Bridgeport Ventures Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

January 31, 2012 and 2011

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Bridgeport Ventures Inc. (the “Company” or "Bridgeport") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada by Articles of Incorporation dated May 10, 2007. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the mining of precious and base metals. Bridgeport has operations in Latin America, the United States and Canada. The Company is in the process of exploring its exploration properties for mineral resources and has not determined whether the properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The primary office of the Company is located at 36 Toronto St. Suite 1000, Toronto, ON. M5C 2C5.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2012.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. The Company has incurred losses in the current and prior periods, with a net loss of $2,716,858 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and has an accumulated deficit of $11,864,618 to January 31, 2012 (April 30, 2011 -$9,485,653). These circumstances cast doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, accordingly, the ultimate use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its obtaining additional financing and eventually achieving profitable production in the future. The Company is currently evaluating various options in order to address its financing needs. There can be no assurance that the Company's financing activities will continue to be successful or sufficient.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

2.	Significant accounting policies
(a)	Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended April 30, 2011 and the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended July 31, 2011.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the Company's third unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB and have been prepared on the basis of IFRS standards that are expected to be effective or available for early adoption by the Company on April 30, 2012, the Company's first annual reporting date under IFRS. The Company has made certain assumptions about the accounting policies expected to be adopted when the first IFRS annual financial statements are prepared for the year ended April 30, 2012.

2.	Significant accounting policies (continued)
(a)	Statement of compliance (continued)

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2011 and in consideration of the IFRS transition disclosures included in Note 18 to these financial statements and the additional annual disclosures required under IFRS included in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended July 31, 2011.

(b) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB ("International Accounting Standard Board") or the IFRIC ("International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee") that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2010 or later periods. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded from the table below. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

(i) IFRS 9 – Financial instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IASB has proposed to move the effective date of IFRS 9 to January 1, 2015.

(ii) IFRS 10 – Consolidated financial statements (“IFRS 10”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 10 is a new standard which identifies the concept of control as the determining factor in assessing whether an entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. Control is comprised of three elements: power over an investee; exposure to variable returns from an investee; and the ability to use power to affect the reporting entity’s returns. IFRS 10 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier adoption is permitted.

(iii) IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements (“IFRS 11”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 11 is a new standard which focuses on classifying joint arrangements by their rights and obligations rather than their legal form. Entities are classified into two groups: parties having rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of an arrangement, and rights to the net assets of an arrangement. Entities in the former case account for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with the arrangement, whereas entities in the latter case account for the arrangement using the equity method. IFRS 11 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted.

(iv) IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities (“IFRS 12”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 12 is a new standard which provides disclosure requirements for entities reporting interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, special purpose vehicles, and off balance sheet vehicles. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted.

2.	Significant accounting policies (continued)
(b)	New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)

(v) IFRS 13 – Fair value measurement (“IFRS 13”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 13 is a new standard which provides a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement considerations for use across IFRSs. The key points of IFRS 13 are as follows:

• fair value is measured using the price in a principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market;
• financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risks can be measured on the basis of an entity’s net risk exposure;
• disclosures regarding the fair value hierarchy has been moved from IFRS 7 to IFRS 13, and further guidance has been added to the determination of classes of assets and liabilities;
• a quantitative sensitivity analysis must be provided for financial instruments measured at fair value;
• a narrative must be provided discussing the sensitivity of fair value measurements categorised under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to significant unobservable inputs;
• and information must be provided on an entity’s valuation processes for fair value measurements categorized under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted.

(vi) IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements (“IAS 1”) was amended by the IASB in June 2011 in order to align the presentation of items in other comprehensive income with US GAAP standards. Items in other comprehensive income will be required to be presented in two categories: items that will be reclassified into profit or loss and those that will not be reclassified. The flexibility to present a statement of comprehensive income as one statement or two separate statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income remains unchanged. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.

3. Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital with the following objectives:

• to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve the ongoing business objectives including funding of future growth opportunities, and pursuit of accretive acquisitions; and
• to maximize shareholder return through enhancing the share value.

The Company monitors its capital structure and actively makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Company may manage its capital structure by issuing new shares, repurchasing outstanding shares, adjusting capital spending, or disposing of assets. The capital structure is reviewed by management and the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis. As discussed in Note 1, the Company's ability to continue to carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.

The Company manages capital through its financial and operational forecasting processes. The Company reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures, and other investing and financing activities. The forecast is updated based on activities related to its mineral properties. Relevant information is provided to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company’s capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012.

The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution.

4. Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, foreign currency risk and commodity and equity price risk). Financial risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee and Board of Directors. There have been no changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures from the previous period.

(i) Credit risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, high interest savings accounts and certificates of deposit at select Canadian financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Financial assets included in amounts receivable consist of goods and services tax and harmonized sales tax due from the Government of Canada and deposits with service providers. Amounts receivable are in good standing as of January 31, 2012. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to the financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable is remote.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at January 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,223,372 (April 30, 2011 - $22,870,894) to settle current liabilities of $121,782 (April 30, 2011 - $1,046,868). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as liquidity. As discussed on Note 1, the Company’s ability to continually meet its obligations and carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.

(iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices.

(a) Interest rate risk

The Company has cash and cash equivalents and no interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in high interest savings accounts and investment-grade certificates of deposit issued by its Canadian financial institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its Canadian financial institutions. Currently, the Company does not hedge against interest rate risk.

(b) Foreign currency risk

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and purchases are transacted in Canadian and US dollars and Chilean pesos. The Company funds certain operations, exploration and administrative expenses in Chile and the United States on a cash call basis using US dollar currency converted from select bank accounts held in Canada. The Company maintains US dollar bank accounts in Canada, the United Sates and Chile, and Chilean peso bank accounts in Chile. The Company is subject to gains and losses from fluctuations in the US dollar and Chilean peso against the Canadian dollar. The Company had the following significant balances in foreign currencies:

(c) Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, as they relate to gold and copper, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. As the Company's mineral properties are in the exploration stage, the Company does not hedge against commodity price risk. The Company's available-for-sale investment in Gondwana Gold Inc. ("Gondwana") and investment in Orsa Ventures Corp. ("Orsa") are subject to fair value fluctuations arising from changes in the equity and commodity markets.

Sensitivity analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are reasonably possible over a six month period:

(i) Cash equivalents are subject to floating interest rates. As at January 31, 2012, if interest rates had decreased/increased by 1% with all other variables held constant, the loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 would have been approximately $137,000 higher/lower, as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash equivalents.

(iii) Market risk (continued)

Sensitivity analysis (continued)

(ii) The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations of financial instruments that are denominated in US dollars and the Chilean peso related to cash balances, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As at January 31, 2012, a plus or minus 5% change in the foreign exchange rate with all other variables held constant would not have a significant impact on the loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and the reported equity as at January 31, 2012.

(iii) The Company's available-for-sale investments in the common shares of Gondwana and Orsa are subject to fair value fluctuations. As at January 31, 2012, a plus or minus 10% change in the bid price of the common shares of Gondwana and Orsa with all other variables held constant would not have a significant impact on the comprehensive loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and the reported equity as at January 31, 2012.

(a) McCart Township

On November 11, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in two mining claims (the “Claims”) located near McCart Township, Ontario. The Claims are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”). To acquire this interest, the Company is required to:

• Make a cash payment of $5,000 (paid); and
• Issue 150,000 common shares of the Company (issued and valued at $19,500).

Effective July 29, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 150,000 common shares in partial satisfaction of its obligations to acquire 100% interest in the McCart Township Claims. The value of the 150,000 common shares was calculated by applying the unit price of $0.13 pursuant to the initial public offering of the Company.

At anytime after the commencement of commercial production, the Company has the right to purchase 1% of the 2% NSR for $1,000,000.

During the year ended April 30, 2010, the Company acquired three additional mining claims located in the same Township subject to a 1% NSR (50% of which the Company has the right to purchase for $1,000,000), for cash consideration of $nil. Subsequent to the April 30, 2011, these three claims were cancelled.

On August 24, 2010, Bridgeport granted to Gondwana an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in the McCart Property. Gondwana may earn an initial 50% interest in the McCart Property by satisfying the following commitments:

(i) making an initial cash payment to Bridgeport in the amount of $20,000 (received);
(ii) issuing an aggregate of 1,050,000 common shares (400,000 issued) to Bridgeport in tranches over a three year period; and
(iii) incurring an aggregate of $400,000 in exploration expenditures on the McCart Property in tranches over a three year period.

Gondwana may earn an additional 20% interest in the McCart Property (for a total 70% interest) in the event it completes a bankable feasibility study within three years of earning its 50% interest.

On August 24, 2010, Bridgeport received $20,000 cash and 400,000 common shares of Gondwana in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The 400,000 common shares received were valued at $80,000 on August 24, 2010. During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the 400,000 common shares of Gondwana were sold for cash proceeds of $191,182 resulting in a gain on disposal of $111,182.

On August 17, 2011, the Company signed an amending letter agreement (the "Amending Agreement") with Gondwana to extend the time by which the Commitments must be satisfied until February 20, 2012 in exchange for an additional 25,000 Gondwana shares to be issued to Bridgeport.

On February 15, 2012, Gondwana terminated its option on the McCart property. The Company is evaluating its alternatives for the McCart property on a going forward basis.

On October 25, 2011, Bridgeport received the 25,000 common shares of Gondwana in accordance with the terms of the Amending Agreement. The 25,000 common shares received were valued at $10,125 on October 25, 2011 based on the bid price on October 25, 2011. As of January 31, 2012, the bid price of Gondwana was $0.40 resulting in a unrealized loss of $250 which was recorded in other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. At January 31, 2012, the shares of Gondwana were valued at $9,875 using the bid price of the security.

(b) Trillador Property

On July 5, 2010, the Company executed a letter of intent which provides that the Company would enter into an option agreement with an arm's length party to acquire a 100% interest in the Trillador property through its subsidiary, Rio Condor Resources S.A. ("Rio Condor"). Under the terms of the proposed agreement with the property owners, the Company would be required to pay US$1.5 million over five years in order to acquire a 100% interest in the Trillador property. This acquisition was royalty free.

On August 27, 2010, the Trillador letter of intent was modified, whereby US$25,000 was required on signing (paid) as an advance payment of the first installment of the option agreement price. This amendment allowed Rio Condor a 120 business day grace period. As of January 31, 2011 (“Date of Closing”) the option agreement was executed and payment of US$25,000 was made (completing the total amount of the first installment of US$50,000). The option agreement was subsequently finalized. Cash payments in the aggregate of US$1.5 million were due as follows:

		US$
Date of Closing	$	25,000	(paid) (1)
January 17, 2011		25,000	(paid) (1)
January 31, 2012		50,000	(not paid)
January 31, 2013		60,000
January 31, 2014		250,000
January 31, 2015		1,090,000
	$	1,500,000

⁽¹⁾ US$50,000 Canadian equivalent equals $51,795.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the Company decided to terminate the Trillador Property and Tamara Property option agreements and as a result, a total of $1,090,495 of exploration properties and deferred exploration expenditures and related receivables were written off during the nine months ended January 31, 2012.

(c) SOESMI Property

Pursuant to an agreement entered into on December 3, 2009, Rio Condor would have paid US$1,000,000 over three years to acquire a 100% interest in the SOESMI mining concessions, which are contiguous to the concessions comprising the Rosario Property. The SOESMI claim group was subject to a 2% NSR that could be purchased for US$1,000,000. US$75,000 ($79,020) was paid on closing. In addition, in accordance with the payment terms, a further US$50,000 ($52,590) was paid on June 3, 2010. Cash payments in the aggregate of US$1,000,000 were due as follows:

		US$
Date of signing the agreement	$	75,000	(paid)
June 3, 2010		50,000	(paid)

During the year ended April 30, 2011, the Company determined not to make the next option payment due in respect of the SOESMI property, and to allow its rights in respect of such property to lapse. As a result, the Company wrote off all costs associated with this project in the amount of $611,352.

(d) Simonetta Property

Subsequent to Bridgeport’s acquisition of Rio Condor, pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 23, 2010, Rio Condor would have paid US$1,000,000 over four years to acquire a 100% interest in the Simonetta mining concessions, which are contiguous to the concessions comprising the Rosario Property. This acquisition was royalty free. US$30,000 ($30,782) was paid on closing. Cash payments in the aggregate of US$1,000,000 were due as follows:

		US$
Date of signing the agreement	$	30,000	(paid)
July 23, 2010		10,000	(paid)
January 23, 2011		65,000	(not paid)

January 23, 2013		245,000
January 23, 2014		500,000
	$	1,000,000

The Company paid $10,359 (US$10,000) during the year ended April 30, 2011 relating to the Simonetta option agreement. Subsequent to the payment, through a letter and a public deed, both dated on February 7, 2011, Rio Condor provided notice to the owner of the Simonetta property that the payment due January 23, 2011 (US$65,000) and subsequent payments would not be made. As a result, Rio Condor's rights in respect of such property were forfeited and costs of $554,473 associated with the project were written off during the year ended April 30, 2011.

(e) Rosario Project

The Company had an option to pay US$10.4 million over a four year period to acquire a 100% interest in the properties known as the Rosario property (which includes the concessions known as the Rosario, Julia, Eliana I, Eliana II and Eliana III mining concessions) and the Tamara property. The Rosario property is subject to a 2% NSR which may be purchased for US$2 million. Tamara is royalty free. The Company was required to pay a total commission or management fee of US$500,000 over the same four year period. The vendors of Rosario and Eliana I were entitled to excavate a total of 6,000 tons per month from the property until the last payment is made.

The Company had focused its exploration efforts on the Rosario property, and based on the assay results, style of copper mineralization, and discontinuity of the zones, management decided that the property did not have the size potential for the Company to make a significant copper-gold discovery of 100 million tonnes or more. Accordingly, Bridgeport decided to terminate its rights to the Rosario, Eliana I, II and III, and Julia mining concessions, which decision was carried out by not making the November 5, 2010 property payment of US$720,000. As a result, Rio Condor's rights in respect of such properties were forfeited and costs of $3,309,120 associated with the project were written-off during the year ended April 30, 2011.

The Company had retained its rights to the Tamara property. During the year ended April 30, 2011, the Company paid $56,111 (US$50,000) pursuant to the agreement relating to the Tamara property. The Company was entitled to maintain its rights to the Tamara property by making the following cash payments:

(f) Nevada Portfolio

On November 16, 2010, Bridgeport acquired from Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”) a 100% interest in certain mineral properties and a 50% leasehold interest in one property, in Nevada, USA. The properties are subject to a NSR of up to 3%. On November 16, 2010, Bridgeport issued to Fronteer 4.5 million common shares (valued at approximately $5.2 million (see Note 11(b)(ii)) in consideration of the acquisition. In addition to the properties acquired from Fronteer, Bridgeport has staked additional claims adjacent to the properties and intends to continue with its land acquisition effort.

(g) Option Agreement with Orsa Ventures Corp.

On July 19, 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Orsa whereby Orsa can earn a 51% interest in Bridgeport’s Ashby Gold Property in Nevada through phased exploration expenditures, share payments and a cash payment to Bridgeport. Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Orsa has the option (the "First Option") to earn up to a 49% interest in the Ashby Property by:

a.	issuing to Bridgeport or its nominee an aggregate of 100,000 common shares of Orsa within three business days of receipt by Orsa of the approval by the TSX Venture Exchange of the Option Agreement;
b.	incurring an aggregate of $150,000 of exploration expenditures on the Ashby Property within one year of the date of the Option Agreement; and
c.	incurring $300,000 of cumulative exploration expenditures on the Ashby Property within two years of the date of the Option Agreement.

If Orsa exercises the First Option and acquires a 49% interest in the Ashby Property, it will have the option (the "Second Option") to acquire a further 2% interest in the Ashby Property (for an aggregate 51% interest) by paying Bridgeport $100,000 in cash and issuing to Bridgeport common shares having an aggregate value of $100,000 within a 90 day period.

Following the exercise of the First Option, and if applicable, the Second Option, Orsa and Bridgeport will form a joint venture for further exploration and development of the Ashby Property. If Orsa has exercised the Second Option, it will hold a 51% interest in the joint venture and will be the operator of the joint venture. If Orsa has not exercised the Second Option, Orsa will hold a 49% interest in the joint venture and Bridgeport will become the operator.

18.	Conversion to IFRS
(i)	Overview

As stated in significant accounting policies (note 2), these are the Company’s third unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The policies set out in the significant accounting policies section in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 2011 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and in the preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position at May 1, 2010 (the "Transition Date").

(ii) First-time adoption of IFRS

The adoption of IFRS requires the application of IFRS 1, which provides guidance for an entity’s initial adoption of IFRS. IFRS 1 generally requires retrospective application of IFRS as effective at the end of its first annual IFRS reporting period. However, IFRS 1 also provides certain optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to this retrospective treatment.

The Company has elected to apply the following optional exemption in its preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position as at May 1, 2010.

• To apply IFRS 3 Business Combination only to past business combinations that occurred after the date of transition to IFRS (May 1, 2010).
• To apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payments only to equity instruments that were issued after November 7, 2002 and had not vested by the Transition Date.

IFRS 1 does not permit changes to estimates that have been made previously. Accordingly, estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s opening IFRS statement of financial position as at the Transition Date are consistent with those that were made under Canadian GAAP.

(iii) Changes to accounting policies

The Company has changed certain accounting policies in accordance with IFRS. The policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of March 12, 2012. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's first annual financial statements for the year ending April 30, 2012 could result in a restatement of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The changes to its accounting policies have resulted in certain changes to the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity, and expenses within its financial statements.

The following summarizes the significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies on adoption of IFRS.

18.	Conversion to IFRS (continued)
(iii)	Changes to accounting policies (continued)
(a)	Impairment of non-financial assets

IFRS requires a write down of assets if the higher of the fair market value and the value in use of a group of assets is less than its carrying value. Value in use is determined using discounted estimated future cash flows. Current Canadian GAAP requires a write down to estimated fair value only if the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of a group of assets are less than its carrying value.

The Company's accounting policies related to impairment of non-financial assets have been changed to reflect these differences. There was no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as there were no impairment indicators on the Transition Date or as at January 31, 2011.

(b) Decommissioning Liabilities (Asset Retirement Obligations)

IFRS requires the recognition of a decommissioning liability for legal or constructive obligations, while current Canadian GAAP only requires the recognition of such liabilities for legal obligations. A constructive obligation exists when an entity has created reasonable expectations that it will take certain actions.

The Company's accounting policies related to decommissioning liabilities have been changed to reflect these differences. There is no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as there was no legal or constructive obligation on the Transition Date or as at January 31, 2011.

(c) Income Taxes

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company had recognized deferred tax on temporary differences arising on the acquisition of assets where the carrying amount of the assets acquired exceeded the tax base.

IFRS provides for a specific exemption from recording a deferred tax liability on initial recognition when the transaction is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit/loss nor tax profit/loss. As the acquisition of certain interests in exploration properties meet the IFRS exemption criteria, the recognition of deferred tax liabilities in relation to these assets acquired under Canadian GAAP is reversed under IFRS.

(iv) Presentation

Certain amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position, statements of loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted under IFRS.

(“Bridgeport” or the “Corporation”) constitutes management’s review of the factors that affected the Corporation’s financial and operating performance for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012. This MD&A has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the years ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010, together with the notes thereto as well as the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, together with the notes thereto. Results are reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. Information contained herein is presented as at March 12, 2012, unless otherwise indicated.

On May 1, 2011, Bridgeport adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), and using accounting policies consistent with IFRS. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

The comparative financial information of fiscal 2011 in this MD&A has been restated to conform to IFRS, unless otherwise stated.

For the purposes of preparing this MD&A, management, in conjunction with the board of directors, considers the materiality of information. Information is considered material if: (i) such information results in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a significant change in the market price or value of the Corporation’s common shares; or (ii) there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making an investment decision; or (iii) it would significantly alter the total mix of information available to investors. Management, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, evaluates materiality with reference to all relevant circumstances, including potential market sensitivity.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended January 31, 2012

Dated – March 12, 2012

The Corporation is a Canadian-based exploration and development company primarily focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of properties prospective for gold and copper. The Corporation currently holds an interest in ten predominantly gold prospective properties located in Nevada, USA (the “Acquired Nevada Properties”), which the Corporation acquired from Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”), and an additional 180 claims (the “Staked Nevada Claims”) contiguous to the Acquired Nevada Properties (the Staked Nevada Claims and together with the Acquired Nevada Properties, the “Nevada Portfolio”).

The Corporation is a reporting issuer or the equivalent under applicable securities legislation in every province in Canada, except Quebec, and in the United States. The common shares of the Corporation are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “BPV”. In addition, certain warrants of the Corporation trade on the TSX under the symbols “BPV.WT” and “BPV.WT.A”.

The Corporation has no revenues, so its ability to ensure continuing operations is dependent on its completing the acquisition of its mineral property interests, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of its interest in the underlying mineral claims, and its ability to obtain necessary financing to complete its exploration activities, development and future profitable production.

The Corporation's goal is to deliver superior returns to shareholders by concentrating on the acquisition of properties that have the potential to contain precious and base metals. The Corporation currently plans to partner with other junior companies looking to focus expertise and funds on the Nevada Portfolio, as set out below under “Mineral Exploration Properties”.

Overall Performance

Highlights

• In light of the current market environment, Bridgeport has halted all early stage exploration activities in Nevada and has terminated the Trillador and Tamara property option agreements in Chile with the objective of conserving cash to support an aggressive search for a flagship advanced gold or copper-gold project in the Americas. Bridgeport is also in discussions with companies interested in either purchasing or joint venturing the projects from the Nevada portfolio.

• On July 19, 2011, the Corporation entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Orsa Ventures Corp. (“Orsa”) whereby Orsa can earn a 51 per cent interest in Bridgeport’s Ashby Gold Property in Nevada (one of the properties comprising the Nevada Portfolio) through phased exploration expenditures, share payments and a cash payment to Bridgeport. Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Orsa has the option (the "First Option") to earn up to a 49% interest in the Ashby Property by:

a)	issuing to Bridgeport or its nominee an aggregate of 100,000 common shares of Orsa within three business days of receipt by Orsa of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) of the Option Agreement;
b)	incurring an aggregate of $150,000 of exploration expenditures on the Ashby Property within one year of the date of the Option Agreement; and
c)	incurring $300,000 of cumulative exploration expenditures on the Ashby Property within two years of the date of the Option Agreement.

If Orsa exercises the First Option and acquires a 49% interest in the Ashby Property, it will have the option (the "Second Option") to acquire a further 2% interest in the Ashby Property (for an aggregate 51% interest) by paying Bridgeport $100,000 in cash and issuing to Bridgeport common shares of Orsa having an aggregate value of $100,000 within a 90 day period.

Following the exercise of the First Option, and if applicable, the Second Option, Orsa and Bridgeport will form a joint venture for further exploration and development of the Ashby Property. If Orsa has exercised the Second Option, it will hold a 51% interest in the joint venture and will be the operator of the joint venture. If Orsa has not exercised the Second Option, Orsa will hold a 49% interest in the joint venture and Bridgeport will become the operator.

On November 21, 2011, the Option Agreement was approved by the TSXV and 100,000 common shares of Orsa were received on December 7, 2011.
 
• Further to TSXV bulletin dated September 2, 2010, the TSXV has accepted for filing documentation pertaining to an amending letter agreement (the "Amending Agreement") dated August 17, 2011, between Gondwana Gold Inc. (“Gondwana”) and the Corporation. Pursuant to the original agreement dated August 20, 2010 (the "Original Agreement"), Gondwana had an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in the Corporation’s McCart property and was required to spend $150,000 on exploration and issue an additional 250,000 shares by August 20, 2011 (the "Commitments"), among other consideration payments. In accordance with the terms of the Amending Agreement, Gondwana and the Corporation have agreed to extend the time by which the Commitments must be satisfied until February 20, 2012, in exchange for an additional 25,000 shares of Gondwana to be issued to the Corporation. On October 25, 2011, Bridgeport received the 25,000 common share of Gondwana in accordance with the terms of the Amending Agreement.
  
  All other terms of the Original Agreement remain unchanged. On February 15, 2012, Gondwana terminated its option on the McCart property. The Corporation is evaluating its alternatives for the McCart property on a going forward basis.

Financial

• During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the Corporation incurred exploration expenditures of approximately $3.7 million, up from approximately $1.1 million during the nine months ended January 31, 2011. Work encompassed exploration drilling, geophysical studies, and geochemical surveys. Two drill rigs were operational at the Nevada Portfolio during the period. The drill rigs were dedicated to exploration drilling at the Blackrock and Hot Pot projects.

• As of the date of this MD&A, the 2011 exploration program for the Nevada Portfolio has been suspended and the Corporation is discussing the sale or joint venture of the Nevada portfolio projects with well-funded juniors who have exploration exposure and expertise in Nevada. The Corporation intends to spend $375,000 on the Nevada Portfolio to maintain its ownership rights in the projects. The budget is discretionary, subject to change if management decides to scale back operations or accelerate exploration based on the success or failure of future exploration programs. See “Mineral Exploration Properties” and “Liquidity and Financial Position” below.

• At January 31, 2012, the Corporation had mineral exploration properties at a carrying cost of $9,375,890 (April 30, 2011 - $7,578,011). See “Mineral Exploration Properties” below. During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the Corporation terminated its interests in Chile and incurred a write-off of mineral property interests and related receivables in the amount of $1,090,495. The Corporation will concentrate on significant property acquisitions when the opportunity arises.

• At January 31, 2012, the Corporation had working capital of $18,310,484 (April 30, 2011 – $22,432,663). The Corporation had $18,223,372 in cash and cash equivalents (“total cash”) (April 30, 2011 - $22,870,894). The decrease in total cash and working capital during the nine months ended January 31, 2012, was primarily due to expenditures incurred on the Corporation’s mineral properties (as discussed above) and operating expenses.

Trends

The Corporation is a mineral exploration company, focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the mining of precious and base metals. The Corporation currently has operations in the United States and Canada, but is in the process of ceasing operations in Chile. The Corporation’s financial success will be dependent upon the extent to which it can make discoveries and on the economic viability of any such discoveries. The development of such assets may take years to complete and the resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. The Corporation lacks mineral resources and mineral reserves and to date has not produced any revenues. The sales value of any minerals discovered by the Corporation is largely dependent upon factors beyond its control, such as the market value of the commodities produced.

There are significant uncertainties regarding the price of copper, silver, gold and other minerals and the availability of equity financing for the purposes of exploration and development. The future performance of the Corporation is largely tied to the development of the Nevada Portfolio through partnerships with other junior companies, and to other prospective business opportunities and the overall financial markets. Financial markets are likely to be volatile, reflecting ongoing concerns about the stability of the global economy and weakening global growth prospects. Unprecedented uncertainty in the credit markets has also led to increased difficulties in borrowing and raising funds. Companies worldwide have been affected particularly negatively by these trends. As a result, the Corporation may have difficulties raising equity financing for the purposes of copper, silver, gold and other minerals exploration and development, particularly without excessively diluting the interests of existing shareholders. These trends may limit the ability of the Corporation to develop and/or further explore its current mineral exploration properties and any other property interests that may be acquired in the future.

Mineral Exploration Properties

The Corporation’s exploration activities are at an early stage, and there are no known commercially exploitable deposits on any of its exploration properties, so any activities of the Corporation thereon will constitute exploratory searches for minerals. See “Risks and Uncertainties” below.

McCart Township Project

Pursuant to the Original Agreement dated August 20, 2010, Gondwana had an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in the McCart property and was required to fulfill certain Commitments, among other consideration payments. In accordance with the terms of the Amending Agreement, Gondwana and the Corporation have agreed to extend the time by which the Commitments must be satisfied until February 20, 2012, in exchange for an additional 25,000 shares of Gondwana to be issued to the Corporation. On October 25, 2011, Bridgeport received 25,000 common share of Gondwana in accordance with the terms of the Amending Agreement.

Budget

The Corporation is evaluating its alternatives for the McCart property on a going forward basis.

Rio Condor Properties

During the 2011 diamond drill campaign, a total of seven drill holes (2,026 metres) were completed. Based on the results, Bridgeport has decided to terminate its rights to acquire a 100% interest in the Trillador and Tamara property blocks by not making the property payments totalling US$100,000 (US $50,000 was due on November 5, 2011, for Tamara and US $50,000 will be due on January 31, 2012, for Trillador). As of January 31, 2012, Bridgeport will have relinquished all rights to the Rio Condor Properties. The Corporation is in the process of leaving Chile.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the Corporation incurred a write-off of exploration property interests and related receivables in the amount of $1,090,495 related to Chile operations.

Nevada Portfolio properties

Description of Nevada Portfolio properties

On November 16, 2010, BPV Gold acquired its interest in the Acquired Nevada Properties pursuant to an acquisition agreement amongst the Corporation, BPV Gold and Fronteer, in consideration of the issuance by the Corporation of an aggregate of 4,500,000 common shares to Fronteer (representing approximately 16% of the issued and outstanding common shares as of such date, prior to such issuance). The Corporation also acquired the Staked Nevada Claims.

The Nevada Portfolio is held by the Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BPV Gold. While the Nevada Portfolio is currently in the exploration phase, it is located in gold districts that have produced or are currently producing significant gold. The Nevada Portfolio consists of the properties listed in the table below, including both the 235 claims comprising the Acquired Nevada Properties and the 180 claims comprising the Staked Nevada Claims.

The Corporation holds a 100% interest in the Nevada Portfolio (other than the Bellview Lease Claims, in respect of which BPV Gold holds a 50% leased interest), subject to (i) a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) retained by Fronteer with respect to the Blackrock, Argentite, Horsethief, Fri Gold, Columbia, Ashby and East Walker properties comprising, in part, the Acquired Nevada Properties; and (ii) an aggregate 3% NSR held by Fronteer and certain other third parties with respect to the Bellview Project, Bellview Lease, Hot Pot and Kobeh properties comprising, in part, the Acquired Nevada Properties. In addition to the properties acquired from Fronteer, as at the date of this MD&A, Bridgeport has staked the 180 Staked Nevada Claims adjacent to the Acquired Nevada Properties.

Update of Nevada Portfolio properties

The Corporation commenced geophysical surveys of the Argentite, Fri Gold, Columbia, and Horsethief projects in March 2011. As of August 31, 2011, the geophysical surveys were complete for all projects. Soil geochemical surveys of the Argentite, Columbia, and Horsethief projects began in April 2011 and were completed in May 2011. A soil geochemical survey was initiated and completed at the East Walker property in July 2011. Phase One drill programs at the Blackrock and Hot Pot projects began in April 2011 and were completed in August 2011. Ten planned Phase One drill holes totaling 3,303 metres were completed at the Blackrock project. Drill results ranged from 83.8 metres grading less than the analytical detection limit of 0.001 gpt Au in drillhole BRKDD11-005 to as much as 1.52 metres grading 3.98 gpt Au in drillhole BRKDD-009. Significant drill results, defined as a minimum intercept length of 3 metres with a minimum grade of 0.5 gpt using a 0.1 gpt cutoff grade, are presented in the following table.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared with nine months ended January 31, 2011

The Corporation’s net loss totaled $2,716,858 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.05. This compares with net loss of $3,675,451 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.12 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease of $958,593 in net loss was principally because:

• The Corporation incurred a gain on sale of available-for-sale investment of $111,182 during the nine months ended January 31, 2012, through the disposal of Gondwana shares. No such gain was incurred in the comparative period.

• Interest income increased by $113,978 during the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to same period last year. The Corporation earned interest on high interest savings accounts and certificates of deposit from funds raised from its initial public offering, which was completed on October 7, 2009, a private placement that was completed on December 1, 2009, and the offering and over-allotment that were completed on December 20, 2010 and January 7, 2011, respectively.

• The Corporation incurred a decrease in share-based payments of $567,941 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease can be attributed to forfeiture of 196,666 stock options during the nine months ended January 31, 2012, which resulted in a reversal of share-based payment of $138,886. In addition, the stock options have vesting terms that require share-based payments of $546,344 to be recorded during the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to $1,114,285 in the comparative period. Readers of the financial statements should be cautious about the valuation of stock-based compensation since it can affect net income (loss) significantly.
  During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the following stock options were issued:
  
  On June 8, 2011, the Corporation granted 55,000 options exercisable at $0.85 to an employee and a consultant of the Corporation with an expiry date of June 8, 2016. The options will vest as to one-third on the date of grant and one-third after the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. The grant date fair value of $11,550 was assigned to the stock options by using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 72%, risk-free rate of return of 2.05% and an expected maturity of five years. For the nine months ended January 31, 2012, $7,598 was expensed to share-based payments.

  On July 26, 2011, the Corporation granted 417,500 options exercisable at $0.50 to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation with an expiry date of July 26, 2016. The options will vest as to one-third on the date of grant and one-third after the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. The grant date fair value of $119,823 was assigned to the stock options by using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 71%, risk-free rate of return of 1.93% and an expected maturity of five years. For the nine months ended January 31, 2012, $70,949 was expensed to share-based payments.

  On September 6, 2011, the Corporation granted 215,000 options exercisable at $0.50 to certain employees of the Corporation with an expiry date of September 6, 2016. The options will vest as to one-third on the date of grant and one-third after the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. The grant date fair value of $61,920 was assigned to the stock options by using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 70%, risk-free rate of return of 1.24% and an expected maturity of five years. For the nine months ended January 31, 2012, $33,103 was expensed to share-based payments.

Dated – March 12, 2012

Several variables are used when determining the value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model:

• The expected term: the Corporation used the expected terms of five years, which is the maximum term ascribed to the stock options issued, for the purposes of calculating their value; the Corporation chose the maximum term because it is difficult to determine with any reasonable degree of accuracy when these stock options will be exercised.

• Volatility: the Corporation used historical information on the market price of a similar company to determine the degree of volatility at the date the stock options were granted. Therefore, depending on when the stock options are granted and the period of historical information examined, the degree of volatility can be different when calculating the value of different stock options.

• Risk-free interest rate: the Corporation used the interest rate available for government securities of an equivalent expected term at the date of the grant of the stock options. The risk-free interest rate will vary depending on the date of the grant of the stock options and their expected term.

• Dividend yield: the Corporation has not paid dividends in the past because it is in the exploration stage and has not yet earned any significant income. Also, the Corporation does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future because it does not expect to bring its mineral properties into production and earn significant revenue in the foreseeable future. Therefore, a dividend rate of 0% was used for the purposes of the valuation of the stock options.
   

• The Corporation incurred professional fees of $217,499 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to $717,641 during the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease can be attributed to reduced corporate activity requiring legal assistance;

• The Corporation had a decrease in travel costs of $109,634 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The Corporation incurred less travel costs in 2011 due to its concentration on the Nevada Portfolio. In addition, management had fewer site visits to potential properties of interest in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011.

• Administrative and general expenses decreased by $21,669 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2011, and consisted of administrative costs such as advertising and promotion, telephone, rent, travel, insurance, postage, support costs for the Nevada Portfolio and courier charges. The decrease can be attributed to more cost savings initiatives during the nine months ended January 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the previous year.

• The Corporation incurred salaries and benefits costs of $238,733 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to $210,145 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The increase can be attributed to higher employee costs to support the Nevada Portfolio paid by BPV Gold during the nine months ended January 31, 2012, than same period last year.

• The Corporation incurred a write-off of mineral property interests and related receivables in the amount of $1,090,495 during the nine months ended January 31, 2012, in comparison to $1,076,426 during the nine months ended January 31, 2011. Both the write-off of $1,090,495 and the write-off of $1,076,426 are related to the Corporation’s operations in Chile.

• The Corporation incurred a foreign exchange loss of $108,014 during the nine months ended January 31, 2012 compared foreign exchange gain of $34,310 during the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The increase in foreign exchange loss can be attributed to transactions in Chile and the United States and the US dollar exchange rate fluctuations.

• The Corporation incurred an increase in business development fees of $170,293 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2011. These costs were incurred to develop the Corporation’s investor profile and business opportunities.

• All other expenses related to general working capital purposes.

Three months ended January 31, 2012, compared with three months ended January 31, 2011

The Corporation’s net loss totaled $543,874 for the three months ended January 31, 2012, with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01. This compares with net loss of $1,597,560 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.04 for the three months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease of $1,053,686 in net loss was principally because:

• The Corporation had a decrease in share-based payments of $309,505 for the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease can be attributed to the reason that the stock options have vesting terms that require share-based payments of $154,591 to be recorded during the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared to $464,096 in the comparative period. Readers of the financial statements should be cautious about the valuation of stock-based compensation since it can affect net income (loss) significantly.
  
  During the three months ended January 31, 2012, no stock options were issued.

The variables used in the Black-Scholes valuation model are similar to that described in share- based compensation on Pages 13;
 

• The Corporation incurred a write-off of mineral property interests and related receivables in the amount of $5,596 during the three months ended January 31, 2012, in comparison to $511,954 during the three months ended January 31, 2011. Both the write-off of $5,596 and the write-off of $511,954 are related to the Corporation’s operations in Chile.

• The Corporation incurred professional fees of $67,648 for the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared to $321,938 during the three months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease can be attributed to reduced corporate activity requiring legal assistance;

• The Corporation incurred salaries and benefits of $37,722 for the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared to $106,559 for the three months ended January 31, 2011. The increase can be attributed to lower employee costs to support the Nevada Portfolio paid by BPV Gold during the three months ended January 31, 2012, than the same period last year.

• The Corporation reported a decrease in travel costs of $24,226 for the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2011. The Corporation had lower travel costs in 2011 due to its concentration on the Nevada Portfolio. In addition, management had fewer site visits to potential properties of interest in the current period compared to the prior period.

• The Corporation incurred a foreign exchange gain of $42,138 during the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared with a foreign exchange gain of $11,504 during the three months ended January 31, 2011. The increase in foreign exchange gain can be attributed to transactions in Chile and the United States and US dollar exchange rate fluctuations.

• The Corporation incurred an increase in business development fees of $186,618 for the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2011. These costs were incurred to develop the Corporation’s investor profile and business opportunities.

• All other expenses related to general working capital purposes.

Liquidity and Financial Position

The activities of the Corporation, principally the acquisition and exploration of properties that have the potential to contain precious and base metals, are financed through equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, the Corporation did not have any equity transactions.

Amounts payable and other liabilities decreased to $121,782 at January 31, 2012, compared to $1,046,868 at April 30, 2011, primarily due to payments made during the nine months ended January 31, 2012. The Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents as at January 31, 2012, are sufficient to pay these liabilities.

The Corporation has no operating revenues and therefore must utilize its current cash reserves and other financing transactions to maintain its capacity to meet ongoing internal budgetary requirements. See “Trends” above.

As of January 31, 2012, and to the date of this MD&A, substantially all cash resources of the Corporation are held with select Canadian financial institutions.

The Corporation has no debt and its credit and interest rate risk is minimal. Amounts payable and other liabilities are short term and non-interest bearing.

Based on expenses for the year ended April 30, 2011, the Corporation’s operating expenses are estimated to average approximately $500,000 per quarter for fiscal 2012. The $500,000 covers legal fees, reporting issuer costs, salaries and benefits, business development costs and general and administrative costs.

On November 15, 2010, BPV Gold acquired its interest in the Acquired Nevada Properties, subject to a 2% NSR in certain properties and an aggregate 3% NSR in certain properties, in consideration of the issuance by the Corporation of an aggregate of 4,500,000 common shares to Fronteer. A budget of approximately $3,123,698 was previously proposed to fund the Phase I recommended program on the Blackrock, Argentite, Bellview and Horsethief properties comprising, in part, the Nevada Portfolio properties. If warranted based on the results of Phase I, the Corporation anticipated that it would spend approximately $3,504,022 for completion of the Phase II recommended program on the Blackrock, Argentite, Bellview and Horsethief properties comprising, in part, the Nevada Portfolio properties. As of the date of this MD&A, the 2011 exploration program for the Nevada Portfolio has been suspended and the Corporation is in discussions with companies who are interested in purchasing or joint venturing the Nevada projects. The $13.65 million use of proceeds disclosed in the short-form prospectus of the Corporation dated December 13, 2010, related to a prior financing completed by the Corporation, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, has been modified due to the current market environment. In particular, Bridgeport’s objective has changed to conserving cash to support an aggressive search for a flagship advanced gold or copper-gold project in the Americas. The Corporation intends to spend $375,000 on the Nevada Portfolio to maintain its ownership rights in the projects. The budget is discretionary, subject to change if management decides to scale back operations or accelerate exploration based on the success or failure of future exploration programs.

The Corporation believes it currently has sufficient funds to meet its fiscal 2012 planned expenditures. The Corporation’s working capital of $18,310,484 as of January 31, 2012, is anticipated to be adequate for it to continue operations at the current level for the twelve month period ending January 31, 2013, even if its expected plans discussed above do not materialize and new plans are developed. However, to meet long-term business plans, acquiring a flagship advanced gold or copper-gold project in the Americas is an important component of the Corporation’s financial success.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on its results of operations or financial condition, including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity, capital expenditures and capital resources that would be considered material to investors.

Proposed Transactions

There are no proposed transactions of a material nature being considered by the Corporation. However, the Corporation continues to evaluate properties and corporate entities that it may acquire or form other joint ventures or similar arrangements with in the future.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

• All inputs used in the Black-Scholes model for determining the fair value of share based payment transactions and warrants issued;
• Valuation and recoverability of the Corporation's interest in exploration properties and deferred exploration expenditures;
• Valuation of available-for-sale investments;
• The assumptions used for determining the amount of deferred income taxes and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, including future income tax rate and recoverability;
• Management's assumptions in determining the functional currencies of the Corporation's subsidiaries;
• Management's assumption of no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental provisions, based on the facts and circumstances that existed during the period; and
• Going concern presentation of the financial statements, which assumes the Corporation will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as they come due in the normal course of operations.

Change in Accounting Policies

Impact of Adopting IFRS on the Corporation’s Accounting Policies

Effective the first quarter of 2012, the Corporation began preparing its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Reconciliations, descriptions and explanations of how the transition to IFRS has affected the reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Corporation are provided in Note 18, “Conversion to IFRS”, to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012. This note also includes reconciliations of equity and comprehensive income (loss) for comparative periods reported under Canadian GAAP with amounts reported for those periods under IFRS.

The Corporation has changed certain accounting policies to be consistent with IFRS as it is expected to be effective or available on April 30, 2012, the Corporation’s first annual IFRS reporting date. The changes to its accounting policies have resulted in certain changes to the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses within its financial statements.

The following summarizes the significant changes to the Corporation’s accounting policies on adoption of IFRS.

(a) Impairment of non-financial assets

IFRS requires a write-down of assets if the higher of the fair market value and the value in use of a group of assets is less than its carrying value. Value in use is determined using discounted estimated future cash flows. Current Canadian GAAP requires a write-down to estimated fair value only if the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of a group of assets are less than its carrying value.

The Corporation's accounting policies related to impairment of non-financial assets have been changed to reflect these differences. There was no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as there were no impairment indicators on the Transition Date or as at January 31, 2011.

(b) Decommissioning Liabilities (Asset Retirement Obligations)

IFRS requires the recognition of a decommissioning liability for legal or constructive obligations, while current Canadian GAAP only requires the recognition of such liabilities for legal obligations. A constructive obligation exists when an entity has created reasonable expectations that it will take certain actions.

The Corporation's accounting policies related to decommissioning liabilities have been changed to reflect these differences. There is no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as there was no legal or constructive obligation on the Transition Date or as at January 31, 2011.

(c) Income Taxes

Under Canadian GAAP, the Corporation has recognized deferred tax on temporary differences arising on the acquisition of assets where the carrying amount of the assets acquired exceeded the tax base.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended January 31, 2012

Dated – March 12, 2012

IFRS provides for a specific exemption from recording a deferred tax liability on initial recognition when the transaction is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit/loss nor tax profit/loss. As the acquisition of certain interests in exploration properties meets the IFRS exemption criteria, the recognition of deferred tax liabilities in relation to these assets acquired under Canadian GAAP is reversed under IFRS.

Impact of Adopting IFRS on the Corporation’s Business

The adoption of IFRS has resulted in some changes to the Corporation’s accounting systems and business processes. However, the impact has been minimal. The Corporation has not identified any contractual arrangements that are significantly impacted by the adoption of IFRS.

The Corporation's staff and advisers involved in the preparation of financial statements have been appropriately trained on the relevant aspects of IFRS and the changes to accounting policies.

The Board of Directors and Audit Committee have been regularly updated throughout the Corporation’s IFRS transition process, and are aware of the key aspects of IFRS affecting the Corporation.

New accounting standards and interpretations

(i) IFRS 9 – Financial instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IASB has proposed to move the effective date of IFRS 9 to January 1, 2015.

(ii) IFRS 10 – Consolidated financial statements (“IFRS 10”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 10 is a new standard which identifies the concept of control as the determining factor in assessing whether an entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. Control consists of three elements: power over an investee; exposure to variable returns from an investee; and the ability to use power to affect the reporting entity’s returns. IFRS 10 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier adoption is permitted.

(iii) IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements (“IFRS 11”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 11 is a new standard which focuses on classifying joint arrangements by their rights and obligations rather than their legal form. Entities are classified into two groups: parties having rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of an arrangement, and rights to the net assets of an arrangement. Entities in the former case account for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with the arrangement, whereas entities in the latter case account for the arrangement using the equity method. IFRS 11 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted.

(iv) IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities (“IFRS 12”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 12 is a new standard which provides disclosure requirements for entities reporting interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, special purpose vehicles, and off-balance-sheet vehicles. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted.

Dated – March 12, 2012

(v) IFRS 13 – Fair value measurement (“IFRS 13”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 13 is a new standard which provides a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement considerations for use across IFRSs. The key points of IFRS 13 are as follows:

• fair value is measured using the price in a principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market;
• financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risks can be measured on the basis of an entity’s net risk exposure;
• disclosure regarding the fair value hierarchy has been moved from IFRS 7 to IFRS 13, and further guidance has been added to the determination of classes of assets and liabilities;

Financial Instruments

The Corporation’s financial instruments consist of:

Description	As at	As at
	January 31,	April 30,
	2012	2011
	$	$
Cash and cash equivalents	18,223,372	22,870,894

Unrealized loss (gain) on available-for-sale investment	3,250	(175,000	)

The primary goals of the Corporation’s financial risk management policies are to ensure that the outcome of activities involving elements of risk are consistent with the Corporation’s objectives and risk tolerance, while maintaining an appropriate risk/reward balance and protecting the Corporation’s balance sheet from events that have the potential to materially impair its financial strength. Balancing risk and reward is achieved through: identifying risk appropriately, aligning risk with overall business strategy, diversifying risk, pricing appropriately for risk, mitigation through preventive controls, and transferring risk to third parties.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended January 31, 2012

Dated – March 12, 2012

The long-term corporate objective and strategic plan remain unchanged. However, the short-term objective and plan continue to be modified to reflect global economic financial conditions and general market conditions, which will inevitably have an impact on the overall risk assessment of the Corporation. Such modifications include streamlining operational costs and preserving cash to the extent possible.

The Corporation’s exposure to potential loss from financial instruments relates primarily to fair value risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risks including interest rate risk and commodity price risk.

The Corporation's risk exposures and the impact on the Corporation's financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit Risk

The Corporation's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, high interest savings accounts and certificates of deposit at select Canadian financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Financial assets included in amounts receivable consist of goods and services tax and harmonized sales tax due from the Government of Canada and deposits with service providers. Amounts receivable are in good standing as of January 31, 2012. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to the financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable is remote.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Corporation’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Corporation. The Corporation generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at January 31, 2012, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $18,223,372 (April 30, 2011 - $22,870,894) to settle current liabilities of $121,782 (April 30, 2011 - $1,046,868). All of the Corporation's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Corporation regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as liquidity. The Corporation’s ability to continually meet its obligations and carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.

Market Risk

a) Interest Rate Risk

The Corporation has cash and cash equivalents and no interest-bearing debt. The Corporation's current policy is to invest excess cash in high interest savings accounts and investment-grade certificates of deposit issued by its Canadian financial institutions. The Corporation periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its Canadian financial institutions. Currently, the Corporation does not hedge against interest rate risk.

Dated – March 12, 2012

b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Corporation's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and purchases are transacted in Canadian and US dollars and Chilean pesos. The Corporation funds certain operations, exploration and administrative expenses in Chile and the United States on a cash call basis using US dollar currency converted from select bank accounts held in Canada. The Corporation maintains US dollar bank accounts in Canada, the United States and Chile, and Chilean peso bank accounts in Chile. The Corporation is subject to gains and losses from fluctuations in the US dollar and Chilean peso against the Canadian dollar.

The Corporation had the following significant balances in foreign currencies:

Description	As at		As at
	January 31,		April 30,
	2012		2011
	$		$
United States Dollars
Cash (Bank indebtedness)	56,136	(1)	(375,361	)(1)
Amounts receivable and other assets	15,000	(1)	1,082	(1)
Amounts payable and other liabilities	9,674	(1)	20,196	(1)
Chilean Peso
Amounts receivable and other assets	-		112,182,936	(2)
Amounts payable and other liabilities	64,347,119	(2)	199,755,213	(2)

(1) Denoted in United States Dollars: (January 31, 2012 - 1 United States Dollar = 1.0028 Canadian Dollars); and (April 30, 2011 - 1 United States Dollar = 0.9464 Canadian Dollars); and
(2) Denoted in Chilean Pesos: (January 31, 2012 - 1 Chilean Peso = 0.000536 Canadian Dollars); and (April 30, 2011 - 1 Chilean Peso = 0.00206 Canadian Dollars).

c) Price Risk

The Corporation is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Corporation's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Corporation closely monitors commodity prices as they relate to gold and copper, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Corporation. Because the Corporation's mineral properties are in the exploration stage, it does not hedge against commodity price risk.

The Corporation's available-for-sale investment in Gondwana and Orsa are subject to fair value fluctuations arising from changes in the equity and commodity markets.

Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Corporation believes the following movements are "reasonably possible" over a nine month period:

Dated – March 12, 2012

(i) Cash equivalents are subject to floating interest rates. As at January 31, 2012, if interest rates had decreased/increased by one percentage point with all other variables held constant, the loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, would have been approximately $137,000 higher/lower, as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash equivalents.

(ii) The Corporation is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations of financial instruments that are denominated in US dollars and the Chilean peso related to cash balances, amounts receivable and amounts payable and other liabilities. As at January 31, 2012, a plus or minus 5% change in the foreign exchange rate with all other variables held constant would not have a significant impact on the loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, and the reported equity as at January 31, 2012.

(iii) The Corporation’s available-for-sale investments in the common shares of Gondwana and Orsa are subject to fair value fluctuations. As at January 31, 2012, a plus or minus 10% change in the bid price of the common shares of Gondwana and Orsa with all other variables held constant would not have a significant impact on the comprehensive loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, and the reported equity as at January 31, 2012.

Capital Management

The Corporation manages its capital with the following objectives:

• to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve the ongoing business objectives including funding of future growth opportunities and pursuit of accretive acquisitions; and
• to maximize shareholder return.

The Corporation monitors its capital structure and actively makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Corporation may manage its capital structure by issuing new shares, repurchasing outstanding shares, adjusting capital spending, or disposing of assets. The capital structure is reviewed by management and the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis. The Corporation's ability to continue to carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.

The Corporation manages capital through its financial and operational forecasting processes. The Corporation reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures and other investing and financing activities. The forecast is updated based on activities related to its mineral properties. Selected information is provided to the Board of Directors. The Corporation’s capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012.

The Corporation is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution.

Outlook

The Corporation plans to conserve cash to support an aggressive search for a flagship advanced gold or copper-gold project in the Americas.

Environmental Contingency

The Corporation’s operations may be subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that means standards are stricter, and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations. The Corporation intends to comply fully with all environmental regulations. As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation does not believe that there are any significant environmental obligations requiring material capital outlays in the immediate future.

Share Capital

As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation had 50,579,600 issued and outstanding common shares and an aggregate of 27,790,000 warrants outstanding, each entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation issued 1,035,000 units, with each such unit consisting of one common share and one-half of one warrant with each whole warrant exercisable to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $1.40 until December 20, 2012. At the date of this MD&A, the Corporation had 4,507,500 stock options outstanding, each entitling the holder to acquire one common share. Therefore, the Corporation had 84,429,600 common shares on a fully diluted basis.

Risks and Uncertainties

An investment in the securities of the Corporation is highly speculative and involves numerous and significant risks. Such investment should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors that have affected, and which in the future are reasonably expected to affect, the Corporation and its financial position. Please refer to the section entitled "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Corporation's annual MD&A dated July 25, 2011, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. There have been no significant changes to such risk factors since that date other than as discussed elsewhere in this MD&A.

In addition to the risks outlined in the Corporation’s April 30, 2011, management’s discussion and analysis, Bridgeport has identified the extreme volatility occurring in the financial markets as at the date hereof as a significant risk for the Corporation. As a result of the market turmoil, investors are moving away from assets they perceive as risky to those they perceive as safe. Companies like Bridgeport are considered risk assets and as mentioned above are highly speculative. The volatility in the markets and investor sentiment may make it difficult for Bridgeport to access the capital markets in order to raise the capital it will need to fund its current level of expenditures.

Disclosure controls

Disclosure controls and processes have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation is compiled and reported to Corporation management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of January 31, 2012, that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information related to the Corporation is made known to them by employees and third party consultants working for the Corporation. There have been no significant changes in the Corporation’s disclosure controls and processes during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012.

It should be noted that while the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and processes will provide a reasonable level of assurance and that they are effective, they do not expect that the disclosure controls and processes will prevent all errors and frauds. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are met.

ICFR

Management is responsible for certifying the design of the Corporation’s ICFR (internal control over financial reporting) as required by National Instrument 52-109 – “Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings”. ICFR is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. ICFR should include those policies and procedures that establish the following:

• maintenance of records in reasonable detail that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;
• reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS;
• receipts and expenditures are only being made in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
• reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design of the Corporation’s ICFR as of January 31, 2012, pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 52-109. The Corporation has designed appropriate ICFR (COSO Framework, as discussed below) for the nature and size of the Corporation’s business, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS except as noted herein.

The Corporation uses MSSI, a service organization in Canada, controlled by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, to perform the majority of its financial reporting functions, including the recording of transactions, the reconciliation of accounts and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Controlling and monitoring processes performed by MSSI are as important as controlling and monitoring processes performed within the Corporation. Management currently monitors the work performed by MSSI through the review of the consolidated financial statements and other financial information and discussions with the staff of MSSI. Though these monitoring controls do provide some assurance, they lack a sufficient level of precision to ensure that all errors will be prevented or detected.

MSSI has obtained an auditor’s report of controls as at September 30, 2011, that stated the internal control functions that clients of MSSI use are designed and operating effectively. The Corporation’s management has determined that the internal controls at MSSI are designed and operating effectively for Canadian operations. The control framework that MSSI has adopted to design certain functions is the COSO Framework published by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). COSO is recognized the world over for providing guidance on critical aspects of organizational governance, business ethics, internal control, enterprise risk management, fraud, and financial reporting.
