METALLINE MINING COMPANY ANNUAL REPORT
ON FORM 10-KSB FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2005

PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Overview

Metalline Mining Company (the "Company") is an exploration stage enterprise, formed under the laws of the state of Nevada on August 20, 1993, to engage in the business of mining. The Company currently owns eight concessions, which are located in the municipality of Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, Mexico. The Company's objective is to define sufficient mineral reserves on the Property to justify the development of a mechanized mining operation (the "Project"). The Company conducts its operations in Mexico through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Minera Metalin S.A. de C.V. The Company currently has a total of five employees, including four full-time employees.

Mining operations are typically developed in phases. These phases include: 1) exploring to identify available mineral deposits and define a resource; 2) conducting a feasibility study to determine whether deposits may be profitably extracted; and 3) eventually developing mining operations. The Company has already conducted extensive exploration and identification of the mineralization located on the concessions that it possesses in the Sierra Mojada mining district, or the District. The Company has also initiated a feasibility study. If the results of the feasibility study are positive and the Company is able to secure sufficient financing, then the Company would proceed to the development stage, leading eventually to the operation of a mine on the concessions.

Thus far, the Company has spent a total of approximately $13 million during the exploration phase and continues to maintain a sampling and drilling program that is budgeted at approximately $50,000 per month, not including analytical costs, which can vary from $20,000 to $40,000 per month. The Company estimates that completion of a feasibility study will cost approximately $5 million and the Company expects that it will take approximately 12 months to complete. Following the completion of a successful feasibility study, the Company would then proceed to the construction phase, which would entail construction of a mine and related infrastructure pursuant to a mine plan developed specifically for the Company's concessions, and construction of an extraction plant to extract metal from the ore that would be mined.

Much of the infrastructure required for a mine, including access to roads, electricity and rail lines, is already in place due to the historical mining operations conducted in the District. Results from mapping, sampling, drilling and inspection of existing workings indicate that large mineralized resources can be developed within and adjacent to the existing workings and in unexplored stratigraphic units outside of and below the existing mine workings. The Company anticipates that it would also build additional infrastructure, including mine access, a tailings pond and an extraction plant. The Company would also enter into agreements with the landowners of the concessions' surface rights upon completion of a feasibility study and finalization of a mine plan for the Project. The Company estimates that construction of a mine and extraction plant would cost approximately $400 million and take approximately two to three years to complete.

A description of work completed in the exploration phase and initiated in the feasibility phase follows:

In 1997 the Company initiated exploration of the concessions by collecting and analyzing historical data from previous mining operations, surveying the locations of the mines, geological mapping, and sampling of the surface and some of the existing mines. Based on the information gained from this work, the Company has been exploring the tabular, nearly horizontal bodies of mineralized material located on the concessions that are known as mantos.
 
-1-

Exploration from 1997 to 1999 concentrated on the polymetallic copper, silver, zinc, lead mineralization north of the Sierra Mojada Fault. The Veta Rica, Once, San Jose and other mines located in the western part of the district were mapped and channel sampled. In the eastern part of the District in the Encantada and Fronteriza mines, copper, silver, zinc, lead mineralization has been mapped, channel sampled and drilled and is known as the Polymetallic Manto. Work on the polymetallic mineralization was put on standby in 1999 when the Company recognized the potential of the oxide zinc mineralization as a result of a positive feasibility study conducted on the Skorpion Mine located in Namibia, Africa, that demonstrated that the use of the solvent extraction electrowinning ("SXEW) process could make it profitable to mine oxide zinc deposits that would otherwise be unfeasible. Now that the Company's work on the oxide zinc mineralization is in the feasibility study stage, the Company anticipates continued exploration of the polymetallic mineral system north of the Sierra Mojada Fault. However, the Company has not yet allocated financial resources nor established a timeline for when it expects to initiate such additional exploration.

In September 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with North Ltd. of Australia. North Ltd. conducted a surface reverse circulation drill program that drilled 26 holes to explore the oxide zinc mineralization south of the Sierra Mojada Fault. North Ltd. was purchased by Rio Tinto for its iron ore holdings and in October 2000 Rio Tinto terminated the joint venture with the Company. Rio Tinto did not retain an interest in the Sierra Mojada concessions.

In November 2001, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Servios Industriales Penoles ("Penoles"), Mexico's second largest mining company. Penoles conducted exploration of the oxide zinc mineralization that included: channel sampling; driving raises vertically through the mineralized mantos; and surface and underground drilling. In November 2003, Penoles and the Company terminated their joint venture agreement by mutual consent. Penoles did not retain an interest in the concessions.

The Company initiated a diamond drill program in January 2004, and drilled over 30,000 meters in 2004 and 2005. In addition, over 9,000 meters of percussion drill and over 12,000 meters of channel samples of the oxide zinc mineralization in the San Salvador, Encantada and Fronteriza mines has been completed by the Company and its joint venture partners. This work has defined a body of oxide zinc mineralization extending 1,500 meters in an east-west direction, 100 to 200 meters in a north-south direction, and 20 to 100 meters vertically. The Company intends to continue the drill program into the Esmeralda mine, the next mine to the west of the San Salvador, to further define the extent of the Iron Oxide Manto and the Smithsonite Manto.

Prior mining of oxide zinc mineralization has occurred intermittently over a distance in excess of 5 kilometers from the Oriental Mine located in the east end of the District to the Vasquez Tres Mine located in the west end of the District. Holes drilled 2,000 meters west of the San Salvador Mine intersected oxide zinc mineralization that is up to 140 meters (460 feet) thick and 10 meters (33 feet) below the surface. Drilling has also intersected oxide zinc mineralization intermittently over the 2,000 meters between the Fronteriza mine and the Oriental mine.

In 2004, the Company retained Reserva International, LLC, an independent contractor specializing in resource evaluation, to generate a block model evaluation based upon the data compiled from the Company's and its joint venture partner's accumulated database to determine the size and grade of the mineralization of the Iron Oxide Manto and the Smithsonite Manto. Based on the estimates generated from the block model evaluation, the Company has determined that the estimated mineralization justifies a feasibility study of the Iron Oxide Manto.

Although the Company is of the opinion that sufficient mineralized material has been defined to justify construction of a mine, extraction plant and refinery, the Company still must complete a feasibility study to determine whether a mining operation may be profitably conducted. This study will consist of a detailed engineering and economic valuation of the Iron Oxide Manto mineralized material to determine the viability and profitability of the potential operation.

The Company initiated the feasibility study in 2004, retaining Green Team Consultants Internation cc ("GTI"), of Johannesburg, South Africa. GTI was selected, in part, due to GTI's experience conducting the feasibility study for the Skorpion Mine in Namibia, Africa. GTI supervised the design, construction and training of the Skorpion Zinc personnel, and operated the mine and extraction plant through initial production and until the mine and plant were 90% of capacity, at which point operation of the mine and plant was turned over to Skorpion Zinc, a subsidiary of Anglo American Corporation PLC.
 
-2-

The Skorpion Mine is the first, and to date only, mine in the world using the SXEW process for extracting zinc from oxide zinc ore and produces a refined product, Super High Grade zinc which is 99.995% zinc. SXEW is a hydrometallurgical process that has about a 30% lower cost for extracting zinc than the pyrometallurgical process used at smelters by essentially all other mining operations around the world. The Company anticipates that using the SXEW process will enable the Company to extract zinc more efficiently and economically than its competitors.

GTI, as general contractor for the feasibility study, has retained TWP Consulting (pty) Ltd. ("TWP") to prepare the mine plan as part of the feasibility study for the Project. TWP is a large South African mining consulting company that has worked on large mining projects in South Africa and internationally, including the mine plan at the Skorpion Mine.

GTI has also retained Min-Tek, a South African consulting company specializing in mineral and metallurgical research and development, to complete the metallurgical work for the Project. Min-Tek performed the metallurgical work for the Skorpion feasibility studies.

GTI has also retained SRK Consulting ("SRK") as the auditing engineering firm for the feasibility study. SRK is a world-wide engineering consulting company that was the auditing engineering firm for the feasibility study of the Skorpion Mine.

Principals of GTI, TWP and SRK have completed a tour and examination of the Sierra Mojada Property, reviewed the project data, conducted underground examination of the Iron Oxide, Smithsonite and Polymetallic Mantos, and selected surface locations for the mine and extraction plant facilities.

On July 12, 2005, the Company released the results of Mint-Tek's metallurgical test work. The test work focused on demonstrating the viability of using a combination of dense media separation ("DMS") and flotation processes to successfully produce a zinc oxide concentrate from a variety of samples taken from the Sierra Mojada mineralization. The report included a conceptual block flow diagram showing the key DMS and flotation steps followed by conventional zinc refining using leach, solvent extraction and electrowinning. The Company believes that the ability to produce a concentrate which can be shipped economically would be a major contributing factor to the potential success of the Project because it would allow the Company to choose the best site for a refinery based upon the tax regime, cost of power and other capital and operating cost inputs available at various locations. In addition, the report noted that acid-consuming mineral such as limestone and dolomite would be discarded in the concentration process, which would reduce sulphuric acid consumption in the refinery process.

Min-Tek's test work of the Sierra Mojada samples indicated that a zinc oxide concentrate with a zinc content of 30% can be produced at an overall concentrator zinc recovery of 75%-80%. The concentrate produced responded well to atmospheric leaching with dilute sulphuric acid, and refinery leach extraction efficiency was above 98%. The concentrator operating cost is expected to be approximately $5-$8 per ton of ore treated, which is offset by the fact that the sulphuric acid consumption in the refinery leach step is expected to be 70% less than that achievable with direct leaching of the ore.

The Company expects to continue to optimize the concentrating process route by conducting further test work to confirm key aspects of the flowsheet and to enhance overall recovery and concentrate grade. In particular, the incorporation of cleaner and scavenger steps in the flotation circuit and the potential to recover zinc from slimes produced in the process (currently considered to be discarded) provides further upside potential.

Feasibility study work continues to determine the mining method and its related costs and to determine the production rate. Drilling continues to explore the Iron Oxide Manto mineralization to the west in the San Salvador and La Esmeralda mines. In addition, surveying, mapping and channel sampling is being conducted in the La Esmeralda mine to determine the location of historic workings. No historic data is available for the La Esmeralda mine, which produced ore from the Lead Manto south of the Sierra Mojada Fault and the copper, silver, polymetallic mineralization north of the Sierra Mojada Fault. The Company expects that the decline to access the Iron Oxide Manto mineralization will enter through ground upon which La Esmeralda is located, and the location of the existing workings must be determined as part of the mine plan for the feasibility study. Channel samples in these workings have been collected and have produced a few thousand samples of mineralized material, which consist of north side copper-silver mineralization and south side oxide zinc mineralization. These samples have been prepared for assay and results will be announced when available.
 
-3-

The Company has had a mining operation in the Smithsonite Manto that has been shipping zinc carbonate ore to Cameron Chemical Company, for use as a micronutrient for the fertilizer industry. During the period ended October 31, 2005, the Company realized other income from the sale of the zinc carbonate ore. The Company has ceased mining zinc carbonate ore, but anticipates continued sales from the existing inventory of mined ore until the inventory is depleted.

Cautionary Note

The Company is an exploration stage company and does not currently have any known reserves and cannot be expected to have reserves unless and until a feasibility study is completed for the Sierra Mojada concessions that shows proven and probable reserves. There can be no assurance that the Company's concessions contain proven and probable reserves and investors may lose their entire investment in the Company.

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Risk Factors

Exploration stage mining company with no history of operation.

The Company is in its exploration stage, has no operating history, and is subject to all the risks inherent in a new business enterprise. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complication, and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new business, and the competitive and regulatory environment in which the Company will operate.

No commercially mineable ore body.

No commercially mineable ore body has been delineated on the properties, nor have any reserves been identified.

Risks inherent in the mining industry.

The Company is subject to all of the risks inherent in the mining industry including, without limitation, the following: competition from a large number of companies, many of which are significantly larger than the Company, in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties; the concession holder must pay fees and perform labor on the concessions to maintain the concessions title; exploration for minerals is highly speculative and involves substantial risks, even when conducted on properties known to contain significant quantities of mineralization, and most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore; operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls; a large number of factors beyond the control of the Company, including fluctuations in metal prices, inflation, and other economic conditions, will affect the economic feasibility of mining; mining activities are subject to substantial operating hazards some of which are not insurable or may not be insured due to economic considerations; and, the availability of water, which is essential to milling operations.
 
-4-

Nature of the industry.

Exploration, development, and mining of mineral properties is highly speculative and involves unique and greater risks than are generally associated with other businesses. The Company's operations will be subject to all the operating hazards and risks normally incident to the exploration, development, and mining of mineral properties, including risks enumerated above and below.

Fluctuating price for metals.

The Company's operations will be greatly influenced by the prices of silver, copper, lead, zinc, and other metals. These prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including expectations for inflation, the strength of the United States dollar, global and regional demand and political and economic conditions and production costs in major metal producing regions of the world.

Mining concessions.

The Company holds mining concessions in Mexico. The Company holds title to the concessions that it owns subject to its obligation to maintain the concessions by conducting work on the concessions, recording evidence of the work with the Mexican Ministry of Mines and paying a semi-annual fee to the Mexican government. Ownership of the concessions provides the Company with exclusive exploration and exploitation rights of all minerals located on the concessions, but does not include the surface rights to the real property. Therefore, the Company will need to negotiate the necessary agreements, as needed, with the appropriate surface landowners if the Company determines that a mining operation is feasible for the concessions. The Company currently anticipates that it will build mining infrastructure needed on land owned by the local municipality. Initial communications with the municipality officials indicate that they will be willing to negotiate the necessary agreements, but there can be no assurance that an agreement that is satisfactory to the Company will be reached.

Environmental controls.

Compliance with statutory environmental quality requirements may necessitate significant capital outlays, may materially affect the earning power of the Company, or may cause material changes in the Company's intended activities. No assurance can be given that environmental standards imposed by either federal or state governments will not be changed or become more stringent, thereby possibly materially adversely affecting the proposed activities of the Company.

Governmental regulation and environmental controls.

The Company's activities are subject to extensive Mexican laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration for and development of mineral properties, but also the possible effect of such activities upon the environment. In its mining operations, the Company will use certain equipment, which will subject the Company to Mexican safety and health regulations. While the Company intends to act in compliance with all such regulations, any adverse ruling under any regulations, any imposition of a fine, or any imposition of more stringent regulations could require the Company to make additional capital expenditures that could impair its operations.

Availability of water; shortages of supplies and materials.

Water is essential in all phases of the exploration and development of mineral properties. It is used in such processes as exploration, drilling, leaching, placer mining, dredging, testing, and hydraulic mining. Any water that may be found will be subject to acquisition pursuant to appropriate governing laws. The Company has not determined the availability of water at Sierra Mojada, except to note that adequate water supplies are generally developed by drilling, but has not determined the cost of acquisition. Both the lack of available water and the cost of acquisition may make an otherwise viable project economically impossible to complete. The mineral industry has experienced from time to time shortages of certain supplies and materials necessary in the exploration for and evaluation of mineral deposits. The prices at which such supplies and materials are available have also greatly increased. There is a possibility that planned operations may be subject to delays due to such shortages and that further price escalations will increase the costs of the Company.
 
-5-

Uninsured risks.

The Company may not be insured against all losses or liabilities, which may arise from operations, either because such insurance is unavailable or because the Company has elected not to purchase such insurance due to high premium costs or other reasons.

Need for subsequent funding.

The Company has an immediate need for additional funds in order to finance its proposed business operations. The Company's continued operations therefore will depend upon the availability of cash flow, if any, from its operations or its ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding when needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company cannot obtain needed funds, it may be forced to curtail or cease its activities.

Need for additional key personnel.

At the present, the Company employs four full-time and one part-time employee. The success of the Company's proposed business will depend, in part, upon the ability to attract and retain qualified employees. The Company believes that it will be able to attract competent employees, but no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in this regard. If the Company is unable to engage and retain the necessary personnel, its business would be materially and adversely affected.

Reliance upon directors and officers.

The Company is wholly dependent, at the present, upon the personal efforts and abilities of its officers and directors who will exercise control over the day to day affairs of the Company. While the Company may solicit business through its officers, there can be no assurance as to the volume of business, if any, which the Company may succeed in obtaining, nor that its proposed operations will prove to be profitable. As of the date hereof, the Company does not have any commitments regarding its proposed operations and there can be no assurance that any commitments will be forthcoming.

Non-arms' length transaction.

The number of shares of common stock issued to certain shareholders of the Company for cash was arbitrarily determined and may not be considered the product of arm's length transactions.

Indemnification of officers and directors for securities liabilities.

The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company may indemnify any director, officer, agent, and/or employee as to those liabilities and on those terms and conditions as are specified in the Nevada Business Corporation Act. Further, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against. The foregoing could result in substantial expenditures by the Company and prevent any recovery from such officers, directors, agents, and employees for losses incurred by the Company as a result of their actions. Further, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
-6-

Competition.

The Company believes that it will have competitors and potential competitors, many of whom may have considerably greater financial and other resources than the Company.

Public market for securities.

At present, the Company's common stock is traded under the symbol MMGG on the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. This market is a thinly traded market and lacks the liquidity of other public markets with which some investors may have more experience.

Cumulative voting, preemptive rights and control.

There are no preemptive rights in connection with the Company's common stock. The Company's shareholders may be further diluted in their percentage ownership of the Company in the event additional shares are issued by the Company in the future. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not provided for. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock, present in person or by proxy, will be able to elect all of the Company's Board of Directors.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

The Company has financed its obligations to date by selling shares of its common stock in transactions that have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state or foreign securities laws. The Company has attempted to limit its sales to accredited investors in compliance with the exemptions from registration provided by the Securities Act and various state securities laws for private placement transactions. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's sales will be deemed to be exempt by securities regulators. The Company is currently reviewing its sales of unregistered securities to determine whether these sales have complied with the appropriate exemptions for the states in which the Company has sold securities. A finding that the Company is liable for damages for past securities sales could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Lack of Formal Market Study

The Company has not requisitioned a formal marketing study by an independent marketing organization to evaluate the demand for mineral resources that the Company intends to develop. The Company has conducted in-house evaluation of market factors to support its assessment of the mining industry and the demand for zinc, but there can be no assurance that there is sufficient demand to support the development of the Project and the sale of zinc or other metals that the Company may mine as part of the Project.
 
No dividends anticipated.

At the present time the Company does not anticipate paying dividends, cash or otherwise, on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Future dividends will depend on earnings, if any, of the Company, its financial requirements and other factors. There can be no assurance that the Company will pay dividends.

The eight concessions total 7,060 hectares (17,445 acres). The Company owns 100% of the eight concessions pursuant to purchase agreements with the previous owners. A number of prior established concessions that are not owned by the Company are located within the largest concession, the Sierra Mojada concession. The Company holds title to the concessions that it owns subject to its obligation to maintain the concessions by conducting work on the concessions, recording evidence of the work with the Mexican Ministry of Mines and paying a semi-annual fee to the Mexican government.

Ownership of a concession provides the owner with exclusive exploration and exploitation rights of all minerals located on the concessions, but does not include the surface rights to the real property. Therefore, the Company will need to negotiate the necessary agreements, as needed, with the appropriate surface landowners if the Company determines that a mining operation is feasible for the concessions. The Company currently anticipates that it will build mining infrastructure needed on land owned by the local municipality. Initial communications with the municipality officials indicate that they will be willing to negotiate the necessary agreements.

The concessions are located within a mining district known as the Sierra Mojada District (the "District"). The District is located in the west central part of the state of Coahuila, Mexico, near the Coahuila-Chihuahua state border approximately 200 kilometers south of the Big Bend of the Rio Grande River. See Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference for a map showing the location of the mine. The principal mining area extends for some 5 kilometers in an east-west direction along the base of the precipitous, 1,000 meter high, Sierra Mojada Range. The District has high voltage electric power supplied by the national power company, Comision Federal de Electricidad, C.F.E. and is supplied water by the municipality of Sierra Mojada. The District is accessible from Torreon by vehicle via 250 kilometers of paved road. There is a well maintained, 1,100 meter, gravel airstrip in the District as well as a railroad connecting with the National Railway at Escalon and Monclova.

Over 45 mines have produced ore from underground workings throughout the approximately five kilometer by two kilometer area that comprises the District. The Company estimates that since its discovery in 1879, the District has produced about 10 million tons of high grade ore that was shipped directly to smelters. The District has never had a mill to concentrate ore and all mining conducted thus far has been limited to selectively mined ore of sufficient grade to direct ship to smelters. The Company believes that mill grade mineralization that was not mined remains available for extraction. The Company anticipates exploring and potentially developing the mill grade mineralization and the unexplored portions of the concessions.

The concessions contain two distinct mineral systems separated by the Sierra Mojada Fault which trends east-west along the base of the range. North of the fault mineralization composed of silver, copper, zinc, lead sulfide and oxide minerals. South of the fault the mineralization is oxide zinc and oxide lead minerals.

The sediments in the District are predominantly limestone and dolomite with some conglomerate, sandstone and shale and the bedding attitudes are near horizontal. The mines are dry and the rocks are competent. The thickness and attitude of the mineralized material is amenable to high volume mechanized mining methods and low cost production.

Much of the infrastructure required for a mine, including access to roads, electricity and rail lines, is already in place due to the historical mining operations conducted in the District. Results from mapping, sampling, drilling and inspection of existing workings indicate that large mineralized resources can be developed within and adjacent to the existing workings and in unexplored stratigraphic units outside of and below the existing mine workings. The Company anticipates that it would also build additional infrastructure, including mine access, a tailings pond and an extraction plant. The Company would also enter into agreements with the landowners of the concessions' surface rights upon completion of a feasibility study and finalization of a mine plan for the Project. The Company estimates that construction of a mine and extraction plant would cost approximately $400 million and take approximately two to three years to complete. The Company intends to finance this cost with a combination of equity and debt. In addition the Company may seek joint venture partners or other alternative financing sources as necessary to complete development of the Project.

The Company's corporate offices are located at 1330 East Margaret Avenue, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 83815, and its telephone number is (208) 665-2002 and FAX is (208) 665-0041. The Company's facilities in Mexico include offices, residences, shops, warehouse buildings and mining equipment located at Calle Maria #1, La Esmeralda, Coahuila, Mexico. The Company's telephone and FAX number in Mexico is 52 872 761 5129. Electric power has been upgraded to 13,200 volts and lines run to the compound, the shops and the San Salvador and Encantada mines. The San Salvador and the Encantada mines have been electrified and the main levels are wired. San Salvador and Encantada head frames and hoists have been rebuilt and upgraded. In management's opinion, the Company's properties may not be adequately covered by insurance. The Company has chosen not to obtain such insurance for the Company's properties in Mexico because it would be difficult to obtain and the cost of such insurance would outweigh its value. In management's opinion, the Company's plant and equipment are in good condition and well maintained.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

Plan of Operation

The Company's plan of operation for the next twelve months, subject to maintaining sufficient funds, is to conduct a feasibility study for the Company's Sierra Mojada Project to determine whether a mining operation may be profitably conducted on the Company's concessions. The study is expected to include a detailed engineering and economic valuation of the Iron Oxide Manto mineralized material with continued geologic mapping of the surface and underground workings, sampling and drilling to explore for additional mineralization, and compilation of the data into a computer data base for reserve calculation to determine whether a mining operation can be economically conducted on the Company's Sierra Mojada concessions. See "Description of Business."

In order to finance the initiation of the feasibility study, the Company has raised capital by selling unregistered shares of its common stock in a private placement offering. The Company anticipates that the funds that it has raised will be sufficient to maintain operations for the next twelve months, but there can be no assurance that the Company has sufficient funds to complete the feasibility study. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may have to cease operations.

Due to the Company's lack of revenues, the Company's independent certified public accountants included a paragraph in the Company's 2005 financial statements relative to a going concern uncertainty. The Company has financed its obligations during the 2004-2005 fiscal year by its sale of 476,404 shares at an average price of $0.98 per share.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Metalline Mining Company (a Nevada corporation and an exploration stage company) as of October 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from November 8, 1993 (inception) to October 31, 2005. These consolidated 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Metalline Mining Company as of October 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations, stockholders' equity and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from November 8, 1993 (inception) to October 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F/S-7


METALLINE MINING COMPANY
             
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
             
 
               
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Metalline Mining Company ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 8, 1993 as the Cadgie Company for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. The Cadgie Company was a spin-off from its predecessor, Precious Metal Mines, Inc. On June 28, 1996, at a special directors meeting, the Company's name was changed to Metalline Mining Company. The Company's fiscal year-end is October 31.

The Company expects to engage in the business of mining. The Company currently owns concessions located in Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, Mexico. The Company conducts its operations in Mexico through its wholly owned subsidiary corporation, Minera Metalin S.A. de C.V. ("Minera Metalin").

The Company's efforts have been concentrated in expenditures related to exploration properties, principally in the Sierra Mojada project located in Coahuila, Mexico. The Company has not determined whether the exploration properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in exploration properties is dependent upon the success of future property sales, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing or make other arrangements for development, and upon future profitable production. The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in exploration properties cannot be determined at this time, and accordingly, no provision for any asset impairment that may result, in the event the Company is not successful in developing or selling these properties, has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company is actively seeking additional capital and management believes its properties can ultimately be sold or developed to enable the Company to continue its operations. However, there are inherent uncertainties in mining operations and management cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in this endeavor. Furthermore, the Company is in the exploration stage, as it has not realized any revenues from its planned operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

Accounts Receivable
The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and determines if an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.

The Company has not yet established a policy regarding accruing interest on trade receivables. Accounts will be written off as uncollectible when it is determined that collection will be unlikely.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all bank accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts and short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 2005
 
               
Compensated Absences
The Company's policy is to recognize the cost of compensated absences when actually paid to employees. If the amount were estimatible, it would not be currently recognized as the amount would be deemed immaterial.

Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its domestic cash in two commercial depository accounts. One of these accounts is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $100,000. The other account consists of money market funds, certificates of deposit and preferred securities, all of which are not insured. The Company also maintains cash in banks in Mexico. These accounts, which had U.S. dollar balances of $30,110 and $61,616 at October 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are denominated in pesos and are considered uninsured. Additionally, the Company maintained Mexican petty cash balances of $428 and $4,864 at October 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At October 31, 2005, the Company's cash balances included $114,965 which was not federally insured.

Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," (hereinafter "SFAS No. 133") as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

During the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Although there were common stock equivalents outstanding October 31, 2005 and 2004, they were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because they would have been considered anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents outstanding were 1,833,887 and 1,647,665 at October 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 2005
 
               
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 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.

Exploration Costs
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company expenses exploration costs as incurred. Exploration costs expensed during the year ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 were $1,666,884 and $3,374,049, respectively. The exploration costs expensed during the Company's exploration stage amount to $5,334,086.

Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since November 8, 1993 and has no revenues from operations. The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of property concessions. Should the Company locate a commercially minable reserve, the Company would expect to actively prepare the site for extraction.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, advances to employees, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at October 31, 2005 and 2004.

Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Exchange differences arising on translation are disclosed as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the results of operations.

Foreign Operations
The accompanying balance sheet at October 31, 2005 contains Company assets in Mexico, including: $4,334,767 in property concessions; $514,855 (before accumulated depreciation) of mining equipment; and $30,538 of cash. Although this country is considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company's operations. The Mexican government does not require foreign entities to maintain cash reserves in Mexico.

Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues, has incurred a net loss of $3,302,161 for the year ended October 31, 2005 and has an accumulated deficit of $16,621,799. These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

The Company's management believes that significant and imminent private placements of stock and continuing contracted agreements will generate sufficient cash for the Company to continue to operate based on current expense projections. The Company is currently operating on the cash proceeds of a private placement offering currently in progress.

Marketable Securities
Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, the Company classifies marketable securities as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. During the year ended October 31, 2004, the Company invested $1,250,000 in total-return mutual funds consisting of equities, convertible debt and high-yield securities, and classified them as trading. During the year ended October 31, 2005, these securities were sold and the proceeds were used in the operations of the Company. The Company did not hold marketable securities at October 31, 2005.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is listed in Note 1.

Property Concessions
Costs of acquiring property concessions are capitalized by project area upon purchase or staking of the associated claims. Costs to maintain the property concessions and leases are expensed as incurred. When a property concession reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves.

Property concessions are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value is charged to operations at the time of impairment. Should a property concession be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to property concessions sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to property concessions abandoned or sold based on the proportion of claims abandoned or sold to the claims remaining within the project area.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not increase the useful life of the assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is determined using the straight-line or accelerated methods over the expected useful lives of the assets. See Note 3.

Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 109"). Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.

At October 31, 2005, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate of 34% of approximately $4,618,000, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, there is a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 ("SFAS No. 154"), "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement requires entities that voluntarily make a change in accounting principle to apply that change retrospectively to prior periods' financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period's net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this statement will not have an immediate material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47"), "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations." FIN 47 clarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement obligation," which as used in SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The entity must record a liability for a "conditional" asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this statement will not have an immediate material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153. This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date of this statement is issued. Management believes the adoption of this statement will not impact the financial statements of the Company.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, which amends SFAS Statement No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions." This statement also amends SFAS No. 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects," to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects, does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this Statement will not impact the financial statements of the Company.

Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes revenue when there is a mutually executed contract, the contract price is fixed and determinable, delivery of the product has occurred, and collectibility of the contract price is considered probable. As of October 31, 2005, the Company has not recognized revenues.

Stock-Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 123"), defines a fair value-based method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. The Company has adopted this method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
 
NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line or accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of property, plant and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are five to seven years for equipment, and 39 years for buildings.

Depreciation expense for the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 was $83,557 and $63,045, respectively. The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.

NOTE 4 - CONCESSIONS IN THE SIERRA MOJADA DISTRICT

Sierra Mojada Mining Concessions
During the period of August 23, 1996 to July 18, 2000, the Company executed six separate agreements for the acquisition of eight concessions in the mining region known as the Sierra Mojada District located in Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, Mexico. Each agreement enabled the Company to explore the underlying concession in consideration for the payment of stipulated annual payments. Each of the concession agreements included an option to purchase the concession and the annual payments, which were applied in full toward the contracted purchase price of the related concession.

The Company subsequently completed the purchase of the eight concessions, as follows: Esmeralda, consisting of approximately 118 hectares, on March 20, 1997; Fortuna, consisting of approximately 14 hectares, on December 8, 1999; Sierra Mojada and Mojada 3, consisting of approximately 4,767 and 1,689 hectares, respectively, on May 30, 2000; Unificacion Mineros Nortenos and Vulcano, consisting of approximately 337 and 4 hectares, respectively, on August 30, 2000; Esmeralda I, consisting of approximately 98 hectares, on August 20, 2001; and La Blanca, consisting of approximately 34 hectares, on August 20, 2001. The Company has recorded the concessions at acquisition cost.

All of the concessions were acquired by purchase agreements with Mexican entities and/or Mexican individuals and all of the concessions were paid for in cash. In the acquisition of Sierra Mojada and Mojada 3 there was one purchase agreement for both concessions. Also, in the acquisition of Unificacion Mineros Nortenos and Vulcano, there was one purchase agreement for both concessions.

Because all eight concessions are located in the Sierra Mojada Mining District and in close proximity to one another, the concessions are routinely treated as one major prospect area and are collectively referred to as the Sierra Mojada Project. The primary work performed on the Company's concessions has consisted of geologic mapping, sampling, and drilling. This work has resulted in establishing the presence of mineralized material (zinc) of sufficient quantity and grade to justify in the Company's opinion a feasibility study, which commenced during 2005.

("Penoles") whereby Penoles may earn the right to acquire a 60% interest in certain mining concessions located in the Sierra Mojada region of Coahuila, Mexico. The earn-in right was contingent upon the following: delivery by Penoles within four years of a pre-feasibility study, completion by Penoles of $1,000,000 of qualified expenditures on the aforementioned mining concessions, and Penoles purchase of up to 250,000 shares of Metalline's common stock $2.00 per share. As of October 31, 2003, Penoles had purchased 150,000 shares of common stock under this agreement. See Note 8.

During the year ended October 31, 2003, the Company received reimbursement of $151,536 from Penoles for expenses incurred by Metalline, which were applied toward an aggregate $85,712 of qualified expenditures incurred by Penoles. In November 2003, the agreement between the Company and Minas Penoles was terminated by the Company.

Northern Limited
On October 7, 1999, the Company announced that it entered into a five-year "earn-in" type of a joint venture agreement with North Limited. The agreement gives North Limited the right to earn into 60% of the Company's Sierra Mojada Project by providing all funds necessary to complete a feasibility study delivered in no more than five years that is acceptable to international banking institutions for lending development capital. North Limited is a large Australian mining company based in Melbourne, Australia and was known as North Broken Hill Peko before a name change in 1994. In August 2000, Rio Tinto Limited purchased North Limited for its iron ore holdings and subsequently terminated North Limited's agreement with the Company.
