SUTCLIFFE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES LATE FILING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 3, 2007

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: Sutcliffe Resources Ltd. ("Sutcliffe” or the “Company") (SR – TSX-V), is announcing today that, as a result of increased time needed to complete its annual consolidated financial statements and related audit, there will be a delay in the filing of the annual consolidated financial statements and management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the Company's financial year ended December 31, 2006 as required by National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”).

The delay is caused by procedures required to finalize the consolidation of the Company's assets with Russian assets acquired in 2006 and its effect on the consolidated financial statements and MD&A. The Company is working with its auditors to complete the audit of its annual consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2006 as expeditiously as possible. Management of the Company expects this to be completed by May 18, 2007.

Pending the filing of its annual audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A, the Company intends to satisfy the alternative information guidelines recommended by Ontario Securities Commission Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 57-301. If the annual audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A are not filed by June 30, 2007, applicable securities commissions or regulators may impose a cease trade order. A cease trade order may be imposed sooner if the Company fails to satisfy the alternative information guidelines.

The Company will request from applicable securities commissions or regulators that a management cease trade order related to the Company's common shares be imposed against some or all of the persons who have been directors, officers or insiders of the Company instead of against all securities of the Company. Such an order would not generally affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade the securities of the Company.

SUTCLIFFE RESOURCES DEFAULT STATUS REPORT

May 17, 2007

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: Sutcliffe Resources Ltd. ("Sutcliffe” or the “Company") (SR – TSX-V), is announcing today that it is making progress towards the completion of its annual consolidated financial statements and related audit for the Company's financial year ended December 31, 2006. However, due to the nature of the procedures required to finalize the consolidation of the Company's assets with Russian assets acquired in 2006, the completion of such financial statements and related audit will require additional time and, therefore, the Company does not expect this to be completed by May 18, 2007, as initially anticipated.

The Company continues to work with its auditors to complete the audit of such financial statements as expeditiously as possible and anticipates this to be completed by June 1, 2007.

Management cease trade orders were issued by applicable securities commissions or regulators pursuant to the Company's application for the same, as described in the Company's new release dated May 3, 2007. Such cease trade orders are imposed against directors, officers and insiders of the Company. Such orders do not generally affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade the securities of the Company.

Pending the filing of its annual audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A, the Company intends to satisfy the alternative information guidelines recommended by Ontario Securities Commission Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 57-301 ("CSA Staff Notice 57-301"), including the provisions of Appendix B (Default Status Reports) of CSA Staff Notice 57-301. If the annual audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A are not filed by June 30, 2007, applicable securities commissions or regulators may impose a cease trade order. A cease trade order may be imposed sooner if the Company fails to file its Default Status Reports on time.

The Company is not subject to any insolvency proceeding and there is no material change in the information contained in the Company's press release dated May 3, 2007 or its Notice of Default filed with applicable securities commissions or regulators other than as disclosed herein, and there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

SUTCLIFFE RESOURCES LTD.

Information Circular - Proxy Statement
for the Annual and Special Meeting to be held on June 8, 2007

Dated: May 3, 2007

PROXIES

Solicitation of Proxies

          This information circular-proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at Sutcliffe Resources Ltd’s (“our”, “we”, the “Corporation” or “Sutcliffe”) annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on Friday, June 8, 2007 in the Board Room, 2nd Floor, at 888 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, and at any adjournment thereof. Forms of proxy must be addressed to and reach our President, c/o Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 510 Burrard Street, 2nd Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9, not less than 24 hours before the time for holding the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on May 3, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the meeting, unless that shareholder has transferred any shares subsequent to that date and the transferee shareholder, not later than 10 days before the meeting, establishes ownership of the shares and demands that the transferee’s name be included on the list of shareholders.

          The form appointing a proxy must be in writing and must be executed by you or your attorney authorized in writing or, if you are a corporation, under your corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation.

          The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are our officers or directors. As a shareholder you have the right to appoint a person, who need not be a shareholder, to represent you at the meeting. To exercise this right you should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided on the form of proxy and strike out the other names or submit another appropriate proxy.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares

          The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to you if you do not hold your common shares in your own name. Only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on our records as the registered holders of common shares can be recognized and acted upon at the meeting. If common shares are listed in your account statement provided by your broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in your name on our records. Such common shares will likely be registered under the name of your broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co., the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominees for many Canadian brokerage firms. Common shares held by your broker or their nominee can only be voted upon your instructions. Without specific instructions, your broker or their nominee is prohibited from voting your shares.

          Applicable regulatory policy requires your broker to seek voting instructions from you in advance of the meeting. Every broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which you should carefully follow in order to ensure that your shares are voted at the meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied by your broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on your behalf. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("BFS"). BFS mails a scannable voting instruction form in lieu of the form of proxy. You are asked to complete and return the voting instruction form to them by mail or facsimile. Alternately, you can call their toll-free telephone number to vote your shares. They then tabulate the results of all instructions received and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the meeting. If you receive a voting instruction form from BFS it cannot be used as a proxy to vote shares directly at the meeting as the proxy must be returned to BFS well in advance of the meeting in order to have the shares voted.


2

Revocability of Proxy

          You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to a vote. If you or the person you give your proxy attends personally at the meeting you or such person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by you or your attorney authorized in writing or, if you are a corporation, under your corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation. To be effective the instrument in writing must be deposited either at our head office at any time up to and including the last business day before the day of the meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the chairman of the meeting on the day of the meeting, or any adjournment thereof.

Persons Making the Solicitation

          This solicitation is made on behalf of our management. We will bear the costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the form of proxy, notice of annual and special meeting and this information circular - proxy statement. In addition to mailing forms of proxy, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, or by other means of communication, by our directors, officers and employees who will not be remunerated therefor.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxy

          The common shares represented by proxy in favour of management nominees will be voted on any poll at the meeting. Where you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon the shares will be voted on any poll in accordance with the specification so made. If you do not provide instructions your shares will be voted in favour of the matters to be acted upon as set out in the form of proxy. The persons appointed under the form of proxy which we have furnished are conferred with discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations of those matters specified in the form of proxy and notice of annual and special meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly be brought before the meeting or any adjournment thereof. At the time of printing this information circular - proxy statement, we know of no such amendment, variation or other matter.

Supplemental Mailing List

          Under National Instrument 51-102, adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators, a securityholder who wishes to receive interim financial statements from us must deliver a written request for such material to us, together with a signed statement that the securityholder is the owner of securities (other than debt instruments). As a result, if you wish to receive our interim financial statements, you are encouraged to complete and return the enclosed form in order to be added to our supplemental mailing list.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

          We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without nominal or par value which may be issued for such consideration as may be determined by resolution of the board of directors. As at May 3, 2007, there were 81,840,600 common shares issued and outstanding. As a holder of common shares you are entitled to one vote for each share you own. A quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting is at least a person or persons present in person holding or representing in the aggregate not less than 5% of the common shares entitled to be voted at the meeting.

          To the knowledge of our directors and officers, as at May 3, 2007 no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, 10% or more of the common shares other than as set forth in the table below.

(or such other name as the Board of Directors may determine) and that any director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized to do all such things (including the execution and delivery of all such documents and instruments) as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or advisable to give effect to this resolution (including, without

          The Plan contains terms and conditions substantially the same as those described under "Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans", except that the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan is 16,368,120 common shares (being 20% of those outstanding as at May 3, 2007), an increase of 8,125,705 common shares from the 8,242,415 common shares issuable pursuant to the Plan.

          A copy of the Plan is available for inspection at the meeting and will be sent to any shareholder prior to the meeting upon request.

          Accordingly, at the meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve an ordinary resolution in the following form:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.

the number of common shares in the capital of the Corporation to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan shall be set at 16,368,120, subject to the receipt of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange;

   
2.

the outstanding stock options to purchase common shares of the Corporation remain in effect and are exercisable in accordance with their terms and are deemed to be issued under the terms of the Plan; and

   
3.

any director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed to do such things and to execute and deliver all such instruments, deeds and documents, and any amendments thereto, as may be necessary or advisable in order to give effect to the foregoing resolutions, and to complete all transactions in connection with the implementation of the Plan."

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

          We have adopted the Plan for our officers, directors, employees and consultants. The Plan permits the granting of options to purchase 16,368,120 common shares (being 20% of those outstanding as at May 3, 2007). We are seeking shareholder approval to increase the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan. See “Approval of Increase in Common Shares Reserved for Issuance Under the Share Option Plan” above. The board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) believes that stock options provide an effective tool for the Corporation to attract and retain key personnel in the face of competition from much larger companies, without having to sharply increase salary levels. The Plan also provides that:

  (a)

any options granted pursuant to the Plan shall expire not later than five years after the date of grant;

     
  (b)

any options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be non-assignable and non-transferable;

     
  (c)

the number of common shares issuable pursuant to the Plan to any one person in any 12 month period shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding common shares;

     
  (d)

the number of common shares issuable pursuant to the Plan to any one consultant in any 12 month period may not exceed 2% of the outstanding common shares;

     
  (e)

the number of common shares issuable pursuant to the Plan to persons employed in investor relations activities may not exceed 2% of the outstanding common shares in any 12 month period;

     
  (f)

the Plan provides that options shall terminate on the date the optionee ceases to be an employee, director or officer of, or consultant to, Sutcliffe Resources Ltd., provided that if such termination is as a result of death of the optionee, the optionee's personal representative shall have one year to exercise such options, and further provided that if the optionee has ceased to be an employee, director or officer of, or consultant to, Sutcliffe Resources Ltd. for any other reason, other than for cause, the optionee shall have not in excess of 90 days to exercise the options; and

     
  (g)

unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained, the number of common shares: (i) reserved for issuance to insiders of the Corporation may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares; and (ii) which may be issued to insiders within a one year period may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares.

          The board of directors determines the time during which options shall vest and the method of vesting, subject to the policies of any exchange on which the common shares are trading at the date of grant.

          The Plan is our only equity compensation plan. The following table sets forth information with respect to the options outstanding under the Plan as at May 3, 2007.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR OFFICERS

          Our management is not aware of any indebtedness outstanding by any of our directors, executive officers or any of their associates to us, or any guarantees, support agreements, letters of credit or similar arrangements provided by us to any such persons, at any time since the commencement of our last completed financial year.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Effective June 30, 2005, National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) and National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines (“NP 58-201”) were adopted in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and by The Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”). NI 58-101 requires issuers to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. NP 58-201 provides guidance on corporate governance practices.

The directors and management of Sutcliffe believe that sound corporate governance practices are essential to the performance of the Corporation. To this end, governance practices and policies have been developed by Sutcliffe and are reviewed regularly as to their appropriateness. The following sets out the Corporation’s approach to corporate governance and addresses the Corporation’s compliance with NI 58-101.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is elected by the shareholders and oversees the conduct of the business and affairs of the Corporation, supervises its management and uses reasonable efforts to ensure that all major issues affecting the Corporation are given appropriate consideration. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Board delegates to management the authority to manage the Corporation’s day-to-day business, while reserving the ability to review management decisions. The Board discharges its responsibilities directly, through its Committees and through management.

The directors are kept informed of the Corporation’s operations at meetings of the Board and its Committees and through reports and discussions with management. In addition to its primary roles of overseeing corporate performance and providing quality, depth and continuity of management to meet the Corporation’s strategic objectives, the Board, among other things:

  • approves business, strategic, financial and succession plans and monitors the implementation of such plans;

  • approves financial communications to shareholders;

  • oversees the Corporation’s financial reporting and disclosure;


9

  • appoints officers and reviews their performance at least annually;

  • approves items such as dividend payments, the issue, purchase and redemption of securities, acquisition and disposition of capital assets, short and long term objectives and human resource and other plans, executive officer compensation and employee benefits, including profit sharing and incentive award plans; and

  • approves changes in the Bylaws of the Corporation and submits them to shareholders for approval.

In order to carry out its responsibilities, the Board meets on a regularly scheduled basis and otherwise as required by circumstances and on each such occasion, meets for a portion of the time without management present.

The Board’s mandate is disclosed in Schedule A of this Management Proxy Circular.

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.

Lawrence Stephenson is the only non-independent member of the board as he is also an officer of the Corporation. The board facilitates its independent supervision over management by having four independent directors of a total of five members of the board. The independent members of the Board of Directors are Glen Indra, John Tichotsky, Robert Maddigan and Patrick Downey.

Directorships

Laurence Stephenson is a director of Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. Glen Indra and Robert Maddigan are both directors of Starfield Resources Inc. Patrick Downey is a director of Mundoro Mining Inc., Corex Gold Corporation, Magnum Uranium Corp. and Southwestern Resources Ltd.

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation commensurate with their previous experience on the Corporation’s industry and on the responsibilities of directors. Board meetings may also include presentations by the Corporation’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Corporation’s business. Sutcliffe will reimburse some costs for directors taking approved continuing education.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. It deals with conflicts, corporate assets, and confidentiality, compliance with laws and regulations and reporting of illegal or unethical behavior. The board’s mandate includes responsibility for monitoring compliance with the Code. A Sutcliffe director (Glen Indra) has been appointed ombudsman to deal with complaints, as part of a whistleblower policy established by Sutcliffe.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee consists of three members all of whom are considered independent as defined under applicable stock exchange rules and securities legislation. The identity of the Governance Committee’s members can be found in the section “Election of Directors.” The committee is responsible for developing our approach to corporate governance issues and advising the Board in filling vacancies


10

on the Board. In addition, it periodically reviews the size and composition of the Board, the effectiveness of the Board and its individual members and appropriate committee structures, mandates, composition, membership and effectiveness. This Committee takes into account the qualifications of prospective members and takes into account the current Board composition and the anticipated skills required to round out the capabilities of the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s Charter is attached in Schedule B to this Management Proxy Circular.

Compensation

The Compensation Committee consists of three directors, all of whom are considered independent as defined under applicable stock exchange rules and securities legislation. The identity of the Compensation Committee’s members can be found in the section “Election of Directors.” The Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the adequacy and form of the compensation for independent directors to ensure that such compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved, without compromising a Director’s independence. The Committee regularly reviews the compensation practices of comparable companies with a view to align the Corporation’s independent directors’ compensation with a comparator group median.

The committee ensures that we have high calibre executive management in place and a total compensation plan that is competitive, motivating and rewarding for participants. The Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to our Board regarding the appointment of our executive officers, and the establishment of, and any material changes to, executive compensation programs, including that of the Chief Executive Officer. This committee also reviews the Chief Executive Officer's goals and objectives at the start of each year and provides an appraisal of the Chief Executive Officer's performance for the most recently completed year. The committee approves and reports to the Board on management succession plans. It is also responsible for overseeing our employee compensation and benefits plans. The Compensation Committee’s Charter is attached in Schedule C to this Management Proxy Circular.

Assessments

The Chairman, supported by the Governance Committee, is mandated to review the contribution of Board members on an annual basis and to monitor the quality of the relationship between management and the Board in order to recommend ways to improve that relationship.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee’s Charter

The Charter of the Corporation’s Audit Committee is attached to this Circular as Schedule D.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is composed of Glen Indra, John Tichotsky, and Robert Maddigan. The majority of which are independent and financially literate, as defined under MI 52-110. Mr. Indra holds a B. Comm. Degree and has many years of experience in financial analysis. Mr. Maddigan is a Professional Engineer and has many years experience in management. John Tichotsky holds a Masters and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Economics and has worked extensively within the academic community.

Audit Committee Oversight

At no time since the commencement of the Corporation’s most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the Board of Directors.


11

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

At no time since the commencement of the Corporation’s most recently completed financial year has the Corporation relied on the exemption in section 2.4 of MI 52-110 (de minimis non-audit services) or an exemption from MI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of MI 52-110.

Pre-Approval of Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee shall review and pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided to the Corporation by its external auditor.

External Auditor Service Fees

The Audit Committee has reviewed the nature and amount of non-audited services provided by BDO Dunwoody LLP, Chartered Accountants ("BDO"), to the Corporation to ensure auditor independence. Fees incurred with BDO for audit and non-audit services in the last two fiscal years for audit fees are outlined in the following table:

    Fees Paid to Auditor in Year   Fees Paid to Auditor in Year
Nature of Services   Ended December 31, 2006   Ended December 31, 2005
Audit Fees (1)   $140,000            $60,000

Tax Fees (3)   nil      5,000

Total   $140,000            $65,000

Notes:

SUTCLIFFE RESOURCES DEFAULT STATUS REPORT

May 17, 2007

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: Sutcliffe Resources Ltd. ("Sutcliffe” or the “Company") (SR – TSX-V), is announcing today that it is making progress towards the completion of its annual consolidated financial statements and related audit for the Company's financial year ended December 31, 2006. However, due to the nature of the procedures required to finalize the consolidation of the Company's assets with Russian assets acquired in 2006, the completion of such financial statements and related audit will require additional time and, therefore, the Company does not expect this to be completed by May 18, 2007, as initially anticipated.

The Company continues to work with its auditors to complete the audit of such financial statements as expeditiously as possible and anticipates this to be completed by June 1, 2007.

Management cease trade orders were issued by applicable securities commissions or regulators pursuant to the Company's application for the same, as described in the Company's new release dated May 3, 2007. Such cease trade orders are imposed against directors, officers and insiders of the Company. Such orders do not generally affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade the securities of the Company.

Pending the filing of its annual audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A, the Company intends to satisfy the alternative information guidelines recommended by Ontario Securities Commission Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 57-301 ("CSA Staff Notice 57-301"), including the provisions of Appendix B (Default Status Reports) of CSA Staff Notice 57-301. If the annual audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A are not filed by June 30, 2007, applicable securities commissions or regulators may impose a cease trade order. A cease trade order may be imposed sooner if the Company fails to file its Default Status Reports on time.

The Company is not subject to any insolvency proceeding and there is no material change in the information contained in the Company's press release dated May 3, 2007 or its Notice of Default filed with applicable securities commissions or regulators other than as disclosed herein, and there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
