Note 5 Canadian and United States of America Accounting Principles

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which differ in certain respects with those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company's accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP") differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") as follows:

Resource Properties

Under Canadian GAAP, resource property acquisition costs and exploration costs may be deferred and amortized to the extent they meet certain criteria. Under US GAAP, acquisition costs and exploration costs must be expensed as incurred unless the resource properties have proven reserves. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, $Nil was incurred in resource property costs. Therefore, an additional expense is not required under US GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
For the Quarter ended March 31, 2004

The following discussion of the operations, results and financial position of the Company for the Quarter ended March 31, 2004 should be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2004 Interim Financial Statements and the December 31, 2003 Audited Financial Statements and the related Notes. The effective date of this report is May 31, 2004.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information, the Management's Discussion and Analysis (the "MD&A") may contain forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be material different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Description of Business

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring, and developing (when appropriate) natural resource properties. The Company's primary property is the Lennie Property, a gold exploration project located in the Red Lake gold camp in Ontario, Canada.

No known bodies of commercial ore have been discovered to date on any of the Company's natural resource properties. In addition, the Company is in early stages of exploration. Mining exploration involves a high degree of risk. Finding mineral deposits is dependent on a number of factors including the technical skill of exploration personnel involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent on a number of factors including size, grade, and proximity to infrastructure, as well as metal prices. The prices of most metals, including gold, have increased significantly over the past year, improving the probability of successful exploration activity, as well as improving the access to capital to finance exploration projects.

Acquisition

Further to a letter of intent announced in January 2004, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement on May 6, 2004 to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pan American Gold Corporation ("Pan American"), a Nevada gold exploration company. The Company closed this acquisition on May 10, 2004, issuing 3,370,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the shareholders of Pan American which represented approximately 11% of the Company's common shares on closing.

In conjunction with the closing, the Company completed a forward split of its common stock on a seven new for one old basis and changed its name to Pan American Gold Corporation. The Company also restructured its management team appointing Richard Bachman and Michael Sweatman to the board of directors and accepting the resignations of Kevin Hanson and Alan Crawford. Mr. Bachman, a former exploration manager and regional geologist with Homestake Mining Company, was appointed the new President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Sweatman, a Chartered Accountant, was appointed Chief Financial Officer.

Pan American holds interests in four gold exploration projects in North America. In British Columbia, it holds a 75% interest in a 80,000 acre land position in the Eskay Creek gold camp. In Nevada, its holds an option to acquire a 60% interest in the Kinsley Mountain Gold Mine, a past gold producer, as well as an option to acquire a 60% interest in the Pinnacle Property which was previously drilled by Homestake. Pan

10

American also holds a 50% interest in Cactus Minerals, a private Colorado Company which owns the Cactus property, a past producing mine located in Kern County, California with historic production of 400,000 ounces of gold and one million ounces of silver.

The Company plans exploration programs on all five of its projects (including the Red Lake Lennie project) in 2004 including drill programs at Cactus, Pinnacle, and Kinsley, subject to completion of the required financing. These plans are presently being finalized by the Company's new President in consultation with the Company's consultants and advisors.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended March 31, 2004

Notwithstanding preparations for 2004 exploration programs conducted by the Company's new wholly owned subsidiary Pan American, the Company did not conduct any active exploration activities in the quarter. Activities in the quarter were focused on the completion of the Pan American acquisition and the completion of the application with the National Association of Securities Dealer ("NASD") to obtain a quote to trade the Company's shares on the OTCBB market. Both of these activities have been successfully completed.

The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $19,528 which was less than $0.01 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. This loss compares to a loss of $20,659 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 which was $0.01 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. Expenses incurred in the quarter as well as the comparable quarter in 2003 were primarily those required to maintain the Company's continuous disclosure requirements as a Canadian public company while it has proceeded to take steps to reactivate its operations.

Year Ended December 31, 2003

Operations in the year ended December 31, 2003 were focused on the restructuring of the Company's balance sheet to improve its liquidity and the clearing of a Form 20F registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission to become a Foreign Private Issuer in the United States and access the U.S. capital markets to reactivate the Company's operations.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $104,375 which was $0.03 per share on both a basic and a fully diluted basis. This included a gain on forgiveness of debt of $5,310 as well as a write-off of $7,500 relating to the abandonment of an option to acquire additional mineral claims in the Red Lake gold camp in Ontario. This loss compares to a loss of $601,974 reported in the year ended December 31, 2002 or $0.18 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. This loss included a gain of $51,072 on settlement of accounts payable, and a loss of $500,000 on write-off of a promissory note. The promissory note related to funds advanced in conjunction with the attempted acquisition of Contact Solutions Group Inc., a telemarketing company based in Toronto, Ontario in fiscal 2001. Due to a prolonged period of depressed metals prices, the Company made efforts to change its strategic direction away from minerals exploration during this period.

Expenses in 2003 were overall somewhat lower than in 2002 primarily due to a decrease in interest expense resulting from the successful completion of a shares for debt settlement transaction whereby the Company settled $986,467 of accounts payable and loans payable by issuing 986,467 common shares. Legal expenses were also lower in 2003 due to termination of the attempted acquisition of Contact Solutions Group Inc.

The assets reported at December 31, 2001 constituted primarily a promissory note receivable from Contact Solutions Group Inc. and cash that had been raised to complete the Contact Solutions Group acquisition. The significant reduction in total assets reported at December 31, 2002 reflects the write down of this investment The increase in net loss (and loss per share) reported in the year ended December 31, 2002 also reflects the extraordinary loss incurred from the write down of this investment..

The significant reduction in total liabilities and the resulting improvement in the working capital position of the Company in fiscal 2003 is the result of the shares for debt settlement agreement completed in this period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2004, the Company had current assets of $3,424. current liabilities of $124,739 and a net working capital deficiency of $121,315. The Company has been funding its ongoing working capital requirements by way of credit with companies controlled by its directors and loans provided by shareholders. Of its current liabilities, $87,949 represents accounts payable and loans payable to directors and shareholders.

The Company significantly improved its working capital position in 2003 through the completion of a shares for debt settlement transaction with a number of its creditors including its directors. With the recent successful completion of the Company's application to trade its shares on the NASD OTCBB, the Company expects that it will have stronger access to equity capital to fund its planned exploration activities in 2004. Also, with the recent acquisition of Pan American the Company acquired net cash of approximately $250,000 which will be applied to fund the Company's 2004 exploration programs on its properties as well as cover its general and administrative expenses.

Related Party Transactions

In the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred expenses with directors and a company with a common director totaling $10,200. This included a management consulting fee of $2,500 per month paid to the Company's President and rent and accounting charges.

In the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company incurred expenses with directors and a company with a common director totaling $50,541. This included a management consulting fee of $2,500 per month paid to the Company's President and rent, accounting, and interest charges on loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet transactions.

Critical Accounting Estimates

See Note 2 to the December 31, 2003 year end audited financial statements for the Company's Significant Accounting Policies.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable. Loans payable are interest-free. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted.

NEWS RELEASE

Reno, Nevada - May 31 - Tri Lateral Ventures Corporation (OTCBB: TRIVF) is pleased to report that on May 10, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Pan American Gold Corporation, a Nevada company with mineral exploration assets in both Canada and the United States. In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to "Pan American Gold Corporation" and conducted a seven for one forward split, both of which it expects to be effective later this week.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company has appointed former Homestake Mining Company exploration manager and regional geologist Richard Bachman of Reno, Nevada as its new President and CEO.

Pan American is in the business of acquiring, exploring, and developing natural resource properties. Pan American currently controls five gold properties in North America and is developing plans to aggressively explore them.

In British Columbia, the Company owns a 75% interest in one of the largest land positions in the Eskay Creek gold camp with approximately 80,000 acres. Barrick's Eskay Creek mine is considered one of the highest grade gold producers in the western hemisphere. In 2003, Barrick's Eskay Creek mine produced 352,000 ounces of gold and 17 million ounces of silver, at a total cash cost of $52 per ounce of gold. Both Pan American's land and Barrick's Mine are located within a geological zone known as the Golden Triangle which encompasses nearly 10,000 square kilometers, extending from the Telegraph Creek area in the north to the Stewart area in the south and from the Coast Range on the west inland to the east for about 75 kilometers.

The Company is pleased to report that Mr. Matt Mason, a key member of the original team that located claims over the Eskay Creek mine in early 1990's, will continue to share his vision and assist the Company in the exploration of this large highly prospective property.

In Nevada, the Company has an option to acquire a 60% interest in the Kinsley Mountain Gold Mine, a past gold producer and an option to acquire a 60% interest in the early stage Pinnacle property that was previously drilled by Homestake. The Company expects to initiate new drilling programs on each of these properties this summer.

In the world class Campbell-Red Lake gold camp of Ontario, Pan American owns a 100% interest in the Lennie property consisting of 14 patented claims covering 400 acres. Pan American's Lennie property is within 3.2 km (two miles) of major producing gold mines operated by Goldcorp Inc. (Red Lake Mine) and Placer Dome (Campbell Mine).

Pan American owns a 50% interest in Cactus Minerals, a private Colorado company. The Cactus property is located in the western Mojave Desert in Kern County, California. The Cactus property, held previously by CoCa Mines and Hecla Mining Co., was first mined at the property in 1894. Total historic production is approximately 400,000 ounces of gold and a million ounces of silver. The company expects to commence drilling on the property in early June, 2004.

Company President Richard Bachman stated, "I am pleased to be involved with such a dynamic company and look forward to directing the development of such an exciting portfolio of properties. We are hopeful that we can quickly convert at least one of these properties into a significant success. Our objective is to become profitable gold producer through aggressive exploration and acquisition. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that will provide value to our shareholders."
