Nature and History of Business

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario on April 24, 1967. 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 trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “NCSLF”. On November 21, 2008, the Company changed its name from Pan American Gold Corporation to Newcastle Resources Ltd. and effected a share consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one share for every thirty shares held.

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing (when appropriate) resource properties.

In 2006 and 2007, the Company’s focus was the Huicicila property located in Nayarit State, Mexico. This property was abandoned during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company currently owns the Lennie property, a gold exploration project located in the Red Lake Mining District of Ontario, Canada. In addition to the surface rights, the Company owns ten patented claims for the mineral rights on the Lennie property.

We do not have defined mineral resources or reserves on any of our resource 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.

Overall Performance

Huicicila Property, Nayarit State, Mexico

In May 2006, we commenced evaluation of the Huicicila property in Nayarit State, Mexico. After completing a due diligence review, a letter agreement was signed to acquire a 100% interest in the Huicicila property, subject to a 3% NSR, by completing the following:

Year 1:

Payment of US$20,000 (paid) at the beginning of the option period and a second payment of US$40,000 six months later. Pan American was to complete fieldwork commitments of US$100,000 (paid) on direct exploration of the property. The due date for the second payment was extended until May 12, 2007.

Year 2:

Payment of US$120,000 on the anniversary date of the option period and fieldwork commitments of US$200,000 to be completed.

Year 3:

Payment of US$170,000 on the anniversary date of the option period and fieldwork commitments of US$300,000 to be completed.

Year 4:

Payment of US$750,000 of which, at the discretion of the Company, up to 50% can be payable in shares of the Company.

In October 2006, we executed a definitive option agreement for the Huicicila property through the Company’s wholly owned Mexican subsidiary Compania Minera P.A.M., S.A. de C.V.

In fiscal 2007, the Company decided to dispose of its interest in Huicicila property based on difficulty in securing financing. This property would have required a significant level of expenditure in the summer of 2007 in order to maintain the Company’s interest and consequently the disposition decision was made.

 

 



 

 

General Activities

The Company is continuing with its restructuring plan which included the name change, the share consolidation and the approval of a private placement of up to 10,000,000 post consolidation shares at US$0.05 per share, all of which were approved by the Company’s shareholders at its annual and special meeting on September 9, 2008. The Company will continue to review opportunities in the resource sector with a view to attracting additional financing and increasing shareholder value.

We have maintained our 100% interest in the Lennie property located Red Lake Mining District of Ontario, Canada and have had discussions with other resource companies with respect to optioning an interest in the property for an exploration commitment.

Private Placements

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed a private placement whereby it issued 1,000,000 units for net proceeds of $51,860. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at US$0.05 until August 24, 2009.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed a private placement whereby it issued 814,140 units for net proceeds of $95,930. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at US$0.20 until March 5, 2009.

Investor Relations

The Company terminated its investor relations agreement with 314 Finance Corp. on April 1, 2007. The contract called for payments of US$5,000 per month. The Company did not replace 314 Finance Corp. subsequent to the termination of the contract and currently has no investor relations commitments.

Results of Operations

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased to $103,321 from $343,525 in the prior period. The Company’s decreased activity in exploration and in general operations caused expenses to decrease in virtually all categories.

Cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $136,462 compared to $249,428 used in operations in the prior period notably due to decreases in operating expenses as described above.

The following is a summary of our financial results for the eight most recently completed quarters:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has financed its operations to date through the issuance of equity and debt. As at September 30, 2008, we had a working capital deficiency of $220,474.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received advances for working capital of $US134,976 which are included in current liabilities as advances payable at September 30, 2008. These advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific terms of repayment.

Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our near term administrative overhead obligations and funds will be required to maintain the Lennie property and to investigate new projects. Additional advances or equity financings will be required. The Company proposes to complete a private placement of up to US$500,000 through the issuance of up to 10,000,000 post consolidation shares at US$0.05 per share in the near future however there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the financing.

Proposed Transactions

The Company proposes to complete a private placement of up to US$500,000 through the issuance of up to 10,000,000 post consolidation shares at US$0.05 per share.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We have adopted amortization policies, which, in the opinion of management, are reflective of the estimated useful lives less abandonment costs, if any, of our assets. We have not currently recorded any amounts in respect of these policies.

In addition, we are capitalizing costs related to the development and furtherance of resource properties. The recovery of those costs will be dependent on our ability to discover and develop economic reserves. 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 option valuation model in calculating stock based compensation expense. The model requires that estimates be made of option life and stock price volatility and the ensuing results could vary significantly if changes are made in these assumptions.

Changes in Accounting Policies

There were no changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s significant accounting policies are outlined in its annual December 31, 2007 audited consolidated financial statements.

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

The Company will be required to report utilizing IFRS effective on January 1, 2011. In order to accomplish this, the Company will need to have a comparative statement prepared utilizing IFRS available for January 1, 2010. Effectively this means that IFRS will need to be implemented January 1, 2010 with an opening balance sheet.

Our CFO is beginning to familiarize himself with IFRS. In addition, our audit committee will determine whether additional training for our directors and officers is necessary.

During the remainder of 2008 and in the first half of 2009 we will determine which International Accounting Standards will affect our financial statements and if there are any choices to be made in the adoption of the new standards.

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances payable and loan payable. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values. The Company’s advances payable and loan payable are denominated in US dollars and therefore the Company is exposed to currency risk, however, the Company issues shares in US dollars which mitigates this risk.

Management Changes

On February 15, 2008, Denny Roman resigned from the board of directors. Mr. Roman was replaced by Brent Petterson. Mr. Petterson is a Certified General Accountant with fifteen years experience in financial reporting matters associated with public companies. He is currently on the board of directors of Garibaldi Resources Corp. and is the CFO of Pacific Coast Nickel Corp.

 

 



 

 

On March 13, 2008, Giovanni Lopez resigned from the board of directors. Mr. Lopez was replaced by John Toljanich. Mr. Toljanich is a retired businessman with extensive experience as a director of public resource and energy companies.

On May 9, 2008, Steve Bajic resigned from the board of directors and from his position President and CEO of the Company. In addition, Martin Bajic resigned his position as CFO of the Company. Steve Bajic was replaced on the board of directors by Roy Brown. Mr. Brown is currently working as a consultant to Zena Capital Corp., a public company involved in barite mining in British Columbia, Canada. Mr. Brown is also the President of Roymor Market Services Inc., a private company in the business of assisting public companies in identifying sources of capital. John Toljanich replaced Steve Bajic as President and CEO of the Company. Brent Petterson replaced Martin Bajic as CFO of the Company.

As a result of the above resignations, all outstanding stock options to prior management were cancelled. No new options have been granted.

Outstanding Share Data

At September 30, 2008, there were 37,766,256 common shares issued and outstanding. At December 1, 2008, there were 1,258,875 common shares issued and outstanding as a result of the share consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

In addition to the other risks and uncertainties set out earlier in this MD&A, the Company is also exposed to the following risks and uncertainties:

General Risk Associated with the Mining Industry

 

 



 

 

The Company is engaged in the exploration for and development of mineral deposits. These activities involve significant risks which careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not, in some cases eliminate. The commercial viability of any mineral deposit depends on many factors not all of which are within the control of management. Some of the factors that affect the financial viability of a given mineral deposit include its size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, government regulation, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, environmental protection and reclamation and closure obligations, have an impact on the economic viability of a mineral deposit. Management attempts to mitigate its exploration risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and a strategy of possible joint ventures with other companies which balances risk while at the same time allowing properties to be advanced.

Dependence on Key Personnel

Loss of certain members of the executive team or key operational leaders of the company could have a disruptive effect on the implementation of the Company’s business strategy and the efficient running of day-to-day operations until their replacement is found. Recruiting personnel is time consuming and expensive and the competition for professionals are intense. The Company may be unable to retain its key employees or attract, assimilate, retain or train other necessary qualified employees, which may restrict its growth potential.
