MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

DATED NOVEMBER 15, 2007



This MD & A covers the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2007 – July 1, 2007 – September 30, 2007 – and the period to November 15, 2007.  It is to be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements, prepared to December 31, 2006.


1.

Overall Performance  - for the period since July 1, 2007.


(a)

Michaud, Ontario property


No work has been done on the Michaud property since July 1, 20907.


(b)

Spanish Mountain, British Columbia, Property


Based on the results of earlier exploration work the Company initiated an 11 hole diamond drilling programme.  As of November 15, 2007 the drilling of 10 holes had been completed.  Reprinted below is a copy of the Company’s November 15, 2007 Press Release providing information with respect to the programme.


Acrex Ventures Ltd. ("Acrex") is pleased to provide an update of the 2007 drill program on its Spanish Mountain property, located near Likely, BC. The drilling program is being carried out on Acrex's Hepburn Lake claim block approximately 2.0 km northwest of the Spanish Mountain Joint Venture gold project of Skygold Ventures Ltd. and Wild Rose Resources Ltd. Over the last two years drilling and compilation work by the Spanish Mountain Joint Venture has outlined a large tonnage, potentially bulk mineable, sediment hosted gold system with average gold grades of greater than 1.0 g/t. The Main mineralized zone measures 1,200 metres x 500 metres and is up to 135 metre thick. The deposit remains open in all directions.


Acrex's consultants, PBG Geoscience of Kamloops, BC, advise that 10 of the proposed 11 drill holes have been completed on the property.  The maximum hole depth completed in the 10 holes is 309 metres (1015 feet).  The drilling has sampled several different target areas on the Hepburn Lake portion of the property.  These include targets defined by the results of an airborne geophysical survey completed earlier this year.  The airborne survey indicated a number of strong electromagnetic (resistivity) zones that trend from the Main Gold Zone on the Skygold-Wildrose Joint Venture property onto the Acrex claims.  As well, the current drilling will further test the area around the gold-bearing intersections returned from drill hole 06SpM-15, completed in the fall of 2006 (see Acrex news release dated January 17, 2007). This drill hole returned significant gold-bearing intersections, including 2.54 grams per tonne over 1.51 metres and 2.29 grams per tonne over 1.52 metres.


A total of 1,600 metres (5250 feet) of diamond drilling have been completed in the first 10 drill holes of the 2007 program.  All core is being logged and sampled at a facility located near to the property.  Samples are being split from the core and are shipped to Assayers Canada Laboratory in Vancouver BC.  Results of analysis are expected to be completed within the next 30 to 60 days. The remaining half of the core is stored in the Company's core storage facility in Likely, BC.


Results of the current program will be used in preparing for a major drill program planned for the Spanish Mountain property in 2008.  In 2008 drilling will continue to test the Hepburn Lake area

and will also test the Spanish Mountain area to the southeast.  Soil sampling was completed earlier this year to extend coverage on the Hepburn Lake area, and on the Spanish Mountain block.  Laboratory results from soil samples are expected in the weeks ahead.  The 2008 drill program will follow-up results of the 2007 drilling, and will also test new targets defined by the airborne geophysical survey and the soil geochemical surveys.  Data compilation, leading to target definition on this property, is planned for the winter months.  


Mr. Perry Grunenberg, P.Geo. of PBG Geoscience is the Company's supervisor for the Spanish Mountain Project and "Qualified Person" for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101.”


The 11th drill hole – being 150 meters (492 feet) in length – has now been  completed.  The total length of the 11 holes was 1,943 meters (6,376 feet).


The Company also completed a soil sampling programme on the claims – and collected 1,446 samples which are still awaiting assaying.


With the increased mineral exploration activity in British Columbia it is becoming increasingly difficult to get mineral samples assayed.  As of the date of this document the Company has not received any of the assay results from the drilling or soil sampling programmes.  Until the Company receives the results from the drilling and soil sampling programmes its geological consultants will not be in a position to determine what further work should be done on the property.


(c)

Financing


As was reported in detail in the Company’s MD & A the Company closed a financing in August 2006.  Repeated below is a detailed description of the financing.


In mid-August, the Company completed a Private Placement sale of  12,800,000 Units of which 5,000,000 Units were “Flow-Through” (“FT”) and 7,800,000 were Non-Flow Through (“NFT”).  The FT Units were sold at $0.22 each and the NFT Units were sold at $0.18 each – so that the Company received gross proceeds of $2,504,000.  Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company and one-half of a two year Share Purchase Warrant.  The warrants are all exercisable at $0.50 per Share.


The broker which handled the placement on behalf of the Company on a “best efforts” basis was PI Financial Corp. of Vancouver, B.C. (“PI”).  PI, pursuant to the Agency Agreement with the Company was entitled to 7.0% of the gross proceeds – which would have been $175,280.  However PI elected to take only $76,008.02 in cash and to take satisfaction of the balance of its commission by accepting 551,511 Units at a deemed price of $0.18 each.  In further compensation for its efforts in handling the placement for the Company, PI was entitled to receive agents’ warrants on a number of shares equal to 8% of the number of Units sold.  In this regard, PI received 1,024,000 agents’ warrants each of which is exercisable for a 2 year period to purchase an additional share of the Company for $0.23.  Both the warrants issued as part of the Units and the agent’s warrants have exercise dead lines between August 14 and August 16, 2009.  None of the warrants or agent’s warrants have been exercised.


The Company did not do any other financing during the period covered by this document.

*As the effect of this dilution is to reduce the reported loss per share, fully diluted loss per share information has not been shown.


The differences in the figures between the various quarters is due only to the amount of activity by the Company in each quarter – primarily in raising funding or supervising exploration work on its properties.  Legal fees of $13,000, legal disbursements of $1,453, filing fees of $14,240 and Company costs of $26,046 – total $54,739 – all incurred during the quarter, have been deemed by Management to be costs incurred in the raising of the private placement funds referred to in Clause 1(c).  They have accordingly not been booked as administrative  expenses and are not included in the calculations of the Company’s losses.
