Risk Factors.

RISK FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPANY

The business of the Company entails significant risks, and an investment in the Shares should be considered highly speculative for a variety of reasons. An investment in the Shares should only be undertaken by persons who have sufficient financial resources to enable them to assume such risks. In addition to the usual risks associated with investment in a business, the following is a general description of significant risk factors, which should be considered.

We Have No Ongoing Mining Operations, None of our Mineral Properties Contain a Known Commercially Mineable Mineral Deposit, We Have Never Received Any Revenues From Mining Operations, and Our Chances of Reaching the Development Stage on Any of our Properties are Remote.

Since our inception, we have never engaged in any mining operations and the Company has not generated any revenues from mining operations. Our activities have been limited to the highly speculative business of acquiring and exploring properties in the hope that commercial quantities of gold, uranium or other minerals, will be discovered. At the present time, none of our properties contain a known commercially mineable mineral deposit. We believe that the probability of our reaching the development stage on any of our properties is remote for a number of reasons. The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the following: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which are highly cyclical; and government regulations,

3





Table of Contents

including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. Because so few properties which are explored ever become producing mines, investors must be prepared for the possibility that we will be unsuccessful and that they could lose their entire investment.

In the remote possibility that we place any of our properties into production, we would face numerous risks associated with mining operations. These risks include adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labor disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes, and the inability to maintain the infrastructure for our production activities. Mining and mining exploration is risky, presenting potentially dangerous conditions for workers. Large, heavy equipment and machinery is used and toxic substances are utilized and encountered in exploration, extraction, and processing. Misuse and accidents could result in serious injury and death to personnel. Such events could be caused by numerous factors including faulty equipment, unsafe practices, explosions, fires, natural phenomenon (such as lightning, mudslides, cave-ins, etc.), which may be impossible to avoid and protect against. In the event of any such misuse, accidents or natural disasters, personnel could be injured and killed, and mining operations suspended or terminated. In addition, any future development activities, of which there can be no assurance, would depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important factors, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could make it very difficult, if not impossible, to engage in any development activities and force us to incur expenses that we had not planned on spending.

We Will Need to Raise Substantial Funding in Order to Carry Out Our Activities.

The Company has substantial financial obligations, including exploration funding requirements and purchase payment obligations, relating to its existing property interests. It will be necessary in the near and over the long term to raise substantial funds to maintain existing property interests, acquire, explore, and if warranted, develop mineral properties. In addition, in the event it is determined that any of our properties contain a commercially mineable mineral deposit, of which there can be no assurance, it is anticipated that the Company would require substantial funds to place such property into production. However, there can be no assurance we would be able to raise the necessary funds on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise these funds, investors could lose their investment. If we are able to raise these funds, it is likely that investors will experience dilution of their interests, which could result in a decrease in the value of their Shares. Reference is made to ‘‘Item 4. Information on the Company. D. Property, Plants and Equipment’’ and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.’’

Lack of Revenue Producing Operations.

Since inception, the Company has not generated any revenues from mining operations. Accordingly, the Company’s business operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in companies without cash flow or earnings. The future earnings, if any, and cash flow, if any, from operations of the Company are dependent, in part, on its ability to locate properties containing commercially mineable mineral deposits, of which there can be no assurance.

We Could Lose our Interests in our Properties if Minimum Annual Work is Not Conducted and Option Payments are not Made.

In order to maintain our interests in our various properties, the Company is required to complete certain annual work commitments on each property and make certain option or purchase payments. In the event such work is not completed or the required payments are not made, the Company could lose its interest in that property. Reference is made to ‘‘Item 4. Information on the Company. D. Property, Plants and Equipment.’’ for a description of the Company’s work and payment commitments on its various properties.

Our Chief Executive Officer and President has Resigned and his Replacement does not Come from the Mining Industry. Our Chief Financial Officer has also Resigned and no Replacement has yet been Appointed.

On June 2, 2008, the Company announced that Marek Kreczmer, its Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Mr. William Thomas, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, would be resigning their positions with the Company effective July 30, 2008. Messrs. Kreczmer and Thomas were the Company’s only full-time employees and were responsible for the management of the Company. On June 16, 2008, the Company announced that John Lynch, a director of the Company, had been appointed its President and Chief Executive Officer. A replacement for Mr. Thomas has not yet been appointed. While Mr. Lynch’s background is not in the mining industry, he has many years of business experience both as an investor and in senior management in mining exploration companies. In addition, the Company intends to hire technical mining consultants and it is anticipated that Mr. Kreczmer will provide continued technical advice as a member of the Advisory Board during the transition. However, in the event the Company is unable to hire experienced mining consultants or Mr. Kreczmer ceases to provide advice to management, its ability to pursue it business plan as a mining exploration company could be adversely affected. In addition, it will be necessary for the Company to raise substantial funds, over the near and long term, to maintain existing property interests, acquire, explore, and if warranted, develop mineral properties. The absence of management experienced in mining could make it more difficult to raise the required funds, as investors may be reluctant to invest in such a company.

Title To Our Mining Properties Has Not Been Verified.

Although the title to the properties in which the Company holds interests were reviewed by or on behalf of us, and title opinions were delivered to us, no assurances can be given that there are no title defects affecting such properties. Title insurance generally is not available for mining claims in Canada, and that our ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained. The Company has not conducted surveys of the claims in which it holds direct or indirect interests; therefore, the precise area and location of such claims may be in doubt. Accordingly, the properties may be subject to prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims, including native land claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. In addition, the Company may be unable to operate its properties as permitted or to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.

The Value of our Mineral Properties is Dependent Upon Commodity Prices Which Can Fluctuate Widely.

The price of our Shares, our financial results and exploration, development and mining activities may in the future be significantly adversely affected by declines in the price of uranium, gold, copper, or other minerals. Gold, uranium, copper, and other mineral prices fluctuate, like many resource commodities, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control such as the sale or purchase of such commodities by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of major gold, uranium, copper or other mineral-producing countries throughout the world. Although the prices of gold, copper or other minerals have increased in recent years, and future price declines could cause continued development of and commercial production from the Company’s properties to be impracticable. Depending on the price of gold, copper, uranium or other minerals, cash flow from mining operations may not be sufficient and the Company could be forced to discontinue production and may lose its interest in, or may be forced to sell, some of its properties. Future production from the Company’s mining properties is dependent on gold and uranium or other mineral prices that are adequate to make these properties economic.

5





Table of Contents

In addition to adversely affecting the Company’s reserve estimates and its financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if the project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.

We Are Not Engaged in Mining Operations; In the Event We Engage in Mining Operations in the Future, We Would Face Substantial Regulation.

We are not engaged in any mining operations at the present time and there can be no assurance we will ever engage in any mining operations in the future. All of our current activities are exploratory in nature. There can be no assurance that we will discover any precious or base metals, establish the feasibility of mining a deposit, or, if warranted, develop a property to production and maintain production activities, either alone or as a joint venture participant. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we would be able to sell either the deposit or the Company on acceptable terms. Mining operations in Canada are subject to federal, provincial and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Mining operations are also subject to federal, provincial and local laws which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of mining methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for mining operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. No assurance can be given that environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial or local authorities will not be changed with resulting material adverse effects on the Company’s activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays and require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on the Company. Additionally, the Company may be liable for pollution or other environmental damage which it may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons.

Titles to the Mexican Properties in which the Company has an Interest are not Registered in the Name of the Company, Which may Result in Potential Title Disputes Having a Negative Impact on the Company.

All of the agreements under which the Company may earn interests in properties have either been registered or been submitted for registration with the Mexican Public Registry of Mining, but title relating to the properties in which the Company may earn its interests are held in the names of parties other than the Company. Any of such properties may become the subject of an agreement which conflicts with the agreement pursuant to which the Company may earn its interest, in which case the Company may incur expenses in resolving any dispute relating to its interest in such property and such a dispute could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of properties with the possible loss of such properties.

The Properties in Which the Company has Interests in Mexico are Subject to Changes in Governmental Laws, Regulations, Economic Conditions or Shifts in Political Attitudes or Stability in Mexico.

The Company has property interests that are located in Mexico. Any changes in governmental laws, regulations, economic conditions or shifts in political attitudes or stability in Mexico are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. A more detailed analysis is found in ‘‘Item 4. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Regulation of Mining Industry — Mexico.’’

Mexican Foreign Investment and Income Tax Laws apply to the Company.

Corporations in Mexico are taxed only by the Federal Government. Mexico has a general system for taxing corporate income, ensuring that all of a corporation’s earnings are taxed only once, in the fiscal year in which profits are obtained. There are two federal taxes in Mexico that apply to the Picachos Project; an asset tax and a corporate income tax.  Corporations have to pay a federal tax on assets at 1.8% of the average value of assets less certain liabilities.  Corporate income tax is

6





Table of Contents

credited against this tax. Mexican corporate taxes are calculated based on gross revenue deductions for all refining and smelting charges, direct operating costs, and all head office general and administrative costs; and depreciation deductions. The 2008 corporate tax rate in Mexico is 28%.

Foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures may have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position and results.

The Company’s property interests in Mexico make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures which may adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results. As the Company maintains its accounts in Canadian and US dollars, any appreciation in Mexican currency against the Canadian or US dollar will increase our costs of carrying out operations in Mexico. Further, any decrease in the US dollar against the Canadian dollar will result in a loss on our books to the extent we hold funds in US dollars. The steps taken by management to address foreign currency fluctuations may not eliminate all adverse effects and, accordingly, the Company may suffer losses due to adverse foreign currency fluctuations. The Company also bears the risk of incurring losses occasioned as a result of inflation in Mexico.

Regulation of Mining Operations in Mexico is Very Extensive.

Regulatory requirements to which the Company is subject to in Mexico include certain permits that require periodic or annual renewal with governmental and regulatory authorities. In addition, the Company is required to comply with existing permit conditions. Although the Company believes that it is currently in full compliance with existing permit conditions, and although its permits have been renewed by governmental and regulatory authorities in the past, there are no assurances that the applicable governmental and regulatory authorities will renew the permits as they expire, or that pending or future permit applications will be granted, or that existing permits will not be revoked. In the event that the required permits are not granted or renewed in a timely manner, or in the event that governmental and regulatory authorities determine that the Company is not in compliance with its existing permits, the Company may be forced to suspend operations.

Risks related to the Company’s Foreign Investments and Operations.

The Company conducts exploration activities in Canada and Mexico and through its investment in Niger Uranium Limited in the Republic of Niger. The Company’s foreign mining investments are subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of business in foreign countries. The occurrence of one or more of these risks could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s earnings or the viability of its affected foreign operations, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s future cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks may include, among others, labor disputes, invalidation of governmental orders and permits, corruption, uncertain political and economic environments, war, civil disturbances and terrorist actions, arbitrary changes in laws or policies of particular countries, foreign taxation, delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary governmental permits, opposition to mining from environmental or other non-governmental organizations, limitations on foreign ownership, limitations on the repatriation of earnings, limitations on gold exports and increased financing costs. These risks may limit or disrupt the Company’s projects, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation.

There is a Risk that we will be Unable to Compete for Mineral Properties, Investment Funds and Technical Expertise.

Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of gold, uranium, and other precious metal acquisition opportunities available in North, South and Central America and elsewhere in the world. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large, established mining companies with substantially greater financial and technical resources than us, we may be unable to acquire additional attractive precious metal mining properties on terms we consider acceptable. Moreover, this competition makes it more difficult for us to attract and retain mining experts, and to secure financing for our operations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our exploration and acquisition programs will be successful or result in any commercial mining operation.

The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labor disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to the Company’s properties or the properties of others, delays, monetary losses and possible legal liability. Although the Company intends to obtain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, it does not have any insurance at the present time other Directors and Officers Liability. If and when insurance is obtained, of which there can be no assurance, the insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with a mining company’s operations. Moreover, the Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. The Company might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which may not be insured against or which the Company may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations. Should a catastrophic event arise, investors could lose their entire investment.

If We are Unable to Maintain the Infrastructure for Our Exploration Activities, We Could be Adversely Affected.

Our exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important factors which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect the Company’s exploration activities and its financial condition.

Management May Be Subject to Conflicts of Interest Due to Affiliations with Other Resource Companies.

Because some of our directors and officers serve as officers and/or directors of other resource exploration companies which are themselves engaged in the search for additional opportunities, situations may arise where these persons are presented with, or identify, resource exploration opportunities that may be or perceived to be in competition with us for exploration opportunities. Since all of our officers and directors have a financial interest in other resource issuers to which they owe a fiduciary duty, it is likely our management may never be financially disinterested in such potential conflict of interest situations. It is likely that these other companies will be in competition with us for properties, funds, and personnel. Although it is anticipated that such potential conflicts will be dealt with in accordance with corporate and common law of the Province of Ontario, there can be no assurance any conflicts will be dealt with in a way that is best for the Company.

Although directors are required to declare and refrain from voting on any matter in which such directors may have a conflict of interest in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and other applicable laws, this could result in a situation where it will be difficult to have a totally disinterested board of directors deciding on a matter.

Our Management May Not Be Subject to U.S. Legal Process.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be adversely affected by the fact that all of our officers and directors are neither citizens nor residents of the United States. There can be no assurance that (a) U.S. stockholders will be able to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons, (b) U.S. stockholders will be able to enforce, in United States courts, judgments against such persons obtained in such courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws, (c) appropriate foreign

courts would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws, and (d) the appropriate foreign courts would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated solely upon the United States federal securities laws.

Prices for Uranium and Precious Metals such as Gold are Volatile and Could Decline.

Historically, gold prices have fluctuated, so that there is no assurance, even if substantial quantities of gold are discovered, that we can make a profit. The prices of gold and uranium fluctuate on a daily basis and have experienced volatile and significant price movements over short periods of time. Prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies), interest rates, central bank transactions, world supply for precious and base metals, international investments, monetary systems, and global or regional consumption patterns (such as the development of gold coin programs), speculative activities and increased worldwide production due to improved mining and production methods. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, and the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving adequate returns on invested capital or the investments retaining their respective values. There is no assurance that the price of gold or uranium will be high enough so that our properties, assuming that we ever discover substantial quantities of ore, could be mined at a profit.

Our Stock will be a Penny Stock which Imposes Significant Restrictions on Broker-Dealers Recommending the Stock For Purchase.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted regulations that define ‘‘penny stock’’ to include common stock that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules include the following requirements: broker-dealers must deliver, prior to the transaction, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market; broker-dealers must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer and its registered representative; broker-dealers must disclose current quotations for the securities; if a broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market; and a broker-dealer must furnish its customers with monthly statements disclosing recent price information for all penny stocks held in the customers’ account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Additional sales practice requirements are imposed on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. If our Shares become subject to these penny stock rules these disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Shares, if such trading market should ever develop, of which there can be no assurance. Accordingly, this may result in a lack of liquidity in the Shares and you may be unable to sell your Shares on terms you consider reasonable.

Our Stock Price Could be Volatile.

The market price of our Shares, like that of the common shares of many other natural resource companies, has been and is likely to remain highly volatile. Results of exploration activities, the price of gold, copper, uranium, and other precious metals, period-to-period fluctuations in our operating results, changes in estimates of the Company’s performance by securities analysts, market conditions for shares of natural resource companies in general, and other factors beyond the control of the Company, could have a significant, adverse impact on the market price of the Shares.

We Do Not Plan to Pay Any Dividends in the Foreseeable Future.

The Company has never paid a dividend and it is unlikely that the Company will declare or pay a dividend until warranted based upon the factors outlined below. The declaration, amount and date of distribution of any dividends in the future will be decided by the Board of Directors from time-to-time, based upon, and subject to, the Company’s earnings, financial requirements and other conditions prevailing at the time.

Future Sales of Common Shares by Existing Shareholders.

Sales of a large number of our Shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Shares and could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through future sales of Shares. The Company has previously issued Shares at an effective price per share which is lower than the effective price of the Shares in the Company’s public offering of its Shares completed in February 2004. Accordingly, certain shareholders of the Company have an investment profit in the Shares that they may seek to liquidate.

General

The Company was founded on September 26, 2003 to explore for precious and base metals and uranium. The Company is currently focused on a gold prospect in Mexico and two uranium prospects in Quebec. The Company is an exploration stage company and is not engaged in any mining operations, and there can be no assurance it will ever engage in mining operations. To date, its only mining interests are (i) an option to acquire a 70% interest in properties in Mexico’s Durango state (the ‘‘Picachos Project’’), (ii) a 30.5% of interest in Niger Uranium Limited, a corporation with interests in eight uranium prospects in the Republic of Niger, Africa, (iii) an option to acquire up to a 65% interest in the North Rae Uranium Project, Northern Quebec, Canada, and (iv) an option to acquire up to a 65% interest in the Daniel Lake Property, Northern Quebec, Canada.

On July 5, 2008 the Company entered into an agreement with Azimut Exploration Inc. (‘‘Azimut’’) to terminate its options on the North Rae and Daniel Lake properties in exchange for

11





Table of Contents

Azimut paying it $4,000,000 by October 3, 2008 and issuing the Company 1,100,000 of Azimut’s common shares. Upon the satisfaction of these conditions, the Company will no longer have any interest in the North Rae Uranium Project and the Daniel Lake Property. In the event Azimut is unable to meet these conditions the agreement will terminate and the Company’s options on the North Rae and Daniel Lake properties will continue. Reference is made to ‘‘Item 4. Property, Plants and Equipment.’’ for a description of the termination agreement with Azimut.

In December 2007 the Company had received notices of default from Azimut Exploration Inc. (‘‘Azimut’’) regarding the North Rae and Daniel Lake properties the Company has optioned from Azimut. Azimut claimed in the notices that the Company had defaulted in its obligations to conduct exploration of these properties. The Company denied that it was in default, and provided Azimut of evidence of the work it had conducted on the properties. On February 12, 2008 the Company announced that Azimut had accepted that the defaults had been cured and that the Company’s options were in good standing.

In July 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with UraMin Inc. (‘‘UraMin’’) to explore for and develop, if warranted, eight uranium properties in Niger. Pursuant to the agreement a new corporation was formed named Niger Uranium Limited (‘‘Niger Uranium’’). Niger Uranium is incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

Under the terms of the agreement with UraMin, the Company contributed to Niger Uranium, its two uranium prospects, the Irhazer and In Gall concessions, while UraMin contributed six properties. The Company received (i) a 50% equity interest in Niger Uranium, (ii) a cash payment of $4,800,000 from UraMin, and (iii) a 3% net smelter royalty on the production of uranium and any other ores and/or minerals produced from the Company’s Irhazer and In Gall concessions. In addition to contributing six potential uranium properties to Niger Uranium, UraMin contributed $15,000,000 U.S. to Niger Uranium to receive a 50% interest. UraMin retained a 3% net smelter royalty on the production of uranium and any other ores and/or minerals produced from the six properties it contributed to Niger Uranium. Reference is made to ‘‘Item 4. Information on the Company. D. Property, Plants and Equipment. B. Interest In Niger Uranium Limited.’’

In December 2007 the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Nu-Mex Uranium Corp. (‘‘Nu-Mex’’) pursuant to which Nu-Mex would acquire 100% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The acquisition was to be completed pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement whereby each of the Company’s outstanding Shares would be exchanged for 0.40 of the Nu-Mex’s common shares. However, on February 13, 2008 the Company announced that as a result of market conditions it and Nu-Mex agreed that the proposed transaction would not go forward.

In addition, the Company had an option to acquire a 75% interest in the Waterbury Project, which consists of nine uranium claims in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada, but on November 30, 2007 decided to drop the option and focus on its other properties, paying a termination fee of $252,358 and writing off $1,639,305.

On June 2, 2008, the Company announced that Marek Kreczmer, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Mr. William Thomas, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, would be resigning their positions with the Company effective July 31, 2008. On June 16, 2008, the Company announced that John Lynch, a director of the Company, had been appointed its President and Chief Executive Officer. Messrs. Kreczmer and Thomas were the Company’s only full-time employees and are responsible for the management of the Company.

There can be no assurance that a commercially mineable mineral deposit exists on any of the Company’s properties.

Description of Mining Industry

Our business is highly speculative. We are exploring for base and precious metals and other mineral resources. Ore is rock containing particles of a particular mineral (and possibly other minerals which can be recovered and sold), which rock can be legally extracted, and then processed to recover the minerals which can be sold at a profit. Although mineral exploration is a time consuming and

12





Table of Contents

expensive process with no assurance of success, the process is straight forward. First, we acquire the rights to enable us to explore for, and if warranted, extract and remove ore so that it can be refined and sold on the open market to dealers. Second, we explore for precious and base metals by examining the soil, rocks on the surface, and by drilling into the ground to retrieve underground rock samples, which can then be analyzed. This work is undertaken in staged programs, with each successive stage built upon the information gained in prior stages. If exploration programs discover what appears to be an area which may be able to be profitably mined, we will focus our activities on determining whether that is feasible, while at the same time continuing the exploratory activities to further delineate the location and size of this potential ore body. Things that will be analyzed by us in making a determination of whether we have a deposit which can be feasibly mined at a profit include:

1.  The amount of mineralization which has been established, and the likelihood of increasing the size of the mineralized deposit through additional drilling;
2.  The expected mining dilution;
3.  The expected recovery rates in processing;
4.  The cost of mining the deposit;
5.  The cost of processing the ore to separate the gold or uranium from the host rocks, including refining the precious or base metals;
6.  The costs to construct, maintain, and operate mining and processing activities;
7.  Other costs associated with operations including permit and reclamation costs upon cessation of operations;
8.  The costs of capital;
9.  The costs involved in acquiring and maintaining the property; and
10.  The price of the precious or base minerals. For example, the price of one ounce of gold for the years 2001-2007 ranged from a low of $271 U.S. in 2001, to a high of $841 U.S. in 2007. At June 30, 2008, the price of gold was $930.25 U.S. per ounce1. The price of one pound of uranium for the years 2001-2007 ranged from a low of $7.25 U.S. in 2001, to a high of $136.00 U.S. in 2007. At June 23, 2008, the spot price of uranium was $57.00 U.S. per pound.

Our analysis will rely upon the estimates and plans of geologists mining engineers, metallurgists and others.

If we determine that we have a feasible mining project, we will consider pursuing alternative courses of action, including:

  seeking to sell the deposit or the Company to third parties;
  entering into a joint venture with larger mining company to mine the deposit; or
  placing the property into production ourselves.

There can be no assurance, that we will discover any precious or base metals, establish the feasibility of mining a deposit, or, if warranted, develop a property to production and maintain production activities, either alone or as a joint venture participant. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we would be able to sell either the deposit or the Company on acceptable terms, or at all, enter into such a joint venture on acceptable terms, or be able to place a property into production ourselves. If we do enter actual mining operations, which is unlikely in the near future, our operations will be subject to various factors and risks generally affecting the mining industry, many of which are beyond our control. These include the price of precious or base metals declining, the possibility that a change in laws respecting the environment could make operations unfeasible, or our ability to conduct mining operations could be adversely affected by government regulation. Reference is made to ‘‘Item. 3. Key Information. D. Risk Factors.’’

Regulation of Mining Industry

Canada

Although each province of Canada has its own regulations for the mining industry, generally the following is true. Prior to commencing any exploration activities in Canada, and depending on the provincial jurisdiction, the Company or the party intending to carry out a work program on a mineral property may be required to apply to the appropriate local government agencies for a number of permits or licenses related to mineral exploration activities. These permits or licenses may include water and surface use permits, occupation permits, fire permits, and timber permits. Prior to being issued the various permits or licenses, the applicant may have to file a detailed work plan with the applicable government agency. Permits are issued on the basis of the work plan submitted and approved by the governing agency. Additional work on a given mineral property or a significant change in the nature of the work to be completed would require an amendment to the original permit or license.

As part of the permit or licensing requirements, in the event a company will be placing a production and operating a mine, the applicant may be required to post an environmental reclamation bond in respect of the work to be carried out on the mineral property. The amount of such bond is determined by the amount and nature of the work proposed by the applicant. The amount of a bond may also be increased with increased levels of development on the property.

The Company has or will make an application to the appropriate agencies for permits and licenses relating to those properties upon which the Company intends to carry out work during the 2008 exploration season. For those mineral properties in which the Company has an interest but is not the operator of the work programs, application for the required permits and licenses and the posting of the reclamation bonds will be made by the party entitled to carry out exploration work on the property. The Company believes that it is currently in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations in Canada.

Mexico

The exploration and exploitation of minerals in Mexico may be carried out by Mexican citizens or Mexican companies incorporated under Mexican law by means of obtaining exploration and exploitation concessions. Mining concessions are granted by the Mexican federal government for a period of 50 years from the date of their recording in the Public Registry of Mining and are renewable for another 50 years. Mining concessions are subject to annual work requirements and payment of surface taxes which are assessed and levied on a semiannual basis. Such concessions may be transferred or assigned by their holders, but such transfers or assignments must comply with the requirements established by the Mexican Mining Law and be registered before the Public Registry of Mining in order to be valid against third parties.

Mineral exploration and exploitation concessions may also be obtained by foreign citizens or foreign corporations, in this latter case, through the establishment of a branch or subsidiary in Mexico, and in the case of foreign citizens, provided that they comply with certain requirements set forth in the Foreign Investment Law. Foreign citizens are required to apply for the corresponding authorization before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and register their investment in the National Registry of Foreign Investment. In the case of a branch of foreign corporations, in addition to registration in the National Registry of Foreign Investment, additional authorization from the Ministry of Economy is required in order to obtain subsequent registration in the corresponding local Public Registry of Commerce.

Mexican mining law does not require payment of finder’s fees or royalties to the Government, except for a discovery premium in connection with national mineral reserves, concessions in marine zones and claims or allotments contracted directly from the Council of Mineral Resources. None of the property interests held by the Company are under such fee regime. However, holders of exploration and exploitation concessions are required to pay surface taxes which are assessed and levied on a semi-annual basis.

Republic of Niger

The Company in no longer directly involved in exploration activities in the Republic of Niger. However, it has a 30.5% interest in Niger Uranium Limited, a corporation with eight uranium prospects in the Republic of Niger.

There are four types of licenses available for companies and individuals interested in exploration and development of mineral resources. A Prospecting Authorization gives the holder the right to search for one or a number of minerals. It is non-exclusive and confers to the holder any rights to an exclusive exploration permit within the limits and time validity of the Authorization.

Prospecting Authorizations are valid for one year, renewable indefinitely for one year periods. Only surface prospecting is permitted, including remote sensing techniques. The objective of the prospecting program must be stated in the application, although there are no fee or land holding requirements.

An Exploration Permit is valid for three-years, renewable for two further three-year periods subject to certain land holding reduction criteria and field works. The area held under a permit cannot exceed 500 square kilometers in a rectangular block.

An Exploration Permit confers to the holder the right to dispose of any minerals obtained during exploration and test work, and also confers the right to a Mining Permit if a viable reserve is discovered. Applications must stipulate the minerals sought (additional minerals can be included later), and a time and expenditure schedule. A variable fee is tied to the permit, and holders are required to submit progress reports to the Government on their activities.

A Mining Permit will be granted in the case of successful exploration, subject to the right of the Government to participate in the project. A ‘small mine’ permit is valid for five years, renewable three times for five-year periods, while a ‘large mine’ permit lasts for 20 years initially, renewable two times per period of ten years. Further extensions are possible if commercial reserves remain.

Companies applying for Mining Permits must conform to Nigerien Company law. The Government requires an initial 10% share in the mining project, free of all costs, which can be later increased to a maximum of 30% through share purchases. Minimal annual fees are applicable and varies on the size of the property.

The fourth type of license is the Authorization for Small-Scale Mining, and it concerns artisanal level of production.

The Government of Niger has stated that it welcomes overseas private investment as a key to relaunching its national economy, and its mining code contains a number of incentives for potential investors. These include income tax holidays and many exemptions (customs duty exemption, exemption in some cases from value-added tax, the right to remit dividends freely) equal opportunities for overseas and national investors, and guaranteed freedom from nationalization or expropriation.

Mining companies are subject to a number of fees and taxes:

Annual area fees are related to the licenses except to the prospecting authorization.

Mining royalties are payable at a rate of 5.5% of the final selling price of the mineral commodity produced. Royalties are, however, deductible from income tax, which is levied at a rate of 35% after the deduction of operating and production costs. Small mines enjoy a two-year income tax holiday, while for large mines this period extends to five years from the start of commercial production. Dividends distributed to shareholders attract a 16% capital gains tax. Other charges include stamp duty, public notary fees, value added tax and social security contributions for employees.

Customs duties are not charged on equipment imported for use for direct mining operations, or temporarily for exploration programs. Mineral products may be exported free of duty.

Niger uses the CFA francs, which is tied to the Euro and is fully convertible (1 Euro = 656 Fcfa.) Foreign exchange regulations are very liberal, although with the requirement that overseas transactions must be authorized by the Ministry of Finance and made through a registered bank.

The Company has one subsidiary, Northwest Mineral Mexico S.A. de C.V.

D.    Property, Plants and Equipment.

A.    Picachos Project, Durango State, Mexico

The Company has an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in a silver-gold prospect located in Mexico’s Durango Province (the ‘‘Picachos Project’’). The Company acquired its original interest in the property in July 2004 when it entered into an option agreement with RNC Gold Inc. (‘‘RNC’’) to acquire a 50% interest in two silver-gold properties in Mexico’s Durango and Sinaloa provinces (the ‘‘Picachos Project’’). Subsequently, in October 2005, the Company amended its option agreement to give it the right to acquire the remaining 50% interest in the Picachos Project. The Picachos property portfolio originally included the 7,778-hectare (19,000-acre) silver-gold Picachos property area in Durango State and the 17,800-hectare (43,900-acre) Tango gold claims in Sinaloa State. In 2005 the Company decided to focus its exploration on the 7,778 hectare silver-gold Picachos Property. Accordingly, on November 17, 2005 the Company dropped its interest in the Tango gold claims in Sinaloa State.

Under the terms of its original option with RNC, in order to earn its initial 50% interest, the Company was required to incur exploration expenditures of $1,500,000 by December 31, 2006 and generate a feasibility study for the production of a minimum of 25,000 ounces of gold per year by July 2007 (‘‘Feasibility Study’’). In October 2005, the Company amended its agreement with RNC to acquire an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Picachos Project. Under the terms of its original agreement with RNC, after the Company earned a 50% interest in the project, it would be granted the right to acquire RNC’s remaining 50% stake in the Picachos Project. The purchase price for acquiring the remaining 50% interest was $20,000,000, payable as follows:

1.  $3,000,000 at the time the Feasibility Study is completed;
2.  $9,000,000 at the Commencement of Commercial Production; and
3.  $2,000,000 on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the Commencement of Commercial Production.

On February 28, 2006 Yamana Gold Inc. (‘‘Yamana’’) acquired RNC. Pursuant to an Option Agreement with Yamana, dated December 22, 2006, the Company’s option was reduced from the right to acquire a 100% interest in the Picachos Project to an option to acquire a 70% interest. In order to earn a 70% interest the Company is required by December 22, 2009 (i) to incur U.S.$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures, (ii) issue Yamana 1,000,000 of its Shares, and (iii) make payments of U.S.$400,000 to Yamana, as set forth below.

The Company is required to incur the following exploration expenditures of U.S.$3,000,000:

1.  U.S.$500,000 by December 31, 2007 (done);
2.  U.S.$1,000,000 by December 31, 2008; and
3.  U.S.$1,500,000 by December 31, 2009.

The Company is also required to issue the following shares to Yamana:

1.  400,000 Shares by January 21, 2007 (done);
2.  200,000 Shares by December 31, 2007 (done);
3.  200,000 Shares by December 31, 2008; and
4.  200,000 Shares by December 31, 2009.

Finally, the Company is required to make the following payments to Yamana:

1.  U.S.$100,000 by December 22, 2006 (done);
2.  U.S.$100,000 by December 22, 2007 (done);
3.  U.S.$100,000 by December 22, 2008; and
4.  U.S.$100,000 by December 22, 2009.

After the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations and earned a 70% interest in the Picachos Project, the Company and Yamana will incorporate a company under the laws of Mexico to carry out, if warranted, the construction, development, and operation of one or more mines on the property. Initially, the Company will own 70% of this company, and Yamana will own the remaining 30%.

Kabir Ahmed, formerly the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, was a director of RNC at the time the original option agreement was entered into in 2004, but he resigned his position as a director of RNC during 2005, prior to the October 2005 amendment to the option agreement.

The properties comprising the Picachos Project do not contain a known commercially mineable mineral deposit and the Company’s proposed exploration programs are exploratory in nature.

Property Description, Location and Access

There is no known commercially mineable mineral deposit on any of the properties comprising the Picachos Project.

The Picachos Property, in the southwestern part of the state of Durango, is centered about 100 kilometers west-southwest of Durango City, and occurs north-northwest of the Durango-Mazatlán highway, about eight kilometers from Puerto Espinazo del Diablo. The property consists of four concessions overlapping a contiguous surface area of 7,778 hectares. The concessions are owned by Minera Tango S.A. de CV. (‘‘Tango’’), a subsidiary of Seafield Resources Ltd (SFF). Seafield purchased Minera Tango from Yamana Gold Inc. during 2006. Prior to Tango acquiring the licenses, Camargo acquired the licenses based on the presence of a large number of old native silver-gold mine workings and a favorable geological setting. Most of the mine workings were enlarged as a result of the interest of the early Spanish settlers.

The Los Cochis prospect portion of the property is located just below the village of La Mesa de Los Negros, about 5 kilometers from the main regional highway between Durango and Mazatlan, the capital of neighboring Sinaloa State. It is on the south central part of the ‘‘Camargo’’ concession, part of a larger land package in the southeastern quadrant of a caldera complex in the Western Sierra Madre. Access to the property is via the Durango-Mazatlan highway, and a network of country roads that links the villages of La Mesa, Huizar, La Ventana, Picachos, El Durazno, Neveros and Los Desmontes. A 230 KV electrical transmission line runs parallel to Highway 40, and a branch line to La Mesa de Los Negros. Rural satellite phones are installed in all of the villages. Water is readily available from mountain streams that are re-charged in the summer rainy season between July and October.

Temperatures are subject to seasonal variations, which are largely dependent on elevation. Above 2,000 meters, the climate is drier and temperatures range from over 30°C in summer to below freezing

at night in the winter with some snowfall. Below 2,000 meters, the climate gradually becomes more hot and humid, with temperatures ranging from 10°C in winter to 38°C in summer. Irrespective of season, nightfall can bring substantial drops in temperature. The rainy season is from July to October.

There is a ready supply of labor in the immediate area of the prospects. People living in the Picachos area are mainly farmers, cattle ranchers, and fruit growers. A 230 KV electrical transmission line runs parallel to Highway 40. Neveros is connected to the power grid via a branch line. The village of La Mesa de Los Negros has grid electricity and a telephone.

The Picachos Property covers small past silver and gold producers and several significant silver/gold showings that remain to be fully explored. Camargo and Tango have carried out a significant amount of ground work, including geochemical sampling and two drill holes.

Based on its comparisons with other mines and mineral deposits in the Sierra Madre, including the Tayoltita Mine located a short distance to the north, the WGM Report concluded that the Picachos area has the potential to host an economically significant silver-gold deposit. In addition, the silver-gold values found on the property demonstrate a potential for bulk tonnage scale mineralization. However, there is no known commercially mineable mineral deposit on any of the properties comprising the Picachos Project and the Company’s proposed exploration programs are exploratory in nature.

Previous Exploration on Picachos Property

Picachos was one of the larger historic mining towns within the property and is located about eight kilometers north of La Mesa de Los Negros. The Spanish reportedly built a smelter facility on the north bank of the arroyo Picachos, just below one of the trails to the village of La Ventana. Smelter feed was mainly from several stopes located in the El Toro target area, and perhaps from the mines on the south flank of Copo El Pino (Pine Peak). Slag has also been found at a historic smelter site west of the Las Chivas adit (Los Cochis area).

In 1997, Canamera Geological of Vancouver staked the 50,000 Ha Flora concession. Between April 20, 1998 and June 5, 1998, over 200 rock samples were taken from the Flora claim. Of these, 151 occur within a caldera structure north of the Espinazo del Diablo on the northwest corner of the Flora Property. In the summer of 1998, a reconnaissance-style soil geochemistry grid was completed over Los Cochis, one of the most promising polymetallic epithermal precious metal deposits in the caldera. A total of 116 rock samples and 489 soil samples were collected. The program finished in November of 1998, but the assay results were never released from the lab due to non-payment of assay bills incurred by Canamera on its Canadian projects.

In June of 1999 Minera Camargo was incorporated, and negotiations were opened with Eastern Meridian Mining Corporation to start a joint venture in the Picachos area, a few kilometers north of the Los Cochis prospects. During the negotiating period, the Picachos claim was staked. An option agreement was signed with Eastern Meridian 31 July 1999.

Between October 1, 1999 and February 25, 2000, detailed mapping and sampling was done on the larger stopes and tunnels, including El Toro, Los Angeles and El Pino. Overall, 135 chip-channel samples were cut and sent to Bondar Clegg for analysis. All were fire-assayed for gold and silver, and those with base metal mineralization were also assayed for Copper, Pb and Zinc. Some of the best overall results were from El Pino. Although El Pino had clear potential to host a significant deposit, Eastern Meridian was unable to re-finance due to weak precious metal prices. Their option agreement with Camargo defaulted on January 31, 2002. In late 2001, the Flora Property was cancelled by the Mexican Government.

In March of 2002, Southern Africa Minerals and Minera Camargo started negotiating a deal for a joint venture on the Picachos property, and the Camargo claim was staked as an addition to the joint venture area. The Camargo Property hosts the Los Cochis and Guadalupe deposits (the Flora title was cancelled in October of 2001 due to non-payment of mining duties). Southern Africa Minerals changed its name to Tango Mineral Resources to reflect the new Latin American focus for the Company.

In the summer of 2002, a limited soil sampling program was completed over the central part of the El Pino deposit area, and additional prospecting was done along strike of the known vein. In the fall, a permanent camp and road to the El Pino deposit was constructed, and two diamond core holes were drilled to depths of 216 meters and 171 meters in early 2003. Although both holes intercepted the vein, the drilling program was aborted pre-maturely due to mechanical problems with the drill. In late 2002, a deal was negotiated with Chemex Laboratories to release the Los Cochis assays, and those results were compiled in the first half of 2003. Geochemical results from El Pino and Los Cochis were clearly starting to define the extents of several epithermal Districts on the Picachos Property. Unfortunately, the lack of performance by the drillers did not deliver results, and Tango Mineral Resources was taken over by RNC Gold in late 2003.

In early 2004, RNC Gold optioned the property to the Company, as described earlier.

Summary of Exploration Work Completed by the Company

The Company’s first phase exploration program was completed during the third quarter of 2005, at a cost of $620,980, and consisted of additional land acquisition, the acquisition and study of remote sensing imagery, hand trenching, soil geochemical surveying and sampling at three of the most prospective targets for gold (El Toro, Los Cochis and Guadalupe targets).

Summary of First Phase 2005 Exploration Program

The results of the first phase exploration program were generally positive. Results are available for 10,096 soil samples from Los Cochis, El Toro and Guadalupe. The highest gold values to date were returned from the El Toro samples, which defined a strong polymetallic geochemical anomaly. Several of these samples contained in excess of 500 ppb gold, and values of 2,424 ppb gold occurred in soils near the previous mine workings. This discovery at El Toro is in addition to the large Los Cochis anomaly, which returned the highest silver values to date and was considered by the Company to be a compelling drill target.

Summary of Second Phase 2005-2006 Exploration Program

The Company planned a second phase exploration program, costing $1.0 million, which was expected to be completed by December 30, 2006. The second phase exploration program was designed to further develop the Los Cochis, El Toro and Guadalupe targets; airborne survey of the Picachos properties; and underground development of the El Pino target. However, during 2006 Yamana acquired RNC and the Company renegotiated the terms of its option. Accordingly, it did not complete the second phase exploration program.

In November of 2006 the Company hired SJ Geophysics of Vancouver to complete a 50 line kilometer 3-D induced polarization and resistivity survey over the Los Cochis and Guadalupe targets. Forty five line kilometers of ground magnetics over Los Cochis were also completed. SJ Geophysics’ report and interpretations were delivered to the Company in March of 2007. Some of the resistivity highs are correlated with silicified zones at Navarrete and the Campamento (Las Chivas) zone at Los Cochis. The strongest IP responses are probably defining quartz-pyrite ‘‘lithocaps’’, or zones where cooling steam condensed and precipitated silica and iron sulfide. Moderate IP responses appear to reflect mineralization, some of which may have a ‘‘manto’’ or bedding parallel geometry.

2007 Exploration Program

In the fall of 2007, 3,125.25 meters of drilling in 21 reverse circulation holes were completed, mainly in the strong soil geochemical anomaly defined in 2005, and in one of the chargeability anomalies.

The drilling program was designed to test a steeply dipping epithermal vein model for Los Cochis. The analytical results and new geological model imply that the principal control on the mineralization might be stratigraphic. Management believes the results of the drill program were encouraging and that further work is recommended.

The total cost of the 2007 exploration program was approximately $586,000.

2008 Exploration Program

A second stage of reverse circulation drilling is recommended to better understand the geometry of the Los Cochis deposit. The objective of this stage of work would be to identify a body of about 600 meters strike length, 80 meters width and 200 meters in the down-dip direction. Exploration and definition drilling of the high grade, gold bearing structures at El Pino is also recommended. Finally, development of El Toro and Guadalupe for a 2009 exploration drilling program is planned for the winter of 2008. Permitting activities for the planned work are in progress.

Management of Picachos Project

Michelle Robinson, MASc, P.Eng., a professional engineer, is the person responsible for overseeing and carrying out the Company’s exploration programs on the Picachos Project in Mexico.

B.    Interest in Niger Uranium Limited

On March 8, 2006 the Company completed the acquisition of two uranium concessions in Niger, Africa. These concessions, the In Gall Concession and the Irhazer Concession, originally covered a total 4,000 square kilometers. The concessions were selected for their favorable geology, exploration potential and strategic location – situated in the same stratigraphy as two operating uranium mines which together yield almost 10% of worldwide production, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, a division of the United Nations. The Company’s objective in applying for the uranium concessions in the Republic of Niger was to minimize its exploration risk by attempting to diversify the Company’s property portfolio.

The Company was required to file a formal concession application with the Ministry of Mines & Energy, Niger. The work commitments have been negotiated with the Director of Mines and the application was thereafter referred to the Minister of Mines & Energy for review. After its approval by the Minister of Mines & Energy the application was then forwarded to the Ministers Council for formal approval.

The concessions were granted to the Company for a period of thirty years. Under the terms of the concessions, the Company was required to spend a total of $4.4 million U.S. on exploration of the concessions over the next three years, as set forth below:


YEAR AMOUNT FOR EACH
PROPERTY
TOTAL FOR YEAR
Year 1 U.S.$   200,000 U.S.$   400,000
Year 2 U.S.$   600,000 U.S.$1,200,000
Year 3 U.S.$1,400,000 U.S.$2,800,000

The Company’s concessions provided it with the right to dispose of any minerals obtained during exploration and test work, and also conferred on the Company the right to a mining permit, if a viable reserve is discovered.

The Government of Niger is automatically granted an initial ten (10%) percent non-participating interest in the project. In addition, the Government of Niger can subscribe to a additional maximum twenty (20%) percent interest of the operating company to be formed to develop the properties. In the event the Government of Niger does not subscribe for its 20% interest at the time of incorporation, it will lose its right to subscribe for such interest.

A Mining Convention signed on March 8, 2006 by the Company and the Government of Niger guarantees for thirty years the stability of administrative, judicial, fiscal, customs, financial, economic and social conditions during the duration of the Convention , covering both exploration and exploitation activities.

In July 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with UraMin Inc. (‘‘UraMin’’) to explore for and develop, if warranted, eight uranium properties in Niger. Pursuant to the agreement a new corporation was formed named Niger Uranium Limited (‘‘Niger Uranium’’). Niger Uranium is incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

Table of Contents

Under the terms of the agreement with UraMin the Company contributed to Niger Uranium its two uranium prospects, the Irhazer and In Gall concessions, while UraMin contributed six properties. The Company received (i) a 50% equity interest in Niger Uranium, (ii) a cash payment of $4,800,000 from UraMin, and (iii) a 3% net smelter royalty on the production of uranium and any other ores and/or minerals produced from the Company’s Irhazer and In Gall concessions. In addition to contributing six potential uranium properties to Niger Uranium, UraMin contributed U.S.$15,000,000 to Niger Uranium to receive a 50% interest. The $4,800,000 was used by the Company to cover Canadian taxes payable upon transferring its two properties to Niger Uranium. UraMin retained a 3% net smelter royalty on the production of uranium and any other ores and /or minerals produced from the six properties it contributed to Niger Uranium.

These six adjacent concessions contributed by UraMin are situated along the Arlit fault and are within a range of 45 to 135 kilometers north of the Areva uranium mine, currently in production. The Arlit fault is believe to be the main geological structure where the two Areva mines are located.

In total, Niger Uranium’s eight properties cover a total of 1,673,644 acres (6,773 square kilometers).

The Company and UraMin have the right of first refusal on properties outside of Niger identified by Niger Uranium.

None of the properties to be owned by Niger Uranium have a known commercially minable mineral deposit.

Niger Uranium has the right to reduce the net smelter royalty due to the Company as follows:

1.  to 2% of net smelter returns upon payment to the Company of $3,000,000 U.S.;
2.  to 1% of net smelter returns upon payment to the Company of an additional $5,000,000 U.S.

In August 22, 2007 Mr. Marek Kreczmer, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer at the time, was appointed Niger Uranium’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer and to its Board of Directors. On January 5, 2008 Mr. Kreczmer resigned as Niger Uranium’s Chief Executive Officer, and on June 6, 2008 he resigned from the board of directors. Mr. Ian Stalker, who had been UraMin’s CEO, was appointed its Executive Deputy Chairman. Mr. Neil Herbert, UraMin’s Finance Director, was appointed to Niger Uranium’s board of directors. Mr. Wayne Beach, a former director of the Company, and Mr. John Lynch, a director of the Company at the time and recently appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company, were appointed non-executive directors of Niger Uranium. In addition, Mr. James Mellon, was appointed director and non-executive Chairman of Niger Uranium.

Mr. Marek Kreczmer signed a Service Agreement with Niger Uranium on August 22, 2007 pursuant to which he agreed to serve as Niger Uranium’s Chief Executive Officer for a salary of £1,000 per month. Under the Service Agreement Mr. Kreczmer was required to work no more than two days per month per quarter. In addition, Mr. Kreczmer was granted, in his capacity as a director of Niger Uranium, an option to acquire up to 1,037,400 shares of Niger Uranium, at a price of £0.50 per share. On January 5, 2008 Mr. Kreczmer resigned his position as Niger Uranium’s Chief Executive Officer and from the board of directors on June 6, 2008. In addition to the stock options granted by Niger Uranium to Mr. Kreczmer, John Lynch and Wayne Beach were each granted options to purchase 100,000 shares of Niger Uranium, at an exercise price of £0.50 per share.

On August 1, 2007 the Company announced that Niger Uranium had completed a private placement raising gross proceeds of $19,000,000 U.S. Niger Uranium issued 19,090,000 shares at a price of 50 pence per share, and paid cash commissions to its agent, Haywood Securities (UK) Ltd., as well as issuing 1,145,400 broker warrants, entitling the holders to purchase Niger Uranium’s shares, for two years, at a price of 50 pence per share. On September 12, 2007 Niger Uranium’s shares commenced trading on the AIM market in London, England.

At the conclusion of the private offering of its shares, Niger Uranium had 83,000,000 shares outstanding, with the Company owning 31,955,000 shares (38.5%). In March 2008, Niger Uranium issued 17,000,000 of its shares in connection with the acquisition of a 17.5% interest in Kalahari Minerals PLC (‘‘Kalahari’’), an AIM listed corporation with assets in Namibia, diluting the Company’s ownership of Niger Uranium to approximately 32% of Niger Uranium’s 100,000,000 outstanding shares.

In April 2008 Niger Uranium purchased 4,421,000 ordinary shares of UrAmerica, a private company with uranium exploration projects in Argentina, Paraguay and Colombia. This purchase represented 20.89% of total issued shares of UrAmerica. In connection with this purchase Niger Uranium paid UrAmerica $2,500,000 U.S. and issued it 4,664,306 of its shares. Niger Uranium also received warrants to purchase 4,421,000 ordinary shares of UrAmerica at an exercise price of $1.639 per ordinary share. Following this transaction the Company owned 30.5% of Niger Uranium’s 104,664,306 outstanding shares.

Information on Niger Uranium’s Properties

Marek Kreczmer, formerly the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, had been Niger Uranium’s Chief Executive Officer from August 2007 to his resignation in January 2008. In addition, Mr. Kreczmer resigned from Niger Uranium’s board of directors in June 2008. Accordingly, at the present time, the Company does not have current information on Niger Uranium’s planned exploration activities, previous exploration activities, geology, results of recent exploration activities, and related information for Niger Uranium’s Niger properties. The Company does have information through July 2007 on the Irhazer and In Gall Concessions it contributed to Niger Uranium.

Exploration Conducted by Company on Irhazer and In Gall Concessions

The Company completed a high-resolution, multi-sensor airborne geophysical survey over the properties where several targets were identified. This was followed by ground geophysics and mapping of the uranium anomalies. The ground geophysics identified four radioactive structures which were drill tested in the 2007.

Results on surface samples announced in March 2007 ranged from 0.032% to 0.09% U3O8. Also, five outcrop samples returned values from 0.22% to 1.0% U3O8.

From March 2006 through March 2007, the Company invested over Can. $1.3 million on exploration of its Niger properties.

On May 14, 2008 Niger Uranium issued a press release in which it announced that based upon drilling it had conducted on the In Gall concession there was a 20% increase in the in-situ grade of the uranium found and that it anticipated that an estimate of the uranium resources on a 5,000 by 900 meter section of the property would be completed in June 2008.

To the best of the knowledge of Company’s management, there is no known commercially mineable mineral deposit on any of Niger Uranium’s Niger properties.

C.    North Rae Uranium Project, Northern Quebec, Canada

On January 9, 2007, the Company entered into an Option Agreement, formalizing the March 2, 2006 Letter of Intent, to acquire up to a 65% interest in a uranium project in the Ungava Bay region of northern Quebec, Canada, from Azimut Exploration Inc. (‘‘Azimut’’). The North Rae Uranium Project consists of four blocks representing 1,853 claims with a total area of 204,108 acres. 

On July 5, 2008 the Company entered into an agreement with Azimut to terminate (‘‘Termination Agreement’’) its (i) option on the North Rae Uranium Project and (ii) its option to acquire a 65% interest in the Daniel Lake Property, Northern Quebec, Canada, described in ‘‘Item 4. Property, Plants and Equiment. Daniel Lake Uranium Project, Northern Quebec, Canada.’’ The termination of the two option agreements is conditional upon Azimut (i) paying the Company $4,000,000 by October 3, 2008 and (ii) issuing the Company 1,100,000 of Azimut’s common shares. The Azimut shares to be issued to the Company would be subject to a one year hold.

23





Table of Contents

Until such time as all the conditions of the Termination Agreement are either satisfied, or the agreement is terminated because the conditions have not been satisfied, the rights and obligations of the Company and Azimut regarding the North Rae Uranium Project and Daniel Lake Property are suspended. Upon Azimut making the $4,000,000 payment, the Company will no longer have any interest in the properties, will vacate the properties, and will no longer be liable to Azimut for debt, damages, or otherwise.

In the event Azimut is unable to satisfy these conditions the Termination Agreement will no longer be in effect and the Company’s options on the North Rae and Daniel Lake properties will be deemed to be valid and enforceable.

Company’s Obligations Under Option Agreement with Azimut if Option is not Terminated.

In order to acquire its initial 50% interest in the North Rae Uranium Project, the Company is required to (i) make cash payments totaling $210,000 over five years, (ii) issue Azimut a total of 150,000 Shares, and (iii) incur a total of $2,900,000 in exploration expenditures over five years, as set forth below.

Under the terms of the Letter of Intent the Company is required to make the following cash payments, totaling $210,000, to Azimut:

Cash Payments to Azimut


$50,000 On execution of Letter of Intent (March 2, 2006)

If and when the Company has made the cash payments totalling $210,000, issued Azimut a total of 150,000 Shares, and incurred the minimum work expenditures totalling $2,900,000, the Company will have the right to acquire a 50% undivided interest in the North Rae Uranium Project, and a joint venture between the Company and Azimut will be deemed to be have been established. The initial, actual and deemed expenditures of each party to the joint venture shall be $2,900,000. Upon the Company acquiring a 50% interest in the North Rae Uranium Project, Azimut will retain a 2% yellow cake royalty (‘‘YCR’’).

To increase its interest to 65% the Company will be required to (i) issue Azimut an additional 100,000 Shares, (ii) pay Azimut $20,000 per year for five years, (iii) incur annual minimum exploration expenditures of $200,000, for a five year period ($1,000,000 in total), and (iv) during this five year period provide Azimut with a Bankable Feasibility Study. If the Company decides not to increase its interest to 65%, it will be required to make a $100,000 payment to Azimut, within two months of its acquiring its 50% interest.

24





Table of Contents

The requirement to provide Azimut with a Bankable Feasibility Study may be extended for three subsequent, annual and consecutive periods of one year each by paying Azimut $50,000 per year.

Up to the date of the Termination Agreement, the Company has been the operator of the project.

Azimut Notice of Default and Successful Curative Action by NWT

On December 18, 2007, Azimut delivered a Notice of Default to the Company alleging that the Company had not complied with various provisions of the North Rae and Daniel Lake property option agreements (collectively, the ‘‘Agreements’’). A description of the Company’s obligations regarding its option on the Daniel Lake option agreement is set forth below in subsection E.

The Notice of Default detailed the Company’s alleged failure to fulfill certain of its core obligations as operator, including its failure to allow Azimut timely access to factual technical data, maps and reports, including a series of databases relating to exploration programs carried out on the properties, and its failure to deliver to Azimut ten (10) overdue quarterly reports pertaining to its operations on the projects. In the Notice of Default, Azimut also expressed serious concerns regarding specific aspects of the Company’s management of the operations and the alleged persistent failure of the Company to disclose material facts to Azimut in order to substantiate public releases of technical information.

In accordance with the provisions of the Agreements, the Company had sixty (60) days from the Notice of Default to fully remedy its default on each of the Agreements. In the event the default was not cured, the option agreement would terminate and the Company would forfeit all of its interest in the property, as well as any funds expended on the property.

On February 1, 2008, the Company responded to Azimut’s default notice and advised Azimut that all the alleged defaults were without merit or had been resolved in any event by issuance of the curative notice, and that the Option Agreements were in good standing.

In a press release on February 12, 2008, Azimut announced that it considered that the Company had cured its default in respect of the North Rae and Daniel Lake properties after examining the extensive documentation and data submitted by the Company with its curative notice, and that the options were in good standing.

Exploration Program to Date

In 2006, ground investigation around the lake sediment uranium geochemical anomalies lead to the discovery of several uranium showings. An airborne geophysical survey was conducted but results were not available for ground investigation in 2006.

From June to September 2007 the Company completed a ground exploration program of the radiometric anomalies. The exploration operation was conducted as a full ‘‘turn key’’ program by IOS Services Géoscientifiques, located in Chicoutimi Québec. The final exploration report is still pending.

To date, a total of nine mineralized zones have been identified: Tasialuk, Tasik, Torrent, Ilaluga, Jonas, Amitujaq, Aqpiq, zone 46, and Lac Daniel North. A total of 787 surface rock sample were collected and assayed during the summer, with 128 samples collected by the local prospectors and 95 samples coming from the light blasting program. A total of five ground grids were used to produce radiometric surveys and geological mapping. The zones covered were Tasialuk, Tasik, Torrent, Jonas and Aqpiq. The total length of lines is about 60 kilometers. The readings were made each two meters on lines spaced at 100, 50 and 25 meters.

In addition, three grids (Tasialuk, Tasik and Torrent) were geologically mapped in detail. Light blasting using the boulder buster technique were performed on some of the spots. A total of about 40 blasts were done, with 97 samples collected with an average of depth of 0.3-0.5 meters.

Management believes that the radioactive zones identified by the radiometric ground survey were in some cases due to thorium content. A handheld spectrometer was used to collect around 150 spectrometric readings on outcrops.

Uranium mineralization is founded in metric wide pegmatite dykes, mostly sub parallel to NW-SE local foliation and associated with local biotite enrichment within these pegmatites. Management believes these dykes have mining potential when they developed themselves as swarms of dykes as in Tasialuk and Tasik zones.

The Company completed an additional airborne geophysics performed covering 170 square kilometers in the western portion of the property with a magnetometric and radiometric survey.

The Company completed eight diamond drill holes covering 1,843 feet (562 meters). A total of 446 samples, representing 750 feet (229 meters) of core, were collected and submitted for analysis. The mineralization intercepted during drilling is related to pegmatite dykes.

Seven diamond drill holes (515.5 meters) tested the Tasialuk, and Tasik zones. Drill holes were completed to test radiometric peaks which in some cases, indicated uranophane mineralization at surface. The results show that the radioactivity is due to uranium and thorium mineralization within pegmatite. A diamond drill hole of 44.7 meters tested a mineralized structure on Jonas but failed to intersect any economic mineralization. Management believes that the results to date from exploration have been mixed and that a significant amount of work will be required to evaluate the potential of the property.

2008 exploration program

Because of the Termination Agreement between the Company and Azimut which would terminate the Company’s option, the Company is not planning any exploration on the property at the present time.

Location and Access

The North Rae Project is located in the Ungava Bay region of northern Quebec. The North Rae property is located six to 12 miles from tide-water and approximately 99 miles (160 kilometers) east of the town of Kuujjuaq. Access to the property is by fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter from Kuujjuaq, which has daily scheduled air service from Montreal.

Climate

The climate is arctic with an average annual temperature between 23°F and 18.5°F (−5°C and −7.5°C). The Ungava Bay area receives about 15 inches to 19 inches (400 millimeters to 500 millimeters) of precipitation annually, with about 45% of this total falling as snow. Each year, there are between 20 and 40 frost-free days. Exploration generally occurs in the summer months.

History of Exploration

The blocks were staked by Azimut Exploration Inc., the Company’s partner on the North Rae property, based on its review of provincial geochemical lake sediment data released during the 1980s, and 1990s, and as recently as 2000 when the most relevant data set was made public by the provincial geological survey. Management of the Company is not aware of any meaningful exploration that has been conducted on the property.

Geology

The claims are situated in a structural area, called George River which is delimited on the N-E side by the Abloviak shear zone and by the Kujjuaq segment on the S-W side. The George River segment is comprised of two distinct litological domains, which are respectively constituted by:

  a first assemblage of tonalitic to granitic archean orthogneisses.
  a second assemblage of metasedimentary rocks, constituted by a palaeoproterozoic platform sequence, and related to Lake Harbour group.

26





Table of Contents

The Lake Harbour group overlies the archean to palaeoproterozoic orthogneisses. Lake Harbour is a metasedimentary cover, and orthogneisses of Baudan and Kanjiqsualujjuaq complex are considered as basement rocks, with a classical relation basement-sedimentary cover. All these rocks are strained and metamorphized in the middle to upper amphibolite facies.

Uranium mineralization is founded in metric wide pegmatite dykes, mostly sub paralleles to NW-SE local foliation and associated with biotite enrichment layers within these pegmatites. Most of the mineralized pegmatite are located in the orthogneiss close to the contact with the overlying paragneisses.

D.    Daniel Lake Uranium Project, Northern Quebec, Canada

Pursuant to an option agreement dated January 24, 2007 with Azimut Exploration Inc. the Company acquired an option to obtain up to a 65% interest in a prospective uranium property called the Daniel Lake Property (‘‘Daniel Lake Agreement’’). The Daniel Lake Property is contiguous to the North Rae Uranium Project, consisting of 972 claims covering 108,725 acres.

Pursuant to the Termination Agreement with Azimut discussed earlier, the Company’s options on the North Rae Uranium Project and the Daniel Lake Property will terminate provided Azimut satisfies its obligations to (i) pay the Company $4,000,000 by October 3, 2008 and (ii) issue the Company 1,100,000 of Azimut’s common shares. The Company’s obligations under the two option agreements are suspended until Azimut either fulfills the conditions of the termination agreement, or Azimut fails to meet the conditions of the Termination Agreement.

Company’s Obligations Under Option Agreement with Azimut if Option is not Terminated.

Under the terms of the Daniel Lake Agreement the Company can acquire an initial 50% interest, except for a Yellow Cake royalty described below, by (i) paying Azimut a total of $230,000, (ii) issuing Azimut 200,000 shares of its common stock, and (iii) incurring a minimum of $2,600,000 in exploration expenditures over the five years ending January 24, 2012.

Under the terms of the Daniel Lake Agreement the Company is required to make the following cash payments, totaling $230,000, to Azimut:

 Cash Payments to Azimut 


$50,000 By February 8, 2007 (paid)
$30,000 January 24, 2008 (paid)
$40,000 January 24, 2009
$50,000 January 24, 2010
$60,000 January 24, 2011

Upon receipt of confirmation of acceptance of the filing of the Letter of Intent by the TSX Venture Exchange (‘‘Acceptance Date’’), the Company is required to issue Azimut 100,000 Shares. On the first anniversary of the Acceptance Date, the Company will be required to issue an additional 100,000 Shares to Azimut.

In addition to the cash payments and shares issuances described above, the Company is required to incur the following exploration expenditures on the North Daniel Lake Uranium Project, totaling $2,600,000.

$600,000 On or before January 24, 2011
$800,000 On or before January 24, 2012

If and when the Company has made the cash payments totalling $230,000, issued Azimut a total of 200,000 Shares, and incurred the minimum work expenditures totalling $2,600,000, the Company will have the right to acquire a 50% undivided interest in the Daniel Lake Property, and a joint venture between the Company and Azimut will be deemed to be have been established. The initial, actual and deemed expenditures of each party to the joint venture shall be $2,600,000. Upon the Company acquiring a 50% interest in the North Rae Uranium Project, Azimut will retain a 2% yellow cake royalty (‘‘YCR’’).

To increase its interest to 65% the Company will be required to (i) issue Azimut an additional 100,000 Shares, (ii) pay Azimut $30,000 per year for five years, (iii) incur annual minimum exploration expenditures of $200,000, for a five year period ($1,000,000 in total), and (iv) during this five year period provide Azimut with a Bankable Feasibility Study. If the Company decides not to increase its interest to 65%, it will be required to make a $100,000 payment to Azimut, within two months of its acquiring its 50% interest.

The requirement to provide Azimut with a Bankable Feasibility Study may be extended for three subsequent, annual and consecutive periods of one year each by paying Azimut $100,000 per year.

The Company has been the operator of the project.

2007 Exploration

As operator, the Company commenced exploration activities on Daniel Lake in June 2007 including airborne magnetometric and radiometric survey covering 438 square kilometers and reconnaissance prospecting.

A total of 15 rock grab samples were collected from two main 1,640-foot (500-meter) long anomalous areas that were identified using preliminary data from a 2007 airborne survey. Of the 15 samples, five returned values above 0.02% U(3)O(8) with a maximum value of 0.65% U(3)O(8). The anomalous pegmatite dykes have been followed over a length of 800 meters. Final results from the airborne survey confirm that the Daniel Lake Uranium Project has similar geophysical characteristics and uranium potential as the adjoining North Rae property.

The final report for the 2007 exploration program is still pending.

2008 Exploration Program

Because of the Termination Agreement between the Company and Azimut which would terminate the Company’s option, the Company is not planning any exploration on the property at the present time.

Location, Access, Climate, Geology, History of Exploration

The Daniel Lake Property is adjacent to the Company’s North Rae Property. Management believes that information about its location and access, climate, history of exploration, and geology is substantially similar to that of the North Rae Property. Accordingly, reference is made to the description of the location and access, climate, history of exploration, and geology of the North Rae Property.

Table of Contents

Saskatchewan, Canada (‘‘Waterbury Project’’). The Waterbury Project covered 12,417 hectares and included nine prospective uranium claims located in the Althabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada. On November 30, 2007 decided to drop the option and focus on its other properties, paying a termination fee of $252,358 and writing off $1,639,305.

Cancelled Transaction with Nu-Mex Uranium Corp.

On November 19, 2007 the Company entered into a letter agreement with Nu-Mex Uranium Corp. (‘‘Nu-Mex’’) regarding its proposed acquisition by Nu-Mex. The proposed transaction was subject to (i) Nu-Mex arranging a financing of up to $25,000,000, with a minimum financing of not less than $10,000,000, such financing to close concurrently with the closing of its acquisition of the Company, and (ii) the Company receiving a favourable fairness opinion on the terms of the acquisition. The proposed transaction was to be completed pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) under which Nu-Mex would acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares in exchange for its shares.

Pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement between the Company and Nu-Mex dated December 20, 2007, Nu-Mex agreed to acquire 100% of the Company’s outstanding shares through a court-approved plan of arrangement, in which each share of the Company was to be exchanged for 0.40 of a Nu-Mex common share. The proposed transaction was subject to Nu-Mex arranging a financing of at least $25,000,000 U.S., at a minimum price of $4.00 U.S. per share. Additionally, it was a requirement of the transaction that Nu-Mex’s common shares be listed on either the Toronto Stock Exchange or the TSX Venture Exchange.

On February 13, 2008 the Company and Nu-Mex announced that they were cancelling the proposed transaction because of market conditions. Thereafter, the Company and Nu-Mex signed a termination agreement and granted each other mutual releases pursuant to which each party released the other from all obligations and liabilities relating to the proposed transaction.

Item 5.    Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.

The following is a discussion of the results of operations of the Company for the period commencing on the date of incorporation of the Company (September 26, 2003) and ending March 31, 2008, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period ending December 31, 2007, and the unaudited interim financial statements for the Company for the period ending March 31, 2008, such periods, together with the accompanying notes, are included elsewhere in this Annual Report. All references herein are to Canadian dollars. Please see ‘‘Item 3. Key Information.’’ for exchange rate information for the Canadian dollar.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Reference is made to Note 13 of the audited consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the material differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles, and their effect on the Company’s financial statements. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed in ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Overview

The Company was incorporated September 26, 2003 to engage in the acquisition, exploration, and, if warranted, the development of properties containing precious and base metals and uranium. In particular, the Company’s activities since incorporation have focused on the financing of exploration of the following projects


Project Type Location Status
Picachos Copper, Gold Mexico Active
Irhazer and In Gall Concessions Uranium Niger Transferred to Niger Uranium
Waterbury Uranium Saskatchewan, Canada Dropped
North Rae Uranium Uranium Quebec, Canada Termination of option pending
Daniel Lake Uranium Quebec, Canada Termination of option pending
Bear Copper, Gold Northwest Territories, Canada Dropped
Fire Fly Uranium Utah, United States Dropped

On July 27, 2004 the Company completed a 2 for 1 stock split, pursuant to which each issued Share of the Company was subdivided into two Shares. On September 6, 2005 the Company completed a second 2 for 1 stock split, pursuant to which each issued Share of the Company was subdivided into two Shares. Per Share amounts in this Annual Report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock splits.

A.    Operating Results

The Company commenced operations during September 2003. From September 26, 2003 through March 31, 2008, Management has devoted most of its time and resources towards (i) organizing the Company, (ii) acquiring various property interests, (iii) evaluating properties for acquisition, and (iv) conducting initial exploration of some of its properties. During this time, no revenues from operations were realized.

Net income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $11,745,384 ($0.11 per share) compared to loss of $2,421,484 ($0.03 per share) in 2006, an increase of $14,166,868. The increase in net income is comprised of a gain of $19,260,008 offset by current and future income

Table of Contents

taxes of $3,665,534 relating mainly to the sale of the Niger properties to Niger Uranium Ltd., decreased operation expenses of $371,807, as well as the non-cash write-off of $1,639,305 of exploration properties and deferred exploration related to the Waterbury project in Saskatchewan.

The net loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $460,575 compared to a loss of $690,155 for the corresponding period in 2007. The increased loss was a result of higher legal fees incurred in connection with (i) the proposed Nu-Mex transaction, and (ii) responding to Azimut’s default notice on the North Rae and Daniel Lake properties, as well as higher consulting fees due to higher staff levels.

Although no revenues are shown, the Company received $690,155 in interest income during 2007. The interest received is being capitalized against the deferred exploration expenses according to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The table below shows the costs of exploration incurred by the Company on its exploration projects.

The Company has funded operations since its incorporation (September 26, 2003) through the net proceeds of various financings.

In November 2003 the Company issued 2,000,000 Special Warrants (pre-stock split) at a price of $0.10 per Special Warrant, resulting in gross proceeds of $200,000. Each Special Warrant entitled the holder thereof to acquire, without additional payment and subject to adjustment pursuant to the Special Warrant Certificates, one share of common stock (‘‘Share’’). A Prospectus dated January 9, 2004 qualified the distribution of 2,000,000 Shares (pre-stock split) issued by the Company, without additional payment, upon the exercise of the 2,000,000 Special Warrants (pre-stock split).

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company raised total gross proceeds of approximately $2.6 million through various equity financings. On February 26, 2004, the Company raised financing from an initial public offering of $1,500,000 through the issuance of 15 million common shares (30 million Shares post 2 for 1 stock split).

On July 23, 2004 the Company completed a stock split whereby each Share of the Company was subdivided into two Shares of the Company.

During 2004, the Company issued 206,000 flow-through common shares for gross proceeds of $125,660 (net proceeds of $114,891).

On October 15, 2004, the Company completed a private placement financing of 450,000 units at a price of $0.70 per unit for gross proceeds of $315,000 (net proceeds of $292,950). Each unit consisted of one Share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.95 until April 15, 2006.

35





Table of Contents

On December 3, 2004, the Company completed a private placement financing of 1,004,500 units at a price of $0.65 per unit for gross proceeds of $652,925 (net proceeds of $587,633). Each unit consisted of one Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant was exercisable at a price of $0.95 until June 4, 2006.

On January 27, 2005, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 666,667 units at a price of $0.75 per unit for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consisted of one Share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.93 until July 27, 2006. In September 2005 the Company had a two-for-one stock split.

In October 2005, 455,000 share purchase warrants, at an exercise price of $0.475, were exercised, resulting in proceeds of $216,125. On December 21, 2005, the Company completed a private placement of 1,707,665 flow-through shares at a price of $0.60 per Share receiving gross proceeds of $1,024,599, and 909,091 units at a price of $0.55 per unit, receiving gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consists of one Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.70 per Share until December 21, 2006. The Company paid a broker a commission of $106,700 and issued broker warrants entitling it to acquire 63,636 units at an exercise price of $0.55 per unit until December 21, 2006.

On May 5, 2006 the Company completed a private placement financing of 21,144,027 units of for gross proceeds of $17,972,423 (net proceeds of $16,538,358). Each unit (priced at $0.85 per unit) consists of one Share and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share of the Company at a price of $1.15 until either (i) the May 5, 2008; or (ii) if the common shares of the Company commence trading on either Tier 1 of the TSX Venture Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange prior to the May 5, 2008, by May 5, 2011.

B.    Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2008 the Company had working capital, including cash and short-term investments, of $12,431,914. At December 31, 2007 the Company had a cash and short-term investments of $13,224,013 and working capital of $10,340,862 (2006-$14,908,791 and $14,643,599 respectively). The Company has sufficient funds to complete all planned exploration work programs for the upcoming year. However the ability of the Company to successfully bring these mineral properties to production is conditional on its ability to secure financing when required. The Company proposes to meet additional financing requirements through equity financing. In light of the continually changing financial markets, there is no assurance that new funding will be available at the times required or desired by the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s cash position, including short-term investments, decreased by $1,684,778, which included the receipt of $4,800,000 relating to the sale of it’s Niger properties to Niger Uranium which was offset by approximately $6,300,000 in expenditures for its operating activities, mainly on its exploration properties.

The Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or any debt instruments outstanding. Other than its exploration commitments and purchase/option payment commitments described in F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations, the Company does not anticipate having to commit to undertake any significant capital expenditures in the foreseeable future. The Company can terminate all option or joint venture agreements requiring minimum exploration expenses at any time without further financial obligations.

The Company’s expenditures to date have satisfied the various conditions necessary to maintain the Company’s option agreements on the Company’s Pichachos copper-gold and the North Rae and Daniel Lake Uranium Projects. In the event its options on the North Rae and Daniel Lake Uranium Projects are terminated, as described in Item 4 D. Property, Plants and Equipment, for the next twelve months the Company anticipates that it will require approximately $1,000,000 in funds to pay for its exploration program and satisfy it option/purchase payment obligations for its interest in the Picachos project. In the event its options on the North Rae and Daniel Lake Uranium Projects are not terminated, for the next twelve months the Company anticipates that it will require approximately

36





Table of Contents

$1,500,000 in funds to pay for its exploration program and satisfy its option/purchase payment obligations for all of its property interests. In addition, the Company believes it will need a minimum of $1,000,000 for expenses relating to administration, salaries, and shareholder and public relations activities. The Company has sufficient capital on hand to undertake is exploration plans and fund its general and administrative expenses. However, there can be no assurance the Company will continue to be able to raise the necessary funds to fulfill its obligations.

Since all of its property interests are only at the exploration stage, the Company has no sources of revenue other than interest earned on its cash. The primary source of funding for the Company is the issue of equity capital. The Company’s capital requirements in the future will be largely dependant upon the success of its various exploration programs. Until such time as a feasibility study is completed and a production decision is made with regard to one of the Company’s properties, it is expected that the only available source of future capital will be through the issuance of additional equity shares. The availability of equity capital, and the price at which additional equity could be issued, is dependent upon the success of the Company’s exploration activities, and upon the state of the capital markets generally. See ‘‘Item 3. Key Information. D. Risk Factors.’’

C.    Research and development, patents and licenses, etc.

Since its incorporation on September 26, 2003 the Company has not engaged in any research and development activities.

D.    Trend Information.

Not Applicable.

E.    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

The Company is not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

F.    Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.

The Company’s contractual obligations are in connection with its following mining interests: (i) an option to acquire a 70% interest in properties in Mexico’s Durango provinces (the ‘‘Picachos Project’’), (ii) an option to acquire up to a 65% interest in the North Rae Uranium Project, Northern Quebec, Canada, and (iii) an option to acquire a 65% interest in the Daniel Lake Property, Northern Quebec, Canada. On July 5, 2008 the Company entered into an agreement with Azimut to terminate its (i) option on the North Rae Uranium Project and (ii) its option to acquire a 65% interest in the Daniel Lake Property, Northern Quebec, Canada, described in ‘‘Item 4. Property, Plants and Equiment. Daniel Lake Uranium Project, Northern Quebec, Canada.’’ The termination of the two option agreements is conditional upon Azimut (i) paying the Company $4,000,000 by October 3, 2008 and (ii) issuing the Company 1,100,000 of Azimut’s common shares.

No amount has been set aside or accrued by the Company and its subsidiaries during the last fiscal year of the Company to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors and officers of the Company pursuant to any existing plan provided or contributed to by the Company and its subsidiaries, or otherwise.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Company’s audit committee is comprised of the entire board of directors. Each of the directors are considered to be ‘‘independent’’ other than Mr. John Lynch, the Company’s president and chief executive officer.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

In the event that the Company wishes to retain the services of its external auditors for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall consult with the members of the audit committee, who shall have the authority to approve or disapprove on behalf of the audit committee, such non-audit services. All other non-audit services shall be approved or disapproved by the audit Committee as a whole.

Compensation Committee

The full Board of Directors performs the functions of a compensation committee. The Board believes that this is a practical approach at this stage of the Company’s development and given the small size of the Board and the fact that it is comprised of a majority of independent directors.

The Board as a whole reviews on an annual basis the adequacy and form of compensation of directors to ensure that the compensation of the Board reflects the responsibilities, time commitments,

44

and risks involved in being a responsible director. The directors of the Company receive annual fees for their service as directors, as well as additional fees for each meeting attended. All directors are also eligible to participate in the Option Plan. See ‘‘Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees. Compensation of Directors’’.

In addition, the Board as a whole reviews the compensation paid to the President and Chief Executive Officer, and any other key executive officers of the Company.

Common Shares

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares (‘‘Shares’’), with no par value.

The holders of Shares are entitled to such dividends as and when declared by our board of directors, to one vote per share at meetings of shareholders and upon liquidation, to receive such of our assets as are distributable to holders of Shares, subject to the rights of holders, if any, of the Preferred Shares. All Shares presently outstanding are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Shares have no preference, conversion, exchange, preemptive or cumulative voting rights.

All Shares are entitled to one vote per share at all meetings of shareholders, rank equally as to dividends and as to the distribution of the Company’s assets available for distribution in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. There are no preemptive or conversion rights and no provision for redemption, purchase for cancellation, surrender or sinking or purchase funds.

Provisions as to the modification, amendment or variation of such rights and provisions are contained in the Business Companies Act (Ontario) (the ‘‘Act’’) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Certain fundamental changes to the articles of the Company will require the approval of two-thirds of the votes cast on a resolution submitted to a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders called for the purpose of considering the resolution. These items include (i) an amendment to the provisions relating to the outstanding capital of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (iii) an amalgamation of the Company with another company, other than a subsidiary, (iv) a winding-up of the Company, (v) a continuance of the Company into another jurisdiction, (vi) a statutory court approved arrangement under the Act (essentially a corporate reorganization such as an amalgamation, sale of assets, winding-up, etc.), and (vii) a change of name.

Although the Act does not specifically impose any restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of shares, under the Act a corporation cannot repurchase its shares or declare dividends if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (a) the corporation is, or after payment would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or (b) after the payment, the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would be less than the aggregate of (i) its liabilities and (ii) its stated capital of all classes of its securities. Generally, stated capital is the amount paid on the issuance of a share.

ARTICLES AND BY-LAWS

The following presents a description of certain terms and provisions of the Company’s articles and by-laws.

E.    Exchange Controls.

There are no laws, governmental decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital or which affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our shares, other than withholding tax requirements. Reference is made to Item 10E. Taxation.

There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or the Province of Ontario, or in our constituting documents, with respect to the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote Shares other than those imposed by the Investment Canada Act.

The Investment Canada Act is a federal Canadian statute which regulates the acquisition of control of existing Canadian businesses and the establishment of new Canadian businesses by an individual, a government or entity that is a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ as that term is defined in the Investment Canada Act.

Management of the Company believes that it is not currently a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ for purposes of the Investment Canada Act. If the Company were to become a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ in the future, acquisitions of control of Canadian businesses by the Company would become subject to the Investment Canada Act. Generally, the direct acquisition by a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ of an existing Canadian business with gross assets of $5,000,000 or more is reviewable under the Investment Canada Act, with thresholds of $223 million and $237 million for transactions closing in 2003 and 2004, respectively, for ‘‘WTO investors’’ as defined under the Investment Canada Act. If the Company were to become a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ in the future, Management believes the Company would likely become a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ which is a ‘‘WTO investor.’’ Generally, indirect acquisitions of existing Canadian businesses (with gross assets over certain threshold levels) are reviewable under the Investment Canada Act, except in situations involving ‘‘WTO investors’’ where indirect acquisitions are generally not reviewable. In transactions involving Canadian businesses engaged in the production of uranium, providing financial services, providing transportation services or which are cultural businesses, the benefit of the higher ‘‘WTO investor’’ thresholds do not apply.

Acquisitions of businesses related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity (regardless of the value of assets involved) may also be reviewable under the Investment Canada Act. In addition, investments to establish new, unrelated businesses are not generally reviewable. An investment to establish a new business that is related to the non-Canadian’s existing business in Canada is not notifiable under the Investment Canada Act unless such investment relates to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity.

Investments which are reviewable under the Investment Canada Act are reviewed by the Minister, designated as being responsible for the administration of the Investment Canada Act. Reviewable investments, generally, may not be implemented prior to the Minister’s determining that the

52





Table of Contents

investment is likely to be of ‘‘net benefit to Canada’’ based on the criteria set out in the Investment Canada Act. Generally investments by non-Canadians consisting of the acquisition of control of Canadian businesses which acquisitions are otherwise non-reviewable or the establishment of new Canadian businesses require that a notice be given under the Investment Canada Act in the prescribed form and manner.

Any proposed take-over of the Company by a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ would likely be subject only to the simple ‘‘notification’’ requirements of the Investment Canada Act as in all likelihood that non-Canadian would be a ‘‘WTO investor’’ for purposes of the Investment Canada Act. Generally, a ‘‘WTO investor’’ is an individual, other than a Canadian, who is a national of a country that is a member of the World Trade Organization. In the case of a person that is not an individual, a WTO investor is a person that generally, is ultimately controlled by individuals, other than Canadians, who are nationals of a WTO member. Currently there are 134 countries that are members of the WTO, including virtually all countries of the Western world. The Company would have to have an asset base of at least before the ‘‘reviewable’’ transaction provisions of the Investment Canada Act became relevant for consideration by a third party non-Canadian acquirer, which is not a WTO investor.

F.    Taxation.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences — General

The following is a brief summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable to a person who holds common shares of the Company and who, at all relevant times for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the ‘‘Canadian Tax Act’’) and the Canada – United States Tax Convention, 1980, as amended (the ‘‘US Treaty’’),

  is or is deemed to be a resident solely of the United States,
  holds the common shares as capital property and as beneficial owner,
  does not and is not deemed to use or hold the common shares in or in the course of a business carried on in Canada, and
  does not carry on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere,

(a ‘‘US Holder’’)

This summary is based on the facts set forth in this Form 20-F, the current provisions of the US Treaty, the Canadian Tax Act and regulations thereunder, and our understanding of the current published administrative and assessing policies and practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the ‘‘CRA’’), and takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act (the ‘‘Proposed Amendments’’) publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof. It is assumed that all such amendments will be enacted as currently proposed, and that there will be no other change to any relevant law or administrative or assessing policy or practice, although no assurances can be given in this respect. Except as otherwise expressly set out herein, this summary also does not take into account any provincial, territorial or non-Canadian income tax law, the implications of which may differ from the Canadian federal income tax considerations.

On September 21, 2007, the Minister of Finance (Canada) and the United States Secretary of the Treasury signed the fifth protocol to the US Treaty (the ‘‘Protocol’’) which includes amendments to many of the provision of the US Treaty, including significant amendments to the limitation on benefits provision. The Protocol will enter into force once it is ratified by both the Canadian and United States governments (or on January 1, 2008, if it is ratified in 2007) and will have effect in respect of withholding taxes, after the first day of the second month that begins after the date on which the Protocol enters into force. US Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the impact of the Protocol and their entitlement to relief under the US Treaty based on their particular circumstances.

The following discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of the Company’s shares and no opinion or representation

53





Table of Contents

with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of the Company’s shares should consult with their own tax advisors about the federal, provincial, local and non-Canadian tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of the Company’s shares.

Dividends

Dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a US Holder by the Company will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (or 5% in the case of a US Holder that is a corporation beneficially owning at least 10% of the Company’s ‘‘voting stock’’ within the meaning of the US Treaty). Dividends may be exempt from withholding tax in the case of some US Holders such as qualifying tax exempt entities.

Disposition of Common Shares

A US Holder who realizes a capital gain on the actual or deemed disposition of a common share will not be subject to Canadian federal income tax under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of the capital gain unless such common share constitutes ‘‘taxable Canadian property’’ to the US Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the US Holder is not exempt from Canadian federal income tax on such gain pursuant to the terms of the US Treaty.

Generally, a common share owned by US Holder will not be taxable Canadian property of the US Holder at a particular time provided that, at that time,

  the common shares of the Company are listed on the TSX,
  neither the US Holder nor persons with whom the US Holder does not deal at arm’s length alone or in any combination has owned 25% or more of the shares of any class or series of shares in the capital of the Company at any time in the previous five years, and
  the common share was not acquired in a transaction, a result of which it was deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the US Holder.

A US Holder that realizes a capital gain on the disposition of common shares that do qualify as taxable Canadian property will, nevertheless, generally be exempt from Canadian federal income tax thereon by virtue of the US Treaty unless:

  more than 50% of the value of the common shares is derived from real property (within the meaning of the US Treaty) that is located in Canada,
  the US Holder (i) was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding the disposition and for a total of 20 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when the US Holder ceased to be a resident of Canada.

A US Holder who is subject to Canadian federal income tax in respect of a disposition of a common share will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the US Holder’s proceeds of disposition, less reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of the common share to the US Holder. In these circumstances, a US Holder who realizes a capital gain or capital loss in a taxation year will be required to include one half of the capital gain (the taxable capital gain) in income for Canadian federal income tax purposes, and may deduct one half of the capital loss (the allowable capital loss) against taxable capital gains incurred in respect of dispositions of taxable Canadian property, subject to and accordance with the provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the US Treaty.

United States Taxation

The following summary is a general discussion of the material United States Federal income tax considerations to US holders of our Shares under current law. It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders

54





Table of Contents

subject to special rules, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of our shares is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not capital assets and any other non-US holders.

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (‘‘IRS’’) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. The following discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of our shares and no opinion or representation with respect to the United States Federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our shares should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal, state, local, estate and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our shares.

US Holders

As used herein, a ‘‘US Holder’’ includes a holder of shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any entity that is taxable as a corporation for US tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of our shares is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A US Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of our shares is not effectively connected with conduct or trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not as capital assets.

Distributions on our Shares

US Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to our shares are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits as defined under US Federal tax law, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the US Holder’s United States Federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the US Holder’s United States Federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions. (See more detailed discussion at ‘‘Foreign Tax Credit’’ below). To the extent that distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the US Holder’s adjusted basis in the shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the shares. Preferential tax rates for net capital gains are applicable to a US Holder that is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a US Holder that is a corporation.

With effect from January 1, 2003, the United States reduced the maximum tax rate on certain qualifying dividend distributions to 15% (5% for certain US Holders). In order for dividends paid by foreign corporations to qualify for the reduced rates, (1) the foreign corporation must meet certain requirements, including that it not be classified as a foreign investment company or a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes in either the taxable year of the

55





Table of Contents

distribution or the preceding taxable year, and (2) the US Holder must meet the required holding period. In order to meet the required holding period, the US Holder must hold our Common Shares for at least 60 days during the 120-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date.

Dividends paid on our shares will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A US Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from us (unless we qualify as a ‘‘foreign personal holding company’’ or a ‘‘passive foreign investment company’’, as defined below) if such US Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of our voting power and value. The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion.

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into US dollars on the date of receipt, a US Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its US dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally, any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for US dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, for tax years after 1997, an individual whose realized foreign exchange gain does not exceed US $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are not expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirement for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip or as an expense for the production of income).

Foreign Tax Credit

A US Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of our shares may be entitled, at-the option of the US Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the US Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the US Holder’s United States Federal income tax liability that the US Holder’s foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as ‘‘passive income’’, ‘‘high withholding tax interest’’, ‘‘financial services income’’, ‘‘shipping income’’, and certain other classifications of income. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of our shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Disposition of our Shares

A US Holder will recognize a gain or loss upon the sale of our shares equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in our shares. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the US Holder, and will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the US Holder. Preferential tax rates for long-term gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder which is a corporation.

Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. Corporate capital losses (other than losses of corporations electing under Subchapter S or the Code) are deductible to the extent of capital gains. Non-corporate taxpayers may deduct net capital losses, whether short-term or long-term, up to US $3,000 a year (US $1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately). For US Holders which are individuals, any unused portion of

56





Table of Contents

such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For US Holders which are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.

Other Considerations

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of our shares:

Foreign Personal Holding Company

If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% (50% in subsequent years) or more of our gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources, we would be treated as a ‘‘foreign personal holding company’’. In that event, US Holders that hold our shares (on the earlier of the last day of our tax year or the last date on which we were a foreign personal holding company) would be required to include in gross income for such year their allowable portions of such passive income to the extent we do not actually distribute such income.

Foreign Investment Company

If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of our outstanding shares are held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701 (a)(31)), and we are found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that we might be treated as a ‘‘foreign investment company’’ as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a US Holder selling or exchanging our shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

As a foreign corporation with US Holders, we could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (‘‘PFIC’’), as defined in Section 1296 of the Code, if 75% or more of our gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or the average percentage of our assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%. Passive income is generally defined to include gross income in the nature of dividends, interest, royalties, rents and annuities; excess of gains over losses from certain transactions in any commodities not arising inter alia from a PFIC whose business is actively involved in such commodities; certain foreign currency gains; and other similar types of income. US Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to an additional tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the shares of the PFIC are owned, in addition to treatment of any gain realized on the disposition of shares of the PFIC as ordinary income rather than as a capital gain. However, if the US Holder makes a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund (‘‘QEF’’) with respect to such shareholder’s interest therein, the above-described rules generally will not apply. Instead, the electing US Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and any net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed. A US Holder of a QEF can, however, elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income inclusions. Special rules apply to US Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or persons.

The IRS has issued proposed regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing US Holder that are generally not otherwise

57





Table of Contents

taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases, the basis of our shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. A US Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed below) will not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. The transferee’s basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer. The specific tax effect to the US Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which our shares are transferred. Each US Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.

Shareholder Election

These adverse tax consequences may be avoided, if the US Holder has elected to treat the PFIC as a qualified electing fund (a ‘‘QEF’’) with respect to that US Holder effective for each of the PFIC’s taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, which include any portion of the US Holder’s holding period.

The procedure a US Holder must comply with in making an effective QEF election will depend on whether the year of election is the first year in the US Holder’s holding period in which we are a PFIC. If the US Holder makes a QEF election in such first year (i.e. a timely QEF election), then the US Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the US Holder files his tax return for such first year. If, however, we qualified as a PFIC in a prior year, then in addition to filing documents, the US Holder must generally recognize gain as if it had sold the QEF stock on the first day of the taxable year in which the QEF election is made, if (i) the US Holder holds stock in the PFIC on that day, and (ii) the US Holder can establish the fair market value of the PFIC stock on that day. The US Holder will treat that deemed sale transaction as a disposition of PFIC stock and will, thereafter, be subject to the rules described below applicable to US shareholders of a QEF.

In general, US shareholders of a QEF are taxable currently on their pro rata share of the QEF’s ordinary income and net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed. A US Holder of a QEF can, however, elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income inclusions.

Mark to Market Election

Effective for tax years of US Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, US Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a ‘‘mark-to-market election’’). If such an election is made, such US Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable years for which the mark-to-market election is made. A US Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our shares as of the close of such tax year over such US Holder’s adjusted basis in such shares. In addition, the US Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such US Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for our shares included by such US Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a US Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) our shares and we are a PFIC (‘‘Non-Electing US Holder’’), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A US Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our shares will be increased or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.

The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex. US Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or the total value of our stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock (‘‘United States shareholder’’), we could be treated as a ‘‘controlled foreign corporation’’ under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would cause many complex results including the required inclusion by such United States shareholders in income of their pro rata share of our ‘‘Subpart F income’’ (as specially defined by the Code). If we are both a PFIC and controlled foreign corporation, we will generally not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States shareholders of the controlled foreign corporation. This rule generally will be effective for our taxable years ending with or within such taxable years of United States shareholders. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, a gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a US Holder who is or was a United States shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to the stock sold or exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because it is not clear that Subpart F would apply to the US Holders of our shares, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and Canada Multilateral Instrument 52-109, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting was conducted as of December 31, 2007 under the supervision of management, including the CEO and the CFO. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company is unaware of any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s financial controls and procedures as of the year end covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our financial controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Item 16A.    Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company’s audit committee is comprised of the entire board of directors. Each of the directors are considered to be ‘‘independent’’ other than Mr. John Lynch, the Company’s president and chief executive officer. Each member of the board of directors is considered, under Canadian guidelines, to be ‘‘financially literate,’’which includes the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and complexity of the Company’s accounting issues.
