1.           CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on April 21, 1999 and its shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange on April 21, 2000.

The Company is an exploration company working on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreement principally in Mexico. The Company has not yet determined whether these mineral properties contain any economically recoverable ore reserves. The Company defers all acquisition, exploration and development costs related to the properties on which it is conducting exploration. The recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the interests, and future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on a profitable basis.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses from inception and does not currently have the financial resources to sustain operations in the long-term. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability in the future to achieve profitable operations and, in the meantime, to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due. External financing, predominantly by the issuance of equity to the public, will be sought to finance the operations of the Company.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and include the following significant policies outlined below.

(a)           Principles of consolidation

The financial statements of entities which are controlled by the Company through voting equity interests, referred to as subsidiaries, are consolidated.  Entities which are jointly controlled, referred to as joint ventures, are proportionately consolidated.  Variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which include, but are not limited to, special purpose entities, trusts, partnerships, and other legal structures, as defined by the Accounting Standards Board in Accounting Guideline (“AcG”) 15, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“AcG 15”), are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a “controlling financial interest” or there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.  VIEs are subject to consolidation by the primary beneficiary who will absorb the majority of the entities’

(a)           Principles of consolidation (continued)

expected losses and/or expected residual returns.  The Company does not believe that it has any VIEs subject to consolidation.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.  The principal subsidiary at June 30, 2007 is Minera Los Lagartos, S.A. de C.V. which holds several properties in Mexico.

(b)           Measurement uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reported period. Significant estimates used in preparation of these financial statements include estimates of the net realizable value of mineral properties and deferred exploration costs, asset retirement obligations, stock based compensation, income tax provisions and contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimated.

(c)           Asset retirement obligations

The Company records the present value of asset retirement obligations including reclamation costs when the obligation is incurred and it is recorded as a liability with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related mining assets.  The carrying value is amortized over the life of the related mining asset on a units-of-production basis commencing with initial commercialization of the asset.  The liability is accreted to the actual liability on settlement through charges each period in the statement of operations.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(d)           Financial instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, interest receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amounts due to Peñoles reported in the balance sheet approximate their respective fair values.

Price risk is the risk that the value of the Company’s financial instruments will vary because of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Certain of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in Mexican pesos.  The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

(e)           Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term money market instruments which are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less.  The Company holds no asset backed commercial paper.

Details of cash and cash equivalents are as follows:

(f)           Mineral rights and deferred exploration costs

The Company is in the exploration stage with respect to its activities and accordingly follows the practice of capitalizing all costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and development of its mining rights and crediting all revenues received against the cost of the related interests. At such time as commercial production commences, these costs will be charged to operations on a units-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. The carrying values related to abandoned interests are charged to operations at the time of any abandonment.

Mineral rights include costs to acquire options to acquire interests in unproven mineral properties.

Deferred exploration costs include direct exploration costs incurred by the Company in its effort to determine the existence of economically mineable ore including the cost of feasibility studies.

Management reviews the carrying value of mineral rights and deferred exploration costs at least quarterly for evidence of impairment. This review is generally made with reference to the timing of exploration work, work programs proposed, exploration results achieved by the Company and by others in the related area of interest, and an assessment

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

of the likely results to be achieved from performance of further exploration. When the results of this review indicate that a condition of impairment exists, the Company estimates the net recoverable amount of the deferred exploration costs and related mining rights by reference to the potential for success of further exploration activity and/or the likely proceeds to be received from sale or assignment of the rights. When the carrying values of mining rights or deferred exploration costs are estimated to exceed their net recoverable amounts, a provision is made for the decline in value.

(g)           Equipment and leaseholds

Equipment and leaseholds are recorded at cost and are amortized on the declining balance basis at the following annual rates:

Computer equipment and software                               30%
Field equipment                                                               30%

The leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis to amortize the costs over the three year term of the related lease.

 (h)           Income taxes

Future income taxes relate to the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax values.  Future tax assets, if any, are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the future income tax assets will be realized.  Future income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of substantive enactment.

(i)           Foreign exchange translation

The accounts of the Company’s foreign operations are considered to be integrated with the operations of the Company and are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:

·  
monetary assets and liabilities at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

·  
non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical rates; and

·  
income and expenses at the average rate in effect during the year.

The resulting translation adjustment is included as a component of foreign exchange (gain) loss on the statement of operations.

(j)           Stock-based compensation

The fair value of all stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments are estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and are recorded in operations over their vesting periods.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The total compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations for share purchase options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 amount to $2,747,555 (2006 - $1,954,298). Please refer to Note 4 (b) for a summary of stock options granted in the current year and the related valuation assumptions.

(k)           Earnings (loss) per common share

Basic earnings (loss) per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

The Company uses the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, but are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive securities totalling 4,796,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (3,422,500 and 1,373,500 shares arising from outstanding and exercisable stock options and share purchase warrants, respectively) and 5,920,487 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (2,842,500 and 3,077,987 shares arising from outstanding exercisable stock options and share purchase warrants, respectively) were not included as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

(l)           Comprehensive Income

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, CICA Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instrument Presentation and Disclosure and CICA Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments– Recognition and Measurement, CICA Handbook Section 3865, Hedges, and CICA Handbook Section 3251, Equity.  These new Handbook Sections provide comprehensive requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments, transaction costs incurred on financial instruments, as well as standards on when and how hedge accounting may be applied.  CICA Handbook Section 1530 also introduces a new component of equity referred to as comprehensive income.  The Company has adopted these standards prospectively.

In accordance with this new standard, the Company now classifies all financial instruments as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, held-for-trading, loans and receivables, or other financial liabilities.  Financial assets held to maturity, loans and receivables and financial liabilities other than those held for trading, are measured at amortized cost.  Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income.  Instruments classified as held for trading are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations.  Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Upon adoption of this new standard, the Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value.  Accounts receivable and other are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost.  Restricted certificates of deposit are classified as held-to-maturity, and are measured at amortized cost.  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, property and mining taxes payable, convertible debentures, notes payable, and accrued site closure costs are classified as other liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.

(m)           Comparative figures

Certain of the prior years’ comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the classifications used in 2007.

6.           INCOME TAXES

The recovery for income taxes reported differs from the amounts computed by applying the cumulative Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates to the pre-tax loss principally due to the impact of non-deductible expenses and the recognition of a valuation allowance on the future tax benefit of losses incurred in the period.

The approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference that gives rise to the Company’s future income tax assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

7.           MINERAL RIGHTS AND DEFERRED EXPLORATION COSTS (Continued)

(a)           Juanicipio Property

The Company, through its subsidiary, Minera Los Lagartos, S.A. de C.V. (“Lagartos”), acquired a 100% interest in a 7,679 hectare exploration concession on the Juanicipio property, located in the Fresnillo District, Zacatecas, Mexico. On April 4, 2005 the Company announced the signing of a binding letter of agreement for the establishment of an exploration Joint Venture on the concession with Industrias Peñoles, S.A. de C.V. (“Peñoles”).  A formal agreement was later signed with an anniversary date of July 1, 2005 (the “Formal Agreement”).

The principal features of the agreement are:

 
(i)
Peñoles acquired a right to earn a 56% interest in the Juanicipio property upon completion of exploration expenditures of US $5.0 million on or before the end of year four of the agreement.  The Company will retain a 44% interest in the property.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2007 the expenditure requirement was completed by Peñoles.  To September 30, 2007 Peñoles had spent approximately US $10.91 million on qualified expenditures for the property, including the completion of 29,000 metres of diamond drilling, and the payment of US $6.68 million for the purchase of surface rights over portions of the property.  At September 30, 2007 the Company has recorded an obligation of US $2,928,000 (C$2,928,000) payable to Peñoles for the Company’s 44% share of expenditures in excess of US $5.0 million.

(ii)  
On signing of the agreement Peñoles subscribed for a required US$500,000 private placement for a total of 621,577 shares of the Company at a price of C$0.967 per share.  Later, on March 2, 2006, Peñoles subscribed for a second required US$500,000 private placement for a total of 245,716 MAG shares, at a price of C$2.35 per share.

(iii)  
Peñoles and MAG will now participate in the project as a joint venture and will participate in programs and expenditures on a pro rata basis, with Peñoles contributing 56% and MAG 44% respectively. Peñoles maintains its position as the operator of the project and will present programs to the project management team for joint approval going forward.  At the time of writing a new company is in process of being incorporated to hold and operate the Juanicipio property subject to a shareholders agreement being written and executed which will reflect the original spirit, terms and conditions of the Formal Agreement.  The Company will transfer its interest in the property to this new company once it is incorporated.
