FOR
 A SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AND OPTIONHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JULY 28, 2006
 RELATING TO
A PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT
INVOLVING
MEXGOLD RESOURCES INC.
AND GAMMON LAKE RESOURCES INC.

June 28, 2006

 

Please carefully read this management information circular, including its schedules and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as they contain detailed information relating to, among other things, the plan of arrangement that the shareholders and stock option holders of Mexgold Resources Inc. will be voting on at the special meeting.


June 28, 2006

Dear Shareholder and/or Optionholder:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders of common shares ("Shareholders") and holders of stock options ("Optionholders") of Mexgold Resources Inc. ("Mexgold"). The Meeting will be held at 1601 Lower Water Street, Suite 402, Summit Place, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2P8, commencing at 3:00 p.m. (Halifax time) on July 28, 2006.

At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve the proposed acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares and stock options of Mexgold by Gammon Lake Resources Inc. ("Gammon Lake"), which will take place by way of an arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement").

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Shareholders will receive 0.47 of a Gammon Lake common share for each common share of Mexgold held. Holders of stock options of Mexgold will receive stock options of Gammon Lake to purchase a proportionate number of Gammon Lake common shares at a proportionate price (in each case based on the exchange ratio of 0.47 Gammon Lake common shares for each Mexgold common share).

The terms of the Arrangement imply a value of $7.49 per Mexgold common share to Shareholders, representing a 21% premium, in both cases based on the 20-day volume weighted average prices of Gammon Lake and Mexgold common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, respectively, for the period ending May 26, 2006 (the last trading day before the Arrangement was announced), and an implied value of $6.67 per Mexgold common share, representing a 17% premium, in both cases based on the closing prices on May 26, 2006. Upon completion of the Arrangement, the former shareholders of Mexgold (other than Gammon Lake) are expected to own approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Gammon Lake on a non-diluted basis.

Gammon Lake is a mineral exploration and development company engaged in the exploration for and development of gold and silver deposits in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. Gammon Lake’s common shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX trading symbol: GAM) and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX trading symbol: GRS). Gammon Lake also owns approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Mexgold.

We believe that the Arrangement will create a new intermediate gold-silver company with improved market capitalization with a resultant increase in trading liquidity, improved gold and silver production, improved mineral resources, improved financial strength, and an attractive portfolio of exploration properties.

In order to become effective, the Arrangement must be approved by (a) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the Shareholders and the Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, voting together as a single class, with Optionholders having one vote for each common share they would be entitled to have issued to them if their stock options were fully exercised; and (b) a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by holders of Mexgold common shares other than Gammon Lake and certain persons related to Gammon Lake. The Arrangement is subject to certain other conditions and the receipt of all applicable approvals and consents, including the approval of the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario).

The attached Notice of Special Meeting and Management Information Circular (the "Circular") describes in detail the Arrangement and the procedures to be followed at the Meeting. Please review the Circular carefully, as it has been prepared to help you make an informed decision. If you require assistance, please consult your financial, legal or other professional advisor.

After considering (i) the recommendation of a special committee of independent directors formed to consider the Arrangement, (ii) the valuation of the Mexgold common shares and of the consideration to be received by Shareholders under the Arrangement prepared by TD Securities Inc., financial advisor to the special committee, and (iii) the opinion of TD Securities Inc., that, as of May 28, 2006, the consideration to be received by the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake) in connection with the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders, the Board of Directors of Mexgold has determined that the Arrangement is fair to the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake) and is in the best interests of Mexgold,


- ii -

and unanimously recommends that the Shareholders and Optionholders vote in favour of the special resolution regarding the Arrangement. Further details on how the Board of Directors made this determination are set out in the attached Circular.

Pursuant to an order (the "Interim Order") dated June 27, 2006, of the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario), Shareholders have been granted the right to dissent in respect of the special resolution regarding the Arrangement and to be paid the fair value of their Mexgold common shares if the Arrangement is completed. This right is described in the Circular under the heading "Rights of Dissent".

This is an important matter affecting the future of Mexgold, and it is important that your common shares and options be represented at the Meeting, regardless of how many you own. Whether or not you are able to attend in person, we urge you to complete, sign, date and return the proxy form enclosed with the Circular. You are also encouraged to complete and return the enclosed Letter of Transmittal for Shareholders (printed on YELLOW paper) enclosed with the Circular, together with the certificate(s) representing your Mexgold common shares. You will not actually receive your Gammon Lake common shares until after the Arrangement is completed and until you have returned a properly completed Letter of Transmittal together with the certificate(s) representing your Mexgold common shares. You are also encouraged to complete the request for a tax instruction letter set out in the Letter of Transmittal and, if you are a resident of the United States, the U.S. tax form appended to the Letter of Transmittal. Please see the attached Notice of Meeting and Circular for further details as to how you may properly do this.

Shareholders who hold their Mexgold common shares through a broker or other person, or who otherwise do not hold their Mexgold common shares in their own name, should contact that broker or other person for instructions.

On behalf of Mexgold, I would like to thank you for your past and ongoing support, and look forward to working with all of the Shareholders to ensure the process to approve the Arrangement runs as smoothly as possible.

Sincerely,

Bradley H. Langille
President

DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

Information has been incorporated by reference in this Circular from documents filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada. Copies of the documents incorporated herein by reference may be obtained by a Securityholder on request, without charge, from Mexgold Resources Inc. and Gammon Lake Resources Inc. at 1601 Lower Water Street, Suite 402, Summit Place, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2P8, Attention: The Secretary (Phone no. (902) 468-0614). Documents incorporated by reference are also available, under the respective profiles of Mexgold and Gammon Lake, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Information incorporated by reference in this Circular regarding Gammon Lake and its business and affairs has been provided by Gammon Lake and is the sole responsibility of Gammon Lake. Mexgold does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information.

NOTICE TO SECURITYHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

Pursuant to the exemption provided by Rule 3a12-3 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), this solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act. Accordingly, this Circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements in effect in Canada, which differ from disclosure requirements in the United States. Financial statements and other financial information included or incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and therefore may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies. Securityholders who are not residents of Canada should be aware that the disposition of Common Shares or Mexgold Options pursuant to the Arrangement may have tax consequences both in Canada and in the United States, or elsewhere, which may not be described fully herein. See "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations". Securityholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the Arrangement in light of their particular situations, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any other relevant foreign, state, local, or other taxing jurisdiction.

The Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and are being issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(10) thereof. The 1933 Act imposes limitations on the resale of Gammon Lake Common Shares or Gammon Lake Options issued pursuant to the Arrangement to persons who were "affiliates" of Mexgold and Gammon Lake before the Arrangement or of Gammon Lake after the Arrangement. See "Regulatory Matters – U.S. Securities Law Matters" herein.

U.S. investors are advised that the definitions of the terms "mineral reserve," "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" under CIM Standards are different than the definitions adopted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and applicable to U.S. companies filing reports with the SEC pursuant to Guide 7. It is the view of the SEC’s staff that:

  • a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to meet the requirements to designate reserves under Guide 7;
  • a historic three-year average price is to be used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves; and
  • to meet the "legal" part of the reserve definition, the primary environmental analysis or document should have been submitted to governmental authorities.

In addition, while the terms "mineral resource," "measured mineral resource," "indicated mineral resource," and "inferred mineral resource" are recognized and required to be reported by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. As such, information contained herein or incorporated by reference herein concerning descriptions of mineralization, resources and reserves under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. "Indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.


- 2 -

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Mexgold and Gammon Lake exist under the laws of Canada or the provinces thereof, that none of the officers and directors of Gammon Lake or Mexgold is a resident of the United States and that all material assets of Mexgold and Gammon Lake, including all mineral projects of each company, are located outside of the United States. You may not be able to sue a Canadian company or its officers or directors in a Canadian court for violations of U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a Canadian company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

The Arrangement as described herein and the Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options have not been approved or disapproved by any securities regulatory authority nor has any securities regulatory authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained in this Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Circular contains "forward looking information", as such term is used under Canadian securities legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of each of Mexgold and Gammon Lake. Forward looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production, synergies and financial impact of the proposed transaction; the benefits of the proposed transaction and the development potential of Mexgold’s and Gammon Lake’s properties; the future price of gold and silver; the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; capital expenditures; success of exploration activities; permitting time lines and permitting, mining or processing issues; currency exchange rate fluctuations; government regulation of mining operations; environmental risks; unanticipated reclamation expenses; title disputes or claims; litigation liabilities; and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, forward looking information can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Forward looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Mexgold and Gammon Lake to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking information, including but not limited to risks related to: unexpected events during construction, expansion and startup; variations in ore grade, tonnes mined, crushed or milled; variations in relative amounts of refractory, non-refractory and transition ores; delay or failure to receive board or government approvals; timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms; the businesses of Mexgold and Gammon Lake not being integrated successfully or such integration proving more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; not realizing the anticipated benefits from the Arrangement and all related transactions or not realizing such anticipated benefits within the expected time frame; risks related to international operations; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; conclusions of economic valuations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold and silver; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in the completion of development or construction activities, as well as those factors discussed in or referred to in the current annual Management's Discussion and Analysis of each of Mexgold and Gammon Lake and the current Annual Information Form of Gammon Lake, each filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available under the respective issuer’s profile at www.sedar.com. Although management of each of Mexgold and Gammon Lake has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. Neither Mexgold nor Gammon Lake undertakes to update any forward looking information that is included or incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Mexgold and Gammon Lake use the financial measure "cash cost" with respect to production from their mineral properties. ‘‘Cash cost’’ figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is the accepted standard of reporting cash costs of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Total cash costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, royalties and production taxes, but are exclusive of amortization, reclamation, capital and exploration costs. These costs are then divided by ounces produced to arrive at the cash operating costs per ounce of production. The measure, along with production, is considered to be a key indicator of a corporation’s ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. This data is furnished to provide additional information and is a non-GAAP measure. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs presented under GAAP.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS CIRCULAR

The information contained in this Circular is given as at June 28, 2006, except where otherwise noted. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with the Arrangement other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, any such information or representations should be considered not to have been authorized by Mexgold or Gammon Lake.

The information contained in this Circular regarding Gammon Lake and its business and affairs has been provided by Gammon Lake and is the sole responsibility of Gammon Lake. Mexgold does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information.

This Circular does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to acquire, any securities, or the solicitation of a proxy, by any person in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. Securityholders should not construe the contents of this Circular as legal, tax or financial advice and should consult with their own professional advisors as to the relevant legal, tax, financial or other matters in connection herewith.

SUMMARY

The following is a summary of and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Circular, including the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement and the financial statements contained or referred to or incorporated by reference in this Circular and which form part of this Circular. Capitalized terms used in this summary and elsewhere in this Circular and not otherwise defined are defined in the "Glossary of Terms", which follows this summary. All references to dollars are to Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The Meeting

The Meeting will be held at 1601 Lower Water Street, Suite 402, Summit Place, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2P8, commencing at 3:00 p.m. (Halifax time) on July 28, 2006.

At the Meeting, Securityholders will be asked, among other things, to consider, and if deemed advisable, approve the Arrangement Resolution authorizing the Arrangement, and to consider such other matters as may properly come before the Meeting. See "The Arrangement".

The Arrangement

Gammon Lake proposes to acquire all of the outstanding common shares and options of Mexgold by way of a plan of arrangement under the OBCA. Pursuant to the Arrangement, Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake and the Dissenting Shareholders) will receive 0.47 of a Gammon Lake Common Share for each Common Share held. Holders of Mexgold Options will receive Gammon Lake Options to purchase a proportionate number of Gammon Lake Common Shares at a proportionate price (in each case based on the exchange ratio of 0.47 Gammon Lake Common Shares for each Common Share).

The Mexgold Warrants contain standard adjustment provisions as a result of which, upon the completion of the Arrangement, each Mexgold Warrant will entitle its holder to acquire 0.47 Gammon Lake Common Shares for every Mexgold Common Share that would otherwise have been issuable upon the exercise of the Mexgold Warrants, at an exercise price per Gammon Lake Common Share equal to the exercise price of the Mexgold Warrants divided by 0.47. Accordingly, Mexgold Warrants are not included in the Arrangement. As of June 28, 2006 there were 396,000 Mexgold Warrants outstanding, all of which were held by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, the former shareholders of Mexgold (other than Gammon Lake) are expected to own approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding Gammon Lake Common Shares on a non-diluted basis.

Gammon Lake Resources Inc.

Gammon Lake is a mineral exploration and development company engaged in the exploration for and development of gold and silver deposits in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. Gammon Lake’s common shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX trading symbol: GAM) and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX trading symbol: GRS). As of June 28, 2006, Gammon Lake owned approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Gammon Lake owns the Ocampo gold-silver mine and exploration property (covering approximately 10,000 hectares and an operating underground and open pit mine) in the Chihuahua State, Mexico (the "Ocampo Project"). A bankable feasibility study for the Ocampo Project was completed by Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, Consulting Engineers, on November 29, 2004, which estimated an annual average production on the project of 170,000 ounces of gold and 6.2 million ounces of silver, at an average cash cost of US $151.74 per gold-equivalent ounce, and an internal rate of return of 65%. In February 2005, Gammon Lake assembled a mine development and operations team to place the project into production, with Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, Consulting Engineers appointed for mill and heap leach construction and commissioning. Ground breaking for the construction of the underground and open-pit mines and two surface processing facilities began in early March 2005. On February 1, 2006, Gammon Lake poured its first doré bars from the Ocampo Project. In the first year of production the Ocampo open pit mine is expected to produce 136,735 ounces of gold and 3,979,826 ounces of silver, equating to 203,065 gold equivalent ounces. Total first year commercial production at the Ocampo Project, including from underground operations, is expected to exceed 300,000 gold-equivalent ounces (190,000 ounces of gold and 6.6-million ounces of silver). Gammon Lake is continuing exploration and development work at Ocampo with a view to expanding known mineral resources and identifying new mineral resources.

See Schedule H - "Information Concerning Gammon Lake Resources Inc." for more information on Gammon Lake and its business and affairs.

Benefits of the Arrangement

Both Mexgold and Gammon Lake have been active in the exploration and development of gold and silver mineral properties in Mexico. The purpose of the Arrangement is to facilitate the acquisition by Gammon Lake of all of the outstanding Common Shares and Mexgold Options such that Mexgold will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gammon Lake. It is expected that the combined entity will be better able to compete in the capital intensive global mining and metal processing businesses than either of its predecessors individually. The Board of Directors believes that the Arrangement will provide the following benefits to the Shareholders:

  • Increased Market Capitalization: The Arrangement will create a new intermediate gold-silver company with an increased market capitalization, which will enhance its ability to compete for mineral projects and will result in increased trading liquidity.
     

  • Enhanced Production: The combined entity will have interests in two producing properties with estimated annual production of more than 400,000 gold equivalent ounces (235,600 ounces of gold and 10,500,000 ounces of silver), and will be free of hedging.
     

  • Decreased Dependence on Single Asset: Having interests in more than one producing property will mitigate the operational risks inherent in a single-mine company.
     
  • Low Cash Cost: The combined entity is expected to have cash costs of well below US$200 per gold equivalent ounce.
     
  • Increased Mineral Resources: Based on current estimates, the combined entity will have measured and indicated resources of more than 6.0-million gold equivalent ounces (3.5-million ounces of gold and 165-million ounces of silver) and additional inferred resources of more than 9.0 million gold equivalent ounces (4.9-million ounces of gold and 249-million ounces of silver). Included within the measured and indicated resources are proven and probable reserves of more than 5.0-million gold equivalent ounces (2.8-million ounces of gold and 137-million ounces of silver).

Valuation and Fairness Opinion

A copy of the Valuation and Fairness Opinion is attached as Schedule C to this Circular. The following summary of the Valuation and Fairness Opinion is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the Valuation and Fairness Opinion.

TD Securities was retained by the Special Committee to prepare a valuation of the Common Shares and the consideration to be received by the Shareholders under the Arrangement, in accordance with Rule 61-501, and to provide an opinion as to the fairness to the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake), from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by such Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement.

On May 28, 2006, at the request of the Special Committee, TD Securities verbally delivered the Valuation and Fairness Opinion. TD Securities subsequently confirmed the Valuation and Fairness Opinion to the Special Committee in writing. Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, analyses and other matters set forth in the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities concluded that, as of May 28, 2006, the fair market value of a Common Share is in the range of $6.50 to $8.00 and that the market trading value of the consideration of 0.47 of a Gammon Lake Common Share for each Common Share is in the range of $6.75 to $8.25 per Common Share. Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, analyses and other matters set forth in the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities concluded that, as of May 28, 2006, the consideration to be received by the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake) in connection with the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders.

Details of the Arrangement Agreement

The Arrangement Agreement provides for the Arrangement and matters related thereto and a copy is attached to this Circular as Schedule B. See "Details of the Arrangement Agreement". A summary of some of the principal terms of the Arrangement Agreement are set forth below and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Arrangement Agreement.

Provided all conditions to implement the Arrangement are satisfied, including that Securityholders approve the implementation of the Arrangement and the Final Court Order is obtained, the following steps will occur as an arrangement under Section 182 of the OBCA, beginning at the Effective Time, one immediately after the other:

(a)    Each issued and outstanding Common Share (other than Common Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders or Gammon Lake) will be exchanged for Gammon Lake Common Shares on the basis of 0.47 Gammon Lake Common Shares for each Common Share held; provided, however, that no fractional Gammon Lake Common Shares will be issued to any Shareholder and the number of Gammon Lake Common Shares issuable to each Shareholder on the completion of the Arrangement will be rounded up (if the fractional interest is 0.5 or more) or down (if the fractional interest is less than 0.5) to the nearest whole number of Gammon Lake Common Shares.

(b)    Each Common Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder will be deemed to be transferred to Mexgold and will be immediately cancelled, and such Dissenting Shareholder will cease to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of his or her Common Shares.

(c)   Each outstanding Mexgold Option will be exchanged for a Gammon Lake Option and the Mexgold Option will be cancelled, with each Gammon Lake Option being exercisable for that number of Gammon Lake Common Shares that is equal to the number of Common Shares that


- 9 -

        would otherwise have been issuable upon the exercise of the Mexgold Option multiplied by 0.47 (rounded down to the nearest whole Gammon Lake Common Share) at an exercise price per Gammon Lake Common Share equal to the exercise price of the applicable Mexgold Option divided by 0.47, provided that each such Gammon Lake Option will expire on the date on which the respective Mexgold Option was to expire pursuant to its terms.

Conditions to Completion of the Arrangement

The obligations of Mexgold and Gammon Lake to complete the Arrangement are subject to the satisfaction of certain customary mutual and several conditions, including: (i) the receipt of all necessary regulatory, stock exchange, court and Securityholder approvals (including the Final Order and Minority Shareholder approval); (ii) the Gammon Lake Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement and on the exercise of Gammon Lake Options being approved for listing on the TSX subject to the filing of required documentation and being free of resale restrictions in Canada other than in respect of control persons or subject to requirements of general application; and (iii) the holders of not more than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares (other than Common Shares held by Gammon Lake and officers and directors of Gammon Lake) exercising their dissent rights at the time of the vote on the Arrangement Resolution.

The Arrangement Agreement provides that if any condition to the completion of the Arrangement is not satisfied or waived by a party on or before August 11, 2006 (or any earlier date by which the condition must be satisfied), then the party entitled to the benefit of such condition may terminate the Arrangement Agreement, provided that the terminating party is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties and covenants. See "The Arrangement Agreement - Conditions Precedent to the Arrangement".

Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Mexgold has agreed not to, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, initiate, facilitate, engage in or respond to or encourage any inquiries, proposals or transactions involving Mexgold and/or its subsidiaries regarding any Acquisition Proposal; (b) encourage or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal; (c) accept, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal; or (d) cause Mexgold or any subsidiary to enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding related to any Acquisition Proposal. However, Mexgold is not prohibited from considering, negotiating, approving or recommending to its shareholders a Superior Proposal, and the Board of Directors of Mexgold may withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Gammon Lake its recommendation of the approval of the Arrangement if Mexgold: (a) provides to Gammon Lake: (i) written notice that the Special Committee has determined that it has received and is prepared to accept a Superior Proposal; (ii) a copy of any agreement or other document in respect of such Superior Proposal, not less than five full business days prior to acceptance thereof by the Board of Directors; and (iii) in the case of an Acquisition Proposal that includes non-cash consideration, the value or range of values attributed by the Board of Directors, in good faith, for such non-cash consideration after consultation with its financial advisors; (b) provides Gammon Lake with an opportunity (but not the obligation), during the five business day period to propose to amend the Arrangement Agreement to provide for consideration having a value equivalent to or more favourable to the Shareholders than that of the Superior Proposal with the result that the Superior Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal; and (c) terminates the Arrangement Agreement and reimburses Gammon Lake for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proposed Arrangement.

Mexgold is subject to additional restrictive covenants under the Arrangement Agreement. See "The Arrangement Agreement - Restrictive Covenants".

Voting by Proxy

Securityholders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person are requested to sign, date and return the accompanying form of proxy. The persons named in the accompanying forms of proxy are directors and/or officers of Mexgold and are proxyholders nominated by the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise directed, the persons named in the enclosed forms of proxy intend to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

A Securityholder has the right to appoint a person to attend and act on its behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy. To exercise this right, a Securityholder must strike out the names of the nominees of management named in the instrument of proxy the Securityholder is signing and insert the name of its nominee in the blank space provided on the proxy. A person appointed as a proxyholder need not be a Securityholder. Voting by proxy will not prevent a Securityholder from voting in person if the Securityholder attends the Meeting.


- 10 -

Non-registered holders of Common Shares who receive the Circular from their broker or another intermediary should complete and return the proxy or other authorisation form provided to them by their broker or other intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided with it. Failure to do so may result in their Common Shares not being eligible to be voted at the Meeting.

To be effective, proxies must be duly completed and signed and then deposited with Mexgold’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, fax no. 1-866-249-7775 or (416) 263-9524, not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Completed proxies may also be deposited with the Chair of the Meeting prior to its commencement. See "General Information for the Meeting".

Procedures for Exchange of Certificates by Shareholders

Enclosed with this Circular is a Letter of Transmittal (printed on yellow paper). The Letter of Transmittal, when properly completed and duly executed and returned together with certificates for Common Shares and all other required documents, will enable each Shareholder to obtain a certificate representing Gammon Lake Common Shares issued under the Arrangement to such Shareholder on the basis of 0.47 of Gammon Lake Common Shares for each Common Share previously held and represented by the deposited share certificates (rounded up if the fractional interest is 0.5 or more, and rounded down if the fractional interest is less than 0.5). No fractional Gammon Lake Common Shares will be issued under the Arrangement.

Beneficial Shareholders should contact their Intermediary for instructions and assistance in providing details for registration or delivery of their Gammon Lake Common Shares.

To ensure timely delivery of the certificate(s) representing the Gammon Lake Common Shares that a Shareholder is entitled to under the Arrangement, it is recommended that the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and signed, together with the certificates representing the Common Shares owned by such Shareholder and any other required documentation be delivered by mail, hand or courier to the Depositary at the address set forth on the back page of this Letter of Transmittal on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second business day preceding the Meeting.

Procedures for Exchange of Mexgold Options

A holder of Mexgold Options at the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive an instrument representing the Gammon Lake Options to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Arrangement as soon as practical after the Effective Date upon delivery to Gammon Lake of such documents and instruments, if any, as Gammon Lake may reasonably require, and each and every certificate, document, agreement or other instrument, if any, formerly representing Mexgold Options will be and will be deemed to be cancelled, void and of no further force and effect without any further authorization, act or formality. Gammon Lake will register and make available or send by first class mail (postage prepaid) an instrument representing Gammon Lake Options registered in the name, and to the last address of, each former holder of Mexgold Options as registered in the books and records of Mexgold. No fractional Gammon Lake Options will be issued under the Arrangement. Unless otherwise requested or directed by Gammon Lake, a holder of a Mexgold Option is not required to submit a Letter of Transmittal.

Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights on Arrangement

Pursuant to the Interim Order, a registered Shareholder has the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement and to be paid the fair value for its Common Shares by Mexgold in accordance with the terms of the Interim Order and section 185 of the OBCA as modified by the Interim Order. The procedures for the exercise of dissent rights must be strictly followed. See the description under "Rights of Dissent", and the relevant sections of the OBCA which have been reproduced in Schedule F to this Circular.


- 11 -

Securityholders wishing to dissent with respect to the proposed Transaction must send a Notice of Dissent to Mexgold, addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, at 1601 Lower Water Street, Suite 402, Summit Place, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2P8 not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, with a copy delivered to Mexgold’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, fax no. 1-866-249-7775 or (416) 263-9524. It is important that Dissenting Shareholders strictly comply with this requirement, which is different from the statutory dissent provisions of the OBCA. Failure to strictly comply with the requirements set forth in Section 185 of the OBCA as modified by the Interim Order, may result in the loss of any right of dissent. Persons who are beneficial owners of Common Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only the registered holders of such Common Shares are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial owner of Common Shares desiring to exercise this right must make arrangements for the Common Shares beneficially owned by such individual to be registered in his or her name prior to the time the Notice of Dissent to the Arrangement Resolution is required to be received by Mexgold or, alternatively, make arrangements for the registered holder of Common Shares to dissent on his or her behalf. Shareholders wishing to avail themselves of dissent rights should consult with their legal advisors.

See "Rights of Dissent".

Brief Summary of Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the ITA generally applicable to Securityholders who hold Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options and who, for the purposes of the ITA, deal at arm’s length with, and are not affiliated with, Mexgold or Gammon Lake and (in the case of Shareholders) hold their Common Shares as capital property. It is not intended to be, and it should not be construed to be, advice to any particular person. Securityholders should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Generally, a Shareholder will not realize a capital gain or capital loss on its Common Shares as a result of the implementation of the Arrangement, unless the Shareholder chooses to recognize a capital gain or capital loss in the Shareholder’s income tax return for the year in which the Arrangement is implemented or the Shareholder enters into a joint election with Gammon Lake to, for example, obtain a partial deferral. An eligible Shareholder interested in making an election should indicate that intention in the Letter of Transmittal in the space provided therein and a tax instruction letter, together with the relevant tax election forms, will be sent to the Shareholder.

Generally, a Dissenting Shareholder who receives a payment for its Common Shares equal to the fair market value of its Common Shares will be deemed, under the ITA, to have received a dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which the payment (excluding any amount received as interest) exceeds the paid-up capital of the Common Shares, and such a Dissenting Shareholder may also realize a capital gain or capital loss as more fully described under "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".

Generally, in certain circumstances, on the exchange of Mexgold Options for Gammon Lake Options under the Arrangement by an employee of Mexgold that is resident in Canada, the employee will be deemed under the ITA not to have sold the Mexgold Options and not to have acquired the Gammon Lake Options, and the Gammon Lake Options are deemed under the ITA to be the same as, and a continuation of, the Mexgold Options exchanged therefor. As a result, in such circumstances no disposition arises on the exchange that otherwise would be taxable to the employee.

If any of those circumstances do not apply or conditions are not met in respect of an employee, on the exchange of Mexgold Options for Gammon Lake Options, generally the employee will realize a taxable benefit, which must be included in computing his or her income for the year the exchange occurs. The taxable benefit is the amount calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the Gammon Lake Options he or she receives on the exchange less any consideration he or she paid to acquire the Mexgold Options.

The Information Circular contains a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to Securityholders, who are holders of Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options, in respect of the Arrangement and the above comments are qualified in their entirety by reference to such summary. See "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".

Brief Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

As of the date of this Circular, Gammon Lake and Mexgold anticipate that they each will treat the Arrangement as a tax-deferred reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, no legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge the status of the Arrangement as a tax-deferred reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or that the U.S. courts will uphold the status of the Arrangement as a tax-deferred reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code in the event of an Internal Revenue Service challenge. The requirements that must be satisfied in order for the Arrangement to qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding these requirements. In addition, even if the Arrangement qualifies as a tax-deferred reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, U.S. Holders generally will be required to recognize gain (but not loss) pursuant to the Arrangement in the event that (a) Mexgold currently is a "passive foreign investment company" or was a "passive foreign investment company" at any time during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares and (b) Gammon Lake does not qualify as a "passive foreign investment company" for the taxable year that includes the day after the Effective Date.

This summary is for general information only and it is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any Securityholder. Accordingly, Securityholders should consult their own U.S. tax advisors for advice with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to them of the Arrangement.

For a more detailed description of U.S. income tax considerations, see "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations".

Brief Summary of Mexican Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general summary of the principal Mexican federal income tax considerations under Mexican Income Tax Law, applicable to Securityholders who hold their Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options as capital property and who are residents of Canada or the U.S. It is not intended to be, and it should not be construed to be, advice to any particular person. Securityholders should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Generally, Canadian resident and U.S. resident Securityholders who dispose of their Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options will not be subject to Mexican tax on any gain realized on any such disposition.

For a more detailed description of Mexican income tax considerations, see "Mexican Federal Income Tax Considerations".

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THE MEETING

Solicitation of Proxies

The enclosed proxy is being solicited by or on behalf of the management of Mexgold in connection with a special meeting of Shareholders and Optionholders to be held at 1601 Lower Water Street, Suite 402, Summit Place, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2P8, commencing at 3:00 p.m. (Halifax time) on July 28, 2006.

The mailing of this Circular to the Securityholders will be on or about July 7, 2006. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Mexgold. While most proxies will be solicited by mail only, regular employees of Mexgold may also solicit proxies by telephone or in person. Such employees will receive no additional compensation for these services other than their regular salaries, but will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses. In connection with the solicitation of proxies, Mexgold may retain one or more dealers as a soliciting dealer group to solicit proxies from Shareholders at a cost to Mexgold.

Mexgold will provide proxy materials to brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries and will request that such materials be promptly forwarded to the beneficial owners of Common Shares registered in the names of such brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries. Mexgold will reimburse brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable charges and expenses incurred in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of Common Shares.

Voting Common Shares

The Board of Directors has fixed June 28, 2006 as the record date for the purpose of determining Shareholders and Optionholders entitled to receive Notice of the Meeting (the "Record Date").

Mexgold will prepare, no later than ten (10) days following the Record Date, a list of Securityholders entitled to vote as of the Record Date, showing the number of Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options held by each such Securityholder. Each person named on the list of Securityholders is entitled to one (1) vote for each Common Share held and one (1) vote for each Common Share issuable on the exercise of the Mexgold Options held, except to the extent that: (i) a Shareholder has transferred any Common Shares after the Record Date, and (ii) the transferee of those Common Shares produces properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establishes ownership of those Common Shares and requests not later than ten (10) days before the date of the Meeting that the transferee's name be included on such list before the Meeting, in which case the transferee is entitled to vote those Common Shares at the Meeting.

Registered Securityholders

Registered shareholders are shareholders whose Common Shares are held in their own name and they will have received a proxy form in their own name. Optionholders will have received a blank proxy form to be completed by the Optionholders.

Non-Registered/Beneficial Shareholders

Beneficial Shareholders are shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name, but rather in the name of a nominee - this could be, among others, a bank, trust company, securities broker or other financial institution (and is known as holding the Common Shares in "street form").

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, there are two (2) ways you can vote your Common Shares held by your nominee. Your nominee is required to seek voting instructions from you in advance of the Meeting in accordance with securities laws, and so you will receive, or will have already received from your nominee, a request for voting instructions or a proxy form for the number of Common Shares you hold. Every nominee has its own mailing procedures and provides its own signing and return instructions. Therefore, please follow them in order to make sure that your Common Shares are voted.

Alternatively, if you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, please insert your own name in the space provided on the "Request for Voting Instructions" or proxy form to appoint yourself as proxyholder and follow the signing and return instructions of your nominee. Non-registered shareholders who appoint themselves as proxyholders must, at the Meeting, present themselves to a representative of Computershare Investor Services Inc.

Appointment of Proxy Holders

The persons named in the enclosed forms of proxy are directors and/or officers of Mexgold. You have the right to appoint some other person (who need not be a Securityholder) to attend and to act for and on your behalf at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you must either insert the name of the desired person in the blank space provided in the form of proxy accompanying this Circular and strike out the other names or submit another proper form of proxy and, in either case, deliver the completed proxy by post or other form of delivery to Mexgold’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, fax no. 1-866-249-7775 or (416) 263-9524, as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Completed proxies may also be deposited with the Chair of the Meeting prior to its commencement.

All Common Shares or Mexgold Options represented by a properly executed and deposited proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Securityholder as specified in the relevant form of proxy.

If you have appointed a person who was designated by Mexgold to vote on your behalf as provided in the enclosed form of proxy and you do not provide any instructions concerning any matter identified in the Notice of Meeting, the Common Shares or Mexgold Options represented by such proxy will be voted FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

The enclosed form of proxy, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority on the person or persons named to vote on any amendment to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and on any other matter properly coming before the Meeting. Management is not aware of any such matter; however, if such matter properly comes before the Meeting, the proxies will be voted at the discretion of the person or persons named therein.

Revocability of Proxies

A Securityholder executing the enclosed forms of proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised. Relevant provisions of the OBCA provide that a shareholder may revoke a proxy by depositing an instrument in writing, executed by the shareholder or by an attorney authorized in writing, at, or by transmitting, by telephonic or electronic means or any other manner permitted by law, a revocation to, the registered office of Mexgold at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or by depositing such instrument with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting but prior to the commencement of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner permitted by law. Optionholders may revoke proxies previously submitted in the same manner.

A Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to revoke voting instructions previously given to its nominee should follow the signing and return instructions of your nominee. The revocation of voting instructions should be made sufficiently in advance of the Meeting to permit the nominee to revoke any proxy given by it in accordance with the proxy revocation procedure described in the previous paragraph.

THE ARRANGEMENT

General

The purpose of the Arrangement is to combine Mexgold with Gammon Lake such that Mexgold will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gammon Lake. The management of both companies believes that the combination will create a new intermediate gold-silver company with increased market capitalization with a resulting increase in trading liquidity, gold and silver production, mineral resources, financial strength, and an attractive portfolio of exploration properties.

The Arrangement will be effected by way of a plan of arrangement pursuant to Section 182 of the OBCA. Under the Arrangement, all issued and outstanding Common Shares and Mexgold Options (other than Common Shares held by Gammon Lake) will be deemed transferred to Gammon Lake in exchange for Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options on the basis of 0.47 Gammon Lake Common Shares for each Common Share (rounded up if the fractional interest is 0.5 or more, and rounded down if the fractional interest is less than 0.5), and Gammon Lake Options exercisable for that number of Gammon Lake Common Shares that is equal to the number of Common Shares that would otherwise have been issuable upon the exercise of the Mexgold Options multiplied by 0.47 (rounded down to the nearest whole Gammon Lake Common Share) at an exercise price per Gammon Lake Common Share equal to the exercise price of the applicable Mexgold Option divided by 0.47. The Arrangement is subject to a number of terms and conditions described below under "Details of the Arrangement Agreement".

The Mexgold Warrants contain standard adjustment provisions as a result of which, upon the completion of the Arrangement, each Mexgold Warrant will entitle its holder to acquire 0.47 Gammon Lake Common Shares for every Mexgold Common Share that would otherwise have been issuable upon the exercise of the Mexgold Warrants, at an exercise price per Gammon Lake Common Share equal to the exercise price of the Mexgold Warrants divided by 0.47. Accordingly, Mexgold Warrants are not included in the Arrangement. As of June 28, 2006 there were 396,000 Mexgold Warrants outstanding, all of which were held by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, former shareholders of Mexgold (other than Gammon Lake) are expected to own approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Gammon Lake on a non-diluted basis.

The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the Shareholders and the Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting voting together as a single class, with Optionholders having one vote for each common share they would be entitled to have issued to them if their stock options were fully exercised. Since the Arrangement is a "business combination" and a "related party transaction" for Mexgold under Rule 61-501, (a) the Arrangement must also be approved by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by holders of Mexgold Common Shares other than Gammon Lake and certain persons related to Gammon Lake (see "Approvals and Recommendations - Required Approvals", below); and (b) Mexgold has obtained a valuation of the Common Shares and the consideration to be received by the Shareholders under the Arrangement. Mexgold has also obtained a fairness opinion regarding the consideration to be received by the Shareholders under the Arrangement (see "Valuation and Fairness Opinion", below). A copy of the Valuation and of the Fairness Opinion is enclosed as Schedule C to the Circular.

Management of Gammon Lake have prepared the Pro Forma Financial Statements to show the financial effects of the proposed combination (see "Selected Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Information"). Gammon Lake’s auditors, KPMG LLP, have prepared a compilation report for the Pro Forma Financial Statements. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are attached to this Circular as Schedule G.

Additional information on regulatory and tax considerations relating to the Arrangement is provided under "Qualification and Resale of Gammon Lake Common Shares", "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations", "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Mexican Federal Income Tax Considerations", below. Information on Gammon Lake is provided in Schedule H - "Information Concerning Gammon Lake".

Benefits of the Arrangement

Both Mexgold and Gammon Lake have been active in the exploration and development of gold and silver mineral properties in Mexico. The purpose of the Arrangement is to facilitate the acquisition by Gammon Lake of all of the outstanding securities of Mexgold such that Mexgold will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gammon Lake. It is expected that the combined entity will be better able to compete in the capital intensive global mining and metal processing businesses than either of its predecessors. The Arrangement is expected to provide the following advantages:

  • Increased Market Capitalization: The Arrangement will create a new intermediate gold-silver company with an increased market capitalization, which will enhance its ability to compete for mineral projects and will result in increased trading liquidity.  
     

  • Enhanced Production: The combined entity will have interests in two producing properties with estimated annual production of more than 400,000 gold equivalent ounces (235,600 ounces of gold and 10,500,000 ounces of silver), and be free of hedging.
     

  • Decreased Dependence on Single Asset: Having interests in more than one producing property will mitigate the operational risks inherent in a single-mine company.
     

  • Low Cash Cost: The combined entity is expected to have cash costs of well below US$200 per gold equivalent ounce.
     

  • Increased Mineral Resources: Based on current estimates, the combined entity will have measured and indicated resources of more than 6.0-million gold equivalent ounces (3.5-million ounces of gold and 165-million ounces of silver) and additional inferred resources of more than 9.0 million gold equivalent ounces (4.9-million ounces of gold and 249-million ounces of silver). Included within the measured and indicated resources are proven and probable reserves of more than 5.0-million gold equivalent ounces (2.8-million ounces of gold and 137-million ounces of silver). (Note that Mexgold and Gammon Lake use slightly different gold / silver ratios when calculating gold equivalent ounces. For the estimate of the mineral resources and reserves of Gammon Lake, please refer to section 3.8 of Gammon Lake’s annual information form dated March 31, 2006 for the five months ended December 31, 2006. For the estimate of the mineral resources and reserves of Mexgold, please refer to the tables set out under "Mineral Properties - El Cubo and Las Torres Gold-Silver Mines - Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves" and "Mineral Properties - Guadalupe y Calvo - Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves" in Schedule I - Information Concerning Mexgold Resources Inc.).
     

  • Growth Potential: The combined entity will have an attractive exploration land package.
     

  • Retained Leverage to Mexgold Assets: Shareholders will continue to participate in Mexgold's existing assets following the Arrangement, in addition to having an opportunity to participate in Gammon Lake’s Ocampo project, through their ownership of Gammon Lake Common Shares.
     

  • Financial Strength: The combined entity will be well positioned for internal growth and to accelerate the exploration and development of its exploration and development properties, and will have the financial strength to take advantage of acquisition and consolidation opportunities.

Effective Date

Mexgold and Gammon Lake will determine the Effective Date based on their determination of when all conditions to the completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, including the approval of the Arrangement by the Securityholders and Minority Shareholders at the Meeting, receipt of regulatory approvals and the issuing of the Final Order. Notice of the actual Effective Date will be given to Shareholders through a press release when all conditions to the Arrangement have been met or waived and the Board of Directors is of the view that all elements of the Arrangement will be completed. Management of Mexgold currently anticipates that the Effective Date will be August 4, 2006.

Background to the Arrangement and Special Committee Deliberations

In December 2002, Gammon Lake acquired 5,000,000 Common Shares of Mexgold for a purchase price of $500,000. Subsequent to this investment, Mexgold completed a reverse take-over transaction whereupon its common shares were listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol, "MGR". As a result of these transactions, Gammon Lake held 25% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Pursuant to an agreement with Mexgold, Gammon Lake agreed to hold these shares until August 20, 2009, and, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey these shares, directly, indirectly or beneficially, prior to that time without the prior written consent of Mexgold.

On February 26, 2004, to maintain its 25% interest in Mexgold, Gammon Lake acquired 5,900,000 million subscription receipts of Mexgold for a total investment of $11,800,000, as part of a private placement by Mexgold of 22,500,000 subscription receipts for gross proceeds of $45,000,000. The private placement was done to finance the acquisition by Mexgold of the El Cubo gold-silver mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico. The acquisition was completed on March 15, 2004, and the subscription receipts held by Gammon Lake were converted into 5,900,000 Common Shares and 2,950,000 warrants of Mexgold.

On February 26, 2006, Gammon Lake acquired an additional 2,950,000 Common Shares upon the exercise of the 2,950,000 Mexgold warrants it held, at a total exercise price of $7,375,000. Gammon Lake currently owns a total of 13,850,000 Common Shares representing approximately 23% of Mexgold's issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis.

Mexgold and Gammon Lake have certain common directors and officers and share head office premises and other general and administrative expenses. In particular, Mexgold and Gammon Lake share the same senior management: Bradley H. Langille is President of Mexgold and Chief Executive Officer of Gammon Lake, and Collin P. Sutherland is the Chief Financial Officer of both companies. Three members of the board of directors of Mexgold, Messrs. Langille and Sutherland and Dale M. Hendrick, are also directors of Gammon Lake.

Preliminary discussions regarding a possible business combination involving Gammon Lake and Mexgold began in the autumn of 2005, when Fred George, Chairman and President of Gammon Lake, and Mr. Langille began to consider the merits of combining Gammon Lake and Mexgold to create an intermediate gold-silver producer. Based on these preliminary discussions, the concept of a business combination was determined to be worthy of further consideration and Gammon Lake advised Mexgold that it was considering making a proposal to Mexgold to combine the two companies.

On November 28, 2005, the Board of Directors appointed the Special Committee to review, and give advice to the Board of Directors with respect to, a potential combination of Gammon Lake and Mexgold. The Special Committee was comprised of Glen Holmes, as Chair, James Awkar and Donald Flemming, each of whom is an independent director within the meaning of Rule 61-501. The Special Committee was authorized to negotiate any proposal received from Gammon Lake on behalf of Mexgold and determine whether the Arrangement is in the best interests of Mexgold, and to advise the Board of Directors of its determination. The Special Committee was also authorized to make such recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the Arrangement as the Special Committee considered necessary or appropriate, to review and comment upon all documents prepared in connection with the Arrangement and if the Arrangement was approved, to oversee the implementation of the Arrangement. The Special Committee was also authorized to engage such legal counsel and financial and other advisors as it considered appropriate.

In January 2006, the Special Committee, in consultation with the management of Mexgold, determined that it would be appropriate to retain a technical consultant to provide support to the Special Committee and its financial advisor. On January 25, 2006, the Special Committee considered a proposal from L.R. Kilpatrick Associates Inc. to provide a technical update on Mexgold’s mineral projects to the Special Committee and considered the selection of appropriate independent legal counsel. The Special Committee also considered the potential synergies and the merits of a combination of Mexgold and Gammon Lake.

On January 30, 2006, the Special Committee met with Cassels Brock and determined that Cassels Brock would be a qualified and independent legal counsel to assist the Special Committee in discharging its responsibilities and to provide the Special Committee with advice concerning its duties and the conduct of its affairs. After discussion, including a review of the qualifications of Cassels Brock, the Special Committee approved the appointment of Cassels


- 26 -

Brock as independent legal counsel. Cassels Brock advised the Special Committee that the Arrangement would constitute a "business combination" and a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Rule 61-501. Cassels Brock proceeded to advise the Special Committee on its roles and responsibilities in supervising the preparation of a formal valuation and negotiating, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors in connection with a potential transaction with Gammon Lake. In accordance with Rule 61-501, the Special Committee determined that it would supervise and oversee the preparation of a formal valuation of the Common Shares and the consideration to be received by the Shareholders under the Arrangement. As required by Rule 61-501, the Arrangement would be subject to approval by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by Minority Shareholders. The Special Committee began consideration of potential independent financial advisors and resolved to retain L.R. Kilpatrick Associates Inc. to conduct a technical update on the El Cubo gold-silver mine and the Guadalupe y Calvo project;

In February and March 2006, the members of the Special Committee and its representatives considered and evaluated proposals from independent financial advisors.

On March 17, 2006, the Special Committee received a verbal report to the Special Committee from L.R. Kilpatrick Associates Inc. on the El Cubo gold-silver mine and the Guadalupe y Calvo project. The Special Committee further considered potential synergies of a combination with Gammon Lake.

On April 7, 2006, the Special Committee determined it was appropriate to provide the report of L.R. Kilpatrick Associates Inc. to its financial advisor and discussed the terms of the engagement of TD Securities.

On March 16, 2006, the Special Committee engaged TD Securities to provide the Valuation and Fairness Opinion. The Special Committee, based in part on representations made to it by TD Securities, concluded that TD Securities was independent of Gammon Lake and qualified as an independent valuator for the purposes of Rule 61-501.

On April 21, 2006, the Special Committee met with TD Securities and discussed the process of the preparation of the Valuation and Fairness Opinion. During the week of April 24, 2006, representatives of TD Securities conducted site visits to the El Cubo gold-silver mine and the Guadalupe y Calvo project.

On May 4, 2006, the Special Committee received a preliminary report from TD Securities on a preliminary range of values of the Common Shares and reviewed with TD Securities observations of TD Securities from site visits to the El Cubo gold-silver mine and the Guadalupe y Calvo project. The members of the Special Committee discussed with TD Securities its methodologies and the assumptions and projections underlying certain of its analysis. After that meeting, the Special Committee, TD Securities and Cassels Brock met with the management of Gammon Lake and Gammon Lake's legal and financial advisors to discuss Gammon Lake's initial proposals for the business combination. The meeting was terminated without any agreement having been reached.

During the week of May 22, 2006, representatives of TD Securities conducted a site visit of Gammon Lake’s Ocampo development project in Mexico.

On May 18, 2006, the Special Committee met with TD Securities and Cassels Brock to receive an update on the Valuation. TD Securities indicated that the additional work generally confirmed the preliminary range of values of the Common Shares provided to the Special Committee. TD Securities also provided its preliminary analysis of the range of values for the consideration to be received by the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake). After that meeting, the Special Committee, TD Securities and Cassels Brock met with the management of Gammon Lake and Gammon Lake's legal and financial advisors to discuss the proposed business combination. Again, the meeting was terminated without any agreement having been reached.

Between May 18 and May 26, 2006, the members of the Special Committee and their representatives held discussions on several occasions and exchanged drafts of the Pre-Arrangement Agreement.

On May 26, 2006, Mexgold and Gammon Lake reached agreement on the basic terms and conditions, other than the Exchange Ratio, which would form the basis for the Pre-Arrangement Agreement. The Special Committee met with TD Securities and Cassels Brock to receive an update on the Valuation and to discuss the terms of the Pre-Arrangement Agreement. Between May 26 and 28, the terms of the Pre-Arrangement Agreement were negotiated by Mexgold and Gammon Lake.


- 27 -

On May 28, 2006, the Special Committee met to consider the Pre-Arrangement Agreement. The Special Committee considered whether any alternative transactions were likely available to Mexgold in light of the ownership position of Gammon Lake in Mexgold, the common management of both companies and the intention of Gammon Lake to effect a business combination of the two companies. At the request of the Special Committee, TD Securities verbally delivered the Valuation and Fairness Opinion. Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, analyses and other matters set forth in the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities concluded that, as of May 28, 2006, the fair market value of a Common Share is in the range of $6.50 to $8.00 and that the market trading value of the consideration of 0.47 of a Gammon Lake Common Share for each Common Share is in the range of $6.75 to $8.25 per Common Share. Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, analyses and other matters set forth in the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities concluded that, as of May 28, 2006, the consideration to be received by the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake) in connection with the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders. TD Securities subsequently confirmed the Valuation and Fairness Opinion to the Special Committee in writing, the content of which is included in the letter attached as Schedule C to this Circular. Based on such advice and its review of other relevant factors, the Special Committee concluded that the Arrangement is fair to the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake) and is in the best interests of Mexgold. Accordingly, the Special Committee recommended that the Board of Directors approve the Arrangement and recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting. On May 28, 2006, the Board of Directors received a report from the Special Committee. Messrs. Langille, Sutherland and Hendrick advised the Board of Directors of their interest in the Arrangement and abstained from voting in respect of the Arrangement. The Board of Directors then unanimously approved the execution of the Pre-Arrangement Agreement and recommended that Shareholders vote for the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting.

On May 28, 2006, Mexgold and Gammon Lake entered into the Pre-Arrangement Agreement and on May 29, 2006, Mexgold and Gammon Lake publicly announced the proposed Arrangement by a joint press release.

From May 29, 2006 to June 22, 2006, Mexgold conducted confirmatory legal due diligence of Gammon Lake. From June 13, 2006 to June 22, 2006, Gammon Lake, Mexgold, the Special Committee and their respective legal advisors negotiated the terms and exchanged drafts of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement.

On June 22, 2006, the Special Committee recommended that the Board of Directors approve the Arrangement Agreement and affirmed its recommendation that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting. Also on June 22, 2006, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the Arrangement Agreement and affirmed its recommendation that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting.

On June 22, 2006, Mexgold and Gammon Lake executed the Arrangement Agreement and issued a press release announcing the execution. A summary of the key terms of the Arrangement Agreement is provided under "Details of the Agreement" below. A copy of the Arrangement Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule B.

On June 27, 2006 Mexgold obtained the Interim Order from the Court directing Mexgold to call a meeting of the Shareholders and the Optionholders to approve the Arrangement, to send this Circular to the Shareholders and the Optionholders, and to grant to the Shareholders a right to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution and to be paid the fair value of their Common Shares identical to the dissent right provided under section 185 of the OBCA. See "Rights of Dissent".

Special Committee Review

During the course of its deliberations and in arriving at its recommendation, the Special Committee reviewed, considered and discussed numerous factors in connection with the proposed Arrangement, including but not limited to:

(a)    information concerning the business, operations, property, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospects of each of Mexgold and Gammon Lake;

(b)    historical information regarding the trading prices and volumes of the Common Shares and Gammon Lake Common Shares;

(c)    historical information and industry forecasts regarding the prices and price trends of gold and silver;


- 28 -

(d)    current and prospective industry, economic and market conditions and trends affecting Mexgold and Gammon Lake;

(e)    the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, which concluded that, as of May 28, 2006, (i) the fair market value of a Common Share is in the range of $6.50 to $8.00 and that the market trading value of the consideration of 0.47 of a Gammon Lake Common Share for each Common Share is in the range of $6.75 to $8.25 per Common Share, and (ii) the consideration to be received by the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake) in connection with the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders;

(f)     the expected benefits of the Arrangement;

(g)    the elements of the transaction that provide protection to the Shareholders;

(h)    the risks associated with the completion of the Arrangement, and the risks associated with not completing the Arrangement;

(i)     the terms of the Arrangement implied a value of $7.49 per Common Share to Shareholders, representing a 21% premium, in both cases based on the 20-day volume weighted average prices of Gammon Lake and Mexgold common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, respectively, for the period ending May 26, 2006 (the last trading day before the Arrangement was announced), and an implied value of $6.67 per Common Share, representing a 17% premium, in both cases based on the closing prices on May 26, 2006;

(j)     Gammon Lake Common Shares have greater liquidity than do the Common Shares;

(k)   given the significance of Gammon Lake’s shareholding position in Mexgold, the likelihood of an alternative transaction materializing which would enable the Minority Shareholders to sell all of their Common Shares at a substantial premium;

(l)    the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, particularly the absence of a break fee or termination fee other than the reimbursement of expenses, do not prevent or unreasonably deter an unsolicited third party from proposing or making, and the Board of Directors from accepting, a Superior Proposal, provided that Mexgold complies with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement;

(m)   ownership of Gammon Lake Common Shares acquired under the Arrangement will provide Minority Shareholders with the opportunity for continued participation in the business of Mexgold, while at the same time enjoying diversification of their investment by participation in Gammon Lake’s business;

(n)   for Canadian federal income tax purposes, Shareholders who hold their Common Shares as capital property generally will be able to exchange their Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares under the Arrangement on a tax-deferred basis under the ITA (see "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations");

(o)   the combined entity which results from the Arrangement would have significantly greater financial and business resources, which may provide it with greater prospects for future growth than those of Mexgold alone; and

(p)   the combined entity may be able to achieve operational synergies.

In its review of the proposed terms of the Arrangement, the Special Committee also noted a number of elements of the transaction that provide protection to the Shareholders:

(a)    the Arrangement must be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the Shareholders and the Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting voting together as a single class, with Optionholders having one vote for each common share they would be entitled to have issued to them if their stock options were fully exercised;


- 29 -

(b)    pursuant to Rule 61-501, the Arrangement must also be approved by a majority of the votes cast by the Minority Shareholders;

(c)    the Arrangement will only become effective if, after hearing from all interested persons who choose to appear before it, the Court determines that the Arrangement is fair to the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake); and

(d)    Shareholders will be granted the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement and be paid the fair value of their Common Shares.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by the Special Committee is not intended to be exhaustive but is believed to include all material factors considered by the Special Committee. In addition, in reaching its determination, the Special Committee did not assign any relative or specific weights to the foregoing factors which were considered, and individual members of the Special Committee may have given different weights to different factors. The members of the Special Committee in attendance at the relevant meeting were unanimous in their recommendation to the Board of Directors.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

After considering the report of the Special Committee and the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, the Board of Directors adopted the Special Committee's recommendation, concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Mexgold and is fair to the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake) and authorized the entry by Mexgold into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. Messrs. Langille, Sutherland and Hendrick advised the Board of Directors of their interest in the Arrangement and abstained from voting in respect of the Arrangement. The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement and unanimously recommends that the Mexgold Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting.

In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendations, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, the expected benefits of the Arrangement, the risks associated with completing the Arrangement as well as the factors listed above considered by the Special Committee.

The discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by the Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to include all material factors considered by the Board of Directors. In reaching the determination to approve and recommend the Arrangement Resolution, the Board of Directors did not assign any relative or specific weight to the factors that were considered, and individual directors may have given a different weight to each factor.

DETAILS OF THE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT

The following description of the Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, which is included as Schedule 1 to the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Schedule B to this Circular.

On the Effective Date, the following steps will occur as an arrangement as contemplated in Section 182 of the OBCA, beginning at the Effective Time, one immediately after the other:

(a)    Each issued and outstanding Common Share (other than Common Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders or Gammon Lake) will be exchanged for Gammon Lake Common Shares on the basis of 0.47 Gammon Lake Common Shares for each Common Share held and each such Common Share will thereafter be irrevocably transferred to Gammon Lake; provided, however, that no fractional Gammon Lake Common Shares will be issued to any Shareholder and the number of Gammon Lake Common Shares issuable to each Shareholder on the completion of the Arrangement will be rounded up (if the fractional interest is 0.5 or more) or down (if the fractional interest is less than 0.5) to the nearest whole number of Gammon Lake Common Shares.

(b)    Each Common Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder will be deemed to be transferred to Mexgold and will be immediately cancelled, and such Dissenting Shareholder will cease to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of his or her Common Shares. See "Rights of Dissent".

(c)   Each outstanding Mexgold Option will be exchanged for a Gammon Lake Option and the Mexgold Option will be cancelled, with each Gammon Lake Option being exercisable for that number of Gammon Lake Common Shares that is equal to the number of Common Shares that would otherwise have been issuable upon the exercise of the Mexgold Option multiplied by 0.47 (rounded down to the nearest whole Gammon Lake Common Share) at an exercise price per Gammon Lake Common Share equal to the exercise price of the applicable Mexgold Option divided by 0.47, provided that such Gammon Lake Option will expire on the date on which the respective Mexgold Option was to expire pursuant to its terms.

Covenants of Mexgold

Mexgold has agreed in the Arrangement Agreement that it will, among other things, subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors, recommend to the Shareholders and the Minority Shareholders that they approve the Arrangement and solicit proxies to that effect.

Representations and Warranties

The Arrangement Agreement contains representations and warranties of each Party relating to matters that include, among others: incorporation and existence of the Party and its subsidiaries; ownership of the subsidiaries; capacity to carry on business; authorized and issued share capital and rights to acquire shares; accuracy of financial statements, public disclosure documents and minute books and corporate records; authority to enter into the Arrangement Agreement; absence of certain changes or events; tax matters; litigation matters; environmental matters; reporting issuer status; stock exchange listing status; compliance with laws and absence of investigations; title to material properties; estimates of mineral resources and reserves; and possession of necessary permits and licences.


The Arrangement Agreement also contains representations and warranties of Gammon Lake relating to: accuracy of the information supplied by Gammon Lake for the Circular; ownership of Common Shares by Gammon Lake; ownership of Common Shares and Mexgold Options by insiders of Gammon Lake; and valid issuance of Gammon Lake Common Shares under the Arrangement and on the exercise of Gammon Lake Options.

Non-Solicitation

In the Arrangement Agreement, Mexgold agreed that it will not and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, advisor, representative or agent, (a) solicit, initiate, facilitate, engage in or respond to or encourage (including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) any Acquisition Proposal; (b) encourage or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal; (c) accept, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal; or (d) cause Mexgold or any subsidiary to enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding related to any Acquisition Proposal. However, the Board of Directors may consider, negotiate, approve or recommend to the Shareholders an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal which the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable laws, would, if consummated in accordance with its terms, result in a Superior Proposal.

Mexgold has also agreed that it will not accept any Superior Proposal without first providing Gammon Lake with an opportunity to amend the Arrangement Agreement to provide for increased consideration. Mexgold will provide Gammon Lake with a copy of any Superior Proposal not less than five business days prior to its proposed execution by Mexgold. If Gammon Lake agrees to amend the Arrangement Agreement within such five business day period, such that in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors in the exercise of its fiduciary duties the Superior Proposal is no longer a Superior Proposal, then Mexgold will not enter into the Superior Proposal and will agree to the amendments to the Arrangement Agreement proposed by Gammon Lake. If the Board of Directors determines that the Superior Proposal is still a Superior Proposal, then Mexgold may terminate the Arrangement Agreement, reimburse Gammon Lake for its expenses, and only then enter into the Superior Proposal.

Termination

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated in customary circumstances such as by mutual consent, for breach of representations, warranties or covenants not cured within a given period of time, or if certain conditions precedent are not satisfied or waived by the Effective Date, as well as in the following circumstances:

(a)   by either party upon the determination by Mexgold that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, if Mexgold complies with the procedures in the Arrangement Agreement and the time period for Gammon Lake to propose an amendment to the Arrangement Agreement has elapsed;

(b)   by Gammon Lake, if the Board of Directors has withdrawn or changed its recommendation to the Shareholders in a manner adverse to Gammon Lake or which would impede the completion of the Arrangement, has made a recommendation to the Securityholders not to accept or approve the Arrangement, has not submitted the Arrangement for approval to the Securityholders on or prior to August 4, 2006 (or such later date as the parties may agree upon) or has failed to solicit proxies in favour of approving the Arrangement; or

(c)    the approval of the Securityholders (including the Minority Shareholders) for the Arrangement is not obtained in accordance with applicable laws.

Expenses

If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by either party because Mexgold has accepted a Superior Proposal, or because the Board of Directors has withdrawn its recommendation to the Securityholders to approve the Arrangement, Mexgold must reimburse Gammon Lake for all reasonable expenses incurred by Gammon Lake in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement. Each party must reimburse the other party for all reasonable


- 33 -

expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by the other party because of a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of the first party.

Except as set out above, each of Mexgold and Gammon Lake will be responsible for and bear all of its own expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement Agreement and the transactions contemplated in it.

VALUATION AND FAIRNESS OPINION

The following is a summary only of the Valuation and Fairness Opinion. This summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the Valuation and Fairness Opinion attached as Schedule C to this Circular. The Valuation and Fairness Opinion, among other things, sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by TD Securities. TD Securities has prepared and provided its opinions solely for the use of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors in evaluating the Arrangement and they are not to be used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without the express prior written consent of TD Securities. TD Securities expresses no opinion with respect to future trading prices of securities of Mexgold or Gammon Lake and makes no recommendation to securityholders of Mexgold with respect to the Arrangement. TD Securities has based the Valuation and Fairness Opinion upon a variety of factors. The preparation of a valuation or fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily amenable to partial analysis or summary description. TD Securities believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying the Valuation and/or Fairness Opinion. Shareholders are urged to read the Valuation and Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

TD Securities was engaged by the Special Committee on March 16, 2006 pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, to prepare and deliver to the Special Committee the Valuation and Fairness Opinion. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide for the payment to TD Securities of a fee of $500,000 for its services, reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and customary indemnification.

TD Securities is a Canadian investment banking firm with operations in a broad range of investment banking activities, including corporate and government finance, mergers and acquisitions, equity and fixed income sales and trading, investment management and investment research. TD Securities has participated in a significant number of transactions involving public and private companies and has extensive experience in preparing valuations and fairness opinions.

Neither TD Securities nor any of its affiliated entities is an associated or affiliated entity or issuer insider (as those terms are used in Rule 61-501) of Mexgold, Gammon Lake or any other interested party (as that term is used in Rule 61-501) in connection with the Arrangement.

The fees paid to TD Securities in connection with the Engagement Agreement do not give TD Securities any financial incentive in respect of the conclusions reached in the Valuation or Fairness Opinion and TD Securities has no material financial interest in the completion of the Arrangement. No understandings or agreements exist between TD Securities and Mexgold, Gammon Lake or other interested parties in the Arrangement with respect to future financial advisory or investment banking business. TD Securities may in the future, in the ordinary course of its business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services for Mexgold, Gammon Lake or other interested parties in the Arrangement. The Toronto-Dominion Bank, the parent company of TD Securities, may provide credit facilities or other banking services to Mexgold, Gammon Lake or other interested parties in the Arrangement from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

TD Securities acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have and may in the future have positions in the securities of any interested party in the Arrangement and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or other clients for which it may have received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, TD Securities conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including matters with respect to the Arrangement, Mexgold, Gammon Lake, or other interested parties in the Arrangement.


- 34 -

In connection with the preparation of the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities, among other things, reviewed information provided by Mexgold and Gammon Lake, met with senior management of Mexgold and Gammon Lake and conducted other investigative exercises as more specifically described in the Valuation and Fairness Opinion. TD Securities has relied upon the accuracy, completeness and fair presentation of all data and other information obtained by it from public sources, provided to it by or on behalf of Mexgold, provided to it by or on behalf of Gammon Lake, or otherwise obtained by TD Securities, including the certificates referred to below (collectively, the "Information"). The Valuation and Fairness Opinion are conditional upon such accuracy, completeness and fair presentation. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment, and except as expressly described in the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities has not attempted to verify independently the accuracy, completeness or fair presentation of any of the Information. With respect to the budgets, forecasts, projections or estimates provided to TD Securities and used in its analyses, TD Securities noted that projecting future results is inherently subject to uncertainty. TD Securities has assumed, however, that such budgets, forecasts, projections and estimates were prepared using the assumptions identified therein which TD Securities has been advised are (or were at the time of preparation and continue to be), in the opinion of Mexgold or Gammon Lake, as applicable, reasonable in the circumstances.

TD Securities has relied upon, among other things, the representations contained in certificates of senior officers of Mexgold and Gammon Lake as to, among other things, the accuracy and completeness of information upon which the Valuation and Fairness Opinion are based.

In preparing the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities has made several assumptions, including that all final or executed versions of documents will conform in all material respects to the drafts provided to TD Securities, conditions precedent to the completion of the Arrangement can be satisfied in due course, all consents, permissions, exemptions or orders of relevant regulatory authorities or third parties will be obtained, without adverse condition or qualification, the procedures being followed to implement the Arrangement are valid and effective, the Circular will be distributed to the Shareholders and Optionholders in accordance with all applicable laws, and the disclosure in the Circular will be accurate, in all material respects, and will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of all applicable laws. In its analysis in connection with the preparation of the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of TD Securities, Mexgold, Gammon Lake or their respective affiliates. Among other things, TD Securities has assumed the accuracy, completeness and fair representation of and has relied upon the financial statements forming part of the Information.

The Valuation and Fairness Opinion are rendered as of May 28, 2006, on the basis of securities markets, economic and general business and financial conditions prevailing on that date and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of Mexgold and Gammon Lake and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates as they were reflected in the Information. Any changes therein may affect the Valuation and Fairness Opinion and, although TD Securities reserves the right to change or withdraw the Valuation and Fairness Opinion in such event, it disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any such change that may come to its attention, or update the Valuation and Fairness Opinion after such date.

TD Securities determined the fair market value of the Common Shares as part of the Valuation. For purposes of the Valuation, fair market value is defined as the monetary consideration that, in an open and unrestricted market, a prudent and informed buyer would pay a prudent and informed seller, each acting at arm’s length with the other and under no compulsion to act. In accordance with Rule 61-501, TD Securities has made no downward adjustment to the fair market value of the Common Shares to reflect the liquidity of the Common Shares, the effect of the Arrangement, or the fact that the Common Shares held by individual holders do not form part of a controlling interest. Values determined on the foregoing basis represent "en bloc" values, that is, values that an acquirer of 100% of the Common Shares would be expected to pay in an open auction of Mexgold.

Rule 61-501 requires that a formal valuation include a valuation of any non-cash consideration being offered as part of the transaction subject to Rule 61-501, except in certain circumstances outlined in Rule 61-501. TD Securities has therefore included a valuation of the consideration to be received by the Shareholders under the Arrangement (the "Consideration") as part of the Valuation. TD Securities believes that it is appropriate in the circumstances to determine, and therefore has determined, the market trading value of the Consideration.

The Valuation and Fairness Opinion are the opinions of TD Securities and their form and content have been approved by a committee of senior investment banking professionals of TD Securities, each of whom is experienced in merger,


- 35 -

acquisition, divestiture, valuation and fairness opinion matters. The Valuation is based upon techniques and assumptions that TD Securities considered appropriate in the circumstances for the purposes of arriving at an opinion as to the range of fair market value of the Common Shares.

The Valuation and Fairness Opinion have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Standards for Formal Valuations and Fairness Opinions of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada (the "Association") but the Association has not been involved in the preparation or review of the Valuation and Fairness Opinion.

Valuation Methodologies

For purposes of determining the fair market value of the Common Shares and the market trading value of the Consideration, TD Securities relied primarily upon four methodologies: net asset value ("NAV") analysis; discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis; comparable precedent transactions analysis; and market trading multiples analysis. TD Securities placed greatest emphasis on the NAV analysis for the reasons expressed in the Valuation.

Valuation Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, analyses and other matters set forth in the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities is of the opinion that, as of May 28, 2006, the fair market value of a Common Share is in the range of $6.50 to $8.00. Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, analyses and other matters set forth in the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, TD Securities is of the opinion that, as of May 28, 2006, the market trading value of the Consideration is in the range of $6.75 to $8.25 per Common Share.

Fairness Opinion

In considering the fairness of the Consideration to be received by the Minority Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement, TD Securities principally considered and relied upon:

(a)   a comparison of the market trading value of the Consideration to the fair market value of the Common Shares as determined in the Valuation;

(b)   a comparison of the premiums implied by the Consideration to the trading prices of the Common Shares prior to announcement of the Arrangement to the premiums implied by selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions; and

(c)   a comparison of the premiums implied by the Exchange Ratio to the trading exchange ratio of the Common Shares and the Gammon Lake Common Shares prior to announcement of the Arrangement to the premiums implied by selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions.

Fairness Opinion Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, analyses and other matters set forth in the Valuation, TD Securities is of the opinion that, as of May 28, 2006, the consideration of 0.47 of a Gammon Lake Common Share for each Common Share to be received by the Shareholders (other than Gammon Lake) in connection with the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders.

The complete text of the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the scope of TD Securities’ review and the assumptions, limitations, and analyses relied upon by TD Securities in preparing the Valuation and Fairness Opinion, is attached as Schedule C to this Circular. Shareholders are urged to read the Valuation and Fairness Opinion carefully and in its entirety.

EFFECTS OF THE ARRANGEMENT

Corporate Structure

Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Mexgold will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gammon Lake. The following diagram depicts the anticipated organizational structure of Gammon Lake and its significant subsidiaries upon the completion of the Arrangement, and the location of the material properties in the structure.

(1) 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Gammon Lake Mexico S.A. de C.V. are held by Gammon Lake directly in accordance with Mexican corporate law requirements.

Business and Properties

Following the Arrangement, Gammon Lake intends to continue the business currently carried on by it and Mexgold, namely:

(a)   the exploration, development and exploitation of Gammon Lake’s mineral interests in its Ocampo gold-silver mine and exploration property (comprising an operating underground and open pit mine and additional exploration concessions) in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, details of which are provided in the Annual Information Form of Gammon Lake for the five months ended December 31, 2005 and which is incorporated by reference into this Circular;

(b)   the exploration, development and exploitation of Mexgold’s mineral interests in its El Cubo gold-silver mine and exploration property (comprising an operating multi-level underground mine and additional exploration concessions) in the Guanajuato State, Mexico, details of which are provided in Schedule I - "Information Concerning Mexgold";

(c)   the exploration, development and exploitation of the Las Torres gold-silver mine (comprising four working mines) in Guanajuato State, Mexico, pursuant to a mining lease agreement between Mexgold’s subsidiary, Compania Minera del Cubo S.A. de C.V. and Compania Minera Las Torres, S.A. de C.V., details of which are provided in Schedule I - "Information Concerning Mexgold Resources Inc.", below; and


- 37 -

(d)   the exploration and development and exploitation of Mexgold’s mineral interests in its Guadalupe y Calvo Gold-Silver Project (comprising a total of 4 concessions encompassing approximately 436 hectares) in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, details of which are provided in Schedule I - "Information Concerning Mexgold", below.

Authorized and Issued Share Capital

It is anticipated that Gammon Lake will issue approximately 21,786,333 Gammon Lake Common Shares, and Gammon Lake Options exercisable to acquire up to an aggregate of 5,564,696 Gammon Lake Common Shares to the Shareholders and holders of Mexgold Options on the completion of the Arrangement, respectively. In addition, the completion of the Arrangement will trigger adjustment provisions under the terms of the Mexgold Warrants, so that the Mexgold Warrants will be exercisable to acquire up to an aggregate of 186,120 Gammon Lake Common Shares. Immediately following the Arrangement and the adjustment of the Mexgold Warrants, the holders of the issued and outstanding securities of Mexgold (other than Gammon Lake) will hold approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding Gammon Lake Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis; 23.6% on a fully-diluted basis).

Assuming the completion of the Arrangement, the issued and outstanding share capital of Gammon Lake following the Arrangement will be held as follows (the percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding):

Fully-Diluted Share Capital of Gammon Lake Following the Arrangement
  Number of Number of Gammon Lake Fully Diluted

(1)     Assuming that all Gammon Lake Convertible Securities are exercised.
(2)      For the post-Arrangement holdings in Gammon Lake, these are the directors and officers of Gammon Lake who also hold Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options, namely Fred George, Dale M. Hendrick, Bradley H. Langille, Colin Sutherland and John C. Thornton. The numbers given above include the Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Convertible Securities held by such persons on June 28, 2006.

Principal Holders of Securities

Upon the completion of the Arrangement, it is anticipated that no person or company will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over common shares of Gammon Lake carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding securities of Gammon Lake.

Management

Following the completion of the Arrangement, Gammon Lake will determine: (a) which personnel of Mexgold will be appointed or retained upon the completion of the Arrangement; and (b) which directors, officer, employees, consultants and other personnel of Mexgold will be maintained or retained subsequent to the Arrangement. It is expected that the


- 38 -

key employees of Mexgold will remain with the company. It is expected that the board of directors and senior officers of Gammon Lake will remain unchanged. For details on the current board of directors and senior officers of Gammon Lake, please refer to the Annual Information Form of Gammon Lake dated March 31, 2006 for the five months ended December 31, 2005 and the management information circular of Gammon Lake dated April 13, 2006, which are available under the profile of Gammon Lake on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and which are incorporated by reference into this Circular.

Listing of Securities

Subject to TSX and AMEX approval, the Gammon Lake Common Shares will be listed for trading on the TSX under the trading symbol "GAM" and on the AMEX under the trading symbol "GRS". As Mexgold will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gammon Lake, the Common Shares will be delisted from the TSXV following the completion of the Arrangement.

Change of Corporate Statute

The Arrangement will result in the Shareholders ceasing to be shareholders of Mexgold, a corporation governed by the OBCA, and becoming shareholders of Gammon Lake, a corporation governed by the QCA. As a result, the rights of the Shareholders after the completion of the Arrangement will be governed by the QCA.

While the QCA is substantially similar to the OBCA, Shareholders should note the following material differences:

(a)   while section 248 of the OBCA allows shareholders of a corporation to apply to the court for a wide range of orders to relieve oppressive or unfairly prejudicial acts, omissions or conduct of the corporation, its affiliates or its directors, the QCA has no such provision;

(b)   while the OBCA requires a majority of the board of directors of a corporation to be resident Canadians, the QCA has no such requirement;

(c)   while the OBCA contains provisions for class vote of shareholders in certain circumstances, the QCA (unless provided for in articles of the corporation) has no such requirement;

(d)   while the OBCA allows a shareholder to dissent from certain actions of the corporation and to have paid the faire value of the shares held by such shareholders, the QCA has no such provision;

(e)   while the OBCA requires shareholder approval for a sale of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets, the QCA has no such requirement.

Shareholders should consult with their legal advisors regarding the differences between these two statutes.

Auditors, Registrar and Transfer Agent

Following the completion of the Arrangement, the auditors of Gammon Lake will continue to be KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The Transfer Agent and Registrar of Gammon Lake will continue to be Computershare Investor Services Inc.. The register of transfers for the Gammon Lake Common Shares will continue to be located at 1500 University Street, Suite 700, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 3S8.

REQUIRED APPROVALS

Securityholder Approvals

At the Meeting, the Securityholders will be asked to consider and if considered advisable, pass, the Arrangement Resolution to approve the Arrangement. A copy of the Arrangement Resolution is attached as Schedule A to this Circular.

As provided in the Interim Order, before the Arrangement can be implemented, the Arrangement Resolution, with or without variation, must be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the Shareholders and the Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Shareholders and Optionholders will vote together as a single class at the Meeting. Each Common Share carries the right to one vote. Each Mexgold Option carries the right to one vote for each Common Share issuable upon the full exercise of the Mexgold Option, without reference to any vesting provisions or the exercise price thereof, determined as of the close of business (Toronto time) on the Record Date. To the best of the knowledge of the management of Mexgold, after due enquiry, as at June 28, 2006, the directors and officers of Mexgold beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, 604,000 Common Shares and 4,680,000 Mexgold Options. The directors and officers of Mexgold have advised that they will vote all such Common Shares and Mexgold Options in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

In addition, because the Arrangement is a "business combination" and a "related party transaction" for Mexgold under Rule 61-501, the Arrangement Resolution must also be approved by at least a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by the Minority Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. To the best of the knowledge of the management of Mexgold, after due enquiry, as at June 28, 2006, a total of 14,334,0000 Common Shares were beneficially owned, or control or direction was exercised over such shares, by Excluded Persons. To the best of the knowledge of Mexgold, after due enquiry, as at June 28, 2006 a total of 120,000 Common Shares were beneficially owned, or control or direction was exercised over such shares and options, by the directors and senior officers of Mexgold and their respective associates who are independent of Gammon Lake. Those persons have advised that they intend to vote all such Common Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

Court Approval of Arrangement

The OBCA requires that Mexgold obtain court approval to proceed with the Arrangement. Prior to the mailing of this Circular, Mexgold obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters. A copy of the Interim Order is attached to this Circular as Schedule D. The Notice of Application for the Final Order is attached to this Circular as Schedule E.

As provided in the Notice of Application, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place on August 2, 2006, before the Court at Toronto, Ontario, subject to Securityholder approval of the Arrangement at the Meeting. At this hearing, all Securityholders who wish to participate or be represented or present evidence or argument may do so, subject to filing a Notice of Appearance and satisfying other requirements. A Securityholder wishing to appear before the Court should seek legal advice.

The Court has broad discretion under the OBCA when making orders in respect of the Arrangement and the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. The Court may approve the Arrangement either as proposed or as amended in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court thinks fit.

The Court will be informed prior to the hearing that, if such declaratory judgment is granted, this will constitute the basis for an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act with respect to, among other things, the Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options to be distributed pursuant to the Arrangement. See "Regulatory Matters – U.S. Securities Law Matters".


- 42 -

Stock Exchange Approvals

The Arrangement is conditional on acceptance by the TSXV of the Arrangement and the approval by the TSX and the AMEX (and any other securities regulatory authority) of the Arrangement, the listing of the additional Gammon Lake Common Shares issuable under the Arrangement and upon the exercise of the Gammon Lake Convertible Securities, and the continued listing of the Gammon Lake Common Shares on the TSX following completion of the Arrangement. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of all Gammon Lake Common Shares to be issued by Gammon Lake in connection with the Arrangement and have reserved for listing the maximum number of Gammon Lake Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Gammon Lake Convertible Securities, subject to fulfillment of standard conditions. Gammon Lake has also applied to list on the AMEX the Gammon Lake Common Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement and upon the exercise of the Gammon Lake Convertible Securities. Listing will be subject to Gammon Lake fulfilling all of the requirements of the AMEX.

Regulatory Approvals

Gammon Lake must give notice of the Arrangement to the Mexican Federal Commission of Economic Competition of before the completion of the Arrangement. The Arrangement will not require the approval of the Mexican Federal Commission of Economic Competition.

PROCEDURE FOR THE ARRANGEMENT TO BECOME EFFECTIVE

The Arrangement is proposed to be carried out pursuant to Section 182 of the OBCA, and the following procedural steps must be taken in order for the Arrangement to become effective:

(a)   The Court must grant the Final Order approving the Arrangement;

(b)   All conditions precedent to the Arrangement, including without limitation those contained in the Arrangement Agreement, must be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party; and

(c)   The Articles of Arrangement must be filed with and accepted by the Director.

Payment by Gammon Lake of the consideration for the Common Shares and Mexgold Options so transferred will be made as soon as practicable following the later of the Effective Date and the date of deposit by a Securityholder with the Depositary of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (in the case of a Shareholder) and the certificates representing such Common Shares or Mexgold Options, as the case may be, except for payments to a Dissenting Shareholder.

Depositary

Mexgold and Gammon Lake have retained the services of the Depositary for the receipt of the Letters of Transmittal and the certificates representing Common Shares and for the delivery of the certificates representing the Gammon Lake Common Shares to be issued to Shareholders under the Arrangement. The Depositary will receive reasonable and customary compensation for its services in connection with the Arrangement, will be reimbursed for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will be indemnified against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities law and expenses in connection therewith.

Procedures for Exchange of Certificates by Shareholders

Enclosed with this Circular is a Letter of Transmittal (printed on yellow paper). The Letter of Transmittal, when properly completed and duly executed and returned together with certificates for Common Shares and all other required documents, will enable each Shareholder to obtain a certificate representing Gammon Lake Common Shares issued under the Arrangement to such Shareholder on the basis of 0.47 of Gammon Lake Common Shares for each Common Share previously held and represented by the deposited share certificates.

No fractional Gammon Lake Common Shares will be issued under the Arrangement. If any Shareholder should be entitled to receive a fractional number of Gammon Lake Common Shares, the number of Gammon Lake Common


- 43 -

Shares to be received by such Shareholder will be rounded up (if the fractional interest is 0.5 or more) or down (if the fractional interest is less than 0.5) to the nearest whole number of Gammon Lake Common Shares.

Any use of the mail to transmit a certificate for Common Shares and a related Letter of Transmittal is at the risk of the Shareholder. If these documents are mailed, it is recommended that registered mail, with return receipt requested, properly insured, be used.

Whether or not Shareholders forward the certificates representing their Common Shares upon completion of the Plan of Arrangement on or before the Effective Date, Shareholders will cease to be Shareholders as of the Effective Date and will only be entitled to receive the certificates representing that number of Gammon Lake Common Shares to which they are entitled under the Plan of Arrangement or, in the case of Dissenting Shareholders, the right to receive fair value for their Common Shares in accordance with the dissent procedures. See "Rights of Dissent".

Certificates representing the appropriate number of Gammon Lake Common Shares issuable to a former Shareholder who has complied with the procedures set out above will, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within the later of three business days after the Effective Date and ten business days after the receipt by the Depositary of the duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, certificate(s) representing the Common Shares, and all other required documents, (i) be forwarded to the Shareholder at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal by first class mail, postage prepaid, or (ii) be made available at the principal offices of the Depositary in Montreal, Quebec or in Toronto, Ontario for pick up by the Shareholder if requested by the Shareholder in the Letter of Transmittal.

Where a certificate for Common Shares has been destroyed, lost or mutilated, the Shareholder should immediately contact the Depositary, at 1-800-564-6253 in North America (toll free) or 1-514-982-7555 outside of North America, regarding the issuance of a replacement certificate upon the Shareholder satisfying such requirements as may be imposed by Mexgold or the Depositary in connection with issuance of the replacement certificate.

To ensure timely delivery of the certificate(s) representing the Gammon Lake Common Shares that a Shareholder is entitled to under the Arrangement, it is recommended that the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and signed, together with the certificates representing the Common Shares owned by such Shareholder and any other required documentation be delivered by mail, hand or courier to the Depositary at the address set forth on the back page of this Letter of Transmittal on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second business day preceding the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders should contact their Intermediary for instructions and assistance in providing details for registration or delivery of their Gammon Lake Common Shares.

Extinction of Rights

Any certificate representing Common Shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Common Shares that were not deposited (together with all other instruments required by Mexgold and/or the Depositary) pursuant to the Arrangement on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, will cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature as a Shareholder or for the receipt of Gammon Lake securities or other consideration. On such date, the consideration to which the former holder of the certificate(s) representing Common Shares would have been entitled to receive will be deemed to have been surrendered for no consideration to Gammon Lake, together with all entitlements to dividends, distributions and any interest thereon held for such former holder.

Procedures for Exchange of Mexgold Options

A holder of Mexgold Options at the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive an instrument representing the Gammon Lake Options to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Arrangement as soon as practical after the Effective Date upon delivery to Gammon Lake of such documents and instruments, if any, as Gammon Lake may reasonably require, and each and every certificate, document, agreement or other instrument, if any, formerly representing Mexgold Options will be and will be deemed to be cancelled, void and of no further force and effect without any further authorization, act or formality. Gammon Lake will register and make available or send by first class mail (postage prepaid) an instrument representing Gammon Lake Options registered in the name, and to the last address of, each former holder of Mexgold Options as registered in the books and records of Mexgold. Unless otherwise requested or


- 44 -

directed by Gammon Lake, a holder of a Mexgold Option is not required to submit a Letter of Transmittal. No fractional Gammon Lake Options will be issued under the Arrangement.

RIGHTS OF DISSENT

Pursuant to the Interim Order, Shareholders are entitled to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution provided that they satisfy the requirements set out in section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Interim Order. A Dissenting Shareholder who complies with each of the steps required to dissent will be entitled to be paid the fair value of the Common Shares in respect of which it dissents, determined as of the close of business on the day before the proposed amendments are implemented. A Dissenting Shareholder may only dissent with respect to all of the Common Shares held by it on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the name of the Dissenting Shareholder. However, a Dissenting Shareholder is not entitled to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution with respect to any Common Shares beneficially owned by one owner if the Shareholder votes any such shares beneficially owned by that owner in favour of the Special Resolution.

The following summary does not purport to provide comprehensive statements of the procedures to be followed by a dissenting shareholder under the OBCA, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Interim Order and Section 185 of the OBCA, copies of which are attached in their entirety as Schedules D and F to this Circular, respectively. These provisions are technical and complex. Any Shareholder desiring to exercise its right of dissent should seek legal counsel since the failure to properly comply with such provisions could prejudice this right.

In order to make a claim, a Dissenting Shareholder must send to Mexgold, to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer, a Notice of Dissent to the Arrangement Resolution. The objection must be received by Mexgold at 1601 Lower Water Street, Suite 402, Summit Place, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2P8, Fax no. (902) 468-0631 not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, with a copy delivered to Mexgold’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, fax no. 1-866-249-7775 or (416) 263-9524. It is important that Dissenting Shareholders strictly comply with this requirement, which is different from the statutory dissent provisions of the OBCA. The sending of the Notice of Dissent does not deprive such Shareholder of the right to vote at the Meeting. A vote against the Arrangement Resolution or the execution of a proxy which is so voted does not itself constitute a Notice of Dissent. Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxy holder to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a Notice of Dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution, but any such proxy granted by a Shareholder who intends to dissent should be validly revoked (see "Revocation of Proxies’’ under ‘‘General Information for the Meeting") in order to prevent the proxy holder from voting such shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. A vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, whether in person or by proxy, may constitute a waiver of a Securityholder’s right to dissent.

Persons who are Beneficial Shareholders who wish to dissent with respect to their Common Shares should be aware that only the registered Shareholder of such Common Shares is entitled to dissent with respect to them. A registered Shareholder such as an Intermediary who holds Common Shares as nominee for Beneficial Shareholders, some of whom wish to dissent, must exercise dissent rights on behalf of such Beneficial Shareholders with respect to the securities held for such Beneficial Shareholders. In such case, the Notice of Dissent should set forth the number of Common Shares it covers.

Within 10 days after the Arrangement Resolution is adopted by the Securityholders, Mexgold will send written notice to each Securityholder who has filed a Notice of Dissent to the Arrangement Resolution and who has not voted for the Arrangement Resolution or withdrawn its objection notice that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted.

Within 20 days after receiving from Mexgold a notice that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, or if such notice is not received, within 20 days after learning that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, the Dissenting Shareholder must send to Mexgold a written notice containing its name, address, and the number of Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options in respect of which it dissents and a demand for payment of the fair value of such Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options. Within 30 days thereafter, the Dissenting Shareholder must send to Mexgold or its transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., the certificates representing the Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options in respect of which it dissents. The certificates will be endorsed with a notice that the holder is a Dissenting Shareholder and will be returned to the Securityholder. Upon sending the notice demanding payment of fair value, a Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder of Mexgold other than to be paid the fair value of its Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options, except where (a) such Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its notice before Mexgold makes an offer to pay for its Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options, (b) Mexgold fails to make an offer and the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its notice, or (c) the directors of Mexgold elect not to proceed with the Arrangement.


- 45 -

Not later than seven days after the later of the date on which the Arrangement Resolution is effective or the day on which Mexgold receives the notice containing the demand for payment, Mexgold will send to each Dissenting Shareholder who has sent such notice, a written offer to pay for its shares, accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined, or a notification that it is unable lawfully to pay Dissenting Shareholders for their shares. Every such offer to pay for Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options shall be on the same terms. Unless otherwise unable to lawfully pay, Mexgold shall pay for the Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options of a Dissenting Shareholder within 10 days after the offer by Mexgold has been accepted, but any offer lapses if not accepted within 30 days. If Mexgold fails to make such an offer, or if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to accept an offer, Mexgold may within 50 days after the proposed amendments are effective, or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to a court to fix a fair value for the Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options of such Dissenting Shareholder. If Mexgold fails to apply to a court in such manner and within such period, a Dissenting Shareholder may apply to a court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or such further period as a court may allow. The application must be made to a court having jurisdiction in the place where Mexgold has its registered office or in the province where the Dissenting Shareholder resides if Mexgold carries on business in that province.

Upon an application to a court, all Dissenting Shareholders whose Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options have not been purchased by Mexgold will be joined as parties and be bound by the decision of the court, and Mexgold will be required to notify each Dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of the right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Upon any such application to a court, the court may determine whether any person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the court will then fix a fair value for the Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options of all Dissenting Shareholders who have not accepted an offer to pay. The final order of a court will be rendered against Mexgold in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder and for the amount of the fair value of the Dissenting Shareholder’s Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options as fixed by the court. The court may, in its discretion allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each such Dissenting Shareholder from the date on which the Arrangement Resolution was adopted until the date of payment.

Provided that the Arrangement Resolution becomes effective, a Securityholder who complies with each of the steps required to dissent effectively is entitled to be paid the fair value of the Common Shares in respect of which such Shareholder has dissented. (See "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations").

QUALIFICATION AND RESALE OF GAMMON LAKE COMMON SHARES

Canada

The Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued in reliance on exemptions from prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws and will generally be "freely tradeable" (other than as a result of any "control block" restrictions which may arise by virtue of the ownership thereof, and, in the case of the Gammon Lake Stock Options, other than as provided for in the rules and policies of the TSX and the terms of the Gammon Lake Options) in Canada under applicable securities laws of the provinces and territories of Canada, subject to the usual conditions that no unusual effort is made to prepare the market for any such resale or to create a demand for the securities which are subject to any such resale, no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid in respect thereof and if the seller is an insider or officer it has no reasonable grounds to believe that Gammon Lake is in default of securities legislation.

The Gammon Lake Common Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Gammon Lake Options will be issued in reliance on exemptions from prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws and will generally be "freely tradeable" (subject to any "control block" disclosure requirements and resale restrictions that may arise by virtue of the ownership thereof) in Canada under applicable securities laws of the provinces and territories of Canada, subject in certain circumstances to the usual conditions that no unusual effort is made to prepare the market for any such resale or to create a demand for the securities which are subject to any such resale, no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid in respect thereof and if the seller is an insider or officer it has no reasonable grounds to believe that Gammon Lake is in default of securities legislation.

United States

The proposed issuances of Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options to Securityholders are considered to be "offers" or "sales" of securities subject to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the 1933 Act. Gammon Lake therefore seeks to rely upon the securities registration exemption set forth in Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act with respect to the various issuances of securities pursuant to the Arrangement. Section 3(a)(10) exempts securities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by any court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued have the right to appear. The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement will be determined. The Court entered the Interim Order on June 27, 2006 and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement by the Securityholders, a hearing on the Arrangement is expected to be held on August 2, 2006 by the Court. See "Procedures for the Arrangement to become Effective – Court Approval". The consequences to Mexgold’s current Securityholders are set out below.

In the event that the Arrangement is completed, the resulting issuance of Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options will not be registered under Section 5 of the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States, but will instead be effected in reliance on the registration exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act and exemptions provided under applicable state securities laws. The Gammon Lake Common Shares received by Securityholders in the Arrangement will generally be resaleable without securities laws restriction except with respect to certain Securityholders. The Gammon Lake Options are, by their terms, non-transferable.

With respect to Gammon Lake Common Shares issued to Securityholders upon closing of the Arrangement, persons who are not affiliates of either Mexgold or Gammon Lake prior to the Arrangement and who are not affiliates of Gammon Lake after the Arrangement, subject to applicable Canadian requirements, may resell their Gammon Lake Common Shares without restriction under the 1933 Act. Rule 144 under the 1933 Act defines an "affiliate" of an issuer as "a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such issuer." Typically, persons who are executive officers, directors or major shareholders of an issuer are considered to be its affiliates.

Persons who are affiliates of either Mexgold or Gammon Lake prior to the Arrangement may not resell their Gammon Lake Common Shares in the absence of registration under the 1933 Act, unless, as discussed below, an exemption from registration is available.

Persons who are affiliates of either Mexgold or Gammon Lake prior to the Arrangement, and are affiliates of Gammon Lake after the Arrangement, will be entitled to resell, during any three-month period, that number of Gammon Lake Common Shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding securities of such class and (ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading in such securities on the AMEX during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the required notice under Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, or if no such notice is required, the date of receipt of the order to execute the transaction by the broker or the date of execution of the transaction directly with a market maker, subject to certain restrictions on the manner of sale, notice requirements, aggregation rules and the availability of public information about Gammon Lake.

Persons who are affiliates of either Mexgold or Gammon Lake prior to the Arrangement, but are not affiliates of Gammon Lake after the Arrangement, may resell their Gammon Lake Common Shares as described in the immediately preceding paragraph, or without regard to the volume and manner of sale limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph, so long as they hold their Gammon Lake Common Shares for a period of one year from the date of the Arrangement, subject to the availability of certain public information about Gammon Lake.

Finally, persons who are affiliates of either Mexgold or Gammon Lake prior to the Arrangement and are not, and have not been during the three-month period preceding the resale, an affiliate of Gammon Lake after the Arrangement, may resell their Gammon Lake Common Shares without regard to the restrictions set forth in the preceding two paragraphs, so long as they hold their Gammon Lake Common Shares for a period of two years from the date of the Arrangement.


- 47 -

The exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act will not be available for the issuance of Gammon Lake Common Shares upon the exercise of Gammon Lake Options. As a result, Gammon Lake Options may not be exercised by or on behalf of a person in the United States, and the shares issuable upon their exercise may not be offered or sold in the United States, unless the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Gammon Lake Common Shares is the subject of registration under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption is available from such registration requirements such as the exemption contained in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or unless registration is not required pursuant to the exclusion from registration provided by Regulation S under the 1933 Act. Under Rule 144, the Gammon Lake Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Gammon Lake Options to a person in the United States will be subject to a one year hold period. After the one year holding period, the Gammon Lake Common Shares may be resold in the United States in accordance with the volume, current public information, manner of sale limitations and notice provisions of Rule 144. After a two year hold period, persons who are not then affiliates of Gammon Lake and have not been affiliates of Gammon Lake for the three-month period immediately preceding such date will be entitled to resell such restricted securities without restriction under the 1933 Act.

Subject to certain limitations, all holders of Gammon Lake Common Shares, including shares issued upon the exercise of Gammon Lake Options, may immediately resell such securities outside the United States without registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act. Generally, subject to certain limitations, holders of Gammon Lake Common Shares following the Arrangement who are not affiliates of Gammon Lake or who are affiliates of Gammon Lake solely by virtue of their status as an officer or director of Gammon Lake may, under the securities laws of the United States, resell their Gammon Lake Common Shares in an "offshore transaction" (which would include a sale through the TSX) if neither the seller, nor an affiliate, nor any person acting on their behalf engages in "directed selling efforts" in the United States and, in the case of a sale of Gammon Lake Common Shares by an officer or director who is an affiliate of Gammon Lake solely by virtue of holding such position, no selling commission, fee or other remuneration is paid in connection with such offer or sale other than a usual and customary broker’s commission that would be received by a person executing such transaction as agent. For purposes of Regulation S, "directed selling efforts" means "any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for any of the securities being offered" in the resale transaction. Additional restrictions are applicable to a holder of Gammon Lake Common Shares who will be an affiliate of Gammon Lake other than by virtue of his or her status as an officer or director of Gammon Lake.

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of United States federal securities laws applicable to the Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options received upon completion of the Arrangement. Holders of these securities may be subject to additional restrictions including, but not limited to, restrictions under written contracts, agreements or instruments to which they are parties or are otherwise subject, and restrictions under applicable securities laws of all U.S. states. All holders of Gammon Lake’s securities are urged to consult with counsel to ensure that the resale of their securities complies with applicable securities legislation.

The solicitation of proxies under the Arrangement is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act; accordingly, this Circular has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canadian law. Such requirements are different than those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the 1934 Act. The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor-independence standards, and may not be comparable in all respects to financial statements of United States companies.

The securities to be issued in connection with the Arrangement have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or securities regulatory authorities of any state of the United States, nor has the SEC or securities regulatory authority of any state in the United States passed on the adequacy or accuracy of this circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to Shareholders who are individuals (other than trusts, including trusts that govern deferred income plans under the ITA such as registered retirement savings plans) or corporations who are not exempt from Canadian federal income tax, who, for the purposes of the ITA, (i) deal at arms’ length with, and are not affiliated with, Mexgold and Gammon Lake, (ii) hold their Common Shares as capital property, and (iii) immediately following the completion of the Arrangement will not, either alone or together with other persons with whom they do not deal at arm’s length, either control

Gammon Lake or beneficially own shares of Gammon Lake which have a fair market value in excess of 50% of the fair market value of all outstanding shares of Gammon Lake. Common Shares will generally be considered to be held as capital property for purposes of the ITA by holders thereof unless they are held in the course of carrying on a business or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. Certain Shareholders who are resident in Canada and whose Common Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may be entitled, in certain circumstances, to obtain such qualification for their Common Shares, and all other "Canadian securities" as defined in the ITA, owned by such Shareholders, by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the ITA. This summary is not applicable to a Shareholder: (i) that is a "specified financial institution" as defined in the ITA; (ii) that is a "financial institution" as defined in the ITA for purposes of the "mark-to-market rules"; or (iii) an interest in which would be a "tax shelter investment" under the ITA.

The following summary is based on the current provisions of the ITA, the regulations thereunder, all proposals to amend the ITA or the regulations publicly announced by the federal Minister of Finance prior to the date hereof, and Mexgold’s understanding, based upon publicly available published materials, of the current administrative practices of the CRA.

This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to a Shareholder who proposes to participate in or dissent in relation to the Arrangement. Other than publicly-announced proposals to amend the ITA or the regulations, this summary does not take into account or anticipate changes in the ITA, the regulations or the administrative practices of the CRA. Nor does this summary take into account provincial, territorial, or foreign tax considerations, nor any considerations that may arise under any income tax convention or treaty which may have application to a Securityholder in relation to its liability to or relief from taxation in Canada and any other country in respect of which Canada has entered into such an income tax convention or treaty that is currently in force.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice to any particular person. Therefore, Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

This summary does not address all relevant issues for Shareholders who acquired the Common Shares on the exercise of an employee stock option. Such Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors. This summary does not address income tax considerations applicable to holders of Mexgold Warrants. Holders of Mexgold Warrants should consult their own tax advisors.

Capital Gains and Losses

Reference is made in this summary of the tax consequences of capital gains and losses realized upon the disposition of Common Shares.

Generally, one-half of any such capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized upon, where applicable, a Shareholder’s disposition of Common Shares will be included in its income for the year of disposition, and one-half of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") so realized, where applicable, may be deducted by such Shareholder against its taxable capital gains for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs.

Subject to the detailed rules in the ITA, any excess of allowable capital losses over taxable capital gains of the said Shareholder may be carried back up to three taxation years or forward indefinitely and deducted against net taxable capital gains in those other years.

A Shareholder that is a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the ITA) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 6 2/3% on its taxable capital gains.

Capital gains realized by individuals and certain trusts may be subject to alternative minimum tax under the ITA.

Shareholders Resident in Canada Who Participate in the Arrangement

Exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares - Without Election under the ITA

This part of the summary applies generally to Shareholders who, for the purposes of the ITA, are or are deemed to be resident in Canada and who participate in the Arrangement.

A Shareholder who exchanges Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and who does not make an election under section 85 of the ITA, as described below, and who does not in its return of income for the taxation year in which the exchange occurs include in its income any portion of the gain or loss otherwise determined as a result of the exchange, will, pursuant to subsection 85.1(1) of the ITA, be deemed to have disposed of the Common Shares for proceeds, and to have acquired the Gammon Lake Common Shares at an aggregate cost, equal to the "adjusted cost base" (as that phrase is defined in the ITA) of their Common Shares. The cost of Gammon Lake Common Shares acquired by a Shareholder under the Arrangement must generally be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all other Gammon Lake Common Shares owned by the Shareholder to determine the adjusted cost base of a Gammon Lake Common Share from time to time. A future disposition or deemed disposition of Gammon Lake Common Shares will result in the realization by the Shareholder of a capital gain (or capital loss) in the amount by which the Shareholder’s proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) the sum of the adjusted cost base of such Shareholder’s Gammon Lake Common Shares and the Shareholder’s reasonable expenses of such disposition.

Instead of the tax-deferred treatment described above, a Shareholder may choose, in filing its income tax return for the taxation year in which the exchange occurs, to recognize a gain or loss on such exchange for that year. A Shareholder who may wish to recognize a gain or loss on such exchange should first consult with its own tax advisors.

Exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares - With Election under the ITA

Gammon Lake has agreed to give all Shareholders the option of making a joint election with Gammon Lake for the purposes of section 85 of the ITA. A Shareholder who elects to do so (an "Electing Holder") may make a joint election with Gammon Lake pursuant to section 85 of the ITA and thereby obtain a full or partial tax-deferred "rollover" for Canadian income tax purposes, depending on the "Elected Amount" (as defined below) and the adjusted cost base to the Shareholder of the Common Shares at the time of the exchange. The "Elected Amount" means the amount selected by an Electing Holder, subject to the limitations described below, in the election made pursuant to section 85 of the ITA to be treated as proceeds of disposition of Common Shares.

In general, the Elected Amount must comply with the following rules:

(a)   the Elected Amount may not be less than the lesser of the adjusted cost base to the Electing Holder of the Common Shares exchanged, determined immediately before the time of the exchange, and the fair market value of Common Shares at the time; and

(b)   the Elected Amount may not exceed the fair market value of the Common Shares at the time of the exchange.

Where an Electing Holder and Gammon Lake make an election, the tax treatment to the Electing Holder generally will be as follows:

(a)   the Common Shares will be deemed to have been disposed of by the Electing Holder for proceeds of disposition equal to the Elected Amount;

(b)   if such proceeds of disposition of the Common Shares are equal to the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the Electing Holder of the Common Shares, determined immediately before the exchange and any reasonable costs of disposition, no capital gain or capital loss will be realized by the Electing Holder;

(c)   to the extent that such proceeds of disposition of the Common Shares exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base thereof to the Electing Holder and any reasonable costs of disposition, the Electing Holder will in general realize a capital gain (or capital loss); and


- 50 -

(d)    the aggregate cost to the Electing Holder of the Gammon Lake Common Shares acquired on the exchange will be equal to the Elected Amount and the adjusted cost base of such shares will generally be determined by averaging the cost of such Gammon Lake Common Shares with the adjusted cost base of any other Gammon Lake Common Shares held by that holder at that time as capital property.

An Electing Holder interested in making an election should indicate that intention in the Letter of Transmittal in the space provided therein and a tax instruction letter, together with the relevant tax election forms, will be sent to the Electing Holder at or about the time that the Electing Holder is sent the consideration to which the Electing Holder is entitled under the Arrangement. A tax instruction letter providing instructions on how to complete the section 85 election forms, and relevant election forms, may be obtained from the Depository by checking the appropriate box on the Letter of Transmittal and submitting the Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the procedures set out in therein.

In order to make an election, an Electing Holder must ensure that two signed copies of the necessary election forms are returned in accordance with the procedures set out in the tax instruction letter on or before 90 days after the completion of the Arrangement duly completed with the details of the number of Common Shares transferred, the consideration received and the applicable Elected Amounts for the purposes of such elections. Subject to the election forms complying with the provisions of the ITA (or applicable provincial income tax law), one copy of the form will be returned to the particular holder, signed by Gammon Lake for filing by the holder with the CRA (or the applicable provincial tax authority).

Gammon Lake will make an election under section 85 of the ITA (and the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial tax legislation) only with an Electing Holder, and at the amount selected by the Electing Holder subject to the limitations set out in the ITA (and any applicable provincial tax legislation). Gammon Lake will not be responsible for the proper completion or filing of any election and the Electing Holder will be solely responsible for the payment of any late filing penalty. Gammon Lake agrees only to execute any properly completed election and to forward such election by mail (within 90 days after the receipt thereof) to the Electing Holder. With the exception of execution of the election by Gammon Lake, compliance with the requirements for a valid election will be the sole responsibility of the Electing Holder making the election. Accordingly, neither Gammon Lake nor the Depositary will be responsible or liable for taxes, interest, penalties, damages or expenses resulting from the failure by anyone to deliver any election in accordance with the procedures set out in the tax instruction letter, to properly complete any election or to properly file it within the time prescribed and in the form prescribed under the ITA (or the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial tax legislation).

In order for the CRA (and where applicable the Ministère du Revenu du Quebec) to accept a tax election without a late filing penalty being paid by an Electing Holder, the election must be received by such revenue authorities on or before the day that is the earliest of the days on or before which either Gammon Lake or the Electing Holder is required to file an income tax return for the taxation year in which the exchange occurs. Gammon Lake’s current taxation year is scheduled to end on December 31, 2006, although Gammon Lake’s taxation year could end earlier as a result of an event such as an amalgamation. Electing Holders are urged to consult their own advisers as soon as possible respecting the deadlines applicable to their own particular circumstances. However, regardless of such deadlines, the tax election forms of an Electing Holder must be received in accordance with the procedures set out in the tax instruction letter no later than 90 days after the completion of the Arrangement. Because Gammon Lake has agreed to execute and return the election to the Electing Holder within 90 days of its receipt in accordance with the procedures set out in the tax instruction letter, to avoid late filing penalties certain Electing Holders may be required to forward their tax election forms to Gammon Lake before 90 days from the completion of the Arrangement.

Any Electing Holder who does not ensure that a duly completed election has been received in accordance with the procedures set out in the tax instruction letter on or before 90 days after the completion of the Arrangement will not be able to benefit from the rollover provision in section 85 of the ITA (or the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial tax legislation). Accordingly, all Electing Holders who wish to enter into an election with Gammon Lake should give their immediate attention to this matter. The instructions for requesting a tax instruction letter are set out in the Letter of Transmittal. Electing Holders are referred to Information Circular 76-19R3 and Interpretation Bulletin IT-291R3 issued by the CRA for further information respecting the election. Electing Holders wishing to make the election should consult their own tax advisers. An Electing Holder who does not make a valid election under section 85 of the ITA may still benefit from a rollover as outlined above under the heading "Shareholders Resident in Canada Who Participate in the Arrangement - Exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares - Without Election under the ITA". The comments herein with respect to such elections are provided for general assistance only. The law in this area is complex and contains numerous technical requirements.


- 51 -

Dissenting Shareholders Resident in Canada

This part of the summary applies generally to Shareholders who, for the purposes of the ITA, are resident in Canada and are Dissenting Shareholders.

A Dissenting Shareholder who receives a payment from Mexgold for its Common Shares equal to the fair value of its Common Shares generally will be deemed, under the ITA, to have received a dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which the payment (excluding any interest awarded by the court) exceeds the paid-up capital of the Common Shares. A dissenting Shareholder will be required to include the amount of any interest in income.

Subject to the application of subsection 55(2) of the ITA, a Dissenting Shareholder will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any dividends deemed to be received on the Common Shares. In the case of a Dissenting Shareholder that is an individual (other than certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations. Any such dividends deemed to be received by a Dissenting Shareholder that is a corporation will generally be deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income. Subsection 55(2) of the ITA provides that where a Dissenting Shareholder that is a corporation would otherwise be deemed to receive a dividend, in certain circumstances the deemed dividend may be deemed not to be received as a dividend and instead may be treated as proceeds of disposition of the Common Shares for purposes of computing the Dissenting Shareholder’s capital gain or capital loss. Dissenting Shareholders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors in this regard. A "private corporation", as defined in the ITA, or any other corporation controlled, whether because of a beneficial interest in one or more trusts or otherwise, by or for the benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or a related group of individuals (other than trusts), will generally be liable to pay a refundable tax of 33 1/3% under Part IV of the ITA on dividends received (or deemed to be received) on the Common Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing taxable income for the year.

The Dissenting Shareholder who receives a payment from Mexgold for its Common Shares will also realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) to the extent that the amount of the payment received (excluding any interest), less the amount of the deemed dividend and of any costs of disposition, exceeds (or is exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of such shares to the Dissenting Shareholder. For a summary of the tax consequences of capital gains and losses, see "Capital Gains and Losses" above.

Shareholders Not Resident in Canada Who Participate in the Arrangement

The following portion of the summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a Shareholder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the ITA and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, is not and is not deemed to be resident in Canada, does not and will not use or hold Common Shares or Gammon Lake Common Shares in a business carried on in Canada and whose Common Shares do not, and whose Gammon Lake Common Shares will not, constitute "taxable Canadian property" to the Shareholder as defined in the ITA (a "Non-Resident Shareholder"). Common Shares and Gammon Lake Common Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Shareholder at a particular time provided such shares were listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the TSX and the TSXV) at that time and the Non-Resident Shareholder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Shareholder does not deal at arm’s length, or the Non-Resident Shareholder together with such persons, have not owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of Mexgold or Gammon Lake at any time during the 60-month period that ends at that time.

Participation in the Arrangement and Exercise of Dissent Rights

The consequences under the ITA of the Arrangement to a Non-Resident Shareholder, including Non-Resident Shareholders who dissent to the Arrangement, will generally be as described under "Shareholders Resident in Canada Who Participate in the Arrangement" and "Dissenting Shareholders Resident in Canada". However, any interest awarded by a court to a dissenting Non-Resident Shareholder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, subject to reduction under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) (the "U.S. Treaty"), the rate of withholding tax on interest paid to a dissenting Non-Resident


- 52 -

Shareholder that is resident in the United States for purposes of the U.S. Treaty (in this summary, a "U.S. Holder") is generally reduced to 10%. To the extent that an amount paid to a dissenting Non-Resident Shareholder is treated as a dividend paid to that Shareholder, such dividend will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, subject to reduction under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Under the U.S. Treaty, the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. Holder is generally reduced to 15%. Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences to them under the ITA of participating in the Arrangement or dissenting thereto.

Holding and Disposing of Gammon Lake Common Shares

A Non-Resident Shareholder will not be liable to Canadian tax on a capital gain realized on a disposition of a Gammon Lake Common Share unless such security constitutes taxable Canadian property. Shareholders whose Common Shares constitute or whose Gammon Lake Common Shares will constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

Dividends paid or deemed paid to a Non-Resident Shareholder on the Gammon Lake Common Shares will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, which rate may be reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Under the U.S. Treaty, the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. Holder is generally reduced to 15%.

Holders of Mexgold Options Resident in Canada

This part of the summary is applicable to Optionholders who, for the purposes of the ITA, (i) are resident in or deemed to be resident in Canada, (ii) are current or former employees of Mexgold (or any subsidiary thereof), (iii) deal at arm's length with such corporation, and (iv) received their Mexgold Options in respect of, in the course of, or by virtue of, employment.

On the exchange of Mexgold Options for Gammon Lake Options under the Arrangement, an Optionholder who holds Mexgold Options may, in certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, be deemed under the ITA not to have disposed of Mexgold Options and not to have acquired the Gammon Lake Options, and the Gammon Lake Options will be deemed under the ITA to be the same as, and a continuation of, Mexgold Options exchanged therefor. As a result, in those circumstances and subject to those conditions, no disposition arises on the exchange that otherwise may have been taxable to such Optionholder. One of those conditions, among others, that must be met is that the amount by which the fair market value of the Gammon Lake Common Shares, immediately after the exchange of Mexgold Options for Gammon Lake Options, exceeds the exercise price to acquire Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Gammon Lake Options, must not exceed the amount by which the fair market value of the Common Shares, immediately before the exchange, exceeds the exercise price to acquire Common Shares pursuant to Mexgold Options. The circumstances that must exist and conditions that must be met so that the consequences summarized in the preceding paragraph apply will vary, based in large measure on facts related to the specific Optionholder. Counsel to Gammon Lake is not in a position to advise on whether or not Gammon Lake Options, acquired in exchange for Mexgold Options, will provide to holders thereof any tax benefits. Accordingly, Optionholders to whom this paragraph may apply should obtain advice from their own tax advisors.

Where the necessary conditions are not met, an Optionholder who exchanges Mexgold Options for Gammon Lake Options will generally realize a taxable benefit, which must be included in computing his or her income for the year the exchange occurs. The taxable benefit is the amount calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the Gammon Lake Options he or she receives on the exchange less any consideration he or she paid to acquire Mexgold Options. In certain circumstances, the employee may be entitled to a deduction in computing his or her income for that year equal to one-half of the taxable benefit. The circumstances that must exist and conditions that must be met to claim this deduction will vary, based in large measure on facts related to the specific Optionholder. Further, counsel to Gammon Lake is not in a position to advise on whether or not Gammon Lake Options, acquired in exchange for Mexgold Options, will provide to holders thereof any tax benefits. Accordingly, Optionholders to whom this paragraph may apply should obtain advice from their own tax advisors.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) arising from and relating to the Arrangement.


- 53 -

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the Arrangement. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to such U.S. Holder. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the Arrangement.

Notice Pursuant to IRS Circular 230

Anything contained in this summary concerning any U.S. federal tax issue is not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by a U.S. Holder, for the purpose of avoiding U.S. federal tax penalties under the Code. This summary was written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions or matters addressed by this Circular (including the Arrangement). Each U.S. Holder should seek U.S. federal tax advice, based on such U.S. Holder's particular circumstances, from an independent tax advisor.

No Legal Opinion or IRS Ruling

No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the IRS has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.

Scope of this Disclosure

Authorities

This summary is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this Circular. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive basis.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of Common Shares that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., (b) a corporation, or any other entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state in the U.S., or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of such income, or (d) a trust if (i) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.

Non-U.S. Holders

A "non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of Common Shares other than a U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to non-U.S. Holders. Accordingly, non-U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences (including the potential application and operation of any income tax treaties) of the Arrangement.


- 54 -

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following U.S. Holders: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are dealers in securities or currencies or U.S. Holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders that acquired Common Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) U.S. Holders that hold Common Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code; or (h) U.S. Holders that own (directly, indirectly, or constructively), or have owned (directly, indirectly or constructively) in the five years preceding the Effective Date, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of the outstanding voting shares of Mexgold. In addition, this summary does not discuss the application of the "alternative minimum tax" rules under the Code. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.

If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to such partnership and the partners of such partnership generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners. Partners of entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.

Tax Consequences in Other Jurisdictions Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. state or local tax consequences, or the tax consequences in jurisdictions other than the U.S., of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the Arrangement.

Transactions Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of transactions entered into prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to the Arrangement (regardless of whether any such transaction is undertaken in connection with the Arrangement), including, but not limited to, the following transactions: (a) any exercise of any stock option, warrant, or other right to acquire Common Shares; (b) any conversion or assumption of any stock option, warrant, or other right to acquire Common Shares into a stock option, warrant, or other right to acquire Gammon Lake Common Shares; (c) any conversion or disposition of any note, debenture, or other debt instrument of Mexgold; or (d) any conversion of one class of shares of Mexgold into a different class of shares of Mexgold.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement

The Arrangement as a Tax-Deferred Reorganization

The Arrangement will be effected under applicable provisions of Canadian corporate law, which are technically different from analogous provisions of U.S. corporate law. Whether the Arrangement will qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization under section 368(a) of the Code (a "Reorganization") will depend on the resolution of numerous factual issues, some of which may not be known until the Effective Time, and the application of complex U.S. federal income tax laws. As of the date of this Circular, Gammon Lake and Mexgold anticipate that they each will treat the Arrangement as a Reorganization.

There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will not challenge the status of the Arrangement as a Reorganization or that the U.S. courts will uphold the status of the Arrangement as a Reorganization in the event of an IRS challenge. The requirements that must be satisfied in order for the Arrangement to qualify as a Reorganization are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding these requirements.


- 55 -

As discussed above, there can be no assurance that the Arrangement will qualify as a Reorganization. Assuming, however, that the Arrangement qualifies as a Reorganization, subject to the "passive foreign investment company" rules and the Treasury Regulations under section 367(a) of the Code discussed below, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences would result to U.S. Holders:

(a)    no gain or loss would be recognized by a U.S. Holder on the exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement;

(b)    the aggregate tax basis of a U.S. Holder in the Gammon Lake Common Shares acquired in exchange for Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement would be equal to such U.S. Holder's aggregate tax basis in the Common Shares exchanged;

(c)    the holding period of a U.S. Holder for the Gammon Lake Common Shares acquired in exchange for Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement would include such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Common Shares exchanged; and

(d)    certain U.S. Holders that exchange Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement would be required to report certain information to the IRS on their U.S. federal income tax returns for the taxable year in which the Arrangement occurs and to retain certain records related to the Arrangement.

The Treasury Regulations under section 367(a) of the Code generally require a U.S. Holder that owns (applying certain ownership attribution rules under section 318 of the Code), immediately after the Effective Time, Gammon Lake Common Shares representing five percent (5%) or more of the total voting power or the total value of all of the outstanding stock of Gammon Lake (a "5% Shareholder") to enter into a gain recognition agreement (a "GRA") in order to preserve Reorganization treatment with respect to the Arrangement. Generally, a GRA would require a 5% Shareholder to recognize the gain realized but not recognized pursuant to the Arrangement if, before the close of the fifth full taxable year following the close of the taxable year of the Arrangement, (a) Gammon Lake were to dispose (other than in certain tax-deferred transfers) of the Common Shares or (b) Mexgold were to dispose (other than in certain tax-deferred transfers) of "substantially all" of its assets. A 5% Shareholder would be required to report such gain on an amended U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year of the Arrangement, unless such 5% Shareholder elects in its GRA to recognize such gain in the taxable year that such gain under the GRA is triggered. In addition to the tax payable with respect to such gain, the 5% Shareholder would be required to pay interest on such tax as if such tax were payable for the taxable year of the Arrangement. A 5% Shareholder who files a GRA will also be required to file a waiver of the period of limitation on the assessment of tax regarding such gain and an annual certification statement for the term of the GRA. U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the Treasury Regulations under section 367(a) of the Code, including the requirement for entering into a GRA in order to preserve Reorganization treatment with respect to the Arrangement and the operation of a GRA.

The Arrangement as a Taxable Transaction

As discussed above, there can be no assurance that the Arrangement will qualify as a Reorganization. Accordingly, the Arrangement may be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming that the Arrangement does not qualify as a Reorganization, subject to the "passive foreign investment company" rules discussed below, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences would result to U.S. Holders:

(a)    a U.S. Holder would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value of Gammon Lake Common Shares received by such U.S. Holder in the Arrangement and (ii) the tax basis of such U.S. Holder in the Common Shares exchanged in the Arrangement;

(b)    the tax basis of a U.S. Holder in the Gammon Lake Common Shares acquired in exchange for Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement would be equal to the fair market value of the Gammon Lake Common Shares on the date of receipt; and

(c)    the holding period of a U.S. Holder for the Gammon Lake Common Shares acquired in exchange for Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement would begin on the day after the date of receipt.


- 56 -

Subject to the "passive foreign investment company" rules discussed below, the gain or loss described in clause (a) immediately above generally would be capital gain or loss, which would be long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Shares are held for more than one year. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to complex limitations under the Code.

Dissenting U.S. Holders

A U.S. Holder that exercises the right to dissent from the Arrangement and is paid cash for all of such U.S. Holder's Common Shares generally would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash received by such U.S. Holder in exchange for the Common Shares (other than amounts, if any, that are or are deemed to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which amounts would be taxed as ordinary income) and (b) the tax basis of such U.S. Holder in the Common Shares surrendered.

Subject to the "passive foreign investment company" rules discussed below, such gain or loss generally would be capital gain or loss, which would be long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Shares are held for more than one year. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to complex limitations under the Code.

Potential Application of the PFIC Rules to the Arrangement

Qualification of Gammon Lake and Mexgold as PFICs

A foreign corporation generally will be a "passive foreign investment company" under section 1297 of the Code (a "PFIC") if, for a taxable year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the foreign corporation for such taxable year is passive income or (b) 50% or more of the assets held by the foreign corporation either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the fair market value of such assets. "Passive income" includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions. For transactions entered into after December 31, 2004, active business gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from "passive income" if substantially all of a foreign corporation's commodities are (a) stock in trade of such foreign corporation or other property of a kind which would properly be included in inventory of such foreign corporation, or property held by such foreign corporation primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) property used in the trade or business of such foreign corporation that would be subject to the allowance for depreciation under section 167 of the Code, or (c) supplies of a type regularly used or consumed by such foreign corporation in the ordinary course of its trade or business.

For purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if a foreign corporation owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another foreign corporation, the foreign corporation will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other foreign corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other foreign corporation. In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, "passive income" does not include any interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by a foreign corporation from a "related person" (as defined in section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person that is not passive income.

Mexgold believes that it was not a PFIC with respect to prior taxable years, and based on currently available information, Mexgold expects that it will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year. Based on currently available information, Gammon Lake expects that it will not be a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the day after the Effective Date. Whether Gammon Lake will be a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the day after the Effective Date depends on the assets and income of Gammon Lake over the course of such taxable year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this Circular. The determination of whether Mexgold or Gammon Lake was, or will be, a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the determination made by Mexgold or Gammon Lake concerning their respective PFIC status.


- 57 -

In the event that Mexgold currently is a PFIC or was a PFIC at any time during a U.S. Holder's holding period for the Common Shares, the effect of the PFIC rules on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to such U.S. Holder will depend on whether such U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat Mexgold as a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") under section 1295 of the Code (a "QEF Election"). In order to have made a timely and effective QEF Election with respect to Mexgold, a U.S. Holder must have made such QEF Election for the tax year that is the first year in such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Common Shares during which Mexgold qualified as a PFIC. In this summary, a U.S. Holder that has made a timely and effective QEF Election is referred to as an "QEF Electing Shareholder" and a U.S. Holder that has not made a timely and effective QEF Election is referred to as a "Non-QEF Electing Shareholder".

If a U.S. Holder has not made a timely and effective QEF Election, such U.S. Holder may qualify as a QEF Electing Shareholder by filing, on a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return (including extensions), a QEF Election and a "deemed sale election" to recognize, under the rules of section 1291 of the Code, any gain that such U.S. Holder would otherwise recognize if such U.S. Holder sold the Common Shares on the qualification date. The "qualification date" is the first day of Mexgold's tax year in which Mexgold qualified as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The deemed sale election may be made only if such U.S. Holder held Common Shares on the qualification date.

U.S. Holders should be aware that an attempted QEF Election will not be effective if Mexgold has not satisfied record keeping requirements that apply to a QEF, or has not supplied U.S. Holders with information that such U.S. Holders require to report under the QEF rules, with respect to each taxable year in which Mexgold was a PFIC. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding whether a QEF Election may be made with respect to Mexgold.

The effect of the PFIC rules on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to a U.S. Holder may also depend on whether such U.S. Holder has made a mark-to-market election under section 1296 of the Code (a "Mark-to-Market Election") with respect to the Common Shares. A U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election only if the Common Shares are marketable stock. The Common Shares generally will be "marketable stock" if the Common Shares are regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market. For this purpose, a "qualified exchange or other market" includes (a) a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (b) the national market system established pursuant to section 11A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or (c) a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located, provided that (i) such foreign exchange has trading volume, listing, financial disclosure, surveillance, and other requirements designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free, open, fair, and orderly market, and protect investors (and the laws of the country in which the foreign exchange is located and the rules of the foreign exchange ensure that such requirements are actually enforced) (ii) the rules of such foreign exchange effectively promote active trading of listed stocks. If the Common Shares are traded on such a qualified exchange or other market, the Common Shares generally will be "regularly traded" for any calendar year during which the Common Shares are traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding whether a Mark-to-Market Election may be made with respect to the Common Shares.

The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the PFIC rules and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.

Effect of PFIC Rules on the Arrangement as a Reorganization

In the event that Mexgold currently is a PFIC or was a PFIC at any time during a U.S. Holder's holding period for the Common Shares certain proposed Treasury Regulations under section 1291(f) of the Code (the "Proposed PFIC Regulations") may cause a U.S. Holder to recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (even though the Arrangement otherwise qualifies as a Reorganization). The effect of the Proposed PFIC Regulations on the exchange by a U.S. Holder of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will depend on whether such U.S. Holder is a QEF Electing Shareholder or a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder.


- 58 -

Non-QEF Electing Shareholders

Under the Proposed PFIC Regulations, a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder is not required to recognize gain upon a Reorganization if such Non-QEF Electing Shareholder exchanges stock in a PFIC for stock of the same or another foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the day after the exchange. However, under the Proposed PFIC Regulations, a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder will recognize gain (but not loss) upon a Reorganization if such Non-QEF Electing Shareholder exchanges stock in a PFIC for stock of another foreign corporation that does not qualify as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the day after the exchange.

As discussed above, based on currently available information, Gammon Lake expects that it will not be a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the day after the Effective Date.

If Gammon Lake does not qualify as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the day after the Effective Date, under the Proposed PFIC Regulations, a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder generally would recognize gain (but not loss) on the Arrangement (even though the Arrangement otherwise qualifies as a Reorganization). The amount of such gain recognized by a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder would be equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the fair market value of the Gammon Lake Common Shares received by such U.S. Holder pursuant to the Arrangement and (b) the tax basis of such U.S. Holder in the Common Shares exchanged pursuant to the Arrangement. Such gain recognized by a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder generally would (a) be allocated pro rata over such Non-QEF Electing Shareholder's holding period for the Common Shares, (b) be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest rate applicable to ordinary income in each such year, and (c) result in an interest charge on any U.S. federal income tax liability for each prior year, calculated as if such tax had been due with respect to such prior year.

If Gammon Lake does qualify as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the day after the Effective Date, assuming that the Arrangement qualifies as a Reorganization, the Proposed PFIC Regulations generally would not cause a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder to recognize gain on the exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

QEF Electing Shareholders

Under the Proposed PFIC Regulations, a QEF Electing Shareholder is not required to recognize gain upon a Reorganization. Accordingly, assuming that the Arrangement qualifies as a Reorganization, the Proposed PFIC Regulations generally would not cause a QEF Electing Shareholder to recognize gain on the exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

Mark-to-Market Electing Shareholders

The Proposed PFIC Regulations do not address whether a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder that has made a Mark-to-Market Election would be required to recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (even though the Arrangement otherwise qualifies as a Reorganization). Each U.S. Holder that has made a Mark-to-Market Election should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding how such Mark-to-Market Election may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement in the event that the Arrangement qualifies as a Reorganization.

PFIC Information Reporting

The Proposed PFIC Regulations require a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder to report certain information to the IRS on Form 8621 together with such Non-QEF Electing Shareholder's U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Arrangement occurs. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding its information reporting responsibilities under the Proposed PFIC Regulations in connection with the Arrangement.

Status of Proposed PFIC Regulations

The Proposed PFIC Regulations are currently drafted to be effective for transactions occurring on or after April 11, 1992. If the Proposed PFIC Regulations are adopted in their current form, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder should be as described above. However, because the Proposed PFIC Regulations have not been adopted in final form, the Proposed PFIC regulations are not currently effective and there can be no assurance that the Proposed PFIC regulations will be finally adopted in their current form or with the effective date proposed. The IRS has announced that, in the absence of final Treasury Regulations, taxpayers may apply reasonable interpretations of the provisions of the Code applicable to PFICs and that the rules set forth in the Proposed PFIC Regulations are a reasonable interpretation of those Code provisions.

Effect of PFIC Rules on the Arrangement as a Taxable Transaction

In the event that Mexgold currently is a PFIC or was a PFIC at any time during a U.S. Holder's holding period for the Common Shares and the Arrangement is treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the PFIC rules will apply to gain, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder on the exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. In addition, in the event that Mexgold currently is a PFIC or was a PFIC at any time during a U.S. Holder's holding period for the Common Shares, the PFIC rules will apply to gain, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder that exercises the right to dissent from the Arrangement and is paid cash for all of such U.S. Holder's Common Shares.

Non-QEF Electing Shareholders

Under the PFIC rules, gain recognized in the Arrangement by a Non-QEF Electing Shareholder generally would (a) be allocated pro rata over such Non-QEF Electing Shareholder's holding period for the Common Shares, (b) be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest rate applicable to ordinary income in each such year, and (c) result in an interest charge on any U.S. federal income tax liability for each prior year, calculated as if such tax had been due with respect to such prior year.

QEF Electing Shareholders

Gain or loss recognized in the Arrangement by a QEF Electing Shareholder generally would be treated as capital gain or loss.

Mark-to-Market Electing Shareholders

Gain or loss recognized in the Arrangement by a U.S. Holder that has made a Mark-to-Market Election generally would be treated as ordinary income or loss (limited, in the case of losses, to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount included in ordinary income for prior taxable years because of such Mark-to-Market Election over (b) the amount allowed as a deduction in computing adjusted gross income for prior taxable years because of such Mark-to-Market Election).

Information Reporting; Backup Withholding Tax

The exchange of Common Shares for Gammon Lake Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder's correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.

MEXICAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of the principal Mexican federal income tax considerations generally applicable to Canadian and U.S. Securityholders in respect of the Arrangement. This summary:


- 60 -

  • is based on the current provisions of the Mexican Income Tax Law (the "MITL"), the income tax treaty between Mexico and Canada (the "Canadian Treaty") and the income tax treaty between Mexico and the United States Tax (the "U.S. Treaty");
     
  • is based on the understanding that no person owns 25% or more of the Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options;
     
  • is based on the assumption that the Common Shares and the Mexgold Options are capital property to the holders thereof, and that such shares and options derive more than 50% of their value from immovable property situated in Mexico;
     
  • does not take into account or anticipate any legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial changes that may affect the validity of the comments set out herein;
     
  • is not binding on the Mexican tax authority, and such authority is not precluded from taking positions that differ from or are contrary to those expressed herein; and
     
  • is of a general nature only, and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular person. Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

General Rules

The exchange of Common Shares and Mexgold Options for Gammon Lake Common Shares and Gammon Lake Options, respectively, will constitute a disposition for Mexican income tax purposes. Under the MITL, persons who are non-residents of Mexico and who dispose of shares in a company that is also a Mexican non-resident will generally be subject to Mexican tax at a rate of 25% on the gross proceeds received on such disposition, if the shares derive more than 50% of their value from immovable property situated in Mexico (any such shares being hereinafter referred to as "Subject Shares"). Alternatively, eligible persons may appoint a legal representative in Mexico to pay the applicable taxes on a net basis (calculated at 29% of the net gain). That legal representative would also have to prepare and sign on the taxpayer's behalf the applicable tax return, and file with that return a certification by a Certified Public Accountant as to the nature of the transaction. If, however, the person is a resident of a country with which Mexico has entered into a tax treaty, that person may be relieved of its obligation to pay the foregoing Mexican tax, depending on the provisions of that treaty.

Canadian Residents

        Exchange of Common Shares

Since the Common Shares derive more than 50% of their value from immovable property situated in Mexico, the Common Shares qualify as Subject Shares. Under the Canadian Treaty, however, Shareholders who are Canadian residents will not be required to pay Mexican income tax in respect of the disposition of their Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. This is so because the Canadian Treaty does not permit Mexico to tax gains realized on the disposition of shares, if those shares are shares of a company (such as Mexgold) that is not a resident of Mexico.

        Exchange of Mexgold Options

The exchange of Mexgold Options by a Canadian-resident Securityholder will be treated in the same manner as an exchange of Common Shares by any such Securityholder.

U.S. Residents

        Exchange of Common Shares

U.S. residents who qualify for benefits under the U.S. Treaty and who dispose of Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will similarly be relieved from having to pay Mexican income tax in respect of such disposition. Like the Canadian Treaty, the U.S. Treaty does not permit Mexico to tax gains realized on the disposition of shares, if those shares are shares of a company that is not a resident of Mexico. Indeed, under the U.S. Treaty, even if the shares are considered shares of a Mexican-resident company, a U.S. resident will not be subject to Mexican tax on any gain realized on the disposition of such shares, unless, during the 12-month period preceding such disposition, that U.S. resident directly or indirectly owned more than 25% of the shares of the company.


- 61 -

        Exchange of Mexgold Options

The exchange of Mexgold Options by a U.S.-resident Securityholder will be treated in the same manner as an exchange of Common Shares by any such Securityholder.

Dissenting Shareholders

A Canadian or U.S. resident Securityholder that exercises the right to dissent from the Arrangement and is paid cash for their Common Shares will be treated in the same manner, for Mexican tax purposes, as an exchange of Common Shares by any such Securityholder.

Residents of Other Countries

Securityholders that are resident of countries other than Canada or the United States should consult with their own tax advisors as to the Mexican tax implications of a disposition by them of Common Shares and/or Mexgold Options pursuant to the Arrangement.

RISK FACTORS

The proposed combination of Gammon Lake and Mexgold is subject to certain risks, which should be carefully considered by Shareholders, including the following.

Risk Factors Relating to the Arrangement

Risks associated with a fixed exchange ratio

Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement, each Common Share will be exchanged for 0.47 Gammon Lake Common Shares, and each Mexgold Option will be exchanged for a Gammon Lake Option exercisable for that number of Gammon Lake Common Shares that is equal to the number of Common Shares that would otherwise have been issuable upon the exercise of the Mexgold Option multiplied by 0.47 (rounded down to the nearest whole Gammon Lake Common Share) at an exercise price per Gammon Lake Common Share equal to the exercise price of the applicable Mexgold Option divided by 0.47. This exchange ratio is fixed and it will not increase or decrease due to fluctuations in the market price of the Common Shares or Gammon Lake Common Shares. The market value of the consideration that Securityholders receive under the Arrangement will depend on the market price of the Gammon Lake Common Shares on the Effective Date. If the market price of the Gammon Lake Common Shares increases or decreases, the market value of the Gammon Lake Common Shares that Shareholders receive or that the Optionholders will receive on the exercise of their Gammon Lake Options will correspondingly increase or decrease. Many of the factors that affect the market prices of Gammon Lake Common Shares and Common Shares are beyond the control of Gammon Lake and Mexgold, respectively. These factors include changes in, or market perceptions of changes in, the business, operations or prospects of Gammon Lake and Mexgold, market assessments of the likelihood that the Arrangement will be completed, increases or decreases in the price of gold and silver, changes in the regulatory environment, political developments and general market and economic conditions.

Uncertainties associated with the Arrangement

The Arrangement will involve the integration of companies that previously operated independently. The Arrangement has been proposed with the expectation that its successful completion will result in cost savings by taking advantage of the synergies of consolidation and enhanced growth opportunities of the combined entity. An important factor in the success of the Arrangement will be the ability of the management of the combined entity in managing the combined entity and, if appropriate, integrating all or part of the operations, systems, technologies and personnel of the two companies following the completion of the transaction in an efficient and effective manner. Most operational and strategic decisions, and certain staffing decisions, with respect to the combined entity have not yet been made. The Arrangement and/or the integration of the two businesses can result in unanticipated operational problems and interruptions, expenses and liabilities, the diversion of management attention and the loss of key employees, customers or suppliers. There can be no assurance that the Arrangement and business integration will be successful or that the combination will not adversely affect the business, financial condition or operating results of the combined entity. In addition, the combined entity may incur charges related to the Arrangement and related to integrating the two companies. There can be no assurance that the combined company will not incur additional material charges in subsequent quarters to reflect additional costs associated with the Arrangement or that that the benefits expected from the Arrangement will be realized.


- 62 -

Failure to retain key employees of Mexgold could adversely affect Gammon Lake after the completion of the Arrangement.

The success of Mexgold is heavily dependent on its key personnel and on its ability to motivate, retain and attract highly skilled persons. The competition for qualified personnel is strong. Mexgold considers all of its senior officers to be key personnel but has not entered into employment agreements with or maintained key man life insurance on such persons. In order to attract and retain its key personnel, Mexgold has sought to provide its personnel with challenging work and a variety of opportunities for advancement through growth and expansion of Mexgold's business, and through equity participation. Although Mexgold expects that all key employees and key executives will remain with the company, the performance of Mexgold's operations after completion of the Arrangement could be adversely affected if the combined entity cannot retain key personnel.

Failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively affect Mexgold's share price, future business and operations.

Mexgold is subject to certain risks if the Arrangement is not completed, including the following: (a) the price of the Common Shares may decline to the extent that the relevant current market price reflects an assumption that the Arrangement will be completed; (b) certain costs related to the Arrangement, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisory fees, must be paid by Mexgold even if the Arrangement is not completed; (c) in certain instances, if the Arrangement is not completed, Mexgold may be required to reimburse Gammon Lake for all reasonable expenses incurred by Gammon Lake in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement, which could adversely affect Mexgold's financial condition; and (d) if the Arrangement is terminated and the Board of Directors decides to seek another business combination or merger, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than the price to be paid by Gammon Lake pursuant to the Arrangement.

As a result, Gammon Lake will become the direct holder of all of the issued and outstanding Mexgold Common Shares; provided that no fractional Gammon Lake Common Shares will be issued to any Mexgold Shareholder and the number of Gammon Lake Common Shares issuable to each Mexgold Shareholder on the completion of the Arrangement will be rounded up (if the fractional interest is 0.5 or more) or down (if the fractional interest is less than 0.5) to the nearest whole number of Gammon Lake Common Shares.

2.3           Pursuant to the Arrangement, each outstanding Mexgold Option will be exchanged for a Gammon Lake Option and the Mexgold Option will be cancelled, with each Gammon Lake Option being exercisable for that number of Gammon Lake Common Shares that is equal to the number of Common Shares that would otherwise have been issuable upon the exercise of the Mexgold Option multiplied by 0.47 (rounded down to the nearest whole Gammon Lake Common Share) at an exercise price per Gammon Lake Common Share equal to the exercise price of the applicable Mexgold Option divided by 0.47, provided that each such Gammon Lake Option will expire on the date on which the respective Mexgold Option was to expire pursuant to its terms.

2.4           Gammon Lake and Mexgold intend to adopt this Agreement as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.368-2(g) and to treat the Arrangement as a "reorganization" within the meaning of section 368(a)(1) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. However, Gammon Lake does not make any representation or warranty to Mexgold, any Mexgold Shareholder, any holder of Mexgold Options, or any holder of Mexgold Warrants regarding the qualification of the Arrangement as a "reorganization" within the meaning of section 368(a)(1) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

NON-SOLICITATION

12.1         From the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 16 hereof and (ii) the completion of the Arrangement, Mexgold shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, advisor, representative or agent, (a) solicit, initiate, facilitate, engage in or respond to or encourage (including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) any Acquisition Proposal; (b) encourage or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal; (c) accept, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal; or (d) cause Mexgold or any Subsidiary to enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding related to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the board of directors of Mexgold which receives an unsolicited and bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof in respect of it, from considering, negotiating, approving or recommending to its shareholders an Acquisition Proposal which the board of directors of Mexgold determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable laws, would, if consummated in accordance with its terms, result in a Superior Proposal.

12.2         From and after the date hereof, Mexgold shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated in writing any existing discussions or negotiations with any person (other than Gammon Lake) with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal and shall, subject to Section 12.4, cease to provide any other person with access to information concerning Mexgold and its Subsidiaries and exercise all rights it has to require the return or destruction of all confidential information.

(b)   provides Gammon Lake with an opportunity (but not the obligation), during the five business day period referred to in Subsection 13.1(a) to propose to amend this Agreement to provide for consideration having a value equivalent to or more favourable to the Mexgold Shareholders than that of the Superior Proposal with the result that the Superior Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal; and

(c)   subject to Section 13.2, terminates this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 16.1(c) and reimburse Gammon Lake as contemplated by Section 17.3.

13.2         In the event that Gammon Lake agrees to amend this Agreement in the manner described in Section 13.1, the Special Committee shall consider the terms of the proposed amendment, and: (i) if the board of directors of Mexgold concludes the Superior Proposal is no longer a Superior Proposal given the terms of the proposed amendment, Mexgold shall not implement the proposed Superior Proposal and shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 16.1(c), and shall agree to the proposed amendments to this Agreement; or (ii) if the board of directors of Mexgold concludes that the Acquisition Proposal would nonetheless remain a Superior Proposal,

15.3         The parties hereto mutually agree that if a party hereto proposes any other amendment or amendments to this Agreement or to the Plan of Arrangement, Mexgold on the one hand, and Gammon Lake on the other hand, will act reasonably in considering such amendment and if the other of them and the shareholders thereof are not


- B-34 -

ARTICLE 3
CERTIFICATES, PAYMENTS AND FRACTIONS

3.1            Delivery of Consideration.

(a)   At or promptly after the Effective Date, Gammon Lake will deposit with the Depositary the certificates evidencing the Gammon Lake Common Shares payable and issuable in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 hereof. Subject to Section 3.5, on and after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing Mexgold Common Shares (other than Mexgold Common Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Gammon Lake) shall cease to represent such shares and shall represent the right only to receive the consideration therefor specified in Section 2.2 in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement, subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this Article 3.

(b)   As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, upon the holder depositing with the Depositary certificates representing Mexgold Common Shares accompanied by a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, Gammon Lake shall cause the Depositary to deliver, to the registered holder or otherwise in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal, the share certificates evidencing the Gammon Lake Common Shares to which such holder is entitled in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement.

(c)   A holder of Mexgold Options at the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive an instrument representing the Gammon Lake Options to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the provisions hereof as soon as practical after the Effective Date upon delivery to Gammon Lake of such


-B-42 -

documents and instruments as Gammon Lake may reasonably require, and each and every certificate, document, agreement or other instrument, if any, formerly representing the Mexgold Options shall be and shall be deemed to be cancelled, void and of no further force and effect without any further authorization, act or formality. Gammon Lake shall register and make available or send by first class mail (postage prepaid) an instrument representing Gammon Lake Options to the last address of each former holder of Mexgold Options as registered in the books and records of Mexgold.

3.2             Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates. No dividends or other distributions declared or made effective after the Effective Time with respect to Gammon Lake Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate (which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Mexgold Common Shares) and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 3.3, unless or until the holder of such certificate shall surrender such certificate in accordance with Section 3.1. Subject to applicable law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, at the appropriate payment date), there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates, without interest:

(i)     the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to the Gammon Lake Common Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant hereto;

(ii)    on the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender, payable with respect to the Gammon Lake Common Shares.

3.3             No Fractional Shares or Options. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Gammon Lake Common Shares or Gammon Lake Options will be issued to former holders of Mexgold Common Shares or Mexgold Options and no dividend, stock split or other change in the capital structure of Gammon Lake shall relate to any such fractional security and such fractional interests shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote or to exercise any rights as a security holder of Gammon Lake. In the event that the consideration specified in Section 2.2 would otherwise result in a Mexgold Shareholder being entitled to a fractional Gammon Lake Common Share the number of Gammon Lake Common Shares issuable to such Mexgold Shareholder on the completion of the Arrangement will be rounded up (if the fractional interest is 0.5 or more) or down (if the fractional interest is less than 0.5) to the nearest whole number of Gammon Lake Common Shares. In the event that the consideration specified in Section 2.2 would otherwise result in a Mexgold Optionholder being entitled to a fractional Gammon Lake Option, such Mexgold Optionholder shall only receive that number of Gammon Lake Options as it is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.2 rounded down to the nearest whole Gammon Lake Option.

3.4             Lost Certificates. If any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Mexgold Common Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Article 2 hereof, has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will, subject to the terms hereof, issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a certificate representing Gammon Lake Common Shares payable in respect thereof. When authorizing such issuance in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom a certificate representing Gammon Lake Common Shares to be issued shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to the Depositary and Gammon Lake in such sum as Gammon Lake may reasonably direct or otherwise indemnify Gammon Lake, Mexgold and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to them against any claim that may be made against Mexgold, Gammon Lake or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

3.5             Unclaimed Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions hereof, any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Mexgold Common Shares (other than Mexgold Common Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Gammon Lake) that has not been surrendered with all other documents and instruments required by Article 3 on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature against Mexgold or Gammon Lake and the right of such holder to receive Gammon Lake Common Shares, shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Gammon Lake,


-B-43 -

together with all entitlements to dividends, distributions and any interest thereon held for such former holder, for no consideration.

3.6             Withholding Rights. Gammon Lake, Mexgold and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable to any holder of Mexgold Common Shares or Mexgold Options pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, such amounts as Gammon Lake, Mexgold or the Depositary determines it is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the ITA, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of any other applicable federal, provincial, territorial, state, local or foreign tax laws, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the securities in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

ARTICLE 4
RIGHTS OF DISSENT

4.1             Dissenting Mexgold Shareholders. Mexgold Shareholders may exercise rights of dissent with respect to Mexgold Common Shares held by them pursuant to and in the manner set forth in section 185 of the OBCA in connection with the Arrangement, as the same may be modified by the Interim Order or the Final Order ("Dissent Rights") as if that section (as modified) was applicable to such registered holders of Mexgold common shares. Mexgold Shareholders who exercise such rights to dissent and who:

(a)   are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their Mexgold Common Shares in respect of which they dissent shall be deemed to have transferred such shares to Mexgold for cancellation on the Effective Date immediately following completion of the steps described in Section 2.2; or

(b)   are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Mexgold Common Shares in respect of which they dissent, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting Mexgold Shareholder and shall be entitled to receive only the Gammon Lake Common Shares that such non-dissenting Mexgold Shareholders are entitled to receive, on the basis set forth in Section 2.2.

4.2             Holders. In no circumstances shall Mexgold, Gammon Lake or any other Person be required to recognize a person exercising Dissent Rights unless such person is a registered holder of the Mexgold Common Shares in respect of which such Dissent Rights are sought to be exercised.

4.3             Recognition of Dissenting Shareholders. Neither Mexgold, Gammon Lake nor any other person shall be required to recognize a Dissenting Shareholder as a registered or beneficial owner of Mexgold Common Shares at or after the Effective Time, and at the Effective Time the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the register of holders of Mexgold Common Shares maintained by or on behalf of Mexgold.

4.4             Dissent Right Availability. A registered holder is not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to Mexgold Common Shares if such holder votes (or instructs, or is deemed, by submission of any incomplete proxy, to have instructed his, her or its proxyholder to vote) in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

ARTICLE 5
GENERAL

5.1             Plan of Arrangement Amendment. Mexgold and Gammon Lake reserve the right to amend, modify and/or supplement this Plan of Arrangement at any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement must be contained in a written document which is: (i) agreed to by Gammon Lake and Mexgold pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, (ii) filed with the Court and, if made following the Mexgold Meeting, approved by the Court, and (iii) communicated to the Mexgold Shareholders and Mexgold Optionholders if and as required by the Court. Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be proposed by Mexgold or Gammon Lake at any time prior to or at the Mexgold Meeting with or without any other prior notice or communication and, if so proposed and accepted by the persons voting at the Mexgold Meeting (other than as may be required under the Interim Order), shall become part of this Plan of Arrangement for all purposes.

Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be made unilaterally by Gammon Lake and Mexgold following the Effective Date without the approval of the Mexgold Shareholders or Mexgold Optionholders, provided that it concerns a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of Gammon Lake and Mexgold, is of an administrative nature required to better give effect to the implementation of this Plan of Arrangement and is not adverse to the financial or economic interests of any Mexgold Shareholder or Mexgold Optionholder entitled to receive the consideration referred to in Section 1.2 hereof.

5.2             Paramountcy. From and after the Effective Time (i) this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all securities issued by Mexgold prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the rights and obligations of the Mexgold Shareholders, Mexgold Optionholders, in respect of their former Mexgold security holdings shall be solely as provided for in this Plan of Arrangement, and (iii) all actions, causes of actions, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent, and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to securities of Mexgold shall be deemed to have been settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth herein.

5.3             Termination. At any time up until the time the Final Order is made, Gammon Lake and Mexgold may mutually determine not to proceed with this Plan of Arrangement, or to terminate this Plan of Arrangement, notwithstanding any prior approvals given at the Mexgold Meeting. In addition to the foregoing, this Plan of Arrangement shall automatically and without notice, terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect, upon the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms.

The preparation of a valuation or fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily amenable to partial analysis or summary description. TD Securities believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying the Valuation and/or Fairness Opinion. Accordingly, this Valuation and Fairness Opinion should be read in its entirety.

OVERVIEW OF MEXGOLD

Mexgold is Nova Scotia based mining company engaged in the exploration, development, extraction and processing of gold and silver. Mexgold has three mining properties in Mexico and is currently focused on operating and developing them.

Mexgold holds a 100% interest in the El Cubo gold-silver mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico ("El Cubo") which consists of 58 exploitation and exploration concessions that cover approximately 8,000 hectares. The El Cubo mine operates as a multi-level underground mine with access ramps for mobile equipment and two vertical shafts for the hoisting of ore. Mexgold has been producing gold and silver from the El Cubo mine since Mexgold acquired the mine in March 2004. In addition, Mexgold is conducting exploration activities in the area around the El Cubo mine in order to increase production within the current El Cubo mine and to expand the resource base in areas outside of the current mine area.

Mexgold operates the Las Torres gold-silver mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico ("Las Torres") pursuant to a lease agreement. The Las Torres mine complex is located immediately adjacent to El Cubo and consists of 50 exploitation concessions encompassing approximately 6,400 hectares and four working mines: Cedros, Peregrina, Apolo and Sirena. Mexgold has been producing gold and silver from the Peregrina mine since October 2005.

Mexgold reports production from Las Torres with production from El Cubo. Currently all ore from both locations is obtained from underground operations through conventional drill and blast methods and is processed through three milling facilities with a combined total capacity of 1,400 tonnes per day. Mexgold has additional milling capacity of 2,200 tonnes per day that is not currently in use. For purposes of the Valuation, these operations are collectively referred to as "Mexgold Underground". Mexgold also has a conceptual plan to mine lower grade near surface gold and silver mineralization from open pits and recover the gold and silver using conventional heap leach methods. The heap leach would also be used to process some lower grade ores extracted from underground. For purposes of the Valuation, this planned operation is referred to as "Mexgold Heap Leach".

Mexgold holds a 100% interest in the Guadalupe y Calvo gold-silver exploration project in Chihuahua, Mexico ("Guadalupe"). Guadalupe consists of four concessions totaling approximately 436 hectares. Mexgold has launched a 30,000 meter exploration drilling program at Guadalupe focused on upgrading and expanding the property's resources.

Mexgold also incurs certain corporate overhead expenses that are not allocated to the foregoing operations and the Company's Mexican subsidiaries are subject to a Mexican law that requires them to pay 10% of their after tax profits to employees as a profit sharing plan. For purposes of the Valuation, these expenses are referred to as "Other Corporate Overhead" and "Profit Sharing", respectively.

TD Securities determined the fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares as part of the Valuation. For purposes of the Valuation, fair market value is defined as the monetary consideration that, in an open and unrestricted market, a prudent and informed buyer would pay a prudent and informed seller, each acting at arm's length with the other and under no compulsion to act. In accordance with the Policies, TD Securities has made no downward adjustment to the fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares to reflect the liquidity of the Mexgold Common Shares, the effect of the Arrangement, or the fact that the Mexgold Common Shares held by individual holders do not form part of a controlling interest. Values determined on the foregoing basis represent "en bloc" values, that is, values that an acquiror of 100% of the Mexgold Common Shares would be expected to pay in an open auction of the Company.

The Policies require that a formal valuation include a valuation of any non-cash consideration being offered as part of the transaction subject to the Policies, except in certain circumstances outlined in the Policies. TD Securities has therefore included a valuation of the Consideration as part of the Valuation. The Consideration of 0.47 of a Gammon Lake common share for each Mexgold Common Share is effectively a portion of a common share in the combined company formed by the business combination of

Gammon Lake and Mexgold as a result of the Arrangement. Upon completion of the Arrangement, former Mexgold Shareholders are expected to own approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the combined company. TD Securities believes that it is appropriate in the circumstances to determine the market trading value of the Consideration. The market trading value of the Consideration represents the anticipated settled trading value of the Consideration following implementation of the Arrangement and excludes the effect of changes in securities markets, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and economic, general business and financial conditions which generally influence the price of securities. Market trading values generally reflect minority discount values that are lower than en bloc values. The prohibitions in the Policies regarding downward adjustments to reflect liquidity, the effect of the Arrangement, or the fact that the securities being valued do not form part of a controlling interest described in the preceding paragraph apply only to the Mexgold Common Shares and do not apply to the valuation of the Consideration. However, TD Securities has determined the market trading value of the Consideration directly and has made no explicit downward adjustments for such effects.

APPROACH TO VALUE

The Valuation is based upon techniques and assumptions that TD Securities considers appropriate in the circumstances for the purposes of arriving at an opinion as to the range of fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares and the range of market trading value of the Consideration. Fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares and market trading value of the Consideration were analyzed on a going concern basis and were expressed as an amount per Mexgold Common Share.

VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

For purposes of determining the fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares and the market trading value of the Consideration, TD Securities relied primarily upon four methodologies:

1. net asset value ("NAV") analysis;

2. discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis;

3. comparable precedent transactions analysis; and

4. market trading multiples analysis.

TD Securities placed greatest emphasis on the NAV analysis. This approach involves attributing values to each of Mexgold and the combined company's assets and liabilities, as applicable, using assumptions and methodologies appropriate in each case and reflects the different risks, growth prospects and profitability of each major asset. As a result, NAV analysis is the fundamental method used to value mining assets and their associated liabilities which are, by their nature, each subject to a variety of unique factors. Precious metals mining companies generally trade at a multiple to their NAV (a "P/NAV Multiple") on an en bloc basis or on a market trading basis. Once the NAV of a mining company has been calculated, it can be adjusted to estimate either an en bloc value or a market trading value by applying an appropriate P/NAV Multiple. TD Securities has therefore used NAV analysis to estimate both the fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares and the market trading value of the Consideration by selecting an appropriate P/NAV Multiple in each case as more particularly described below.

TD Securities utilized DCF analysis as a methodology to determine the value of certain assets of Mexgold and the combined company as part of its NAV analysis but did not consider it appropriate to apply such analysis on a total company basis to either Mexgold or the combined company.

TD Securities utilized comparable precedent transactions analysis to determine the value of certain mining assets of Mexgold as part of its analysis of Mexgold's fair value. In addition, TD Securities applied comparable precedent transactions analysis to Mexgold on a segmented total company basis to estimate the fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares. Because comparable precedent transactions analysis calculates an en bloc value, TD Securities did not utilize this methodology to estimate the market trading value of the Consideration.

TD Securities applied market trading multiples analysis to the combined company on a segmented total company basis to estimate the market trading value of the Consideration. TD Securities also reviewed whether a market trading multiples analysis applied to Mexgold on a total company basis might imply values which exceed the values calculated by the NAV analysis and the comparable precedent transactions analysis. Based on this review, TD Securities concluded that the market trading multiples analysis implied values that were generally below the values determined by the other two methodologies. Given the foregoing and the fact that market trading prices generally reflect minority discount values rather than en bloc values, TD Securities did not rely on this methodology in determining the fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares.

Net Asset Value Analysis

The NAV approach involves separately considering each operating mine, development project, exploration opportunity, and financial or other assets and liabilities, including reclamation and closure costs, and the value of any unallocated corporate expenses whose individual values are estimated through the application of that methodology viewed as most appropriate in the circumstances. The NAV approach adopts a prospective view in regard to commodity prices and explicitly addresses the unique characteristics of each major asset and liability. The sum of total assets less total liabilities yields the NAV.

To value operating mines, development projects, and any unallocated corporate expenses, TD Securities relied primarily on a DCF analysis. Exploration assets were valued based on comparable precedent transactions analysis as there was insufficient information regarding the assets to make credible assumptions about future operations. Financial assets and liabilities were included in TD Securities' NAV analysis at their book value.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

The DCF approach calculates a value of an asset by taking into account the amount, timing and relative certainty of projected unlevered free cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The DCF approach requires that certain assumptions be made regarding, among other things, mine operating assumptions and future commodity prices to estimate the future unlevered free cash flows of the asset. The possibility that some of the assumptions will prove to be inaccurate is one factor involved in the determination of the discount rates used to discount the unlevered free cash flows to present values. The unlevered free cash flows and discount rates were considered on a real, constant dollar basis rather than on a nominal dollar basis.

As a basis for the development of the projected unlevered free cash flows, TD Securities reviewed unaudited projected operating and financial information for the assets and liabilities to which this methodology was applied for the remaining life of such assets and liabilities provided by management of Mexgold or Gammon Lake, as applicable (the "Management Forecasts"). TD Securities reviewed the relevant underlying assumptions including, but not limited to, ore tonnage mined and milled, ore grades, mining dilution factors, measured & indicated resource and inferred resource conversion factors, operating costs, capital expenditures and commodity prices. These assumptions were reviewed in comparison to sources considered relevant including detailed discussions with Mexgold and Gammon

Lake's senior management. From this review TD Securities developed its own base case operating forecasts (the "TD Securities Operating Forecasts"), formed independently with the benefit of its understanding of the assumptions behind the Management Forecasts. TD Securities then applied two different commodity price scenarios to the operating forecasts to develop low case and high case projected unlevered after tax free cash flows (collectively, the "TD Securities Financial Forecasts"). The low case and high case commodity price scenarios were developed by TD Securities based on consideration of current spot and forward commodity prices and various research publications prepared by equity research analysts. The low case and high case unlevered after tax free cash flows were then discounted to a present value using appropriate discount rates selected by TD Securities.

Comparable Precedent Transactions Analysis

TD Securities identified and reviewed 8 recent comparable precedent transactions involving junior gold mining companies that were in production or near production at the time of the transaction, and 11 recent comparable precedent transactions involving gold mining companies that were in the exploration or development stage, which were pending or had been concluded and for which there was sufficient public information to derive valuation multiples. Ideally, comparable precedent transactions considered would be comparable in terms of geographic location, operating characteristics, growth prospects, risk profile and size. TD Securities considered enterprise value to ounces of gold equivalent resource to be the primary valuation multiple when applying the comparable precedent transactions methodology. Due to the significant growth projected for Mexgold and the combined company's underground and heap leach operations in the TD Securities Financial Forecasts and the early stage of development of Guadalupe, valuation multiples based on near term operational and financial metrics such as ounces of gold equivalent production, EBITDA, cash flow and earnings were not considered relevant. Based on TD Securities' review of the transactions identified, TD Securities selected appropriate enterprise value to ounces of gold equivalent resource multiples and applied them to the applicable ounces of gold equivalent resources for Mexgold and the combined company's underground and heap leach operations and Guadalupe to estimate values for these assets.

Market Trading Multiples Analysis

TD Securities identified and reviewed 20 publicly traded gold companies that are in production or near production as of the date hereof, 11 of which are categorized as intermediate gold producers and 9 of which are categorized as junior gold producers, and 13 publicly traded gold companies that are in the exploration or development stage and are categorized as emerging producers as of the date hereof, and derived market trading multiples for such companies. Ideally, the public companies considered would be comparable in terms of geographic location, operating characteristics, growth prospects, risk profile and size. TD Securities considered enterprise value to ounces of gold equivalent resource to be the primary valuation multiple when applying the market trading multiples methodology. Due to the significant growth projected for Mexgold and the combined company's underground and heap leach operations in the TD Securities Financial Forecasts and the early stage of development of Guadalupe, market trading multiples based on near term operational and financial metrics such as ounces of gold equivalent production, EBITDA, cash flow and earnings were not considered relevant. Based on TD Securities' review of the publicly traded companies identified, TD Securities selected appropriate enterprise value to ounces of gold equivalent resource multiples and applied them to the applicable ounces of gold equivalent resources of the combined company's underground and heap leach operations and Guadalupe to estimate a value for the Consideration.

Benefits to a Purchaser of Acquiring 100% of the Mexgold Common Shares

TD Securities reviewed and considered whether any distinctive material value would accrue to Gammon Lake or any other purchaser through the acquisition of all of the Mexgold Common Shares. TD Securities concluded that there would be synergies available to Gammon Lake and to certain other mining industry participants that would potentially acquire 100% of the Mexgold Common Shares in order to achieve a business combination with Mexgold. Specifically, TD Securities considered synergies that might accrue as a result of: (i) savings of direct costs resulting from being a publicly-listed entity; (ii) savings of other corporate expenses including, but not limited to, senior management, legal, finance, and human resources expenses; and (iii) reduced operating costs and/or capital expenditures resulting from rationalizing such costs and expenditures between Mexgold's operations and the operations of the acquiror in the same geographic area. Based on discussions with management of Mexgold, TD Securities estimated the amount of synergies that would be achievable by Gammon Lake and the one-time costs required to achieve such synergies. TD Securities reflected such amounts in its valuation of the Consideration.

In assessing the amount of synergies to include in the valuation of the Mexgold Common Shares, TD Securities considered the amount of synergies that could be achieved by certain other mining industry participants that would potentially acquire 100% of the Mexgold Common Shares and the amount of synergies the successful acquiror (which might be Gammon Lake or one of the other mining industry participants) might pay for in an open auction of the Company. TD Securities believes that there are several other potential purchasers of Mexgold that could achieve synergies comparable in the aggregate to the synergies that could be achieved by Gammon Lake, although the specific source of the synergies would vary by potential purchaser. TD Securities concluded that the successful acquiror might pay for 50% of the synergies available to Gammon Lake and has therefore reflected 50% of the synergies available to Gammon Lake and 50% of the one-time costs required to achieve such synergies in its valuation of the Mexgold Common Shares. The following is a summary of 100% of the synergies achievable by Gammon Lake and the one-time costs required to achieve them that were reflected in the valuation of the Consideration together with the amount of such synergies and one-time costs that were reflected in the valuation of the Mexgold Common Shares:

VALUATION OF THE MEXGOLD COMMON SHARES

Net Asset Value Analysis

TD Securities' NAV analysis of the Mexgold Common Shares is discussed below broken down into 4 key components:

1. operating mines, development projects, and unallocated corporate expenses that were valued based on DCF analysis;

2. financial assets and liabilities that were included in the NAV analysis at book value;

3. P/NAV Multiple; and

4. exploration assets that were valued based on comparable precedent transactions analysis.

Operating Mines, Development Projects, and Unallocated Corporate Expenses

TD Securities relied primarily on a DCF analysis to value Mexgold's operating mines, development projects, and unallocated corporate expenses. Projected unlevered after tax real free cash flows were developed using the TD Securities Financial Forecast high case and low case commodity price scenarios for the following assets and liabilities of Mexgold: Mexgold Underground, Mexgold Heap Leach, Profit Sharing, and Other Corporate Overhead. The cash flows for all assets and liabilities except Mexgold Heap Leach were discounted to a present value at a real discount rate of 5.0%. TD Securities believes that this rate is appropriate to reflect the risks associated with such assets and liabilities and is consistent with rates used by financial analysts and industry participants in evaluating comparable assets and liabilities. To reflect the preliminary nature of the Mexgold Heap Leach open pit operating assumptions and the higher risks associated with this project, TD Securities selected a discount rate of 7.0% for this asset.

The following is a summary of TD Securities' DCF analysis of Mexgold's operating mines, development projects, and unallocated corporate expenses:

 

    Discount   Value
Major Asset Rate Low   High
(US$ millions unless otherwise noted)        
Mexgold Underground 5% $189.6   $219.1

Financial Assets and Liabilities

TD Securities included Mexgold's financial assets and liabilities in the NAV analysis at their book value as at March 31, 2006. Mexgold's financial assets and liabilities include cash and equivalents (including cash from the assumed exercise of options and warrants), short term investments, advances from related parties, long term debt, and future employee benefits. The following is a summary of Mexgold's financial assets and liabilities that were included in the NAV analysis:

Total Financial Assets and Liabilities $44.7

Price to NAV Multiple

The sum of the values of Mexgold's operating mines, development projects, unallocated corporate expenses, and financial assets and liabilities yields the NAV of Mexgold, excluding the Company's exploration assets (Guadalupe). In order to develop an en bloc value of the Mexgold Common Shares, TD Securities selected a P/NAV multiple range consistent with an en bloc analysis and applied it to the NAV of Mexgold, excluding Guadalupe. The P/NAV multiple range selected by TD Securities was based primarily on a review of the P/NAV multiples paid in the precedent transactions involving junior gold mining companies that were in production or near production at the time of the transaction that were reviewed by TD Securities and summarized in Appendix B.

Exploration Assets

TD Securities utilized comparable precedent transactions analysis to value Mexgold's Guadalupe gold-silver exploration project. The comparable precedent transactions involving gold companies and assets in the exploration or development phase which were identified and reviewed by TD Securities are summarized in Appendix C. The process of analyzing valuation multiples implied by comparable precedent transactions and applying these valuation multiples to Guadalupe involved certain judgments concerning the financial and operating characteristics of the companies and assets acquired in these transactions compared to Guadalupe. Given differences in the resource mix, deposit type, geographic location, and development risks inherent in the comparable precedent transactions identified, TD Securities did not consider any specific precedent transactions to be directly comparable to Guadalupe. However, based on a review of the financial and operating characteristics of the target entities compared to Guadalupe, TD Securities selected an appropriate enterprise value to gold equivalent ounce multiple range and applied this range to the gold equivalent ounces of resource identified for Guadalupe.

Comparable Precedent Transactions Analysis

TD Securities also utilized comparable precedent transactions analysis on a segmented total company basis to estimate the value the Mexgold Common Shares. Given the different stage of development of the Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach assets compared to the Company's Guadalupe exploration project, TD Securities valued such assets separately.

The comparable precedent transactions involving junior gold companies and assets that were in production or near production at the time of the transaction which were identified and reviewed by TD Securities are summarized in Appendix B. The process of analyzing valuation multiples implied by comparable precedent transactions and applying these valuation multiples to the Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach assets involved certain judgments concerning the financial and operating characteristics of the companies and assets acquired in these transactions compared to the Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach assets. Given differences in the resource mix, deposit type, geographic location, and development risks inherent in the comparable precedent transactions identified, TD Securities did not consider any specific precedent transactions to be directly comparable to the Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach assets. However, based on a review of the financial and operating characteristics of the target entities compared to Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach, TD Securities selected an appropriate enterprise value to gold equivalent ounce multiple range and applied this range to the gold equivalent ounces of resource identified for each of Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach.

VALUATION OF THE CONSIDERATION

Net Asset Value Analysis

TD Securities' NAV analysis of the Consideration is discussed below broken down into 4 key components:

1. operating mines, development projects, and unallocated corporate expenses that were valued based on DCF analysis;

2. financial assets and liabilities that were included in the NAV analysis at book value (including Mexgold's financial assets and liabilities);

3. P/NAV Multiple; and

4. exploration assets that were valued based on market trading multiples analysis.

As the methodology used in valuing Mexgold's assets has been discussed above, the valuation of the Consideration will focus on the incremental analysis of Gammon Lake's assets.

Operating Mines, Development Projects, and Unallocated Corporate Expenses

TD Securities relied primarily on a DCF analysis to value Gammon Lake's operating mines, development projects, and unallocated corporate expenses. Projected unlevered after tax real free cash flows were developed using the TD Securities Financial Forecast high case and low case commodity price scenarios for the following assets and liabilities of Gammon Lake: Ocampo Underground, Ocampo Heap Leach, and Other Gammon Corporate Overhead. The cash flows for all assets and liabilities were discounted to a present value at a real discount rate of 5.0%. TD Securities believes that this rate is appropriate to reflect the risks associated with such assets and liabilities and is consistent with rates used by financial analysts and industry participants in evaluating comparable assets and liabilities.

The following is a summary of TD Securities' DCF analysis of Gammon Lake's operating mines, development projects, and unallocated corporate expense. TD Securities utilized these values in the NAV analysis of the Consideration in addition to the previously determined DCF values for Mexgold's assets and liabilities.

(2) Impact on value of the Consideration estimated through the NAV analysis calculated with respect to the mid-point of the NAV value range
utilizing the mid-point P/NAV Multiple.      

Financial Assets and Liabilities

TD Securities included Gammon Lake's and Mexgold's financial assets and liabilities in the NAV analysis at their book value as at March 31, 2006. Gammon Lake's and Mexgold's financial assets and liabilities include cash and equivalents (including cash from the assumed exercise of options and warrants), short term investments, advances from or to related parties, long term debt, and future employee benefits. The following is a summary of Gammon Lake's and Mexgold's financial assets and liabilities which were included in the NAV analysis:

Price to NAV Multiple

The sum of the values of Gammon Lake's and Mexgold's operating mines, development projects, unallocated corporate expenses, and financial assets and liabilities yields the NAV of the combined company, excluding Mexgold's exploration assets (Guadalupe). In order to develop a market traded value of the combined company, TD Securities selected a P/NAV multiple range consistent with a market trading analysis and applied it to the NAV of the combined company, excluding Guadalupe. The P/NAV multiple range selected by TD Securities was based primarily on a review of the market trading P/NAV multiples of the intermediate and junior gold producers that were reviewed by TD Securities and summarized in Appendix D.

Exploration Assets

TD Securities utilized market trading multiples analysis to value Mexgold's Guadalupe gold-silver exploration project on a market trading basis. The market trading multiples of the emerging producer public gold companies which were identified and reviewed by TD Securities are summarized in Appendix D. The process of analyzing valuation multiples implied by comparable public companies and applying these valuation multiples to Guadalupe involved certain judgments concerning the financial and operating characteristics of the companies compared to Guadalupe. Given differences in the resource mix, deposit type, geographic location, and development risks inherent in the comparable companies identified, TD Securities did not consider any specific companies to be directly comparable to Guadalupe. However, based on a review of the financial and operating characteristics of the companies considered compared to Guadalupe, TD Securities selected an appropriate enterprise value to gold equivalent ounce multiple range and applied this range to the gold equivalent ounces of resource identified for Guadalupe. The following is a summary of TD Securities' market trading multiples analysis of Guadalupe:

Market Trading Multiples Analysis

TD Securities also utilized market trading multiples analysis on a segmented total company basis to estimate the value the Consideration. Given the different stage of development of the Ocampo Underground, Ocampo Heap Leach, Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach assets compared to Mexgold's Guadalupe exploration project, TD Securities valued such assets separately.

Given differences in the resource mix, deposit type, geographic location, and development risks inherent in the comparable companies identified, TD Securities did not consider any specific companies to be directly comparable to the Ocampo Underground, Ocampo Heap Leach, Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach assets. However, based on a review of the financial and operating characteristics of the comparable companies compared to Ocampo Underground, Ocampo Heap Leach, Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach, TD Securities selected an appropriate enterprise value to gold equivalent ounce multiple range and applied this range to the gold equivalent ounces of resource identified for Ocampo Underground, Ocampo Heap Leach, Mexgold Underground and Mexgold Heap Leach.

FAIRNESS OPINION

Approach to Fairness

In considering the fairness of the Consideration to be received by the Mexgold Minority Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement, TD Securities principally considered and relied upon:

(a)    a comparison of the market trading value of the Consideration to the fair market value of the Mexgold Common Shares as determined in the Valuation;

(b)  a comparison of the premiums implied by the Consideration to the trading prices of the Mexgold Common Shares prior to announcement of the Arrangement to the premiums implied by selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions; and

(c)   a comparison of the premiums implied by the Exchange Ratio to the trading exchange ratio of the Mexgold Common Shares and the Gammon Lake Common Shares prior to announcement of the Arrangement to the premiums implied by selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions.

Comparison of Values Determined in the Valuation

The fair market value of a Mexgold Common Share was determined to be in the range of $6.50 to $8.00 in the Valuation. The market trading value of the Consideration was determined to be in the range of $6.75 to $8.25 per Mexgold Common Share in the Valuation. TD Securities believes that when comparing the value of the Consideration to the value of the Mexgold Common Shares it is important to recognize that one significant assumption that contributed to the development of the range of values in each case was the use of low case and high case commodity price scenarios as part of the NAV analysis of the Mexgold Common Shares and of the Consideration. Any comparison of values should be done on the basis of a consistent commodity price forecast. As such, it would be inappropriate to compare the high end of the market trading value range of the Consideration to the low end of the fair market value range of the Mexgold Common Shares and vice versa. TD Securities noted, however, that the low end of the market trading value range of the Consideration exceeded the low end of the fair market value range of the Mexgold Common Shares, and that the high end of the market trading value range of the Consideration exceeded the high end of the fair market value range of the Mexgold Common Shares.

Analysis of Premiums Based on the Value of the Consideration

TD Securities calculated the premiums implied by the market trading value of the Consideration determined in the Valuation to the trading prices of the Mexgold Common Shares prior to announcement of the Arrangement and compared such premiums to the premiums implied by selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions. TD Securities considered premiums calculated based on the following periods: (i) closing price one day prior to the announcement, (ii) closing price one week prior to announcement, and (iii) closing price four weeks prior to announcement.

  High - $8.25 44.7% 50.0% 20.3%
         
(1) Based on 18 precedent transactions since January 1, 2004, identified by TD Securities in which a public gold mining company was acquired
  where the equity value of the target was greater than US$20 million.      
(2) Based on 28 precedent transactions since January 1, 2000, identified by TD Securities in which an acquirer owning at least 10% of a target
  successfully acquired the remaining interest in the target held by public shareholders and where the value of the remaining interest acquired
  was greater than $20 million.      

The range of premiums identified in the 46 transactions considered is very wide. Although each transaction has its own particular circumstances and TD Securities did not consider any specific transactions to be directly comparable to the Arrangement, TD Securities believes that the transactions considered, in the aggregate, provide a useful comparison benchmark. TD Securities noted that the four week premiums implied by the market trading value of the Consideration are significantly lower than the corresponding one day and one week premiums. TD Securities believes that the one day and one week premiums are more relevant in the circumstances and did not rely on the four week premiums. Based on the one day and one week premiums, TD Securities determined that (i) the premiums implied by the market trading value of the Consideration determined in the Valuation are within the range of the premiums implied by the selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions, and (ii) the premiums implied by the mid-point of the range of market trading value of the Consideration determined in the Valuation are consistent with or above the median and average premiums implied by the selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions.

Analysis of Premiums Based on the Exchange Ratio

TD Securities calculated the premiums implied by the Exchange Ratio of 0.47 to the trading exchange ratio of the Mexgold Common Shares and the Gammon Lake Common Shares prior to announcement of the Arrangement and compared such premiums to the premiums implied by selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions. TD Securities considered premiums calculated based on the following periods: (i) closing price one day prior to the announcement, (ii) closing price one week prior to announcement, and (iii) closing price four weeks prior to announcement.

  prices of the Mexgold Common Shares and the Gammon Lake Common Shares for the periods beginning on the specified day before the
  announcement of the Arrangement and ending one trading day prior to the announcement of the Arrangement.  

As noted previously, the range of premiums identified in the 46 transactions considered is very wide. Although each transaction has its own particular circumstances and TD Securities did not consider any specific transactions to be directly comparable to the Arrangement, TD Securities believes that the transactions considered, in the aggregate, provide a useful comparison benchmark. TD Securities determined that the premiums implied by the Exchange Ratio are within the range but below the average and median premiums implied by the selected precedent transactions involving gold mining companies and selected acquisition of remaining interest transactions.

Fairness Opinion Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, TD Securities is of the opinion that, as of May 28, 2006, the Consideration to be received by the Mexgold Minority Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Mexgold Minority Shareholders.

Yours very truly,

(d)     be continued under the laws of another jurisdiction under section 181; or

(e)     sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all its property under subsection 184 (3),

a holder of shares of any class or series entitled to vote on the resolution may dissent.

(2)         Idem. If a corporation resolves to amend its articles in a manner referred to in subsection 170 (1), a holder of shares of any class or series entitled to vote on the amendment under section 168 or 170 may dissent, except in respect of an amendment referred to in,

(a)     clause 170 (1) (a), (b) or (e) where the articles provide that the holders of shares of such class or series are not entitled to dissent; or

(b)     subsection 170 (5) or (6).

(3)         Exception. A shareholder of a corporation incorporated before the 29th day of July, 1983 is not entitled to dissent under this section in respect of an amendment of the articles of the corporation to the extent that the amendment,

(a)     amends the express terms of any provision of the articles of the corporation to conform to the terms of the provision as deemed to be amended by section 277; or

(b)     deletes from the articles of the corporation all of the objects of the corporation set out in its articles, provided that the deletion is made by the 29th day of July, 1986.

(4)         Shareholder's right to be paid fair value. In addition to any other right the shareholder may have, but subject to subsection (30), a shareholder who complies with this section is entitled, when the action approved by the resolution from which the shareholder dissents becomes effective, to be paid by the corporation the fair value of the shares held by the shareholder in respect of which the shareholder dissents, determined as of the close of business on the day before the resolution was adopted.

(5)         No partial dissent. A dissenting shareholder may only claim under this section with respect to all the shares of a class held by the dissenting shareholder on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the name of the dissenting shareholder.

(6)         Objection. A dissenting shareholder shall send to the corporation, at or before any meeting of shareholders at which a resolution referred to in subsection (1) or (2) is to be voted on, a written objection to the resolution, unless the corporation did not give notice to the shareholder of the purpose of the meeting or of the shareholder's right to dissent.

(7)          Idem. The execution or exercise of a proxy does not constitute a written objection for purposes of subsection (6).


- F-2 -

(8)         Notice of adoption of resolution. The corporation shall, within ten days after the shareholders adopt the resolution, send to each shareholder who has filed the objection referred to in subsection (6) notice that the resolution has been adopted, but such notice is not required to be sent to any shareholder who voted for the resolution or who has withdrawn the objection.

(9)         Idem. A notice sent under subsection (8) shall set out the rights of the dissenting shareholder and the procedures to be followed to exercise those rights.

(10)       Demand for payment of fair value. A dissenting shareholder entitled to receive notice under subsection (8) shall, within twenty days after receiving such notice, or, if the shareholder does not receive such notice, within twenty days after learning that the resolution has been adopted, send to the corporation a written notice containing,

(a)     the shareholder's name and address;

(b)     the number and class of shares in respect of which the shareholder dissents; and

(c)     a demand for payment of the fair value of such shares.

(11)         Certificates to be sent in. Not later than the thirtieth day after the sending of a notice under subsection (10), a dissenting shareholder shall send the certificates representing the shares in respect of which the shareholder dissents to the corporation or its transfer agent.

(12)         Idem. A dissenting shareholder who fails to comply with subsections (6), (10) and (11) has no right to make a claim under this section.

(13)         Endorsement on certificate. A corporation or its transfer agent shall endorse on any share certificate received under subsection (11) a notice that the holder is a dissenting shareholder under this section and shall return forthwith the share certificates to the dissenting shareholder.

(14)         Rights of dissenting shareholder. On sending a notice under subsection (10), a dissenting shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of the shares as determined under this section except where,

(a)     the dissenting shareholder withdraws notice before the corporation makes an offer under subsection (15);

(b)     the corporation fails to make an offer in accordance with subsection (15) and the dissenting shareholder withdraws notice; or

(c)     the directors revoke a resolution to amend the articles under subsection 168 (3), terminate an amalgamation agreement under subsection 176 (5) or an application for continuance under subsection 181 (5), or abandon a sale, lease or exchange under subsection 184 (8),

in which case the dissenting shareholder's rights are reinstated as of the date the dissenting shareholder sent the notice referred to in subsection (10), and the dissenting shareholder is entitled, upon presentation and surrender to the corporation or its transfer agent of any certificate representing the shares that has been endorsed in accordance with subsection (13), to be issued a new certificate representing the same number of shares as the certificate so presented, without payment of any fee.

(15)         Offer to pay. A corporation shall, not later than seven days after the later of the day on which the action approved by the resolution is effective or the day the corporation received the notice referred to in subsection (10), send to each dissenting shareholder who has sent such notice,

(a)     a written offer to pay for the dissenting shareholder's shares in an amount considered by the directors of the corporation to be the fair value thereof, accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined; or


- F-3 -

(b)     if subsection (30) applies, a notification that it is unable lawfully to pay dissenting shareholders for their shares.

(16)         Idem. Every offer made under subsection (15) for shares of the same class or series shall be on the same terms.

(17)         Idem. Subject to subsection (30), a corporation shall pay for the shares of a dissenting shareholder within ten days after an offer made under subsection (15) has been accepted, but any such offer lapses if the corporation does not receive an acceptance thereof within thirty days after the offer has been made.

(18)         Application to court to fix fair value. Where a corporation fails to make an offer under subsection (15) or if a dissenting shareholder fails to accept an offer, the corporation may, within fifty days after the action approved by the resolution is effective or within such further period as the court may allow, apply to the court to fix a fair value for the shares of any dissenting shareholder.

(19)         Idem. If a corporation fails to apply to the court under subsection (18), a dissenting shareholder may apply to the court for the same purpose within a further period of twenty days or within such further period as the court may allow.

(20)         Idem. A dissenting shareholder is not required to give security for costs in an application made under subsection (18) or (19).

(21)         Costs. If a corporation fails to comply with subsection (15), then the costs of a shareholder application under subsection (19) are to be borne by the corporation unless the court otherwise orders.

(22)         Notice to shareholders.

(a)     has sent to the corporation the notice referred to in subsection (10); and

(b)     has not accepted an offer made by the corporation under subsection (15), if such an offer was made,

of the date, place and consequences of the application and of the dissenting shareholder's right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel, and a similar notice shall be given to each dissenting shareholder who, after the date of such first mentioned notice and before termination of the proceedings commenced by the application, satisfies the conditions set out in clauses (a) and (b) within three days after the dissenting shareholder satisfies such conditions.

(23)         Parties joined. All dissenting shareholders who satisfy the conditions set out in clauses (22) (a) and (b) shall be deemed to be joined as parties to an application under subsection (18) or (19) on the later of the date upon which the application is brought and the date upon which they satisfy the conditions, and shall be bound by the decision rendered by the court in the proceedings commenced by the application.

(24)         Idem. Upon an application to the court under subsection (18) or (19), the court may determine whether any other person is a dissenting shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the court shall fix a fair value for the shares of all dissenting shareholders.

(25)         Appraisers. The court may in its discretion appoint one or more appraisers to assist the court to fix a fair value for the shares of the dissenting shareholders.

(26)         Final order.

(27)         Interest. The court may in its discretion allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each dissenting shareholder from the date the action approved by the resolution is effective until the date of payment.

(29)         Idem. Where subsection (30) applies, a dissenting shareholder, by written notice sent to the corporation within thirty days after receiving a notice under subsection (28), may,

(a)     withdraw a notice of dissent, in which case the corporation is deemed to consent to the withdrawal and the shareholder's full rights are reinstated; or

(b)     retain a status as a claimant against the corporation, to be paid as soon as the corporation is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the corporation but in priority to its shareholders.

(30)         Idem. A corporation shall not make a payment to a dissenting shareholder under this section if there are reasonable grounds for believing that,

(a)     the corporation is or, after the payment, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

(b)     the realizable value of the corporation's assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities.

(31)         Court order. Upon application by a corporation that proposes to take any of the actions referred to in subsection (1) or (2), the court may, if satisfied that the proposed action is not in all the circumstances one that should give rise to the rights arising under subsection (4), by order declare that those rights will not arise upon the taking of the proposed action, and the order may be subject to compliance upon such terms and conditions as the court thinks fit and, if the corporation is an offering corporation, notice of any such application and a copy of any order made by the court upon such application shall be served upon the Commission.

(32)         Commission may appear. The Commission may appoint counsel to assist the court upon the hearing of an application under subsection (31), if the corporation is an offering corporation.

COMPILATION REPORT ON PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Board of Directors of Gammon Lake Resources Inc.

We have read the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Gammon Lake Resources Inc. ("Gammon") as at March 31, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, the five months ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended July 31, 2005, and have performed the following procedures:

1.    Compared the figures in the columns captioned "Gammon Lake Resources Inc." to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Gammon as at March 31, 2006 and for the three months then ended, the audited consolidated statement of operations of Gammon for the five months ended December 31, 2005, and the audited consolidated statement of operations of Gammon for the year ended July 31, 2005, respectively, and found them to be in agreement.

2.    Compared the figures in the columns captioned "Mexgold Resources Inc." to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Mexgold Resources Inc. as at March 31, 2006 and for the three months then ended, the unaudited constructed consolidated financial statements of Mexgold Resources Inc. for the five months ended December 31, 2005, and the unaudited constructed financial statements of Mexgold Resources Inc. for the year ended July 31, 2005, respectively, and found them to be in agreement.

3.    Made enquiries of certain officials of Gammon who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about:

(a)    The basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and

(b)    Whether the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the securities acts of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Acts") and related regulations.

The officials:

(a)    described to us the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments, and

(b)    stated that the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the Acts and related regulations.

4.    Read the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, and found them to be consistent with the basis described to us for determination of the pro forma adjustments.

5.    Recalculated the application of the pro forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the columns captioned "Gammon Lake Resources Inc." and "Mexgold Resources Inc." as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2006, for the five months ended December 31, 2005 and for the year ended July 31, 2005, as appropriate, and found the amounts in the column captioned "Pro Forma Consolidated Gammon Lake Resources Inc." to be arithmetically correct.

These pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on management assumptions and adjustments which are inherently subjective. The foregoing procedures are substantially less than either an audit or a review, the objective of which is the expression of assurance with respect to management's assumptions, the pro forma adjustments, and the application of the adjustments to the historical financial information. Accordingly, we express no such assurance. The foregoing procedures would not necessarily reveal matters of significance to the pro forma consolidated financial statements, and we therefore make no representation about the sufficiency of the procedures for the purposes of a reader of such statements.

Gammon Lake Resources Inc.
Pro Forma Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Operations (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Gammon Lake Resources Inc. ("Gammon") as at March 31, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, the five months ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended July 31, 2005 (the "Pro Forma Statements") have been prepared for inclusion in the Management Information Circular of Mexgold Resources Inc. ("Mexgold") dated as of June 28, 2006 (the "Information Circular") relating to the Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement") under which Gammon will acquire Mexgold Resources Inc. ("Mexgold"). Pursuant to the Arrangement, Gammon will acquire all of the outstanding shares and options of Mexgold excluding the 13,850,000 shares currently held. Each Mexgold share will be exchanged for 0.47 shares of Gammon. Completion of the Arrangement, which is expected to occur in August, 2006 and has been approved by both Board of Directors, is subject to conditions usual to transactions of this nature, including court and regulatory approvals, and must be approved by the shareholders and optionholders of Mexgold by at least two-thirds of the votes cast in person and by proxy and at least a majority of the votes cast by the minority shareholders present in person or by proxy, at a special meeting of Mexgold shareholders called for July 28, 2006.

The Pro Forma Statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2005 audited consolidated financial statements of Gammon. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the assumed transactions and assumptions as if they occurred at the date of the balance sheet and the pro forma consolidated statements of operations gives effect to the assumed transactions as if they occurred on August 1, 2004. The pro forma adjustments reflect the Arrangement using the purchase method and are based on available information and certain estimates and assumptions. The actual adjustments to the consolidated financial statements of Gammon at closing will depend on a number of factors including changes in net book values of the entities between March 31, 2006 and the effective date of the Arrangement. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments. Management of Gammon believes that the assumptions used provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the transaction and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are appropriately applied in the Pro Forma Statements. The Pro Forma Statements contain no immediate synergies or expenses that would positively or negatively impact existing operations. The Pro Forma Statements are not indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the events reflected therein had been in effect on the date indicated or of the results which may be obtained in the future. No attempt has been made to conform the accounting policies of Gammon and Mexgold for purposes of these pro forma statements.

These pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Gammon for the five months ended December 31, 2005, the consolidated financial statements of Mexgold for the eight months ended December 31, 2005, the consolidated financial statements of Gammon for the year ended July 31, 2005, the consolidated financial statements of Mexgold for the year ended April 30, 2005 and the three months ended July 31, 2005 and 2004, as well as the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Gammon and Mexgold for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The statement of operations of Mexgold for the five months ended December 31, 2005, and for the year ended July 31, 2005 have been constructed from the audited and unaudited financial statements referred to above.

2. Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2006 gives effect to the following assumed transactions and assumptions as if they had taken place at that date.

a)    Under the Arrangement, Mexgold shareholders will receive consideration of 0.47 Gammon common shares for a total of 21,786,333 Gammon shares. The business combination will be accounted for using the purchase method.

The proposed acquisition will be funded by the issuance of Gammon common shares. The value ascribed to the common shares of $14.14 per share is based on the average closing price of Gammon common shares over a

In the presentation of these pro forma consolidated financial statements, the purchase consideration has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management's best estimates and taking into account all relevant information available at the time these statements were prepared. Gammon expects the actual amounts for each of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired will vary from the pro forma amounts and that the variation may be material.

Transaction costs related to the proposed acquisition are estimated at $3,600,000. There are no finders fees payable on successful conclusion of the Arrangement nor are there any break-up fees.

b)    Related party balances have been adjusted to reflect the proposed acquisition, and historical related party transactions have been eliminated.

c)    The future income tax liability on the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been determined on the basis of the difference between the net book values of the assets and liabilities assumed and Gammon's estimated tax bases after the completion of the proposed transaction. The proposed acquisition of Mexgold will result in an estimated future tax liability of $65,537,024. The estimated liability has been calculated using enacted future tax rates.

d)    Shareholders' equity has been adjusted to reflect the proposed acquisition of Mexgold and historical deficit of Mexgold have been eliminated.

e)    The long term investment in Mexgold has been eliminated against capital stock with an adjustment to the accumulated deficit to reflect the impact of Gammon's share of Mexgold's losses incurred to March 31, 2006, reported under equity accounting.

3. Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, the five months ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended July 31, 2005 give effect to the following assumed transactions and assumptions as if they had taken place January 1, 2006, August 1, 2005 and August 1, 2004 respectively.

a)    Depletion has been adjusted to reflect the depletion of the mining interests acquired.

b)    Management fees charged to and incurred by Mexgold have been eliminated.

c)    Amortization of deferred stock compensation over the remaining term of the replacement options issued to Mexgold employees.

d)    The future income tax recovery has been calculated on the foregoing adjustments using the tax rates expected to be in effect.

4. Pro Forma Loss Per Share

The pro forma loss per share figures have been calculated assuming the issuance of the 21,786,333 Gammon shares pursuant to the Arrangement:

a) Gammon weighted average shares outstanding March 31, 2006 78,880,874
     
  Pro Forma weighted average shares outstanding March 31, 2006 100,667,207
     
b) Gammon weighted average shares outstanding December 31, 2005 73,831,114
     
  Pro Forma weighted average shares outstanding December 31, 2005 95,617,447
     
c) Gammon weighted average shares outstanding July 31, 2005 66,002,431
     
  Pro Forma weighted average shares outstanding July 31, 2005 87,788,764

Summary Description of Business

Gammon Lake is a mineral exploration and development company engaged in the exploration for and development of gold and silver deposits in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. Gammon Lake also owns approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Mexgold.


- H-3 -

Gammon Lake owns the Ocampo gold-silver mine and exploration property (covering approximately 10,000 hectares and an operating underground and open pit mine) in the Chihuahua State, Mexico (the "Ocampo Project").

Seven of the concessions are held under option from subject Minera Fuerte Mayo, S.A. de C.V. ("Fuerte") pursuant to a joint venture agreement dated February 21, 2003 (the "Minera Fuerte Buy-Out Agreement"). Under this agreement Gammon Lake granted to Fuerte an 8% net profits royalty up to the maximum of US$2,000,000. An additional US$250,000 is due if, as a result of exploration of the property, a minimum mining reserve of two million ounces of equivalent gold is obtained, as determined by an independent third party consulting firm of international repute which is mutually acceptable to the parties thereto. If Gammon Lake sells the property, the full US$2,000,000 becomes dues and payable at that time.

Another 17 of the concessions are held under option from Minerales de Soyopa, S.A. de C.V. ("Soyopa") pursuant to an agreement dated March 1, 2000 and amended on August 17, 2000, April 24, 2001 and November 24, 2001 (as amended, the "Soyopa Agreement"). To date all of the terms of the Soyopa Agreement has been met and only the following terms are outstanding. Gammon Lake is required to make an additional payment of US$7,000,000. This payment can be made in two separate instalments with US$3,500,000 to be paid on or before November 23, 2006 and the remaining US$3,500,000 to be paid on or before November 23, 2007 except if the property is placed into production prior to November 23, 2006, in which case an annual advance payment of US$1,000,000 shall be made to Soyopa which will be credited against the US$7,000,000 obligation and, if the property is sold to a third party, the balance of US$7,000,000 shall be due and owing immediately. The obligation to complete the payment of US$7,000,000 is secured by a charge registered on the mining concessions. In a related arm's length agreement with Compania Minera Global S.A. de C.V. ("Minera Global") dated July 17, 2000, pursuant to which consulting services were provided with respect to the Soyopa Agreement, a balance of US$1,000,000 is due to Minera Global upon the sale of the Ocampo Project.

The concessions are for mineral rights only and Gammon Lake has secured the surface rights in the current areas of interest. On March 20, 2002, Gammon Mexico and Soyopa entered into a surface rights lease with the Common Land (Ejido) Commissariat covering the mining concessions of Gammon Mexico and Soyopa. This agreement covers approximately 2,000 hectares. The agreement is for 30 years for the initial and only payment of US$20,000. The agreement has been registered with the National Agrarian Registry.

It should be noted that some small concessions, held by others, exist within Gammon Lake's concession blocks. These concessions are not in areas of significant mineralization and are not expected to materially and adversely impact the Ocampo Project.

For additional information on the Ocampo Project, Shareholders should refer to "Item 3: Description of Business" in the Annual Information Form.

Recent Developments

On November 29, 2004, Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, Consulting Engineers ("KCA") prepared a bankable feasibility study on the Ocampo Project. The bankable feasibility study is dated November 29, 2004 and entitled "Ocampo, Chihuahua, Underground and Surface Mines Mill and Heap Leach - Bankable Feasibility Study" (the "KCA Report"). The executive summary of the KCA Report is reproduced in the Annual Information Form. The full text of the KCA Report is available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com. The KCA Report estimated an annual average production on the project of 170,000 ounces of gold and 6.2 million ounces of silver, at an average cash cost of US $151.74 per gold-equivalent ounce, and an internal rate of return of 65%.

In February 2005, Gammon Lake assembled a mine development and operations team to place the project into production, with Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, Consulting Engineers appointed for mill and heap leach construction and commissioning. Ground breaking for the construction of the open-pit mines and two surface processing facilities began in early March 2005, with all underground and open-pit mining equipment procured. The mill facilities for processing the underground ore are now under construction. The refinery portion of the mill has been completed and construction of the remaining mill components is proceeding as per the construction schedule set out in the KCA Report.


- H-4 -

In December 2005, Gammon Lake announced the completion of an updated resource / reserve determination for the Ocampo property which was prepared by Mintec, Inc. ("Mintec") of Tucson, Arizona. Based on revised mineralized ore zones/veins using the additional information from new drilling and trenching by Gammon Lake, the revised estimate calculated proven and probable reserves of 4,190,000 ounces of gold equivalent, measured and indicated resources of 5,097,000 ounces of gold equivalent, as well as an additional 5,687,000 ounces of gold equivalent in the inferred category. This represents an 86% increase in proven and probable reserves and a 68% increase in measured and indicated resources from those developed for the KCA Report. Mintec prepared a written report entitled "Gammon Lake Resources Inc. Ocampo Deposit Mineral Resources & Reserves Technical Report - January 2006" (the "Mintec Report"). A summary of the Mintec Report is reproduced in the Annual Information Form. The full text of the Mintec Report is available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com. The following tables summarize the mineral resource and reserve calculations of the Mintec Report.

On February 1, 2006, Gammon Lake poured its first doré bars from the Ocampo Project. In the first year of production the Ocampo open pit mine is expected to produce 136,735 ounces of gold and 3,979,826 ounces of silver, equating to 203,065 gold equivalent ounces. Total first year commercial production at Ocampo, including from underground operations is expected to exceed 300,000 gold-equivalent ounces (190,000 ounces of gold and 6.6-million ounces of silver). Exploration and development work is ongoing to expand known mineral resources and identify new mineral resources.

In February 2006 Gammon Lake announced it had that it had been awarded, through government lottery, an additional 6,000-hectares surrounding the Ocampo property. The consolidation of this new mineral concession with Gammon Lake's existing land holdings (42 concessions covering approximately 3,500 hectares) has resulted in Gammon Lake holding 100% control of approximately 10,000 hectares.

As of May 7, 2006, Gammon Lake had placed 587,534 tonnes of ore on the heap leach pad, averaging 1.24 grams per tonne of gold and 47.19 grams per tonne of silver. Using recovery rates established in the feasibility study of 87% for gold and 72% for silver, this would equate to 23,365 ounces of gold and 891,364 ounces of silver, recoverable, minus recoveries to date. Using recent metal prices of US$682 per ounce of gold and US$12.43 per ounce of silver, recoverable ore on the heap leach is valued at approximately US$27 million. Gammon Lake is ramping up production and is currently stacking between 10,000 and 12,000 tpd on the heap leach pad.

During May 2006, the Ocampo heap leach produced 7,729 gold equivalent ounces (5,737 ounces of gold and 101,605 ounces of silver), based on actual gold and silver prices realized upon sale. During the month of May, Gammon Lake mined an average 14,829 tonnes of ore per day and is currently stacking approximately 10,000 to 12,000 tonnes of ore per day on the heap leach pad. Metallurgical test work indicates that the heap leach has a 120-day recovery cycle on ore stacked and placed under leach. It is expected that production will continue to accelerate over the coming months, with the heap leach reaching full commercial production during the month of September, 2006. Gammon Lake estimates full production from the heap leach at an average of 136,735 ounces of gold and 3,979,826 ounces of silver per year using 13,000 tonnes per day of ore stacked on the heap leach. Total first year commercial production at Ocampo, including underground operations is expected to exceed 190,000 ounces of gold and 6.6-million ounces of silver. Construction of the Ocampo 1,500 tonne per day mill is on schedule for first ore processing during the month of July, 2006.

On October 14, 2005, Gammon Lake secured a credit facility with Scotia Capital Inc. The facility is secured and consists of a two-year revolving facility of US$40,000,000, and a three year revolving facility of US$20,000,000. Interest is payable at Prime Rate plus 1.25% or in the case of US dollar advances, LIBOR + 2.25%. See Note 6 to Gammon Lake's audited annual financial statements for the five months ended December 31, 2005. In order to preserve Gammon Lake's corporate budget for production start-up at the Ocampo Mine and fund the Mexgold warrant exercise, this credit facility was increased to US$67.5 million during the first quarter of 2006. On May 19, 2006, Gammon Lake signed a definitive agreement with Scotia Capital and Société Générale for an additional US$40,000,000 increase to the credit facility. The increased facility bears interest at the same interest rates as the original facility. Proceeds from this facility will be applied to remaining costs related to the project including completion of the mill facilities, working capital costs, corporate development and exploration programs. As disclosed in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2006, certain of the covenants and repayment terms were renegotiated in Gammon Lake's favour to allow for robust cash flow from operations for future corporate development and exploration activities. Under the restructured repayment schedule, payments of US$8,750,000 are due on a quarterly basis with the first payment scheduled for December 31, 2006.


- H-6 -

During 2005, Gammon Lake changed its year end from July 31 to December 31. For more details, Shareholders should refer to the MD&A to the audited financial statements for the five months ended December 31, 2005.

On May 11, 2006, Gregory K. Liller resigned from the Board of Directors and from the office of Vice-President, Exploration. Except for the resignation of Mr. Liller, the directors and officers of Gammon Lake are as set out under "Section II - Business of the Meeting - Election of Directors", "Officers of the Corporation" under "Section III - Executive Compensation and Other Information - Officers", and "Section IV - Corporate Governance" in the Gammon Management Circular.

At the annual and special meeting of shareholders of Gammon Lake held on May 10, 2006, the disinterested shareholders of Gammon Lake approved increasing the maximum number of common shares reserved for grants of options under Gammon Lake's stock option plan for directors, officers, employees and consultants from 19,500,000 to 22,500,000 Gammon Lake Common Shares. The disinterested shareholders also approved the grant of a total of 2,445,000 options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Gammon Lake that were made before the above-mentioned amendment to the stock option plan.

A total of 79,335,724 common shares are issued and outstanding as at June 28, 2006. There are no Class A or Class B preferred shares currently outstanding.

Each common share ranks equally with all other common shares with respect to dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Gammon Lake and payment of dividends. The holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters to be voted on by such holders and are entitled to receive pro rata such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors of Gammon Lake out of funds legally available therefor and to receive pro rata the remaining property of Gammon Lake on dissolution.

Any amendment to the articles of Gammon Lake to vary any rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attaching to the Class A or Class B preferred shares must, in addition to authorization by special resolution, be authorized by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting of holders of Class A or Class B preferred shares duly called for such purpose, each holder being entitled to one vote for each preferred share held.

Corporate Structure

Mexgold was formed under the laws of the Province of Alberta by articles of incorporation dated April 28, 1993, under the name, "Skymore Resources Inc.". By articles of continuance dated November 21, 2001, Mexgold continued its corporate charter from the Province of Alberta to the Province of Ontario. By articles of amendment dated November 20, 2001, the company changed its name from "Skymore Resources Inc." to "Seven Clans Resources Ltd.", and consolidated its issued and outstanding shares on the basis of one (1) common share for every three (3) common shares outstanding at that time. By articles of amalgamation dated April 30, 2002, the company amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Seven Clans Resources Ltd. to continue as, "Seven Clans Resources Ltd.". By articles of amendment dated May 27, 2003, the company consolidated its issued and outstanding shares on the basis of one (1) common share for every two (2) common shares outstanding at that time. By articles of amalgamation dated May 27, 2003, the company amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mexgold Resources Inc. to continue as, "Mexgold Resources Inc.".

The Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSXV under the trading symbol, "MGR". The principal and registered office of Mexgold is currently located at Suite 306, Cambridge 2, 202 Brownlow Avenue, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, B3B 1T5 and will be changed to 1601 Lower Water Street, Suite 402, Summit Place, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2P8 in the first week of July 2006.

The following diagram depicts the organizational structure of Mexgold and its significant subsidiaries, the percentage of voting securities owned by Mexgold in each subsidiary, and the location of the material properties in the structure.

General Development of the Business

On May 23, 2003, Mexgold's predecessor Seven Clans Resources Ltd. acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mexgold Resources Inc., a private Ontario company that owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of Metales Interamericanos, S.A. de C.V. ("Metales"). Metales in turn was the owner of five concessions in Chihuahua State, Mexico, comprising the Guadalupe y Calvo gold-silver exploration property. The transaction constituted a reverse take-over of Seven Clans Resources Ltd. by Mexgold Resources Inc. Immediately following the acquisition, Seven Clans Resources Ltd. and Mexgold Resources Inc. amalgamated to form Mexgold.

On September 18, 2003, the Common Shares began trading on the TSXV under the symbol "MGR".

On February 27, 2004, Mexgold completed a private placement of 22,500,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") for gross proceeds of $45,000,000. The private placement was carried out to finance the acquisition of Compania Minera del Cubo, S.A. de C.V. ("El Cubo") which owns the El Cubo gold-silver mine


- I-3 -

located in Guanajuato State, Mexico. Each Subscription Receipt represented the right to receive one Unit upon completion of the acquisition of the El Cubo gold-silver mine. Each Unit consisted of one common share of Mexgold and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant entitled the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $2.50 per share until February 26, 2006. On March 5, 2004, Metales completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of El Cubo for a purchase price of US$13,571,500. Upon the completion of the El Cubo acquisition, all of the Subscription Receipts were automatically exercised for Common Shares and common share purchase warrants. Between March 5, 2004 and March 15, 2006, all of the foregoing warrants were exercised to acquire 11,250,000 Common Shares for total proceeds of $28,125,000.

In 2004, the ownership of Mexgold's subsidiaries was subsequently reorganized so that both Metales and El Cubo are now owned directly by Mexgold.

In September 2004, Metales entered into a mining lease agreement with Compania Minera Las Torres, S.A. de C.V.

("Torres"). Pursuant to the agreement, Metales acquired the right to explore, develop and mine the Las Torres gold-silver property located in Guanajuato State, Mexico, for a five-year period, subject to renewal for a further five year period. The annual lease payments equal US$720,000 per year. Mexgold has provided a letter of credit in the amount of US$1 million in favour of the fulfilment of the terms and conditions as set forth in the mining lease agreement. In addition, Metales is required to pay a 3.5% net smelter return royalty on all gold and silver sales at a price equal to or above US$350 per gold ounce and US$5.50 per silver ounce, with a minimum monthly royalty of US$20,000. Mexgold paid the first year payment in advance in the amount of US$240,000. The royalty will gradually decrease to a 3.0% net smelter return for sales of gold and silver at a price at or below US$300 per gold ounce and US$5 per silver ounce. The Las Torres property commenced production during the November 2005.

The Las Torres lease was subsequently transferred to El Cubo, as were the concessions making up the Guadalupe y Calvo property. All of Mexgold's Mexican properties are now held through El Cubo.

During 2005, Mexgold changed its fiscal year-end from April 30 to December 31 to make Mexgold's reporting period consistent with that of other precious metal producing issuers. For more details, Shareholders should refer to the MD&A to the audited financial statements for the eight months ended December 31, 2005.

The following table summarizes the monthly production from the El Cubo mine for the first quarter of 2006.

Month

Gold Ounces Produced Silver Ounces Produced

3,382 177,515

February 2006

3,259 153,463

March 2006

4,002 165,805

During May 2006, Mexgold produced 3,571 ounces of gold and 128,675 ounces of silver from the El Cubo - Las Torres mine complex.

On April 21, 2006, Mexgold announced the results of a resource and reserve estimation for mineral deposits contained within the El Cubo and Las Torres Project Areas. The calculation completed by Mexgold and audited by Glenn R. Clark and Associates and Glenn R. Clark, P.Eng, a qualified person under NI 43-101, estimated the proven and probable reserves to be 4.65-million tonnes grading 3.24 grams per tonne gold and 183 grams per tonne silver, containing 484,234 ounces of gold and 27,347,755 ounces of silver (949,958 gold equivalent ounces). This equates to a mine life of 10 years based on a production rate of 1,320 tpd (467,280 tonnes per year). Total measured and indicated resources have been estimated at 5.37-million tonnes grading 4.01 grams per tonne gold and 187 grams per tonne silver, containing 692,833 ounces of gold and 32,234,137 ounces of silver (1,241,770 gold equivalent ounces). An additional 7.53-million tonnes, grading 3.51 grams per tonne gold and 172 grams per tonne silver remains in the inferred category, and contains 849,272 ounces of gold and 41,703,051 ounces of silver (1,559,462 gold equivalent ounces).

On April 21, 2006, Mexgold announced the results of eight new exploration drill holes from Mexgold's 100% owned Guadalupe y Calvo Gold-Silver Project, located in Chihuahua, Mexico. Exploration work at this property has previously returned positive results, and these eight new holes returned 10 intercepts above a 3.0 gram per tonne cut off grade.

Description of the Business

Mexgold is in the business of gold and silver mining, including exploration, development, extraction and processing. Mexgold has the following three mining properties and is currently focused on operating and developing them.

1.    The El Cubo gold-silver mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico: Through El Cubo, Mexgold holds a 100% interest in the El Cubo mine, consisting of 58 exploitation and exploration concessions that cover approximately 8,000 hectares. The El Cubo mine operates as a multi-level underground mine with access ramps for mobile equipment and two vertical shafts for the hoisting of ore. Mexgold has been producing gold and silver from the El Cubo mine since Mexgold acquired the mine in March 2004. In addition, Mexgold is conducting exploration activities in the area around the El Cubo mine in order to increase potential resources within the current El Cubo mine and to expand the resource base in areas outside of the current mine area. Mexgold's near term objective is to increase annual mine production from the El Cubo mine to at least 100,000 gold equivalent ounces, at a cash cost of less than US$200 per ounce.

2.    The Las Torres gold-silver mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico: Pursuant to a lease agreement between El Cubo and Torres, Mexgold operates the Las Torres mine complex. The Las Torres mine complex is immediately adjacent to the El Cubo Mine, and consists of 50 exploitation concessions encompassing approximately 6,400 hectares, a mill complex (currently inactive) and four working mines: Cedros, Peregrina, Apolo and Sirena. Mexgold has been producing gold and silver from the Peregrina mine since October 2005. Production from the Las Torres mine complex is reported with production from the El Cubo mine.

3.    The Guadalupe y Calvo gold-silver exploration project in Chihuahua, Mexico: Through El Cubo, Mexgold holds a 100% interest in this project, consisting of four concessions totalling approximately 436 hectares. Mexgold has launched a 30,000 metre exploration drilling program at the project, focused on upgrading and expanding the property's resources.

Pursuant to the lease agreement with Torres, Mexgold has the right to explore, develop and mine the Las Torres property for a period of 5 years expiring in September 2009, with the right to renew for a further five year period. Annual lease payments total US$480,000 in the first year, and US$720,000 each year thereafter. In addition, Mexgold is required to pay a 3.5% net smelter return on all gold and silver sales equal to or above US$350 per ounce of gold, $5.50 per ounce silver, with a minimum monthly royalty of US$20,000. The royalty declines on a sliding scale to a 3.0% net smelter return for sales of gold and silver at or below US$300 per ounce gold and US$5.00 per ounce of silver.

The Las Torres lease agreement also includes use of the Las Torres mill complex. This plant is a modern 2,200 tpd hoisting, grinding and flotation processing facility. This plant has an estimated replacement cost of US$17 million. The plant is currently not in use, but as Mexgold plans to increase the production at the combined operation, the availability of this plant represents a potentially significant capital savings. Las Torres milling and processing costs are estimated to be US$8.00 per tonne. The availability of this plant represents a potentially significant capital saving if continued exploration identifies sufficient additional mineral resources to warrant expansion and the operating of this facility.

All concessions are subject to an annual minimum investment and an annual mining tax that must be paid to keep the concessions in good standing. The amount of the minimum investment or assessment work varies based on the size, age and type of the concession, and changes each year with the Department of Mines publishing a new list at the beginning of the year, and it varies with the consumer price index. The rate of the mining duty depends on the concession type and the age of the concession. The rate changes each semester with the Department of Mines publishing the new rates in January and July. The mining duty is due in both January and July. The following table sets out the total minimum investment and assessment work and the mining duty required annually to keep the El Cubo and Las Torres concessions in good standing.

In order to engage in exploration and commercial mining activity, an environmental permit is required. Mexgold currently has all necessary environmental permits for exploration and for commercial mining activity on these concessions.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

El Cubo is approximately 10 km east of the City of Guanajuato, the capital city of the State of Guanajuato. Guanajuato City is approximately 275 km northwest of Mexico City. The area is accessible by daily plane service to the Leon airport, directly from the USA and many parts of Mexico. Leon is 45 km west of Guanajuato.

The Village of El Cubo surrounds the El Cubo mine offices and the level 4 adit. This village supplies some of the work force, however the majority of the workers come from Guanajuato and other surrounding villages. The El Cubo Mine is connected to the national electrical grid. Mining has been the major industry in the area. An adequate workforce that is familiar with mining, and the necessary support facilities, are present in the region.

The Guanajuato District is near the southern edge of the Mexican Central Plateau. South-eastern outliers of the Sierra Madre Occidental physiographic province cover the district. The offices at the mine are at an elevation of 2265 m and the mine ranges in elevation from 2647 m at the upper most level, level 180, to 1905 m at the lowest level (14th) in the El Cubo mine. The adjacent Las Torres mine is developed deeper to an elevation of approximately 1600 m. The original processing plants were built in a steep sided canyon up the valley from the town. The most recent mill was built on a hill side away from the town and closer to the upper levels and the San Lorenzo shaft.

The cold winters and mild summers are typical of the temperate climate in the area. The area is mainly devoid of trees, however, in the valleys and where reforestation has taken place, there are stands of trees. The Encino tree that is found in the area is protected. Some cattle grazing is carried out in the area over the scrub land. Sections of more arable land have been deforested to support small plots for growing crops. Any farming activities would have to be considered subsistence. Although there is a reasonable amount of rainfall each year there are no large bodies of water or large rivers nearby. The required water is supplied from the mine and the recycled water from the tailings impoundment facilities.

History

Silver and gold have been mined in the Guanajuato area for approximately 450 years. The El Cubo property has been active since the 17th century. The total production from the Guanajuato District is estimated at 6 million ounces of gold and 1.2 billion ounces of silver. The El Cubo mine and the adjacent Peregrina mine account for a large part of the gold that has been mined in the District.

In 1995 production was expanded from 350 to 800 tpd and then further increased to 1400 tpd in 2001. The expanded throughput of the mills saw a decrease in ore grade after each expansion. The decrease in ore grade was probably due to insufficient working places to supply the increased tonnage to the mills and the tonnage shortfall was made up using low grade material from old stope fill. As there was a tonnage shortage there probably was less emphasis on grade control, giving increased tonnages mined but at a lower grade.

El Cubo was purchased by Mexgold Resources Inc. in March 2004.

The Las Torres mine and mill complex owned by Torres was leased by Metales in October 2004. The lease is now held by El Cubo. This property has been in production for many years, especially the adjacent Peregrina mine.

Geological Setting and Mineralization

The eastern part of the Guanajuato Mining District where El Cubo is located is underlain by a volcano-sedimentary sequence of Mesozoic to Cenozoic age rocks.

There are three main northwest trending vein systems that cut these volcano-sedimentary sequences. The veins systems from west to east are known as La Luz, Madre and La Sierra systems. These systems are generally silver rich with gold to silver ratios from 1:72 to 1:214. They are known along strike for 10 to 25 km. The known vertical


- I-9 -

extent of the economic grade mineralization is considered to be up to 550 m, however, the mineralization at El Cubo is known to extend more than 800 m vertically.

The veins at El Cubo are found in all of the formations and are not rock type specific. The principal host rocks for the ore shoots are the Guanajuato Conglomerate for the lower ores and the Bufa Rhyolite for the upper ores. The mineral deposits in the El Cubo area are all related directly to faults. The deposits occur as open-space fillings in fracture zones or impregnations in the locally porous wall rocks. The veins formed in relatively open spaces are the main targets for mining. Some weak stockworks that grade into disseminations are viable targets, especially if they are close enough to surface and can be mined from an open pit.

There are approximately 40 veins within the El Cubo mine area that are included within the mineral resource estimations. These mineralized veins are known to occur from an elevation of 2650 m down to an elevation of 1730 m. In the adjacent Las Torres Mine the veins are developed down to an elevation of approximately 1600 m.

The economic mineralization at El Cubo is gold and silver. During World War 2 some selenium was recovered and sold. Base metal values are generally absent, except for small amounts of chalcopyrite. El Cubo appears to be a low sulphur system with abundant pyrite, but no arsenopyrite.

Exploration and Drilling

The El Cubo mine has not had a lot of exploration in the recent past and Mexgold has raised funds recently with the intent of increasing exploration work on the property. Diamond drilling from surface was started at the end of June 2004 and to the end of 2005 113 holes were drilled for a total drill footage of close to 31,000 m. The results of the exploration program have been incorporated into the calculation of mineral resources and reserves under "Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves", below.

Mexgold's exploration program at the El Cubo - Las Torres Mine Complex has been focused on two key objectives: (a) to increase production within the current El Cubo mine, and (b) to expand the resource base in areas outside of the current mine area. Initially, increasing mine production was the first priority, and approximately 70% of Mexgold's resources were allocated to this task. As mining efficiencies have improved and production increased, Mexgold has been able to shift emphasis to exploration within the historic Guanajuato District. This increase in district-wide exploration has been enhanced by the Las Torres property acquisition, which has provided Mexgold access to almost the entire Guanajuato District. This has enabled Mexgold to expand the current 60,000-metre exploration drilling program at El Cubo to a district wide exploration program. A total of 95 new drill holes were drilled. As a result of this drilling, three significant targets of interest have been developed outside of the main El Cubo mine area. These include the La Loca, a northwest trending vein complex, currently being accessed from Las Torres and scheduled for production this year; the Phoenix, a significant vein swarm southeast of the main Peregrina mine, capable of hosting both bulk tonnage mineralization and high grade gold and silver veins; and the Veta Madre, a potential moderate grade bulk tonnage open pit heap leach target. These three targets represent areas outside of the current mine area and have been identified by positive exploration results as areas with significant potential to increase mineable resources on the Mexgold property.

Sampling, Analysis and Security of Samples

The El Cubo mine has an assay laboratory associated with the milling complex. This laboratory assays all of the mill samples, bullion and mine samples. The exploration samples from the drilling programs are sent to Chemex for analysis.

The sampling, handling and assaying methods used at El Cubo are consistent with good operational practice.

The El Cubo laboratory has two buildings. One building is for sample preparation and one for the analysis. The laboratory can prepare and assay 250 samples per day. All of the gold samples are assayed by fire assaying with gravimetric finish. Every tenth sample is run in duplicate as a quality check. Although there has been some comparison of assays with other laboratories, there is not a regular and standard procedure to do this. In their report dated April 12, 2004, which was relied upon by the authors of the GCA-LRK Report, Chlumsky, Armbrust and Meyer, LLC examined eleven headgrade samples that were assayed both at the El Cubo and Peñoles Las Torres Laboratories. The Peñoles results were consistently 6% higher in silver and 1% higher in gold. This consistent


- I-10 -

relationship between the two laboratories shows good repeatability of the analysis. The real test of the analysis is whether the analysis reflects the amount of gold that is eventually recovered when the bullion is sold. It appears that the assay results meet this test.

The mine samples are taken by the Geology Department for the initial resource and reserve calculations and for control in the mining phase. Channel samples are cut perpendicular to the veins at two metre intervals along the veins. The sample locations are marked with spray paint and can be relocated. The channels are cut on all vein faces, in drifts, x-cuts, raises and stopes. They are cut in the backs of the openings except in the raises where both walls are channelled. The channels are cut 10 cm wide and 2 cm deep using a hammer and chisel. The rock chips are collected on a canvas and any fragments larger that 2.5 cm are broken with a hammer. As these samples tend to be large, the samples are reduced in size at the sample site to 500-900 g by quartering and care is taken to collect all of the fines for the selected quarters. The samples are sealed in plastic bags and sent to the company laboratory. The channels are divided by geological divisions into a number of samples depending on the position of the vein or veins. If the mine opening is on a single vein the ideal sampling is a sample of the wall rock on each side of the vein and one sample of the vein. If there is more than one vein present, or it is divided by waste rock, then each of the divisions will be sampled separately.

For exploration samples, a new core handling and storage facility is being built at the site where the core is now being worked on. Drilling is being done both from surface and from underground. All of the core is processed at the same location and in the same manner. The core is placed in trays at the drill site. El Cubo transports the core trays to the central core facility. The core is washed and logged geologically. The geologist marks the samples for sampling. Samples are taken by splitting the core in half using percussion splitters. Half of the core is returned to the trays for storage and half of the core is placed in bags for shipment to the laboratory. The samples are shipped to Chemex in Hermosillo where they are crushed and pulverized. A 200-300 g pulp sample is sent to Chemex in Vancouver for fire assaying. Chemex stores the reject portions of the samples in Hermosillo. Chemex runs duplicate samples and standards to ensure that the assays are of good quality. The core facility in its current stage of construction is not a locked secure facility, however, a watchman is present when the geologists, samplers and core handlers are not present.

The Chemex Laboratory is certified to meet the ISO 9001:2000 standards for quality assurance. This laboratory is used for all of the exploration samples. The El Cubo laboratory of Mexgold is not certified.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

During the many years of production, the methods used for calculating the resources and reserves have evolved. Some of the mineralized veins that were previously part of the resource are now exhausted and some of the mineralization is of a different character. In addition to the vein changes, the mining method has changed over the years.

Each year the El Cubo geology staff prepares a resource and reserve summary based on standard methods, with the criteria that have been developed over the years. The method of estimation did not seem to satisfy the changing needs of Mexgold and for 2006 the estimation method was modified to better reflect the grade of the ore that will be delivered to the mill.

All of the resource and reserve calculations previously were based only on channel sampling of the veins. Until Mexgold acquired El Cubo, there was very little diamond drilling in these veins and drill intersections were not used in the estimations. This is still the case for many of the veins in the El Cubo resource, however the results of recent drilling were considered along with the channel sampling in the veins that have recently been drilled.

The resource on the Las Torres property has been calculated in the same manner as the El Cubo resource.

As per the new resource / reserve calculation, proven and probable reserves amount to 4.65-million tonnes grading 3.24 grams per tonne gold and 183 grams per tonne silver. Based on the reserve estimates below, it is estimated that the project will have a mine life of 10 years based on a production rate of 1,320 tpd (467,280 tonnes per year). Reserve figures are displayed by project area in the table below, and have been estimated in accordance with NI 43-101 and the guidelines of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum:

(1)    Gold equivalent values are based on 58.7 grams of silver = 1 grams of gold, calculated based on a gold price of US$505 and a silver price of US$8.60. Dilution is 50% zero grade. 95% extraction anticipated. Proven & Probable reserves stated above are a subset of Measured & Indicated resources contained in the next table.

The Proven reserve is the portion of the Measured resource (contained in the table above) that will be mined. The grade has been reduced to account for dilution during mining and the tonnage has been adjusted to reflect the allowance for mining pillars and other portions that will not be mined, as well as allowing for the additional tonnage from dilution. The Probable reserve is the portion of the Indicated resource (contained in the table above) that will be mined. The same grade and tonnage adjustments that were made for the Proven reserve were made for the Probable reserve.

Exploration efforts at the El Cubo - Las Torres Mine Complex have been focused on three key targets outside of the current El Cubo Mine area; the La Loca Vein Complex, the Phoenix, and the Veta Madre. The Phoenix and the Veta Madre represent proposed bulk tonnage projects, potentially amenable to open pit mining methods. Through the implementation of this highly successful district wide exploration program, primarily focused on these three key areas, total Measured and Indicated resources have been estimated at 5.37-million tonnes grading 4.01 grams per tonne gold and 187 grams per tonne silver, containing 692,833 ounces of gold and 32,234,137 ounces of silver (1,241,770 gold equivalent ounces). Total Measured and Indicated resources are summarized in the table below, and include all resources that have been moved to Proven and Probable reserves, as described in the previous table. As before, the estimates of resources in ounces have been made in accordance with NI 43-101 and the guidelines of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.

The cut off grade was 3 grams per tonne gold equivalent for the Measured and Indicated resource. The Measured resource is defined as being within 10-metres from the sampling face, whether it is a stope, drift, cross cut, raise or drill hole. This can be in either direction from the sample face within the vein. The Indicated resource is defined as being 10-50-metres from the sampling face and within the vein. The projection is limited to half distance to the next level or other sample area if that is less than 50-metres.

The veins are channel sampled every 2-metres along all headings, drifts, raises, cross cuts and the operating stopes. Separate channel samples are collected for the veins and wall rocks.

An additional 7.53-million tonnes, grading 3.51 grams per tonne gold and 172 grams per tonne silver remains in the inferred category, and contains 849,272 ounces of gold and 41,703,051 ounces of silver (1,559,462 gold equivalent ounces), as demonstrated in the following table:

Mining Operations

Currently all of the ore is obtained from underground. The El Cubo mine employs conventional drill and blast mining methods to extract the ore. Access to the mining areas is by adits, ramps and shafts.

The ore is processed in three milling facilities. Two of the mills concentrate the gold and silver minerals by standard flotation methods. The other mill treats the ore directly with cyanide to extract the gold and silver. The recovered gold and silver is sent to Met-Mex Peñoles, S. A. de C. V. for refining and sale.

The ore zones are generally steeply dipping in the order of 70° and are generally narrow averaging 1.6 m wide. The mining of the veins is by a resuing cut and fill method. The ore is accessed from a ramp and a drift is driven along the length of the ore zone. The stope mining is started from the drift by drilling uppers into the ore zone in the back of the drift and then blasting. The broken ore is removed from the stopes with scoop trams and loaded into trucks for transportation. Depending on the location in the underground mine the ore is taken to surface for subsequent milling via a system of ore passes, shafts and rail haulages. If the ore zone is too narrow for a scoop to operate, then after the broken ore is removed the wall rocks are drilled and blasted with this waste rock being left in the stope as fill. The stopes are also filled with development waste rock as well as deliberately mined waste wall rocks. When there is sufficient fill in the stope, the vein in the back is once again drilled and blasted and the process continues. Each time a new back is exposed it is sampled for further control in the stopes. The resuing method should allow narrower veins to be mined with reduced dilution.


- I-13 -

As mining dilution is a big factor in the mill head grades, Mexgold is actively working to reduce the dilution to a minimum. Overall awareness of the dilution problem is the first step in reducing dilution. The dilution is being reduced with better control of the drilling pattern and improved blasting techniques. Steps are being taken to reduce the waste to the mill by controlling the mucking of the ore and not allowing over mucking into the waste fill. This mining method allows for a high extraction rate and it is estimated that approximately 95% of the ore can be extracted. Low grade sections can be left behind as pillars.

Mexgold has instigated some change in the mining method at El Cubo. This change is to shrinkage stoping and it is anticipated that where this method is applicable it should reduce the mining cost and reduce the dilution of the ore. However, the shrinkage method is not envisaged to provide the bulk of ore for milling. The first of these shrinkage stopes started operation about the 1st of December. As these are the first shrinkage stopes in the current era it has been necessary to train the miners in the stope development and mining of the stopes. As they become more experienced in the method the benefit in cost and improved grade should become apparent. In addition to the change of method mentioned above, Mexgold is modifying the current cut and fill method to improve the mining efficiency and lower the dilution.

Mine production is planned to increase to the full capacity of the El Cubo mills in 2006. This means an increase of 25% over the mine production in 2005 to 467,280 t/y. Production has been held up in the past years by the lack of exploration and development. Mexgold has increased the emphasis on this phase of the mining and the results can be seen in the increased production in 2005 and further increases in production during 2006 can be anticipated. The reopening of the Peregrina mine of Las Torres has added additional working faces and only started supplying ore at the end of the year.

The long range plan that was developed by El Cubo has the mill processing to capacity in 2006 (467,280 t/y) and beyond. The current proven and probable reserves are sufficient for 10 years of production. The forecast grades for 2006 are 3.61 g Au/t and 196 g Ag/t. As the development of the mine progresses, for efficiency, it is likely that during this 10 year period some of the inferred resources will be mined and the mining of some of the current Proven and Probable reserves will be mined later. However the forecast head grades should be maintained or improved upon.

The forecast for 2005 was for the mill to process 368,300 tonnes. The mill only processed 95% of the target tonnage as that was all that was delivered to the mill. Since the mill capacity has been increased it has been difficult for the mine to extract as much ore as the mills could process. The mine has sufficient resources to supply the mills, however there has not been enough development in the recent past to give access to the ore. The increase in development by Mexgold has not only allowed the production to rise but has had a positive effect on the head grade delivered to the mill. The head grade for 2003 was 3.02 g Au/t and 114 g Ag/t. In 2004 the head grade increased to 3.54 g Au/t and 128 g Ag/t. This is a significant increase and has been maintained with the head grade of 3.51 g Au/t and 135 g Ag/t in 2005. With the expanded development and exploration at El Cubo the mine should be able to deliver sufficient ore to the mills so that they can operate at optimum levels. Production is planned to be at full capacity of 467,280 tonnes per year.

The ore at El Cubo is treated by conventional means. These are crushing and grinding followed by flotation and cyanidation with the gold and silver recovered from solution using the Merrill-Crowe process. The ore is treated in three milling facilities. The newest and largest of these is the 600 tpd flotation plant known as the Ing. Ricardo Chico Villaseñor mill (IRCHV). The other flotation plant is known as the Ing. Jose Rivera Paredes mill (IJRP) and has a capacity of 350 tpd. The third mill is the cyanidation facility. This plant has a capacity to directly treat 450 tpd of ore by cyanidation as well as cyaniding the concentrates produced in the other two mills. All of the gold and silver is recovered from the cyanide solutions into doré bars at the cyanidation mill.

The plants were able to process all of the ore that was supplied from the mine. The total ore processed was only 95% of the tonnage that was forecast for 2005. The average gold grade was 27% lower and the silver grade was 5% lower than forecast. The overall gold recovery was slightly better than forecast with an average recovery of 91.6% versus the forecast 90.2%. The overall silver recovery was 89.1%. This is slightly higher than the forecast 84.4%.

El Cubo has a contract to sell gold and silver to Met-Mex Peñoles, S. A. de C. V., an arm's length, privately held corporation incorporated in Mexico. The contract expires on December 24, 2006. This contract requires El Cubo to deliver on a monthly basis 50,000 silver ounces and 1,700 gold ounces at a fixed price of US$5.37 and US$400.55


- I-14 -

respectively, for the period from January 1, to December 31, 2004. Prices for sales beyond December 31, 2004 have been set at market rates. In addition, El Cubo has agreed to deliver to Met-Mex, 100% of its annual production for the year ended December 31, 2006 (44,700 silver ounces and 1,250,000 gold ounces). There are no penalties for not delivering the amounts as outlined.

The following information is based on El Cubo's December 2005 report. The operating cost per tonne increased in 2004, however these costs were more than offset by the increased ore grade, making the cost per gold-equivalent ounce less than in 2003. The operating costs were lower in 2005 and the cost per gold-equivalent ounce was 12% lower than in 2004. El Cubo's operating cost includes the current exploration and development. The operating cost in 2003 was US$41.50/t and US$318.56 per gold-equivalent ounce. The operating cost in the 2004 was US$48.63/t and US$314.30 US per gold-equivalent ounce. The operating cost in the 2005 was US$46.46/t and US$276.48 US per gold-equivalent ounce.

As the El Cubo mine is in operation and has three operating mills, the capital requirements for equipment and changes is small - US$13,350,000. The main expenditure in the mine (US$2,681,000) is the exploration drifts and raises that are needed to extend the known mineralization and locate new zones. This work was not carried out as aggressively as needed by the previous operators. The largest expenditure overall, 60% of the capital budget, is for general exploration of the El Cubo and the Las Torres properties (US$8,000,000). This planned expenditure is for drilling, sampling, assaying and other geological examinations. The budget includes all of the sample handling and storage costs. Exploration of the property by the previous operator was not being carried out and Mexgold has initiated a large scale program to catch up on this necessary work. The previous operators also neglected the exploration drifting and raising.

Economic Analysis

This section includes the planned production and estimated cash flow of the El Cubo mine based on the Proven and Probable Reserves. The cash flow has been done on a yearly basis for the 10 year life of the mine. All of the Proven and Possible Reserves are used in this cash flow estimate. This is in keeping with the directions in NI 43-101.

In addition, the GCA-LRK Report puts forward a longer range plan that includes the Inferred Resources that may be mined underground and processed in the company's mills. As well as the underground mining, there is a conceptual plan that will mine some low grade ores from open pits and recover the gold and silver using a heap leach method. There are some known low grade rezagas in the stopes underground. These rezagas will also be processed on the heap leach.

It is important to remember that both of these plans are estimations as to what might happen. In particular, the long range 20 year plan is a preliminary assessment including Inferred and Indicated Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them and to be categorized as mineral reserves. Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Resources, there is no assurance that Inferred Resourced will be updated to Measured and Indicated Resources or Proven and Probable Reserves as a result of continued exploration and development. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The open pit is only conceptual at this stage as is the heap leach. The costs attributed to mining and processing the ores are reasonable estimates, however further drilling is needed to confirm the tonnes and grades of the resources in the open pits and the amount of waste that must be removed. The cost of establishing a heap leach has been estimated, however until the proper engineering of the site and the design of the heap leach process is done, the project remains conceptual. There is no certainty that the 20 year plan will be realized.

It is estimated that the Proven and Probable Reserves that have been identified at El Cubo and Las Torres will be sufficient for ten years at the full production rate of the company's mills. At this time there are no plans to activate the Peñoles mill that is part of the Las Torres property lease. This plan is dependent on El Cubo increasing the mining rate as planned so that the mills can be run at capacity. This is probably the biggest risk factor in this evaluation.

The following table summarizes the forecast results based on the Proven and Probable Reserves and the assumptions set out in the table. For more details, Shareholders should refer to the GCA-LRK Report.

The necessary infrastructure and a local workforce are both available. Mining and forestry are the major industries in the region.


- I-17 -

Chihuahua has a well-developed transportation network with over 4,000 kilometres of paved highways, 7,000 kilometres of improved roads and 2,100 kilometres of railway. International airports are located in the cities of Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua. Access to Guadalupe y Calvo from Parral, the nearest major city, is via Federal Highway 24, a paved two-lane road, approximately 271 km to the town of Guadalupe y Calvo. The project lies immediately to the south west of the town. An airstrip is also present near the town of Guadalupe y Calvo. The nearest town, Guadalupe y Calvo, is located at the southern eastern edge of the project area and has an estimated population of 5,000 people. Guadalupe y Calvo is the seat of the municipal government.

The climate is temperate with cool winters and mild summers. Rainfall is erratic in terms of yearly precipitation and occurs mainly during the summer monsoon season. The average annual precipitation is approximately 800 mm. Vegetation consists of pine and mixed pine and deciduous forest.

On site facilities consist of a Hacienda with offices, housing and dining facilities. The Hacienda is currently connected to the national power grid and telephone lines are available for installation. A 40 tpd mill with flotation recovery circuit is present along with various storage facilities.

History

Gold has been mined in the area when from 1835, when what is now called the Rosario vein was discovered, until 1940. Accurate production records are not available for the period from 1835 to 1940 however it is postulated that 2 million ounces of gold and 28 million ounces of silver were mined. The average grade of the production has been tentatively estimated at 37 g Au/t and 870 g Ag/t. In 1978, the Compania Minera Los Maples de C.V. acquired the property and installed a 42 t/d mill with a flotation circuit. A Merrill Crowe recovery system was present in the 1980's and used in a small heap leach.

In the 1980's various studies were done but no further exploration was done. In 1994, Glamis Gold sampled the surface and underground. In 1996, limited mapping and sampling and bottle roll tests were done by V-Fund Investments. In 1998, Augusta Resource Corp. drilled 9 reverse circulation holes totalling 1,082 m on the San Francisco portion of the Rosario vein. One of the holes also intersected the Nankin vein.

In October 2003 Mexgold commenced drilling at Guadalupe and continued to May 200. A total of 38 holes were completed. These holes intersected the San Francisco, Nankin, Zorilla and the Pertenencia veins. No work has been done on the property since May 2004.

Geological Setting and Mineralization

The Guadalupe project is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental physiographic province. In late Cretaceous and continuing on throughout the Tertiary, the Sierra Madre region was the site of intense volcanic and intrusive activity. Volcanic stratigraphy has been broken down into two main groups the Lower Volcanic Group ("LVG") and the Upper Volcanic Group ("UVG"). LVG rocks are the host of nearly all of the gold and silver deposits that have been found in the Sierra Madre to date.

Within the Guadalupe y Calvo project area an erosional window of LVG rock is exposed, surrounded by UVG rhyolitic flows and tuffs. The main structural feature in the project area is the Rosario fault complex. The Rosario structure strikes N 40º W and dips 45º to 50º to the west. Several east-west striking structures are present, including the Nankin, which dip approximately 35º to the south. The Concordia and El Sol structures strike N 60º W, and dip to the south. The Rosario breccia-vein complex splits into two distinct structures near its southern exposure, the footwall structure being the name Refugio. Mapping by Glamis indicates the Refugio structure has an almost due north strike and dips approximately 45º to 50º to the west. Its northerly extension appears to be covered by alluvium. As virtually no exploration has been done in the footwall of the main Rosario structure, it is possible that other 30º splay structures off the main Rosario structure may be present. The limited exposure of the LVG rocks makes interpretation of the structural fabric in regional terms difficult.

Guadalupe y Calvo is a classic gold-silver epithermal district and in general is classified as a pluton related adularia-sericite system. Based on mineralogy and alteration, gold-silver mineralization, it is of the low-sulfidation quartz-adularia type. The system contains quartz veins, quartz breccias and stockworks hosting economically significant gold and silver mineralization. The mineralization commonly exhibits open-space filling textures and is associated


- I-18 -

with volcanic related hydrothermal to geothermal systems. The host Rosario structure is a complex fault system containing multiple fault segments with the intervening ground being highly fractured. These multiple fault segments host classic ribbon veins and quartz breccias, the result of repeated opening of the host structure. The intervening fractured ground has been highly silicified and hosts quartz stockwork mineralization.

Detailed mineralogy has not been completed, but based on hand lens observations and cyanide leach characteristics the dominant precious metal minerals are believed to be electrum and argentite. The fact that Los Maples employed a flotation recovery circuit to recover gold and silver would indicate that the precious metals are fine grained in nature. Pyrite with lesser and variable amounts of sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena are also present.

Total width of the mineralized zone within the Rosario fault complex is up to 80 meters. Historic underground mining widths of high-grade gold-silver mineralization were up to 10 meters.

Low sulfidation epithermal gold-silver mineralization is the result of pressure and temperature changes within a metal bearing hydrothermal system. Therefore economic gold and silver mineralization generally occurs within a distinct elevational horizon. Often silver content, along with base metals, increase as the bottom of the mineralized horizon is reached. Past mining operations at Guadalupe y Calvo have exploited high-grade gold and silver mineralization over a vertical range of approximately 250 meters. Analysis of available data does not indicate a major increase in silver or base metal content with increasing depth. Both historic and modern data show that high-grade gold and silver mineralization is present in the lowest levels of both the Rosario and Nankin structures, therefore it is probable that mineralization continues.

Historic operations were hindered by water problems when the valley floor water table was reached. The inability of past operations to deal with water inflow is believed to be the reason mining was not pursued down dip rather than the absents of high grade gold-silver mineralization.

Exploration and Drilling

Glamis, V-Fund and Augusta have conducted modern, well-documented, exploration activities in the area. In addition, Phillip Argall conducted well-documented underground exploration program in 1902. The results of these exploration programs are summarized in the PAH Report.

To date, Mexgold has drilled a total of 37 holes, including eight new holes announced in August 2004. Drilling has been conducted as part of a 30,000-metre exploration drilling program, announced early in 2004. Gold-equivalent grades from all drill holes to date with intercepts above a 3.0 gram per tonne cut off grade average 10.9 grams per tonne (4.22 grams per tonne gold and 437 grams per tonne silver), over an average interval of 2.1 metres. Gold-equivalent grades to date from drill holes with intercepts above a 0.5 gram per tonne cut off grade average 2.3 grams per tonne (0.86 grams per tonne gold and 94 grams per tonne silver), over an average interval of 11.6 metres. Results from the eight new holes returned 10 intercepts above a 3.0 g/t cut off grade, contained within 10 intercepts above a 0.5 g/t cut off grade. The gold-equivalent values used above are based on 65 grams of silver = 1 gram of gold, calculated on a gold price of US$400 per ounce and a silver price of US$6.15 per ounce.

There was not enough drilling done to make any changes to the Inferred Resource that has been estimated in the PAH Report. The PAH Report inferred resource was based on the work by previous operators of the property.

Sampling, Analysis and Security of Samples

All of the drilling samples are available at the mine office building located near the town of Guadalupe y Calvo. This building is locked and a watchman is there to protect the build, its contents, and the samples. Analysis of samples was performed by ALS Chemex laboratories of Vancouver, British Columbia, employing fire assay analysis techniques.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

There is not sufficient information to establish anything except an Inferred Resource for this project. Any tonnages and grades that are given in the Inferred Resource can only be considered as a guide (or exploration target) as to what may be there if sufficient exploration and development is carried out. The PAH Report calculated the potential


- I-19 -

of the zones from previous work done on the property by previous operators and in this way has come up with an Inferred Resource. These calculations should not be taken as accurate and should only used as a guide for further work.

The assumption that the mineralized zone would extend a total of 500 m is the starting point of the calculation. There is no information to back this up except that the mines on other epithermal veins can extend that far or further. It is assumed that the upper remnants of the high grade zone could be mined along with the FW and HW in a bulk tonnage open pit. It is assumed that this pit would extend down 250 m from the top of the structures. The remaining portion could be mined from underground on the Rosario and the Nankin veins. A specific gravity of 2.5 was used in the calculations. This seems to be slightly conservative if the drill core that was examined was a reasonable example. To establish a grade for the bulk tonnage section the various samples that are shown above have been combined to establish the grades used. To establish the grade of the Rosario underground portion the historical grade estimated by Buchanan was cut in half to 18.6 g Au/t and 435 g Ag/t. To establish the grade of the underground portion of the Nankin vein the yearly production grade for 1938 was used. The records for 1938 were one of the last years when records were kept. The grades used for the Nankin underground were 9.25 g Au/t and 260 g Ag/t. The tonnage of the upper bulk section was reduced 25% and the underground was reduced 67% to establish a potential size.

The following table summarizes the inferred mineral resource estimated for the Rosario and Nankin structures.
