PAN
AMERICAN GOLD CORPORATION (“Pan American”) Suite 604 - 750 West Pender Street Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 2T7 |
Richard
Bachman, President Telephone: 604.669.2615 |
On May 6, 2004, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Pan American Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Pan American Nevada”), J. Graham Douglas and the shareholders of Pan American Nevada, whereby we acquired Pan American Nevada in consideration for the issue of an aggregate of 3,370,000 shares of common stock of our company. |
Pan American Nevada holds interests in four gold exploration projects in North America. In British Columbia, Pan American Nevada holds a 75% interest in a 80,000 acre land position comprised of 87 mineral claims in the Eskay Creek gold camp area. |
In Nevada, Pan American Nevada holds an option to acquire a 60% interest in the Kinsley Mountain Gold Mine, a past gold producer. The Kinsley Mountain Property is described as follows: |
The property is located in Elko County, Nevada. It is comprised of approximately 125 claims covering approximately 2,600 acres. The claims are situated in the following Township, Range and Section of the Mount Diablo Base & Meridian (MDB&M): |
Township | Range | Sections |
---|---|---|
27 North | 67 East | 36 |
27 North | 68 East | 31 & 32 |
26 North | 67 East | 01, 12 & 13 |
26 North | 68 East | 05, 06, 07 & 08 |
In addition, Pan American Nevada holds an option to acquire a 60% interest in the Pinnacle Property which was previously drilled by Homestake Mining Company. Pinnacle Property described as follows: |
The property is located in Nye County, Nevada. It is comprised of approximately 80 claims covering approximately 1,600 acres over the known mineralization in the area. All the claims are situated in Township 14 North, Range 40 East, Sections 09, 10, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 29 & 30 of the Mount Diablo Base & meridian (MDB&M). |
Pan American Nevada also holds a 50% interest in Cactus Minerals, a private Colorado Company which owns the Cactus property. 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 in 1894. Total historic production is approximately 400,000 ounces of gold and a million ounces of silver. |
As a condition to the closing under the share purchase agreement, our board of directors appointed Richard Bachman as a member of our board of directors, and Kevin Hanson and Alan Crawford resigned as directors and officers of our company. On May 7, 2004 Michael Sweatman was appointed as a director of our company. |
We closed the acquisition on May 10, 2004 |
3,370,000 shares of common stock. |
There are no plans or proposals for material changes in the business affairs of Pan American which may have a significant effect on the results of operations and financial position of Pan American. |
No valuation opinion has been obtained within the last 12 months by Pan American to support the consideration paid by Pan American for its acquisition of Pan American Nevada. |
Pan American Nevada, J. Graham Douglas, the principal shareholder of Pan American Nevada, and the remaining shareholders of Pan American Nevada were parties to the share purchase agreement for the acquisition. None of the foregoing parties were informed persons, associates or affiliates of Pan American at the time of the acquisition. |

Pan American Gold Corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada, USA on October 24, 2003. The Company is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the sourcing and exploration of mineral properties.
The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
The Company incurred a loss of $12,996 for the year ended December 31, 2003, and had an accumulated deficit of $12,996 at December 31, 2003 which has been funded primarily by loans from its sole director. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs.
These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation — These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, 680102 B.C. Ltd., prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The Company also has a 50% interest in the Cactus Precious Metals LLC joint venture. This interest is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby the Company’s proportionate interest in the joint venture’s assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses are included in the financial statements.
Mineral properties — The Company accounts for mineral property costs in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3061, “Property, plant and equipment” (“CICA 3061”), and abstract EIC 126, “Accounting by Mining Enterprises for Exploration Costs” (“EIC 126”) of the Emerging Issues Committee. CICA 3061 provides for the capitalization of the acquisition and exploration costs of a mining property where such costs are considered to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment. EIC 126 provides that a mining enterprise is not precluded from considering exploration costs to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment when it has not established mineral reserves objectively and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future net cash flow from the property.
Period from October 24, 2003 to December 31, 2003 Expressed in U.S. Dollars
Mineral property costs include initial acquisition costs and related option payments, which are recorded when paid. Exploration and development costs for unproven reserves are expensed as incurred. Option payments are credited against mineral property costs when received. No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received.
CICA 3061 also provides that property, plant and equipment be written down when the long term expectation is that the net carrying amount will not be recovered. EIC 126 states that a mining enterprise which has not objectively established mineral reserves and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future cash flow from a property is not obliged to conclude that the capitalized costs have been impaired. However, EIC 126 references certain conditions that should be considered in determining subsequent write downs, such as changes or abandonment of a work program or poor exploration results, and management reviews such conditions to determine whether a write down of capitalized costs is required. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount, provision is made for the impairment in value.
Accounting standards subsequently issued by the CICA dealing with Intangible Assets (CICA 1581 and CICA 3062) include reference to “Use rights such as drilling, water, air, mineral, timber cutting, and route authorities” as examples of intangible assets. CICA 3062 also states, inter alia, that intangible assets should be amortized over their useful life and tested for impairment. Management has reviewed this potential reporting conflict with the previously issued standards and is of the opinion that it is appropriately accounting for its mineral properties as having the characteristics of property, plant and equipment.
The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of CICA Handbook Section 3063, “Impairment of Long lived Assets”, which will become effective for its 2004 fiscal year. Management does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have an impact on its financial statements.
Environmental costs — Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and which to not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed as incurred. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts.
Foreign currency translation — The Company translates transactions denominated in foreign currency to U.S. dollars using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange and other assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates of exchange. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. All exchange gains and losses are recognized currently in earnings.
Loss per share — The Company uses the “treasury stock method” in computing loss per share. Under this method, basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Period from October 24, 2003 to December 31, 2003 Expressed in U.S. Dollars
Future income taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method of tax allocation. Future income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities, if any, of a change in rates is included in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its future income tax assets based on the extent to which it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be realized during the carryforward periods to utilize all future tax assets.
Financial instruments — The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, other receivables, reclamation bond, accounts payable and accrued expenses and amounts due to director. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or currency risk arising from its financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that certain of its cash and other receivables are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company does not have foreign exchange hedges in place at this time.
Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cactus Precious Metals, LLC — On November 26, 2003 the Company invested $90,000 cash to acquire 50% of the units of Cactus Precious Metals LLC, a Colorado, USA limited liability company (“Cactus LLC”). The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly these consolidated financial statements include the operations of Cactus LLC from the effective date of the transaction.
Total consideration for the acquisition was allocated based on estimated fair values on the acquisition date as follows:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles but do not conform in all respects to the note disclosure requirements for its annual financial statements. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting principles and policies described in the annual financial statements, except as noted below, and should be read in conjunction with those statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included in these financial statements.
The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
On January 21, 2004 advances of $310,000 from the Company’s sole director were exchanged for 620,000 common shares of the Company.
The Company has authorized capital of 25,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. Issued share capital is as follows:

To the Directors of Pan American Gold Corporation
We have read the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Pan American Gold Corporation (“Pan American”) as at March 31, 2004 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated earnings statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2003, and have performed the following procedures:
1. | Compared the figures in the column captioned “Pan American” to the unaudited financial statements of Pan American Gold Corporation (“Pan American”) (formerly Tri-Lateral Venture Corporation) as at March 31, 2004 and for the three months then ended, and the audited financial statements of Pan American for the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively, and found them to be in agreement. |
2. | Compared the figures in the column captioned “Pan American (Nevada)” to the unaudited financial statements Pan American Gold Corporation (a Nevada Corporation) (“Pan American Nevada”) as at March 31, 2004 and for the three months then ended, and the audited financial statements of Pan American Nevada for the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively, and found them to be in agreement. |
3. | Made enquiries of certain officials of Pan American who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about: |
a. | the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and |
b. | whether the pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with regulatory requirements of the various Securities Commissions and similar regulatory authorities in Canada. |
The officials: |
a. | described to us the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments, and |
b. | stated that the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements comply as to form in all material respects with regulatory requirements of the various Securities Commissions and similar regulatory authorities in Canada. |
4. | Read the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated 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 “Pan American” and “Pan American (Nevada)” as at March 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and for the year ended December 31, 2003, and found the amounts in the column captioned “Pro Forma Consolidated” to be arithmetically correct. |
A pro forma financial statement is 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 unaudited 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.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of Pan American Gold Corporation (the “Company”) (formerly Tri-Lateral Venture Corporation) have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles from information derived from the financial statements of each of the Company and Pan American Gold Corporation (a Nevada Corporation) (“Pan American Nevada”), together with other information available to the Company. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company to give effect to the purchase of all the issued and outstanding shares of Pan American Nevada. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the transactions described below.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2004 unaudited financial statements of the Company and Pan American Nevada.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Company have been compiled from and include:
(a)theCompany’s unaudited balance sheet as at March 31, 2004 and earnings statement for the three months then ended, |
(b)Pan American Nevada’s unaudited balance sheet as at March 31, 2004 and earnings statement for the three months then ended, and |
(c)the additional information set out in Note 2. |
2. PRO-FORMA TRANSACTION AND ASSUMPTIONS
a) Stock split — On May 6, 2004 the Company split its common stock on the basis of seven new shares for one old share.
b) Acquisition of Pan American (Nevada) — The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition by the Company of 100% of the outstanding shares of Pan American (Nevada) as if the acquisition had occurred as at March 31, 2004 and for the three months then ended and for the year ended December 31, 2003 respectively.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the assumption that the Company will purchase all of the Pan American (Nevada) common shares in exchange for 3,370,000 post-split common shares of the Company.
The cost of an acquisition should be based on the fair value of the consideration given, except where the fair value of the consideration given is not clearly evident. In such a case, the fair value of the net assets acquired is used. Since the Company’s common shares are thinly traded, the actual market value is not readily determinable. Therefore, the value of the shares issued on acquisition is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair value of Pan American (Nevada)‘s net assets was $639,448.
March 31, 2004 Unaudited — See Compilation Report
The total purchase price of $639,448 has been allocated as follows:
Cash | $ | 339,677 | |||
Mineral properties | 300,264 | ||||
Other receivables | 12,828 | ||||
Other assets | 10,121 | ||||
662,890 | |||||
Liabilities assumed | (23,442 | ) | |||
Total purchase price | $ | 639,448 | |||
In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed its accounting policy in respect of exploration and development expenditures in order to achieve consistency with the policy of Pan American (Nevada). The Company’s previous policy was to capitalize exploration and development costs of unproven properties, whereas Pan American (Nevada)‘s policy is to expense exploration and development costs of unproven properties as incurred. The change in policy will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements as a prior period adjustment to retained earnings as at December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Company’s unaudited pro forma consolidated mineral properties and retained earnings at December 31, 2003 have been reduced by $12,775.
Upon completion of the pro forma transactions the Company’s share capital will be as follows:
(a) Authorized:
Unlimited common shares without par value.
Unlimited non-voting convertible redeemable non-cumulative 6% preference shares without par value.
