NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

(Exploration Stage Company)
(Presented in Canadian Dollars)

Note 1

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

         

The Company was incorporated in British Columbia on February 6, 1996. By Articles of Continuances effective June 3, 1996, the Company was continued in Ontario under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario). On November 4, 1996, the Company was continued in Alberta under the name Latin American Mining Investment Corporation. On February 18, 1997, the Company was extra-provincially registered in British Columbia.

 

                 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The continued operation of the Company is dependent, also, upon continued creditor support, the acquisition and discovery of economically recoverable mineral properties and reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete property development and upon further profitable production. The Company is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

       

The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such person may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

 

Note 2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

a)      Foreign Currency Translation

 

       

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the period end exchange rate, non-monetary assets are translated at historical exchange rates and all income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in income.

 

 

b)      Loss Per Share

 

 

Loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

 

 

c)      Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

     

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial statements include cash, receivables, advances receivable, cheques issued in excess of cash, accounts payable and property obligations payable.

 

         

Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

Note 2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

 

d)      Deferred Costs

 

       

The company follows the practice of capitalizing all costs related to exploration projects, until such time as the project is put into commercial production, sold or abandoned. If commercial production commences, capitalized costs will be amortized on a unit-of-production basis. When mineral properties are abandoned, the related capitalized costs are expensed.

 

 

e)      Future Income Taxes

 

     

The company recognizes income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Future income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statements and tax bases using enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expressed to affect taxable income, and where there is relative certainty the losses will be realized.

 

 

f)      Use of Estimates

 

         

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

 

 

g)      Stock-based Compensation

 

   

The company recognizes and values stock-based compensation on the Black-Scholes model of option pricing, as recommended by the CICA Handbook Section 3870.

Note 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
   
       

In November, 2005, the Company completed a purchase agreement with 606896 B.C. Ltd. to acquire the Bloom 1-10 mineral claims, located west of and adjoining the Harrison Lake Massive Sulphide Project, for cash payment of $40,000, the issuance of 500,000 common shares and a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR).

 

       

The Company has also signed a letter agreement to acquire a 100% interest in 53 mining claims totaling approximately 22,800 hectares that encircle the current Beale Lake property. The purchase agreement requires a cash payment of $200,000, the issuance of 2,500,000 shares and is subject to a 2% NSR.


Note 9 UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
   
     

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (CDN GAAP) which, in these financial statements, conform in all material respects with those in the United States (US GAAP), except as follows:


  a)

Exploration Expenditures

   

 

 

Under CDN GAAP, exploration expenditures are capitalized until the property is sold or abandoned. If developed, the deferred expenditures are amortized over the expected benefit period. There can be no assurance of the commencement of operations. US GAAP requires that exploration expenditures be expensed as incurred until it is determined that commercially viable operations exist and the expenditures then incurred are recoverable.

   

 

  b)

Flow-through Shares and Future Income Tax Recovery

   

 

 

Under Canadian GAAP flow-through shares are recorded at the value of compensation received less an amount equal to future income tax liability resulting from the related renunciation of qualified exploration expenditures as a reduction in share capital. The Company also recognizes in operations the realization of future income tax benefits of previously unrecorded future income tax assets on the date of renouncement of the expenditures to the flow-through share investors. Under US GAAP flow-through shares have a carrying value equal to that of non flow-through shares and the difference between the fair value of the shares and the value of compensation received is reported as a recovery of deferred tax benefit on the statement of operations. As the value of the compensation received for flow-through shares issued during the year was equal to the fair value of non flow-through shares on the date issued, no recovery of deferred tax benefit is required for US GAAP purposes.

NOTE 9 UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)
     
  c) Comprehensive Income
   

                   

Under US GAAP, SFAS No. 130 requires that companies report comprehensive income as a measure of overall performance. Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a year except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners. There is no similar concept under Canadian GAAP. The Company has determined that it had no comprehensive income other than the loss in any of the years presented.

   

  d)

Interest expense on related party debt

   

                       

Under US GAAP, in the absence of an established interest rate, the present value of the loan is determined by discounting the loan using an imputed rate of interest. The imputed interest rate used is one that approximates the rate that an independent borrower and lender would have negotiated in a similar transaction. Any difference between the face amount of the loan and its present value is accounted for as a discount or premium and amortized over the term of the loan. The Company had no interest expense on related party debt.

   

  e)

Escrow Shares

   

                                   

Under CDN GAAP shares issued with escrow restrictions are recorded at their issued price and are not revalued upon release from escrow. Under US GAAP escrow shares which are released upon the Company meeting certain criteria (performance-based) are considered to be contingently issuable. These shares are excluded from the weighted average shares calculation and the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time of their release from escrow and the shares’ original issue price (being the market price at that time) is accounted for as a compensation expense and share capital at the time shares are released from escrow. The release of the Company’s escrow shares is not performance-based and therefore no adjustments have been made to the calculation of loss per share.
