 22, 2008. As of April
22, 2008, there were 1,500,000 shares of our common stock issued and
outstanding.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
GENERAL
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock,
with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of April 22, 2008, there were
1,500,000 shares of our common stock of our common stock issued and outstanding
that was held of record by one (1) registered stockholder.
COMMON STOCK
The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions associated
with our common stock. This description does not purport to be a complete
description of all of the rights of our stockholders and is subject to, and
qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of our most current Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, which are included as exhibits to this Registration
Statement.
The holders of our common stock currently have (i) equal ratable rights to
dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by
the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all
of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of common
stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company
(iii) do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no
redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto; and (iv) are
entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stock
holders may vote. All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for
and non-assessable and all shares of common stock which are the subject of this
offering, when issued, will be fully paid for and non-assessable. Please refer
to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and the applicable statutes
of the State of Delaware for a more complete description of the rights and
liabilities of holders of the Company's securities.
27
NON-CUMULATIVE VOTING
The holders of shares of common stock of the Company do not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holder of more than 50% of such outstanding
shares, voting for the election of director, can elect all of the directors to
be elected, if she so chooses, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining
shares will not be able to elect any of the Company's directors. After this
Offering is completed, the present stockholder will own 60% of the outstanding
shares. (See "Dilution").
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We
currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of
our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify an officer,
director, or former officer or director, to the full extent permitted by law. We
have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by one of our director, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the
securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of
whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Green Star Mining, Corp.
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Green Star Mining, Corp. (An
Exploration Stage Company) as of February 29, 2008, and the related statement of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from January 22,
2008 (inception), to February 29, 2008. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable
basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Green Star Mining, Corp. (An
Exploration Stage Company) as of February 29, 2008, and the results of its
operations and cash flows from January 22, 2008 (inception), to February 29,
2008 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 # 6 to the financial
statements, the Company has had no operations and has no established source of
revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note
# 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
February 29, 2008
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Green Star Mining Corp. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Delaware on January 22, 2008. The Company was formed to engage in the
acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties.
The Company is in the exploration stage. Its activities to date have been
limited to capital formation, organization and development of its business plan.
The Company has not commenced operations.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting. The Company has elected a February 28, year-end.
BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
(loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. SFAS No. 128
supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic
earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128 effective January 22, 2008 (date of
inception).
Basic net earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing the net
earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per
share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
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 disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. In accordance with FASB 16 all
adjustments are normal and recurring.

Notes to Financial Statements
February 29, 2008
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". A deferred tax
asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial
and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense
(benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred
tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior
Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements." SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected
misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current
year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify
misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is
material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108
is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No.
108 had no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures". This
Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about
fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that
require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new
fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities,
the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning
March 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157
but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-retirement Plans." This Statement
requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a
defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an
asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize
changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through

comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2006. The implementation of SFAS No. 158 had no material impact on
the Company's financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This statement permits entities to
choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been
elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact
of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements are presented on a going concern basis.
The Company had no operations during the period from January 22, 2008 (date of
inception) to February 29, 2008 and generated a net loss of $ 9,000. This
condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Because the Company is currently in the exploration stage and has
minimal expenses, management believes that the company's current cash of $
15,000 is sufficient to cover the expenses they will incur during the next
twelve months in a limited operations scenario or until they raise additional
funding.
Management plans to raise additional funds through debt or equity offerings.
Management's current plan includes an S-1 registration statement with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission of 1,000,000 shares for sale at $.025 per
share to raise capital of $25,000 to implement their business plan. There is no
guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through this or any
other offerings.
NOTE 5. WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of
common.
NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Nan E. Weaver, the sole officer and director of the Company may, in the future,
become involved in other business opportunities as they become available, and
she may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and her other business
opportunities. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of
such conflicts.
Nan E. Weaver, sole officer and director of the Company, will not be paid for
any underwriting services that she performs on behalf of the Company with
respect to the Company's upcoming S-1 offering. She will also not receive any
interest on any funds that she advances to the Company for offering expenses
prior to the offering being closed which will be repaid from the proceeds of the
offering.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(a) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(b) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(c) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
2. To, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and to treat the offering of
such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of
the securities being registered hereby that remains unsold at the
termination of the offering.
4. For determining liability of the undersigned Registrant under the
Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities, that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned
Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the
underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to
such purchaser:
(a) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(b) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on
behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned Registrant;
(c) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned
Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant; and
(d) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to our director, officers and controlling
persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
II-2
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our director,
officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding, is asserted by one of our director, officers, or controlling
person sin connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
For determining any liability under the Securities Act, we shall treat the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by us under Rule 424 (b) (1), or (4), or 497(h) under the
Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the
Commission declared it effective.
For determining any liability under the Securities Act, we shall treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and that the offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.
For the purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act for any
purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a
registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on
Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that
is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time
of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement
that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
date of first use.
