Sutcliffe Resources Ltd. (SR – TSX.V) is pleased to report that Kingsdale Capital Markets Inc. has been retained by the Company to act as financial advisor to accelerate the repositioning of the company from a Canadian exploration company to become a major gold explorer in the Russian Federation.

The Company is currently in the process of completing its due diligence on the Irkutsk projects and ML, the private Russian Company which owns the projects. Consequently, it has obtained an extension for the acquisition of a 51% interest and, ultimately, a 100% interest in the Ozherelie and Ykanskoye mineral projects, located in the Irkutsk Oblast region of Siberia, Russia, approximately 1,100 kilometres north of the City of Irkutsk and 35 kilometres from the Sukhoi Log gold deposit. The Company will be obligated to pay US$9,000,000 by December 8, 2006, following on an initial US$1,000,000 payment.

The proposed acquisition is subject to execution of a formal agreement, financing and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Further information on the aforementioned projects will be released as it becomes available.

EX-99.7 8 exhibit99-7.htm MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 Filed by Automated Filing Services Inc. (604) 609-0244 - Sutcliffe Resources Ltd. - Exhibit 99.7

SUTCLIFFE RESOURCES LTD.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the quarter ended September 30, 2006
Form 51-102F1 as at November 27, 2006

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is in the business of acquiring and developing mineral exploration projects. The Company has interests in the Harrison Lake nickel-copper and precious metal project in southwestern British Columbia and in the Beale Lake gold property located in northern British Columbia. The Company has also recently formalized its agreement with Chukot Gold Ltd (Chukot)., a Russian corporation which has acquired mineral properties in the Chukotka Autonomous Region of Russia.

OPERATIONS AND EXPENDITURES

The Harrison Lake Project is a belt of ultramafic and metavolcanics and metasediments which extend from the site of the former B.C. Nickel Mine, 7 kilometres north of Hope, B.C., over 60 kilometres along the east side of Harrison Lake. The Company had previously identified 15 high priority sulphide related Airborne ElectroMagnetic (AEM) targets and combined with the data from detailed ground geophysical surveying had selected drill hole locations. Drilling will commence once the Company finalizes its joint venture arrangement and weather conditions are favourable.

The Beale Lake Project, 75 kilometers northeast of Dease Lake, B.C., is a sheeted stockwork quartz-sulphide-scheelite vein and siliceous replacement mineralization system that has characteristics of both the Alaska Fort Knox and Pogo intrusion related gold deposits. An Induced Polarization (IP) survey was designed to follow up on high grade gold showings and used to select drill targets. The Company carried out a preliminary drill program and has completed a number of diamond drill holes todate.

The Company has ratified an agreement with Chukot in which two gold exploration licenses that were awarded to Chukot in an auction held August 17, 2006, will be acquired by the Company. The Tumannoye license covers an area of 19 square kilometers located in the northern part of the Chukotski peninsula and is serviced by road to the seaport of Egvekinot. The Elvenei license covers an area of 12 square kilometers located in central Chukotka and is 540 kilometers from Russia’s largest Arctic seaport, Pevek. Both of these licenses were acquired by the Company through its agreement with Chukot with a successful total bid of $2,485,636. The Company will be undertaking an extensive exploration program of trenching and drilling on both of these properties in the coming months.

Ability to Continue as a
Going Concern

While the interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, the occurrence of significant losses in recent years and the Company’s deficit raise substantial doubt about the validity of this assumption. If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these interim financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported net loss and the balance sheet classifications used. The Company’s interim financial statements as at September 30, 2006 and 2005 do not include such adjustments.

 

 

The Company’s continued existence as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to continue to obtain adequate financing arrangements and to achieve profitable operations. Management’s plans in this regard are to diversify its resource property holdings and obtain sufficient equity or debt financing to enable the Company to continue its efforts towards the exploration and development of new mineral properties.

 

 

While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate sufficient funds for operations.

 

Cash

The Company considers cash to include amounts held in banks and highly liquid investments with maturities at point of purchase of three months or less. The Company places its cash and cash investments with institutions of high-credit worthiness. At times, such cash and investments may be in excess of federal insurance limits.

 

Resource Properties

Acquisition, exploration and development costs relating to mineral properties are deferred until such time as it is determined that the costs are not likely to be recouped or mineral properties are brought into production, abandoned, or sold, at which time they are amortized on the unit of production basis over the estimated life of the property or written off to earnings. Revenue incidental to exploration and development activities, including the proceeds on sales of partial properties, is credited against the cost of related properties. Aggregate costs related to abandoned properties are charged to operations at the time of any abandonment or when there is an expectation that the carrying amount of those costs will not be recovered. Inactive properties are carried at cost unless there is an abandonment of the Company’s interest, at which time the cost is written off. Gains or losses on partial sales of properties are reflected in the Statement of Operations and Deficit in the period of sale.

 

 

Where the Company enters into an option agreement for the acquisition of an interest in mining properties which provides for periodic payments, such amounts unpaid are not recorded as a liability since they are payable entirely at the Company’s option.



SUTCLIFFE RESOURCES LTD.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
September 30, 2006 and 2005
(Exploration Stage Company)
(Presented in Canadian Dollars)

Future Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for by the liability method. Under this method, income taxes reflect the deferral of such taxes to future years. The deferral is a result of temporary differences which arise when certain costs, principally deferred exploration, are claimed for tax purposes in different time periods than the related amounts are amortized in the accounts.

 

Estimates and
Assumptions

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The assets which required management to make significant estimates and assumptions in determining carrying value include resource properties and stock-based compensation.

 

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the years presented.

For the interim periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, common equivalent shares (relating to options and warrants outstanding at period end) totaling 13,392,123 (2005 16,899,175) were not included in the computation of loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash, receivables, flow-through share proceeds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable. 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, due to their current maturities, fair values approximate carrying values for these financial instruments.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company has retroactively adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based compensation and other stock based payments, which now requires companies to adopt the fair value based method for all stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2002. Previously the Company was only required to disclose the pro forma effect of stock options issued to employees and directors in the notes to the financial statements. The Company has retroactively applied this new accounting policy to prior years and restated the financial statements accordingly. The effect of the restatement was to increase the net loss for 2003 by $122,500 for options granted to employees in that year, and to increase accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2003 by the same amount. Contributed surplus was restated for the corresponding effect of these restatements.

Flow Through Shares

Effective March 19, 2004, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued additional guidance on the accounting treatment of Canadian flow- through shares through its Emerging Issues Committee Abstract (EIC) No. 146. All flow-through shares issued by the Company on or after March 19, 2004 are accounted for in accordance with this Abstract. The Abstract recommends that upon renunciation to the shareholders, the Company will reduce share capital and recognize a temporary future income tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. In instances where the Company has sufficient available tax loss carryforwards or other deductible temporary differences available to offset the renounced tax deduction, the realization of the deductible temporary differences will be credited to income in the period of renunciation.

 

Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expensed at the end of the Company’s fiscal period was disclosed separately as Flow-through Share Proceeds on the Balance Sheets. Amounts of proceeds received in the period were recorded as Increase in Restricted Cash and the amounts expensed during the period were recorded as Decrease in Restricted Cash on the Statements of Cash Flows. The amount of Restricted Cash spent in the first nine months of 2006 on resource property exploration was $1,159,182 (2005 - $nil).

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company has adopted CICA 3110, Asset Retirement Obligations which requires companies to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurred a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long- lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. The obligation is measured initially at fair value using present value methodology and the resulting costs are capitalized into the carrying amount of the related asset. In subsequent periods, the liability will be adjusted for any changes in the amount or timing of the underlying future cash flows. Capitalized asset retirement costs are depreciated on the same basis as the related asset and the discounted accretion of the liability is included in determining the results of operations.

 

There was no material impact on the interim financial statements resulting from the adoption of Section 3110 in the current or prior periods presented, as the Company has only performed preliminary exploratory work on its mineral properties and has not incurred significant reclamation obligations.

 

Comparative Figures

Certain financial statement line items from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net loss, loss per share and accumulated deficit as previously presented.

Resource Properties - Continued


 

By a Purchase Agreement dated September 29, 2005, the Company acquired a 100% interest in 53 mining claims representing approximately 22,800 hectares surrounding the Beale Lake property. The agreement required a cash payment of $200,000 (paid), the issuance of 2,500,000 shares (issued see Note 4) and is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty. A finder’s fee of 300,000 shares has also been paid (Note 4).

     
  b)

Harrison Property, New Westminster Mining District, British Columbia

     
 

By a Sale, Purchase and Assignment Agreement dated March 7, 2003 and amended on November 5, 2004, the Company acquired the exclusive right to purchase a 50% interest in 92 contiguous mineral claims comprising 906 claim units, situated in the New Westminster Mining District near Harrison Lake, British Columbia. This agreement also subjects the Company to a pro-rated 50% obligation with respect to a 2% net smelter return royalty on production, a 7.5% rock royalty on gross rock revenues as well as a yearly advance royalty of $18,000 starting on July 31, 2009 as long as the Company holds an interest in the Harrison Property Claims. The terms of the agreement required an initial payment of $5,000 by September 5, 2003 (paid), an additional payment of $20,000 by November 30, 2004 (paid), the issuance of 200,000 common shares by March 15, 2005 (issued) and a minimum work program of $300,000 plus filing fees for assessment purposes to be completed by December 31, 2005 (completed).

     
 

The Harrison property agreements stipulated that upon completion of the purchase terms a joint venture will be formed with the owner of the remaining 50% interest in the mineral claims. As at September 30, 2006, the Company had not entered a joint venture with respect to this property.

     
 

By a letter agreement dated September 5, 2005, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the Bloom 1 10 mineral claims, located west of and adjoining the Harrison Lake property. The terms required a purchase price of $40,000 (paid), the issuance of 500,000 shares (issued) and a 2% net smelter return royalty payable to the vendor.

     
  c)

Chukotka Projects, Russia

     
 

The Company has ratified an agreement with Chukot Gold (Chukot) in which two gold exploration licenses that were awarded to Chukot in an auction held August 17, 2006, will be acquired by the Company. The Tumannoye license covers an area of 19 square kilometers located in the northern part of the Chukotski peninsula and is serviced by road to the seaport of Egvekinot. The Elvenei license covers an area of 12 square kilometers located in central Chukotka and is 540 kilometers from Russia’s largest Arctic seaport, Pevek. Both of these licenses were acquired by the Company through its agreement with Chukot with a successful total bid of $2,485,636.

Acquisition Deposit for Irkutsk Properties

     
 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, a total of $1,222,660 was advanced by the Company as a deposit to secure the acquisition of two mineral properties in the Irkutsk Oblast region of Russia.

     
  e)

Resource Property Investigation Expenditures

     
 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, funds were advanced to Chukot by the Company as an initial expression of interest in the possible acquisition of mineral properties. These funds were expensed as resource property investigation expenditures since there was no agreement in place at that time and no assurance that the funds would be recoverable in the future. Effective in July, 2006, an agreement was ratified between the Company and Chukot (See Note 2c) granting Sutcliffe the sole and exclusive right to acquire all of Chukot’s interests in the Tumannoye and Elvenei license mineral interests in the Chukotka region of Russia.

Under the amended terms, the Company will be obligated to make an initial US $1 million payment and then a US $9 million payment by December 8, 2006 in order to acquire a 51% interest in M.L. Ltd., a private Russian company which owns the Ozherelie and Ykanskoye mineral properties. The Company will then have to incur US $12 million in exploration expenses within four years to indicate a gold reserve of at least 600,000 ounces and pay an additional US $8 million to acquire the remaining 49% interest in M.L. Ltd.

Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

     

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

     
a)

Exploration Expenditures

     

Under Canadian GAAP, mineral exploration expenditures are capitalized or considered to be investing cash flows until the property is sold or abandoned. If developed, the expenditures are amortized over the expected benefit period. If there can be no assurance of the commencement of operations, US GAAP requires that exploration expenditures be expensed as incurred, or is considered as operating cash flow, until it is determined that commercially viable operations exist and the expenditures then incurred are recoverable. Such costs would only be capitalized after a bankable feasibility study was completed that demonstrates proven reserves. For 2004, the Company initially adopted EITF 04-2 for treating mineral property acquisition costs as tangible assets for US GAAP purposes but due to the uncertainty of recovery, these costs were written off for all the periods presented.

     
b)

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 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.

     
c)

Stock option compensation

     

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the Company to record compensation to non- employees using the fair value based method prescribed therein similar to accounting principles in effect in Canadian GAAP. The Company has not granted options to employees.

d)

Flow-through Shares

     

Under Canadian income tax regulations, a company is permitted to issue shares whereby the company agrees to incur qualifying expenditures and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors. The Company has accounted for the issuance of flow-through shares using the deferral method in accordance with EIC No. 146 under Canadian GAAP. At the time of issue, the funds received are recorded as share capital and upon renunciation to the shareholders, the Company reduces share capital and records a temporary future income tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. In instances where the Company has sufficient available tax loss carryforwards or other deductible temporary differences available to offset the renounced tax deduction, the realization of the deductible temporary differences is credited to income in the period of renunciation. As at December 31, 2005, the Company renounced $1,727,600 in expenses and recorded, under Canadian GAAP, an income tax recovery of $589,457.

     

For US GAAP, the proceeds of the sale of flow-through shares should be allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits. The allocation is calculated based on the difference between the quoted market value of the Company’s shares and the proceeds received and a liability is recognized for this difference. The liability is reversed upon renunciation and a deferred tax liability is recognized. The difference between the liability recognized at the time of issuance and the deferred tax liability will be included as income tax expense. As the flow-through units were sold for proceeds equal to the quoted market value of the Company’s common shares, no liability was recognized for all the periods presented.

     

For the purposes of accounting under Canadian GAAP, the Company has presented activities for both restricted and unrestricted cash in the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company reflects the proceeds received from flow-through shares as a cash inflow from financing activities. As the related flow-through proceeds are restricted for Canadian exploration activities, these proceeds are then reflected as a cash outflow and an increase in restricted cash under investing activities, even in periods that such cash is not expended. When eligible exploration expenses are incurred, they are reflected as a cash inflow and a decrease in restricted cash under investing activities.

e)

Comprehensive Income (loss)

     

US GAAP requires the Company to present comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss), its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income comprises net income (loss) and all charges to shareholders’ equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Net loss and comprehensive loss per US GAAP are the same.

     

The impact of the above on the financial statements is as follows:

New Accounting Pronouncements

     
 

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in its financial statements. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. For public entities that do not file as a small business issuer, SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for annual reporting periods of the registrant’s first fiscal year beginning on or after December 31, 2005.

     
 

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. Among other things, SFAS No. 155 permits the election of fair value remeasurement for certain hybrid financial instruments that would otherwise require bifurcation under Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. These hybrid financial instruments would include both assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 155 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.

     
 

The Company has not yet determined the effect of future implementation of these new standards on its financial statements.

SUTCLIFFE RESOURCES ENTERS INTO $15,000,000 EQUITY OFFERING

November 24, 2006

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada:

Sutcliffe Resources Ltd. ("SR or the Company") (SR TSX-V), is pleased to announce that it has engaged Kingsdale Capital Markets Inc. (the "Agent") of Toronto, Ontario to act as agent to sell on a best efforts basis, by way of private placement, up to 15,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.00 per share for total gross proceeds of up to $15,000,000. It is anticipated that closing of the private placement will occur on or about December 4, 2006. Completion of the private placement is subject to certain conditions including the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The common shares of the Company issuable, pursuant to the private placement, will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering to acquire a 51% interest in Ozherelie and Ykanskoye mineral projects, located in the Irkutsk Oblast region of East Siberia, Russia, and to finance the exploration on the company’s two wholly-owned gold projects, Elvenie and Tumannoye in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug located in the Russian Far East. Any additional net proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Robert Maddigan, Director of Sutcliffe Resources, commented, "This Offering will allow us to substantially accelerate the pace of development at our four gold projects in the Russian Federation".

The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.
