NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)
(Unaudited)
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006

1.     Nature of business

    The Company is an integrated mining and metals processing company that operates mines and concentrators in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Canada. It operates a copper and zinc metal production complex in Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada, a zinc oxide production facility in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, the Balmat zinc mine in New York, USA and on January 1, 2006 acquired a copper refinery operation in Michigan, USA.

    On July 6, 2006, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Pan American Resources Corp., completed the sale of 100% of its outstanding shares in ScoZinc Limited to Acadian Gold Corporation for $7.5 million plus adjustments, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.7 million. Pan American Resources Corp. was wound up during this transaction.

2.     Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

    These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, all of its subsidiaries and the proportionate share of the assets and liabilities of any joint ventures where the Company shares joint ownership.

    The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") following the same accounting policies as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

    The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto.

3.     Acquisition of White Pine Copper Refinery Inc.

    On January 1, 2006, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited (HBMS), acquired all of the outstanding common shares of White Pine Copper Refinery Inc. (WPCR) for total cash purchase consideration of $17,913. The acquisition is accounted for by the purchase method and the result of operations and cash flows has been included within these consolidated financial statements from January 1, 2006.

    On January 31, 2006, HBMS concluded a $25 million revolving credit facility that matures on January 30, 2007. During the third quarter, the facility was increased to $50 million. Subject to the approval of the lenders, the initial maturity date may be extended for an additional 364 days.

    The borrowings under this facility may be made in either Canadian dollars in the form of (a) Prime Rate Advances or (b) Bankers' Acceptances or in United States dollars in the form of (i) United States Base Rate Advances or (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) loans. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest, when drawn, at a rate that varies based on the type of borrowing. Canadian or US dollar denominated letters of credit or guarantees can also be used against this facility. As of September 30, 2006 there were no amounts drawn under the facility.

8


    This credit facility provides that during the term of this agreement, HBMS will be required to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio not exceeding 3.25 to 1 and an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.5. As of September 30, 2006, the Company is in compliance with these covenants.

    During the quarter, US$11,700 of senior secured notes was repurchased with operating cash flow at an average premium of 1.10 resulting in additional costs of US$1,200. Deferred financing fees associated with the reduction in debt were expensed in the amount of $0.5 million. Since the HBMS acquisition in 2004, the Company has reduced its US$175,000 of US notes to US$45,100 (C$50,453).

Income tax (expense) benefit   $ 17,799   $ (3,751 ) $ 90,388   $ (9,277 )
   
 
 
 
 

    Current income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes $18,589 of estimated Manitoba mining tax, since management's current earnings projections indicate that the Company will be required to pay mining taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006. Manitoba mining tax expense was not recorded prior to June 30, 2006, as the utilization of previously unrecognized timing differences were such that no taxes were previously payable.

    The Company has recognized a future income tax asset of $133,200 as at September 30, 2006, which reflects an increase of $107,000 from the December 31, 2005 balance. A valuation allowance has been provided to limit the recognized future income tax asset to an amount management considers more likely than not to be realized.

    Pursuant to a short form prospectus dated May 30, 2006, the Company offered new common shares as an incentive for holders of its publicly-traded warrants to exercise early such warrants during a 30-day early exercise period commencing June 5, 2006. As at June 30, 2006, 377,570,290 warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 13,340,808 shares including early exercise shares of 755,132 (0.002 per warrant) for cash proceeds of $39,645. Share issuance costs include approximately $2,081 of costs incurred plus the estimated value of the incentive shares of $10,723. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, an additional 621,378,403 warrants were exercised pursuant to the early exercise transaction resulting in the issuance of 21,955,363 shares, including 1,242,750 early exercise shares, for cash proceeds of $65,244 with the estimated value of the incentive shares of $17,649. Eligible warrants of 24,166,512 not exercised as of July 5, 2006 were subject to automatic exchange for 0.02662 common shares per warrant for a total of 643,294 common shares. The company has approximately 3,900,000 unexercised warrants expiring December 21, 2009 that were not eligible for the early warrant exercise proposal in 2006.

10


      Proceeds from exercise of warrants of $99,338 for the quarter ($166,009 — nine months) represents cash proceeds from the exercised warrants of $65,440 ($109,728 — nine months), the incentive shares estimated value of $17,649 ($28,371 — nine months) and the estimated fair value of the warrants of $16,249 ($27,910 — nine months).

      On April 25, 2006, the company issued 1,460,000 flow-through common shares at a price of $13.75 per share for gross proceeds of $20,075 less share issue costs of $1,033. Proceeds from the private placement will be used for exploration on the Company's Canadian properties.

      During 2005, the Company completed two private placements for a total of 2,999,452 flow-through common shares with proceeds from the financing for Canadian exploration. In February 2006, the Company renounced $10 million of the flow-through financing to investors with an effective date of December 31, 2005. In accordance with EIC-146 "Flow-through shares", the Company reduced its share capital by $3,662 using a tax rate of approximately 37% applied to the temporary taxable differences created by the renunciation.

    Stock option plan:

      Pursuant to the Company's stock option plan (the "Plan") approved in June 2005, during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company granted additional options to directors and employees of the company for the 2006 entitlement. The fair value of these options has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.2%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 50%; and a weighted average expected life of these options of 4 years.

      The fair value of the options granted earlier in 2006 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 42%; and a weighted average expected life of these options of 4 years.

11.   Risk management using financial instruments

    The Company from time to time employs derivative financial instruments, including forward and option contracts, to manage risk originating from actual exposures to commodity price risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

    (a)
    Foreign currency risk management:

      The Company uses forward exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of movements in exchange rates on certain foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities and future anticipated transactions.

      The Company holds put options securing the right, but not the obligation, to sell US$4.375 million per quarter at $1.20482, continuing to January 2009. Prior to January 1, 2006, management had designated these put options as a hedge against forecasted US dollar sales and had applied hedge accounting guidelines as appropriate. However, at January 1, 2006, the hedging relationship ceased to meet requirements for critical terms match as a result of changes in payment terms for the sales contract. The relationship then became ineligible for hedge accounting. The unrealized gain on the option was deferred at January 1, 2006, with $438 to be taken into income over the remaining term of the option ($36 per quarter). The changes in fair value after January 1, 2006 have been recognized in income as a loss of $822 in the three months ended September 30, 2006 and a gain of $320 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

    (b)
    Commodity price risk management:

      From time to time, the Company maintains price protection programs and conducts commodity price risk management through the use of forward sales contracts, spot deferred contracts, option contracts and commodity collar contracts.

      The Company manages the risk associated with forward physical sales where it receives a fixed price regarding zinc and zinc oxide and, accordingly, enters into forward zinc purchase contracts to convert the fixed price to a floating price arrangement. Previously forward contracts were held through the Company's 50% joint venture interest in CMM. Effective June 1, 2006 the Company has assumed 100% of all contracts outstanding. At September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding forward contracts to purchase 5,757 tonnes of zinc at prices ranging from US$1,043 to US$3,745 per tonne with settlement dates prior to January 31, 2008. The fair values approximate carrying value.

14.   Commitments

    (a)
    St. Lawrence Zinc Company LLC:

      In 2003, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, St. Lawrence Zinc Company LLC ("St. Lawrence"). St. Lawrence was incorporated in the State of New York for the purposes of acquiring the Balmat zinc mine ("Balmat").

      On September 24, 2003, St. Lawrence purchased the Balmat zinc mine and related assets located in upper New York state. Total consideration paid consisted of a cash deposit of US$1 million required to assume an environmental bond. In addition, the asset purchase agreement requires the Company to pay a cash purchase price out of 30% of future net free cash flow from Balmat mine operations, after allowing for reasonable capital and exploration expenditures. The cash purchase price is subject to a "Cap" of US$20 million.

      The Cap is to be increased to US$25 million if the monthly average special high grade settlement price of zinc, as quoted by The London Metal Exchange, averages US$0.70 or greater during any consecutive 24-month period after the closing date and prior to the fifth anniversary of the date on which the seller receives payment of the US$20 million. As at September 30, 2006, those requirements have been met, and the Cap will be increased to US$25 million.

14


      As at September 30, 2006, an estimate cannot be made with respect to the amount of cash purchase price to be paid, if any, and consequently no accrual has been recorded in the financial statements. The cash purchase price will be accounted for as additional cost when management is able to reasonably estimate amounts to be paid.

    (b)
    Sale of Balmat concentrate and purchase of zinc concentrate

      The Company executed an agreement to sell all the concentrate produced from the Balmat Mine for the life of the mine, anticipated to be from June 2006 to 2014.

      The Company executed another agreement with the same party to buy suitable concentrates to be delivered to Flin Flon in quantities up to 40% of the Balmat life of mine concentrate production.
