MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
May 30, 2006
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the two quarters ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes dated December 31 2005 and the interim unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31 2006. Our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. All dollar amounts included in the following discussion are expressed in Canadian dollars.
Nature of Business
Our company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (specifically under the Ontario Business Corporations Act) on April 24, 1967 under the name "Jolly Jumper Products of America Limited". On September 25, 1987, our name was changed to Sun Valley Hot Springs Ranch Inc. Our name changed to Tri-Valley Free Trade Inc. on March 26, 1991 and to Tri-Valley Investments Corporation on June 19, 1995. On October 2, 1998, our name changed to Tri-Lateral Venture Corporation and, on May 6, 2004, our name was changed to our present legal and commercial name "Pan American Gold Corporation". We are a reporting issuer under the securities laws of the Province of Ontario. We are a foreign private issuer with a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Our common shares began quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on April 19, 2004. On May 6, 2004, the issued and unissued shares of common stock were split on the basis of seven (7) common shares for each one (1) common share and our name was changed to Pan American Gold Corporation in conjunction with the acquisition of Pan American Gold Corporation (Nevada) (“Pan American Nevada”). The forward split and name change were not effected with the OTC Bulletin Board until June 2, 2004 at which time our trading symbol was changed to “PNAMF”.
We are in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing (when appropriate) natural resource properties. Our primary property prior to the acquisition of Pan American Nevada was the Lennie property, a gold exploration project located in the Red Lake gold camp in Ontario which we still own.
With the acquisition of the Nevada subsidiary we acquired four properties: Kinsley and Pinnacle located in Nevada, USA, Cactus in California, USA and Eskay Creek in British Columbia, Canada. During 2004, we conducted some exploratory drilling on the Cactus and Kinsley properties. The exploration results were disappointing and these properties were subsequently abandoned. The Pinnacle property was abandoned when difficulties obtaining necessary permitting did not allow for any on site evaluation prior to a significant property payment.
We do not have defined mineral resources or reserves on any of its exploration properties. Discovering new mineral deposits is dependent on a number of factors including the experience of exploration personnel involved, the location of the property, and most important, stable funding of exploration programs. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent on a number of factors including country of location, 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 success that a new discovery will be economic, as well as the improving access to capital to finance on-going activities.
Overview of Operations
Disposition of Eskay Creek Property
|
In February 2006, we entered into a termination agreement whereby we transferred our undivided 75% |
interest in and to certain mining claims situated in the Eskay Creek region, Skeena and Liard Mining Divisions, British Columbia. Pursuant to this agreement, we assigned our interest in these properties to a shareholder of our company, Matt Mason, in consideration for the return to treasury of 800,000 of our common shares.
Option of Mexican Silver Property
In the first quarter of 2006, we commenced evaluation of the la Reforma property in Mexico and are not required to make any payments until that review was completed. The Due diligence has been completed and we have decided not to pursue this acquisition.
Option of Narayit Province Mexico Gold Property
Early in the second quarter the Company entered into an agreement whereby it can after a review period earn a 100% interest in a gold property located in Narayit Province Mexico. The review has commenced and a decision on that acquisition will be made shortly
Private Placements
On April 13, 2006, we sold one million units at US$0.50 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one share and one warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional share for US$0.80 for a period of one year from the date of issuance. Gross proceeds of the placement were US$500,000.
On March 22, 2006, we announced a private placement of up to 2.5 million units at US$0.60 per unit. Each unit will be comprised of one share and one half warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional share at an exercise price of US$0.90 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. We anticipate that the gross proceeds of the placement will be US$1,500,000.
Management Changes
We have recently completed a change in our management. Greg Burnett and Rick Bachman resigned as officers and directors and have been replaced by Steve Bajic. Mr Bajic has assumed the role of President on an interim basis and has been appointed as a director. In addition, Wicktor Musisl has been appointed as a director.
General Activities
During the quarter, we have been pursuing additional financing. We made the difficult decision to dispose of the Eskay Creek property. We had maintained the Eskay Creek property and have evaluated the previous season’s geophysical data, but did not have the resources to continue to explore the property and have concluded discussions with the original vendor of the property to divest the property.
We have maintained our Red Lake property and have had discussions with resource companies over the past year with respect to optioning an interest in the property for an exploration commitment.
Our recent activity has focused on the review and acquisition of two properties located in Mexico. We are continuing to evaluate the Narayit gold property and our recent private placements have provided sufficient cash to perform the evaluations and if the evaluation is completed satisfactorily we will move to an initial exploration of these property.

In 2004, we conducted significant exploration activities until a shortage of available funds necessitated a reduction in activity in 2005 and to date. In 2002 and 2003, we were relatively inactive while we restructured our operations. During 2005, we continued to look for new properties and to secure financing. We were not successful in raising financing until early 2006. If the results of the due diligence on the La Reforma and the Narryit property are favourable then the funds raised and being raised will be used to advance these properties.
Results of Operations
Due to low working capital, operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 have been limited to clearing up details of our Nevada operations, securing the return of reclamation bonds, a review of data from the geophysical survey of our Eskay Creek property and disposition thereof, and review of options to raise additional capital and acquire new resource opportunities.
At March 31, 2005, we had a working capital of 451,396 compared with a deficit of $85,533 at the Year ended December 31 2005. We expect that we will require additional financing to provide adequate funds to carry out additional exploration activities on our properties, which, if not raised, could require curtailment of activities in the future.
Cash used in operations was $ 41,771 remained very close to last year decreasing from $68,592in the same period last year.
General and administrative expenses declined from $118,315 in 2005 to $34,332 this year. Most of this decrease was due to reduced consulting fees which declined from $98,731 to 29,8776. The decline was due to the reductions in the later part of the year in activity levels due to cash shortages.

Liquidity
We have total assets of $3,476,346. Our primary assets are cash of $ 532,362 resource properties of $13,270 and the interest in the Limited Partnership interest of $2,926,910. We have no long-term liabilities other than a promissory note of $3,169,497 related to the partnership interest. We expect to dispose of the partnership interest in the next quarter at a nominal gain.
At December 31 2005, we had a working capital deficit as of March 31 2006 we have working capital of $451,396 During the year ended December 31, 2005, we negotiated private placements, and a private placements were completed during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The next step which will be to close the US$1,500,000; 2.5 million unit financing announced on March 22 2006 which is expected within several weeks of this report.
It was management’s opinion that its cash reserves were not sufficient to meet our near term administrative overhead obligations and additional loan or equity financing was required the recent closing has provided sufficient cash to allow the acquisition of new properties and the commencement of exploration thereon, should the initials reviews prove satisfactory. Should these fund be expended and subsequent financings not materialize curtailment of activity may occur again.
We have maintained our interest in the Ontario located Lennie property. There is exploration activity in the area and further exploration will be conducted if warranted we continue to maintain a watch on nearby claims.
Activity for 2006 will focus on the Narayit property assuming that the due diligence investigation is successful we expect to review other potential acquisitions.
Capital Resources
We do not own any producing mineral properties. Capital required to operate must come from equity financings or from other sources such as joint venture partners.

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements to which we are committed. |

Critical Accounting Estimates
We have adopted depreciation policies, which, in the opinion of management, are reflective of the estimated useful lives and abandonment cost, if any, of our assets. We have not currently recorded any amounts in respect of abandonment, as none of these costs have been identified at present.
In addition, we are capitalizing costs related to the development and furtherance of development properties. The recovery of those costs will be dependant on our ability to discover and develop economic reserves and then develop the projects in an economic fashion. Management believes that costs capitalized in respect of these projects are not impaired and no adjustments to carrying values are required at this time.
We use the Black Scholes valuation model in calculating stock based compensation expenses. The model requires that estimates be made of volatility; interest rates and the ensuing results could vary significantly if changes are made in these assumptions.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash, other receivables, deposits, reclamation bonds, investment in limited partnership, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans payable and promissory note. The loans payable are non interest-bearing.
It is management's opinion that our company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its other financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values except where separately disclosed.
Outstanding Share Data
As of March 31, 2005, there were 34,927,116 fully paid and non-assessable common shares issued and outstanding in the capital of our company.
