INFORMATION CIRCULAR AND PROXY STATEMENT
(This information is given as of January 20, 2009)
MANAGEMENT SOLICITATION
This information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the management of BCM RESOURCES CORPORATION (the Company) in connection with an Annual General Meeting (the Meeting) of the shareholders to be held on February 23rd, 2009. The solicitation will be by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not reimburse shareholders, nominees or agents for the cost incurred in obtaining from their principal authorization to execute forms of proxy. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. Advance notice of the Meeting was filed on SEDAR on January 9, 2009
VOTING OF PROXIES
A SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO REPRESENT HIM AT THE MEETING OTHER THAN THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY, TO EXERCISE THIS RIGHT THE SHAREHOLDER MAY INSERT THE NAME OF THE DESIRED PERSON IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE PROXY AND STRIKE OUT THE OTHER NAMES, OR MAY SUBMIT ANOTHER PROXY.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED ON ANY POLL (SUBJECT TO ANY RESTRICTIONS THEY MAY CONTAIN) IN FAVOUR OF THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY.
IF YOUR COMMON SHARES ARE HELD IN PHYSICAL FORM (I.E. PAPER FORM) AND ARE REGISTERED IN YOUR NAME, THEN YOU ARE A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER. HOWEVER, IF, LIKE MOST SHAREHOLDERS, YOU KEEP YOUR COMMON SHARES IN A BROKERAGE ACCOUNT, THEN YOU ARE A BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDER. THE MANNER FOR VOTING IS DIFFERENT FOR REGISTERED AND BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS. THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BY ALL SHAREHOLDERS.
VOTING BY PROXYHOLDERS
The persons named as Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:
(a)
each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors;
(b)
any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and
(c)
any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.
In respect of the matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter.
2
REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER
Registered shareholders may wish to vote by Proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a Proxy may do so by:
(a)
completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to the Corporations transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services by fax within North America at 1-866-249-7775, outside North America at (416) 263-9524, or by mail or hand delivery at 2nd floor 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 3B9;
(b)
using a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to a toll free number at 1-888-835-8683 and following the instructions on the voice response system by providing the Holder ID and Holder Code located beside your name on the Proxy form on the lower left hand side. If the Holder ID and Holder Code are not on the Proxy, it will be on the back of the flyer enclosed with this material. Instructions are then conveyed by use of the touchtone selections over the telephone; or
(c)
using the internet through the website of the Corporations transfer agent at www.computershare.com/proxy. Registered shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the Holder ID and Holder Code and the proxy access number;
in all cases ensuring that the proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the Proxy is to be used.
NOTICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES
The following information is of significant importance to shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by registered shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares).
If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the shareholders name on the records of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the shareholders broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).
Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders meetings. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.
There are two kinds of Beneficial owners - those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called OBOs for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called NOBOs for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).
The Corporation is taking advantage of the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 that permit it to directly deliver proxy-related materials to its NOBOs. As a result NOBOs can expect to receive a scannable Voting Instruction Form (VIF) from our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. "Computershare". These VIFs are to be completed and returned to Computershare in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, Computershare provides both telephone voting and internet voting as described on the VIF itself which contain complete instructions. Computershare will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the shares represented by the VIFs they receive."
These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities of the Corporation. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Corporation or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf.
3
By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in your request for voting instructions.
Beneficial Shareholders who are OBOs should follow the instructions of their intermediary carefully to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.
The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the proxy provided to registered shareholders by the Corporation. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote on your behalf. Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge) in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge mails a VIF in lieu of a proxy provided by the Corporation. The VIF will name the same persons as the Corporations Proxy to represent you at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Corporation), other than the persons designated in the VIF, to represent you at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facs imile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the internet, in accordance with Broadridges instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, you cannot use it to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting - the VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with its instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.
Although as a Beneficial Shareholder you may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of your broker, you, or a person designated by you, may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for your broker and vote your Common Shares in that capacity. If you wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote your Common Shares as proxyholder for your broker, or have a person designated by you do so, you should enter your own name, or the name of the person you wish to designate, in the blank space on the voting instruction form provided to you and return the same to your broker in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker, well in advance of the Meeting.
Alternatively, you can request in writing that your broker send you a legal proxy which would enable you, or a person designated by you, to attend at the Meeting and vote your Common Shares.
REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors of the Company. Any shareholder returning the enclosed form of proxy may revoke the same at any time insofar as it has not been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation and delivered either to the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and upon any such deposits the proxy is revoked.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
Other than as set forth in this Information Circular, no director or executive officer of the Corporation, or any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year end of the Corporation, nor any nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting.
VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value of which 12,175,511 shares are issued and outstanding. Only holders of common shares are entitled to vote at the Meeting and holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each common share held. Holders of common shares of record on January 19, 2009 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. To the knowledge of the directors of the Company, no persons own shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to shares of the Company.
4
VOTING
Under the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, a simple majority of the voting shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, provided a quorum is present, is required to pass an ordinary resolution; a two-thirds majority of the voting shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, is required to pass a special resolution. The persons named in the accompanying proxy form will be voting in favor of all of the resolutions presented at the Meeting, ordinary and special, unless otherwise directed.
FIX THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS AT FOUR
The shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution setting the number of directors of the Company at four or such increase as authorized by the Articles of the Company.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The directors of the Company are elected at each Annual General Meeting and hold offices until the next Annual General Meeting or until their successors are appointed. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the proxy will be voted for the nominees herein listed, all of whom are presently members of the Board of Directors.

He has gained financial literacy through his many years of business experience in risk management, treasury management and corporate banking. Mr. Lindsay Bottomer has many years of experience as a geologist, in management of mineral exploration companies and as a director of other public companies.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
Corporate governance relates to the activities of the board of directors (the "Board"), the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day-to-day management of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. The Board is of the view that the Company's general approach to corporate governance, summarized below, is appropriate and substantially consistent with objectives reflected in the guidelines for improved corporate governance in Canada adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "National Guidelines").
Board of Directors
Structure and Compensation
The Board is currently composed of four directors.
The National Guidelines suggest that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "unrelated" directors. An "unrelated" director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding. In addition, where a company has a significant shareholder, the National Guidelines suggest that the board of directors should include a number of directors who do not have interests in either the Company or the significant shareholder. Of the proposed nominees, one is considered by the Board to be "unrelated" within the meaning of th e TSX.V Guidelines (being Mr. Lindsay Bottomer) and three are "insiders" or management directors and accordingly considered to be "related" (being Mr. Dale McClanaghan, Mr. Scott Steeds and Mr. Allan Anderson). In assessing the TSX.V Guidelines and making the foregoing determinations, the circumstances of each director have been examined in relation to a number of factors.
Mandate of the Board
The mandate of the Board is to manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and to act with a view to the best interests of the Company. In doing so, the board oversees the management of the Company's affairs directly and through its committees. In fulfilling its mandate, the Board, among other matters, is responsible depending on the particular circumstances of the Company for reviewing and approving the Company's overall business strategies and its annual business plan, reviewing and approving the annual corporate budget and forecast, reviewing and approving significant capital investments outside the approved budget; reviewing major strategic initiatives to ensure that the Company's proposed actions accord with shareholder objectives; reviewing succession planning; assessing management's performance against approved business plans and industry standards; reviewing and approving the reports and other disclosure issued to shareholders; ensuring the effective operation of the Board; and safeguarding shareholders' equity interests through the optimum utilization of the Company's capital resources.
9
Meetings of the Board
The Board meets quarterly to review, among other things, the performance of the Company. Results are compared and measured against a previously established plan and performance in prior years. The Board also holds a meeting each year to review and assess the Company's financial budget and business plan for the ensuing year and its overall strategic objectives. This process establishes, among other things, benchmarks against which the Board may measure the performance of management. Other meetings of the Board are called to deal with special matters as circumstances require.
Nomination and Assessment
The Board determines new nominees to the Board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members. The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions.
Compensation
The directors decide as a Board the compensation for the Company's directors and CEO, based on industry standards and the Company's financial situation. The directors currently do not receive any remuneration for their acting in such capacity.
Other Directorships
The following directors are also currently directors of other reporting issuers, other than the Company:
Director | Reporting Issuer |
Lindsay Bottomer | Entrée Gold Inc. Yale Resources Ltd. Rochester Resources Ltd Armadillo Resources Ltd. Richfield Ventures Corp. Astorius Resources Ltd. Zenith Industries Corp. |
Other Matters
The Board has not adopted any formal steps to orient new board members. The Board's continuing education is typically derived from correspondence with the Corporation's legal counsel to remain up to date with developments in relevant corporate and securities' law matters. The Board has not adopted guidelines or attempted to quantify or stipulate steps to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct; but does promote ethical business conduct through the nomination of board members it considers ethical, through avoiding or minimizing conflicts of interest, and by having a sufficient number of its board members independent of corporate matters.
The Board has not established any committees other than its audit committee. All decisions are made by full board of director meetings or consent resolutions.
Neither the Corporation nor the Board has determined formal means or methods to regularly assess the Board, its committees or the individual directors with respect to their effectiveness and contributions. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of an individual director is informally monitored by the other Board members, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.
10
The Company feels its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its relatively small size and limited operations. The Company's method of corporate governance allows for the Company to operate efficiently, with simple checks and balances that control and monitor management and corporate functions without excessive administrative burden.
PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company presently has in place a "rolling" stock option plan (the "Plan") whereby the Company is authorized to grant stock options of up to 10% of its issued and outstanding shares, from time to time. The TSX Venture Exchange requires listed companies that have "rolling" stock option plans in place to receive shareholder approval to such plan on a yearly basis at the Company's annual general meeting. As such, shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit to approve a resolution ratifying and approving the Company's existing Plan.
ACTS AND DEEDS SINCE THE LAST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The shareholders will be asked to approve, by way of an ordinary resolution, the acts and deeds undertaken by the directors of the Company since the last Annual General Meeting of the Company. The persons named in the accompanying proxy form will vote for this resolution unless otherwise directed.
OTHER MATTERS
Management is not, at this time, aware of any matter to be presented at the meeting other than the items set forth in the Notice. If other matters are properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy on such matters in accordance with their judgment unless their authority is with held.

1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
The Company was incorporated on February 15, 2005 under the Canada Business Corporations Act as 716576 B.C. Ltd. and changed its name to BC Moly Ltd. on June 15, 2005 and then to BCM Resources Corporation on February 16, 2006. The Company business activity is the exploration of mineral rights located in British Columbia, Canada. The Company has incurred losses since inception and at November 30, 2008 has an accumulated operating deficit of $971,963 (2008-$924,230). The Company does not generate cash flows from operations to fund its exploration activities and as a result has relied principally upon the issuance of equity securities for financing. The Company intends to continue relying upon the issuance of these securities to finance its operations and exploration activities to the extent such instruments are issuable under terms acceptable to the Company. The Companys financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, whic h assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. If future financing is unavailable, the Company may not be able to meet its ongoing obligations, in which case the realizable values of its assets may decline materially from current estimates.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Generally accepted accounting principles
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP) and include the assets, liabilities and operations of the Company. These interim financial statements do not contain all the information required by general accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2008. The accounting policies and methods of application used in the preparation of these interim unaudited financial statements are consistent with those used in the Companys most recent audited financial statements except for the changes in accounting policies disclosed in note 3.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Unproven mineral rights
The cost of unproven mineral rights and their related direct exploration costs are deferred until the properties are placed into production, sold or abandoned. These deferred costs will be amortized on the unit-of-production basis over the estimated useful life of the properties following the commencement of production, or written-off if the properties are sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Unproven mineral rights (continued)
Cost includes any cash consideration and the fair market value of any shares issued on the acquisition of mineral right interests. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts when the payments are made. The recorded amounts of property acquisition costs and their related deferred exploration costs represent actual expenditures incurred and are not intended to reflect present or future values.
The Company reviews capitalized costs on its mineral rights on a periodic basis and will recognize impairment in value based upon current exploration results and upon managements assessment of the future probability of profitable revenues from the property or from the sale of the property. Managements assessment of the propertys estimated current fair market value is also based upon a review of other property transactions that have occurred in the same geographic area as that of the property under review.
Administrative costs are expensed as incurred.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of current assets and current liabilities the fair values of which approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Share capital
Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is recorded at their fair market value based on their trading price on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date the agreement to issue the shares was entered into as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Costs incurred to issue shares are deducted from share capital.
Basis of amortization
Equipment is recorded and amortized on a declining-balance basis at an annual rate of 45% for computer equipment, 100% for software and 20% for office furniture.
Flow-through shares
The Company may issue securities referred to as flow-through shares, whereby the investor may claim the tax deductions arising from the expenditure of the proceeds. When resource expenditures are renounced to the investors and the Company has reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be completed, future income tax liabilities are recognized (renounced expenditures multiplied by the effective corporate tax rate), and share capital is reduced. Previously unrecognized tax assets may then offset or eliminate the liability recorded.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Stock-based compensation
The Company records compensation expense for stock options granted at the time of their vesting using the fair value method which requires that all stock option-based awards made to consultants and employees be recognized in these financial statements.
Consideration received on the exercise of stock options and compensation options and warrants is recorded as share capital. The related contributed surplus originally recognized when the options were granted, is transferred to share capital.
Future income taxes
The Company accounts for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled. When the future realization of income tax assets does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of the potential future benefit is taken and no net asset is recognized. Such an allowance has been applied to all potential income tax assets of the Company
Environmental expenditures
The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for site restoration costs. The overall future impact of such regulations is neither determinable nor predicable at the present time. The Companys policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass environmental standards set by relevant legislation by the application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.
Expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their expected future economic benefit. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs will be recognized when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, and will be charged against operations over the estimated remaining life of the related business operations, net of expected recoveries.
Loss per common share
Loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. The company follows the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the current year. Under this method, the weighted average number of common shares included the potential net issuance of common share of in-the-money options and warrants assuming the proceeds are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period, if dilutive. The effect of potential issuances of shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive if a loss is reported and, therefore basic and diluted loss per share is same for the previous years.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Accounting policies not yet adopted
The following pronouncements recently issued by the CICA will likely impact the Companys future accounting policies:
(i) | CICA Handbook Section 1535 Capital Disclosures | |
This standard requires disclosure of an entitys objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital and whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements and, if it has not complied, the consequences of such non- compliance. This standard is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this standard. | ||
(ii) | Financial Instruments Disclosure (Section 3862) and Presentation (Section 3863) | |
These standards replace CICA 3861, Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation. They increase the disclosures currently required, which will enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for an entitys financial position and performance, including disclosures about fair value. In addition, disclosure is required of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The quantitative disclosures must provide information about the extent to which the entity is exposed to risk, based on information provided internally to the entitys key management personnel. This standard is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The Company expects that its disclosur es will be expanded to incorporate the additional requirements. | ||
(iii) | International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) | |
In February 2008 the Canadian Accounting Standards Board announced 2011 as the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadas own generally accepted accounting principles. The specific implementation is set for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended August 31, 2011. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. | ||

3. | CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Effective August 1, 2007, the Company prospectively adopted the following new accounting standards and related amendments to other standards on financial instruments issued by the CICA. Accordingly, prior periods have not been restated.
Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement, Section 3855 and Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation, Section 3861
These standards require all financial instruments to be classified into one of the following five categories: held for trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments within its scope, including derivatives, are to be included on the Companys balance sheet and measured either at fair value or, in certain circumstances when fair value may not be considered most relevant, at cost or amortized cost. Depending on the classification, changes in fair value are to be recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.
All held-for-trading and available-for-sale financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. All other financial instruments will be recorded at cost or amortized cost, subject to impairment reviews. Transaction costs incurred to acquire held-for-trading financial instruments are recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Loss. Transaction costs incurred to acquire all other financial instruments are included in the underlying balance.
The Companys financial instruments include cash, term deposit, receivables, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as held-for-trading. All other financial instruments are either loans and receivables, or other financial liabilities and are recorded at cost. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short term nature and capacity of prompt liquidation. Therefore, the adoption of Section 3855 and 3861 had no impact on the Companys financial statements.
Hedges, Section 3865
This standard is applicable when a company chooses to designate a hedging relationship for accounting purposes. The Company currently does not have any hedges.
Comprehensive Income, Section 1530
This standard requires the presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and its components.
Comprehensive income is the change in net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than shareholders and includes items such as unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments. Accumulated other comprehensive income includes the holding gains and losses from available-for-sale securities which are not included in net income (loss) until realized. The adoption of Section 1530 had no material impact on the Companys financial statements.

8. | SHARE CAPITAL (continued) |
Option pricing models require the input of highly-subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock and the expected life of the option. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore it is managements view that the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Companys stock option grants and warrant issuances.

BCM RESOURCES CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2008
The following is a discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and operating results of BCM Resources Corporation (the Company) for the three months ended November 30, 2008. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2008. The unaudited interim financial statements are prepared under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and include the operating results of the Company and its subsidiaries. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all financial information is presented in Canadian dollars.
OVERVIEW
The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral resource properties. At present, the Company is in the exploration stage and has interests in resource properties located in the Skeena and Omineca Mining Divisions in British Columbia. The Company has not yet had any revenue from the exploration activities on its properties, nor has the Company yet found that development activity is warranted on any of its properties. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore.
The Company has an option to acquire 10 mineral claims pursuant to an agreement dated June 15, 2005 and amended by agreement dated May 29, 2006 with Nicholas Carter (Carter Property Agreement). As consideration the Company agreed to deliver to Carter the payments, shares and royalties as set out in the financial statements.
Subsequently the company acquired additional mineral claims adjacent to existing properties and more than doubled its holdings in the area of the Shan property. Additional mineral claims with an area of 11,300 acres, adjacent to its Shan Molybdenum discovery, were staked and increased the total area of BCMs 100% owned claims in the Shan region to 18,790 acres. The Shan properties are referred to as Shan South, Shan North and the McRae block.
ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company is concentrating its efforts in 2008 on exploration for molybdenum in the Terrace area of northern British Columbia. The Shan Property 24 kilometres north east of Terrace has received substantial attention in the current fiscal year.
Exploration during the calendar year 2008 at Shan South has expanded the area of known molybdenum mineralization surrounding the Las Margaritas molybdenum discovery zone to a size of approximately 4 by 2 kilometres. Within this region, five zones of anomalous molybdenum values, all of similar size and geological character to the Las Margaritas discovery zone were outlined. The Las Margaritas molybdenum mineralization is mainly hosted by granitic rocks and is partially concealed beneath volcanic cover.
Three geochemical exploration techniques were employed during the past field season at Shan South :
Soil samples: Soil samples were collected at intervals of about 35 m along east-west lines spaced 100 m or less apart with the objective of detecting areas of minor quartz veining in volcanic cover rocks, similar to those observed in drill holes in the southern part of the Las Margaritas zone. Soils were not collected in one area (Area 1) due to lack of adequate soil development.
Moss Mat samples: The collection of moss mat samples along drainages, undertaken in part due to scarcity of traditional stream sediments, turned out to be an optimal sample medium for detecting anomalous molybdenum values generated by groundwater circulating along structural trends that also control the location of the streams. Samples were ashed and subsequently sieved to -100 mesh. Anomalous values are present in both ashed plant material and the very fine stream sediments trapped in the moss mats.
Rock Samples: Altered rocks and quartz veining in bedrock and subcrop were collected from stream drainages.
These results obtained from the three sample media were combined with information generated from the 3-D modeling of the aeromagnetic survey flown in 2007. Areas of low magnetic susceptibility present within the anomalous areas outlined by the geochemical survey may indicate magnetite destructive alteration associated with molybdenum mineralization.
Mineralized zones outlined, (see website www.bcmresources.com for reference map):
Area 1: This 1200 x 700 m area, situated 500 m west of the Las Margaritas zone, may represent the southern portion of the Las Margaritas zone offset by post-mineral faulting. Abundant quartz veining in volcanic rock was observed on the ridge top, and analytical results of samples collected from this area ranged from 46 ppm Mo in outcrop to 362 ppm in a float sample. On the north face of the ridge, the underlying granodiorite is exposed, and while mainly of fresh appearance, sericitic alteration along fractures was found to contain molybdenum values of up to 123 ppm Mo. Exposures along the major northwest-trending creek draining the ridge returned values of 71 and 83 ppm Mo. Several vertical drill holes near the ridge-top area are recommended to test for an underlying zone of mineralization.
Area 2: This 600 x 400 m area is 200 m north-northwest of the Las Margaritas zone and may represent the western extension of the Triangle Zone. Soil samples were collected only from the flat top of the ridge, and results ranged up to 202 ppm Mo. Moss mat samples collected along structurally controlled drainages were found to contain highly anomalous Mo values with results ranging up to 658 ppm including several samples of around 100 ppm. This zone of anomalous Mo values is thought to dip gently to moderately northwards and may be near surface along its southern margin based on the analysis of results of stream sediments and soils data. It is recommended that this zone be tested by shallow vertical drill holes.
Area 3: This 550 x 300 m area, situated 700 m east-northeast of the Las Margaritas zone, may represent the eastern extension of the Triangle Zone. Soil sample results were as high as 203 ppm Mo and rock samples collected along drainages returned Mo values ranging up to 59 ppm in bedrock samples and 3280 ppm in a grab sample of a quartz-molybdenite vein in subcrop. Moss mat samples ranged up to 66 ppm Mo. This zone is thought to dip gently to moderately northwards. Several shallow vertical drill holes are recommended to test the area.
Area 4: This 800 x 500 m area is 1500 m east of the Las Margaritas zone and is coincident with an area of anomalous Mo values indicated by earlier stream sediment surveys. Soil sample results ranged up to 31 ppm Mo, while background values away from the zone were generally in the 1-3 ppm range. Work to date only tested the northern part of the zone but stream sediment results from the 1975 survey indicate values of up to 65 ppm Mo in drainages in the central part of the anomalous area. One rock sample of an altered granodiorite dyke returned 34 ppm Mo. This area will be subjected to additional prospecting in the 2009 field season.
2
Area 5: This 800 x 500 m area is located 200 m south-southeast of the Las Margaritas zone and is coincident with anomalous Mo values from earlier stream sediment surveys. Soil samples range up to 75 ppm Mo while altered volcanic rocks contained Mo values of up to a few hundred ppm. A float/subcrop sample of altered rock containing quartz veining returned 1206 ppm Mo. Moss Mat samples for the drainages were all anomalous, ranging from 46 to 701 ppm Mo, with eight of the ten samples above 100 ppm Mo. This area is considered to be highly prospective and will be tested by a series of relatively shallow drill holes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at November 30, 2008 the Company had a working capital surplus of $419,216 ($521,151 surplus at August 31, 2008). The Companys current assets include $27,482 in cash on November 30, 2008 ($46,951 August 31, 2008), $3,252 in GST receivable ($74,174 August 31, 2008), 389,591 in tax credits receivable ($389,591 August 31, 2008), term deposits of $13,141 and $10,237 in prepaid expenses. The Company has no other liquid assets as at November 30, 2008. The Company has total non-current assets of $4,505,311of which $4,488,124 is capitalized exploration expenditures. Accounts payable have increased to $21,578 on November 30, 2008 from $18,366 on August 31, 2008.
In order to maintain operations and cover administrative costs, the Company will need to raise additional financing. In the past the Company has relied on sales of equity securities to meet its cash requirements. There can be no assurance that additional funding from this or other sources will be available in the future to satisfy operational requirements and cash commitments.
