FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The information provided in this Circular may contain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information about CB Gold, First Source or the Transaction within the meaning of applicable securities laws.  In addition, CB Gold or First Source may make or approve certain statements or information in future filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, in news releases, or in oral or written presentations by representatives of CB Gold or First Source that are not statements of historical fact and may also constitute forward-looking statements or forward-looking information.  All statements and information, other than statements of historical fact, made by CB Gold or First Source that address activities, events, or developments that CB Gold or First Source expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements and information, including, but not limited to statements and information preceded by, followed by, or that include words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “likely”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intends”, “plan”, “forecast”, “budget”, “schedule”, “project”, “estimate”, “outlook”, or the negative of those words or other similar or comparable words.
 
Forward-looking statements and information involve significant risks, assumptions, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual future performance, achievement or other realities to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements or information and, accordingly, should not be read as guarantees of future performance, achievement or realities.
 
Actual performance, achievement or other realities could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements or information in this Circular and, accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements or information.  Further, any forward-looking statement or information speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and neither CB Gold nor First Source undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information to reflect information, events, results, circumstances, realities or otherwise after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law, including securities laws.  All forward-looking statements and information contained in this Circular and other documents of CB Gold and First Source are qualified by such cautionary statements.  New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on CB Gold’s, First Source’s or, assuming completion of the Transaction, Amalco’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual realities to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.  For a more detailed discussion of certain risk factors, see “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco - Risk Factors relating to Amalco’s Business and an Investment in Amalco Securities”.
 
In addition, forward-looking statements and information herein, including pro forma financial information, is based on certain assumptions and involves risks related to the consummation or non-consummation of the Transaction and the business and operations of Amalco.  Pro forma financial information contained herein is based on the assumption that CB Gold Shareholders and First Source Shareholders will vote in favour of the Transaction and that all other conditions to the Transaction will be satisfied or waived.  Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of CB Gold or First Source and there is no assurance that they will prove correct.  These risks and factors include, but are not limited to the risks related to the following:  conditions to the completion of the Transaction, including TSXV approval, may not be satisfied; obligations and liabilities of First Source and CB Gold; the Subscription Receipt Offering may not be completed in full or at all and its terms may be amended; an active market for the Amalco Shares may not develop; the trading prices of Amalco Shares may be less than the historical trading prices of First Source Shares; the trading price of such shares will likely decline significantly if there are substantial sales of Amalco Shares; Amalco will depend on two principal exploration stage projects; current production on the Vetas Gold Project may give rise to environmental liabilities; dependence on future financing; political and economic uncertainties in Colombia; there are no known resources or reserves of minerals on the Norte de Santander Gold Project or the Vetas Gold Project and Amalco cannot guarantee that there will be any commercial quantities of minerals on such properties that can be exploited on a profitable basis; CB Gold and First Source have historically depended on distributions of securities for funding requirements; uncertainty in global markets and economic conditions; the risk that Amalco’s business will fail because there is no assurance that Amalco will generate revenues; the speculative nature of the exploration of natural resource properties; uninsurable risks which could reduce or eliminate any future profitability; Amalco may not have good title to its mining claims; unreliable historical data for the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project; competition from other exploration companies; dependence on key personnel; the inability of Amalco’s directors

and officers to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business may limit Amalco’s success; government regulations and environmental concerns; issuances of securities of Amalco will result in dilution to Holders of Amalco Shares; the officers and directors of Amalco will own significant Amalco Shares and can exercise significant influence; the infrastructure in Colombia may not be adequate to support Amalco’s operations; conflicts of interest; the marketability of mineralized material is subject to numerous factors beyond its control; fluctuations in mineral prices; shareholders should not anticipate receiving cash dividends on Amalco Shares; repatriation of earnings; increased costs and compliance risks as a result of being a public company; non-governmental organization intervention; management of Amalco has discretion in the use of available funds; currency risk; the difficulty of enforcement of civil liabilities; joint venture risks; and Amalco’s principal properties are located in remote areas.
 
Although CB Gold and First Source have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and forward-looking information in this Circular, and the documents incorporated by reference herein, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.  There is no assurance that such statements and information will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements or information.  Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information contained in this Circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein.
 
NOTICE TO UNITED STATES SECURITYHOLDERS
 
This Amalgamation relates to the securities of First Source and CB Gold, each of which is a Canadian company. This Circular is subject to disclosure requirements of Canada, which are different from those of the United States.  The solicitation of proxies hereby is not subject to the proxy requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”), by virtue of an exemption applicable to proxy solicitations by foreign private issuers as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, this Circular has been prepared in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements in Canada.  First Source Securityholders and CB Gold Securityholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different than those of the United States.
 
Financial statements included or incorporated by reference in this document have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.
 
The Amalco Securities to be issued in connection with the Amalgamation have not been registered pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act, and are being issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 802 thereunder. The Amalco Securities will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act to the same extent and proportion that the First Source Securities and CB Gold Securities, as applicable, exchanged by a securityholder in the Amalgamation were also “restricted securities”.
 
It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under U.S. federal securities laws, since each of First Source, CB Gold and Amalco is or will be incorporated or organized in Canada, all or most of their officers and directors are residents of Canada and other foreign countries, and all or most of their assets and the assets of their officers and directors are located outside the United States. You may not be able to sue a Canadian company or its officers and directors in a Canadian or other foreign court for violations of U.S. securities laws.  It may be difficult to compel a Canadian company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, all estimates of, or references to, mineral reserves and resources included or incorporated by reference in this document have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.  The definition of a “mineral reserve” in NI 43-101 and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) definition of a “reserve” differ in certain respects. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. In addition, while “resources” are recognized and required to be disclosed by Canadian securities laws, the SEC does not recognize or permit U.S. companies to disclose mineral resources in documents filed with the SEC because they do not have demonstrated economic or legal viability.  U.S.
 

 
 

 
11

investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a resource exists or will ever be established as a “reserve”. Accordingly, descriptions of mineralization included or incorporated by reference in this document may not be comparable to information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
 
The exchange of First Source Securities and CB Gold Securities for Amalco Securities in the Amalgamation and the holding and disposition of Amalco Securities may have tax consequences under the laws of the United States and Canada. Such consequences for First Source Securityholders and CB Gold Securityholders that are residents of, or citizens of, or otherwise subject to taxation in the United States (“U.S. Shareholders”) are not described in this Circular. U.S. Shareholders should be aware that each of First Source and CB Gold may have been a “passive foreign investment company” (as defined in U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 1297) (a “PFIC”) in prior taxable years and may be a PFIC for the current taxable year, and there are special and generally adverse U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Shareholders who held their First Source Securities or CB Gold Securities during a period when First Source or CB Gold, as applicable, was a PFIC. U.S. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the Amalgamation and the ownership and disposition of Amalco Securities received pursuant to the Amalgamation.
 
THE SECURITIES OFFERED PURSUANT TO THE AMALGAMATION HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY UNITED STATES STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS ANY SUCH SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE OFFER AND CIRCULAR.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

Solicitation may be by mail, phone, email or facsimile.
 
Voting of Proxies
 
The First Source Shares and CB Gold Shares represented by properly completed proxies will be voted for or against the matters to be voted on in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder as specified in the proxy with respect to any matter to be voted on.  If a choice is not so specified, or if both choices are specified, with respect to any such matter, the shares represented by a proxy given to management will be voted in favour of such matter.  The forms of proxy accompanying this Circular confer discretionary authority upon the proxy nominees with respect to any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notices of Meetings or any other matters which may properly come before the First Source Meeting or the CB Gold Meeting, as the case may be.
 
Appointment of Proxyholder
 
A shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a shareholder) to attend and act for the shareholder and on the shareholder’s behalf at the relevant meeting other than the persons designated in the form of proxy and may exercise such right by inserting the name in full of the desired person in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and striking out the names now designated.
 
Delivery of Proxies
 
The forms of proxy for First Source must be delivered by mail or fax to Computershare Investor Services Inc., 4th Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9 (fax no. 1-866-249-7775) not later than two business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) before the date of the First Source Meeting or any adjournment thereof.  The forms of proxy for
 

 
 

 
19

 
CB Gold must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of CB Gold by mail or fax to Computershare Investor Services Inc., 4th Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia  V6C 3B9 1-866-249-7775, not later than two business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) before the date of the CB Gold Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
 
If any amendments or variations are proposed at the Meetings or any adjournment thereof to matters set forth in the proxy and described in the accompanying Notices of Meetings and this Circular, or if any other matters properly come before the Meetings or any adjournment thereof, the proxy confers upon the shareholder’s nominee discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other matters according to the best judgment of the person voting the proxy at the Meetings.  At the date of this Circular, management of First Source and CB Gold know of no such amendments or variations or other matters to come before the Meetings.
 
Revocation of Proxies
 
A shareholder has the right to revoke a proxy before it is exercised.  A proxy may be revoked by a written revocation signed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized attorney or, where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation.  This revocation must be delivered to Computershare Investor Services Inc., 4th Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9 at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the First Source Meeting or the CB Gold Meeting, as the case may be, or to the Chairman at the First Source Meeting or the CB Gold Meeting, as the case may be, or any adjournment of any such meeting, in any such case prior to the commencement of business at such meeting.  A proxy may also be revoked in any other manner provided by law.
 
Advice to Beneficial Shareholders
 
Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at either the CB Gold Meeting or the First Source Meeting.  Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to herein as “Beneficial Shareholders”) are advised that only proxies from shareholders of record can be recognized and voted at either the First Source Meeting or the CB Gold Meeting.  Beneficial Shareholders who complete and return an instrument of proxy must indicate thereon the person (usually a brokerage house) who holds their shares as a registered shareholder.
 
In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer of the Canadian Securities Administrators, First Source has distributed copies of the Notice of First Source Meeting, this Circular and the proxies to the clearing agencies and intermediaries for onward distribution to non-registered shareholders.  Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings unless the Beneficial Shareholders have waived the right to receive meeting materials.
 
Every intermediary (broker) has its own mailing procedure, and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed.  The instrument of proxy provided to Beneficial Shareholders is identical to that provided to registered shareholders.  However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.  If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those shares will not be registered in such shareholder’s name on the records of the company in question.  Such shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker.  In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of the Canadian Depository for Securities, or its nominee (“CDS & Co.”). Common shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder.  Without specific instructions, brokers/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients.  The directors and officers of CB Gold and First Source do not know for whose benefit the common shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held.
 
Should a non-registered shareholder receiving such a form wish to vote at the First Source Meeting or CB Gold Meeting, as the case may be, the non-registered shareholder should strike out the names of the management proxyholders named in the applicable form of proxy and insert the non-registered shareholder’s name in the blank space provided.  The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to
 

 
 

 
20

 
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”).  Broadridge typically mails a voting instruction form, in lieu of the form of proxy.  The Beneficial Shareholder is requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile.  Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder can call a toll-free telephone number or visit www.proxyvote.com to vote the First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, as the case may be, held by the Beneficial Shareholder.  Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the meeting.  A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote common shares directly at the First Source Meeting or CB Gold Meeting, as the case may be, and the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge or the telephone and internet procedures completed well in advance of such meeting in order to have the common shares voted. All references to shareholders in this Circular and the accompanying forms of proxy and Notices of Meetings are to shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

PART I:  THE AMALGAMATION
 
General
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, First Source and CB Gold have agreed to amalgamate pursuant to Section 270 of the BCBCA to continue as one company under the name “CB Gold Inc.”
 
Each First Source Shareholder (other than a Dissenting Shareholder) will receive 0.254512 of one Amalco Share in exchange for every one First Source Share held.  All First Source Options will be exchanged for Amalco Options at a ratio of 0.254512 of one Amalco Option for each First Source Option with an adjusted exercise price of $0.59 per Amalco Option.
 
Each CB Gold Shareholder (other than a Dissenting Shareholder) will receive one Amalco Share in exchange for every one CB Gold Share held.  All CB Gold Options will be exchanged for Amalco Options at a ratio of one Amalco Option for every one CB Gold Option held.  The exercise price for the Amalco Options issued in exchange for CB Gold Options will be $0.50 per Amalco Option.
 
Any fractional interests resulting from the foregoing transactions shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Amalco Security.  Upon completion of the Amalgamation and excluding the issuance of any Amalco Shares as a result of the Subscription Receipt Offering, First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders will hold, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 1.8% and 98.2% of the outstanding Amalco Shares, respectively.
 
Background to the Amalgamation
 
The provisions of the Amalgamation Agreement are the result of negotiations conducted between representatives of CB Gold and First Source and their respective advisors.  The following is a summary of the principal meetings, negotiations, discussions and actions between the parties that preceded the execution and public announcement of the Amalgamation Agreement.
 
Management of CB Gold and the CB Gold Board have, since the incorporation of CB Gold, examined opportunities to enhance the value of the CB Gold Shares and to improve the strategic positioning of CB Gold.  Because CB Gold is a privately-held company and the CB Gold Shares are not listed on any exchange, CB Gold’s management and the CB Gold Board have sought opportunities to improve the liquidity of the CB Gold Shares.  The CB Gold Board considered the possibility of conducting an initial public offering or entering into a business combination with a public company to provide its shareholders with greater liquidity.
 
Management of First Source and CB Gold began informal discussions with respect to a possible business combination between the two companies on January 6, 2010.  On January 7, 2010, First Source and CB Gold entered into a confidentiality agreement, and thereafter continued discussions regarding the terms of a potential transaction. CB Gold and First Source began to exchange information about each other to facilitate their respective due diligence investigations.
 
First Source and CB Gold entered into a binding letter agreement dated February 26, 2010 which set forth the principal terms of the proposed business combination between the two companies.  The letter agreement contemplated that it would be replaced by a definitive agreement.
 
On April 20, 2010, the CB Gold Board unanimously resolved to approve the Amalgamation, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals and the fulfilment of other conditions, and authorized CB Gold to enter into the Amalgamation Agreement.
 
On April 20, 2010, the First Source Board unanimously resolved to approve the Amalgamation, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals and the fulfilment of other conditions, and authorized First Source to enter into the Amalgamation Agreement.
 
CB Gold and First Source executed a definitive amalgamation agreement on April 20, 2010.  At that time, directors, officers and certain shareholders of First Source holding First Source Shares representing, in the aggregate,
 

 
 

 
22

 
approximately 52% of the total number of issued and outstanding First Source Shares executed Lock-Up Agreements with CB Gold.  CB Gold and First Source amended and restated such amalgamation agreement on June 28, 2010 to, among other things, reflect the terms of the Subscription Receipt Offering.
 
Benefits of the Amalgamation for First Source
 
The First Source Board believes that the Amalgamation will provide a greater and more consolidated asset base in a country and area with significant exploration and development potential, a greater capitalization and greater liquidity for its shareholders, better access to capital markets and a management team with experience in the country and area in which the assets are located.
 
Benefits of the Amalgamation for CB Gold
 
The CB Gold Board believes that the Amalgamation will provide greater capitalization and greater liquidity for its shareholders, better access to capital markets for funding to advance current and future exploration, development and mining projects and an experienced management team.
 
The Amalco Board will be comprised of four nominees of CB Gold.  All of the executive officers of Amalco will be appointed by the Amalco Board.
 
First Source and CB Gold Together
 
The Amalgamation will combine the interests of First Source and CB Gold and is expected to yield benefits to the Holders of Amalco Shares, in comparison to holdings of First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, by facilitating better access to capital markets and increasing liquidity and capitalization.  Amalco will hold substantial assets in a country with significant exploration and development potential and be led by a management team with experience in that country.
 
Recommendation of the First Source Board
 
The First Source Board determined based on, among other things, the considerations noted below, that the Amalgamation is in the best interests of First Source and is fair to First Source Shareholders and unanimously recommends that First Source Shareholders vote in favour of the First Source Amalgamation Resolution.  In reaching its conclusion, the First Source Board considered, among other things, the following:
 
1.
management’s review of, and advice with respect to, the results of operations and prospects of each of First Source and CB Gold;
 
2.
the current and anticipated financial resources of Amalco;
 
3.
the securities exchange ratios provided for in the Amalgamation Agreement;
 
4.
the management team of Amalco;
 
5.
the greater liquidity for First Source Shareholders expected to result from the completion of the Amalgamation;
 
6.
the potential for enhanced access to capital markets expected to result from the completion of the Amalgamation;
 
7.

First Source Shareholder Approval of the Sale of the LDP Property
 
If the First Source Amalgamation Resolution is not approved at the First Source Meeting, the following matter, being the approval of the sale of the LDP Property, will be withdrawn and will not be considered at the First Source Meeting.
 
Subject to approval of the First Source Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution.
 
In September 2009, First Source received results and a corresponding geological report in connection with exploration work at the LDP Property completed during the 2009 season.  Based on the results of the exploration work, the report concluded that the economic exploration potential of the LDP Property is limited, but noted that the exploration potential of untested geophysical conductors remains unknown and recommended that all previous work results (from First Source and others) should be compiled and integrated before any future decisions are made.
 
After consideration of the results of the exploration work on the LDP Property to date and the availability of capital resources to First Source, the First Source Board has determined that it is in the best interests of First Source to amalgamate with CB Gold pursuant to the Amalgamation and dispose of the LDP Property to enable Amalco to streamline its asset base and focus on prospective properties in Colombia where the skills and experience of Amalco’s management team have particular relevance.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, First Source is required to sell its interest in the LDP Property, effective immediately prior to the completion of the Amalgamation.  On April 20, 2010, First Source entered into an agreement with ASPM Inc. (the “LDP Sale Agreement”), as amended on June 7, 2010, pursuant to which First Source has agreed to sell the LDP Property to ASPM Inc. for nominal consideration and the assumption by ASPM Inc. of all liabilities in relation to the LDP Property.  In addition, under the LDP Sale Agreement, ASPM Inc. has provided an indemnity to First Source, CB Gold, Amalco and Amalco’s directors, officers, employees and shareholders in relation to any such liabilities.  The sale by First Source of the LDP Property is conditional upon First Source Shareholders approving the First Source Amalgamation Resolution and the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution and the completion of the Transaction.
 
The sale of the LDP Property constitutes a disposition of all or substantially all of First Source’s undertaking which must be authorized by a special resolution of First Source’s Shareholders pursuant to Section 301(1)(b) of the BCBCA.
 

 
 

 
34

 
The First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution authorizing and approving the sale of the LDP Property must be passed, with or without variation, by two-thirds of all votes cast with respect to such resolution by First Source Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the First Source Meeting.
 
The management designees of First Source in the accompanying instrument of proxy intend to vote for the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution.
 
First Source Shareholder and CB Gold Shareholder Approval of Amalco Stock Option Plan
 
If the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution are not approved at the First Source Meeting or the CB Gold Meeting, respectively, the following matter, being the approval of the Amalco Stock Option Plan, will be withdrawn and will not be considered at the First Source Meeting and the CB Gold Meeting.
 
Subject to approval of the First Source Amalgamation Resolution and the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Shareholders and the CB Gold Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the First Source Stock Option Plan Resolution and the CB Gold Stock Option Plan Resolution, respectively, and to authorize the Amalco Board to make any amendments thereto that may be required for the purpose of obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals.  Pursuant to the First Source Stock Option Plan Resolution and the CB Gold Stock Option Plan Resolution, the Amalco Stock Option Plan (a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix “C”) will be approved and adopted as the stock option plan for Amalco.  If the Amalco Stock Option Plan is approved, the Amalco Options will be subject to the terms of the Amalco Stock Option Plan.
 
As at the date of this Circular, there are 400,032 First Source Options outstanding pursuant to the First Source Stock Option Plan which will be exchanged for 101,814 Amalco Options pursuant to the Amalgamation.  As at the date of this Circular, there are 3,545,000 CB Gold Options outstanding pursuant to the CB Gold Stock Option Plan which will be exchanged for a total of 3,545,000 Amalco Options pursuant to the Amalgamation. See “Part III:  Information Concerning First Source - Statement of Executive Compensation” and “Part IV:  Information Concerning CB Gold - Statement of Executive Compensation”.
 
The Amalco Stock Option Plan and the CB Gold Stock Option Plan are substantively identical.  For a summary of the CB Gold Stock Option Plan, and by extension, the Amalco Stock Option Plan, see “Part III:  Information Concerning CB Gold - Stock Option Plan and Options to Purchase Securities”.
 
Pursuant to the requirements of the TSXV, the approval of the Amalco Stock Option Plan requires the approval by First Source Shareholders of the First Source Stock Option Plan Resolution, with or without variation, by a majority of all votes cast with respect to such resolution by First Source Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the First Source Meeting and the approval by CB Gold Shareholders of the CB Gold Stock Option Plan Resolution, with or without variation, by a majority of all votes cast with respect to such resolution by CB Gold Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the CB Gold Meeting.
 
The management designees of First Source and CB Gold in the accompanying instruments of proxy intend to vote for the First Source Stock Option Plan Resolution and the CB Gold Stock Option Plan Resolution, respectively.
 
Securities Laws Matters
 
Canadian Securities Laws
 
The Amalco Shares to be issued in exchange for CB Gold Shares and First Source Shares pursuant to the Amalgamation as of the Effective Date and the Amalco Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Amalco Convertible Securities will be issued in reliance on exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.
 
Amalco Shares will generally be “freely tradable” (other than as a result of any “control person” restrictions which may arise by virtue of ownership thereof and subject to customary restrictions of general application) under
 

 
 

 
35

 
applicable Canadian securities laws.  See “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco – Escrowed and Pooled Securities”.
 
All Holders of Amalco Securities are urged to consult their legal advisor to ensure that the resale of their Amalco Securities complies with applicable securities legislation.  Holders of Amalco Securities residing elsewhere than in Canada are urged to consult their legal advisor to determine the extent of all applicable resale provisions.  Holders of Amalco Securities residing in the United States should also see “Part I: Securities Law Matters – U.S. Securities Laws”.
 
U.S. Securities Laws
 
The Amalco Securities to be issued to holders of First Source Securities and CB Gold Securities pursuant to the Amalgamation have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and are being distributed pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 802 thereunder.  The Amalco Securities will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act to the same extent and proportion that the First Source Securities and CB Gold Securities exchanged by a First Source Securityholder or CB Gold Securityholder, as applicable, in the Amalgamation were also “restricted securities”.  Accordingly, any Amalco Securities issued in the Amalgamation in exchange for First Source Securities or CB Gold Securities that bear a U.S. Securities Act restrictive legend shall also bear a U.S. Securities Act restrictive legend. In addition, Amalco Securities issued to persons who are affiliates of Amalco may be resold only outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, pursuant to a subsequent registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act or in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act. In general, an affiliate for this purpose is an officer or director of Amalco or a shareholder who beneficially owns more than 10% of the outstanding Amalco Securities.
 
Regulatory Approvals and TSXV Listing
 
It is a condition to the completion of the Amalgamation that requisite regulatory approvals be obtained prior to the Effective Date.  It is anticipated that First Source and CB Gold will have made application to all applicable regulatory authorities prior to the Effective Date in order to obtain all approvals required with respect to the Amalgamation.  There is no guarantee that approvals from the required regulatory authorities will be obtained on a timely basis or on terms and conditions satisfactory to First Source and CB Gold.
 
Additionally, it is a condition to the completion of the Amalgamation that the TSXV approve the transactions contemplated by the Amalgamation Agreement, including the issuance by Amalco of all Amalco Securities pursuant to the Amalgamation and that the TSXV conditionally approve the listing of the Amalco Shares to be issued pursuant to the Amalgamation as of the Effective Date and the Amalco Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Amalco Convertible Securities.
 
An application has been made to the TSXV by First Source and CB Gold to have the Amalco Shares to be issued pursuant to the Amalgamation and the Amalco Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Amalco Convertible Securities (including Amalco Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Amalco Agent Warrants underlying the Amalco Agent Compensation Options) listed on the TSXV.  Listing of the Amalco Shares on the TSXV will be subject to Amalco meeting the original listing requirements of the TSXV.  An application has been made to the TSXV by First Source and CB Gold for approval of the Transaction, including the listing of the Amalco Shares issued in connection with the Transaction.  There is no assurance, however, that such approval will be obtained or that all of the conditions required by the TSXV will be met and that the Amalco Shares will be listed on the TSXV or on any other stock exchange.  See “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco - Risks Relating to Amalco’s Business and an Investment in Amalco’s Securities.
 
Lock-Up Agreements
 
CB Gold has obtained Lock-Up Agreements from each of the directors, officers and certain shareholders of First Source (the “Locked-Up Shareholders”), pursuant to which the Locked-Up Shareholders have agreed, among other things, to irrevocably vote the First Source Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly, or over which they exercise control or direction, in favour of the First Source Amalgamation Resolution and to otherwise support the Amalgamation.
 

 
 

 
36

 
The obligations of Locked-Up Shareholders under the Lock-Up Agreements will terminate in the event of the termination of the Amalgamation Agreement in accordance with its terms.  The Lock-Up Agreements may also be terminated by CB Gold or the Locked-Up Shareholders in certain other circumstances.  As of April 20, 2010, the Locked-Up Shareholders held approximately 52% of the total number of issued and outstanding First Source Shares.
 
Effective Date of the Amalgamation
 
It is anticipated that the Amalgamation will become effective shortly after the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals have been obtained and all other conditions to the Amalgamation have been satisfied or waived.  As at the date hereof, it is anticipated that the Amalgamation will become effective on or about August 6, 2010.
 
Exchange of Share Certificates
 
Upon completion of the Amalgamation, First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will be deemed to be Holders of Amalco Shares as of the Effective Date and former registered First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders will be entered into the register of Holders of Amalco Shares without further act or formality.  The First Source Letter of Transmittal and the CB Gold Letter of Transmittal, as applicable, to be used to exchange certificates representing First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, as applicable, for certificates representing Amalco Shares is enclosed with this Circular.  The First Source Letter of Transmittal and the CB Gold Letter of Transmittal contain complete instructions on how First Source Shareholders or CB Gold Shareholders are to exchange their certificates representing First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, as applicable. Registered First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) should read and follow these instructions.  The First Source Letter of Transmittal and the CB Gold Letter of Transmittal, when properly completed, executed and returned together with a certificate or certificates representing First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, as applicable, and all other required documents, will enable each registered First Source Shareholder or CB Gold Shareholder (other than Dissenting Shareholders) to obtain the certificates representing the number of Amalco Shares to which he or she is entitled under the Amalgamation.
 
Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations
 
CB Gold Securityholders and First Source Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors about the applicable Canadian or United States federal, provincial, state and local tax consequences of the Amalgamation.
 
Certain Canadian Feneral Income Tax Considerations
 
In the opinion of Lawson Lundell LLP, counsel to CB Gold, the following summary fairly presents the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations of the Amalgamation generally applicable to First Source Shareholders, CB Gold Shareholders and Holders of First Source Options and CB Gold Options who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) deal at arm’s length with both First Source and CB Gold, (ii) are not affiliated with either First Source or CB Gold, (iii) acquired their CB Gold Options or First Source Options in connection with their employment by First Source or CB Gold, and (iv) hold their First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares as capital property and will hold their Amalco Shares as capital property.  First Source Shares, CB Gold Shares and Amalco Shares will generally be considered capital property to a Holder unless the Holder holds such shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or has acquired such shares in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade.
 
First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders who are resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and whose First Source Shares, CB Gold Shares or Amalco Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may be entitled to make the irrevocable election provided by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have such shares and every “Canadian security” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such holder in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years deemed to be capital property.  That election will not apply to First Source Options or CB Gold Options.
 
This summary does not apply to a First Source Shareholder or CB Gold Shareholder that is a “financial institution”, a “specified financial institution” or an interest in which would be a tax shelter investment, all as defined in the Tax Act.
 

 
 

 
37

 
This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”), and counsel’s understanding of the current published administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) as of the date hereof.  This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations which have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”).  However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all.  Except for the Proposed Amendments, this summary does not otherwise take into  account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, or changes in the administrative practices of the CRA.  This summary also does not take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ from the Canadian federal income tax considerations summarized herein.
 
This summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice or representations to any particular Holder.  Accordingly, First Source Shareholders, CB Gold Shareholders and Holders of First Source Options or CB Gold Options should consult their own tax advisors for advice regarding the income tax consequences of the Amalgamation having regard to their particular circumstances.
 
This summary is not applicable to a First Source Shareholder or a CB Gold Shareholder who acquired their First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, as the case may be, pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option and any such Holder should consult their tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Amalgamation.  In addition, Holders of First Source Options or CB Gold Options who exercise their First Source Options or CB Gold Options prior to the Effective Date may be subject to income tax consequences arising on such exercise which are not addressed in this summary and which may be relevant to their decision as to whether to exercise their First Source Options or CB Gold Options prior to the Effective Date.  Holders of First Source Options or CB Gold Options who are considering the exercise of their First Source Options or CB Gold Options should consult their tax advisor to determine the tax consequences to them of such exercise.
 
First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders will receive Amalco Shares in consideration for their First Source Shares and CB Gold Shares on the Amalgamation.  This summary does not discuss the possible utilization by a CB Gold Shareholder of his or her lifetime capital gains deduction prior to the Amalgamation.  Amalco Shares will not be shares of a “small business corporation” nor of a “qualified small business corporation”.  CB Gold Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with regard to their own particular circumstances.
 
Holders Resident in Canada
 
The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a First Source Shareholder, a CB Gold Shareholder and a Holder of either First Source Options or CB Gold Options who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax convention, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada.
 
Amalgamation
 
A First Source Shareholder or a CB Gold Shareholder who receives Amalco Shares as consideration for First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, as the case may be, on the Amalgamation will realize neither a capital gain nor a capital loss as a result of the Amalgamation.  Such a First Source Shareholder and CB Gold Shareholder will be considered to have disposed of his or her First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, as the case may be, for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base of his or her First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares immediately before the Amalgamation and to have acquired the Amalco Shares at an aggregate cost equal to such proceeds of disposition.  For the purpose of determining at any time the adjusted cost base of Amalco Shares acquired on the Amalgamation, the cost of such Amalco Shares must be averaged with the adjusted cost base to the Holder of all other Amalco Shares held as capital property by the Holder at that time.
 
Exchange of Options
 
A Holder of First Source Options or a holder of CB Gold Options who exchanges his or her options for Amalco Options on the Amalgamation will be deemed not to have disposed of the applicable options as a result of the exchange and will realize neither income nor loss as a result of such exchange, provided the only consideration received by the Holder on the exchange of an option is an Amalco Option and the “in the money” value of the
 

 
 

 
38

 
Amalco Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the “in the money” value of the applicable Option before the exchange.  Further, the Amalco Option received upon that exchange will be deemed to be the same as, and a continuation of, the relevant First Source Option or CB Gold Option.
 
Disposition of Amalco Shares
 
A Holder who disposes of Amalco Shares will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition thereof, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of such Amalco Shares to such Holder.  The income tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed below under the subheading “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.
 
Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses
 
One-half of capital gains will be taxable capital gains which must be included in income and one-half of capital losses will be allowable capital losses that must be deducted against taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition.  Subject to the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act, any unused allowable capital loss may be applied to reduce net taxable capital gains realized by the holder in the three preceding and in all subsequent taxation years.  Recognition of capital losses otherwise realized may be denied in various circumstances set out in the Tax Act.  The amount of any capital loss realized by a corporate holder on a disposition of shares held by such holder may be reduced by the amount of dividends received, if any, or deemed to be received on the shares, to the extent and under the circumstances provided in the Tax Act.  Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns the shares or where a trust or partnership of which a corporation is a beneficiary or a member, respectively, is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns the shares.
 
A Holder that is a Canadian-controlled private corporation throughout the relevant taxation year may be subject to an additional refundable tax of 6⅔% on taxable capital gains.  This additional tax will be refunded to the Holder at the rate of $1 for every $3 of taxable dividends paid while it is a private corporation.
 
Where the Holder is an individual or a trust the realization of a capital gain may result in a liability for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.
 
Dissenting Resident Shareholders
 
The tax treatment of payments received as a result of the exercise of such dissent rights will depend upon whether the payment for such shares is made by Amalco, First Source or CB Gold.
 
A Dissenting Shareholder who receives from Amalco a payment in an amount equal to the fair value of the Dissenting Shareholder’s First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, respectively, will be considered to have disposed of such shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount received by the Dissenting Shareholder (less the amount of any interest awarded by a court in respect of such payment).  Such a disposition by a Dissenting Shareholder will generally result in a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Dissenting Shareholder of those shares immediately before the disposition.  The income tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed above under the subheading “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.
 
A resident Dissenting Shareholder who receives a cash payment (other than interest) from First Source or CB Gold in exchange for the cancellation of his or her First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, respectively, is deemed to have received a dividend in an amount equal to the amount by which the payment exceeds the paid-up capital (as defined in the Tax Act, “PUC”) of the shares.  If the PUC of the cancelled shares exceeds (or is less than) the Dissenting Shareholder’s adjusted cost base of the shares, the Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the difference. The income tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed above under the subheading “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.
 
A resident Dissenting Shareholder who receives interest on such payment including interest awarded by a court will be required to include the full amount of such interest in the Dissenting Shareholder’s income.
 

 
 

 
39

 
Holders Not Resident in Canada
 
The following summary is generally applicable to a First Source Shareholder or a CB Gold Shareholder who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax convention, is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, and who does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares in carrying on a business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Shareholder”).  Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a non-resident that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere.  This summary is not applicable to Holders of First Source Options or CB Gold Options who are not a resident of Canada and any such Holders should consult their own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Amalgamation.
 
Amalgamation
 
A Non-Resident Shareholder who receives Amalco Shares in consideration for First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares on the Amalgamation will generally be subject to the same tax consequences as a Canadian resident holder on the Amalgamation, as discussed above under the subheading “Holders Residents of Canada - Amalgamation”. Accordingly, a Non-Resident Shareholder who receives Amalco Shares in consideration for First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares on the Amalgamation will generally realize neither a capital gain nor a capital loss.
 
If First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares held by a Non-Resident Shareholder constitute taxable Canadian property to the Holder, the Amalco Shares received on the Amalgamation in exchange for such First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, as the case may be, will be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to the Non-Resident Shareholder.
 
Dispositions of Amalco Shares
 
A Non-Resident Shareholder who disposes of Amalco Shares received on the Amalgamation as consideration for First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any gain arising on the disposition of such shares unless such shares constitute taxable Canadian property of the holder for the purposes of the Tax Act and the gain is not exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable tax treaty.  In general, shares of a Canadian resident corporation, such as Amalco Shares, will constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Shareholder if more than 50% of the fair market value of the shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act), timber resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act) or an option, an interest or right in such properties.  In addition, shares of a Canadian resident corporation that are listed on a designated stock exchange, such as a First Source Share or Amalco Share, will be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder if the Holder, persons with whom the Holder does not deal at arm’s length, or the Holder together with such persons, has owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the issuing corporation at any time within the 60 month period immediately preceding the particular time.  The Tax Act also contains certain provisions which may deem the shares of a corporation that are not otherwise taxable Canadian property to be taxable Canadian property in certain circumstances - such as when such shares are received upon an amalgamation in consideration of shares of a corporation that are taxable Canadian property or upon the conversion of shares that are taxable Canadian property.
 
Generally, dispositions of taxable Canadian property by a Non-Resident Shareholder will give rise to a taxable capital gain or allowable capital loss computed in the same manner described above under the subheading “Holders Resident in Canada - Disposition of Amalco Shares” and taxed in the manner described above in respect of Canadian resident Holders under the subheading “Holders Resident in Canada - Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.
 
Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors in respect of the applicability of the provisions of any income tax convention and the obligations of and consequences to a Non-Resident Shareholder in respect of the notice and withholding provisions contained in section 116 of the Tax Act.
 
A Non-Resident Shareholder is required to file a Canadian income tax return reporting the disposition of any taxable Canadian property for the year of disposition even if the disposition is not subject to Canadian income tax.
 

 
 

 
40

 
Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholders
 
A Non-Resident Shareholder who is a Dissenting Shareholder and who receives from Amalco a cash payment (other than interest) in exchange for such Non-Resident Shareholder’s First Source Shares will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of such disposition of First Source Shares, provided such shares do not constitute taxable Canadian property of the Non-Resident Shareholder.  See the above discussion under the subheading “Dispositions of Property” for a general discussion on when shares of a corporation will be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder and the tax consequences applicable to dispositions thereof.
 
A Non-Resident Shareholder who is a Dissenting Shareholder and who receives from Amalco a cash payment (other than interest) in exchange for such Non-Resident Shareholder’s CB Gold Shares will be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of such disposition of CB Gold Shares as described in the above discussion under the subheading “Dispositions of Property” since such shares constitute taxable Canadian property to Non-Resident Shareholders.
 
A Dissenting Shareholder who receives a cash payment (other than interest) from First Source or CB Gold in exchange for the cancellation of his or her First Source Shares or CB Gold Shares, respectively, is deemed to have received a dividend in an amount equal to the amount by which the payment exceeds the PUC of the shares. Deemed dividends are subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, unless the rate is reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax convention.  If the PUC of the cancelled shares exceeds (or is less than) the Dissenting Shareholder’s adjusted cost base of the shares, the Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the difference.  If such shares constitute taxable Canadian property to the Holder, the Holder will be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of such disposition as described in the above discussion under the subheading “Dispositions of Property”.
 
Any interest paid to a Non-Resident Shareholder consequent upon the exercise of his or her dissent rights will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.
 
Non-Resident Shareholders who are contemplating exercising their dissent rights should consult their own tax advisors.
 
Non-Canadian Income Tax Considerations
 
This Circular does not contain a summary of the income tax consequences of the Amalgamation on First Source Securityholders or CB Gold Securityholders who are subject to income tax outside of Canada.  Such Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax implications of the Amalgamation, including any associated filing requirements, in such jurisdictions.
 
Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights
 
Section 238 of the BCBCA entitles a shareholder whose common shares are registered in the name of the shareholder on the shareholder register of CB Gold or First Source, as applicable, to dissent and be paid the fair value of his or her common shares if such registered shareholder objects to the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution (in the case of registered CB Gold Shareholders) or the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution (in the case of registered First Source Shareholders), by complying with the steps set forth in sections 238 through 247 inclusive of the BCBCA.
 
The following is a summary of the provisions of sections 238 through 247 of the BCBCA (which are attached as Appendix “H” to this Circular) and does not purport to provide a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a registered shareholder who wishes to dissent and seek payment of the fair value of his or her common shares.  Sections 238 through 247 of the BCBCA requires adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all dissent rights.  Accordingly, each registered shareholder who intends to exercise his or her dissent rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of that section and consult his or her legal advisor.

Notice of Dissent
 
A registered shareholder intending to dissent (the “Dissenting Shareholder”) in respect of the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution, as the case may be, must send, in the case of (i) CB Gold, to the Corporate Secretary care of Computershare Investor Services Inc., 4th Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia  V6C 3B9, Attention: Dawn Wattie; or (ii) First Source, to the Corporate Secretary care of #600 – 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3V7, Attention: Michael Raven, so as to be received at least two days before the CB Gold Meeting or First Source Meeting, respectively, a written notice of dissent (a “Notice of Dissent”) to the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution, as the case may be.  In order to dissent, a Dissenting Shareholder must not vote his or her common shares in favour of the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution, as the case may be.  A vote against the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution, an abstention or the execution or exercise of a proxy to vote against the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution does not constitute a Notice of Dissent, but a shareholder need not vote his or her common shares against the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution in order to dissent.
 
Form of Notice
 
The Notice of Dissent must set out the number (and the class, if applicable) of common shares in respect of which dissent is being exercised under the Notice of Dissent (the “Notice Shares”).  In addition, the Notice of Dissent must set out the identity of the person on whose behalf dissent is being exercised and in particular, must set out whichever of the following is applicable:
 
1.
if the Notice Shares constitute all of the common shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered owner and beneficial owner and the Dissenting Shareholder owns no other common shares as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect;
 
2.
if the Notice Shares constitute all of the common shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered owner and beneficial owner but the Dissenting Shareholder owns other common shares as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect and
 
 
(a)
the names of the registered owners of those other common shares;
 
 
(b)
the number (and the class, if applicable) of those other common shares that are held by each of those registered owners; and
 
 
(c)
a statement that Notices of Dissent are being, or have been, sent in respect of all of those other common shares.
 
3.
if dissent is being exercised by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a statement to that effect and
 
 
(a)
the name and address of the beneficial owner; and
 
 
(b)
a statement that the Dissenting Shareholder is dissenting in relation to all of the common shares beneficially owned by the beneficial owner that are registered in the Dissenting Shareholder's name.
 
Notice of Intention to Proceed
 
On receipt of a Notice of Dissent, CB Gold, First Source or Amalco, as applicble (“Dissentco”) will promptly send a notice (a “Notice of Intention to Proceed”) to each Dissenting Shareholder (i) stating that it intends to act, or has acted, on the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution or the First
 

 
 

 
42

Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution, as the case may be; and (ii) advising of the manner in which dissent is to be completed.
 
A Dissenting Shareholder who has received a Notice of Intention to Proceed and who wishes to proceed with the dissent, must, within one month after the date of the Notice of Intention to Proceed, send, in the case of: (i) CB Gold, to the Corporate Secretary care of Computershare Investor Services Inc., 4th Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia  V6C 3B9, Attention: Dawn Wattie; or (ii) First Source, to the Corporate Secretary care of #600 – 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3V7, Attention: Michael Raven, the following:
 
1.
a written statement that the Dissenting Shareholder requires Dissentco to purchase all of the Notice Shares;
 
2.
the certificates, if any, representing the Notice Shares; and
 
3.
if the dissent is being exercised by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a written statement signed by the beneficial owner on whose behalf dissent is being exercised setting out whether or not the beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of other common shares and, if so, setting out:
 
 
(a)
the names of the registered owners of those other common shares;
 
 
(b)
the number (and the class, if applicable) of those other common shares that are held by each of those registered owners; and
 
 
(c)
that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of those other common shares.
 
After the Dissenting Shareholder has complied with items 1 and 2 above (and item 3, if applicable), the Dissenting Shareholder is deemed to have sold to Dissentco the Notice Shares and Dissentco is deemed to have purchased those Notice Shares.
 
Payout Value
 
If Dissentco and the Dissenting Shareholder have agreed on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares, Dissentco must promptly pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder.  Alternatively, in the event the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares has not yet been agreed to, either the Dissenting Shareholder or Dissentco may apply to the court and the court may determine the payout value of the Notice Shares or order that the payout value of those Notice Shares be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar, or a referee, of the court and make consequential orders and give directions it considers appropriate.
 
Prompt Payment
 
Promptly after a determination of the payout value for the Notice Shares has been made, Dissentco must pay to each Dissenting Shareholder the payout value applicable to that Dissenting Shareholder's Notice Shares.  Alternatively, in the event that there are reasonable grounds for believing that Dissentco is insolvent or the payout would render Dissentco insolvent, Dissentco will promptly send a notice to the Dissenting Shareholder that Dissentco is unable lawfully to pay Dissenting Shareholders for their Notice Shares.  If a Dissenting Shareholder receives such a notice, the Dissenting Shareholder may, within 30 days after receipt of such notice, withdraw his or her Notice of Dissent or, if the Dissenting Shareholder does not withdraw his or her Notice of Dissent within such period, the Dissenting Shareholder will retain a status as a claimant against Dissentco to be paid as soon as Dissentco is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of Dissentco but in priority to its shareholders.
 

 
 

 
43

 
Termination of Dissent Rights
 
The right of a Dissenting Shareholder to dissent with respect to his or her Notice Shares terminates and ceases to apply to the Dissenting Shareholder with respect to his or her Notice Shares if, before the payment of the payout value of the Notice Shares is made to the Dissenting Shareholder, any of the following events occur:
 
1.
the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution, or the matter contemplated thereby, as applicable, is abandoned, does not pass, is revoked, does not proceed or is set aside by a court;
 
2.
with respect to the Notice Shares, the Dissenting Shareholder consents to or votes in favour of the CB Gold Amalgamation Resolution, the First Source Amalgamation Resolution or the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution, as the case may be;
 
3.
the Notice of Dissent is withdrawn with the written consent of Dissentco; or
 
4.
the court determines that the Dissenting Shareholder is not entitled to dissent or that the Dissenting Shareholder is not entitled to dissent with respect to the Notice Shares.
 
The above is only a summary of the provisions of BCBCA regarding dissent rights which are technical and complex.  It is recommended that any CB Gold Shareholder or First Source Shareholder wishing to avail himself or herself of his or her right of dissent seek his or her own legal advice as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the statute may prejudice his or her right of dissent.

PART II:  INFORMATION CONCERNING FIRST SOURCE
 
Corporate Structure
 
First Source was incorporated under the BCBCA on October 20, 2005.  First Source’s business address is 600-1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3V7, and the registered and records office of First Source is located at #1601-700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1G8.
 
First Source has no subsidiaries and does not hold securities in any corporation, partnership, trust or other corporate entity.
 
General Development of the Business
 
First Source is a mineral exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.  First Source currently has an interest in and explores one gold/copper property in the Gaspé region of Quebec, known as Lac des Pics (the “LDP Property”).
 
First Source acquired a 100% interest in the LDP Property from ASPM Inc. and certain other parties (collectively, the “ASPM Group”) pursuant to an agreement with the ASPM Group dated March 8, 2007 (the “LDP Agreement”) whereby First Source agreed, over three years, to make cash payments of a total of $75,000, issue 750,000 common shares of First Source to the ASPM Group and incur $750,000 in exploration expenditures on the LDP Property.  As of the date hereof, First Source has made cash payments totalling $75,000, issued 750,000 common shares to the ASPM Group and incurred approximately $787,000 in exploration expenditures on the LDP Property.
 
A technical report pursuant to NI 43-101 was completed in relation to the LDP Property on June 7, 2007 and updated on September 30, 2007 (the “LDP Technical Report”).  The LDP Technical Report recommended that First Source conduct two successive phases of work on the LDP Property:  Phase I comprising exploration expenditures of approximately $200,000 and Phase II, if required, representing exploration expenditures of approximately $300,000, for a cumulative total budget of approximately $500,000.  First Source has completed the Phase I work program and commenced Phase II, having spent approximately $787,000 to date exploring the LDP Property.
 
In September 2009, First Source received results and a corresponding geological report in connection with exploration work completed during the 2009 season.  Based on the results of the exploration work, the report concluded that the economic exploration potential of the LDP Property is limited, but noted that the exploration potential of untested geophysical conductors remains unknown and recommended that all previous work results (from First Source and others) should be compiled and integrated before any future decisions are made.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, First Source is required to sell its interest in the LDP Property, effective immediately prior to the completion of the Amalgamation.  First Source has entered into the LDP Sale Agreement pursuant to which First Source has agreed to sell the LDP Property to ASPM Inc. for nominal consideration and the assumption by ASPM Inc. of all liabilities in relation to the LDP Property.  In addition, under the LDP Sale Agreement, ASPM Inc. has provided an indemnity to First Source, CB Gold, Amalco and the directors, officers, employees and shareholders of Amalco in relation to any such liabilities.  The sale by First Source of the LDP Property is conditional upon First Source Shareholders approving the First Source Extraordinary Sale Resolution and the completion of the Transaction.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Named Executive Officers
 
For the purposes of this Circular, a Named Executive Officer (“Named Executive Officer”) means each of the following individuals:
 
(a)
a chief executive officer (“CEO”);
 
(b)
a chief financial officer (“CFO”);
 
(c)
each of the Company’s three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year; and
 
(d)
each individual who would be a Named Executive Officer under paragraph (c) above but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.
 
For the year ended July 31, 2009, First Source had the following three Named Executive Officers:
 
1.
Peter Smith (President and Chairman, acting in the capacity of CEO);
 
2.
Douglas Smith (CFO); and
 
3.
Michael Raven (Company Secretary).
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
First Source’s policy regarding compensation of the executive officers of First Source is to provide reasonable salary levels and compensation incentives that support the short-term, mid-term and long-term goals of First Source and attract and retain suitable and qualified executive management.
 
The First Source Board has not formed a compensation committee.  Rather, compensation matters regarding First Source’s directors and management are considered, discussed and determined by the full board without reference to
 

 
 

 
47

formal objectives, criteria and analysis.  Interested directors abstain from voting with respect to compensation matters that they have an interest in.
 
In 2009, management was compensated by salaries or fees which were set by the First Source Board.  Members of management had also received stock options in previous years.  Remuneration levels were determined by taking into account each executive’s experience level and qualifications, the scope and complexity of the position held, and salaries being paid for similar positions at other Canadian companies of similar size to First Source.  To enable First Source to preserve cash, management agreed to defer payment of most of the remuneration beginning in January 2009.  As of April 15, 2010, all such deferred remunerations were paid in full.  Peter Smith, First Source’s President, Chairman and a director, accrued a salary of $60,000 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 and $30,000 in the six month period ended January 31, 2010; Douglas Smith (no relation to Peter Smith), First Source’s Chief Financial Officer, accrued fees of $18,000 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 and $9,000 in the six month period ended January 31, 2010; and Michael Raven, First Source’s Corporate Secretary, accrued fees of $24,000 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 and $12,000 in the six month period ended January 31, 2010.
 
Options are issued under First Source’s 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “First Source Stock Option Plan”), which is described below under “Incentive Awards – Description of 2007 Stock Option Plan”.  As of the date of this Information Circular, 400,032 options are issued and outstanding under the First Source Stock Option Plan.
 
The number of options to be granted under the First Source Stock Option Plan to First Source’s executive officers (as well as other directors, employees and consultants of First Source) is determined by considering the number of options available in First Source’s option pool, the position, qualifications and contributions to First Source’s success of each option recipient, previous grants (if any) of option-based awards, and option grants made by other Canadian companies of similar size to First Source.
 
Summary Compensation Table
 
The following table sets forth all annual and long term compensation for services in all capacities to First Source for the three most recently completed financial years that end on or after December 31, 2008 and the six-month period ended January 31, 2010 in respect of each of the Named Executive Officers:

Incentive Plan Awards
 
Description of 2007 Stock Option Plan
 
The First Source Stock Option Plan was approved by the First Source Board on June 1, 2007.  The key features of the First Source Stock Option Plan are as follows:
 
 
·
the maximum number of common shares issuable under the First Source Stock Option Plan shall not exceed 10% of the number of the First Source Shares issued and outstanding as of each award date, inclusive of all common shares reserved for issuance pursuant to previously granted stock options;
 
 
·
the options have a maximum term of five years from date of issue;
 
 
·
the options vest as determined by the First Source Board;
 
 
·
the exercise price of options granted under the First Source Stock Option Plan will be as determined by the First Source Board;
 
 
·
the total number of options awarded to any one option holder in any 12-month period shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding the First Source Shares at the award date;
 
 
·
the total number of options awarded to any one consultant in any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding First Source Shares at the award date; and
 
 
·
the total number of options awarded to all employees and consultants who perform investor relations activities for First Source shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding First Source Shares, in any 12-month period, calculated at the award date.
 
In the event an option holder ceases to be a director of First Source, other than by reason of death or ceasing to meet the qualifications of a director under the BCBCA, such option holder’s options shall expire on the 90th day following the date on which the option holder ceases to be a director.  In the event an option holder ceases to be employed by First Source, other than by reason of death or termination for cause, such option holder’s options shall expire on the 30th day following the date on which the option holder ceases to be an employee of First Source.
 
The First Source Board has the power to, at any time and from time to time and subject to approval of the TSXV where applicable, either prospectively or retrospectively, amend, suspend or terminate the First Source Stock Option Plan or any option granted under the First Source Stock Option Plan, including changes of a clerical or grammatical nature, changes regarding the persons eligible to participate in the First Source Stock Option Plan, changes to the exercise price of options, changes to the term of options, changes regarding the right to exercise options after termination and changes regarding the vesting of options.
 
The First Source Stock Option Plan may be terminated or suspended at any time by resolution of the First Source Board, but any such termination or suspension will not affect or prejudice rights of participants holding options at that time.  If the First Source Stock Option Plan is terminated, the provisions of the First Source Stock Option Plan and any administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations adopted by the First Source Board and in force on the date of termination will continue in effect as long as any option or any rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding and, notwithstanding the termination of the First Source Stock Option Plan, the First Source Board may make such amendments to the First Source Stock Option Plan or the options as they would have been entitled to make if the First Source Stock Option Plan were still in effect.
 
The First Source Stock Option Plan is a “rolling” stock option plan under TSXV Policy 4.4 – Incentive Stock Options, as under the First Source Stock Option Plan, First Source is authorized to grant stock options of up to 10% of the issued and outstanding First Source Shares at the time of the stock option grant, from time to time.  As of the date hereof, options to purchase an aggregate of 400,032 First Source Shares, representing approximately 3.9% of the issued and outstanding First Source Shares, are outstanding under the First Source Stock Option Plan.  This leaves options to purchase an aggregate of 623,063 First Source Shares, representing approximately 6.1% of the issued and outstanding First Source Shares, available for issuance under the First Source Stock Option Plan.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE
 
Name and Incorporation
 
CB Gold was incorporated on May 11, 2009 under the BCBCA as 0851695 B.C. Ltd. and changed its name to “CB Gold Inc.” on May 22, 2009.
 
The head office of CB Gold is located at 907-1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2Y3, and the registered and records office of CB Gold is located at 14417 Blackburn Crescent, White Rock, British Columbia V4B 3A3.
 
CB Gold is not a reporting issuer and none of its securities are listed on a stock exchange.
 
Intercorporate Relationships
 
CB Gold has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Cedar Business Investment Ltd. (“Cedar”), and Cedar has one wholly owned subsidiary, Leyhat Corporation (“Leyhat”).  Both Cedar and Leyhat are incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and were acquired by CB Gold on July 20, 2009.
 
Leyhat has one registered branch in Colombia, Leyhat Colombia Sucursal (“Leyhat Sucursal”), which holds CB Gold’s interest in the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project.  The Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project are collectively referred to as the “Colombia Projects”.
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
 
General Development
 
History
 
CB Gold is engaged in the business of mineral exploration in Colombia, South America.  Its objective is to locate and develop properties of merit, with a focus on precious metals such as gold and silver.  CB Gold currently holds rights to explore and develop two exploration properties in Colombia totalling approximately 67, 000 hectares.  CB Gold’s principal focus is on the Norte de Santander Gold Project.  See “Part III:  Information Concerning CB Gold – Properties of CB Gold – Norte de Santander Gold Project”.
 
On July 24, 2009, CB Gold acquired two British Virgin Island companies, Cedar and its wholly owned subsidiary, Leyhat.  Leyhat also established Leyhat Sucursal as a branch in Colombia on that date.
 
On February 4, 2010, CB Gold authorized the establishment of the CB Gold Stock Option Plan.
 
On February 26, 2010, CB Gold entered into a letter agreement with First Source which set out the intention of CB Gold to complete a merger with First Source by way of a reverse take-over of First Source under the policies of the TSXV.  On April 20, 2010, CB Gold entered into the Amalgamation Agreement with First Source to complete the Transaction.
 
CB Gold is currently assessing the potential to produce a small amount of mineralised ore from existing operations at the Vetas Gold Project.  This will be dependent on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, safety, environmental capital and operating cost issues, permitting requirements, the availability of labour and equipment and the longer term business objectives of CB Gold.  Additionally, CB Gold is currently involved in the acquisition of properties at, and the exploration and development of, its Colombia Projects.

Significant Acquisitions
 
Norte de Santander Gold Project
 
On May 25, 2009, CB Gold entered into a letter of intent (the “May Letter of Intent”) with Camilo Rodriguez Triana and Micoldex Ltda. (“Micoldex”) regarding the acquisition of certain mineral assets in the Norte de Santander district of Colombia.  On July 20, 2009, CB Gold entered into a second letter of intent with Camilo Rodriguez Triana and Micoldex regarding the commercial terms of the acquisition of those mineral assets.
 
On September 2, 2009, CB Gold and Leyhat entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Camilo Rodriguez Triana and Micoldex (the “PSA”).  Pursuant to the PSA, CB Gold acquired rights in 44 concessions and applications distributed over more than 70,000 hectares in the Norte de Santander district (the “Concessions”).  The total purchase price is US$542,000 and the issuance of 575,000 Class B Common shares of CB Gold, payable in four tranches.  As at the date of this Circular, CB Gold has paid US$202,000, issued 575,000 Class B Common shares of CB Gold and completed the transfer of four Concessions under the name of Leyhat Sucursal.  See “Part III:  Information Concerning CB Gold - Properties of CB Gold - Norte de Santander Gold Project - Purchase and Sale Agreement” and “Part IV: Information Concerning Amalco – Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and Holding the Amalco Securities - Failure to obtain remaining concessions comprising the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project”.
 
Under the terms of the PSA, if CB Gold publishes a NI 43-101 compliant technical report disclosing measured and indicated resources within three years of the date of acquisition, CB Gold is required to make an additional payment to the vendors of the Concessions of US$3.00 per measured or indicated ounce of gold is payable up to an aggregate amount not to exceed US$6,000,000.
 
CB Gold expects to complete the transfer of the Concessions into the name of Leyhat Sucursal in the period from June to December 2010.  CB Gold will continue with the geochemical sampling exploration program and analysis started in 2009.  Under the terms of the PSA, CB Gold will attempt to define at least three targets that warrant drill hole testing in order to evaluate the potential for economic quantities of mineral resources.
 
The Norte de Santander Report, a NI 43-101 compliant technical report was prepared and finalized by Scott Wilson RPA on April 20, 2010.
 
Vetas Gold Project
 
On October 10, 2009, CB Gold authorized Leyhat Sucursal on its behalf to enter into option agreements to acquire mineral assets in the Vetas district and enter into service contracts and purchase supplies on behalf of CB Gold.  In the period from October 2009 to April 2010, Leyhat Sucursal, on behalf of CB Gold, executed twelve exclusivity option agreements regarding the Real Minera, S. Bartolo and S. Antonio, La Vereda, Los Delirios, La Peter, El Dorado, Santa Isabel, Arias, La Providenica, Potosi and Agua de Paramo concession areas.  These comprise 12 out of the 15 most significant contiguous mining properties in the Vetas district for approximately 915 hectares.  The aggregate exclusivity option cost of the properties under the option agreements is approximately US$290,000 and 900,000,000 Colombian pesos.
 
In the period from February through April 2010, Leyhat Sucursal, on behalf of CB Gold, entered into acquisition offers on the Real Minera, Santa Isabel, La Peter, El Dorado and Los Delirios properties.  The aggregate consideration payable for purchasing the properties under the acquisition offers is US$8,000,000 and the issuance of 6,750,000 Class B Common shares of CB Gold.
 
On April 19, 2010, following the terms of the signed acquisition offer, Leyhat Sucursal signed a purchase and sale agreement with the shareholders of Real Minera Ltda whereby CB Gold has purchased the Real Minera concession area.  As consideration, CB Gold paid US$2,000,000 and issued 1,750,004 common shares of CB Gold to the title holders upon registration of the concession area under the name of Leyhat Sucursal.  On May 21, 2010, the concession area was transferred by the competent Mining Authority (Ingeominas Bucramanga) to Leyhat Sucursal. Leyhat obtained the certificate of the mining registry license on June 10, 2010.

On May 21, 2010, following the terms of the signed acquisition offer, Leyhat Sucursal signed a purchase and sale agreement with the shareholders of La Peter Ltda whereby CB Gold has purchased the La Peter and Santa Isabel concession areas.  As consideration, CB Gold has agreed to pay an aggregate of US$3,000,000 and issue 3,000,000 Class B Common shares of CB Gold to the title holders of both areas upon registration by the National Mining Registry of the concession areas under the name of Leyhat Sucursal.  Leyhat Sucursal is currently in the process of obtaining the transfer of the mining titles under its name.  CB Gold expects to acquire the remaining properties currently under exclusive option agreements at the Vetas Gold Project by November 24, 2010.  See “Part IV: Information Concerning Amalco – Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and Holding the Amalco Securities - Failure to obtain remaining concessions comprising the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project”.  CB Gold will also conduct geophysical survey programs and drill a number of exploratory holes into the priority exploration targets which will be selected based on their potential to contain resources.
 
CB Gold is currently assessing the potential to produce a small amount of mineralised ore from the existing operations at the Vetas Gold Project.  This will be dependent on numerous factors, including but not limited to, safety, environmental, capital and operating cost issues, permitting requirements, the availability of labour and equipment and the longer term business objectives of CB Gold.
 
The Vetas Report, a NI 43-101 compliant technical report, was prepared and finalized by Scott Wilson RPA on May 7, 2010.
 
Narrative Description of the Business
 
Business Objectives
 
CB Gold’s overall strategy is to position itself as an emerging mid-tier Colombian gold producer with the aim of developing a mining operation producing 100,000 ounces of gold annually with a pipeline of potential producing assets following closely thereafter.
 
To that end, CB Gold’s principal objectives are to:
 
 
·
continue the exploration programs at the Norte de Santander Gold Project in 2010 (see “Part III:  Information Concerning CB Gold – Properties of CB Gold – Norte de Santander Gold Project”);
     
 
·
continue the exploration program at the Vetas Gold Project, including drilling in 2010 (see “Part III:  Information Concerning CB Gold – Properties of CB Gold – Vetas Gold Project”); and
     
 
·
expand its potential resource base through focussed exploration of existing properties and the acquisition of prospective new projects.

CB Gold will continue to identify, investigate and, where appropriate, acquire property interests in Colombia through direct application to government authorities, joint venture activities or acquisition from existing holders.  As part of this process, CB Gold will undertake early-stage exploration activities to ensure an orderly and steady advancement of exploration targets.
 
CB Gold’s current interests in the Colombia Projects are its only significant assets.  The Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project currently have no defined mineral resources or mineral reserves.  Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation might not be able to overcome.  See “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco – Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and an Investment in Amalco Securities”.
 
Financing
 
In a financing completed on June 2, 2009, CB Gold’s founders, Fabio Capponi and Giles Baynham purchased an aggregate of 35,005,200 Class A Common shares of CB Gold at a price of $0.002857 per share for aggregate proceeds of approximately $100,000.
 

 
 

 
56

 
Upon execution of the May Letter of Intent, CB Gold initiated a second round of financing whereby CB Gold entered into an agency agreement with Raymond James Ltd. (“Raymond James”) dated June 5, 2009 to distribute up to 8,000,000 Class B Common shares at a price of $0.05 per share pursuant to private place exemptions from the registration and prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.  An aggregate of $555,000 was raised from the issuance of 11,100,000 Class B Common shares.  CB Gold issued 560,000 Class B Common shares to Raymond James and paid Raymond James a cash fee of $6,320 and a corporate finance fee of $10,000 for its services in connection with the financing.
 
In anticipation of the closing of the property acquisitions under the PSA, CB Gold initiated a third round of financing whereby CB Gold entered into an agency agreement with Raymond James dated August 24, 2009 to distribute 6,666,666 Class B Common shares at a price of $0.30 per share pursuant to private placement exemptions.  CB Gold agreed to pay Raymond James a cash payment of 1% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of shares upon closing and to issue to Raymond James 6% of the number of Class B Common shares placed by Raymond James on closing.  CB Gold also agreed to pay a finder’s fee of 6% payable in CB Gold Shares to certain individuals for services provided by them in connection with this third round of financing.  The share issuance for this financing was completed on October 22, 2009 and an aggregate of $3,033,520 was raised from the issuance of 10,111,732 Class B Common shares. Raymond James was paid a cash fee of $31,318 and issued 410,300 Class B Common shares.  CB Gold also issued an additional 10,000 Class B Common shares to a shareholder for the equivalent of $3,000 worth of services rendered.
 
On February 24, 2010, CB Gold initiated a fourth round of financing to raise an additional private placement of $5,000,000.  CB Gold entered into an agreement with certain individuals to assist in this fourth round of financing for a commission of 6% in CB Gold Shares on the amount of the placement distributed.  An aggregate of $4,762,223 was raised from the issuance of 9,524,446 Class B Common shares at a price of $0.50 per share.  Certain individuals were issued 601,200 Class B Common shares as a finder’s fee with respect to this financing.
 
On May 5, 2010, CB Gold entered into the Engagement Agreement with GMP in connection with the Subscription Receipt Offering.  Under the Subscription Receipt Offering, as provided in the Engagement Agreement, CB Gold will issue up to 53,666,666 Subscription Receipts for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $40,250,000 (including up to 7,000,000 Subscription Receipts for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,250,000 under an over-allotment option granted to the Agents pursuant to the Engagement Agreement). The Engagement Agreement provides that the issue price will be $0.75 per Subscription Receipt.
 
Upon closing of the Subscription Receipt Offering, expected to occur on or about July 9, 2010, the proceeds from the Subscription Receipt Offering, less the commission payable to the Agents, will be placed in escrow with Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Subscription Receipt Agent”), and will be released from escrow upon the receipt by the Subscription Receipt Agent of a joint notice from GMP, on behalf of the Agents, and CB Gold confirming that the following conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions”) have been satisfied:
 
(i)
the completion of the Amalgamation;
   
(ii)
the receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals (including without limitation, the conditional approval of the TSXV) for the Amalgamation and the listing of the Amalco Shares on the TSXV pursuant to the Amalgamation; and
   
(iii)
the Amalco Shares and Amalco Financing Warrants to be issued on satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions will not be subject to any statutory or other hold period in Canada.

Upon delivery of such notice to the Subscription Receipt Agent, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration, for one Amalco Share and one-half of one Amalco Financing Warrant.
 
Under the terms of the Subscription Receipt Offering as contemplated by the Engagement Agreement, the Agents are entitled to a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Subscription Receipt Offering.  As additional consideration for the services of the Agents, CB Gold will grant to the Agents a number of CB Gold Agent Compensation Options equal to 6% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Subscription Receipt Offering, which will be exchanged for Amalco Agent Compensation Options under the Amalgamation.
 

 
 

 
57


Subject to TSXV approval, each Amalco Agent Compensation Option will be exercisable at an exercise price of $0.75 for the acquisition of one Amalco Share and one-half of one Amalco Agent Warrant for a period of time commencing on the date of listing of the Amalco Shares on the TSXV and continuing 18 months thereafter.  Each whole Amalco Agent Warrant will be exercisable for a period of two years following the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions for the purchase of one Amalco Share at a price of $1.10.
 
It is expected that the Engagement Agreement will be superseded by an agency agreement to be executed by CB Gold, First Source and the Agents.  The terms of the Subscription Receipt Offering may be amended in such agency agreement if required by market conditions.
 
Specialized Skill and Knowledge
 
Most aspects of CB Gold’s business require specialized skills and knowledge. Such skills and knowledge include the areas of geology, exploration and development, environmental issues and accounting.  CB Gold has a number of employees with extensive experience in mining, geology, exploration and business development in Colombia.
 
Business Cycle
 
CB Gold is an exploration corporation, currently focused on gold. As a result, gold prices can have a direct impact on CB Gold’s business.  Declining gold prices will generally affect operations by negatively impacting the economics of projects assessed under higher prevailing prices.  See the risk factors entitled “Currency Risk” and “Fluctuation in Mineral Prices” in “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco – Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and Investment in Amalco Securities”.
 
Environmental Protection
 
The operations of CB Gold are primarily located within Colombia and are subject to Colombian laws and regulations concerning the environment.  CB Gold is required to submit and adhere to environmental plans lodged in relation to all its licence areas.  The financial and operational effects of environmental protection requirements on capital expenditures, earnings and the competitive position of CB Gold are not expected to be material during the current financial year.  However, environmental protection requirements may cause additional capital expenditures, reduce earnings and affect the competitive position of CB Gold in the future.
 
Environmental Policies
 
CB Gold seeks to conduct its activities in accordance with the highest environmental standards by complying in all material respects with all environmental laws, policies, regulations and plan, conducting extensive on going environmental operations, keeping environmental impacts of its operations to a minimum and rectifying or rehabilitating those impacts that necessarily occur as part of it operations.  See “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco - Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and an Investment in Amalco Securities - Government Regulations and Environmental Concerns”.
 
Personnel
 
As at December 31, 2009, CB Gold had no employees and five consultants actively involved in the conduct of its business.
 
As at the date of this Circular, CB Gold had one employee and four consultants actively involved in the conduct of its business.  In addition, CB Gold uses the services of consultants and advisors as needed with respect to legal matters, insurance, accounting, taxation, specialist technical disciplines and management of Colombian risks.
 
Foreign Operations
 
CB Gold’s projects are located in Colombia and, as such, are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in a foreign jurisdiction.  See “Part IV:  Information
 

 
 

 
58


Concerning Amalco - Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and an Investment in Amalco Securities - Political and economic uncertainties in Colombia”.
 
Competitive Conditions
 
CB Gold’s mineral exploration business is competitive with other entities engaged in the same business.  CB Gold competes with a number of other entities in the search for and the acquisition of mineral properties.  As a result of this competition, the majority of which is with companies with greater financial resources than CB Gold, CB Gold may be unable to acquire attractive properties in the future on terms it considers acceptable.  CB Gold also competes for financing with other resource companies, most of which have greater financial resources and/or more advanced properties.  There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to CB Gold.  See “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco - Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and an Investment in Amalco Securities - Competition from other exploration companies”.
 
Doing Business in Colombia
 
Regulatory
 
In Colombia, except for limited exceptions, all mineral rights are the property of the government of Colombia. Obtaining a mining right does not transfer ownership of the mineral estate, but creates a temporary right to explore and benefit from minerals in exchange for royalty payments so long as the mining title remains in good standing.
 
Under Colombian mining law, foreign individuals and corporations have the same rights as Colombian individuals and corporations and Colombian governmental regulatory bodies are specifically prohibited from imposing any additional or different requirements than would be required of a Colombian individual or corporation.  However, foreign companies will have to constitute a branch, subsidiary or affiliate in Colombia before they may be granted a concession contract.
 
Mineral property rights are governed by Decree 2655 of 1988 (the “1988 Mining Code”) and by Law 685 of 2001 (the “2001 Mining Code”) which was modified by Law 1382 of 2010 (the “2010 Code Amendment”).  Under Colombian mining law, the holder of surface or subsurface minerals, whether operating on government or private property, is subject to the legal requirements established under the 1988 Mining Code and the 2001 Mining Code.  The 1988 Mining Code is applied only to those licences granted during the period it was in effect and prior to the effective date of the 2001 Mining Code.  It is also applied to those applications made during its pendency but still under administrative proceeding when the 2001 Mining Code came into force, where the applicant did not request to be subject to the new regulation.
 
The 1988 Mining Code establishes four types of mining title: permits, exploration licenses, exploitation licenses and concession contracts.  An exploration license grants the holder the exclusive right to perform, in a prescribed area, work directed to identifying commercially exploitable mineral deposits and reserves.  There are three types of exploration licenses: small, medium and large mining activity licenses. The type of exploration license is determined by the anticipated volume or tonnage of materials to be extracted from the mine to be developed on the property.  During the term of the exploration license, reports on work performed on the property must be filed with the Ministry of Mines and Energy.  The Ministry of Mines and Energy subsequently makes a definitive project classification based on the information field.  The Ministry of Mines and Energy has the right to reclassify the project every five years during the exploration phase.  There is a maximum size area for each type of exploration license.  The term of an exploration license is determined by the area covered as follows:
 
 
Original Area
Type
Term
Extension
 
           
 
Up to 100 hectares
Small
1 year
1 year
 
           
 
100 hectares up to 1,000 hectares
Medium
2 years

1,000 hectares or more
Large

N/A

On expiry of an exploration license for small mining activity and any extensions thereof, the license can be converted, on compliance with prescribed conditions, into an exploitation license.  An exploitation license has a term of ten years.  On its expiry, the holder can apply for a ten year extension or conversion of the license into a concession contract.  On expiry of an exploration license for medium and large mining activities and any extensions thereof, the license is required to be converted to a mining concession in compliance with prescribed conditions.  There are two types of mining contracts: concession contracts issued by the Ministry of Mines and Energy and those contracts issued by entities to which the Ministry of Mines and Energy has assigned its rights.  A concession contract gives the holder the exclusive right to extract certain minerals and conduct the activities necessary for exploitation, transport and shipment of the same.  Concession contracts have a term of 30 years.
 
In June 2001, the 2001 Mining Code was enacted which simplifies and streamlines procedures for concessions.  The separation of concessions into three different levels for small, medium and large mining activities no longer exists.  There is now only one title which, once issued, has a duration of 30 years which can be extended a further 30 years and further first rights for subsequent periods of 30 years.
 
The 2010 Code Amendment was enacted on February 9, 2010 and modified the 2001 Mining Code in connection with concession contracts and concession contract extension requests.  Under the 2010 Code Amendment, concession contracts may be extended for a maximum of 20 years.  With respect to concession contract extension requests, (i) the title holder must file new technical, economical, environmental and social studies for the area that demonstrate the actual status of the mineral deposits; (iii) the terms and conditions for the concession contract extension may be negotiated and the economic obligations under the concession may be modified; and (iv) the concession contract extension is not automatic and will only be granted if it proves to benefit national interests.
 
Furthermore, the 2010 Code Amendment eliminated the first refusal rights for subsequent concession contracts.  The terms established in the 2010 Code Amendment apply only to those concession agreements which have been granted after February 9, 2010.
 
Under the 2001 Mining Code, the first 30 year period is divided into three phases.  First there is an exploration phase of three years with a further two year extension.  The 2010 Code Amendment modified this term and provided that this phase could be extended to a total of 11 years for exploration.  This is followed by a construction phase of three years with a further one year extension.  During this construction phase, mining may be performed provided such activities are undertaken with all necessary permits and comply with the applicable laws and regulation.  The exploitation phase covers the remaining term.  To obtain the requisite permits to explore and mine, the necessary environmental plans and report studies need to be presented and approved. Companies were permitted to elect to maintain existing claims under the 1988 Mining Code or elect to comply with the 2001 Mining Code.
 
Environmental
 
Mining companies in Colombia are subject to the authority of the Ministry of the Environment, the Regional Autonomous Corporations (the "CAR") and certain municipalities and metropolitan districts. However, the National Code of Renewable Natural Resources and Environmental Protection forms the basis of environmental policy in Colombia and there is an interest in preserving natural resources from development activities.  The 2001 Mining Code requires an environmental mining insurance policy for each concession contract.  In addition, this provision requires that an environmental impact study (an "EIA") and a Works and Construction Plan (a "PTO") be presented at the end of the exploration phase.  The EIA must be approved and an environmental license issued before the construction and exploitation phases can begin.
 
Although environmental licenses may include many of the necessary permits and concessions for the construction and mining activities, certain additional permits, including water concession, a forest use permit, a certificate of vehicular emissions, an emissions permit and a river course occupation permit may be required if not included with the environmental license.
 
Exploration activities do not require an environmental license however they must be performed in accordance with the Mining and Environmental Guides issued by the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the Ministry of Environment.
 

 
 

 
60


 
Where renewable natural resources are used during exploration, the title holder must request from the relevant CAR, the corresponding concession, permit or license.
 
As discussed above, an EIA must be submitted before an environmental licence is issued.  The EIA has to demonstrate the environmental feasibility of the PTO.  Without approval of this study and the issuance of the corresponding environmental licence, construction and exploitation cannot commence.
 
The 2001 Mining Code and Decree 1220 of 2005 deal with the issuance of the required environmental licences for mining titles.  Once an EIA has been submitted, the law provides that the issuance of the required environmental licences can only be refused when:
 
 
(a)
the EIA does not comply with the requirements of the 2001 Mining Code and specifically those foreseen in the terms of reference and/or guides, established by the competent environmental authority;
     
 
(b)
the EIA has errors or omissions that cannot be corrected by the applicant and that are required components of such study;
     
 
(c)
the level of prevention, mitigation, correction, compensation and substitution for the negative impacts of the mining project prescribed in the EIA, do not comply with the substantial elements established for such effects in the guidelines; or
     
 
(d)
the omissions, errors or deficiencies of the EIA and of the proposed measures referred to in the previous subsections, affect the total mining project.

As noted above, the 2001 Mining Code also requires a concession contract holder to obtain an environmental mining insurance policy.  During the exploration stage, the insured value under the policy must be 5% of the value of the planned annual exploration expenditures and during the construction phase the insured value under the policy must be 5% of the planned investment for assembly and construction.  During the exploitation phase, the insured value under the policy must be 10% of the product of the estimated annual production multiplied by the mine mouth pit price of the minerals being produced, as fixed annually by the Colombian government.  The 2010 Code Amendment included the possibility to substitute the mining insurance policy with a real security provided that such security ensures the fulfillment of the mining and environmental obligations, the payment of fines and the cancellation of the concession contract.
 
For licences or agreements to be maintained under the 1988 Mining Code, the holder is required to obtain an insurance policy for 10% of the estimated production value for the first two years as established by the title holder on the works and investments plan (the “PTI”).  Further, the insurance policy must be maintained during the entire term of the licence or agreement.
 
Where there is a breach of environmental laws, an affected third party or the government may initiate judicial action against a polluting entity, including actions for protection of civil rights, civil liability lawsuits, class actions, group actions, executive or police measures and criminal filings.  Environmental laws are a matter of public interest and are not subject to settlement.  Historically, environmental authorities have taken a relaxed approach in the enforcement of environmental regulations. Recently, growing concern with respect to the environmental sustainability of projects, undertakings and industrial activities has resulted in increased enforcement and prosecution.  Sanctions include daily penalties, suspension or revocation of the license, concession, permit, or authorization, temporary or final closure of the establishment, work demolition at the cost of the infringer and confiscation of products or implements used to commit an infringement.
 
Under the 2001 Mining Code and 2010 Code Amendment, there are certain areas that are excluded from mining activities.  These areas include national natural parks, regional natural parks, forest reserves, moor lands and wetlands included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance.  Of these five areas, only forest reserves will be subject to area subtraction (a process of applying to have an area removed from the forest reserve) for mining development.  Concessions currently under construction or in exploitation phases in moor lands and wetland areas, after the enactment of the 2010 Code Amendment, may continue to operate until their term expires even if they are considered as excluded from mining.  Their term, however, will not be extended or renewed.

Taxes and Royalties
 
There are various government fees and royalties payable by mining titleholders.  During the exploration and construction phases, the holder of a concession contract must pay a surface royalty equivalent to one Colombian minimum daily wage per hectare per year for areas up to 2,000 hectares, two minimum daily wages per hectare per year for areas of 2,000 to 5,000 hectares and three minimum daily wages per hectare per year for areas of 5,000 to 10,000 hectares.  This surface royalty must be paid in advance annuities from the date of execution of the concession contract to the commencement of the exploitation phase.  Concession agreements granted after the enactment of the 2010 Code Amendment will have to pay a surface royalty equivalent to one Colombian minimum daily wage per hectare per year for the first five years of exploration under the concession contract.  Thereafter, the surface royalty for exploration shall increase every two additional years as follows: 1.25 Colombian minimum daily wages per hectare per year for years six and seven; and, 1.50 Colombian minimum daily wages per hectare per year for year eight.  For the construction phase, the title holder will have to pay a surface royalty at the same rate that it paid during the last year of exploration.
 
Under the 2010 Code Amendment, the first surface payment will have to be made within three days following the notification of the application holder of the administrative procedure, whereby the mining authority determines the available area for the concession that has been applied for.  This means that the first payment is due before the concession agreement is signed, whereas under the 2001 Mining Code, the surface payment is due after the execution of the concession agreement.  Failing to comply with this payment will result in rejection of the application.
 
As provided by the 2010 Code Amendment, the amount paid for the first surface payment will be refunded if the requested area overlaps with other areas in total or in part.  If the overlap is partial and the title holder accepts the available area, the refund will be prorated to the accepted area.  Also, there will be a refund if the relevant environmental authorities deny the subtraction of the forest reserve area (where applicable).
 
The applications that are currently in process and the existing concessions that have not yet made the first surface payment, must make a surface payment before May 9, 2010.  Failure to do so will result in the rejection of the application or cancellation of the concession agreement.
 
A royalty is payable at an effective rate of 4% of the gross value of the minerals calculated at the mine mouth for gold, subject to certain deductions and gross adjustments.  The value per gram of gold and silver at mine mouth for the estimation of royalties will be 80% of the average international price for the previous month, as published by the London Metal Exchange.
 
Under the 2001 Mining Code, Colombian staff of a mining company, as a whole, should comprise of not less than 70% of the value of total payroll of qualified or skilled personnel in upper management or senior level staff and no less than 80% of the value of total payroll of the entry and mid-level staff.  Upon prior authorization, relief may be granted by the Ministry of Labour for a specified time to allow specialized training for Colombian personnel.
 
Surface Rights and Surface Tenure
 
Colombian law provides that mining titles do not grant their holder any surface rights.  However, provided that mining has been declared a public interest activity, if the title holder does not reach an agreement with the surface right owner, it may request the mayor of the municipality where the property is located to impose a mining easement over the real state property.  Mining easements may be established for the efficient exercise of the mining industry in all its phases and stages including transport and beneficiation and may extend to areas outside of the mining title.  Mining easements are, unless otherwise determined by the parties, established for the same term as the concession it benefits.
 
Colombian law provides that the compensation payable to the surface owner is to be based on the reasonable fair market value of the land and is not to include any value attributable to the development of the “mineral wealth” and that it should only be for so much of the surface as is actually affected, consumed or occupied by the exploration or mining activity.  Should the use of the surface affect the value of areas, not subject to the easement, this loss of value will also be taken into account when fixing the remuneration payable to the land owners.

Furthermore, it is also possible for the concessionaire to request from the competent mining authority the expropriation of the lands necessary for mining activities.  The acquisition of land through expropriation is also subject to prior indemnification to the owner(s).
 
Properties of CB Gold
 
Norte de Santander Gold Project
 
Unless otherwise stated, the information that follows relating to the Norte de Santander Gold Project is derived from, and in some instances is an extract from, the Norte de Santander Report, prepared by Hrayr Agnerian, geologist of Scott Wilson RPA.  Hrayr Agnerian is a “qualified person” and “independent” of CB Gold as such terms are defined in NI 43-101.
 
Property Description and Location
 
Property Status
 
The Norte de Santander Gold Project is at an early stage of exploration. Several areas have received some regional reconnaissance, such as geochemical stream sediment and lithogeochemical sampling in the past by Ingeominas (the Colombian institution related to the Ministry of Mines and Energy which is responsible for geological and mining research and development), and recently by CB Gold. CB Gold is in the process of acquiring a 100% interest in the property from Micoldex, a private company registered in Colombia.  The property consists of forty-four mineral concessions covering a total area of approximately 72,805 hectares in north eastern Colombia.  Micoldex acquired some of the mineral concessions and has applied for others by map staking and, by ministerial approval, by the Government of the Department of Norte de Santander or by Ingeominas.  The list of the concessions is provided in Table 1.
 
On December 11, 2009, the First Group Concessions were transferred to Leyhat Sucursal, as follows:
 
 
·
concessions JKA-16411 (area 111) and JJV-16481 (area 102) were transferred from Dra. Sandra Ines Rozo Barragán, the title holder, to Leyhat Sucursal;
     
 
·
concession JJR-16281 (area 47) was transferred from Rosa Cristina Sandoval Castillo to Leyhat Sucursal; and
     
 
·
concession JKB-11351 (area 107) was transferred from Mr. Camilo Rodriguez Triana, on behalf of Micoldex, to Leyhat Sucursal.

Location
 
The Norte de Santander Gold Project is located approximately 400 kilometres north of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, in the Departments of Norte de Santander and Cesar (Figure 1).  The vast property lies within an area of moderate to high relief, ranging from 200 metres to 500 metres, and the elevation in the area ranges from 1,500 metres to 2,000 metres above mean sea level.
 
Purchase and Sale Agreement
 
On September 2, 2009, CB Gold, Camilo Rodriguez Triana, Micoldex and Leyhat entered into the PSA whereby Micoldex granted CB Gold the right to earn a 100% interest in various concessions representing the Norte de Santander Gold Project in exchange for payment of an aggregate amount of US$542,000 and the issuance of 575,000 shares in the capital of CB Gold.
 
Under the PSA, CB Gold has agreed to make payments for the transfer of properties as follows:
 

 
 

 
63


 
 
·
Tranche One:  On signing of the PSA, a cash payment of US$100,000 and the issuance of 275,000 Class “B” Common shares of CB Gold. Tranche One refers to the First Group of 18 concessions covering a total area of approximately 25,762 hectares;
     
 
·
Tranche Two:  A cash payment of US$102,000 and the issuance of 300,000 Class “B” Common shares of CB Gold, upon receiving 23 concessions covering a total area of approximately 42,552 hectares;
     
 
·
Tranche Three:  A cash payment of US$48,000, upon receiving three concessions covering a total area of approximately 4,490 hectares; and
     
 
·
Tranche Four:  A cash payment of US$292,000, upon receiving all the concessions duly registered under the name of CB Gold, or its Colombian subsidiary, and upon delivering the certification of the concessions to CB Gold.

CB Gold has also agreed to make additional payments to Micoldex, depending on the success of exploration on the properties, as follows:
 
 
·
A cash payment of US$200,000 if at least three concessions are deemed to have exploration targets with sufficient potential for drilling within 12 months of the execution of the PSA; and
     
 
·
A royalty of US$3/ounce gold for contained ounces in NI 43-101-compliant measured and indicated mineral resources as estimated within three years of the PSA.  The royalty is capped at US$6,000,000.

In July 2009, Mr. William Villamizar Laguardo, Governor of the Department of Norte de Santander, granted certain concession agreements to individuals listed below:
 
 
·
July 9, 2009: to Sra. Rosa Cristina Sandoval Castillo, the registered title holder of Concession Agreement No. JJR-16281, covering an area of 2,000 hectares located in La Playa and Hacari, Department of Norte de Santander;
     
 
·
July 14, 2009: to Sra. Sandra Inés Rozo Barragán, the registered title holder of Concession Agreement No. JKA-16411, covering an area of 2,000 hectares located in Bucarasica, Department of Norte de Santander;
     
 
·
July 14, 2009: to Sra. Sandra Inés Rozo Barragán, the registered title holder of Concession Agreement No. JJV-16481, covering an area of 2,000 hectares and 84 square metres located in Abrego, Sardinata, and Bucarasica, Department of Norte de Santander; and
     
 
·
July 9, 2009: to Ing. Camilo Rodriguez Triana, in his capacity as the legal representative of Micoldex, the registered title holder of Concession Agreement No. JKB-11351, covering an area of 2,000 hectares located in Ocaña, Department of Norte de Santander.

The terms of these concession agreements allow the title holder:
 
 
·
to carry out technical exploration and economic exploitation of gold and associated minerals in the respective areas; and
     
 
·
to register the concession agreement for a term of 30 years. Before the expiration of 30 years, the title holder may apply for an extension of another 30 years, after which the title holder will have the first priority to negotiate a new concession agreement over the same area.

Scott Wilson RPA understands that all payments regarding the above concession agreements have been made and the relevant properties are is in good standing according to applicable Colombian mining laws.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography
 
Access to the Norte de Santander Gold Project area is by road (Figure 2).  There is regular commercial air service (by Avianca and other airlines) from Bogotá to Bucaramanga, the capital of the Department of Norte de Santander.  From Bucaramanga, the property is accessed via the Central Highway (which leads to the Caribbean Coast) and another paved highway to Ocaña, a city of approximately 120,000 inhabitants.  The project area includes several towns and villages, such as Teorama Convención, with populations ranging from 10,000 to 17,000.  Access to the various concessions in Groups 1, 2 and 3 is from Ocaña via gravel roads.  Access to the concessions of Group 4 is by the paved highway from Ocaña to Cucutá (a city near the border with Venezuela) and by gravel roads.  Access to many parts of the property may be available by trails or by mules.  Supplies and heavy equipment are brought to the communities by trucks.
 
The climate in northeastern Colombia is tropical to temperate, with little difference in seasonal temperature.  There are two wet seasons, from March to April and from October to November.  The mean temperature throughout the year is 22°C and ranges from 15°C to 30°C.  The average annual precipitation ranges from 255 centimetres to 1,330 centimetres.  Exploration in the Norte de Santander area may be carried out throughout the year, although there may be heavy rains during the rainy season, which may cause flooding and temporary, short-term disruption of exploration activities and transportation of goods to the local communities.

In the mountain regions, temperature is directly related to elevation. Average temperature decreases uniformly approximately 0.6°C per 100 metres.  Popular terminology recognizes distinct temperature zones (pisos térmicos), which are sometimes referred to as tierra caliente (up to 900 metres above sea level (“masl”) in elevation), tierra templada or tierra del café (900 masl to 2,000 masl) and tierra fria (2,000 masl to 3,000 masl).
 
Local infrastructure is available at Bucaramanga, Ocaña, and nearby towns.  Infrastructure at these towns includes electrical power, cell phone network and road building equipment.  Water, both industrial and potable, is drawn from nearby streams. Diamond drilling equipment is brought from Bogotá.
 
The land in the northeastern part of Colombia, and in particular the Norte de Santander area, is used mainly for agriculture by local villagers.  The area is covered with extensive lateritic and saprolitic material, and outcrops are common only along streams or along road cuts.
 
Wildlife in the area includes various species of frogs, chiguiros (large rodents), snakes, birds (including white swan, parrots, hawk, field dove and owl) foxes, puma, ocelot (wild cat), and various species of insects, including the culona ant.
 
The area is covered with extensive lateritic and saprolitic material, and outcrops are rare except along road cuts or along streams.  Vegetation consists predominantly of fruit trees, such as banana, papaya, citrus and coffee. Overburden cover ranges from two metres to 10 metres.
 
History
 
Gold mining and production in Colombia dates back to the era of the Spanish Conquistadores in the sixteenth century.  Until the latter part of the twentieth century, gold production was predominantly from districts of the Western Cordillera, such as Zaragosa-Segovia-Remedios of the western part of the Antioquia Zone, Central Antioquia, Cauca-Romeral and others.  Some 80% of this production came from placer gold deposits, and from 1537 to 1820, 18% to 40% of total world gold production came from Colombia.  During the past few decades, production increased from vein deposits of the Vetas-California district in the Eastern Cordillera.  This led to increased exploration in the Santander Massif and to the discovery of the Angostura and La Bodega deposits.
 
Exploration for gold in northeastern Colombia was started in the 1980s by Ingeominas as part of the reconnaissance geological mapping and prospecting.  Ingeominas collected more than 3,000 stream sediment samples from the Norte de Santander region and had them analyzed for copper, molybdenum, vanadium, zinc, barium and tin at its own laboratories.  Scott William RPA understands that these regional geochemical samples were not analyzed for gold.  The region, however, is known for its mining activities and production of gold from small scale mining operations by local miners (barqueros), such as at the Vetas-California area.
 
Subsequent to the initial reconnaissance work, Ingeominas carried out lithogeochemical sampling and had the samples assayed for gold and uranium.  Results indicate values ranging from 2 grams/tonne (“g/t”) gold to 18 g/t gold in chip samples on the four sectors (Sector 1, 2, 3, and 4) of the present property, as described below. Sampling, however, was not done across defined alteration zones.
 
From the late 1990s to early 2000s, Ingeominas, in conjunction with Commission Génerale des Matières Atomiques (“Cogema”), carried out similar regional reconnaissance mapping and prospecting over a large area underlain by the Mande, Norosi, Valle Cauca, Chocó, and Putumayo batholiths in northern Colombia, with the objective of discovering uranium mineralization.  During these programs, airborne radiometric surveys, regional geological mapping and geochemical sampling were the main exploration tools for uranium exploration.  The objective of this initial phase was to obtain stratigraphic information across host lithologic units.  Cogema detected weak radiometric responses within granitic outcrops, but no significant uranium mineralization, and the program was discontinued.
 
Regional lithogeochemical sampling by Ingeominas in the early 1980s detected a number of anomalous values reported as follows:

Group 5 Concessions:  Seven anomalous values in gold, copper and uranium in silicified zones within granitic rocks near Quebrada Guamal (in Concession 13) with reported values ranging from 3 g/t gold, 6

 
 
 

 
70

 
   
parts-per-million (“ppm”) copper and 15 ppm U3O8 to 13 g/t gold, 63 ppm copper and 245 ppm U3O8.  Scott Wilson RPA is of the opinion that these reported anomalous gold values warrant follow-up work.
     
 
·
Group 4 Concessions:  Relatively little regional exploration has been carried out by Ingeominas in this group of concessions.  Nevertheless, anomalous values in gold ranging from 3 g/t gold, 3 ppm copper and 38 ppm U3O8 to 18 g/t gold, 89 ppm copper and 315 ppm U3O8 are reported in four lithogeochemical samples in Concession 51.
     
 
·
Group 2 Concessions:  Two anomalous values in gold with background values in copper and uranium (in Concession 57).  These are reported as 6 g/t gold, 12 ppm copper and 9 ppm U3O8 and 6 g/t gold, 2 ppm copper and 14 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Group 3 Concessions:  Three anomalous values in gold with background values in copper and uranium in granitic rocks.  These values range from 6 g/t gold, 4 ppm copper, and 11 ppm U3O8 to 10 g/t gold, 16 ppm copper and 223 ppm U3O8 (in Concession 105).  Scott Wilson RPA is of the opinion that these locations warrant further investigation.

In November 2007, Micoldex acquired the present concessions and launched Project MCX-001-08, commencing with a regional exploration program including periodic lithogeochemical sampling and compilation of previous results by Ingeominas over areas of the Santander Massif, which covers the Departments of Norte de Santander and Cesar.  This work is presently in progress.
 
Geological Setting
 
Regional Geology
 
The Norte de Santander Gold Project area is situated within the Santander Massif, which is located along the Eastern Cordillera in northeastern Colombia.  This area hosts a number of gold occurrences, including the Angostura deposit of Greystar Resources Ltd. (“Greystar”) and the La Bodega deposit of Ventana Gold Corp. (“Ventana”).  The area is underlain by Precambrian gneisses, Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary and granitic rocks, and Tertiary and Quaternary fluvial deposits.
 
The dominant structural feature in the area is the north-northwest trending Bucaramanga Fault in the western part of the property.  This fault also coincides with an airborne magnetic lineament.  The exploration methodology applied during recent programs by Greystar and Ventana has been to evaluate northeast to east-northeast trending splays of the Bucaramanga Fault.  These secondary structures are interpreted to be favourable hosts for gold mineralization in the area.
 
The Norte de Santander Gold Project comprises four sectors, and the lithologic units present in the area are described as follows:
 
 
·
Precambrian rocks:  These include the Bucaramanga Formation which comprises high grade metamorphic rocks, such as quartzofeldspathic gneisses, amphibolitic gneisses, migmatites and granulite facies rocks.
     
 
·
Devonian rocks:
     
   
o
Silgará Formation:  Suite of low grade metasedimentary rocks, such as phyllites, micaceous schists, micaceous quartzites and occasional metaconglomerates and metapelites.
       
   
o
Orthogneiss:  Banded rocks exhibiting metamorphic segregation.
       
   
o
Igneous rocks:  Comprising mostly dioritic to granodioritic rocks.
       
   
o
Tronadero Formation:  Comprising clastic sedimentary rocks, such as immature green and orange arkoses, green and brown shales.

 
 
 

 
71

 
   
o
Convención Formation:  Comprising banded sandstones and shales, which are intruded by the Paleozoic Ocaña Batholith.
     
 
·
Jurassic rocks:
     
   
o
Bocas Formation:  Interlayered calcareous sedimentary rocks and carbonaceous sedimentary rocks.
       
   
o
Jordán Formation:  Grey and red arkoses.
       
   
o
Giron Formation: Continental Redbeds, including red and purple sandstones, conglomerates and minor conglomerates.
       
   
o
Various intrusive rocks of granitic to quartz-monzonite composition.
     
 
·
Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, including:
     
   
o
Uribante Formation:  Crystalline and sandy limestones, and clay rich sandstones.
       
   
o
Cogollo Formation:  Black shales and fossiliferous limestones.
       
   
o
La Luna Formation:  Fossiliferous limestones (with foraminifera).
       
   
o
Colón Formation:  Fossiliferous limestones.
       
   
o
Mito Juan Formation:  Grey and green shales.
       
   
o
Catatumbo Formation:  Ferruginous shales with layers of coal.
     
 
·
Tertiary carbonaceous rocks, including black shales of the Barco Formation and Los Cuervos Formation and Algodonal Formation:  Poorly consolidated fluvial conglomerates.
     
 
·
Quaternary sediments.

Exploration work to date suggests that the gold mineralization in the project area is epigenetic in origin.  Recent interpretation of exploration data suggests that areas of silica-sericite-pyrite alteration within the granitic rocks in the Guamal area (Sector 1) have characteristics similar to the alteration assemblages present at the Vetas, La Bodega, and Angostura deposits of the Santander Massif in northeastern Colombia.
 
Local Geology
 
Since the Norte de Santander Gold Project is a large property, much of the local geology is the same as the regional geology.
 
Tectonic Setting
 
The dominant structural feature in the area is the north-northwest trending Bucaramanga Fault in the western part of the property.  This fault also coincides with an airborne magnetic lineament.  The exploration methodology applied during recent programs by Greystar and Ventana has been to evaluate northeast to east-northeast trending splays of the Bucaramanga Fault.  These secondary structures are interpreted to be favourable hosts for gold mineralization in the area.
 
A number of northeast and east trending faults, stemming from the Bucaramanga Fault, are interpreted to be present within the vast Norte de Santander Gold Project.  These structures will be investigated during the 2010 field season.
 

 
 

 
72
 
Deposit Types
 
Gold mineralization within Greystar’s Angostura Property and Ventana’s La Bodega Property is hosted by shear zones exhibiting intense silicification associated by sulphide alteration.  These deposits are commonly subvertical in shape and occur within granitic rocks, or in contact zones between intrusive rocks and sedimentary or volcanic rocks.
 
While the style of mineralization within the intrusive rocks at the Norte de Santander Gold Project is not yet known in detail, it does include some characteristics that are similar to those at Angostura and La Bodega, especially at Area 13 (Sector 1) of the property.
 
Mineralization
 
Gold mineralization in the Vetas-California district (Santander) occurs within northeast trending zones and is associated with quartz, pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite and silver.  In some deposits, uraninite is also present.  The gold deposits which are developed to date are San Celestino, El Cuatro, La Mascota, Asturias, El Diamante, Trompeteros, La Colombo, El Volcán, La Araña, and La Tosca.
 
There are no distinct mineralized zones identified within the Norte de Santander Gold Project.  Interpretation of past exploration data and results of the recent site visits, however, suggest that areas of similar geologic environment – with hydrothermal alteration and shearing – as those present at the Angostura and La Bodega gold deposits may be present on the Norte de Santander Gold Project.
 
Past exploration by Ingeominas, Cogema (AREVA), and Micoldex has identified a number of targets with anomalous gold and low grade uranium values.  These are discussed below.
 
SECTOR 1
 
Sector 1 covers the area extending from the municipalities of Convencón to Teorama to Ocaña to Rio Oro.  It includes concessions of groups 2, 4, and 5. Seven anomalous values in gold, copper and uranium in silicified zones were reported within granitic rocks near Quebrada Guamal in Area 13.  These are reported as:
 
 
·
Sample 1069: 6 g/t gold, 63 ppm copper and 62 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1070: 13 g/t gold, 5 ppm copper and 15 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1071: 8 g/t gold, 22 ppm copper and 21 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1073: 11 g/t gold, 14 ppm copper and 20 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1074: 6 g/t gold, 6 ppm copper and 34 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1075: 5 g/t gold, 43 ppm copper and 245 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1076: 3 g/t gold, 26 ppm copper and 20 ppm U3O8.

Scott Wilson RPA is of the opinion that these reported anomalous gold values warrant follow-up work.
 
SECTOR 2
 
Sector 2 covers the area extending from the municipalities of La Playa to Hacarí to San Calixto.  It includes concessions of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4.  Relatively little regional exploration has been carried out by Ingeominas in this sector.  Nevertheless, anomalous values in gold ranging from 3 g/t gold to 18 g/t gold are reported in four lithogeochemical samples, as follows:
 
 
·
Sample 1045: 6 g/t gold, 89 ppm copper and 38 ppm U3O8.

 
 
 

 
73

 
 
·
Sample 1051: 6 g/t gold, 3 ppm copper and 67 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1055: 18 g/t gold, 8 ppm copper and 315 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1056: 3 g/t gold, 3 ppm copper and 141 ppm U3O8.

During the recent site visit, these showings could not be specifically located, although they are reported to be located within the same large granitic outcrop area.  Nevertheless, they warrant further investigation, in Scott Wilson RPA’s opinion.
 
SECTOR 3
 
Sector 3 covers the area extending from Abrego to La Playa to Ocaña, and is underlain by rocks similar to those in Sector 1.  It includes concessions of groups 2, 3 and 4.  Regional exploration carried out by Ingeominas has detected two anomalous values in gold with background values in copper and uranium, as follows:
 
 
·
Sample 1058: 6 g/t gold, 12 ppm copper and 9 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1060: 6 g/t gold, 2 ppm copper and 14 ppm U3O8.

Scott Wilson RPA investigated these showings during the recent site visit and notes that they are likely expressions of mineralization at two narrow silicified zones within granitic rocks, as discussed below.  Scott Wilson RPA observed a contact zone between granitic rocks and metasedimentary rocks, some 700 metres west of the location of the above two samples, and is of the opinion that geochemical sampling and ground geophysical surveys are warranted to assess the mineral potential of the contact zone.
 
SECTOR 4
 
Sector 4 covers the areas of the municipalities of Abrego, Bucarasica, Sardinita, Villacaro, Villa Sucre, Lourdes, Gramalote, El Zulia, Salazar, Arboledas, Barrientos, Durania, Bochalema and Cucutilla in the Department of Norte de Santander.  It includes concessions of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4. Regional geochemical sampling carried out by Ingeominas has detected three anomalous values in gold with background values in copper and uranium in granitic rocks, as follows:
 
 
·
Sample 1081: 6 g/t gold, 16 ppm copper and 11 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1082: 10 g/t gold, 5 ppm copper and 223 ppm U3O8.
     
 
·
Sample 1083: 5 g/t gold, 4 ppm copper and 69 ppm U3O8.

Sample 1081 was likely collected from the same site as Scott Wilson RPA sample No. 138222, as noted in Table 2.  Scott Wilson RPA could not verify the locations of the other showings (samples 1082 and 1083) reported by Ingeominas.  Nevertheless, they warrant further investigation, in Scott Wilson RPA’s opinion.
 
Exploration
 
The historical exploration work by Ingeominas, Cogema (AREVA), and Micoldex during the late 1970s and early 1980s has been discussed under the subheading “History”, above.  Recently, CB Gold has carried out a compilation of all previous exploration data stored at Ingeominas in Bogotá.
 
In September 2009, CB Gold commenced a systematic gold exploration program including compilation of all previous exploration data by Ingeominas and Micoldex in the Norte de Santander Gold Project area, such as regional geochemical sampling results from Cogema (AREVA).  Since September 2009, CB Gold has been carrying on a program of detailed investigations of previously reported gold showings, such as lithogeochemical sampling at Concession 13 (Group 5, Sector 1), as well as evaluating other gold target areas.
 
 
 

 
74

 
Recently, CB Gold also has carried out an interpretation of satellite imagery, including discriminating areas covered with rocks containing different clay minerals, such as illite and kaolinite, as raster maps.  The objective of this program is to produce colour composites, alteration intensity maps and vectorized anomaly maps.
 
Landsat data is capable of discriminating general argillic and specific iron oxide alteration, and is therefore a valuable tool for modelling and field mapping.  The first step in the interpretation of Landsat imagery is the identification of areas containing mineral species, such as clays or jarositic iron oxides.  The next step includes identifying principal component images which contain anomalously high values for the mineral species.  Care must be taken to avoid false anomalies which may be caused by recently tilled soil, lake bottom sediments, sediment-charged rivers, clay-rich units in the local stratigraphy and terra rosa soils developed in basaltic flows.  The steps involved in the interpretation of Landsat data include the production of:
 
 
·
Composites of satellite images:  These are spatially enhanced by integrating the high resolution of certain band data.
     
 
·
Alteration intensity images of each of the clay and iron oxide minerals, as well as ratio maps of the various iron minerals.
     
 
·
Vectorized alteration anomalies.

Results of the recent interpretation of satellite imagery indicate that a regional anomaly coincides with the north-northwest trending Bucaramanga Fault.  This work is in progress.
 
Since September 2009, CB Gold has collected seventy-two lithogeochemical samples from various parts of the vast property.  In addition, CB Gold inserted six standards and four samples with the regular batches of samples and sent them to ALS Chemex Laboratories (“ALS Chemex”) in Lima, Peru, for 38-element Inductively Coupled Plasma (“ICP”) determinations, including gold and silver values.  CB Gold teams have also collected 666 samples of stream sediments from various parts of the vast property.  In addition, CB Gold inserted control samples with the regular batches of samples, as follows:
 
 
·
Three samples of a high grade standard with expected value of  greater than 10 ppm gold;
     
 
·
Nine samples of a medium grade standard with expected value of approximately 2.42 ppm gold;
     
 
·
Fifteen samples of a low grade standard with expected value of approximately 0.61 ppm gold;
     
 
·
Thirty-three blank samples.  All but one returned values of below the ICP detection limit of 0.005 ppm gold; and
     
 
·
Thirty-seven duplicate samples from various locations on the property.

CB Gold sent the original and control samples to ALS Chemex for 38-element ICP determinations, including gold and silver values, i.e., similar to the method used for lithogeochemical sampling.
 
Drilling
 
There has been no drilling carried out on the Norte de Santander Gold Project.
 
Sampling Method and Approach
 
Previous Work
 
Detailed information on sampling method and approach during the Ingeominas and Cogema (AREVA) prospecting campaigns is not available.
 

 
 

 
75
 
Recent Work
 
The methodology of lithogeochemical sampling during the 2009 prospecting program by CB Gold personnel consisted of rock chip sampling along outcrops or road cuts.  The sample locations are based on the regional interpretation, in terms of east-northeast or northeast trending structures.  The methodology of sampling stream sediments was to walk along streams and tributaries, and collect samples of silt from the bottom sediments.  Sample interval averaged approximately 26 metres within a range from 5 metres to 100 metres.  Sample weight averaged approximately 1.4 kilograms, within a range from 0.5 kilograms to 8 kilograms.
 
Sample Preparation, Analysis and Approach
 
Previous Work
 
Sample preparation, assaying and quality assurance-quality control (QA/QC) procedures used by Ingeominas, Cogema (AREV) or Micoldex are not available to Scott Wilson RPA.
 
Recent Work
 
Sampling of outcrops and road cuts was done at selected locations. Samples were sent to ALS Chemex, in Bogotá, for sample preparation and then to ALS Chemex in Lima, Peru, for gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead assays by the 30-element ICP determinations.  Details of the analytical methods at ALS Chemex are provided in Appendix B of the Norte de Santander Report.
 
Scott Wilson RPA notes that ALS Chemex is a reputable commercial laboratory, and is of the opinion that the sample preparation and analytical procedures at the ALS Chemex sample preparation laboratory at Bogotá are in keeping with industry practice.
 
Data Verification
 
Previous Work
 
During the early exploration in the area by Ingeominas and Cogema (AREVA), data verification was done by company geologists.  Data on QA/QC procedures, however, is not available.
 
Recent Work
 
During the recent prospecting campaign, data verification and quality control was done by CB Gold contract personnel.  The quality and reliability of the data obtained from the recent regional exploration program was reviewed and verified by Mr. Alberto Rios Carranza, Ph.D., Chief Geologist, and Juan Pablo Rincon Grajales, Project Geologist of CB Gold, respectively.  Scott Wilson RPA understands that Messrs. Carranza and Rincon are not Qualified Persons under the definition of NI 43-101.
 
Assay Quality and Quality Control
 
The QA/QC procedures and assay protocols followed by Ingeominas and Cogema (AREVA) in the past are not available to Scott Wilson RPA.  QA/QC procedures used by CB Gold for the recent regional exploration program include regular checks of:
 
 
·
Sample coordinates;
     
 
·
Insertions of three standards with known concentrations of gold and blanks with regular samples;
     
 
·
Collections of duplicate samples from various locations; and
     
 
·
Digital results obtained form ALS Chemex including sample numbers are ICP determinations.

 
 

 
76

The QA/QC procedures have been reviewed by Scott Wilson RPA and they are in keeping with industry standards.
 
Independent Sampling by Scott Wilson RPA
 
During the site visit from June 10 to 14, 2009, Scott Wilson RPA reviewed the Ingeominas exploration results.  As a check of previous results, Scott Wilson RPA collected a total of 17 samples in the areas of the four concessions and sent them for gold and silver assays at SGS Laboratories (“SGS”) in Toronto, Canada.  The purpose of this work was also to assess previously undetected areas of hydrothermal alteration, such as shear zones and contact zones between granitic rocks and sedimentary rocks.

Results indicate low values for gold and less than 0.3 g/t gold for all the samples collected. Scott Wilson RPA, however, cautions that due to the uncertainty of the locations of the historic samples by Ingeominas, the independent checks may not have been an accurate check of the previous results.
 
As part of its verification of field data, Scott Wilson RPA attempted to verify the locations of sampling in the past within concessions 13, 51, 57, and 106, but was unsuccessful (except for Concession 57) due to the lack of markings of sample locations, such as channels or flagging tape.
 
Each rock sample is bagged in plastic sample bags and periodically shipped from the exploration sites to Bucaramanga using contracted trucks.  From Bucaramanga, the samples are sent by road via TCC (Transportadora Comercial Colombia) to ALS Chemex in Bogota, Colombia for preparation.  The samples are dried, crushed, split and pulverized to 85% (< 75 um), with the subsequent shipping of sample pulps by ALS Chemex to their Lima, Peru

lab for geochemical analysis.  All the analyses used standard 30 g fire assay with AA finish for gold and ICP multiple geochemical elements.  Grayimetric analyses are completed for over-limit assays on gold and all silver assays are 30 g fire assay with an aqua regia finish.
 
Blanks and certified control standards are inserted into the sample on a mostly random basin resulting in a QC sample frequency of about three control standards and one blank in every 100 samples.
 
Within 20 days after the completion of the analysis, ALS Chemex in Peru delivers the preliminary and final results in Excel and Pdf version to the ALS Chemex in Bogota, Colombia, which results are then reported to Leyhat Sucursal management by e-mail and certificates.
 
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
 
There are no mineral resources or mineral reserves on the Norte de Santander Gold Project at this time, because there has been no drilling.
 
Interpretation
 
The Norte de Santander Gold Project is at an early stage of exploration.  A number of areas of anomalous concentrations of gold occur in Paleozoic granitic rocks within the property area.  Past work by Ingeominas and Micoldex was focused on detecting regional geochemical anomalies.  Recent work by Greystar and Ventana indicates that bulk mineable gold deposits are associated with east-northeast trending splay faults from the regional north-northeast trending Bucaramanga Fault.  Preliminary interpretation of some of the gold showings suggests that the Norte de Santander Gold Project hosts targets that are similar to the Angostura (Greystar) and La Bodega (Ventana) deposits, respectively.  These areas warrant further exploration work.
 
Past and recent exploration has established some favourable criteria suggesting the possibility of sizeable gold accumulations within the property of Norte de Santander Gold Project.  These criteria are:
 
·
geochemical anomalies detected from reconnaissance stream sediment sampling surveys;
   
·
occurrence of a number of gold anomalies from lithogeochemical sampling; and
   
·
major east-northeast trending regional structures.

Recommendations
 
CB Gold has initiated a regional exploration program.  The objective of this work is to discover gold mineralization similar to known shear zone–hosted gold deposits, such as the Angostura deposit held by Greystar and the La Bodega deposit held by Ventana.  The work generally consists of:
 
(a)
a program of geological mapping and prospecting;
   
(b)
geochemical soil sampling over selected areas from the results of geological mapping and prospecting;
   
(c)
ground geophysical (magnetometer and induced polarization) surveys over selected areas; and
   
(d)
drill testing of selected targets whenever the work conducted through the above points (a), (b) and (c) will deliver results sufficient to justify investment in drilling program.

Vetas Gold Project
 
Unless otherwise stated, the information that follows relating to the Vetas Gold Project is derived from, and in some instances is an extract from, the Vetas Report, prepared by Hrayr Agnerian, geologist of Scott Wilson RPA.  Hrayr Agnerian is a “qualified person” and “independent” of CB Gold as such terms are defined in NI 43-101.
 
Property Description and Location
 
Property Status
 
The Vetas Gold Project is a combination of small producing mines and detailed exploration over adjacent areas.  The project is at an early stage of exploration even though there has been historic mining, and a number of small underground mines produce gold at the present time near the village of Vetas. Currently, at least eleven small underground mines are in production, but no systematic underground exploration and development, or surface exploration, has yet been carried out on the property.  This is because the mines are owned by individuals or partnerships of small companies located at the village of Vetas.
 
CB Gold is in the process of acquiring a 100% interest in 12 concessions that host quartz veins containing high grade gold and which are current producers.  The concessions are held by Colombian individuals or partnerships, and/or private companies registered in Colombia.  CB Gold is also in the process of acquiring the La Vereda concession from private vendors.  The latter is situated approximately five kilometres west of Vetas.  In total, the project lands cover a total area of approximately 915 hectares in northeastern Colombia (Table 3 and shown in Figure 4).
 
In September 2009, CB Gold commenced a systematic gold exploration program including investigation of gold showings, compilation of available mining and exploration data, lithogeochemical sampling of the stockwork area and geological mapping and lithogeochemical sampling of the La Vereda Concession area.  Since September 2009, CB Gold has collected 659 lithogeochemical samples from the stockwork and La Vereda area, including 30 control samples.

Location
 
The Vetas Gold Project is located approximately 325 kilometres north-northeast of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, and approximately 45 kilometres northeast of Bucaramanga, the capital of the Department of Santander (as shown in Figure 3).  The property lies within an area of high relief, ranging from 500 metres to 800 metres, and the elevations in the area range from 2,800 metres to 4,200 metres above mean sea level.
 
Purchase and Sale Agreements
 
From October 2009 to April 2010, CB Gold and the various private vendors entered into a number of exclusive option agreements whereby the vendors have granted CB Gold the right to earn a 100% interest in 12 mining concessions, subject to due diligence by CB Gold and completion of satisfactory purchase and sale agreements, which must be completed by various dates between January 31, 2010 and November 24, 2010.  The properties which are being acquired are listed in Table 3.
 
In addition to the above concessions, CB Gold is in negotiations with other property holders to acquire the Trompekro, La Elsy and Triada de Oro properties, which are adjacent to the underground mining operations.
 
Land Tenure
 
Scott Wilson RPA understands that there are no underlying royalties or encumbrances in any of the above properties, and that they are in good standing for periods ranging from 1 to 27 years renewable and transferable to concession contract for a duration of an additional 30 years.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography
 
Access to the Vetas Gold Project area is by road.  Access from Bucaramanga to Paramo de Berlin, a small town along the road to the Venezuelan border, is by paved highway, a distance of 60 kilometres.  From Paramo de Berlin, access is by gravel road, a distance of approximately 36 kilometres (Figure 5).  The project area includes the village of Vetas, a mining town, and current exploration by CB Gold is being carried out from Vetas.  Supplies and heavy equipment are brought to the community by trucks.
 
The climate in northeastern Colombia is tropical to temperate, with little difference in seasonal temperature.  There are two wet seasons, one from March to April and the other from October to November.  The mean temperature throughout the year is 22°C and ranges from 10°C to 30°C, although at high elevations overnight temperatures may be below freezing.  The average annual precipitation ranges from 350 millimetres to 3,100 millimetres.  Exploration and mining in the Vetas area may be carried out throughout the year, as evidenced by current mining activities at the small underground mines.
 
In the mountain regions temperature is directly related to elevation.  Average temperature decrease is approximately 0.6°C per 100 metres.  Popular terminology recognizes distinct temperature zones (pisos térmicos), which are sometimes referred to as tierra caliente (up to 900 masl in elevation), tierra templada or tierra del café (900 masl to 2,000 masl), and tierra fria (2,000 masl to 3,000 masl).

FIGURE 5     ROAD MAP OF DEPARTMENTS OF BUCARAMANGA AREA
 
 
Local infrastructure is available at Bucaramanga, the capital of the Department of Santander, and nearby towns. Bucaramanga is the sixth largest city in Colombia, and a major commercial and industrial centre for the region, with a population of over 1,200,000.  Infrastructure at these towns includes electrical power, cell phone network and road building equipment.  Water, both industrial and potable, is drawn from nearby streams.  Diamond drilling equipment is brought from Bogotá.
 
 
 
 

 
83
 
The land in the northeastern part of Colombia, and in particular the Vetas area, is used mainly for agriculture by local villagers.  The area is covered with extensive lateritic and saprolitic material, and outcrops are common only along streams or along road cuts.
 
Wildlife in the area includes various species of frogs, chiguiros (large rodents), snakes, birds (including white swan, parrots, hawk, field dove, and owl) foxes, puma, ocelot (wild cat), and various species of insects, including the culona ant.
 
The Vetas area has rugged topography, and outcrops are common, especially in the stockwork area adjacent to and east of Vetas.  In the La Vereda area, on the other hand, outcrops are not common and are observed only along road cuts or along small ridges of quartz veins.  Overburden cover ranges from one metre to 10 metres.
 
Near the village of Vetas, vegetation consists predominantly of fruit trees, such as banana, papaya and citrus.  In the La Vereda area, however, there is very little vegetation, other than small brushes.
 
History
 
Gold mining and production in Colombia dates back to the era of the Spanish Conquistadores in the sixteenth century.  Until the latter part of the twentieth century, gold production was predominantly from districts of the Western Cordillera, such as Zaragosa-Segovia-Remedios of the western part of the Antioquia Zone, Central Antioquia, Cauca-Romeral and others.  Some 80% of this production came from placer gold deposits, and from 1537 to 1820, 18% to 40% of total world gold production came from Colombia.  During the past few decades, production increased from vein deposits of the Vetas-California district in the Eastern Cordillera.  This led to increased exploration in the Santander Massif and to the discovery of the Angostura and La Bodega deposits.
 
Gold mining in the Vetas area dates back at least to the seventeenth century, when the local miners sent a shipment of gold to pay for the painting of Macarena in Cataluñia, Spain.  By the end of the nineteenth century, a British company started underground mining at the San Bartolo Mine.  A few years later, a French company, financed by the Rothschild Bank, carried out underground mining in the area and transported 26 bags of gold by mule teams.
 
During the 1940s, gold mining activity increased at the Gloria and La Tosca mines in the California area by using new mills.  This caused a relative decrease in mining activity in the Vetas area, especially since the village did not have any access to the main routes in the general area.  In the 1950s, the local miners, who originally came from the Basque region of Spain, constructed a 27 kilometres long gravel road from Vetas to Paramo de Berlin.
 
During the ensuing decade, the local miners also built the Vetas City Hall, parish house and health centre, all with their own money and with little help from the Colombian Government.  In addition, the local people have built a small football field, which they call “La Increible” (The Incredible) given the rugged topography around the village.
 
Gold mining in the Vetas area has been carried out by tracked underground methods.  In general, development is done by adits at various levels, drifting along narrow veins, mining from stopes and hauling the ore and waste by two-tonne cars along wooden and/or steel tracks.  Electric power is not used and haulage is done by hand.
 
There are no written records of recent mining activities at the various underground mines, although local miners report that a total of 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 ounces of gold have been produced from the various underground mines in the Vetas area.
 
Geological Setting
 
Regional Geology
 
The Vetas Gold Project area is situated within the Santander Massif, which is located along the Eastern Cordillera in northeastern Colombia.  This area hosts a number of epithermal gold occurrences, including the Angostura deposit of Greystar and the La Bodega/La Mascota deposits of Ventana.  The area is underlain by Precambrian gneisses, Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary and granitic rocks and Tertiary and Quaternary fluvial deposits.
 
 
 

 
84

 
The dominant structural feature in the general area is a northeast trending fault (Vetas Fault), similar to the Cucutilla Fault which hosts the Angostura deposit and the La Bodega deposit.  The Vetas Fault may be a splay of the north-northwest trending Bucaramanga Fault, approximately 35 kilometres west of the property.  The Vetas Fault is situated approximately 5 kilometres west of the village of Vetas, and less than two kilometres east of the La Vereda Concession.  The exploration methodology applied during recent programs by Greystar and Ventana has been to evaluate northeast to east-northeast trending splays of the Bucaramanga Fault.  These secondary structures are interpreted to be favourable hosts for gold mineralization in the area.
 
The Vetas Gold Project area comprises three parts: the high grade zone, which includes mineralized quartz veins within Precambrian gneisses; the stockwork zone underlain by granodioritic rocks adjacent to the high grade veins; and the La Vereda Concession, which contains northeast and northwest trending veins in an area underlain by intrusive rocks and unconsolidated sediments.
 
Exploration work to date suggests that the gold mineralization in the Vetas area is epigenetic in origin, with characteristic alteration of silica-sericite-pyrite, such as at La Bodega and Angostura deposits in the Santander Massif in northeastern Colombia.
 
Local Geology
 
The area of the Vetas Gold Project is underlain by rocks of the Bucaramanga Complex, which comprises high grade metamorphic rocks.  The Stockwork Zone and La Vereda Concession are also underlain by intrusive rocks of granodioritic, quartz diorite and dioritic composition and are interpreted to be related to the gold mineralization in the area.  The lithologic units present in the Vetas area are described as follows:
 
 
·
Precambrian rocks:  These include the Bucaramanga Complex which comprises high grade metamorphic rocks, such as quartzofeldspathic gneisses, amphibolitic gneisses, migmatites and granulite facies rocks of sedimentary origin;
     
 
·
Jurassic Intrusive rocks:
     
   
o
Rio Negro granodiorite and La Vereda quartz diorite;
       
   
o
Santa Barbara stock:  pink, coarse-grained quartz monzonite, commonly present at the gold deposits at the California area;
     
 
·
cretaceous sedimentary rocks, including Los Santos, Cumbre, Rosa Blanca, Paja, Tablazo and Simití Formations; and
     
 
·
quaternary sediments.

Property Geology
 
The property geology consists of an oval-shaped stockwork area east of the high grade vein area. In decreasing order of abundance, the veins trend northeast northwest and north.
 
Tectonic Setting
 
The dominant structural feature in the area is a north-northeast trending fault, which is oriented similar to the Cucutilla Fault at California.  This fault separates the La Vereda area in the west from the high grade veins in the east.  The exploration methodology applied during recent programs by Greystar and Ventana has been to evaluate northeast to east-northeast trending splays of the Bucaramanga Fault.  These secondary structures are interpreted to be favourable hosts for gold mineralization in the area.
 
The mineralized veins at Vetas are associated mainly with two sets of structures, northeast and northwest.  A number of northeast, east and northwest trending structures, associated with the mineralized quartz veins, are also present at La Vereda.  These structures are being investigated.

 
 
 

 
85
 
Deposit Types
 
Gold mineralization within the Vetas Gold Project is hosted by shear zones exhibiting intense silicification associated with sulphide alteration, i.e., similar to the Angostura Property and the La Bodega Property.  These deposits are commonly moderately dipping to subvertical in shape, and occur within granitic rocks or in contact zones between intrusive rocks and sedimentary or volcanic rocks.
 
Historic and current mining suggests that the gold mineralization in the area is epigenetic in origin. Recent mapping data by CB Gold also suggest that areas of silicasericite- pyrite alteration within the Precambrian gneisses, and younger granitic rocks at Vetas, have characteristics similar to the alteration assemblages present at La Bodega and Angostura deposits of the Santander Massif in northeastern Colombia.  Based on published data, gold mineralization at La Bodega and Angostura is reported to be of high sulphidation type.  Field observations by Scott Wilson RPA also suggest that much of the gold mineralization at Vetas is high sulphidation type.  The mineralization at La Vereda, on the other hand, is low sulphidation type, which is amenable to higher recoveries of the gold by heap leaching methods.
 
Mineralization
 
Gold mineralization in the Vetas-California district occurs mainly within northeast trending zones, and is associated with quartz, pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite and silver.  In some deposits, uraninite is also present.  The gold deposits which are developed to date are San Celestino, El Cuatro, La Mascota, Asturias, El Diamante, Trompeteros, La Colombo, El Volcán, La Araña and La Tosca.
 
There are two distinct types of mineralized zones identified within the Vetas Gold Project, high grade vein type and stockwork type.  This is based on published reports, interpretation of recent exploration data by CB Gold and results of the recent site visit.
 
Vetas Area
 
High Grade Veins
 
High grade vein gold mineralization occurs in silicified zones with white and dark chalcedonic quartz veins 30 centimetres to 2.5 metres thick, associated with sulphides and iron oxides (jarosite and goethite).  The quartz veins are situated within a wide alteration zone (approximately 1,000 metres by 700 metres), which is associated with intense iron oxide/hydroxide alteration on the surface, and are being mined by artisanal miners at the present time.  The main sulphide constituent in the veins is pyrite (5% to 15%), which occurs as stringers or fine-grained disseminations or aggregates, oriented along the foliation of the host rocks.  In places, a purplish mineral is also present along fractures, with pyrite.  The matrix material of the veins comprises quartz and feldspar of almost equal proportions. Occasionally, fine- to medium-grained visible gold is associated with pyrite.  Commonly, pyrite rich stringers - “veinlets” - give a banded appearance to the rock.  In general, the quartz veins are conformable to the foliation of the host biotite gneisses, but with varying dips.
 
Preliminary interpretation of field data by CB Gold indicates mineral zoning at Vetas; an increase of sulphide mineral contents, such as galena, sphalerite and marmatite (iron-rich sphalerite) as well as copper sulphates, and carbonates occur at the lower level of the underground mines at Real Minera, San Bartolo and San Antonio.  Preliminary interpretation of the area by Scott Wilson RPA also indicates that the adits of the mines are situated close to a Z-structure, whereby the stem of the “Z” is marked by a north flowing stream, and the top and bottom part of the “Z” are marked by northwest flowing portions of the same stream.  It is likely that the latter are expressions of northwest trending structures, as evidenced by similarly oriented veins at underground openings.
 
The coordinates of the various adits are shown in Table 4.  A brief description of the mineralized structures at the various underground mines, as observed during the recent site visit by Scott Wilson RPA, is provided below.

San Bartolo Mine
 
At the portal of the adit, the biotite gneisses trend north and are subvertical.  The orientation of the veins and structures within the mine tunnel are as follows:
 
 
·
Shear zone/vein (approximately 10 metres wide): 110°/45° north.
     
 
·
Fracture: 280°/20° north.
     
 
·
Shear zone in banded quartzofeldspathic rock with green clay: 310°/70° southwest.

In general, shear zones contain fine-grained disseminated pyrite and clay with tiny (≤ 2 millimetres) subvertical to steeply west dipping quartz veinlets.  The orientation of the tunnel is due north.
 
Real Minera Mine
 
At the portal of the adit there is a quartz vein with abundant fine-grained disseminated pyrite in biotite gneiss.  The orientation of the tunnel is due azimuth 050°.
 
La Peter (Agua) Mine
 
At the portal of the adit, the biotite gneisses trend north-northeast and are subvertical.  The orientations of the veins and structures within the mine tunnel are as follows:
 
 
·
Quartz vein (approximately 1 metres wide): 022°/35° northwest.
     
 
·
Quartz vein (approximately 80 centimetres wide): 022°/45° northwest.

In general, quartz veins contain fine-grained disseminated pyrite.  The orientation of the tunnel is due azimuth 042°.
 
Santa Isabel Mine
 
The orientations of the veins and structures within the mine tunnel are as follows:
 
 
·
Quartz vein with abundant iron oxides (approximately 1 m wide): 090°/51° north.
     
 
·
Quartz vein (approximately 80 centimetres wide): 0°/subvertical.

 
 

 
87

In general, quartz veins contain fine-grained disseminated pyrite within biotite gneiss.  The orientation of the tunnel is due azimuth 070°.
 
La Molina Mine
 
The orientations of the veins and structures within the mine tunnel are as follows:
 
 
·
Quartz vein with abundant iron oxides (approximately 80 centimetres wide): 310°/20° northeast.
     
 
·
Brecciated quartz vein (approximately 1 metre wide): 0°/45° west.

In general, quartz veins contain fine-grained disseminated pyrite within biotite gneiss.  The orientation of the tunnel is due azimuth 105°.
 
El Dorado Mine
 
The orientations of the veins and structures within the mine tunnel are as follows:
 
 
·
Brecciated quartz vein with pyrite stringers and iron oxides (approximately 1.3 metres wide): 075°/40° northwest.
     
 
·
Brecciated quartz vein (approximately 1.2 metres wide): 035°/40° northwest.

In general, quartz veins contain fine-grained disseminated pyrite within biotite gneiss.  The orientation of the tunnel is due azimuth 028°.
 
Trompetero Mine
 
The orientation of the brecciated quartz vein structure within the mine tunnel is 290°/45° north.  In general, the quartz vein contains fine-grained disseminated pyrite within biotite gneiss.  The orientation of the tunnel is due azimuth 240°.
 
Potosi Mine
 
The orientation of the brecciated shear zone/quartz vein structure within the mine tunnel is 286°/62° northwest.  In general, the quartz vein contains fine-grained disseminated pyrite within biotite gneiss.  The orientation of the tunnel is due azimuth 110°.
 
Scott Wilson RPA is of the opinion that these mineralized quartz veins with high grade gold values warrant follow-up work.
 
Stockwork Zone
 
The Stockwork Zone covers the Real Minera mineral concession adjacent to and immediately south of the high grade veins, an area approximately 600 metres long and 200 metres wide.  It covers the contact zone between the biotite gneisses, which hosts the high grade veins, and the granodiorite intrusive with numerous occurrences of quartz stockwork.  Stockwork type mineralization is locally called La Cueva del Chulo (cute’s hole) and dates back to the time of the Spanish Conquistadores.  In general, the stockwork consists of a system of multidirectional veinlets composed of white and grey quartz, some of which contain abundant iron oxides (after pyrite), and with variable widths ranging from one to five centimetres.  Argillic alteration (illite, smectite, clay minerals, and pyrite) is commonly associated with the quartz stockwork occurrences.
 
 
 

 
88

 
La Vereda
 
The La Vereda Concession is located approximately five kilometres west of the Vetas Concessions.  It is underlain by greenish grey, medium-grained intrusive rocks of tonalitic composition, with local varieties of granodiorite, quartz diorite and diorite.
 
There are three sets of quartz veins and associated structures present on the property.  These are northeast, northwest and north trending structures.
 
Gold mineralization at La Vereda is of three types: vein type, glacial moraine type and alluvial deposit type.
 
 
·
Vein Type:  This is the dominant type of mineralization, which is associated with low sulphidation epithermal veins, and is different from the high sulphidation veins at Vetas, Angostura and La Bodega. Based on field observations, the veins show banding, which indicates multiple phases of quartz injections, as white and dull milky quartz, crystal quartz, chalcedonic quartz and dark quartz with pyrite.  In general, iron oxides in the form of limonite, jarosite and goethite are present in the quartz veins, as coating cavities and fractures.  Hydrothermal alteration halos are observed near and around the quartz veins.  This is evidenced by the presence of argillic alteration and the more distal propylitic alteration (chlorite, epidote and pyrite) assemblages.
     
 
·
Glacial Moraine Type:  In the northeastern part of the property, a circular area of approximately 12 hectares is covered with glacial moraine with at least 20 small pits varying in depth from one metre to four metres.  It is reported that these pits represent historic workings dating back to the Spanish Conquistadores.  The average grade of the gold in these pits is not known at the present time.
     
 
·
Alluvial Deposit Type:  There are some small scale operations recovering gold from alluvial deposits situated in the northwestern part of the property.  The average grades of these deposits, however, are not known at the present time.

Exploration
 
There are no records of historical exploration work on the Vetas area or the La Vereda Concession. Recently, CB Gold has carried out a compilation of technical data stored at Ingeominas in Bogotá, in preparation for its 2009-2010 exploration program.
 
In September 2009, CB Gold commenced a systematic gold exploration program including investigation of gold showings, compilation of available mining and exploration data, lithogeochemical sampling of the stockwork area and geological mapping and lithogeochemical sampling of the La Vereda Concession area. Since September 2009, CB Gold has collected 659 lithogeochemical samples from the stockwork and La Vereda area, including 30 control samples.  They comprise:
 
 
·
399 samples from the Vetas area (underground and surface); and
     
 
·
260 samples from the La Vereda Concession.

Samples are sent to ALS Chemex, in Bogotá, for sample preparation, and then the pulps are sent to ALS Chemex in Lima, Peru, for gold assays by the fire assay method and 30-element ICP determinations, including silver, copper, zinc and lead.  Results are presented in Table 5.  As control samples, CB Gold used blanks and three standards with known concentrations of 0.615 g/t gold (low grade standard), 2.366 g/t gold (medium grade standard) and 14.92 g/t gold (high grade standard).  Results of the control samples are discussed under the subheading “Data Verification” below.

High Grade Veins
 
CB Gold collected 164 samples from underground openings and surface exposures of high grade veins, with typical hydrothermal alteration including sericitization, clay alteration and pyrite.  Results indicate that:
 
 
·
The average width of the vein material is 80 centimetres, within a range from 30 centimetres to 2.5 metres.
     
 
·
The average grade of the mineralized veins is 2.58 g/t gold and 27.48 g/t silver, within a range from 0.10 g/t gold and 0.2 g/t silver to 75.2 g/t gold and 336 g/t silver.

Stockwork Zone
 
Results from 34 lithogeochemical samples from the Stockwork hill area indicate that all but four samples contain low grade gold.  Three samples located at the top of the hill in the northeastern part of the area contain anomalous gold values ranging from 0.93 g/t gold to 5.87 g/t gold.  These results indicate that:
 
 
·
Many of the samples are collected along the flank of a hill in the southwestern part of the area.
     
 
·
Topographic contour lines suggest an east-northeast trending lineament across the central part of the sampled area.
     
 
·
An anomalous sample with a gold value of 0.58 g/t gold is situated close to the postulated east-northeast trending fault.

La Vereda
 
Results from 260 lithogeochemical samples from the La Vereda area indicate that the majority of the samples contain low grade gold.  These results indicate that:
 
 
·
Many of the samples are collected along the flank of a hill in the northwestern part of the area, an area where northeast trending quartz veins may extend from the northeast into southwest, i.e., into the La Vereda Concession.
     
 
·
Topographic contour lines suggest a set of west-northwest trending lineaments across the southwestern part of the concession.
     
 
·
A number of quartz veins occur in the eastern part of the concession, but are not yet sampled.

Scott Wilson RPA notes that the La Vereda Concession is underlain by the same intrusive complex as the Angostura and La Bodega deposits of the California zone, approximately ten kilometres to the north.

Drilling
 
There has been no drilling carried out on the Vetas properties, or in the La Vereda area.
 
Sampling Method and Approach
 
The methodology of lithogeochemical sampling during the 2009 preliminary program by CB Gold consisted of rock chip sampling along outcrops.  The sample locations are based on the locations of east-northeast, northeast, northwest and north trending structures and quartz veins, as noted in previous sections.
 
Geological mapping and rock sampling were carried out by two CB Gold exploration geologists. Chip, grab and channel sampling was conducted at underground openings and along outcrops.  In general, surface lithogeochemical sampling was not based on a grid, rather the objective was to evaluate interpreted structures.  As noted above, rock sampling procedures were as follows:
 
 
·
Grab samples, weighing 2 kilograms to 3 kilograms, were collected with a separate representative sample stored at the Vetas temporary office (field office) for reference.
     
 
·
Channel samples were collected across or along strike. Sample lengths were one metre to 3 metres, and weighed 3 kilograms to 4 kilograms, on average.
     
 
·
Preliminary description of the grab and channel samples was carried out at the site, and a later, more complete description, was done at the field office.  Sample descriptions included lithologic description, coordinates and mineralization features, which were entered into Excel spreadsheets.
     
 
·
Sample tickets were placed inside each sample bag, with the corresponding number written on the outside of the bag.
     
 
·
The channel sample sites were cleaned prior to the sample being collected and marked by red paint showing the sample number. A metric tape and compass were used to facilitate this work.
     
 
·
Samples were placed into a pre-numbered plastic sample bag and sent to ALS Chemex in Bogotá.

Detailed surface lithogeochemical sampling based on a grid and underground sampling is underway.
 
Sampling Preparation, Analysis and Approach
 
Sampling of outcrops and underground openings is done at selected locations.  Samples are sent to ALS Chemex in Bogotá for sample preparation, and then the pulps are sent to ALS Chemex in Lima, Peru, for gold assays by the fire assay method and 30-element ICP determinations, including silver, copper, zinc and lead.  Analytical results from the three areas are summarized in Table 5.
 
Scott Wilson RPA notes that ALS Chemex is a reputable commercial laboratory, and is of the opinion that the sample preparation and analytical procedures at the ALS Chemex sample preparation laboratory at Bogotá are in keeping with industry practice.
 
Data Verification
 
Data Verification by CB Gold
 
During the recent preliminary exploration program, data verification and quality control was done by CB Gold contract personnel.  The quality and reliability of the data obtained from the lithogeochemical sampling program was reviewed and verified by Mr. Alberto Rios Carranza, Ph.D., Chief Geologist of CB Gold. Scott Wilson RPA understands that Mr. Carranza is not a Qualified Person under the definition of NI 43-101.  As control samples, CB Gold used blanks and three standards with known concentrations of 0.615 g/t gold (low grade standard), 2.366 g/t gold (medium grade standard) and 14.92 g/t gold (high grade standard) from Rocklabs, a certified laboratory, in

Auckland, New Zealand.  Results from the current program are shown in Table 6.  QA/QC procedures used by CB Gold for its lithogeochemical sampling program have been reviewed by Scott Wilson RPA, and they are in keeping with industry standards.

Independent Sampling by Scott Wilson RPA
 
During the site visit from December 2 to 4, 2009, Scott Wilson RPA reviewed the recent CB Gold sampling results.  As a check of the gold mineralization on the property, Scott Wilson RPA collected a total of 20 samples from the various high grade veins at the various underground mines, the stockwork area and the La Vereda Concession, and sent them to ALS Chemex for gold assays by the Screen Metallics fire assay method and 30-element ICP determinations, including silver, copper, zinc, i.e., the same method as used for the CB Gold samples.  The purpose of this work was to assess the potential for high grade gold on the property, as well as previously undetected areas of hydrothermal alteration and shear zones, such as areas in between high grade veins, and contact zones between granitic rocks and sedimentary rocks.  Table 7 lists the samples collected by Scott Wilson RPA and their gold and silver values.
 
Results in Table 7 indicate that high grade gold and silver values, in the order of 5.14 g/t gold and 340.0 g/t silver, occur in samples collected from underground workings, and values ranging from 0.19 g/t gold to 0.72 g/t gold and 0.3 g/t silver to 1.5 g/t silver are present within the three surface samples collected at the Stockwork hill and the La Vereda Concession.
 
Results of Scott Wilson RPA’s independent sampling also indicate that the gold and silver values are correlated by a factor of approximately 1:10 (gold:silver).
 
Each rock sample is bagged in plastic sample bags and periodically shipped from Vetas town to Bucaramanga using contracted trucks.  From Bucaramanga, the samples are sent by road via TCC (Transportadora Comercial Colombia) to ALS Chemex in Bogota, Colombia for preparation.  The samples are dried, crushed, split and pulverized to 85% (< 75 um), with the subsequent shipping of sample pulps by ALS Chemex to their Lima, Peru lab for geochemical analysis.  All the analyses used standard 30 g fire assay with AA finish for gold and ICP multiple geochemical elements.  Grayimetric analyses are completed for over-limit assays on gold and all silver assays are 30 g fire assay with an aqua regia finish.
 
Blanks and certified control standards are inserted into the sample on a mostly random basin resulting in a QC sample frequency of about three control standards and one blank in every 100 samples.
 
Within 20 days after the completion of the analysis, ALS Chemex in Peru delivers the preliminary and final results in Excel and Pdf version to the ALS Chemex in Bogota, Colombia, which results are then reported to Leyhat Sucursal management by e-mail and certificates.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing
 
There are no records of past metallurgical work on mineralized material from the Vetas Gold Project area.  Scott Wilson RPA also notes that there are no records of metallurgical testwork from the current underground mining operations in the area.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
 
There are no mineral resources or mineral reserves on the Vetas Gold Project at this time.
 
Interpretation
 
The Vetas Gold Project is at an early stage of exploration despite historic and current gold mining activities.  At least ten underground mines are active in producing gold from mineralized quartz veins hosted by biotite gneisses, near the contact with granitic rocks.  The areas between the high grade veins, however, exhibit hydrothermal alteration, but have not yet been explored.  These areas warrant detailed geochemical and geophysical exploration and drill testing to assess the potential for large scale mineable gold deposit in the area.
 
Recent work by CB Gold indicates that a large area adjacent to the high grade veins is underlain by granitic rocks with stockwork of quartz veins and veinlets containing gold, with values ranging from 0.05 g/t gold to 5.87 g/t gold in panel samples of up to two metres in diameter.  Recent work by Greystar and Ventana also indicate bulk mineable gold deposits are associated with east-northeast trending splay faults from the regional northnorthwest trending Bucaramanga Fault.  Field data on the high grade gold veins also suggest that the Vetas Gold Project hosts targets that are similar to the Angostura and La Bodega/La Mascota deposits.
 
Recommendations
 
The planned work would consist of:
 
(a)
a program of detailed surface and underground mapping and sampling of high grade gold bearing veins at Vetas;
   
(b)
continuing the program of detailed geological mapping and prospecting at the stockwork and La Vereda areas;
   
(c)
geochemical soil sampling over the entire stockwork area near the village of Vetas and La Vereda Concession;
   
(d)
ground geophysical (Magnetometer and Induced Polarization) surveys over the stockwork area and over the corridor of quartz veins within the La Vereda Concession; and
   
(e)
drill testing to be carried out in two phases.  Phase One includes drilling the high grade veins and Phase Two includes drill testing of selected targets in the stockwork area and La Vereda Concession area.

The total budget for the Phase One program from January to June 2010 is approximately US$2,200,000 which will be allocated as follows:

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations sets forth executive compensation disclosure requirements. Applicable securities laws require CB Gold to provide disclosure in the Information Circular in compliance with Form 51-102F6.
 
Named Executive Officers
 
For the period ending December 31, 2009, CB Gold had the following four Named Executive Officers: Fabio Capponi (President and Chief Executive Officer), Giles Baynham (Vice President, Corporate Development and Acting Chief Financial Officer), Ana Milena Vasquez (Vice President, Operations - Colombia), and Dr. Alberto Rios Carranza (Chief Geologist - Colombia).
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
For the period ended December 31, 2009, the CB Gold Board was responsible for ensuring an appropriate plan for executive compensation was in place and for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of CB Gold executive officers.  The CB Gold Board ensures that total compensation paid to all Named Executive Officers is fair and reasonable and is consistent with CB Gold’s compensation philosophy.
 
Compensation plays an important role in achieving short and long-term business objectives that ultimately drive business success.  CB Gold’s compensation philosophy is to foster entrepreneurship at all levels of the organization through, among other things, the granting of stock options, a significant component of executive compensation.  This approach is based on the assumption that the performance of the CB Gold Share price over the long term is an important indicator of long term performance.
 
CB Gold’s compensation philosophy is based on the following fundamental principles:
 
·
Compensation programs align with shareholder interests – CB Gold aligns the goals of executives with maximizing long term shareholder value;
   
·
Performance sensitive – compensation for executive officers should be linked to operating performance of CB Gold and fluctuate with that performance; and
   
·
Offer market competitive compensation to attract and retain talent – the compensation program should provide market competitive pay in terms of value and structure in order to retain existing employees who are performing according to their objectives and to attract new individuals of the highest calibre.

The objectives of the compensation program in compensating all Named Executive Officers were developed based on the above-mentioned compensation philosophy and are as follows:
 
·
to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers;
   
·
to align the interests of executive officers with shareholders’ interests and with the execution of CB Gold’s business strategy;
   
·
to evaluate executive performance on the basis of key measurements of exploration management and business plan implementation that correlate to long-term shareholder value; and

 
 
 

 
98

 
·
to tie compensation directly to those measurements based on achieving and exceeding predetermined objectives.

Competitive Compensation
 
Aggregate compensation for each Named Executive Officer is designed to be competitive.  The CB Gold Board reviews compensation practices of similarly situated companies in determining appropriate compensation.  Although the CB Gold Board reviews each element of compensation for market competitiveness, and it may weigh a particular element more heavily based on the Named Executive Officer’s role within CB Gold, it is primarily focused on remaining competitive in the market with respect to total compensation.
 
The CB Gold Board reviews data related to compensation levels and programs of various companies that are similar in size to CB Gold and operate within the mining exploration and development industry, prior to making its decisions.  Examples of these companies are Galway Resources Ltd, Greystar Ventana and B2Gold Corp.  These companies are used as CB Gold’s primary peer group because they have similar business characteristics or because they compete with CB Gold for employees and investors.
 
The purpose of this process is to:
 
 
·
understand the competitiveness of current pay levels for each executive position relative to companies with similar revenues and business characteristics;
     
 
·
identify and understand any gaps that may exist between actual compensation levels and market compensation levels; and
     
 
·
establish a basis for developing salary adjustments and short-term and long-term incentive awards for CB Gold Board approval.

Aligning the Interests of the Named Executive Officers with the Interests of CB Gold’s Shareholders
 
CB Gold believes that transparent, objective and easily verified corporate goals, combined with individual performance goals, play an important role in creating and maintaining an effective compensation strategy for the Named Executive Officers.  CB Gold’s objective is to establish benchmarks and targets for its Named Executive Officers which, if achieved, will enhance shareholder value.  These benchmarks relate to completion of exploration programs on the basis of pre-established budgets and exploration success, as well as completion of equity financings on terms beneficial to CB Gold.
 
A combination of fixed and variable compensation is used to motivate executives to achieve overall corporate goals.  For the 2009 financial year, the three basic components of executive officer compensation program were:
 
 
·
fixed salary;
     
 
·
annual incentives (cash bonus); and
     
 
·
option based compensation.

Fixed salary comprises a portion of the total cash-based compensation; however, annual incentives and option based compensation represent compensation that is “at risk” and thus may or may not be paid to the respective executive officer depending on: (i) whether the executive officer is able to meet or exceed his or her applicable performance targets; and (ii) success in financing CB Gold and market performance of CB Gold Shares if and when the shares have a public market.  To date, no specific formulae have been developed to assign a specific weighting to each of these components. Instead, the CB Gold Board considers each performance target and CB Gold’s performance and assigns compensation based on this assessment.
 

 
 

 
99
 
Base Salary
 
For the period ended December 31, 2009, the CB Gold Board approved the salary ranges for the Named Executive Officers.  The CB Gold Board will approve all further salary ranges for the Named Executive Officers.  The base salary review for each Named Executive Officer is based on an assessment of factors such as current competitive market conditions, compensation levels within the peer group and particular skills, such as leadership ability and management effectiveness, experience, responsibility and proven or expected performance of the particular individual, as well as factors such as extensive overseas travel, extended periods of work overseas and any hardship associated with such travel.  Comparative data for CB Gold’s peer group is also accumulated from a number of external sources including independent consultants.  CB Gold’s policy for determining salary for executive officers is consistent with the administration of salaries for all other employees.
 
Annual Incentives
 
CB Gold, in its discretion, may award annual incentives by way of cash bonuses in order to motivate executives to achieve short-term corporate goals.  CB Gold awarded such incentives in the period ended December 31, 2009 in the amount of $40,000 to the President and Chief Executive Officer, $40,000 to the Vic-President, Corporate Development, $20,000 to the Vice President, Operations – Colombia and $3,000 to the Chief Geologist – Colombia.
 
The success of Named Executive Officers in achieving their individual objectives and their contribution to CB Gold in reaching its overall goals are factors in the determination of their annual bonus.  The CB Gold Board will assess each Named Executive Officer's performance on the basis of his or her respective contribution to the achievement of the predetermined corporate objectives, as well as to needs of CB Gold that arise on a day to day basis.  This assessment will be used by the CB Gold Board with respect to the determination of annual bonuses for the Named Executive Officers.
 
Compensation and Measurements of Performance
 
The CB Gold Board approves targeted amounts of annual incentives for each Named Executive Officer at the beginning of each financial year.  The targeted amounts will be determined by the CB Gold Board based on a number of factors, including comparable compensation of similar companies.
 
Achieving predetermined individual and/or corporate targets and objectives, as well as general performance in day to day corporate activities, will trigger the award of a bonus payment to the Named Executive Officer.  The Named Executive Officer will receive a partial or full incentive payment depending on the number of the predetermined targets met and the CB Gold Board’s assessment of overall performance.  The determination as to whether a target has been met is ultimately made by the CB Gold Board and it reserves the right to make positive or negative adjustments to any bonus payment if it considers them to be appropriate.
 
Long Term Compensation
 
CB Gold currently has no long-term incentive plans, other than stock options granted from time to time by the CB Gold Board under the provisions of the CB Gold Stock Option Plan.

On February 24, 2010, the CB Gold Board adopted the CB Gold Stock Option Plan.  The purpose of the CB Gold Stock Option Plan is to encourage ownership of CB Gold Shares by the persons who are primarily responsible for the management and profitable growth of CB Gold’s business, as well as to provide additional incentive for superior performance by such persons and attract and retain valued personnel.  The CB Gold Stock Option Plan provides that eligible persons thereunder include any director, senior officer, consultant or employee of CB Gold.  A consultant is defined as an individual who is engaged by CB Gold, under a written contract, to provide services on an ongoing basis and spends a significant amount of time on CB Gold’s business and affairs.  The definition of consultant also includes an individual whose services are engaged through a personal holding corporation.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies
 
Except as disclosed below, no director, officer or promoter of CB Gold, or any CB Gold Securityholder holding a sufficient number of CB Gold Securities to affect materially the control of CB Gold, within 10 years before the date of this Circular, has been a director, officer or promoter of any other Person that, while that person was acting in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade or similar order, or an order that denied the other issuer access to any exemptions under applicable securities law, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.
 
Mr. Capponi was an independent director of West Hawk Development Corp. (“West Hawk”) from July 24, 2008 until his resignation on November 18, 2008.  On November 5, 2008, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) issued a cease trade order against West Hawk for failure to file a technical report that is compliant with NI 43-101.  Under National Instrument 43-101, West Hawk was required to file a technical report to support a mineral resource estimate at its Heavener coal project which was announced by West Hawk in a news release on September 4, 2008.  The cease trade order was revoked by the BCSC on December 5, 2008 as the BCSC found that it was not prejudicial to the public interest because West Hawk issued a news release on December 4, 2008 retracting the resource estimate and statements that the property in question was near term production and it no longer had a right to acquire an interest in such property.
 
Additionally, eight months after the resignation of Mr. Capponi as an independent director of West Hawk, West Hawk issued a news release dated July 10, 2009 (the “News Release”) disclosing that on December 18, 2008, it filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado on behalf of West Hawk Energy (USA) LLC (“WHE”), an indirect partially owned subsidiary.  West Hawk holds a 75% interest in WHE through its wholly owned subsidiary, West Hawk Holdings (USA) LLC (“WHE Holdings”).  As stated in the News Release, WHE is indebted in the amount of approximately $10,300,000.  The News Release further discloses that on April 7, 2009, West Hawk filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado on behalf of WHE Holdings in respect of approximately $1,000,000 in intercompany debt.  Additionally, West Hawk filed a motion to consolidate the Chapter 11 proceedings of WHE and WHE Holdings.  The latest disclosure available on SEDAR by West Hawk regarding the bankruptcy proceedings of WHE and WHE Holdings is the Management Discussion and Analysis for the period ended October 31, 2009, which discloses that the motion for substantive consolidation of the two proceedings is pending.
 
Penalties or Sanctions
 
No director, officer or promoter of CB Gold, or any CB Gold Securityholder holding a sufficient number of CB Gold Securities to affect materially the control of CB Gold, has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority, or been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body including a self regulatory body that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable securityholder making a decision about the proposed Transaction.
 
Personal Bankruptcies
 
No director, officer or promoter of CB Gold, or any CB Gold Shareholder holding a sufficient number of CB Gold Securities to affect materially the control of CB Gold, or a personal holding company of any such person, has, within the past 10 years, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or
 
 
 

 
104

insolvency, or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of such person.
 
Conflicts of Interest
 
There are potential conflicts of interest to which the directors, officers and promoters of CB Gold are subject with respect to the operations of CB Gold.  Certain of the directors and/or officers serve as directors and/or officers of other companies or have significant shareholdings in other companies.  Situations may arise where the directors, officers and promoters of CB Gold will be engaged in direct competition with CB Gold.  Any conflicts of interest will be subject to and governed by the law applicable to directors, and officers, conflicts of interest, including the procedures prescribed under the BCBCA.  Under the BCBCA, among other things, a director or senior of CB Gold is liable to account to the company for a profit that accrues to the director or senior officer under or as a result of a contract or transaction in which the director or senior officer holds a “disclosable interest”, unless the director or senior officer discloses such interest and, in certain circumstances, refrains from voting on a resolution of the CB Gold Board to approve the contract or transaction.  For these purposes, a director or senior officer of CB Gold would have a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction if:
 
 
(a)
the contract or transaction is material to CB Gold;
     
 
(b)
CB Gold has entered, or proposes to enter into the contract or transaction; and
     
 
(c)
either:
     
   
(i)
the director or senior officer has a material interest in the contract or transaction; or
       
   
(ii)
the director or senior officer is a director or senior officer of, or has a material interest in, a person who has a material interest in the contract or transaction.

See “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco – Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business”.
 
Non-Arm’s Length Party Transactions
 
CB Gold has not acquired or sold in any transaction since as incorporation, and does not propose to acquire or sell in any transaction, assets or services from a director, officer, promoter or CB Gold Shareholder holding 10% or more of the outstanding CB Gold Shares or an Associate or Affiliate of any such Person.
 
Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the CB Gold Meeting
 
Other than as set forth in this Circular, the management of CB Gold is not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, of any person who has been a director or executive officer at any time since the incorporation of CB Gold or any proposed nominee for election as a director of Amalco, or any Associate or Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons, in any matter to be acted upon at the CB Gold Meeting.
 
Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions
 
No informed person or proposed director of CB Gold and no associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons has or has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of CB Gold’s most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which in either such case has materially affected or would materially affect CB Gold.

Amalco reserves the right to allocate funds to different projects and purposes as may be deemed appropriate by management or the Amalco Board, to the extent that circumstances, including results obtained or other sound business reasons, make such allocation necessary or prudent.  Amalco, in order to complete a successful exploration program, may require additional capital which may come from a combination of potential cash flow, equity financing and/or debt financing.  There is no assurance that additional capital will be available to Amalco to complete a successful exploration program or that the terms for obtaining such capital will be favourable.  Failure to obtain additional capital could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of such exploration program.  See “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco - Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and an Investment in Amalco Securities”.
 
Dividends
 
On the Effective Date, there will be no restrictions in Amalco’s articles or elsewhere which would prevent Amalco from paying dividends subsequent to the completion of the Transaction.  However, it is anticipated that Amalco will retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of its business and not pay cash dividends on the Amalco Shares in the foreseeable future.  Payment of any future dividends would be at the discretion of the Amalco Board after taking into account all relevant factors, including Amalco’s earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and potential financing sources.

Corporate Governance
 
The Amalco Board will be committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of the Amalco shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies.  Upon the Amalgamation, Amalco will be a mineral exploration company at an early stage of development, with a four person board of directors and limited financial resources.  As such, some of the guidelines will not be suitable for Amalco and therefore will not be adopted.
 
The Amalco Board will continue to review with management the corporate governance practices of Amalco to ensure that they are sound practices for effective and efficient decision making.  National Instrument 58–101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices requires each reporting issuer to disclose its corporate governance
 
 
 

 
114

practices on an annual basis.  Amalco’s approach to corporate governance, which will be effective upon completion of the Amalgamation, is set forth below.
 
Board of Directors and Directorships
 
Section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) sets out the standard for director independence. Under NI 52-110, a director is independent with respect to Amalco if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with Amalco.  A material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the Amalco Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.  NI 52–110 also sets out certain situations where a director will automatically be considered to have a material relationship with Amalco.
 
Applying the definition set out in NI 52-110, two of the four persons who will be members of the Amalco Board upon completion of the Amalgamation are independent.  The persons who are independent are Peter Barnes and Juan Manuel Pelaez.  Fabio Capponi and Giles Baynham are not independent by virtue of the fact that they are executive officers of Amalco.  The Amalco Board is committed to taking the necessary steps in order to ensure that it is able to facilitate its exercise of independent judgment in carrying out its responsibilities.
 
The Amalco Board will meet quarterly, as necessary when operations warrant, and following each annual meeting of shareholders of Amalco.
 
In carrying out its responsibilities, the Amalco Board will require management of Amalco to prepare and submit budgets and programs for approval of the Amalco Board.  These budgets and programs, and any updates, will be reviewed at the Amalco Board’s quarterly meetings.
 
Orientation and Continuing Education
 
Amalco will provide all new directors with an information package relating to Amalco, including, among other things, its policies, procedures and disclosures.  The Amalco Board will consider alternatives for the orientation and education of directors.  Generally, CB Gold and First Source expect that the initial members of the Amalco Board will have a familiarity with the business of mineral exploration and development.  Professional advisors may be invited to attend Amalco Board meetings, as needed.  Amalco will also rely on the relatively straightforward nature of its business and the established qualifications and expertise of the Amalco Board members.
 
Ethical Business Conduct
 
The Amalco Board will adopt a written Code of Conduct (the “Code”), which will be filed on SEDAR following completion of the Amalgamation.  All Amalco personnel will be encouraged to report violations of the Code in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Code.  In addition to responding to any complaints or violations reported directly to Amalco Board members, the Amalco Board will make periodic inquiries of Amalco management as to issues related to compliance with Code requirements.  In addition, in the course of the regular business and operation updates provided by Amalco management to the Amalco Board members, there will be opportunities to discuss any Code compliance issues.
 
As required under the BCBCA and Amalco’s articles:
 
 
a director or senior officer who holds any office or possesses any property, right or interest that could result, directly or indirectly, in the creation of a duty or interest that materially conflicts with that individual’s duty or interest as a director or executive officer of Amalco must promptly disclose the nature and extent of that conflict; and
     
 
a director who holds a disclosable interest (as that term is used in the BCBCA) in a contract or transaction into which Amalco has entered or proposes to enter may not vote on any directors’ resolution to approve the contract or transaction, other than as permitted by the BCBCA and Amalco’s articles.

 
 

 
115

Generally, as a matter of practice, directors or senior officers who have disclosed a material interest in any transaction or agreement that the Amalco Board is considering will not take part in any Amalco Board discussion respecting that transaction or agreement, unless permitted by the BCBCA and Amalco’s articles.  If on occasion such directors participate in the relevant discussions, they will abstain from voting on any matters relating to matters in which they have disclosed a material interest.
 
Nomination of Directors
 
Potential candidates for appointment to the Amalco Board will be considered by Amalco’s Compensation and Governance Committee.  The Compensation and Governance Committee will be responsible for recruiting new members to the Amalco Board and planning for the succession of Amalco Board members.  The Compensation and Governance Committee will also have responsibility for operating a program of orientation and education for all new recruits to the Amalco Board.
 
Assessments
 
The Amalco Board will not initially have specific procedures for regularly assessing the effectiveness and contribution of the Amalco Board, its committees or individual directors.  As the business of Amalco will be relatively straightforward and the size of the Amalco Board relatively small, it is expected that a significant lack of performance on the part of a committee or individual director would become readily apparent and could be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.  With respect to the Amalco Board as a whole, both the Amalco Board and the Compensation and Governance Committee will monitor its performance on an ongoing basis and, as part of that process, consider the overall performance of Amalco and input from its shareholders.
 
The entire board of directors will be responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the Amalco Board, its members and the committees of the Amalco Board, in consultation with the Chairman of the Amalco Board and the Chairman of each committee.
 
Audit Committee
 
Amalco’s Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) will be comprised of Peter Barnes (Chairman), Juan Manuel Pelaez and Giles Baynham.  The majority of such members of the Audit Committee will be considered to be “independent” within the meaning of Section 1.4 of NI 52-110. Each such member of the Audit Committee will be considered to be “financially literate” within the meaning of Section 1.6 of NI 52-110.
 
The initial members of the Audit Committee along with their relevant education and experience are set out in the table below:
 
Director
 
Relevant Education and Experience
     
Peter Barnes
 
Mr. Barnes is a Chartered Accountant and has a BSc (Economics) from the University of Hull in the United Kingdom.  He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Silver Wheaton Corp. and he previously was the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Silver Wheaton Corp.  Additionally, Mr. Barnes was the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Goldcorp Inc.
     
Juan Manuel Pelaez
 
Mr. Pelaez is the President of Medoro Colombia Inc. and was an International Business Advisor for Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp.

Mr. Baynham is a mining engineer and former banker with a Masters In Mining Engineering from the Imperial College, Royal School of Mines in the United Kingdom.  He has worked for nearly eight years in London in finance, followed by five years with Endeavour Financial Corporation in Vancouver.

The Audit Committee will establish policies and procedures that are intended to control the services that will be provided by Amalco’s auditors and to monitor their continuing independence.  Under these policies, no services may be undertaken by the auditors unless the engagement is specifically approved by the Audit Committee or the services are included within a category which has been pre-approved by the Audit Committee.  The maximum charge for services will be established by the Audit Committee when the specific engagement is approved or the category of services pre-approved.  Management will be required to notify the Audit Committee of the nature and value of pre-approved services undertaken.
 
 
 

 
116

 
The Audit Committee will not approve engagements relating to, or pre-approve categories of, non-audit services to be provided by the auditors: (i) if such services are of a type the performance of which would cause the auditors to cease to be independent within the meaning of applicable securities law; and (ii) without consideration, among other things, of whether the auditors are best situated to provide the required services and whether the required services are consistent with their role as auditor.
 
Compensation and Governance Committee
 
The Compensation and Governance Committee will be comprised of Peter Barnes and Juan Manuel Pelaez.  The mandate of the Compensation and Governance Committee will be to provide a nomination, compensation and governance function for the Amalco Board.  The Compensation and Governance Committee will have responsibility, among other things, for determining executive and management remuneration and stock options.  In addition, the Compensation and Governance Committee will have responsibility for assessing the effectiveness of the Amalco Board as a whole, the committees of the Amalco Board and the contributions of individual directors.  The Chairman’s function in relation to the Compensation and Governance Committee is to make specific recommendations on remuneration with supporting commentary on individual performance and industry standards.  Each of the two initial members of the Compensation and Governance Committee will be an independent director.
 
The Compensation and Governance Committee will be responsible for assessing the performance and remuneration of the officers and senior managers of Amalco, and for reviewing the adequacy and the form of compensation of directors to ensure that the compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risk involved in being an effective director.
 
The Compensation and Governance Committee will have responsibility for recommending the compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman and Vice President, Corporate Development for approval by the Amalco Board.  The compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman and Vice President, Corporate Development will consist of a base salary and long-term incentive (stock options) determined on the basis described in “Part III:  Information Concerning CB Gold - Statement of Executive Compensation”.  The Compensation and Governance Committee will review the compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman and Vice President, Corporate Development and the other senior officers on an annual basis.
 
The responsibilities of the Compensation and Governance Committee will also include responding to any changes in the corporate governance guidelines of the TSXV or any other applicable exchange or securities regulator; establishing criteria to determine the independence of directors; monitoring ethics, conflict of interest and privacy guidelines of Amalco; and recommending changes to the governance of Amalco.
 
The Compensation and Governance Committee will maintain a system that permits Amalco Board members to engage outside advisors at the expense of Amalco in order to better perform their duties.  Such engagements shall only be permitted in appropriate circumstances and with the approval of the Compensation and Governance Committee.
 
Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies
 
Except as disclosed under “Part III:  Information Concerning CB Gold - Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies”, no proposed director, officer or promoter of Amalco, or a securityholder anticipated to hold sufficient securities of Amalco to affect materially the control of Amalco, within 10 years before the date of this Circular, has been a director, officer or promoter of any Person that, while that person was acting in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade or similar order, or an order that denied the Person access to any exemptions under applicable securities law, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.
 
Penalties or Sanctions
 
No proposed director, officer or promoter of Amalco, or any securityholder anticipated to hold sufficient securities of Amalco to affect materially the control of Amalco, or a personal holding company of any such Persons, has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority, or been subject to any
 
 
 

 
117

other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body including a self-regulatory body that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable securityholder making a decision about the Transaction.
 
Personal Bankruptcies
 
No proposed director, officer or promoter of Amalco, or any securityholder anticipated to hold sufficient securities of Amalco to affect materially the control of Amalco, or a personal holding company of any such Persons, has, within the 10 years preceding the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the individual.
 
Conflicts of Interest
 
Certain proposed directors and officers of Amalco are, or may become, directors or officers of other companies with businesses which may conflict with the business of Amalco.
 
Directors and officers of a company are required, among other things, to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and, in certain circumstances, directors are required to abstain from voting on contracts or transactions involving a conflict of interest.  To the best of the knowledge of the directors and officers of First Source and CB Gold, there are no known existing or potential conflicts of interest between Amalco and any proposed director or officer of Amalco as a result of their outside business interests at the date hereof.  However, certain of the directors and officers serve, or may in the future serve, as directors and/or officers of other companies.  Accordingly, conflicts of interest may arise which would influence these persons in evaluating possible mineral property acquisitions or in generally acting on behalf of Amalco.

Escrowed and Pooled Securities
 
Escrowed Securities
 
1,987,617 First Source Shares (the “Commission Escrow Shares”) were initially held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Commission Escrow Agreement”) dated December 7, 2007 among First Source, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the “Escrow Agent”) and Thomas Lamb, Michael Raven, Douglas Smith and Peter Smith.  10% of the Commission Escrow Shares were releasable on February 28, 2008, the date the First Source Shares were listed on the TSXV (the “First Source Listing Date”) and 15% of the Commission Escrow Shares were releasable on each of the 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 month anniversaries of the First Source Listing Date.  As at the date hereof, there are 596,282 Commission Escrow Shares currently being held in escrow by the Escrow Agent.
 
1,700,000 First Source Shares (the “TSXV Escrow Shares”) were initially held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “TSXV Escrow Agreement”) dated December 7, 2007 among First Source, the Escrow Agent, Steve Engh, Vivian Yesnik, Paul Pedersen and Michael Tan.  10% of the TSXV Escrow Shares were releasable on the First Source Listing Date and 15% of the TSXV Escrow Shares were releasable on each of the 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 month anniversaries of the First Source Listing Date.  As at the date hereof, there are 510,000 TSXV Escrow Shares currently being held in escrow by the Escrow Agent.

Upon completion of the Amalgamation, all outstanding Commission Escrow Shares and TSXV Escrow Shares will be automatically exchanged for approximately 505,873 Amalco Shares and 432,671 Amalco Shares, respectively, and such Amalco Shares will remain in escrow on the terms contained in the Commission Escrow Agreement and the TSXV Escrow Agreement, respectively.  If Amalco becomes classified as a Tier 1 Issuer on the TSXV, the remaining Commission Escrow Securities and TSXV Escrow Shares will become released immediately.
 
In addition, following completion of the Amalgamation, all Amalco Shares and Amalco Convertible Securities held by the principals of Amalco (being the directors, officers and holders of 10% or more of the outstanding Amalco Shares) and certain other Holders of Amalco Shares (the “Value Securities”) will be held in escrow with the Escrow Agent pursuant to a “value escrow agreement” in accordance with the policies of the TSXV (the “Value Escrow Agreement”).
 
As a result, five Holders holding an aggregate of 39,401,200 Amalco Shares and 850,000 Amalco Options will be required to enter into Value Escrow Agreements in respect of their securities.  In addition, assuming that conditional listing approval is obtained from the TSXV on June 30, 2010 and assuming the issuance of 46,666,666 Subscription Receipts under the Subscription Receipt Offering, an aggregate of 10,864,932 Amalco Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period, and an additional 1,700,000 Amalco Shares will be subject to a two-year hold period, all in accordance with the seed share resale restrictions in TSXV Policy 5.4 – Escrow, Vendor Consideration and Resale Restrictions.
 
The Escrow Agent will act as escrow agent for the Value Securities. Value Securities will not be released until the TSXV issues the Final TSXV Bulletin.  After the Final TSXV Bulletin is issued, it is anticipated that the Value Securities held by the principals of Amalco will be Value Securities of a “Tier 2 TSXV Issuer”, and will be released from escrow as follows:

Risk Factors Relating to Amalco’s Business and Holding the Amalco Securities
 
First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders voting in favour of the Amalgamation will be choosing to combine the businesses of First Source and CB Gold.  The operations of both First Source and CB Gold are speculative due to the high risk nature and the current stage of development of their businesses, which involve the acquisition of, exploration for and development of mineral properties.  The risk factors described in this section and elsewhere in this Circular describe some but not all of the risks associated with the Amalgamation, Amalco and the holding of Amalco Shares after the completion of the Amalgamation.  Before voting in favour of the Amalgamation, First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders should carefully consider these risks along with other risk factors appearing in this Circular.
 
Risks Associated With First Source, CB Gold and the Amalgamation
 
Conditions to the Transaction, including TSXV approval, may not be satisfied.
 
An application has been made to the TSXV by First Source and CB Gold for approval of the Transaction, including the listing of the Amalco Shares issued in connection with the Transaction.  There is no assurance, however, that such approval will be obtained or that all of the conditions required by the TSXV will be met and that the Amalco Shares will be listed on the TSXV or on any other stock exchange.
 
In addition, there can be no assurance that the other conditions to the completion of the Amalgamation set out in the Amalgamation Agreement will be satisfied or waived and that the Amalgamation will be completed.
 
Obligations and liabilities of First Source and CB Gold.
 
By operation of law, upon completion of the Amalgamation under the BCBCA, all of the property, rights and interests of each of First Source and CB Gold will continue to be the property, rights and interests of Amalco and Amalco will continue to be liable for the obligations of each of First Source and CB Gold.  Furthermore, any
 
 
 

 
122

existing cause of action, claim or liability to prosecution of First Source and CB Gold will be unaffected by the Amalgamation and a legal proceeding being prosecuted or pending by or against First Source or CB Gold may be prosecuted, or its prosecution may be continued, as the case may be, by or against Amalco.
 
Pursuant to the LDP Sale Agreement, ASPM Inc. has agreed to assume all liabilities in relation to the LDP Property and to indemnify, among others, First Source, CB Gold and Amalco in relation to any such liabilities.  However, there can be no assurance that ASPM Inc. will be able to satisfy any such liabilities that may arise in relation to the LDP Property or indemnify First Source, CB Gold or Amalco for any such liabilities.
 
The Subscription Receipt Offering may not be completed in full or at all and its terms may be amended.
 
CB Gold intends to complete the Subscription Receipt Offering for gross proceeds of up to $35,000,000 (excluding any gross proceeds from any Subscription Receipts sold under an over-allotment option granted to the Agents pursuant to the Engagement Agreement).  However, there can be no assurance that the Subscription Receipt Offering will be completed in full or at all or that the terms of the Subscription Receipt Offering will not have to be amended to be less favourable to CB Gold than the terms set out in the Engagement Agreement.  Additionally, assuming completion of the Subscription Receipt Offering, there can be no assurance that the Escrow Release Conditions will be satisfied.  CB Gold currently has limited financial resources and the inability to substantially complete the Subscription Receipt Offering would materially adversely affect Amalco’s ability to conduct exploration activities on the Norte de Santander Gold Project and acquire various properties and conduct exploration at the Vetas Gold Project.  Any change in the terms of the Subscription Receipt Offering may result in the issuance of additional securities of Amalco and increased dilution.
 
Risks Associated With the Business of Amalco Assuming Completion of the Amalgamation
 
An active market for the Amalco Shares may not develop.
 
Prior to the completion of the Amalgamation, there has been no public market for the CB Gold Shares. Upon completion of the Amalgamation, it is expected that the Amalco Shares will be listed on the TSXV.  The Amalgamation and listing of Amalco Shares remain subject to satisfaction of the conditions imposed by the TSXV and such approval may not be received on a basis acceptable to First Source and CB Gold, or at all.
 
An active public market for Amalco Shares may not develop or be sustained after completion of the Amalgamation.  The market price of a publicly traded stock, especially a junior resource issuer, is affected by many variables not directly related to its exploration success, including the market for junior resource stocks, the strength of the economy generally, commodity prices, the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments and the breadth of the public market for the stock.  The effect of these and other factors on the market price of Amalco Shares upon completion of the Amalgamation suggest that the market price of Amalco Shares will be volatile and, if so, First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders may incur substantial losses on their investments.
 
Trading prices of Amalco Shares may be less than the historical trading prices of the First Source Shares.
 
Upon completion of the Amalgamation, the trading price of Amalco Shares may be less than the historical trading prices of the First Source Shares (after a corresponding adjustment to the trading price as a result of the exchange ratio of 0.254512 of one Amalco Share for every one First Source Share under the Amalgamation) and it is impossible to predict the trading prices of Amalco Shares after completion of the Amalgamation.  Accordingly, the historical trading prices of First Source Shares may not be indicative of the trading price of Amalco Shares.
 
If there are substantial sales of Amalco Shares, the trading price of Amalco Shares will likely decline significantly.
 
Upon completion of the Amalgamation, if Holders of Amalco Shares undertake substantial sales of Amalco Shares, the trading price of such shares will likely decline significantly.  Additionally, sales of a large number of Amalco Shares in the public market or the potential for such sales over time could cause the trading price of Amalco Shares to decline significantly and could impair Amalco’s ability to raise capital through future sales of Amalco Shares.
 
 
 

 
123

 
Dependence on two principal exploration stage projects.
 
The operations of Amalco will be dependant upon the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project.  These projects may never develop into commercially viable ore bodies, which would have a material adverse effect on Amalco’s potential mineral resource production, profitability, financial performance and results of operation.
 
Failure to obtain remaining concessions comprising the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project.
 
CB Gold’s interest in the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project is derived from a number of concessions, certain of which have not yet been transferred to CB Gold but are expected to be transferred by the end of 2010.  Although CB Gold has no reason to believe that the acquisition of such concessions will not be completed as expected, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. Any failure to acquire the remaining concessions could have a material adverse effect on Amalco’s business.
 
Current Production on the Vetas Gold Project may give rise to environmental liabilities.
 
Currently, at least ten small underground mines are in production at the Vetas Gold Project.  These operations are owned by individuals or partnerships of small companies located at the village of Vetas which are unrelated to CB Gold.  Although CB Gold has established contact with the owners and operators of these mines and undertaken certain investigations in connection with their operations, there can be no assurance that production at these mines is being conducted in full compliance with the various government and environmental regulations required under the Colombian mining regime.  To the extent that any of the mines are not in compliance with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements, enforcement actions thereunder, including orders of regulatory or judicial authorities, may be taken against Amalco as a result of its interest in the Vetas Gold Project.  Any such actions or orders may cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production, or require abandonment or delays the exploration and in development of current or new mining properties.
 
Dependence on future financing.
 
Amalco’s business plan calls for substantial investment and cost in connection with the exploration and development of the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project.  There can be no assurance that Amalco will have the funds required to make such expenditures or that those expenditures will prove profitable.  Any direct acquisition of any of the claims under lease or option is subject to Amalco’s ability to obtain the financing necessary for it to fund and carry out exploration programs on the subject properties.  The requirements are substantial.  Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including market prices for minerals, investor acceptance of Amalco’s properties and investor sentiment.  These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to Amalco.  The most likely source of future funds presently available to Amalco is through equity or debt financings.  Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.
 
Depending on future exploration and development plans, Amalco may require additional financing which may not be available or, if available, may not be available on favourable terms.
 
 
 

 
124

 
Political and economic uncertainties in Colombia.
 
Amalco’s principal mineral properties will be located in Colombia.  Although Colombia has a long-standing tradition respecting the rule of law which has been bolstered in recent years by the present government’s policies and programs, no assurances can be given that Amalco’s plans and operations will not be adversely affected by future developments in Colombia.  Operations in Colombia are subject to risk due to the potential for social, political, economic, legal and fiscal instability.  The government in Colombia faces ongoing problems of inflation, unemployment and inequitable income distribution.  While the Colombian economy has experienced growth in recent years, such growth may not continue in the future at similar rates or at all. If the economy of Colombia fails to continue its growth or suffers a recession, Amalco’s exploration efforts may be affected.  Amalco does not carry political risk insurance.
 
Further, Colombia has in the past experienced a difficult security environment. In particular, various illegal groups that may be active in and around regions in which Amalco has or may have operations may pose a credible threat of terrorism, extortion and kidnapping, which could have an adverse effect on Amalco’s operations in such regions.  Colombia is also home to South America’s largest and longest running insurgency and large swaths of the countryside are under guerrilla influence.  In addition, Colombia experiences narcotics-related violence and civil unrest in certain areas of the country.  Such instability may require Amalco to suspend operations on its properties.  In the event that continued operations in these regions compromise Amalco’s security or business principles, Amalco may withdraw from these regions on a temporary or permanent basis, which, in turn, could have a material adverse impact on Amalco’s results of operations and financial condition.
 
Although CB Gold is not presently aware of any circumstances or facts which may cause the foregoing to occur, other risks may involve matters arising out of the evolving laws and policies in Colombia, any future imposition of special taxes or similar charges, as well as foreign exchange fluctuations and currency convertibility and controls, the unenforceability of contractual rights or the taking or nationalization of property without fair compensation, restrictions on the use of expatriates in CB Gold’s operations or other matters.  Amalco also bears the risk that changes can occur in the government of Colombia and a new government may void or change the laws and regulations upon which Amalco will be relying in planning and conducting its business activities.  See “Amalco will be subject to various government regulations and environmental concerns.” below.
 
Additionally, the perception that matters have not improved in Colombia may hinder Amalco’s ability to access capital markets in a timely or cost effective manner.
 
No known resources or reserves on Amalco’s properties.
 
CB Gold has not found any mineral resources or reserves on its claims and there can be no assurance that any of the mineral claims under exploration contain commercial quantities of any minerals.  Even if commercial quantities of minerals are identified, there can be no assurance that Amalco will be able to exploit the reserves or, if Amalco is able to exploit them, that it will do so on a profitable basis.  Substantial expenditures may be required to locate and establish mineral resources and reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site, and substantial additional financing may be required.  It is impossible to ensure that the exploration or development programs planned by Amalco will result in a profitable commercial mining operation.  The decision as to whether a particular property contains a commercial mineral deposit and should be brought into production will depend on the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies, and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists.  Several significant factors will be considered, including, but not limited to: (i) the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; (ii) metal prices, which are highly cyclical; (iii) government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection; (iv) ongoing costs of production; and (v) availability and cost of additional funding.  The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in Amalco not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
 
Historical dependence on distributions of securities for funding requirements.
 
The principal source of funds available to each of CB Gold and First Source has been primarily through equity financings and it is expected that Amalco will continue to raise funds through the distribution of Amalco Shares. From incorporation to the date hereof, CB Gold has raised approximately $10,000,000 by issuing 69,710,136 CB
 
 
 

 
125

Gold Shares.  From incorporation to the date hereof, First Source has raised approximately $1,500,000 by issuing 9,330,955 First Source Shares.  Upon successful completion of the Amalgamation and the Subscription Receipt Offering, management of First Source and CB Gold believe that the resulting funds that would be available to Amalco at the time of the completion of the Transaction would enable it to continue operations and meet obligations under its property agreements until the end of 2011, after which further funding would be required.  Future equity financing undertaken by Amalco will cause dilution to existing Holders of Amalco Shares.
 
Uncertainty in global markets and economic conditions.
 
Recently, global markets as well as general economic conditions have been disrupted and volatile.  In 2008 and 2009, the financial services industry and the securities markets generally were materially and adversely affected by significant declines in the values of nearly all asset classes.  Concerns regarding the financial strength of financial institutions have led to distress in credit markets and issues relating to liquidity among financial institutions.  Some financial institutions around the world have failed and others have been forced to seek acquisition partners.  Various governments have taken steps to try to stabilize the financial system, including investing in financial institutions.
 
As discussed above, CB Gold and First Source have, and Amalco will, rely on the capital markets for necessary capital expenditures.  As a result, the business, financial condition and operations of Amalco could be adversely affected by: (i) continued disruption and volatility in financial markets; (ii) continued capital and liquidity concerns regarding financial institutions generally and hindering Amalco’s counterparties specifically; (iii) limitations resulting from governmental action in an effort to stabilize or provide additional regulation of the financial system; or (iv) recessionary conditions that are deeper or last longer than currently anticipated.
 
Amalco may not be able to generate revenues.
 
Amalco will have a limited operating history and must be considered to be an exploration stage company. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises.  The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that Amalco plans to undertake.  These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.  The expenditures to be made by Amalco in the exploration of mineral claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits.  Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations of rock or land and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts.  If the results of future exploration programs do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, Amalco may decide to abandon its claims and acquire new claims for new exploration or cease operations.
 
Further, neither CB Gold nor First Source has earned any revenues as of the date of this Circular and neither has ever been profitable.  Neither company has an interest in any revenue generating properties.  Prior to being able to generate revenues, Amalco will incur substantial operating and exploration expenditures.  Based upon current plans, Amalco is expected to incur significant operating losses into the foreseeable future.  Management of CB Gold and First Source cannot guarantee that Amalco will be successful in raising capital to fund these operating losses or generate revenues in the future.  There can be no assurance that Amalco will ever generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations.  If Amalco is unsuccessful in addressing these risks, Amalco’s business will most likely fail and its investors could lose their entire investment.
 
The speculative nature of the exploration of natural resource properties.
 
While the discovery of a commercially viable ore body may result in substantial rewards, few mineral properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  There is no assurance that any of the claims Amalco will explore or acquire will contain commercially exploitable reserves of minerals. Exploration for natural resources is a speculative venture involving substantial risk.  Even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate such risk.  Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, cave-ins, landslides and the inability of Amalco to obtain suitable machinery, equipment or labour are all risks involved with the conduct of exploration programs and the operation of mines.  While appropriate precautions to mitigate these risks are planned to be taken, operations are subject to hazards such as equipment failure or failure of structures which may result in
 
 
 

 
126

environmental pollution and consequent liability.  Even though Amalco intends to obtain liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable or Amalco might not elect to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event Amalco could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition.  See also “- There are uninsurable risks which could reduce or eliminate any future profitability”.
 
There are uninsurable risks which could reduce or eliminate any future profitability.
 
In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, several risks and, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological or operating conditions, may occur.  It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and Amalco may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons.  Should such liabilities arise they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in an increase in costs and a decline in the value of Amalco Shares.
 
As of the date of this Circular, neither CB Gold nor First Source is insured against environmental risks.  Insurance against environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) has not been generally available to companies within the industry.  Amalco will periodically evaluate the cost and coverage of the insurance against certain environmental risks that is available to determine if it would be appropriate to obtain such insurance.  Without such insurance, and if Amalco becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities would reduce or eliminate its available funds or could exceed the funds Amalco has to pay such liabilities and result in bankruptcy.  Should Amalco be unable to fund fully the remedial cost of an environmental problem, it might be required to enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy.
 
Amalco may not have good title to its mining claims.
 
Amalco will not maintain insurance against title.  Title on mineral properties and mining rights involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history of many mining properties.  CB Gold has diligently investigated title to its mineral claims; however, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title.  Amalco will continue to diligently investigate and seek to confirm title to mineral concessions which it holds either directly or through its equity interest in its Subsidiaries.  Amalco cannot give any assurance that title to any of its properties will not be challenged or impugned and cannot guarantee that Amalco will have or acquire valid title to these mining properties.  For example, there is a risk that the Colombian government may in the future grant additional titles to small miners currently mining on the Vetas Gold Project or Amalco may be unable to convince current miners to vacate the Vetas Gold Project.  The possibility also exists that title to existing properties or future prospective properties may be lost due to an omission in the claim of title, prior activities of the property vendors or changes in the Laws or application thereof which affects Amalco’s title or by Amalco’s inability to honour its contractual purchase obligations.
 
CB Gold has obtained a title report from Colombian legal counsel with respect to title to its properties at the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project, but this should not be construed as a guarantee of title.  Other parties may dispute the title of CB Gold (and therefore Amalco) to any of its mineral properties and any of such properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected encumbrances or defects or governmental actions.
 
Use of unreliable historical data.
 
CB Gold has compiled technical data in respect of the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project, most of which was not prepared by CB Gold.  While the data represents a useful resource for Amalco, much of it must be verified by Amalco before being relied upon in formulating exploration programs.
 
Competition from other exploration companies.
 
Amalco will compete with other exploration companies which have greater financial resources and technical facilities for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the
 
 
 

 
127

recruitment and retention of qualified employees.  Amalco’s ability to locate and increase resources and reserves in the future will depend not only on its ability to explore and develop its present properties, but also on its ability to select, acquire and develop suitable properties or prospects.  Further, the gross disparity in size between large and small mining producers in Colombia restricts small producers in that they have limited influence to secure access to Colombia’s transportation infrastructure, including rail and port facilities.  This access is necessary for producers to access international export markets for their production and to competitively sell Colombian minerals in international markets.  Amalco may have difficulties successfully accessing transportation infrastructure necessary to export the minerals it may produce in the future.
 
As a result of this competition, Amalco may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on terms it considers acceptable or at all.  Consequently, Amalco’s revenues, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Dependence on key personnel.
 
Amalco’s operations will be highly dependent on its President and Chief Executive Officer, Fabio Capponi, and its Vice President, Corporate Development and Chairman, Giles Baynham, as well as on certain other key members of its management team who have significant contacts and experience conducting business in Colombia.  The failure to retain such individuals would materially adversely affect Amalco’s business.  Amalco’s success is also largely dependent on its ability to hire and retain other highly qualified personnel.  This is particularly true in highly technical businesses such as mineral exploration.  These individuals are in high demand and Amalco may not be able to attract the personnel it needs.  In addition, Amalco may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or it may not be able to retain such employees after they are hired.  Failure to hire key personnel when needed or to retain such personnel, on acceptable terms, would have a significant negative effect on Amalco’s business.
 
Inability of Amalco’s directors and officers to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business may limit Amalco’s success.
 
Presently some of the proposed directors and officers will allocate only a portion of their time to the operation of Amalco’s business.  If the business requires more time for operations than anticipated or the business develops faster than anticipated, the proposed directors and officers may not be able to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business to ensure that it continues as a going concern.  Even if this lack of sufficient time of management is not fatal to Amalco’s existence, it may result in limited growth and success of the business.
 
Government regulations and environmental concerns.
 
Amalco will be subject to various government and environmental regulations. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of exploration, mining operations and reclamation.  Amalco cannot predict the extent to which future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the development of the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project.  Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions.
 
Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mineral exploration, development, construction, operation and reclamation.  In the context of environmental permitting, including the approval of reclamation plans, Amalco must comply with known standards, existing laws and regulations that may entail greater or lesser costs and delays, depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and how stringently the regulations are implemented or enforced by the permitting authority.  Parties engaged in the exploration or development of exploration properties may also be required to compensate those incurring loss or damage by reason of such parties’ activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.  Any significant operations will have some environmental impact, including land and habitat impact, arising from the use of land for mining and related activities, and certain impact on water resources near the project sites, resulting from water use, rock disposal and drainage run-off or accidental discharge.  No assurances can be given that required approvals will be obtained from regulatory or environmental authorities in a timely manner or at all.  While
 
 
 

 
128

each of First Source and CB Gold do not believe that it has any material environmental obligations, exploration activities may give rise in the future to significant liabilities on Amalco’s part to the government and third parties and may require substantial costs of remediation.
 
Further, any changes in these laws could affect the operations and economics of Amalco.  Future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the development of Amalco’s properties, the extent of which cannot be predicted.  Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of exploration companies, or more stringent implementation or enforcement thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the business of Amalco and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or a reduction in levels of production, when producing, or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
 
If Amalco becomes more active on its properties, it is reasonable to expect that compliance with environmental regulations will increase costs.  Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of proposed operations, costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water treatment and protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact on wildlife, and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.  It is possible that the costs and delays associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that Amalco may decide not to proceed with the exploration, development or, if relevant, mining operations on the Norte de Santander Gold Project or the Vetas Gold Project.
 
On February 9, 2010, the Colombian Congress implemented the 2010 Code Amendment which prohibits mining and exploration activity in the “Paramo” ecosystem.  The areas of Paramo are identified according to the geographical information provided by the Alexander Von Humboldt Biological Resources Research Institute in Colombia and will have to be delimited by the relevant environmental authority based on technical, social and environmental studies.  It is not clear whether or how the 2010 Code Amendment or the determination of the areas that fall within the Paramo ecosystem will affect the Norte de Santander Gold Project or the Vetas Gold Project.  There is a risk that Amalco’s properties or the economic viability of its projects will be materially adversely affected.
 
Issuances of securities of Amalco will result in dilution to Holders of Amalco Shares.
 
After giving effect to the Subscription Receipt Offering (assuming the issuance of 46,666,666 Subscription Receipts under such offering) and the Amalgamation, there will be 119,030,703 Amalco Shares issued and outstanding, as well as 3,646,814 Amalco Options, 23,333,333 Amalco Financing Warrants and 2,800,000 Amalco Agent Compensation Options outstanding.  In the event that all of such Amalco Options, Amalco Financing Warrants and Agent Compensation Options, and the Amalco Agent Warrants issuable upon exercise of such Amalco Agent Compensation Options, are exercised, an aggregate of 150,210,850 Amalco Shares would be issued and outstanding.
 
The Holders of Amalco Options, Amalco Financing Warrants, Amalco Agent Compensation Options and, if issued pursuant to the terms of the Amalco Agent Compensation Options, the Amalco Agent Warrants, will have an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of Amalco Shares with a resulting dilution in the interests of Holders of Amalco Shares.  Amalco’s ability to obtain additional financing during the period such rights are outstanding may be adversely affected and the existence of the rights may have an adverse effect on the price of Amalco Shares.  The Holders of Amalco Options, Amalco Financing Warrants, Amalco Agent Compensation Options and, if issued pursuant to the terms of the Amalco Agent Compensation Options, the Amalco Agent Warrants, may exercise such securities at a time when Amalco would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favourable than those provided by the outstanding rights.
 
The increase in the number of Amalco Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Amalco Shares.  In addition, as a result of such additionally issued Amalco Shares, the voting power that the First Source Shareholders and CB Gold Shareholders will have as Holders of Amalco Shares immediately after completion of the Amalgamation will be diluted.
 
In addition to the potential issuance of Amalco Shares pursuant to the Amalco Convertible Securities and the Amalco Agent Warrants, an aggregate of up to an additional 6,000,000 Amalco Shares are issuable pursuant to the PSA, option agreements and other property acquisition agreements in connection with the acquisition of properties at the Norte de Santander Gold Project and the Vetas Gold Project.
 
 
 

 
129

 
Officers and directors of Amalco will own significant Amalco Shares and can exercise significant influence.
 
The officers and directors of Amalco, as a group, will beneficially own, on a non-diluted basis, approximately 33.1% of the outstanding Amalco Shares following the completion of the Subscription Receipt Offering (assuming the issuance of 46,666,666 Subscription Receipts under such offering) and the Amalgamation and approximately 26.2% of the outstanding Amalco Shares assuming the exercise of the Amalco Options, the Amalco Financing Warrants, the Amalco Agent Compensation Options and the Amalco Agent Warrants issuable pursuant to such offering.  As shareholders of Amalco, the officers and directors will be able to exert significant influence on matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of any significant corporate transactions.  The concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible to complete without the support of these shareholders.
 
Infrastructure in Colombia may not be adequate to support Amalco’s operations.
 
Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important factors affecting capital and operating costs.  Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect Amalco’s operations, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Management of CB Gold believes that the infrastructure weaknesses in Colombia are comparable to those in many other remote mining locations in other parts of the world.
 
Conflicts of interest.
 
Certain of the directors and officers of Amalco are or may become directors of other mineral exploration companies and as such may, in certain circumstances, have a conflict of interest requiring them to abstain from certain decisions of the Amalco Board.  To the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which Amalco is also participating, such directors and officers may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and reaching an agreement with respect to the extent of each company’s participation.  The corporate laws of British Columbia require the directors and officers to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Amalco.  However, in conflict of interest situations, Amalco’s directors and officers may owe the same duty to another company and will need to balance the competing obligations and liabilities of their actions.  There is no assurance that the interests of Amalco will receive priority in all cases.
 
Marketability of mineralized material is subject to numerous factors.
 
The marketability of mineralized material which may be acquired or discovered by Amalco will be affected by numerous factors beyond its control.  These factors include market fluctuations in the prices of minerals sought (see “Fluctuation in mineral prices” below), which are highly volatile, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.  The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but may result in Amalco not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
 
Fluctuation in mineral prices.
 
Future mineral prices cannot be accurately predicted and have experienced volatile and significant price movements over short periods of time.  Mineral prices are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Amalco, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, the Colombian peso relative to other currencies), interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods.  In particular, the supply of and demand for gold and silver are affected by, among other factors, political events, economic conditions and production costs in major gold producing regions and governmental or central bank policies with respect to gold holdings.  Because mining occurs over a number of years, it may be prudent to continue mining for some periods during which cash flows are temporarily negative for a variety of reasons including a belief that the low price is
 
 
 

 
130

temporary and/or the greater expense that would be incurred in closing a property permanently.  A severe decline in the price of gold or silver would have a material adverse effect on Amalco and could result in the suspension of its exploration or development programs or any mining operations.
 
Mineralized material calculations and life-of-mine plans using significantly lower metal prices could result in material write-downs of Amalco’s investments in mining properties and increased amortization, reclamation and closure charges in the event that a mine is developed.
 
In addition to adversely affecting mineralized material estimates, declining metal prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the commercial feasibility of a particular project.  Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision related to a particular project.  Even if the project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays in development or may interrupt operations, if any, until the reassessment can be completed.
 
No cash dividends on Amalco Shares.
 
Shareholders should not anticipate receiving cash dividends on the Amalco Shares.  Neither CB Gold nor First Source has ever declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on its common shares.  It is currently expected that Amalco will retain future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance explorations and therefore not pay any cash dividends on Amalco Shares in the foreseeable future.
 
Repatriation of earnings.
 
Currently there are no restrictions on the repatriation from Colombia of earnings to foreign entities and Colombia has never imposed such restrictions.  However, there can be no assurance that restrictions on repatriation of earnings from Colombia will not be imposed in the future.  Exchange control regulations require that any proceeds in foreign currency originated on exports of goods from Colombia (including minerals) be repatriated to Colombia.  However, purchase of foreign currency is allowed through any Colombian authorized financial entities for purposes of payments to foreign suppliers, repayment of foreign debt, payment of dividends to foreign shareholders and other foreign expenses.
 
Increased costs and compliance risks as a result of being a public company.
 
Legal, accounting and other expenses associated with public company reporting requirements have increased significantly in recent years.  Management of First Source and CB Gold anticipate that general and administrative costs associated with regulatory compliance will continue to increase with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including rules implemented by the Canadian Securities Administrators and the TSXV, and will result in some activities becoming more time-consuming and costly.  There can be no assurance that Amalco will be able to effectively meet all of the requirements of these new regulations, including National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”).  Any failure to effectively implement internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm Amalco’s operating results, result in the failure to meet reporting obligations or result in management being required to give a qualified assessment of Amalco’s internal controls over financial reporting or Amalco’s independent auditors providing an adverse opinion regarding management’s assessment.  Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in Amalco’s reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of Amalco Shares.  These new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for Amalco to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain appropriate coverage.  As a result, it may be more difficult for Amalco to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on its board of directors or as executive officers.  If Amalco fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, Amalco’s ability to provide accurate financial statements and comply with the requirements of NI 52-109 could be impaired, which could cause the market price of Amalco Shares to decrease.
 
NGO intervention.
 
A number of non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”) are becoming increasingly active in Colombia as the security and safety in Colombia increases.  These organizations may create or encourage public unrest and anti-
 
 
 

 
131

mining sentiment among the inhabitants in areas of mineral development.  Such organizations have been involved, with financial assistance from other groups, in mobilizing sufficient local anti-mining sentiment to prevent the issuance of required permits for the development of other mineral projects.
 
Use of available funds.
 
Management of CB Gold intends to allocate the available funds as described under “Part IV:  Information Concerning Amalco - Available Funds and Principal Use of Funds” in this Circular.  However, management of Amalco will have the discretion in the actual application of the available funds, and may determine to allocate such funds differently from that described if they believe it would be in Amalco best interest to do so as circumstances change.  The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the business of Amalco.
 
Currency risk.
 
Amalco anticipates reporting its financial results and maintains its accounts in Canadian dollars and the markets for gold and silver are principally denominated in United States dollars.  Amalco’s operations in Colombia will make it subject to further foreign currency fluctuations and such fluctuations may materially affect Amalco’s financial position and results.  The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk from the exchange rate of the Colombian peso relative to the Canadian and United States dollars.  Foreign exchange risk is mainly derived from assets and liabilities stated in Colombian pesos.  Management of CB Gold intends to limit Amalco’s foreign exchange risk by the acquisition of short-term financial instruments and, when possible, minimize its pesos monetary asset positions.
 
Enforcement of civil liabilities.
 
Substantially all of Amalco’s assets will be located outside of Canada and certain of the directors and officers of Amalco are or may be resident outside of Canada.  As a result, it may be difficult or impossible to enforce judgments granted by a court in Canada against the assets of Amalco or Amalco’s directors and officers residing outside of Canada.
 
Joint ventures.
 
Amalco may enter into joint ventures in the future.  Any failure of a joint venture partner to meet its obligations to Amalco or third parties, or any disputes with respect to the parties’ respective rights and obligations, could have a material adverse effect on such joint ventures.  In addition, Amalco may be unable to exert influence over strategic decisions made in respect of properties that are the subject of such joint ventures.
 
Principal properties are located in remote areas.
 
Certain of Amalco’s exploration operations are located in remote areas, some of which have harsh climates, resulting in technical challenges for conducting both geological exploration and mining.  It is expected that Amalco will have access to modern mining equipment, skills and technologies for operating in areas with harsh climates.  Nevertheless, Amalco may sometimes be unable to overcome problems related to weather and climate at a commercially reasonable cost, which could have a material adverse effect on Amalco’s business and results of operations.  The remote location of Amalco’s principal operations also results in increased costs and transportation difficulties.
 
Auditors, Registrar and Transfer Agent
 
The auditors of Amalco will be BDO Canada LLP at its offices at 600-925 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3L2.
 
The registrar and transfer agent of the Amalco Shares will be Computershare Investor Services Inc., at its offices at 4th Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9.

4.
EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
   
4.1
When Options May be Exercised
   
 
Subject to this Section 4, an Option may be exercised to purchase any number of Option Shares up to the number of Unissued Option Shares that have Vested at any time after the Grant Date up to 5 p.m. in the location where the Company has its head office on the Expiry Date and shall not be exercisable thereafter.

 
 
 

 
C-7

 
   
4.2
Manner of Exercise
   
 
The Option shall be exercisable by delivering, prior to the Expiry Date, to the Company at its head office, a written notice specifying the number of Option Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised together with payment in full of the Option Price for each such Option Share.  All Option Shares subscribed for upon exercise of the Option shall be paid in full at the time of subscription.  No fractional Shares may be purchased or issued hereunder.
   
4.3
Vesting of Options
   
 
With the exception of Options granted to a Consultant who performs Investor Relations Activities, all Options granted to a Participant under the Plan will become vested on the Grant Date, or at such other time as may be established by the Board at the time of the grant in compliance with requirements of the Exchange.  For Options granted to a Consultant who performs Investor Relations Activities, the Board will, at the time of grant, determine the vesting date for such Options, provided that such Options must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than one-quarter of the Options vesting in any three-month period.
   
4.4
Termination of Employment or Affiliation
   
 
If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person, his or her Options shall be exercisable as follows:
   
 
(a)
Death, Disability or Retirement.  If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person due to his or her death, Disability or retirement in accordance with the Company's retirement policy in force from time to time, or, in the case of a Participant that is a company, the death, Disability or retirement of the person who provides management or consulting services to the Company or to an Affiliate, the Option then held by the Participant shall be exercisable to acquire Unissued Option Shares that have Vested at the time of death, Disability or retirement at any time up to but not after the earlier of:
     
   
(i)
365 days after the date of death, Disability or retirement; and
       
   
(ii)
the Expiry Date;
     
 
(b)
Termination For Cause.  If the Participant, or the Participant's employer in the case of an Option granted to a Consultant, ceases to be an Eligible Person as a result of termination for Cause, any outstanding Options held by such Participant on the date of such termination, whether in respect of Option Shares that are Vested or not, shall be cancelled as of the date of delivery of written notice of termination (and specifically without regard to the date any period of reasonable notice, if any, would expire);
     
 
(c)
Early Retirement, Voluntary Resignation or Termination Other than For Cause.  If the Participant, or the Participant's employer in the case of an Option granted to a Consultant, ceases to be an Eligible Person due to his or her retirement at the

 
 

 
C-8
 

 
   
request of his or her employer earlier than the normal retirement date under the Company's retirement policy then in force, or due to his or her voluntary resignation or due to the termination of his or her employment by the Company for reasons other than Cause, the Option then held by the Participant shall be exercisable, subject to section (d), to acquire Unissued Option Shares that have Vested at the time of retirement, resignation or termination for reasons other than Cause, at any time up to but not after the earlier of:
     
   
(i)
the Expiry Date;
       
   
(ii)
30 days after the Participant, or the Participant's employer in the case of an Option granted to a Consultant, ceases active employment or engagement with the Company or an Affiliate; and
       
   
(iii)
30 days after the date of delivery of written notice of retirement, resignation or termination (and specifically without regard to the date any period of reasonable notice, if any, would expire); and
     
 
(d)
Blackout Period Allowance.  For greater certainty, if at the time the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person due to early retirement, voluntary resignation or termination by the Company for reasons other than Cause, there is a Blackout Period, or if at any time during the 30 day period set out in Sections 4.4(c)(ii) and 4.4(c)(iii), there is a Blackout Period, then in calculating the time that the Option then held by the Participant shall be exercisable to acquire any Unissued Option Shares that have Vested, the 30 days shall be in addition to any such Blackout Period.  For the purposes of this Section 4.4(d), “Blackout Period” means an interval of time during which the Company has determined that no Participant may trade any securities of the Company because they may be in possession of confidential information.
     
 
For greater certainty, an Option that had not become Vested in respect of any Unissued Option Shares at the time that the relevant events referred to in Sections 4.4(a), 4.4(b), 4.4(c) or 4.4(d) occurred, shall not be or become exercisable in respect of such Unissued Option Shares and shall be cancelled.
   
4.5
Effect of a Take-Over Bid
   
 
If a bona fide offer (an “Offer”) for Shares is made to the Participant or to shareholders of the Company generally or to a class of shareholders which includes the Participant, which Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in the offeror becoming a control person of the Company, within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Company shall, immediately upon receipt of notice of the Offer, notify each Participant of full particulars of the Offer, whereupon all Options will become Vested and each Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Participant so as to permit the Participant to tender the Option Shares received upon such exercise pursuant to the Offer.  However, if:
   
 
(a)
the Offer is not completed within the time specified therein; or

 
 

 
C-9
 
 
     
 
(b)
all of the Option Shares tendered by the Participant pursuant to the Offer are not taken up or paid for by the offeror in respect thereof,
   
 
then the Option Shares received upon such exercise, or in the case of Section 4.5(b) the Option Shares that are not taken up and paid for, shall be returned by the Participant to the Company and reinstated as authorized but Unissued Option Shares and, with respect to such returned Option Shares, the Option shall be reinstated as if it had not been exercised and the terms for such Options becoming Vested shall be reinstated pursuant to Section 4.3.  If any Options are returned to the Company under this Section 4.5, the Company shall immediately refund the exercise price to the Participant for such Option Shares.
   
4.6
Acceleration of Expiry Date
   
 
If at any time when an Option granted under the Plan remains unexercised with respect to any Unissued Option Shares, an Offer is made by an offeror, the Board may, upon notifying each Participant of full particulars of the Offer, declare that all Options granted under the Plan be Vested and accelerate the Expiry Date for the exercise of all unexercised Options granted under the Plan so that all Options will either be exercised or expire prior to the date upon which Shares must be tendered pursuant to the Offer.
   
4.7
Effect of a Change of Control
   
 
If a Change of Control occurs, the timing of when an Option granted under the Plan will become Vested may be accelerated in accordance with any agreement between the Company and a Participant.
   
4.8
Exclusion from Severance Allowance, Retirement Allowance or Termination Settlement
   
 
If the Participant, or the Participant's employer in the case of an Option granted to a Consultant, retires, resigns or is terminated from employment or engagement with the Company or an Affiliate, the loss or limitation, if any, pursuant to the Option Agreement with respect to the right to purchase Option Shares which were not Vested at that time or which, if Vested, were cancelled, shall not give rise to any right to damages and shall not be included in the calculation of nor form any part of any severance allowance, retiring allowance or termination settlement of any kind whatsoever in respect of such Participant.
   
4.9
Shares Not Acquired
   
 
Any Unissued Option Shares not acquired by a Participant under an Option, which have expired or have been cancelled, may be made the subject of a further Option grant pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
   
4.10
Right to Participate in New Issues
   
 
To the extent that shareholders of the Company are entitled to participate in new issues of Shares, a Participant, with respect to Vested Options held by such Participant, shall not be entitled to participate in respect of such Vested Options, unless such Participant first
 
 
 
 

 
C-10
 
 
 
exercises the Vested Options and converts such Vested Options to Option Shares in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
   
5.
ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION PRICE AND NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES
   
5.1
Share Reorganization
   
 
In the event the Company issues Shares to all or substantially all holders of Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, or subdivides all outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, or combines or consolidates all outstanding Shares into a lesser number of Shares (each of such events being a “Share Reorganization”), then effective immediately after the effective date for such Share Reorganization for each Option:
   
 
(a)
the Option Price will be adjusted to a price per Option Share which is the product of:
     
   
(i)
the Option Price in effect immediately before the effective date for the Share Reorganization; and
       
   
(ii)
a fraction the numerator of which is the total number of Shares outstanding on the effective date of the Share Reorganization before giving effect to the Share Reorganization, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares that are or would be outstanding immediately after the effective date of the Share Reorganization after giving effect to the Share Reorganization; and
     
 
(b)
the number of Unissued Option Shares will be adjusted by multiplying (i) the number of Unissued Option Shares immediately before the effective date of the Share Reorganization by (ii) a fraction which is the reciprocal of the fraction described in section 5.1(a)(ii).
   
5.2
Special Distribution
   
 
Subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, in the event the Company issues by way of a dividend or otherwise distributes to all or substantially all holders of Shares:
   
 
(a)
shares of the Company, other than Shares;
     
 
(b)
evidences of indebtedness;
     
 
(c)
any cash or other assets, excluding cash dividends (other than cash dividends which the Board has determined to be outside the normal course); or
     
 
(d)
rights, options or warrants,
   
 
then to the extent that such dividend or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization (any of such non-excluded events being a “Special Distribution”), and effective immediately after the effective date at which holders of Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution, for each Option the Option Price will be

 
 
 

 
C-11

 
 
reduced, and the number of Unissued Option Shares will be correspondingly increased, by such amount, if any, as is determined by the Board in its sole and unfettered discretion to be appropriate in order to properly reflect any diminution in value of the Shares as a result of such Special Distribution.
   
5.3
Corporate Organization
   
 
Whenever there is:
   
 
(a)
a reclassification of outstanding Shares, a change of Shares into other shares or securities, or any other capital reorganization of the Company, other than as described in sections 5.1 or 5.2;
     
 
(b)
a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into another Company resulting in a reclassification of outstanding Shares into other shares or securities or a change of Shares into other shares or securities; or
     
 
(c)
a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Company's undertaking and assets become the property of another Company,
     
   
(any such event being a “Corporate Reorganization”)
   
 
the Participant will have an option to purchase (at the times, for the consideration and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Plan and the Option Agreement) and will accept on the exercise of such option, in lieu of the Unissued Option Shares which he or she would otherwise have been entitled to purchase, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property that he or she would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Corporate Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he or she had been the holder of all Unissued Option Shares or, if appropriate, as otherwise determined by the Board.
   
5.4
Determination of Option Price and Number of Unissued Option Shares
   
 
If any questions arise at any time with respect to the Option Price or number of Unissued Option Shares deliverable upon exercise of an Option following a Share Reorganization, Special Distribution or Corporate Reorganization, such questions shall be conclusively determined by the Company's auditors or, if the Company's auditors decline to so act, any other firm of nationally or internationally recognized chartered accountants in Canada that the Board may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records, and such determination will be binding upon the Company and all Participants.
   
5.5
Compliance with Regulatory Authorities
   
 
Notwithstanding Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, in the event of any reorganization (including, without limitation, consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return of the issued capital of the Company), on or prior to the Expiry Date, the rights of the Participant will be changed to the extent necessary at the time of such reorganization, in such manner as determined by the Board, to ensure compliance with the policies of the Exchange that apply to a reorganization of capital at the time of such reorganization.  For greater

 
 
 

 
C-12

 
 
certainty, any adjustment to the Option Price or the number of Unissued Option Shares purchasable under the Plan pursuant to the operation of any one of Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 is subject to the approval of the Exchange and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction.
   
6.
MISCELLANEOUS
   
6.1
Right to Employment

6.2
Related Rights and Other Benefit Plans
   
 
No Participant shall have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Option Shares (including, without limitation, voting rights or any right to receive dividends, warrants or rights under any rights offering) until such Option Shares have been issued to such Participant upon exercise of the Option and the Participant has made full payment to the Company.  Participation in the Plan shall not affect an Eligible Person’s eligibility to participate in any other benefit or incentive plan of the Company.  The grant of any Option pursuant to the Plan shall not obligate the Company to make any benefit available to an Eligible Person under any other plan of the Company unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan.
   
6.3
Necessary Approvals
   
 
The Plan shall be effective only upon the approval of the shareholders of the Company.  The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Option Shares in accordance with the Plan is subject to the approval of the Exchange and any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the Plan or the shareholders of the Company.  If any Option Shares cannot be issued to any Participant for any reason, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain such approval, then the obligation of the Company to issue such Option Shares shall terminate and any Option Price paid by a Participant to the Company shall be immediately refunded to the Participant by the Company.
   
6.4
Income Taxes
   
 
As a condition of and prior to participation in the Plan, any Participant shall on request by the Company authorize the Company in writing to withhold from any remuneration otherwise payable to him or her any amounts required by any taxing authority to be withheld for taxes of any kind as a consequence of his or her participation in the Plan.

Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)

Note 1             Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared to show the effect of the proposed amalgamation between First Source Resources Inc. (“First Source” or the “Company”) and CB Gold Inc. (“CB Gold”) on the basis of the assumptions and adjustments made by management described in Note 2.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been compiled from information derived from the unaudited balance sheet of First Source as at January 31, 2010 and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of CB Gold as at March 31, 2010.

It is management’s opinion that these unaudited proforma consolidated balance sheet includes all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation, in all material respects, of the transactions described in Note 2 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with the Company’s accounting policies.  The pro forma consolidated balance sheet is not necessarily indicative of the financial position of the Company which would have actually resulted had the proposed transactions been effected on the dates indicated.

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company and CB Gold included or incorporated by reference in the Information Circular of First Source and CB Gold.  The pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been compiled using the significant accounting policies as set out in the audited December 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements of CB Gold.

Note 2             Pro forma Consolidated Balance Sheet Transactions and Adjustments

 
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the proposed amalgamation of First Source and CB Gold as if the transactions described below occurred at the balance sheet date.

 
a)  
Amalgamation of First Source and CB Gold
 
First Source and CB Gold shall amalgamate to form a new entity, Amalco.   Each issued and outstanding common share of First Source shall be exchanged for the common shares of Amalco in a ratio of 0.254512.   Each issued and outstanding common share of CB Gold shall be exchanged for one common shares of Amalco. Subsequent to the completion of the amalgamation, the shareholders of CB Gold will control of the Amalco and, as a result, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse-takeover (‘RTO”).  Accordingly, the transaction is considered to be a capital recapitalization, whereby CB Gold, legally the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, has acquired the assets and liabilities of First Source and is considered to be the continuing entity for accounting purposes.  The fair value of net assets and liabilities of First Source are as follows:

 Private Placement

 
 
CB Gold will complete a private placement of 46,666,666 units at $0.75 per unit, for gross proceeds of $35,000,000.   Each unit consists of one common share of CB Gold and one-half of share purchase warrant.  The holder of a whole share purchase warrant is entitled to purchase one additional common share of CB Gold at $1.10 per share at any time within the two years following the satisfaction of the Escrow Release.  In connection with the private placement, the Company has agreed to pay a 6% commission in cash as corporate finance and finders’ fees.   CB Gold has estimated that it would also incur approximately $120,000 in legal and professional fees and other reimbursement expenses.  Upon completion of the amalgamation, 46,666,666 units will be exchanged to 46,666,666 units of Amalco with the same terms and conditions.  As additional consideration for the services of the agents, CB Gold agrees to grant to the agents compensation options entitling the agents to subscribe for that number of units of CB Gold as is equal to 6.0% of the total number of offered securities sold.  Subject to regulatory approval, each compensation option will be exercisable to acquire one offered unit of Amalco commencing on the Listing and continuing for a period of 18 months thereafter at an exercise price equal to the Issue Price, being $0.75 each.

1.
Nature of Operations

CB Gold Inc. (“CB Gold” or the “Company”), a British Columbia company, was incorporated in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (B.C.) on May 11, 2009 and incorporated two British Virgin Island subsidiaries, Cedar Business Investments Ltd. and Leyhat Corporation on July 20, 2009. Leyhat Corporation formed a Colombian branch, Leyhat Colombia Sucursal also on July 24, 2009. The Company is in the exploration stage and is in the process of exploring its resource properties and has not determined whether these properties contain reserves, which are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete their exploration and development, as well as the issuance of various permits to undertake the exploration activities in Colombia.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada on a going concern basis, which presumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred a loss of $884,704 and has an accumulated deficit of $2,055,662 since incorporation. At March 31, 2010, the Company has working capital of $4,365,773. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon continuing to raise additional financing, achieving its development plans and obtaining and maintaining profitability.  There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary for fund the operations for the next twelve months

If the going concern assumptions were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported net loss and the balance sheet classifications used.

Financial Risk Management

Overview
 
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

 
·
Credit risk
 
·
Liquidity risk
 
·
Market risk

The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes.

Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company’s exposure to credit risk is on its cash and short term investments.    
 
The carrying amount of cash and short term investments represents the maximum credit exposure.

Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation.
 
The Company currently has adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities which are comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Financial Risk Management (continued)

 
Market risk
 
Market risk consists of foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

Interest rate risk
 
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.  The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalent, and money market funds.

Foreign exchange risk
 
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rate.  As at March 31, 2010 the Company has an exposure to the US dollars and Colombian pesos that are subject to fluctuations as a result of exchange rate variations to the extent that transactions are made in this currency. The Company considers this risk to be insignificant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.  Included in cash is $212,454 (December 31, 2009 - $37,434) and accounts payable and accrued liabilities $438,759 (December 31, 2009 - $272,844) which are denominated in Colombian pesos.  The Company also has cash of $120,810 (December 31, 2009 - $33,850) denominated in US dollars.


11.
Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the optimization of its capital structure. The capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity comprising of share capital, share purchase warrants, contributed surplus and deficit. The basis for the Company’s capital structure is dependent on the Company’s expected business growth and changes in business environment. In order to facilitate the management of capital and the exploration of its mineral properties, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets which are updated as necessary and are reviewed and periodically approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.  To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new equity if available on favorable terms, option its mineral properties for cash and/or expenditure commitments from optionees, enter into joint venture arrangements, or dispose of mineral properties.

The Company’s investment policy is to hold excess cash in interest bearing bank accounts and money market funds.  The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

There have been no changes made to the capital management policy during the period.

Nature of Operations
 
CB Gold Inc. (the “Company”), a British Columbia company, was incorporated in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (B.C.) on May 11, 2009 and incorporated two British Virgin Island subsidiaries, Cedar  Business Investments Ltd. and Leyhat Corporation on July 20, 2009. Leyhat Corporation formed a Colombian branch, Leyhat Colombia Sucursal also on July 24, 2009. The Company is in the exploration stage and is in the process of exploring its resource properties and has not determined whether these properties contain reserves, which are economically recoverable.  The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete their exploration and development, as well as the issuance of various permits to undertake the exploration activities in Colombia.
 
 
8.
Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada on a going concern basis, which presumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. For the period from May 11, 2009 to December 31, 2009, the Company incurred a loss of $1,170,958.  As at December 31, 2009, the Company has working capital of $1,563,659. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon continuing to raise additional financing, achieving its exploration plans and obtaining and maintaining profitability.  There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary for fund the operations for the next twelve months.

If the going concern assumptions were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported net loss and the balance sheet classifications used.


9.
Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are stated in Canadian dollars.

As a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of consolidation financial statements necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

(b)
Principles of consolidation. CB Gold has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Cedar Business Investments Ltd. and Leyhat Corporation, which were both incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on July 20, 2009. Leyhat Corporation has a branch office in Colombia, Leyhat Colombia Sucursal. Leyhat Colombia Sucursal was established on July 24, 2009. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.   All inter-company transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

(c)
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period Ended December 31, 2009



3.
Accounting Policies (continued)

(d)
Property and equipment. The Company records equipment at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is charged to operations on a declining-balance basis at the following annual rates:

Office furniture and fixtures
 
10%
Computer and communications equipment
 
33%
Field equipment
 
20%

(e)
Value Added Tax (“VAT”) recoverable. VAT is recorded in the accounts when there is reasonable assurance that the Company’s subsidiary has complied with, and will continue to comply with, all conditions needed to obtain a refund.

(f)
Impairment of long-lived assets. Canadian generally accepted accounting principles require that long-lived assets to be held and used by the Company be reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset that an entity expects to hold and use may not be recoverable, future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its disposition must be estimated. If the undiscounted value of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, impairment is recognized.  No impairment was recognized during the period ended December 31, 2009.

(g)
Environmental costs. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts.

(h)
Basic and diluted loss per share. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share of common shares is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. Diluted amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, as there are no options or warrants outstanding at December 31, 2009, potentially dilutive common shares are nil, and there is no difference in the weighted average common shares outstanding for the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share.

(i)
Income taxes. The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes only if it is more likely than not that they can be realized.

3.
Accounting Policies (continued)

(j)
Stock-based compensation. The Company expects to have a stock-based compensation plan, whereby stock options are granted in accordance with the policies of regulatory authorities. The fair value of all share purchase options granted is expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus or warrant capital. Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus or warrant capital, is recorded as an increase to share capital.

The Company will use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of share purchase options at the date of grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s share purchase options.

(k)
Asset retirement obligations. The fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets is recorded in the period the asset is put into use, with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset. The obligations recognized are statutory, contractual or legal obligations. The liability is accreted over time for changes in the fair value of the liability through charges to accretion, which is included in the amortization and accretion expense. The costs capitalized to the related assets are amortized in a manner consistent with the amortization of the related asset. At December 31, 2009, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the resource properties’ site restoration costs, if any.

(l)
Foreign currency translation. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. All monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates.  Income and expenses are translated at rates approximating those on the transaction dates.

 
The Company's foreign subsidiaries and branch are integrated operations and are translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method whereby the Company translates the monetary assets and liabilities of its subsidiary into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the respective transaction dates. Revenue and expenses are translated into Canadian dollars at the average exchange rate for the applicable period except for amortization, which is translated at the historical exchange rates. Translation gains or losses are included in the determination of net income.

(m)
Mineral properties. The Company defers the cost of acquiring and maintaining its interest in mineral properties until such time as the properties are placed into production, abandoned, sold or considered to be impaired in value. Exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as mineral reserves can be established, after which such costs will be accounted for in the same manner as acquisition costs. Costs of producing properties will be amortized on a unit of production basis and costs of abandoned properties are written-off. Proceeds received on the sale of interests in mineral properties are credited to the carrying value of the mineral properties, with any excess included in operations. Write-downs due to impairment in value are charged to operations.

 
The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined the amount of reserves available. Management reviews the carrying value of mineral properties on a periodic basis and will recognize impairment in value based upon the current exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company, the assessment of future probability of profitable revenues from the property or from the sale of the property. Amounts shown for properties represent costs incurred net of write-downs and recoveries, and are not intended to represent present or future values.

Accounting Policies (continued)

(n)
Financial Instruments. The Company classifies all financial instruments as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, held-for-trading or loans and receivables. Financial assets held to maturity, loans and receivables and financial liabilities, other than those held for trading, are measured at amortized cost. Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Instruments classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Deficit.

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents
Held for trading
Short-term investments
Held for trading
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Other liabilities

Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures, was amended in June 2009. It establishes revised standards for the disclosure of financial instruments. The new standard establishes a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for disclosing fair value of financial instruments based on inputs used to value the Company’s investments. The hierarchy of inputs and description of inputs is described as follows:

Level 1 – fair values are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); or

Level 3 – fair values are based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data, which are unobservable inputs.

Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level. During the period ended December 31, 2009, there were no significant transfers between level 1 and 2.

Financial instruments classified as level 1 – quoted prices in active markets include cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 
(i)   Business combination, non-controlling interest, and consolidation

In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Sections 1582, Business Combinations Consolidated Financial Statements Section 1601 and Non-controlling interest Section 1602. Section 1602 which replaces CICA Handbook Section 1581 and Section 1600. Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for business combinations that is equivalent to the business combination accounting standard under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Section 1582 is applicable for the Company’s business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2011. Early adoption of this Section is permitted. Section 1601 and Section 1602 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1601 is applicable for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year beginning November 1, 2011. Early adoption of this Section is permitted. If the Company chooses to early adopt any one of these Sections, the other two sections must also be adopted at the same time.

(ii)  International Financial Reporting Standards

In February 2008, the CICA Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed the changeover to IFRS from Canadian GAAP will be required for publicly accountable enterprises effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The eventual changeover to IFRS represents changes due to new accounting standards. The transition from current Canadian GAAP to IFRS is a significant undertaking that may materially affect the Company's reported financial position and results of operations.

The Company is assessing the potential impacts of this changeover and is developing its IFRS changeover plan, which will include project structure and governance, resourcing and training, analysis of key GAAP differences and a phased plan to assess accounting policies under IFRS as well as potential IFRS 1 exemptions.

Mineral Properties

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequency ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties.

Norte de Santander Project

Pursuant to a Letter of Intent on May 25, 2009, the Company paid a US$100,000 ($112,027) non-refundable commitment fee to Camilo Rodriguez Triana and Micoldex Ltda.  On September 2, 2009 the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale agreement (“PSA”) with Camilo Rodriguez Triana and Micoldex Ltda., unrelated parties, whereby the Company has agreed to acquire 44 concessions in the Norte De Santander District of Colombia.  As consideration, the Company will pay US$542,000 and issue 575,000 common shares of the Company over 4 tranches as follows:

Income Taxes (continued)

Non-capital loss carry forward

Less: Valuation allowance
   
(354,000)
   
$
-


Management considers it more likely-than-not that the amounts will not be utilized and accordingly a full valuation allowance has been applied against the future tax assets.

The Company’s future tax assets include approximately $44,000 related to deductions for share issue costs in excess amounts deducted for financial reporting purposes. If and when the valuation allowance related to these amounts is reversed, the Company will recognize the benefit as an adjustment to share capital as opposed to income tax expense in the Statement of Operation.

The Company has non-capital and other losses carried forward of approximately $1,163,000 which may be available to offset future income for income tax purposes in Canada and Colombia. The loss carry forwards expire in various amounts between 2017 and 2029.

The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgment about the recoverability of the future tax assets, the impact of the change on valuation allowance is reflected in current income. Due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has not reflected any benefit recorded from these losses in these financial statements.

Financial Risk Management

Overview
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

 
·
Credit risk
 
·
Liquidity risk
 
·
Market risk

The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company’s exposure to credit risk is on its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments.    
 
The carrying amount of cash and short term investments represents the maximum credit exposure.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation.
 
The Company currently has adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities which are comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Market risk
Market risk consists of foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.  The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents, and money market funds.

Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rate. As at December 31, 2009, the Company has an exposure to the US dollars and Colombian pesos that are subject to fluctuations as a result of exchange rate variations to the extent that transactions are made in this currency. The Company considers this risk to be insignificant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.  Included in cash is $37,434 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities $272,844 which are denominated in Colombian pesos.  The Company also has cash of $33,850 denominated in US dollars.

Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the optimization of its capital structure. The capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity comprising of share capital, share purchase warrants, contributed surplus and deficit. The basis for the Company’s capital structure is dependent on the Company’s expected business growth and changes in business environment.

In order to facilitate the management of capital and the exploration of its mineral properties, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets which are updated as necessary and are reviewed and periodically approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.  To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new equity if available on favorable terms, option its mineral properties for cash and/or expenditure commitments from optionees, enter into joint venture arrangements, or dispose of mineral properties.

The Company’s investment policy is to hold excess cash in interest bearing bank accounts and money market funds.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Overview of Performance

Drill Program

By the end of June, 2010 the Company expects to start a first drilling campaign for a total of 10,000 meters on the Real Minera mining property, part of the Company’s Vetas Gold Project.  Application for the drilling permits has been filed and the Company expects to receive a positive response in the coming weeks. The Company is currently reviewing drilling contracts and proposals received from prominent international drilling companies specializing in small, man portable drilling rigs, and with experience in the Vetas – California area.

In May, 2010 the Company also commenced the first geophysics survey program on La Vereda mining property, part of the Company’s Vetas Gold Project. This first program is expected to complete in early July, 2010 at which time the geophysics team will move across to the Vetas mines area and commence a survey there. Combined with the anticipated drilling results we expect to generate further detailed drilling targets, and further confirming the surface and underground sampling work.


Exploration

Exploration work continues in the greenfield Norte de Santander properties, with geochemical sampling and geological mapping, following up historical results and the recent satellite imagery work conducted by CB Gold.

The Company has engaged an experienced mining engineer to review the potential for a small scale mining and processing operation in Vetas. Initial results are positive and further work is being prepared, including mine planning, productivity, training, metallurgical testing and underground mining method.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and for the period from May 11 to December 31, 2009 the Company reported a net loss of $884,704 and $1,170,958, respectively. The loss was primarily attributable to consulting fees, exploration costs, management and administrative fees and professional fees.

Amortization was higher overall in 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, but was generally the same on a monthly basis.

 Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2010

Exploration costs were higher in the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the period from May 11 to December 31, 2009.  Going forwards, the Company is projecting higher exploration costs, again, as the drill programs ramp up.

Foreign exchange loss of $6,802 is higher in the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Foreign exchange loss will fluctuate as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rate of the US dollar and the Colombian peso in relation to the Canadian dollar.  The company considers this risk to not be material (but does review the situation from time to time) and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk at this time.

Management fees are higher and professional fees are higher on a monthly basis in the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the 7.5 months ended December 31, 2009.  At this early stage of the Company’s growth and development, more consultants and legal time is required to get its exploration projects underway and the company has been engaged in significant legal work surrounding the acquisition of properties and the Amalgamation with First Source Resources.

Office and general expenses were higher in the first start up period of the company, and have dropped as systems and procedures become developed.  Office expenses will increase in the latter half of fiscal 2010, as the Company establishes its corporate head office in Vancouver.

Interest income is directly related to the Company’s bank balances.  The company is in the process of raising the funds required to proceed with its acquisitions and to perform the drilling and geophysic programs.  Interest income will increase when the funds are raised and will decrease as the funds are spent.

Throughout fiscal 2010 exploration expenses, management fees, office and general expenses and legal fees will continue to increase as a result of hiring new staff, including a Chief Financial Officer, increased travel to Colombia to coordinate the increased levels of exploration and drilling activities on-site.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s mineral exploration and development activities have provided the Company with no sources of income and an accumulated deficit.  However, given the nature of its business, the results of operations as reflected in the net losses and losses per share do not provide meaningful interpretation of the Company’s valuation.

At March 31, 2010 the Company had cash and short term investments of $5,076,323, compared to $2,058,420 at December 31, 2009.

The Company intends to finance its exploration and development activities through future financing activities.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010 the Company had cash outflow from operating activities of $747,169 (7.5 month period ending December 31, 2009 - $916,568).  The operating activities are a result of the Company`s exploration and drilling activities on-site, and the operations of the corporate office.

Financing activities
Cash flow from financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $4,335,000 (7.5 month period ending December 31, 2009 - $3,480,292).

On June 2, 2009, the Company’s founders purchased 35,005,200 Class A Common shares for total proceeds of $100,000.

On June 5, 2009, the Company completed a private placement of 11,100,000 Class B common shares at $0.05 per share for total proceeds of $555,000.  In connection with this financing, the Company paid $16,320 in cash and issued 560,000 common shares of the Company as agent’s fees.  The agent shares were valued at $0.05 per share.

In connection with the PSA agreement for the Norte de Santander Project as disclosed in note 6 above, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued 300,000 common shares with a fair value of $0.50 per share (December 31, 2009 – 275,000 common shares with $0.30 per share) to the vendor of the property.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued 10,000 common shares with a total fair value of $5,000 (December 31, 2009 – 10,000 common shares with a total fair value of $3,000) for services rendered.  The amount was recorded as professional fees on the statement of operations.

The Company completed a private placement of 10,100,000 Class B common shares for $0.50 per share, for total proceeds of $5,050,000.  As at March 31, 2010, 8,380,000 shares were issued for $4,190,000, 290,000 shares which were issued in April 2010 for $145,000 which was received in March 2010, 730,000 shares were issued for $365,000 subscription receipts which were received in April 2010, and 700,000 shares were issued and their related proceeds of $350,000 were received in April 2010.

In connection with this private placement, the Company agreed to issue 601,200 Class B common shares as finders’ fees.  The shares issued as finders’ fees have a fair value of $0.50 per share, and were issued in April 2010.

Investing activities
Cash inflows from the investing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $830,667 (7.5 months ended December 31, 2009 - outflow of $2,338,663).

As at May 17, 2010 the Company had 97,000,000 authorized common shares, 35,005,200 Class A shares issued and outstanding and 31,551,732 Class B shares issued and outstanding.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Newly Adopted Accounting Policies

In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” which replaced CICA Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. This new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company adopted the new standard as of July 1, 2009 and it did not have any impact on its financial statements.

The CICA amended Section 3862, "Financial Instruments - Disclosures," in 2009 to include additional disclosure requirements about fair value measurements of financial instruments and to enhance liquidity risk disclosure requirements. These amendments are effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, which replaces former guidance on business combinations. Section 1582 establishes principles and requirements of the acquisition method for business combinations and related disclosures. In addition, the CICA issued Sections 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and 1602, “Non-Controlling Interests”, which replaces the existing guidance. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements, while section 1602 provides guidance on accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. These new statements apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with earlier application permitted.

In January 2009, the CICA issued ECI-173, "Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." This EIC provides guidance on how to take into account credit risk of an entity and counterparty when determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments. The Company adopted the new standard as of July 1, 2009 and it did not have any impact on its financial statements.

In March 2009, the CICA issued EIC-174 "Mining Exploration Costs." This EIC provides guidance on the accounting for and the impairment review of capitalized exploration costs. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s presentation of its financial position or results of operations as at March 31, 2010.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

In 2006 the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publiclylisted companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadian GAAP. The changeover date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

The Company will adopt IFRS effective January 1, 2011 with a transition date of January 1, 2010. The Company has commenced the development of an IFRS implementation plan to prepare for this transition and is the process of determining the key areas where changes to accounting policies may be required.


As part of the transition process, the Company has provided or will provide IFRS specific training to senior financial reporting personnel and directors.


Risks and Uncertainties

Any of the risks and uncertainties described in the above-noted documents could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s business and financial condition and accordingly, should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company’s business.
 

 
IV OBJECTIVES FOR FISCAL 2010
 
The Company is working diligently to complete the previously announced Amalgamation with First Source Resources and commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition senior executives are working with GMP Securities of Toronto to complete the previously announced $35m Subscription Receipts Offering. An engagement letter has been executed and the Company is preparing to commence marketing of the Offering.

At Vetas we are aggressively pursuing the due diligence and acquisition of the remaining properties that we have under option, as well as working with the mining authorities to consolidate the various titles and permits relating to these properties. We have built strong and positive relationships with the various departments, offices and corporations of the regional and federal government and continue to work on a daily basis with these groups. There is strong support for the Company’s activities from the mining authorities as well as the political leadership of the Santander Province.

During the remainder of 2010 we will continue our exploration work – sampling, mapping, geophysical surveys and drilling as well as consolidation of the data generated and begin preparation for the modelling and technical work required to assess any potential resources at the Project.

With regards to the Norte de Santander Gold Project for the period of May to December 2010, CB Gold expects to complete the transfer of all remaining applications and concessions under the name of Leyhat Colombia Sucursal.  The Company has already discarded 4 areas which are deemed of insufficient potential, reducing the future costs of land fees and insurance. CB Gold will continue with the exploration program started in 2009 and with the assessment of the Geological potential of the areas.

In line with the core strategy of consistent growth and development, CB Gold will also evaluate any opportunity in line with our strategy of acquiring and developing precious metal projects in Colombia and that can potentially add value to the Company and its shareholders.

Given the success to date and the anticipated expansion in exploration activities, as well as the review of a small scale producing operation at Vetas, we expect to expand the CB Gold team to include more technical and financial staff.

by Scott Wilson in relation to the Vetas Gold Project in May, 2010 (the “Vetas Technical Report”).


Overview of Performance

Drill Program

By the end of June, 2010 the Company expects to start a first drilling campaign for a total of 10,000 meters on the Real Minera mining property, part of the Company’s Vetas Gold Project.  Application for the drilling permits has been filed and the Company expects to receive a positive response in the coming weeks. The Company is currently reviewing drilling contracts and proposals received from prominent international drilling companies specializing in small, man portable drilling rigs, and with experience in the Vetas – California area.

In May, 2010 the Company also commenced the first geophysics survey program on La Vereda mining property, part of the Company’s Vetas Gold Project. This first program is expected to complete in early July, 2010 at which time the geophysics team will move across to the Vetas mines area and commence a survey there. Combined with the anticipated drilling results we expect to generate further detailed drilling targets, and further confirming the surface and underground sampling work.


Exploration

Exploration work continues in the greenfield Norte de Santander properties, with geochemical sampling and geological mapping, following up historical results and the recent satellite imagery work conducted by CB Gold.

The Company has engaged an experienced mining engineer to review the potential for a small scale mining and processing operation in Vetas. Initial results are positive and further work is being prepared, including mine planning, productivity, training, metallurgical testing and underground mining method.

(0.03)


For the period from May 11 to December 31, 2009 the Company reported a net loss of $1,170,958. The loss was primarily attributable to consulting fees, exploration costs, management fees, professional fees and travel.

Exploration costs were $282,466.  Going forwards, the Company is projecting higher exploration costs, again, as the drill programs ramp up.

Foreign exchange loss is $17,526.  Foreign exchange loss will fluctuate as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rate of the US dollar and the Colombian peso in relation to the Canadian dollar.  The company considers this risk to not be material (but does review the situation from time to time) and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk at this time.

Management fees are higher and legal fees are At this early stage of the Company’s growth and development, more consultants and legal time is required to get its exploration projects underway and the company has been engaged in significant legal work surrounding the acquisition of properties and the Amalgamation with First Source Resources.

Office and general expenses were high in the first start up period of the company as systems and procedures become developed.  Office expenses will increase in the latter half of fiscal 2010, as the Company establishes its corporate head office in Vancouver.

F-21
Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the Period Ended December 31, 2009

Interest income is directly related to the Company’s bank balances.  The company is in the process of raising the funds required to proceed with its acquisitions and to perform the drilling and geophysic programs.  Interest income will increase when the funds are raised and will decrease as the funds are spent.

Throughout fiscal 2010 exploration expenses, management fees, office and general expenses and legal fees will continue to increase as a result of hiring new staff, including a Chief Financial Officer, increased travel to Colombia to coordinate the increased levels of exploration and drilling activities on-site.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s mineral exploration and development activities have provided the Company with no sources of income and an accumulated deficit.  However, given the nature of its business, the results of operations as reflected in the net losses and losses per share do not provide meaningful interpretation of the Company’s valuation.

At December 31, 2009 the Company had cash and short term investments of $2,058,420.

The Company intends to finance its exploration and development activities through future financing activities.

Operating activities
During the period ended December 31, 2009 the Company had cash outflow from operating activities of $916,568.

Financing activities
Cash flow from financing activities during the period ending December 31, 2009 was $3,408,292.

On June 2, 2009, the two founders of the Company’s founders purchased 35,005,200 Class A Common shares for total proceeds of $100,000.

On June 5, 2009, the Company completed a private placement of 11,100,000 Class B common shares at $0.05 per share for total proceeds of $555,000.  In connection with this financing, the Company paid $16,320 in cash and issued 560,000 common shares of the Company as agent’s fees.  The agent shares were valued at $0.05 per share.

On August 24, 2009, the Company completed a private placement of 9,576,433 Class B common shares for $0.30 per share, for total proceeds of $2,872,930.  In connection with this private placement, the Company paid $31,318 in cash and issued an aggregate of 410,300 common shares of the Company as agent’s fees.  The agent shares were valued at $0.30 per share.

Investing activities
Cash used for investing activities during the period ended December 31, 2009 was $2,338,664. This was largely due to the purchase of short-term investments.  Also, we incurred mineral properties expenditures in the period ended December 31, 2009 of $429,620.

The Company continues to depend upon equity capital to finance its activities.  There are no assurances that capital requirements will be met by this means of financing as inherent risks are attached therein including commodity prices, financial market conditions, and general economic factors.

The options have the vesting terms of 1/3 on the grant date, 1/3 on the first anniversary and 1/3 on the second anniversary. The options are for $0.50 per share for up to five years.  Of the 3,545,000 stock purchase options granted, 1,848,333 have vested as of the date of this MD&A, May 17, 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Newly Adopted Accounting Policies

In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” which replaced CICA Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. This new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company adopted the new standard as of July 1, 2009 and it did not have any impact on its financial statements.

The CICA amended Section 3862, "Financial Instruments - Disclosures," in 2009 to include additional disclosure requirements about fair value measurements of financial instruments and to enhance liquidity risk disclosure requirements. These amendments are effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, which replaces former guidance on business combinations. Section 1582 establishes principles and requirements of the acquisition method for business combinations and related disclosures. In addition, the CICA issued Sections 1601, “Consolidated Financial

9  
CB Gold Inc.
   

 
 

 
F-24
Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the Period Ended December 31, 2009

Statements” and 1602, “Non-Controlling Interests”, which replaces the existing guidance. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements, while section 1602 provides guidance on accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. These new statements apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with earlier application permitted.

In January 2009, the CICA issued ECI-173, "Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." This EIC provides guidance on how to take into account credit risk of an entity and counterparty when determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments. The Company adopted the new standard as of July 1, 2009 and it did not have any impact on its financial statements.

In March 2009, the CICA issued EIC-174 "Mining Exploration Costs." This EIC provides guidance on the accounting for and the impairment review of capitalized exploration costs. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s presentation of its financial position or results of operations as at March 31, 2010.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

In February 2008, the CICA Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed the changeover to IFRS from Canadian GAAP will be required for publicly accountable enterprises effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The eventual changeover to IFRS represents changes due to new accounting standards.

The transition from current Canadian GAAP to IFRS is a significant undertaking that may
materially affect the Company's reported financial position and results of operations.
The Company is assessing the potential impacts of this changeover and is developing its IFRS changeover plan, which will include project structure and governance, resourcing and training, analysis of key GAAP differences and a phased plan to assess accounting policies under IFRS as well as potential IFRS 1 exemptions.

Risks and Uncertainties

An investment in the Company's common shares is highly speculative and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in CB Gold and First Source Resources joint management information circular dated June 28th, 2010, and posted on CB Gold’s website at www.cbgoldinc.com and SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
 
Any of the risks and uncertainties described in the above-noted documents could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s business and financial condition and accordingly, should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company’s business.

The Company currently holds a 100% interest in the Lac des Pics Property (the “Property”) in the Province of Quebec, under an agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby First Source agreed, over three years, to make cash payments to the vendor of the Property, ASPM Inc. (“ASPM”), of $75,000, grant ASPM 750,000 common shares in First Source and make $750,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property.  First Source also granted ASPM a 2% net smelter royalty to the vendor of the Property, 1.5% of which can be purchased back for $2,000,000 within 120 days of the completion of a bankable feasibility study.  As of the date hereof, First Source has made cash payments of $75,000 to ASPM, issued 750,000 common shares to ASPM and made approximately $787,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property.  Under the Agreement, First Source can terminate its obligations at any time and not be liable for unpaid portions of the purchase price, common shares and exploration expenditures, but the Property would then revert back to ASPM.
 
A technical report prepared by Jean-Pierre Cloutier, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), was completed in relation to the Property on June 7, 2007, and updated on September 30, 2007 to include work completed by the Company in June, July, August and September of 2007 (the “Technical Report”).  The Technical Report can be found at www.sedar.com.
 
The Technical Report recommended that the Company conduct two successive phases of work: Phase I comprising exploration expenditures of approximately $200,000 and Phase II, if required, representing exploration expenditures of approximately $300,000, for a cumulative total budget of approximately $500,000.  Each phase would culminate in a decision point.  Advancing to Phase II is contingent on positive results in Phase I.
 
Under the Technical Report, the proposed Phase I work program would consist of geological mapping, various airborne and ground geophysical surveys and soil geochemistry analysis.  The proposed Phase II work program would consist of additional and expanded stripping and mechanical trenching to expand on known anomalies and to investigate new possible anomalies, and select diamond drilling targets based on results from Phase I.
 
From mid-June of 2007 to the date of this MD&A, First Source has completed the Phase I work program and commenced Phase II, having spent approximately $787,000 to date exploring the Property.  The work conducted was largely based on recommendations from the Property’s Technical Report, and on recommendations from various consultants (Risk Reduction Resources Inc. and Jean-Pierre Cloutier), the Company’s project managers and the Company’s board of directors.  To date, the Company has accomplished the following exploration activities on the Property:
 
 
·
The construction of an access road and trenching for a combined total of 1,905 m;
 
 
·
Expansion of previously known mineralization points, including further excavation of Vein No. 1 over a strike length of 100 m, across a width of 2-4 m and to a depth of 2 m, limited expansion of other veins, and the excavation of newly discovered Vein E over a
 

 
 

 
G-5

strike length of about 100 m and to widths in excess of 2 m (see diagrams A and B, below);
 
 
·
Fifty-five (55) rock samples of mineralized material from Vein No. 1 and Vein E were taken for a total collection of 50 grab and 5 channel samples, and were assayed for gold, base metals and other elements.  From vein No. 1, 11 of 23 grab samples analyzed at greater than 3 g/t Au, with the best two samples reading 12.5 g/t and 35.4 g/t respectively.  From Vein E, which appears to be copper bearing only, 9 of 27 samples ranged from 1.12% to 5.86% Cu;
 
 
·
An airborne electro-magnetic survey was flown over the entire Property in July of 2008, and results from that survey were used to initiate a ground geophysical survey, which was partially completed in the fall of 2008; The airborne survey discovered, and the ground geophysical survey partially verified and further defined, five high-conductivity zones;
 
 
·
Systematic line cutting has been completed over electro magnetic anomalies identified by the airborne survey (high conductivity zones), and these lines have been used to gather more precise ground geophysical data and additional soil and rock samples.  A summary of the ground survey points is provided in Diagram D, below;
 
 
·
Ground geophysical data was gathered and analyzed from various points over three of the five high conductivity zones, showing the rough depth and width of high conductivity anomalies at various points.  From this data that Company has confirmed that the anomalies are of significant breadth and depth, at measured points.  More work needs to be done to further define the size of these anomalies (see diagram D, below), however, data gathered to date has been used to identify prospective drill targets for the 2009 exploration season (see diagram E, below);
 
 
·
A drill program was conducted during July and August of 2009, and five holes were drilled over 1191 meters.

Diagram E: Planned and Actual Drill Locations
 

 
 
The 2008 exploration season was completed on October 29, 2008, with ground geophysics and soil sampling having been completed over three of the anomalies identified by the airborne survey (zones 2, 3 and 4, as shown in diagrams C and D, above).  With airborne anomalies having been confirmed and further defined to significant size by ground geophysics (see diagram E above), the Company determined that it would proceed with further exploration (Phase II) during the 2009 exploration season.
 
Based on results from the airborne survey conducted early in the exploration season, ASPM Inc. staked 58 additional claims surrounding the original Lac des Pics claims.  These additional units were claimed in trust for First Source, and were transferred to First Source in March of 2009.  These additional claim units constitute part of the Property, and are governed under the current agreement between ASPM and First Source.  Thus, any exploration expenditures on these additional claim units count toward First Source’s obligations under the Agreement, and ASPM will receive a 2% NSR on these new claims (of which First Source retains an option to buy back 1.5%, as per the Agreement) if First Source completes on its exploration, payment, and share commitments.
 
During the 2009 season, the Company completed further exploration work at Lac des Pics, including further geophysical mapping and some drilling. The drill program occurred during July and August of 2009, and five holes were drilled over 1191 meters. The goal of the drill program was to investigate three of the five geophysical anomalies detected using airborne and ground
 

 
 

 
G-10

 
geophysical survey methods in 2008.  From Diagram E, above, two holes were drilled in zone 2 (D09-02 and D09-03, 2 holes were drilled in zone 3 (D09-04 and D09-05), and one hole was drilled in zone 4 (D09-06).
 
From this drill program, the Company received results and a full corresponding geological report in September of 2009.
 
The report, authored by the supervising geologist for the program, Jean-Pierre Cloutier, indicated that core sample analysis results suggest that geophysical anomalies in zones two, three and four appear to have been caused by graphite, with some but very little pyrite, associated with siltstone and shale, and by magnetite mineralization associated with magnetite bearing sandstone. Fifty-seven core samples were analyzed for a suite of 51 elements and no anomalous values were reported. The sampling, transportation and analysis of samples were verified by Jean-Pierre Cloutier as supervising geologist.
 
Based on these results, the report concluded that the economic exploration potential of the Lac des Pics Property is limited, with two qualifications. First, the report noted that the exploration potential of untested geophysical conductors (anomalous zones one and five, which have not yet been drilled) remains unknown. Second, the report recommended that all previous work results (from First Source and previous groups/companies) should be compiled and integrated before any future decisions are made.
 
At this point, the Company plans to compile, integrate and analyze all the information it has, and can reasonably obtain, regarding the Lac des Pics Property. This done, the Board will decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to conduct further drilling (either to investigate the two remaining, undrilled geophysical anomalies or to further test one or more of the other three), or to explore other options.
 
First Source has made a full copy of the report available on the First Source Resources web-site (www.firstsourceresources.com).

D. Results of Operations 
 
The level of operations has been determined by the availability of capital resources.  To date, private placements and the Company’s initial public offering have provided the sole source of funding.
 
Quarter ended January 31, 2010 Compared to Quarter Ended January 31, 2009
 
For the quarter ended January 31, 2010, the Company incurred a loss before income taxes of $40,502 compared to a loss before income taxes of $42,368 for the quarter ended January 31, 2009.  The most significant expenses creating this loss are:
 
 
·
Professional fees, including audit and legal fees, of $14,905 (2009 - $13,713), which are slightly higher in 2010 due to audit fees being slightly higher than in the corresponding period in 2009.
 
 
·
Salaries and benefits of $16,838 (2009 - $14,343) in respect of the Company’s President and administrative assistant.
 

 
 

 
G-11
 
 
 
·
Other general and administrative expenses of $4,395 (2009 - $7,465).
 
 
·
Stock-based compensation expenses of $nil (2009 - $5,155), which have decreased due to all of the Company’s stock option grants becoming fully vested prior to this quarter.
 
 
·
Filing fees and shareholder services of $4,076 (2009 - $2,616). These expenses include costs of the various filings required by the TSX Venture Exchange for being listed on the Exchange.

F. Transactions with Related Parties 
 
During the year ended July 31, 2007, Wayne Lockhart, the Company’s Chief Geologist and a director of the Company, became a related party, through ASPM Inc. and his company Lockhart Exploration, to the following agreements:
 
 
·
Letter of Intent between the Company, ASPM Inc., and Lockhart Exploration dated February 27, 2007;
 
 
·
Formal Agreement between the Company and ASPM Inc., dated March 8, 2007; and
 
 
·
Exploration Services Agreement between the Company and Lockhart Exploration, dated June 20, 2007.
 
As Wayne Lockhart became a director and officer of the Company on March 10, 2007, he was not a director or officer of the Company when the first two agreements (the Letter of Intent and the Formal Agreement) were entered into.  These first two contracts set out the terms under which the Company obtained its interest in the Lac Des Pics Property and obligate the Company to use Mr. Lockhart’s exploration company, Lockhart Exploration, for exploration work conducted on the Property covered by the agreements (so long as Lockhart Exploration is able to complete such work at fair market rates within a reasonable timeframe).  The third agreement, the Exploration Services Agreement, details how Phase I of the exploration program is to be carried out by Lockhart Exploration on behalf of the Company.  Mr. Lockhart abstained from discussion and voting on the issue of whether the Company should resolve to enter into the Exploration Services Agreement.  Mr. Lockhart directly benefits from all three of the above agreements in that they allow him to influence which geologists, contractors and other services are used in connection with the exploration program.  Further, Mr. Lockhart may also be providing his services as a geologist, and may pay himself a fee in relationship to such services, as well as one or more
 

 
 

 
G-13

management fees, from Lockhart Exploration.  As at January 31, 2010, the Company had paid or owed to Lockhart Exploration $55,997 since the beginning of the project (2008 - $55,997) for management and consulting services.
 
Mr. Lockhart had previously disclosed to the Company that he had a 1/8th interest in ASPM Inc., but he has now informed the Company that he has no such interest.  The Company is currently seeking additional clarification on this matter from Mr. Lockhart.
 
There is currently a disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company in relation to invoicing for the 2008 exploration season.  Lockhart Exploration has invoiced the Company, in an invoice dated December 5, 2008 and received by the Company on January 5, 2009, for an amount that was $131,000 over the board-approved budget. Negotiations between Lockhart Exploration and the Company are ongoing, but it does not appear the two sides are, as yet, very close to working out a compromise.  As such, until the situation has been resolved, the Company does not plan on using Lockhart Exploration to manage ongoing exploration conducted by the Company at Lac des Pics.  It is anticipated that Risk Reduction Resources and/or Jean-Pierre Cloutier will supervise and manage exploration at Lac des Pics in the meantime.  If the disagreement with Lockhart Exploration can be resolved, the Company will revisit the issue of exploration management at Lac des Pics.
 
At the Company’s annual general meeting, held on January 28, 2010, Mr. Lockhart was not re-elected to the First Source Board of Directors and is thus no longer a director of the Company as of that date.
 
The Company shares office space and administrative services with another company, Terra Firma Resources Inc., of which the Company’s President, Peter Smith, is also a director.
 
The Company has engaged the services of Douglas Smith (no relation to Peter Smith), a director and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, for accounting services.  The Company has incurred $4,500 in the three months ended January 31, 2010 (2009 - $4,500) in respect of these services.  The Company has an accrued liability to Mr. Smith of $16,000 as at January 31, 2010 (July 31, 2009 - $10,500) in respect of those services.
 
The Company has engaged the services of Michael Raven, a director and the Company’s Corporate Secretary, for legal services.  The Company has incurred $6,000 in the three months ended January 31, 2010 (2009 - $ 6,000) in respect of these services.  The Company has an accrued liability to Mr. Raven of $22,015 as at January 31, 2010 (July 31, 2009- $ 14,140) in respect of those services.
 

 
 

 
G-14

G. Financial Conditions, Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
The Company is in the exploration stage and has no income from operations.
 
The Company has financed its operations through private placements and through its initial public offering.  In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 the Company raised $357,901 through its initial public offering, compared with $403,629 the Company raised through private placements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007.  The Company has not raised any funds during the quarter ended January 31, 2010.  Cash as of January 31, 2010 was $8,571compared to $99,476 as of the quarter ended January 31, 2009.
 
The Company’s mineral property exploration expenditures were $nil for the quarter ended January 31, 2010 compared to $80,153 for the quarter ended January 31, 2009.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended January 31, 2010 was $5,693 compared with cash provided by operating activities of $6,976 for the quarter ended January 31, 2009.
 
Note that generally, very little exploration work is done in the Gaspe region of Quebec during winter months due to uncertain weather conditions and heavy snow.
 
The Company had a working capital position of $34,334 at January 31, 2010 compared to working capital of $196,789 as at the quarter ended January 31, 2009.
 
On January 30, 2006, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 500,000 common shares of the Company at $0.02 per share. The private placement generated gross proceeds of $10,000.  The purpose of the private placement was to provide the Company with a minimal administrative budget, allowing it to seek out a viable property on which to conduct possible future exploration activities.  Between February 21, 2007 and February 23, 2007, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,487,617 common shares of the Company at $0.03 per share and 1,700,000 common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $129,628.50.  The purpose of the private placement was to provide the Company with a minimal administrative budget, fund the Company’s acquisition of the Property and to fund preliminary exploration of the Property.  Between March 14, 2007 and May 31, 2007, the Company completed another non-brokered private placement of 2,053,338 common shares of the Company at $0.15 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $308,000.  The purpose of the second private placement was to continue funding administrative and exploration costs incurred by the Company in relation to its ongoing exploration of the Property.  The Company does not have the required cash to satisfy its working capital and near term requirements.
 
The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) on February 28, 2008, pursuant to a prospectus filed on December 7, 2007, which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The IPO consisted of 1,700,000 common shares of the Company sold for $0.30 per share for gross proceeds of $510,000. As compensation for acting as agent for the IPO, the Company paid Union Securities Ltd. (the “Agent”) a corporate finance fee of $25,000, a 7% cash commission on gross proceeds raised from the IPO, and issued the Agent warrants entitling the Agent to acquire up to 7% of the number of common shares sold pursuant to the IPO, exercisable at $0.30 per share for up to 12 months after the closing date of the IPO. The Company also reimbursed the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Company in connection with the IPO. Prior to the IPO, private placements provided the sole source of funding for the Company.
 

 
 

 
G-15

In July of 2009, the Company completed another non-brokered private placement of 1,890,000 common shares of the Company at $0.10 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $189,000.  The purpose of this private placement was to continue funding administrative and exploration costs incurred by the Company in relation to its ongoing exploration of the Property, in particular, to fund the drilling program conducted in July and August of 2009.

Under the Formal Agreement entered with ASPM Inc. on March 8, 2007, through which the Company acquired its interest in the Property, the Company is committed, over three years to pay ASPM Inc. $75,000, issue ASPM Inc. 750,000 shares, and spend $750,000 exploring the Property.  The commitments break down, year to year, as follows:
 
Year 1 (by March 8, 2008)
$25,000 payment due
150,000 shares to be issued
$150,000 in exploration by June 7, 2008
Year 2 (by March 8, 2009)
$25,000 payment due
250,000 shares to be issued
$250,000 in exploration by June 7, 2009
Year 3 (by March 8, 2010)
$25,000 payment due
350,000 share to be issued
$350,000 in exploration by June 7, 2010

 
As of the date of this MD&A, First Source has made cash payments of $75,000 to ASPM and has issued 750,000 common shares to ASPM (year 1, year 2, and year 3 obligations all met in full).  As of July 31, 2009, First Source had made exploration expenditures of approximately $787,000 on the Property. Accordingly, the Company has met all of its payment and share issuance obligations, as well as its current exploration obligations under the Agreement to make at least $750,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property by the end of year 3 (by June 7, 2010).
 
The Company has limited financial resources and finances its operations by raising capital in the equity markets.  For the near future, the Company will need to rely on the sale of such securities and/or enter into joint venture agreements with third parties to provide working capital and to finance its mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.  Since the Company does not generate any revenue from operations, its long-term profitability will be directly related to the success of its mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.

H. Subsequent Events and Outlook 
 
The Company entered into a binding letter agreement dated February 26, 2010 (the “Agreement”) with CB Gold Inc., a privately-held British Columbia company (“CB Gold”), containing the principal terms of a proposed business combination between First Source and CB Gold (the “Transaction”).
 
The Transaction must still be consummated following a mutual due diligence period, and must also be approved by the Company’s shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).  Under the terms of the Transaction, First Source’s outstanding common shares will be consolidated on a 3.5 to 1 basis and, subject to any adjustments, shareholders of CB Gold will receive 1.0476 common shares of the Company (post-consolidation) for each one CB Gold common share (the “Exchange Ratio”).  As part of the Transaction, following such share exchange, First Source and CB Gold will amalgamate under the name CB Gold Inc. (“New CB Gold”).
 
At the closing of the Transaction, existing CB Gold shareholders and First Source shareholders will own, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 95% and 5% of the outstanding common shares of New CB Gold, respectively. The Transaction will constitute a reverse take-over of First Source by CB Gold within the meaning of the policies of the TSXV.
 
The Transaction is based on a value of $0.55 per common share of CB Gold, and the Exchange Ratio implies a per-share value of the common shares of First Source of $0.15 on a pre-consolidation basis.  This represents a premium of 114% to the closing price of First Source’s shares on the TSXV on February 25, 2010.
 
CB Gold intends to raise up to $5,000,000 in a non-brokered private placement at a price of $0.50 per share which is expected to close on or about March 19, 2010.  The Exchange Ratio will be amended to reflect the effect of this financing in the definitive agreement incorporating the terms of the Letter Agreement.
 
Concurrently with the completion of the Transaction, CB Gold and New CB Gold intend to raise gross proceeds of up to $35,000,000, the terms of which are to be determined, to finance acquisition costs, exploration and development expenses (including drilling and capital expenditures at CB Gold’s producing properties), working capital and corporate expenses, as set out below.
 
First Source and CB Gold intend to negotiate a definitive agreement that incorporates the terms of the Letter Agreement. The Transaction will be structured as a plan of arrangement or such other structure as First Source and CB Gold may agree to, as set out in the definitive agreement.  Further details regarding the proposed business combination will be provided in a joint management information circular (the “Circular”) which will be mailed to shareholders of First Source and CB Gold in connection with shareholders’ meetings of First Source and CB Gold, respectively, to be held to approve the Transaction.  The Circular is expected to be mailed to shareholders in April 2010 with shareholders’ meetings expected to be scheduled in May 2010.  The closing of the Transaction is expected to occur shortly following the meetings and in any event before July 31, 2010.  The Circular will contain detailed information in respect of First Source, CB Gold and New CB Gold, including operational, historical and pro-forma financial information, and will be accessible under First Source’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com shortly following mailing of the Circular to the shareholders of First Source and CB Gold.
 

 
 

 
G-17

The closing of the Transaction, as contemplated by the Agreement, is subject to a number of conditions, including the execution of a definitive agreement, the approval of the shareholders of First Source and CB Gold, the approval of all relevant regulatory authorities, including the TSXV, and the listing of the common shares of New CB Gold on the TSXV. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. The Agreement provides for the right of each of First Source and CB Gold to terminate the Agreement and not complete the Transaction in certain circumstances, including in the event the Transaction is not completed by July 31, 2010.
 
Under the terms of the Agreement, the outstanding common shares of First Source will be consolidated on a 3.5 to 1 basis (or such other ratio as agreed to by CB Gold and First Source) and, subject to any adjustments, shareholders of CB Gold will receive 1.0476 common shares of the Company for each one CB Gold common share.  New CB Gold will be headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.  On a post-Transaction basis and prior to any financings, New CB Gold will have approximately 62,885,630 shares outstanding. On a post-Transaction basis and prior to any financings, existing CB Gold shareholders and First Source shareholders will own, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 95% and 5% of the outstanding common shares of New CB Gold, respectively.
 
The Agreement provides that the outstanding options and warrants to acquire common shares of CB Gold will be amended so that, after the completion of the Transaction, they will represent options and warrants to purchase common shares of New CB Gold with an exercise price adjusted to reflect the terms of the Transaction.
 
The Agreement also requires the Company arrange to have the Property divested by the completion of the Transaction.  CB will also require that new owners of the Property accept any property liabilities, including environmental liabilities from the past three years exploration conducted by the Company.  The Company believes the Property has potential warranting continued exploration and is still considering options in this regard.
 
If the Transaction is not completed (if either party withdraws before a definitive agreement is executed, or if one of the required approvals is no obtained), activities over the ensuing year are anticipated to focus on the Property.
 
I. Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The Company has no exposure to Asset Backed Commercial Paper.
 
J. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements 
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and does not contemplate having them in the foreseeable future.
 

 
 

 
G-18

K. Use of Estimates 
 
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported results. The estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Critical accounting policies are disclosed in the annual audited financial statements.
 
L. Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data 
 
As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had:
 
 
·
10,230,955 common shares issued and outstanding; and
 
 
·
510,048 stock options issued and outstanding, each exercisable for one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.15 per common share at any time on or before June 1, 2012.
 
 
M. Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption
 
Financial Instruments

Sections 3862 and 3863 replaced Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”, revising its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward its presentation requirements.  These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.
 
Section 3862 specifies disclosures that enable users to evaluate: (i) the significance of financial instruments for the entity’s financial position and performance; and (ii) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed and how the entity manages those risks.
 
As a result of the adoption of these standards, additional disclosure on the risks of certain financial instruments has been included in note 4 to the Company’s financial statements.
 
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
 
In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies.  The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) over an expected five year transitional period.  In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP.  The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to the Company’s fiscal years beginning on or after August 1, 2011.  The effective date of August 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ending July 31, 2011.  While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS
 

 
 

 
G-19

for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.  The Company does not currently have a changeover plan in place respecting the changeover to IFRS from existing Canadian GAAP.  To prepare for the changeover, the Company intends to work closely with external consultants, its auditors and its legal counsel to ensure compliance with the changeover requirement and its future regulatory filing obligations.

 
N. Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company’s securities in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of their corporate development.
 
The principal business of the Company is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.  Given the nature of the mining business, the limited extent of the Company’s assets and the present stage of development, the following risk factors, among others, should be considered.
 
The Company does not hold any known mineral reserves of any kind and does not generate any revenues from production.  The Company’s success will depend largely upon its ability to locate commercially productive mineral reserves.  Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is non-productive.
 
There is no assurance that exploration efforts will be successful.  Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists.  Such programs require substantial additional funds.  Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
 
 
·
costs of bringing a property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;
 
 
·
availability and costs of financing;
 
 
·
ongoing costs of production;
 
 
·
market prices for the minerals to be produced;
 
 
·
environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and
 
 
·
political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.
 
Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely
 

 
 

 
G-20

basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.
 
For the quarter ended January 31, 2010, the Company had an operating loss of $40,502.  At January 31, 2010, the Company had working capital of $34,334.  The Company will need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity.  The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance.  If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any future offering of securities will be successful.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common shares. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
 
There is currently a disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company in relation to invoicing for the 2008 exploration season.  Lockhart Exploration has invoiced the Company, in an invoice dated December 5, 2008 and received by the Company on January 5, 2009, for an amount that was $131,000 over the board-approved budget. Negotiations between Lockhart Exploration and the Company are ongoing, but it does not appear the two sides are, as yet, close to working out a compromise.   If Lockhart Exploration initiates a legal action against the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to raise capital and secure contractors.  Moreover, if Lockhart Exploration is successful in claiming the full invoiced amount, it would have an adverse impact on the Company’s available capital.
 
Further related to the disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company, until the situation has been resolved, the Company does not plan on using Lockhart Exploration to manage ongoing exploration conducted by the Company at Lac des Pics.  It is anticipated that Risk Reduction Resources and/or Jean-Pierre Cloutier will supervise and manage exploration at Lac des Pics in the meantime.  If the disagreement with Lockhart Exploration can be resolved, the Company will revisit the issue of exploration management at Lac des Pics.  In the interim, it is possible that Lockhart Exploration will assert that by not using them to manage exploration at Lac des Pics the Company is in breach of the agreement under which the Company acquired the Lac des Pics property, which states that Lockhart Exploration is to be used to manage exploration at Lac des Pics unless time and budgetary constraints do not allow use of Lockhart Exploration.  If Lockhart Exploration asserts such a claim, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ownership of the Lac des Pics property, the Company’s ability to secure contractors, and/or an impact on the Company’s available capital.
 
The Company’s future profitability will depend upon the world market prices of the metals for which it is exploring.  Prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.  The prices of metals are influenced by factors including:
 
 
·
industrial and retail supply and demand;
 

 
 

 
G-21


 
·
exchange rates;
 
 
·
expectations with respect to inflation rates;
 
 
·
interest rates;
 
 
·
changes in global economies;
 
 
·
confidence in the global monetary system;
 
 
·
forward sales of metals by producers and speculators; and
 
 
·
other global or regional political, social or economic events.
 
The Company cannot guarantee that title to its mineral properties will not be challenged.  Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties and the Company’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained.  The Company’s mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects.  The Company has not conducted surveys of all of the claims in which it holds direct or indirect interests.  A successful challenge to the precise area and location of these claims could result in the Company being unable to operate on its properties as permitted or being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.
 
The agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired its interest in the Property provides that the Company must make a series of payments in cash and common shares over certain time periods and expend certain minimum amounts on the exploration of the Property.  If the Company fails to make such payments or expenditures in a timely fashion, the Company may lose its interest in the Property.  As of the date of this MD & A, subject to any potential disagreements from ASPM or the Lac des Pics management committee, which are not anticipated, all required payments and expenditures have been made.
 
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates.  Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.  There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.
 

 
 

 
G-22

The operations of the Company including exploration and any development activities or commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.   To the extent that such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.
 
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or to be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
 
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
 
Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration and development, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage.  The risks and hazards include:
 
 
·
environmental hazards;
 
 
·
industrial accidents;
 
 
·
metallurgical and other processing problems;
 
 
·
unusual or unexpected rock formations;
 
 
·
structural cave-ins or slides;
 
 
·
flooding;
 
 
·
fires;
 
 
·
metal losses; and
 
 
·
periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.
 
The Company’s exploration and any development of production may be further hampered by mining, heritage and environmental legislation, industrial disputes, cost overruns, land claims and compensation and other unforeseen contingencies.
 

 
 

 
G-23

The Company’s insurance does not cover all of its potential losses, liabilities and damage related to its business.  Exploration, development and production operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including:
 
 
·
unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions;
 
 
·
rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures;
 
 
·
fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences;
 
 
·
political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage;
 
 
·
delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes;
 
 
·
changes in regulatory environment;
 
 
·
monetary losses; and
 
 
·
possible legal liability.
 
It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons.  Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms.  Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
 
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable.  The Company also competes with other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.
 
Certain directors and officers of the Company are, and may continue to be, involved in the mining and mineral exploration industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures which are potential competitors of the Company.  Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of the Company.  Directors and officers of the Company with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in applicable corporate and securities legislation, regulations, rules and policies.
 
The Company’s success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in the Company’s growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of the President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, Peter Smith, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company. 
 

 
 

 
G-24

Mr. Smith also serves as a director for other active companies, including Terra Firma Resources Inc. (a private British Columbia company which conducts uranium exploration activities in Canada) and Palantine Capital Corp. (a private British Columbia capital pool company).  This list may also expand in the future. 
 
Mr. Smith currently devotes 60% of his time to First Source, 30% to Terra Firma Resources Inc. and 10% to other business ventures.  As Mr. Smith focuses some of his time on other companies and ventures, this may have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
 
The Company does not have key man insurance in place in respect of any of its directors or officers.
 
The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers and senior management to operate effectively, both independently and as a group.  To manage its growth, the Company may have to attract and retain additional highly qualified management, financial and technical personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems.  Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgment, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.
 
O. Licenses and Permits 
 
The operations of the Company require licenses and permits from various government authorities.  The Company believes that it holds all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations for work in progress and believes it is presently complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits.  However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances.  There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits that may be requires to explore and develop its properties, commence construction or operation of mining facilities or to maintain continued operations that economically justify the cost.

B. Description of Business 
 
The Company is a mineral exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.  The goal of the Company is to acquire, explore and develop properties that are highly prospective for gold, copper and other precious and base metals and industrial diamonds.  The objective of management of the Company is to develop a portfolio of properties through a combination of grassroots prospecting, land acquisition, and the formation of strategic industry relationships.
 
The Company was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on October 20, 2005.  The fiscal year end of the Company is July 31.
 
As of the date of this MD&A, the Company had 10,230,955 common shares issued and outstanding and 510,048 stock options to purchase common shares issued and outstanding.
 
C. Description of Mineral Properties and Agreements
 
The Company currently has an interest in and explores one gold/copper property in the Gaspe region of Quebec, known as Lac des Pics.
 
Lac Des Pics Property
 
The Company currently holds a 100% interest in the Lac des Pics Property (the “Property”) in the Province of Quebec, under an agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby First Source agreed, over
 

 
 

 
G-27

three years, to make cash payments to the vendor of the Property, ASPM Inc. (“ASPM”), of $75,000, grant ASPM 750,000 common shares in First Source and make $750,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property.  First Source also granted ASPM a 2% net smelter royalty to the vendor of the Property, 1.5% of which can be purchased back for $2,000,000 within 120 days of the completion of a bankable feasibility study.  As of the date hereof, First Source has made cash payments of $75,000 to ASPM, issued 750,000 common shares to ASPM and made approximately $708,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property.  Under the Agreement, First Source can terminate its obligations at any time and not be liable for unpaid portions of the purchase price, common shares and exploration expenditures, but the Property would then revert back to ASPM.
 
A technical report prepared by Jean-Pierre Cloutier, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), was completed in relation to the Property on June 7, 2007, and updated on September 30, 2007 to include work completed by the Company in June, July, August and September of 2007 (the “Technical Report”).  The Technical Report can be found at www.sedar.com.
 
The Technical Report recommended that the Company conduct two successive phases of work: Phase I comprising exploration expenditures of approximately $200,000 and Phase II, if required, representing exploration expenditures of approximately $300,000, for a cumulative total budget of approximately $500,000.  Each phase would culminate in a decision point.  Advancing to Phase II is contingent on positive results in Phase I.
 
Under the Technical Report, the proposed Phase I work program would consist of geological mapping, various airborne and ground geophysical surveys and soil geochemistry analysis.  The proposed Phase II work program would consist of additional and expanded stripping and mechanical trenching to expand on known anomalies and to investigate new possible anomalies, and select diamond drilling targets based on results from Phase I.
 
From mid-June of 2007 to the date of this MD&A, First Source has completed the Phase I work program and commenced Phase II, having spent approximately $708,000 to date exploring the Property.  The work conducted was largely based on recommendations from the Property’s Technical Report, and on recommendations from various consultants (Risk Reduction Resources Inc. and Jean-Pierre Cloutier), the Company’s project managers and the Company’s board of directors.  To date, the Company has accomplished the following exploration activities on the Property:
 
 
·
The construction of an access road and trenching for a combined total of 1,905 m;
 
 
·
Expansion of previously known mineralization points, including further excavation of Vein No. 1 over a strike length of 100 m, across a width of 2-4 m and to a depth of 2 m, limited expansion of other veins, and the excavation of newly discovered Vein E over a strike length of about 100 m and to widths in excess of 2 m (see diagrams A and B, below);
 
 
·
Fifty-five (55) rock samples of mineralized material from Vein No. 1 and Vein E were taken for a total collection of 50 grab and 5 channel samples, and were assayed for gold, base metals and other elements.  From vein No. 1, 11 of 23 grab samples analyzed at greater than 3 g/t Au, with the best two samples reading 12.5 g/t and 35.4 g/t respectively.
 

 
 

 
G-28

From Vein E, which appears to be copper bearing only, 9 of 27 samples ranged from 1.12% to 5.86% Cu;
 
 
·
An airborne electro-magnetic survey was flown over the entire Property in July of 2008, and results from that survey were used to initiate a ground geophysical survey, which was partially completed in the fall of 2008.; The airborne survey discovered, and the ground geophysical survey partially verified and further defined, five high-conductivity zones;
 
 
·
Systematic line cutting has been completed over electro magnetic anomalies identified by the airborne survey (high conductivity zones), and these lines have been used to gather more precise ground geophysical data and additional soil and rock samples.  A summary of the ground survey points is provided in Diagram D, below;
 
 
·
Ground geophysical data was gathered and analyzed from various points over three of the five high conductivity zones, showing the rough depth and width of high conductivity anomalies at various points.  From this data that Company has confirmed that the anomalies are of significant breadth and depth, at measured points.  More work needs to be done to further define the size of these anomalies (see diagram D, below), however, data gathered to date has been used to identify prospective drill targets for the 2009 exploration season (see diagram E, below).
 
 
·
A drill program was conducted during July and August of 2009, and five holes were drilled over 1191 meters.

Diagram E: Planned and Actual Drill Locations
 

 
The 2008 exploration season was completed on October 29, 2008, with ground geophysics and soil sampling having been completed over three of the anomalies identified by the airborne survey (zones 2, 3 and 4, as shown in diagrams C and D, above).  With airborne anomalies having been confirmed and further defined to significant size by ground geophysics (see diagram E above), the Company determined that it would proceed with further exploration (phase II) during the 2009 exploration season.
 
Based on results from the airborne survey conducted early in the exploration season, ASPM Inc. staked 58 additional claims surrounding the original Lac des Pics claims.  These additional units were claimed in trust for First Source, and were transferred to First Source in March of 2009.  These additional claim units constitute part of the Property, and are governed under the current agreement between ASPM and First Source.  Thus, any exploration expenditures on these additional claim units count toward First Source’s obligations under the Agreement, and ASPM will receive a 2% NSR on these new claims (of which First Source retains an option to buy back 1.5%, as per the Agreement) if First Source completes on its exploration, payment, and share commitments.
 
During the 2009 season, the Company completed further exploration work at Lac des Pics, including further geophysical mapping and some drilling. The drill program occurred during July and August of 2009, and five holes were drilled over 1191 meters. The goal of the drill program was to investigate three of the five geophysical anomalies detected using airborne and ground
 

 
 

 
G-32

geophysical survey methods in 2008.  From Diagram E, above, two holes were drilled in zone 2 (D09-02 and D09-03, 2 holes were drilled in zone 3 (D09-04 and D09-05), and one hole was drilled in zone 4 (D09-06).
 
From this drill program, the Company received results and a full corresponding geological report in September of 2009.
 
The report, authored by the supervising geologist for the program, Jean-Pierre Cloutier, indicated that core sample analysis results suggest that geophysical anomalies in zones two, three and four appear to have been caused by graphite, with some but very little pyrite, associated with siltstone and shale, and by magnetite mineralization associated with magnetite bearing sandstone. Fifty-seven core samples were analyzed for a suite of 51 elements and no anomalous values were reported. The sampling, transportation and analysis of samples were verified by Jean-Pierre Cloutier as supervising geologist.
 
Based on these results, the report concluded that the economic exploration potential of the Lac des Pics Property is limited, with two qualifications. First, the report noted that the exploration potential of untested geophysical conductors (anomalous zones one and five, which have not yet been drilled) remains unknown. Second, the report recommended that all previous work results (from First Source and previous groups/companies) should be compiled and integrated before any future decisions are made.
 
At this point, the Company plans to compile, integrate and analyze all the information it has, and can reasonably obtain, regarding the Lac des Pics Property. This done, the Board will decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to conduct further drilling (either to investigate the two remaining, undrilled geophysical anomalies or to further test one or more of the other three), or to explore other options.
 
First Source has made a full copy of the report available on the First Source Resources web-site (www.firstsourceresources.com).
 
D. Results of Operations 
 
The level of operations has been determined by the availability of capital resources.  To date, private placements and the Company’s initial public offering have provided the sole source of funding.
 
Quarter ended October 31, 2009 Compared to Quarter Ended October 31, 2008
 
For the quarter ended October 31, 2009, the Company incurred a loss before income taxes of $35,627 compared to a loss before income taxes of $50,854 for the quarter ended October 31, 2008.  The most significant expenses creating this loss are:
 
 
·
Professional fees, including audit and legal fees, of $11,080 (2008 - $20,322), as the Company incurred less professional fees due to having less activity and incurring less audit fees than in the corresponding period in 2008. Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company has deferred payment of $2,000 per month fees of the corporate secretary and $1,500 per month fees of the CFO, with the agreement of those two individuals.
 

 
 

 
G-33

 
 
·
Salaries and benefits of $17,722 (2008 - $18,891) in respect of the Company’s President and administrative assistant. Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company has deferred payment of $5,000 per month salary of the President, with the agreement of the President.
 
 
·
Other general and administrative expenses of $4,266 (2008 - $6,084).
 
 
·
Stock-based compensation expenses of $nil (2008 - $5,154), which have decreased due to all of the Company’s stock option grants becoming fully vested prior to this quarter.
 
 
·
Filing fees and shareholder services of $2,270 (2008 - $1,439). These expenses include costs of the various filings required by the TSX Venture Exchange for being listed on the Exchange.

F. Related Party Information 
 
During the year ended July 31, 2007, Wayne Lockhart, the Company’s Chief Geologist and a director of the Company, became a related party, through ASPM Inc. and his company Lockhart Exploration, to the following agreements:
 
 
·
Letter of Intent between the Company, ASPM Inc., and Lockhart Exploration dated February 27, 2007;
 
 
·
Formal Agreement between the Company and ASPM Inc., dated March 8, 2007; and
 
 
·
Exploration Services Agreement between the Company and Lockhart Exploration, dated June 20, 2007.
 
As Wayne Lockhart became a director and officer of the Company on March 10, 2007, he was not a director or officer of the Company when the first two agreements (the Letter of Intent and the Formal Agreement) were entered into.  These first two contracts set out the terms under which the Company obtained its interest in the Lac Des Pics Property and obligate the Company to use Mr. Lockhart’s exploration company, Lockhart Exploration, for exploration work conducted on the Property covered by the agreements (so long as Lockhart Exploration is able to complete such work at fair market rates within a reasonable timeframe).  The third agreement, the Exploration Services Agreement, details how Phase I of the exploration program is to be carried out by Lockhart Exploration on behalf of the Company.  Mr. Lockhart abstained from discussion and voting on the issue of whether the Company should resolve to enter into the Exploration Services
 

 
 

 
G-35

Agreement.  Mr. Lockhart directly benefits from all three of the above agreements in that they allow him to influence which geologists, contractors and other services are used in connection with the exploration program.  Further, Mr. Lockhart may also be providing his services as a geologist, and may pay himself a fee in relationship to such services, as well as one or more management fees, from Lockhart Exploration.  As at October 31, 2009, the Company had paid or owed to Lockhart Exploration $55,997 since the beginning of the project (2008 - $55,997) for management and consulting services.
 
Mr. Lockhart had previously disclosed to the Company that he had a 1/8th interest in ASPM Inc., but he has now informed the Company that he has no such interest.  The Company is currently seeking additional clarification on this matter from Mr. Lockhart.
 
There is currently a disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company in relation to invoicing for the 2008 exploration season.  Lockhart Exploration has invoiced the Company, in an invoice dated December 5, 2008 and received by the Company on January 5, 2009, for an amount that was $131,000 over the board-approved budget. Negotiations between Lockhart Exploration and the Company are ongoing, but it does not appear the two sides are, as yet, very close to working out a compromise.  As such, until the situation has been resolved, the Company does not plan on using Lockhart Exploration to manage ongoing exploration conducted by the Company at Lac des Pics.  It is anticipated that Risk Reduction Resources and/or Jean-Pierre Cloutier will supervise and manage exploration at Lac des Pics in the meantime.  If the disagreement with Lockhart Exploration can be resolved, the Company will revisit the issue of exploration management at Lac des Pics.
 
The Company shares office space and administrative services with another company, Terra Firma Resources Inc., of which the Company’s President, Peter Smith, is also a director.
 
The Company has engaged the services of Douglas Smith (no relation to Peter Smith), a director and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, for accounting services.  The Company has incurred $4,500 in the three months ended October 31, 2009 (2008 - $3,980) in respect of these services.  The Company has an accrued liability to Mr. Smith of $15,000 as at October 31, 2009 (July 31, 2009 - $10,500) in respect of those services. Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company has deferred payment of Mr. Smith’s fees with the agreement of Mr. Smith.
 
The Company has engaged the services of Michael Raven, a director and the Company’s Corporate Secretary, for legal services.  The Company has incurred $6,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2009 (2008 - $ 6,000) in respect of these services.  The Company has an accrued liability to Mr. Raven of $20,140 as at October 31, 2009 (July 31, 2009- $ 14,140) in respect of those services.  Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company has deferred payment of Mr. Raven’s fees with the agreement of Mr. Raven.
 
G. Financial Conditions, Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
The Company is in the exploration stage and has no income from operations.
 
The Company has financed its operations through private placements and through its initial public offering.  In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 the Company raised $357,901 through its initial public offering, compared with $403,629 the Company raised through private placements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007.  The Company has not raised any funds during the quarter ended October 31, 2009.  Cash as of October 31, 2009 was $2,676 compared to $94,135 as of July 31, 2009.
 

 
 

 
G-36

The Company’s mineral property exploration expenditures were $14,385 for the quarter ended October 31, 2009 compared to $141,738 for the quarter ended October 31, 2008.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended October 31, 2009 was $87,074 compared with cash used in operating activities of $37,328 for the quarter ended October 31, 2008.
 
The Company had a working capital position of $74,548 at October 31, 2009 compared to working capital of $122,267 as at July 31, 2009.
 
On January 30, 2006, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 500,000 common shares of the Company at $0.02 per share. The private placement generated gross proceeds of $10,000.  The purpose of the private placement was to provide the Company with a minimal administrative budget, allowing it to seek out a viable property on which to conduct possible future exploration activities.  Between February 21, 2007 and February 23, 2007, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,487,617 common shares of the Company at $0.03 per share and 1,700,000 common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $129,628.50.  The purpose of the private placement was to provide the Company with a minimal administrative budget, fund the Company’s acquisition of the Property and to fund preliminary exploration of the Property.  Between March 14, 2007 and May 31, 2007, the Company completed another non-brokered private placement of 2,053,338 common shares of the Company at $0.15 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $308,000.  The purpose of the second private placement was to continue funding administrative and exploration costs incurred by the Company in relation to its ongoing exploration of the Property.  The Company does not have the required cash to satisfy its working capital and near term requirements.
 
The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) on February 28, 2008, pursuant to a prospectus filed on December 7, 2007, which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The IPO consisted of 1,700,000 common shares of the Company sold for $0.30 per share for gross proceeds of $510,000. As compensation for acting as agent for the IPO, the Company paid Union Securities Ltd. (the “Agent”) a corporate finance fee of $25,000, a 7% cash commission on gross proceeds raised from the IPO, and issued the Agent warrants entitling the Agent to acquire up to 7% of the number of common shares sold pursuant to the IPO, exercisable at $0.30 per share for up to 12 months after the closing date of the IPO. The Company also reimbursed the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Company in connection with the IPO. Prior to the IPO, private placements provided the sole source of funding for the Company.
 
In July of 2009, the Company completed another non-brokered private placement of 1,890,000 common shares of the Company at $0.10 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $189,000.  The purpose of this private placement was to continue funding administrative and exploration costs incurred by the Company in relation to its ongoing exploration of the Property, in particular, to fund the drilling program conducted in July and August of 2009.

Under the Formal Agreement entered with ASPM Inc. on March 8, 2007, through which the Company acquired its interest in the Property, the Company is committed, over three years to pay ASPM Inc. $75,000, issue ASPM Inc. 750,000 shares, and spend $750,000 exploring the Property.  The commitments break down, year to year, as follows:
 

 
 

 
G-37


Year 1 (by March 8, 2008)
$25,000 payment due
150,000 shares to be issued
$150,000 in exploration by June 7, 2008
Year 2 (by March 8, 2009)
$25,000 payment due
250,000 shares to be issued
$250,000 in exploration by June 7, 2009
Year 3 (by March 8, 2010)
$25,000 payment due
350,000 share to be issued
$350,000 in exploration by June 7, 2010

 
As of the date of this MD&A, First Source has made cash payments of $75,000 to ASPM and has issued 750,000 common shares to ASPM (year 1, year 2, and year 3 obligations all met in full).  As of July 31, 2009, First Source had made exploration expenditures of approximately $708,000 on the Property. Accordingly, the Company has met its current exploration obligations under the Agreement to make at least $400,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property by the end of year 2 (by June 7, 2009).   The Company has until June 7, 2010 to make an additional $42,000 in exploration spending, at which point there will be no further obligations under the acquisition agreement.  The Company anticipates that it will meet its exploration spending obligations through additional consulting and data analysis to determine the best future exploration approach at Lac des Pics.  This work is anticipated to take place over the coming winter months.
 
The Company has limited financial resources and finances its operations by raising capital in the equity markets.  For the near future, the Company will need to rely on the sale of such securities and/or enter into joint venture agreements with third parties to provide working capital and to finance its mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.  Since the Company does not generate any revenue from operations, its long-term profitability will be directly related to the success of its mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.  In particular, the Company will need to raise additional money to complete its final year of exploration which requires an additional $42,000 in exploration spending, by June 7, 2010.  If the Company fails to meet these obligations, the Property will revert back to ASPM.
 
H. Subsequent Events and Outlook 
 
There are no events subsequent to the date of this document that have not been discussed above. 
 
The Company is confident that the Property has potential warranting continued exploration.  Activities over the ensuing year will focus on the Property.
 
I. Financial Instruments 
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The Company has no exposure to Asset Backed Commercial Paper.
 
J. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements 
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and does not contemplate
 

 
 

 
G-38

having them in the foreseeable future.
 
K. Use of Estimates 
 
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported results. The estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Critical accounting policies are disclosed in the annual audited financial statements.
 
L. Disclosure Controls and Procedures 
 
Current securities policies in Canada require that management of the Company certifies that it has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at every interim and annual period.  Management has concluded that the disclosure controls as at October 31, 2009 were effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed had been provided to it in a timely manner, and that the information was recorded, processed and reported within the time period necessary to prepare the filings.  The board of directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control.  The board currently does not have an Audit Committee, but intends to appoint one following its annual general meeting of shareholders on January 28, 2010.   Upon formation of the Audit Committee, it will meet at least annually with the Company’s external auditors to review accounting, internal control, financial reporting, and audit matters, as the Committee has done in the past.
 
M. Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company’s securities in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of their corporate development.
 
The principal business of the Company is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.  Given the nature of the mining business, the limited extent of the Company’s assets and the present stage of development, the following risk factors, among others, should be considered.
 
The Company does not hold any known mineral reserves of any kind and does not generate any revenues from production.  The Company’s success will depend largely upon its ability to locate commercially productive mineral reserves.  Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is non-productive.
 
There is no assurance that exploration efforts will be successful.  Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists.  Such programs require substantial additional funds.  Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
 
 
·
costs of bringing a property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;
 
 
 
 

 
G-39

 
·
availability and costs of financing;
 
 
·
ongoing costs of production;
 
 
·
market prices for the minerals to be produced;
 
 
·
environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and
 
 
·
political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.
 
Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.
 
For the quarter ended October 31, 2009, the Company had an operating loss of $35,627.  At October 31, 2009, the Company had working capital of $74,548.  The Company will need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity.  The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance.  If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any future offering of securities will be successful.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common shares. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
 
There is currently a disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company in relation to invoicing for the 2008 exploration season.  Lockhart Exploration has invoiced the Company, in an invoice dated December 5, 2008 and received by the Company on January 5, 2009, for an amount that was $131,000 over the board-approved budget. Negotiations between Lockhart Exploration and the Company are ongoing, but it does not appear the two sides are, as yet, close to working out a compromise.   If Lockhart Exploration initiates a legal action against the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to raise capital and secure contractors.  Moreover, if Lockhart Exploration is successful in claiming the full invoiced amount, it would have an adverse impact on the Company’s available capital.
 
Further related to the disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company, until the situation has been resolved, the Company does not plan on using Lockhart Exploration to manage ongoing exploration conducted by the Company at Lac des Pics.  It is anticipated that Risk
 

 
 

 
G-40

Reduction Resources and/or Jean-Pierre Cloutier will supervise and manage exploration at Lac des Pics in the meantime.  If the disagreement with Lockhart Exploration can be resolved, the Company will revisit the issue of exploration management at Lac des Pics.  In the interim, it is possible that Lockhart Exploration will assert that by not using them to manage exploration at Lac des Pics the Company is in breach of the agreement under which the Company acquired the Lac des Pics property, which states that Lockhart Exploration is to be used to manage exploration at Lac des Pics unless time and budgetary constraints do not allow use of Lockhart Exploration.  If Lockhart Exploration asserts such a claim, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ownership of the Lac des Pics property, the Company’s ability to secure contractors, and/or an impact on the Company’s available capital.
 
The Company’s future profitability will depend upon the world market prices of the metals for which it is exploring.  Prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.  The prices of metals are influenced by factors including:
 
 
·
industrial and retail supply and demand;
 
 
·
exchange rates;
 
 
·
expectations with respect to inflation rates;
 
 
·
interest rates;
 
 
·
changes in global economies;
 
 
·
confidence in the global monetary system;
 
 
·
forward sales of metals by producers and speculators; and
 
 
·
other global or regional political, social or economic events.
 
The Company cannot guarantee that title to its mineral properties will not be challenged.  Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties and the Company’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained.  The Company’s mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects.  The Company has not conducted surveys of all of the claims in which it holds direct or indirect interests.  A successful challenge to the precise area and location of these claims could result in the Company being unable to operate on its properties as permitted or being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.
 
The agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired its interest in the Property provides that the Company must make a series of payments in cash and common shares over certain time periods and expend certain minimum amounts on the exploration of the Property.  If the Company fails to make such payments or expenditures in a timely fashion, the Company may lose its interest in the Property.
 
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are
 

 
 

 
G-41

beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates.  Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.  There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.
 
The operations of the Company including exploration and any development activities or commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.   To the extent that such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.
 
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or to be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
 
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
 
Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration and development, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage.  The risks and hazards include:
 
 
·
environmental hazards;
 
 
·
industrial accidents;
 
 
·
metallurgical and other processing problems;
 
 
·
unusual or unexpected rock formations;
 
 
·
structural cave-ins or slides;

 
 
 

 
G-42

 
 
·
flooding;
 
 
·
fires;
 
 
·
metal losses; and
 
 
·
periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.
 
The Company’s exploration and any development of production may be further hampered by mining, heritage and environmental legislation, industrial disputes, cost overruns, land claims and compensation and other unforeseen contingencies.
 
The Company’s insurance does not cover all of its potential losses, liabilities and damage related to its business.  Exploration, development and production operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including:
 
 
·
unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions;
 
 
·
rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures;
 
 
·
fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences;
 
 
·
political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage;
 
 
·
delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes;
 
 
·
changes in regulatory environment;
 
 
·
monetary losses; and
 
 
·
possible legal liability.
 
It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons.  Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms.  Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
 
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable.  The Company also competes with other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.
 
Certain directors and officers of the Company are, and may continue to be, involved in the mining and mineral exploration industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures which are potential competitors of the Company.  Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or investments where the other interests of these
 

 
 

 
G-43

directors and officers may conflict with the interests of the Company.  Directors and officers of the Company with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in applicable corporate and securities legislation, regulations, rules and policies.
 
The Company’s success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in the Company’s growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of the President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, Peter Smith, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company. 
 
Mr. Smith also serves as a director for other active companies, including Terra Firma Resources Inc. (a private British Columbia company which conducts uranium exploration activities in Canada) and Amicus Capital Corp. (a private British Columbia capital pool company).  This list may also expand in the future. 
 
Mr. Smith currently devotes 60% of his time to First Source, 30% to Terra Firma Resources Inc. and 10% to other business ventures.  As Mr. Smith focuses some of his time on other companies and ventures, this may have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
 
The Company does not have key man insurance in place in respect of any of its directors or officers.
 
The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers and senior management to operate effectively, both independently and as a group.  To manage its growth, the Company may have to attract and retain additional highly qualified management, financial and technical personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems.  Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgment, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.
 
N. Licenses and Permits 
 
The operations of the Company require licenses and permits from various government authorities.  The Company believes that it holds all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations for work in progress and believes it is presently complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits.  However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances.  There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits that may be requires to explore and develop its properties, commence construction or operation of mining facilities or to maintain continued operations that economically justify the cost.

C.
Introduction and Forward Looking Statements
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial position and results of operations of First Source Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “First Source”) is prepared as at November 25, 2009 and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2009.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. All dollar figures included therein and in the following MD&A are quoted in Canadian dollars. Additional information relevant to the Company and its activities can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
 
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements concerning, among other things, statements with respect to the Company’s business strategy, plans, outlook, targets and expectations regarding exploration, results of exploration, mineralized material and cash operating costs. Such statements can generally be identified by the use of  words or phrases such as “anticipates”, “estimates”, “projects”, “foresees”, “believes”, “would”, “should”, “will” and other similar words or phrases.

B. Description of Business 
 
The Company is a mineral exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.  The goal of the Company is to acquire, explore and develop properties that are highly prospective for gold, copper and other precious and base metals and industrial diamonds.  The objective of management of the Company is to develop a portfolio of properties through a combination of grassroots prospecting, land acquisition, and the formation of strategic industry relationships.
 
The Company was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on October 20, 2005.  The fiscal year end of the Company is July 31.
 
As of the date of this MD&A, the Company had 10,230,955 common shares issued and outstanding and 510,048 stock options to purchase common shares issued and outstanding.
 
C. Description of Mineral Properties and Agreements
 
The Company currently has an interest in and explores one gold/copper property in the Gaspe region of Quebec, known as Lac des Pics.
 
Lac Des Pics Property
 
The Company currently holds a 100% interest in the Lac des Pics Property (the “Property”) in the Province of Quebec, under an agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby First Source agreed, over three years, to make cash payments to the vendor of the Property, ASPM Inc. (“ASPM”), of $75,000, grant ASPM 750,000 common shares in First Source and make $750,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property.  First Source also granted ASPM a 2% net smelter royalty to the vendor of the Property, 1.5% of which can be purchased back for $2,000,000 within 120 days of the completion of a bankable feasibility study.  As of the date hereof, First Source has made
 

 
 

 
G-46

cash payments of $75,000 to ASPM, issued 750,000 common shares to ASPM and made approximately $670,000  in exploration expenditures on the Property.  Under the Agreement, First Source can terminate its obligations at any time and not be liable for unpaid portions of the purchase price, common shares and exploration expenditures, but the Property would then revert back to ASPM.
 
A technical report prepared by Jean-Pierre Cloutier, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), was completed in relation to the Property on June 7, 2007, and updated on September 30, 2007 to include work completed by the Company in June, July, August and September of 2007 (the “Technical Report”).  The Technical Report can be found at www.sedar.com.
 
The Technical Report recommended that the Company conduct two successive phases of work: Phase I comprising exploration expenditures of approximately $200,000 and Phase II, if required, representing exploration expenditures of approximately $300,000, for a cumulative total budget of approximately $500,000.  Each phase would culminate in a decision point.  Advancing to Phase II is contingent on positive results in Phase I.
 
Under the Technical Report, the proposed Phase I work program would consist of geological mapping, various airborne and ground geophysical surveys and soil geochemistry analysis.  The proposed Phase II work program would consist of additional and expanded stripping and mechanical trenching to expand on known anomalies and to investigate new possible anomalies, and select diamond drilling targets based on results from Phase I.
 
From mid-June of 2007 to the date of this MD&A, First Source has completed the Phase I work program and commenced Phase II, having spent approximately $670,000 to date exploring the Property.  The work conducted was largely based on recommendations from the Property’s Technical Report, and on recommendations from various consultants (Risk Reduction Resources Inc. and Jean-Pierre Cloutier), the Company’s project managers and the Company’s board of directors.  To date, the Company has accomplished the following exploration activities on the Property:
 
 
·
The construction of an access road and trenching for a combined total of 1,905 m;
 
 
·
Expansion of previously known mineralization points, including further excavation of Vein No. 1 over a strike length of 100 m, across a width of 2-4 m and to a depth of 2 m, limited expansion of other veins, and the excavation of newly discovered Vein E over a strike length of about 100 m and to widths in excess of 2 m (see diagrams A and B, below);
 
 
·
Fifty-five (55) rock samples of mineralized material from Vein No. 1 and Vein E were taken for a total collection of 50 grab and 5 channel samples, and were assayed for gold, base metals and other elements.  From vein No. 1, 11 of 23 grab samples analyzed at greater than 3 g/t Au, with the best two samples reading 12.5 g/t and 35.4 g/t respectively.  From Vein E, which appears to be copper bearing only, 9 of 27 samples ranged from 1.12% to 5.86% Cu;
 
 
·
An airborne electro-magnetic survey was flown over the entire Property in July of 2008, and results from that survey were used to initiate a ground geophysical survey, which was partially completed in the fall of 2008.; The airborne survey discovered, and the ground geophysical survey partially verified and further defined, five high-conductivity zones;
 
 
·
Systematic line cutting has been completed over electro magnetic anomalies identified by the airborne survey (high conductivity zones), and these lines have been used to gather more precise ground geophysical data and additional soil and rock samples.  A summary of the ground survey points is provided in Diagram D, below;
 

 
 

 
G-47


 
·
Ground geophysical data was gathered and analyzed from various points over three of the five high conductivity zones, showing the rough depth and width of high conductivity anomalies at various points.  From this data the Company has confirmed that the anomalies are of significant breadth and depth, at measured points.  More work needs to be done to further define the size of these anomalies (see diagram D, below), however, data gathered to date has been used to identify prospective drill targets for the 2009 exploration season (see diagram E, below).
 
 
·
A drill program was conducted during July and August of 2009, and five holes were drilled over 1191 meters.

Diagram E: Planned and Actual Drill Locations
 

 
The 2008 exploration season was completed on October 29, 2008, with ground geophysics and soil sampling having been completed over three of the anomalies identified by the airborne survey (zones 2, 3 and 4, as shown in diagrams C and D, above).  With airborne anomalies having been confirmed and further defined to significant size by ground geophysics (see diagram E above), the Company determined that it would proceed with further exploration (phase II) during the 2009 exploration season.
 
Based on results from the airborne survey conducted early in the exploration season, ASPM Inc. staked 58 additional claims surrounding the original Lac des Pics claims.  These additional units were claimed in trust for First Source, and were transferred to First Source in March of 2009.  These additional claim units constitute part of the Property, and are governed under the current agreement between ASPM and First Source.  Thus, any exploration expenditures on these additional claim units count toward First Source’s obligations under the Agreement, and ASPM will receive a 2% NSR on these new claims (of which First Source retains an option to buy back 1.5%, as per the Agreement) if First Source completes on its exploration, payment, and share commitments.
 
During the 2009 season, the Company completed further exploration work at Lac des Pics, including further geophysical mapping and some drilling. The drill program occurred during July and August of 2009, and five holes were drilled over 1191 meters. The goal of the drill program was to investigate three of the five geophysical anomalies detected using airborne and ground geophysical survey methods in 2008.  From Diagram E, above, two holes were drilled in zone 2 (D09-02 and D09-03, 2 holes were drilled in zone 3 (D09-04 and D09-05), and one hole was drilled in zone 4 (D09-06).
 
From this drill program, the Company received results and a full corresponding geological report in September of 2009.
 

 
 

 
G-51
 

The report, authored by the supervising geologist for the program, Jean-Pierre Cloutier, indicated that core sample analysis results suggest that geophysical anomalies in zones two, three and four appear to have been caused by graphite, with some but very little pyrite, associated with siltstone and shale, and by magnetite mineralization associated with magnetite bearing sandstone. Fifty-seven core samples were analyzed for a suite of 51 elements and no anomalous values were reported. The sampling, transportation and analysis of samples were verified by Jean-Pierre Cloutier as supervising geologist.
 
Based on these results, the report concluded that the economic exploration potential of the Lac des Pics Property is limited, with two qualifications. First, the report noted that the exploration potential of untested geophysical conductors (anomalous zones one and five, which have not yet been drilled) remains unknown. Second, the report recommended that all previous work results (from First Source and previous groups/companies) should be compiled and integrated before any future decisions are made.
 
At this point, the Company plans to compile, integrate and analyze all the information it has, and can reasonably obtain, regarding the Lac des Pics Property. This done, the Board will decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to conduct further drilling (either to investigate the two remaining, undrilled geophysical anomalies or to further test one or more of the other three), or to explore other options.
 
First Source has made a full copy of the report available on the First Source Resources web-site (www.firstsourceresources.com).
 
D. Results of Operations 
 
The level of operations has been determined by the availability of capital resources.  To date, private placements and the Company’s initial public offering have provided the sole source of funding.
 
Year Ended July 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended July 31, 2008
 
For the year ended July 31, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $216,927 compared to a net loss of $167,264 for the year ended July 31, 2008.  The most significant expenses creating this loss are:
 
 
·
Professional fees, including accrued audit and legal fees of $84,450 (2008 - $44,423), as the Company incurred significant professional fees relating to increased exploration, accounting and legal activity. The Company started paying its corporate secretary $2,000 per month effective March 1, 2008 for his services and its Chief Financial Officer $1,500 per month effective September 1, 2008 for his services.
 
 
·
Salaries and benefits of $70,495 (2008 - $38,816) in respect of the Company’s President and administrative assistant, who became employees of the company effective February 1, 2008 (only representing approximately half of the previous year, but all of the current year).
 
 
·
General and administrative expenses of $33,719 (2008 - $35,304).  The Company maintained office space and incurred costs for office supplies, travel for site visits and meetings, business fees and licenses, telephone and board meeting expenses during the year.
 
 
·
Filing fees and shareholder services of $12,726 (2008 - $24,683). These expenses include costs of the various filings required by the TSX Venture Exchange for being listed on the Exchange, for intermittent release of escrowed stock, intermittent press release to inform the public about exploration progress, and the like.
 

 
 

 
G-52
 


 
E. Fourth Quarter
 
For the quarter ended July 31, 2009, the Company incurred a loss before income taxes of $70,303 compared to a loss before income taxes of $55,644 for the quarter ended July 31, 2008. The increase from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to greater professional fees and greater expense for filing fees and shareholder services incurred in the fourth quarter of 2009 than in the fourth quarter of 2008.

H. Related Party Information 
 
During the year ended July 31, 2007, Wayne Lockhart, the Company’s Chief Geologist and a director of the Company, became a related party, through his company Lockhart Exploration, to the following agreements:
 

 
 

 
G-54

 
 
·
Letter of Intent between the Company, ASPM Inc., and Lockhart Exploration dated February 27, 2007;
 
 
·
Formal Agreement between the Company and ASPM Inc., dated March 8, 2007; and
 
 
·
Exploration Services Agreement between the Company and Lockhart Exploration, dated June 20, 2007.
 
As Wayne Lockhart became a director and officer of the Company on March 10, 2007, he was not a director or officer of the Company when the first two agreements (the Letter of Intent and the Formal Agreement) were entered into.  The effect of these first two contracts is to obligate the Company to use Mr. Lockhart’s exploration company, Lockhart Exploration, for exploration work conducted on the Property covered by the agreements (so long as Lockhart Exploration is able to complete such work at fair market rates within a reasonable timeframe).  The third agreement, the Exploration Services Agreement, details how Phase I of the exploration program is to be carried out by Lockhart Exploration on behalf of the Company.  Mr. Lockhart abstained from discussion and voting on the issue of whether the Company should resolve to enter into the Exploration Services Agreement.  Mr. Lockhart directly benefits from all three of the above agreements in that they allow him to influence which geologists, contractors and other services are used in connection with the exploration program.  Further, Mr. Lockhart may also be providing his services as a geologist, and may pay himself a fee in relationship to such services, as well as one or more management fees, from Lockhart Exploration.  As at July 31, 2009, the Company had paid or owed to Lockhart Exploration $55,997 since the beginning of the project (July 2008 - $55,997) for management and consulting services.
 
The Company has also recently learned that Mr. Lockhart has a 1/8th interest in ASPM Inc., which is the vendor of the Lac des Pics Property and a frequently used subcontractor by Lockhart Exploration.
 
There is currently a disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company in relation to invoicing for the 2008 exploration season.  Lockhart Exploration has invoiced the Company, in an invoice dated December 5, 2008 and received by the Company on January 5, 2009, for an amount that was $131,000 over the board-approved budget. Negotiations between Lockhart Exploration and the Company are ongoing, but it does not appear the two sides are, as yet, very close to working out a compromise.  As such, until the situation has been resolved, the Company does not plan on using Lockhart Exploration to manage ongoing exploration conducted by the Company at Lac des Pics.  Lockhart Exploration was not used for any of the Company’s exploration work during the 2009 season.
 
The Company shares office space and administrative services with another company, Terra Firma Resources Inc., of which the Company’s President, Peter Smith, is also a director. The Company has an amount due to related parties of $880 at July 31, 2009 (July 31, 2008 - receivable of $4,122) with Terra Firma Resources Inc. for reimbursement of administrative costs.
 
The Company has engaged the services of Douglas Smith (no relation to Peter Smith), a director and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, for accounting services.  The Company has incurred $17,480 (2008 - $8,529) in respect of these services.  Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company has deferred payment of Mr. Smith’s fees with the agreement of Mr. Smith.
 
The Company has engaged the services of Michael Raven, a director and the Company’s Corporate Secretary, for legal services.  The Company has incurred $24,787  (2008 - $ 11,770) in respect of these services.  Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company has deferred payment of Mr. Raven’s fees with the agreement of Mr. Raven.
 

 
 

 
G-55

I. Financial Conditions, Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
The Company is in the exploration stage and has no income from operations.
 
The Company has financed its operations through private placements and through its initial public offering.  In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, the Company raised $189,000 through private placements, compared with $357,901 the Company raised through its initial public offering in the year ended July 31, 2008.  Cash and cash equivalents as of July 31, 2009 was $94,135 compared to $357,361 as of July 31, 2008.
 
The Company’s mineral property acquisition and exploration expenditures were $440,628 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 compared to $191,774 for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2008.  The increase is due to the Company’s increased general exploration activity, and due to the Company’s requirements under its property acquisition agreement with ASPM Inc., which required $250,000 in exploration spending in the second year after the signing of the agreement (the 2008 exploration season) and required $350,000 in exploration spending in the third year after the signing of the agreement (the 2009 exploration season).  Moreover, the Company did much of its exploration work from 2008 after July 31, 2008 and much of the current year’s exploration work before July 31, 2009.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 was $124,954 compared with $119,623 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. The increase is not significant.
 
The Company had working capital of $122,267 at July 31, 2009 compared to working capital of $421,942 as of July 31, 2008.
 
 On January 30, 2006, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 500,000 common shares of the Company at $0.02 per share. The private placement generated gross proceeds of $10,000.  The purpose of the private placement was to provide the Company with a minimal administrative budget, allowing it to seek out a viable property on which to conduct possible future exploration activities.  Between February 21, 2007 and February 23, 2007, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,487,617 common shares of the Company at $0.03 per share and 1,700,000 common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $129,628.50.  The purpose of the private placement was to provide the Company with a minimal administrative budget, fund the Company’s acquisition of the Property and to fund preliminary exploration of the Property.  Between March 14, 2007 and May 31, 2007, the Company completed another non-brokered private placement of 2,053,338 common shares of the Company at $0.15 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $308,000.  The purpose of the second private placement was to continue funding administrative and exploration costs incurred by the Company in relation to its ongoing exploration of the Property.

The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) on February 28, 2008, pursuant to a prospectus filed on December 7, 2007, which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The IPO consisted of 1,700,000 common shares of the Company sold for $0.30 per share for gross proceeds of $510,000. As compensation for acting as agent for the IPO, the Company paid Union Securities Ltd. (the “Agent”) a corporate finance fee of $25,000, a 7% cash commission on gross proceeds raised from the IPO, and issued the Agent warrants entitling the Agent to acquire up to 7% of the number of common shares sold pursuant to the IPO, exercisable at $0.30 per share for up to 12 months after the closing date of the IPO. The Company also reimbursed the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Company in connection with the IPO. Prior to the IPO, private placements provided the sole source of funding for the Company.
 
In July of 2009, the Company completed another non-brokered private placement of 1,890,000 common shares of the Company at $0.10 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $189,000.  The purpose of this private placement was to continue funding administrative and exploration costs incurred by the Company in

relation to its ongoing exploration of the Property, in particular, to fund the drilling program conducted in July and August of 2009.

Under the Formal Agreement entered with ASPM Inc. on March 8, 2007, through which the Company acquired its interest in the Property, the Company is committed, over three years to pay ASPM Inc. $75,000, issue ASPM Inc. 750,000 shares, and spend $750,000 exploring the Property.  The commitments break down, year to year, as follows:
 
Year 1 (by March 8, 2008)
$25,000 payment due
150,000 shares to be issued
$150,000 in exploration by June 7, 2008
Year 2 (by March 8, 2009)
$25,000 payment due
250,000 shares to be issued
$250,000 in exploration by June 7, 2009
Year 3 (by March 8, 2010)
$25,000 payment due
350,000 share to be issued
$350,000 in exploration by June 7, 2010

 
As of the date of this MD&A, First Source has made cash payments of $75,000 to ASPM and has issued 750,000 common shares to ASPM (year 1, year 2, and year 3 obligations all met in full).  As of July 31, 2009, First Source had made exploration expenditures of approximately $656,000 on the Property. Accordingly, the Company has met its current exploration obligations under the Agreement to make at least $400,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property by the end of year 2 (by June 7, 2009).   The Company has until June 7, 2010 to make an additional $94,000 in exploration spending, at which point there will be no further obligations under the acquisition agreement.  Some additional exploration expenses have been incurred after July 31, 2009.
 
The Company has limited financial resources and finances its operations by raising capital in the equity markets.  For the near future, the Company will need to rely on the sale of such securities and/or enter into joint venture agreements with third parties to provide working capital and to finance its mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.  Since the Company does not generate any revenue from operations, its long-term profitability will be directly related to the success of its mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.
 
J. Subsequent Events and Outlook 
 
There are no events subsequent to the date of this document that have not been discussed above. 
 
As discussed under “Lac des Pics” above, despite disappointing results from the 2009 drilling program, the Company plans to compile, integrate and analyze all the information it has, and can reasonably obtain, regarding the Property and, this done, the Board will decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to conduct further drilling (either to investigate the two remaining, undrilled geophysical anomalies or to further test one or more of the other three), or to explore other options.
 
K. Financial Instruments 
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, due from related party, share subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The Company has no exposure to Asset Backed Commercial Paper.

 
 
 

 
G-57

L. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements 
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and does not contemplate having them in the foreseeable future.
 
M. Use of Estimates 
 
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported results. The estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Critical accounting policies are disclosed in the annual audited financial statements.
 
N. Disclosure Controls and Procedures 
 
Current securities policies in Canada require that management of the Company certifies that it has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at every interim and annual period.  Management has concluded that the disclosure controls as at July 31, 2009 were effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed had been provided to it in a timely manner, and that the information was recorded, processed and reported within the time period necessary to prepare the filings.  The board of directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control.  The Audit Committee meets at least annually with the Company’s external auditors to review accounting, internal control, financial reporting, and audit matters.
 
O. Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company’s securities in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of their corporate development.
 
The principal business of the Company is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.  Given the nature of the mining business, the limited extent of the Company’s assets and the present stage of development, the following risk factors, among others, should be considered.
 
The Company does not hold any known mineral reserves of any kind and does not generate any revenues from production.  The Company’s success will depend largely upon its ability to locate commercially productive mineral reserves.  Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is non-productive.
 
There is no assurance that exploration efforts will be successful.  Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists.  Such programs require substantial additional funds.  Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
 
 
·
costs of bringing a property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;
 
 
·
availability and costs of financing;
 
 
·
ongoing costs of production;
 

 
 

 
G-58

 
 
·
market prices for the minerals to be produced;
 
 
·
environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and
 
 
·
political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.
 
Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.
 
For the financial year ended July 31, 2009, the Company had an operating loss of $216,927.  At July 31, 2009, the Company had working capital of $122,267.  The Company will need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity.  The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance.  If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any future offering of securities will be successful.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common shares. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital, which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
 
There is currently a disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company in relation to invoicing for the 2008 exploration season.  Lockhart Exploration has invoiced the Company, in an invoice dated December 5, 2008 and received by the Company on January 5, 2009, for an amount that was $131,000 over the board-approved budget. Negotiations between Lockhart Exploration and the Company are ongoing, but it does not appear the two sides are, as yet, close to working out a compromise.   If Lockhart Exploration initiates a legal action against the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to raise capital and secure contractors.  Moreover, if Lockhart Exploration is successful in claiming the full invoiced amount, it would have an adverse impact on the Company’s available capital.
 
Further related to the disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company, until the situation has been resolved, the Company does not plan on using Lockhart Exploration to manage ongoing exploration conducted by the Company at Lac des Pics.  It is anticipated that Risk Reduction Resources and/or Jean-Pierre Cloutier will supervise and manage exploration at Lac des Pics in the meantime.  If the disagreement with Lockhart Exploration can be resolved, the Company will revisit the issue of exploration management at Lac des Pics.  In the interim, it is possible that Lockhart Exploration will assert that by not using them to manage exploration at Lac des Pics the Company is in breach of the agreement under which the Company acquired the Lac des Pics Property, which states that Lockhart Exploration is to be used to manage exploration at Lac des Pics unless time and budgetary constraints do not allow use of Lockhart Exploration.  If Lockhart Exploration asserts such a claim, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ownership of the Lac des Pics Property, the Company’s ability to secure contractors, and/or an impact on the Company’s available capital.
 

 
 

 
G-59

The Company’s future profitability will depend upon the world market prices of the metals for which it is exploring.  Prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.  The prices of metals are influenced by factors including:
 
 
·
industrial and retail supply and demand;
 
 
·
exchange rates;
 
 
·
expectations with respect to inflation rates;
 
 
·
interest rates;
 
 
·
changes in global economies;
 
 
·
confidence in the global monetary system;
 
 
·
forward sales of metals by producers and speculators; and
 
 
·
other global or regional political, social or economic events.
 
The Company cannot guarantee that title to its mineral properties will not be challenged.  Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties and the Company’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained.  The Company’s mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects.  The Company has not conducted surveys of all of the claims in which it holds direct or indirect interests.  A successful challenge to the precise area and location of these claims could result in the Company being unable to operate on its properties as permitted or being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.
 
The agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired its interest in the Property provides that the Company must make a series of payments in cash and common shares over certain time periods and expend certain minimum amounts on the exploration of the Property.  If the Company fails to make such payments or expenditures in a timely fashion, the Company may lose its interest in the Property.
 
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates.  Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.  There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.
 

 
 

 
G-60

The operations of the Company including exploration and any development activities or commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.   To the extent that such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.
 
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or to be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
 
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
 
Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration and development, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage.  The risks and hazards include:
 
 
·
environmental hazards;
 
 
·
industrial accidents;
 
 
·
metallurgical and other processing problems;
 
 
·
unusual or unexpected rock formations;
 
 
·
structural cave-ins or slides;
 
 
·
flooding;
 
 
·
fires;
 
 
·
metal losses; and
 
 
·
periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.
 
The Company’s exploration and any development of production may be further hampered by mining, heritage and environmental legislation, industrial disputes, cost overruns, land claims and compensation and other unforeseen contingencies.
 
The Company’s insurance does not cover all of its potential losses, liabilities and damage related to its business.  Exploration, development and production operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including:
 
 
·
unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions;
 
 
·
rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures;
 

 
 

 
G-61

 
 
·
fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences;
 
 
·
political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage;
 
 
·
delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes;
 
 
·
changes in regulatory environment;
 
 
·
monetary losses; and
 
 
·
possible legal liability.
 
It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons.  Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms.  Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
 
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large, established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable.  The Company also competes with other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.
 
Certain directors and officers of the Company are, and may continue to be, involved in the mining and mineral exploration industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures which are potential competitors of the Company.  Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of the Company.  Directors and officers of the Company with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in applicable corporate and securities legislation, regulations, rules and policies.
 
The Company’s success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in the Company’s growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of the President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, Peter Smith, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company. 
 
Mr. Smith also serves as a director for another active company, Terra Firma Resources Inc. (a private British Columbia company which conducts uranium exploration activities in Canada).  This list may also expand in the future. 
 
Mr. Smith currently devotes 60% of his time to First Source, 30% to Terra Firma Resources Inc. and 10% to other business ventures.  As Mr. Smith focuses some of his time on other companies, this may have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
 
The Company does not have key man insurance in place in respect of any of its directors or officers.
 
The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers and senior management to operate effectively, both independently and as a group.  To manage its growth, the Company may have to attract and retain additional highly qualified management, financial and technical personnel and continue to implement and
 

 
 

 
G-62

improve operational, financial and management information systems.  Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgment, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.
 
P. Licenses and Permits 
 
The operations of the Company require licenses and permits from various government authorities.  The Company believes that it holds all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations for work in progress and believes it is presently complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits.  However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances.  There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits that may be requires to explore and develop its properties, commence construction or operation of mining facilities or to maintain continued operations that economically justify the cost.

B. Description of Business 
 
The Company is a mineral exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.  The goal of the Company is to acquire, explore and develop properties that are highly prospective for gold, copper and other precious and base metals and industrial diamonds.  The objective of management of the Company is to develop a portfolio of properties through a combination of grassroots prospecting, land acquisition, and the formation of strategic industry relationships.
 
The Company was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on October 20, 2005.  The fiscal year end of the Company is July 31.
 
As of the date of this MD&A, the Company had 7,990,955 common shares issued and outstanding, 119,000 warrants to purchase common shares issued and outstanding and 570,048 stock options to purchase common shares issued and outstanding.
 
C. Description of Mineral Properties and Agreements
 
The Company currently has an interest in and explores one gold/copper property in the Gaspe region of Quebec, Lac des Pics, and is party to an agreement with Diagnos Inc. (“Diagnos”), of Montreal, Quebec, to explore and potentially claim land units throughout a large section of central Canada.  Diagnos is a data analysis company that specializes in reducing exploration risk by obtaining existing geological data, conducting a multi-layered geological analysis of that data, and subsequently identifying the most prospective targets in advance through that analysis.
 

 
 

 
G-65

i) Lac des Pics
 
The Company currently holds a 100% interest in the Lac des Pics Property (the “Property”) in the Province of Quebec, under an agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby First Source agreed, over three years, to make cash payments to the vendor of the Property, ASPM Inc. (“ASPM”), of $75,000, grant ASPM 750,000 common shares in First Source and make $750,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property.  First Source also granted ASPM a 2% net smelter royalty to the vendor of the Property, 1.5% of which can be purchased back for $2,000,000 within 120 days of the completion of a bankable feasibility study.  As of the date hereof, First Source has made cash payments of $50,000 to ASPM, issued 400,000 common shares to ASPM and made approximately $400,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property.  Under the Agreement, First Source can terminate its obligations at any time and not be liable for unpaid portions of the purchase price, common shares and exploration expenditures, but the Property would then revert back to ASPM.
 
A technical report prepared by Jean-Pierre Cloutier, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), was completed in relation to the Property on June 7, 2007, and updated on September 30, 2007 to include work completed by the Company in June, July, August and September of 2007 (the “Technical Report”).  The Technical Report can be found at www.sedar.com.
 
The Technical Report recommended that the Company conduct two successive phases of work: Phase I comprising exploration expenditures of approximately $200,000 and Phase II, if required, representing exploration expenditures of approximately $300,000, for a cumulative total budget of approximately $500,000.  Each phase would culminate in a decision point.  Advancing to Phase II is contingent on positive results in Phase I.
 
Under the Technical Report, the proposed Phase I work program would consist of geological mapping, various airborne and ground geophysical surveys and soil geochemistry analysis.  The proposed Phase II work program would consist of additional and expanded stripping and mechanical trenching to expand on known anomalies and to investigate new possible anomalies, and select diamond drilling targets based on results from Phase I.
 
From mid-June of 2007 to the date of this MD&A, First Source has completed the Phase I work program and commenced Phase II, having spent approximately $400,000 ($248,800 to July 31, 2008) exploring the Property through Lockhart Exploration Services Inc. (“Lockhart Exploration”).  The work conducted was largely based on recommendations from the Property’s Technical Report and on recommendations from Lockhart Exploration and the Company’s board of directors.  To date, the Company has accomplished the following exploration activities on the Property:
 
 
·
The construction of an access road and trenching for a combined total of 1,905 m;
 
 
·
Expansion of previously known mineralization points, including further excavation of Vein No. 1 over a strike length of 100 m, across a width of 2-4 m and to a depth of 2 m, limited expansion of other veins, and the excavation of newly discovered Vein E over a strike length of about 100 m and to widths in excess of 2 m (see diagrams A and B, below);
 
 
·
Fifty-five (55) rock samples of mineralized material from Vein No. 1 and Vein E were taken for a total collection of 50 grab and 5 channel samples, and were assayed for gold, base metals and other elements.  From vein No. 1, 11 of 23 grab samples analyzed at greater than 3 g/t Au, with the best two samples reading 12.5 g/t and 35.4 g/t respectively.  From Vein E, which appears to be copper bearing only, 9 of 27 samples ranged from 1.12% to 5.86% Cu;
 
 
 
 

 
G-66
 

 
 
 
An airborne electro-magnetic survey was flown over the entire Property in July of 2008, and results from that survey were used to initiate a ground geophysical survey, which is currently underway (see diagram C, below); The airborne survey discovered five high-conductivity zones;
 
 
·
Systematic line cutting has been completed over electro magnetic anomalies identified by the airborne survey (high conductivity zones), and these lines have been used to gather more precise ground geophysical data and additional soil and rock samples.  A summary of the ground survey points is provided in Diagram D, below.

G-68



 
The 2008 exploration season was completed on October 29, 2008, with ground geophysics and soil sampling having been completed over three of the anomalies identified by the airborne survey (zones 2, 3 and 4, as shown in diagrams C and D, above).  It is anticipated that analysis of data from the 2008 exploration season should be completed in November of 2008, and the Company plans to release another NI 43-101 technical report shortly thereafter describing these results.  It is further anticipated that this report will be used by the Company to determine whether the Company should proceed with Phase II of its current exploration plan at the Property during the 2009 exploration season, which would likely include further geophysical mapping and drilling.
 
ii) Diagnos Agreement
 
The Company entered into a services agreement dated July 14, 2008 with Diagnos Inc. (“Diagnos”) to explore an area covering approximately 37,000,000 acres or 150,000 square kilometres in central Canada.  Under the agreement, First Source would provide an aggregate of $3,000,000 of funding between November 15, 2008 and July 15, 2010 and Diagnos would use its proprietary Computer Aided Resources Detection System (“CARDS”) to generate exploration targets in the area of interest.
 

 
 

 
G-69

Unless Diagnos and First Source mutually agree otherwise, the cash paid by First Source would be allocated as follows (plus or minus a deviation of 10%):
 
 
·
$1,000,000 to be spent on the gathering and analysis of data, both publicly available and privately obtained by Diagnos, respecting the area of interest using CARDS;
 
 
·
$1,000,000 to be spent on land acquisition and staking of properties, as well as basic geological recognizance; and
 
 
·
$1,000,000 to be spent on field exploration (expected to include airborne surveys, trenching, soil, rock and/or channel sampling, and geological mapping) to be executed on no less than ten properties to be selected mutually by the parties.
 
Any material decisions to be made under the agreement shall be made jointly by First Source and Diagnos.  First Source and Diagnos expect to identify up to 50 mineral exploration properties within the area of interest as a result of the exploration program.
 
Under the agreement, First Source has the right to obtain a 100% interest in up to five properties of its choosing (with a 1.5% NSR interest being retained by Diagnos).  Each party will retain a 50% interest in all other properties identified.  Until First Source has recovered the $3,000,000 it has paid to Diagnos, it will receive 80% of the proceeds from the sale of properties identified by the exploration program; once First Source has recovered its investment, proceeds of sales of properties will be split equally between the parties.  It is expected that the parties will jointly retain a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on each property that they sell.  All other revenues realized from the information generated under the agreement, such as the sale of such information to third parties, will be split as mutually agreed by the parties.
 
If First Source makes payments in an aggregate amount of at least $1,800,000 but fails to pay the full $3,000,000, then it will retain a 25% interest in any claims or properties that are staked in the area of interest.
 
The agreement is subject to First Source raising a minimum of $750,000 on or before November 15, 2008.  As of the date of this MD&A, the Company has not raised the minimum amount required to proceed with the agreement.
 
D. Results of Operations 
 
The level of operations has been determined by the availability of capital resources.  To date, private placements have provided the sole source of funding.
 
Year Ended July 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended July 31, 2007
 
For the year ended July 31, 2008, the Company incurred a loss before income taxes of $167,264 compared to a loss before income taxes of $50,979 for the year ended July 31, 2007.  The most significant expenses creating this loss are:
 
 
·
Professional fees, including accrued audit and legal fees of $44,423 (July 31, 2007 - $20,800), as the Company incurred significant professional fees relating to increased exploration, accounting and legal activity.
 
 
·
Salaries and benefits of $38,816 (July 31, 2007 - $nil) in respect of the Company’s President and the administrative assistant, who became employees of the company effective February 1, 2008.

 
 
 

 
G-70
 
 
 
·
Travel expenses of $13,711 (July 31, 2007 - $5,184).  During the year ended July 31, 2008, the Company incurred expenses for the Chief Executive Officer to travel to: Montreal to negotiate a services agreement with Diagnos; to the Property on three occasions to assist in the co-ordination of the 2007 and 2008 exploration programs, and; to one mining conference.  Only one visit to the Property, and one mining conference trip, occurred in the year ended July 31, 2007.
 
 
·
Other general and administrative expenses of $21,428 (July 31, 2007 - $5,083).  The Company maintained office space, paid for one part-time administrative staff member, and incurred costs for office supplies during the entire year, but did not  have an independent office or any staff for the entire year ended July 31, 2007.  Further, the Company started paying its president, Peter Smith, and its corporate secretary, Mike Raven $5,000 per month and $2,000 per month respectively for their services.
 
 
·
Stock-based compensation expenses of $32,077 (July 31, 2007 - $13,173). The Company’s stock option plan was outstanding for the full year in 2008, as compared to two months outstanding in 2007.
 
 
·
Filing fees and shareholder services of $24,683 (July 31, 2007 - $nil). These expenses include costs of the various filings required by the TSX Venture Exchange for being listed on the Exchange, and $5,000 paid to a consultant for services rendered in seeking investors to fund the Diagnos services agreement.
 
E. Fourth Quarter
 
For the quarter ended July 31, 2008, the Company incurred a loss before income taxes of $55,644 compared to a loss before income taxes of $49,836 for the quarter ended July 31, 2007.
 
As the Company’s exploration activities were similar at this point in the exploration season for the quarter ended July 31, 2008 as opposed to the quarter ended July 31, 2007, Company expenses for these two periods, including administrative, travel and direct exploration spending, were also similar for the two respective periods.  The Company is generally the most active in exploration spending during this quarter, and the next quarter (ending October 31), as this is the time of year where the Gaspe region of Quebec is most accessible.

 
F. Selected Annual Information 
 
The following table sets forth summary financial information for the Company for the years ended July 31, 2007 and July 31, 2008 and the period from incorporation, October 20, 2005, to July 31, 2006. This information has been summarized from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2008,  the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2007, and the period from incorporation to July 31, 2006.

H. Related Party Information 
 
During the year ended July 31, 2007, Wayne Lockhart, the Company’s Chief Geologist and a director of the Company, became a related party, through his company Lockhart Exploration, to the following agreements:
 
 
·
Letter of Intent between the Company, ASPM Inc., and Lockhart Exploration dated February 27, 2007;
 
 
·
Formal Agreement between the Company and ASPM Inc., dated March 8, 2007; and
 
 
·
Exploration Services Agreement between the Company and Lockhart Exploration, dated June 20, 2007.
 
As Wayne Lockhart became a director and officer of the Company on March 10, 2007, he was not a director or officer of the Company when the first two agreements (the Letter of Intent and the Formal Agreement) were entered into.  The effect of these first two contracts is to obligate the Company to use Mr. Lockhart’s exploration company, Lockhart Exploration, for exploration work conducted on the Property covered by the agreements (so long as Lockhart Exploration is able to complete such work at fair market rates within a reasonable timeframe).  The third agreement, the Exploration Services Agreement, details how Phase I of the exploration program is to be carried out by Lockhart Exploration on behalf of the Company.  Mr. Lockhart abstained from discussion and voting on the issue of whether the Company should resolve to enter into the Exploration Services Agreement.  Mr. Lockhart directly benefits from all three of the above agreements in that they allow him to influence which geologists, contractors and other services are used in connection with the exploration program.  Further, Mr. Lockhart will also be providing his services as a geologist, and will pay himself a fee in relationship to such services, as well as one or more management fees, from Lockhart Exploration.  As at July 31, 2008, the Company had paid or owed to Lockhart Exploration $55,997 since the beginning of the project (July 2007 - $5,774) for management and consulting services.  Included in prepaid expenses is $1,488 (2007 - $ nil) as a deposit for future costs incurred on behalf of the Company.
 
The Company shares office space and administrative services with another company, Terra Firma Resources Inc., of which the Company’s President, Peter Smith, is also a director. The Company has a receivable of $4,122 at July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007 - $1,994) from Terra Firma Resources Inc. for reimbursement of administrative costs.
 
The Company has engaged the services of Douglas Smith (no relation to Peter Smith), a director and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, for accounting services.  The Company has incurred $8,529 (2007 - $ 2,800) in respect of these services.  The Company has an accrued liability to Mr. Smith of $5,329 as at July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007 - $2,800) in respect of those services.
 

 
 

 
G-73

The Company has engaged the services of Michael Raven, a director and the Company’s Corporate Secretary, for legal services.  The Company has incurred $11,770 (2007 - $ nil) in respect of these services.  The Company has an accrued liability to Mr. Raven of $ 1,070 as at July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007 - $ nil) in respect of those services.
 
I. Financial Conditions, Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
The Company is in the exploration stage and has no income from operations.
 
The Company has financed its operations through private placements and through its initial public offering.  In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 the Company raised $357,901 through its initial public offering, compared with $403,629 the Company raised through private placements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007.  Cash as of July 31, 2008 was $357,361 compared to $296,634 as of July 31, 2007.
 
The Company’s mineral property expenditures were $194,637 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 compared to $111,938 for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2007.  The increase is due to the Company’s increased general exploration activity, and due to the Company’s requirements under its property acquisition agreement with ASPM Inc., which required $150,000 in exploration spending in the first year after the signing of the agreement exploration season and required $250,000 in exploration spending in the second year after the signing of the agreement.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 was $139,400 compared with $31,079 for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2007.  The increase was due to the fact that the Company became more active in conducting exploration activities during the most recent fiscal year.
 
The Company had a working capital position of $421,942 at July 31, 2007 compared to working capital of $311,678 as of July 31, 2007.
 
On January 30, 2006, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 500,000 common shares of the Company at $0.02 per share. The private placement generated gross proceeds of $10,000.  The purpose of the private placement was to provide the Company with a minimal administrative budget, allowing it to seek out a viable property on which to conduct possible future exploration activities.  Between February 21, 2007 and February 23, 2007, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,487,617 common shares of the Company at $0.03 per share and 1,700,000 common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $129,628.50.  The purpose of the private placement was to provide the Company with a minimal administrative budget, fund the Company’s acquisition of the Property and to fund preliminary exploration of the Property.  Between March 14, 2007 and May 31, 2007, the Company completed another non-brokered private placement of 2,053,338 common shares of the Company at $0.15 per share.  The private placement generated gross proceeds of $308,000.  The purpose of the second private placement was to continue funding administrative and exploration costs incurred by the Company in relation to its ongoing exploration of the Property.  The Company does not have the required cash to satisfy its working capital and near term requirements.

The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) on February 28, 2008, pursuant to a prospectus filed on December 7, 2007, which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The IPO consisted of 1,700,000 common shares of the Company sold for $0.30 per share for gross proceeds of $510,000. As compensation for acting as agent for the IPO, the Company paid Union Securities Ltd. (the “Agent”) a corporate finance fee of $25,000, a 7% cash commission on gross proceeds raised from the IPO, and issued the Agent warrants entitling the Agent to acquire up to 7% of the number of common shares sold pursuant to the IPO, exercisable at $0.30 per share for up to 12 months after the closing date of the IPO. The Company also reimbursed the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Company in connection with the IPO. Prior to the IPO, private placements provided the sole source of funding for the Company.
 

 
 

 
G-74

Under the Formal Agreement entered with ASPM Inc. on March 8, 2007, through which the Company acquired its interest in the Property, the Company is committed, over three years to pay ASPM Inc. $75,000, issue ASPM Inc. 750,000 shares, and spend $750,000 exploring the Property.  The commitments break down, year to year, as follows:
 
Year 1 (by March 8, 2008)
$25,000 payment due
150,000 shares to be issued
$150,000 in exploration by June 7, 2008
Year 2 (by March 8, 2009)
$25,000 payment due
250,000 shares to be issued
$250,000 in exploration by June 7, 2009
Year 3 (by March 8, 2010)
$25,000 payment due
350,000 share to be issued
$350,000 in exploration by June 7, 2010

As of the date of this MD&A, First Source has made cash payments of $50,000 to ASPM and has issued 400,000 common shares to ASPM (Year 1 and year 2 obligations).  As of July 31, 2008, First Source had made exploration expenditures of $248,800 on the Property, and as of the date of this MD&A, the Company estimates that it has made an additional $160,000 of exploration expenditures on the Property.  Accordingly, the Company has met its current exploration obligations under the Agreement to make at least $400,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property by the end of year 2 (by June 7, 2009).  It is anticipated that if there are remaining expenditure obligations (if the Company’s estimates are somewhere short of $400,000 in exploration spending to date) they will be met and exceeded in the coming months as geological and geophysical analysis is conducted on the 2008 summer program field results.
 
The Company has limited financial resources and finances its operations by raising capital in the equity markets.  For the near future, the Company will need to rely on the sale of such securities and/or enter into joint venture agreements with third parties to provide working capital and to finance its mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.  Since the Company does not generate any revenue from operations, its long-term profitability will be directly related to the success of its mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.  In particular, the Company will need to raise additional money to complete its final year of exploration and cash payment obligations in relation to the Property, which require a $25,000 cash payment to ASPM, and an additional $350,000 in exploration spending, by June 7, 2010.  If the Company fails to meet these obligations, the Property will revert back to ASPM.
 
J. Subsequent Events and Outlook 
 
There are no events subsequent to the date of this document that have not been discussed above. 
 
The Company is confident that the Property has potential warranting continued exploration.  Activities over the ensuing year will focus on the Property, and on potentially expanding the Company’s resource property portfolio through its agreement with Diagnos.
 
K. Financial Instruments 
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The Company has no exposure to Asset Backed Commercial Paper.
 
L. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements 
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and does not contemplate having them in
 

 
 

 
G-75

the foreseeable future.
 
M. Use of Estimates 
 
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported results. The estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Critical accounting policies are disclosed in the annual audited financial statements.
 
N. Disclosure Controls and Procedures 
 
Current securities policies in Canada require that management of the Company certifies that it has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at every interim and annual period.  Management has concluded that the disclosure controls as at July 31, 2008 were effective in ensuring that all material information required to be files had been provided to it in a timely manner, and that the information was recorded, processed and reported within the time period necessary to prepare the filings.  The board of directors, though its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control.  The Audit Committee, composed the Company’s Chairman, Peter Smith, and two independent directors, meets least annually with the Company’s external auditors to review accounting, internal control, financial reporting, and audit matters.
 
O. Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company’s securities in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of their corporate development.
 
The principal business of the Company is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.  Given the nature of the mining business, the limited extent of the Company’s assets and the present stage of development, the following risk factors, among others, should be considered.
 
The Company does not hold any known mineral reserves of any kind and does not generate any revenues from production.  The Company’s success will depend largely upon its ability to locate commercially productive mineral reserves.  Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is non-productive.
 
There is no assurance that exploration efforts will be successful.  Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists.  Such programs require substantial additional funds.  Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
 
 
·
costs of bringing a property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;
 
 
·
availability and costs of financing;
 
 
·
ongoing costs of production;
 
 
·
market prices for the minerals to be produced;
 
 

 
 

 
G-76
 
 
 
·
environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and
 
 
·
political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.
 
Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.
 
For the financial year ended July 31, 2008, the Company had an operating loss of $167,264.  At July 31, 2008, the Company had working capital of $421,942.  The Company will need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity.  The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance.  If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any future offering of securities will be successful.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common shares. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
 
The Company’s future profitability will depend upon the world market prices of the metals for which it is exploring.  Prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.  The prices of metals are influenced by factors including:
 
 
·
industrial and retail supply and demand;
 
 
·
exchange rates;
 
 
·
expectations with respect to inflation rates;
 
 
·
interest rates;
 
 
·
changes in global economies;
 
 
·
confidence in the global monetary system;
 
 
·
forward sales of metals by producers and speculators; and
 
 
·
other global or regional political, social or economic events.
 
The Company cannot guarantee that title to its mineral properties will not be challenged.  Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties and the Company’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained.  The Company’s mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects.  The Company has not conducted surveys of all of the claims in
 

 
 

 
G-77

which it holds direct or indirect interests.  A successful challenge to the precise area and location of these claims could result in the Company being unable to operate on its properties as permitted or being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.
 
The agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired its interest in the Property provides that the Company must make a series of payments in cash and common shares over certain time periods and expend certain minimum amounts on the exploration of the Property.  If the Company fails to make such payments or expenditures in a timely fashion, the Company may lose its interest in the Property.
 
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates.  Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.  There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.
 
The operations of the Company including exploration and any development activities or commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.   To the extent that such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.
 
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or to be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
 
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
 
Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration and development, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage.  The risks and hazards include:
 
 
·
environmental hazards;
 
 
 
 

 
G-78

 
·
industrial accidents;
 
 
·
metallurgical and other processing problems;
 
 
·
unusual or unexpected rock formations;
 
 
·
structural cave-ins or slides;
 
 
·
flooding;
 
 
·
fires;
 
 
·
metal losses; and
 
 
·
periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.
 
The Company’s exploration and any development of production may be further hampered by mining, heritage and environmental legislation, industrial disputes, cost overruns, land claims and compensation and other unforeseen contingencies.
 
The Company’s insurance does not cover all of its potential losses, liabilities and damage related to its business.  Exploration, development and production operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including:
 
 
·
unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions;
 
 
·
rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures;
 
 
·
fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences;
 
 
·
political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage;
 
 
·
delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes;
 
 
·
changes in regulatory environment;
 
 
·
monetary losses; and
 
 
·
possible legal liability.
 
It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons.  Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms.  Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
 
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable.  The Company also competes with other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.
 

 
 

 
G-79

Certain directors and officers of the Company are, and may continue to be, involved in the mining and mineral exploration industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures which are potential competitors of the Company.  Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of the Company.  Directors and officers of the Company with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in applicable corporate and securities legislation, regulations, rules and policies.
 
The Company’s success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in the Company’s growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of the President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, Peter Smith, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company. 
 
Mr. Smith also serves as a director for other active companies, including Terra Firma Resources Inc. (a private British Columbia company which conducts uranium exploration activities in Canada) and Amicus Capital Corp. (a private British Columbia capital pool company).  This list may also expand in the future. 
 
Mr. Smith currently devotes 60% of his time to First Source, 30% to Terra Firma Resources Inc. and 10% to Amicus Capital Corp.  As Mr. Smith focuses some of his time on other companies, this may have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
 
The Company does not have key man insurance in place in respect of any of its directors or officers.
 
The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers and senior management to operate effectively, both independently and as a group.  To manage its growth, the Company may have to attract and retain additional highly qualified management, financial and technical personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems.  Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgment, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.
 
P. Licenses and Permits 
 
The operations of the Company require licenses and permits from various government authorities.  The Company believes that it holds all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations for work in progress and believes it is presently complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits.  However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances.  There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits that may be requires to explore and develop its properties, commence construction or operation of mining facilities or to maintain continued operations that economically justify the cost.

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by Registered Shareholders only and is not to be used by beneficial holders of CB Gold Shares that are not registered holders (the “Non-Registered Shareholders”).

The Amalgamation is anticipated to be effective on or about August 6, 2010.  If the Amalgamation is completed at the Effective Time, CB Gold Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will be entitled to receive, in exchange for each CB Gold Share, one Amalco Share.

In order for Registered Shareholders to receive the consideration for their CB Gold Shares, Registered Shareholders are required to deposit the certificates representing the CB Gold Shares held by them with Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the “Depositary”). This Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with all other required documents, must accompany all certificates for CB Gold Shares deposited pursuant to the Amalgamation.

No fractional Amalco Shares will be issued or transferred to CB Gold Shareholders.  The number of Amalco Shares to be issued or transferred will be rounded down to the nearest whole Amalco Share.

CB Gold Shareholders who do not deliver certificates representing their CB Gold Shares and all other required documents to the Depositary on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date will lose their right to receive the Amalco Shares or any other consideration in exchange for their CB Gold Shares.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

WITH RESPECT TO THE
COMMON SHARES OF

FIRST SOURCE RESOURCES INC.

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered holders (the “Registered Shareholders”) of common shares (the “FS Shares”) of First Source Resources Inc. (“First Source”) in connection with the proposed business combination involving CB Gold Inc. (“CB Gold”) and First Source by way of amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”), which is being submitted for approval at the special meeting of the shareholders of First Source (“FS Shareholders”) to be held on July 30, 2010 (the “FS Meeting”). Registered Shareholders are referred to the notice of special meeting of FS Shareholders and management information circular dated June 28, 2010 (the “Circular”) prepared in connection with the FS Meeting that accompanies this Letter of Transmittal. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Letter of Transmittal that are defined in the Circular have the meaning set out in the Circular.

COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC.
(SEE LAST PAGE FOR ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER)
OR YOUR BROKER OR OTHER FINANCIAL ADVISOR WILL BE ABLE
TO ASSIST YOU IN COMPLETING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by Registered Shareholders only and is not to be used by beneficial holders of FS Shares that are not registered holders (the “Non-Registered Shareholders”). A Non-Registered Shareholder does not hold FS Shares in its name - rather such FS Shares are held through an intermediary or clearing agency, such as CDS & Co.  If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, you should contact your intermediary for instructions and assistance in depositing your FS Shares and receiving the consideration for such FS Shares.

The Amalgamation is anticipated to be effective on or about August 6, 2010.  If the Amalgamation is completed at the Effective Time, FS Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will be entitled to receive, in exchange for each FS Share, 0.254512 of one Amalco Share.

In order for Registered Shareholders to receive the consideration for their FS Shares, Registered Shareholders are required to deposit the certificates representing the FS Shares held by them with Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the “Depositary”). This Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with all other required documents, must accompany all certificates for FS Shares deposited pursuant to the Amalgamation.

No fractional Amalco Shares will be issued or transferred to FS Shareholders.  The number of Amalco Shares to be issued or transferred will be rounded down to the nearest whole Amalco Share.

FS Shareholders who do not deliver certificates representing their FS Shares and all other required documents to the Depositary on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date will lose their right to receive the Amalco Shares or any other consideration in exchange for their FS Shares.

COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC., as depositary, at the office set out herein
AND TO:
CB GOLD INC.
AND TO:
FIRST SOURCE RESOURCES INC.

Please read carefully the Circular and the instructions set out below before completing this Letter of Transmittal. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal to an address other than as set forth herein will not constitute valid delivery.  If FS Shares are registered in different names, a separate Letter of Transmittal must be submitted for each different Registered Shareholder. See Instruction 2.

The covenants, representations and warranties of the undersigned herein contained will survive the completion of the Amalgamation.

Except for any proxy deposited with respect to the vote on the Amalgamation in connection with the FS Meeting, the undersigned revokes any and all authority, other than as granted in this Letter of Transmittal, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, proxy or otherwise, previously conferred or agreed to be conferred by the undersigned at any time with respect to the Deposited Shares and no subsequent authority, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, proxy or otherwise will be granted with respect to the Deposited Shares.

It is understood that the undersigned will not receive the applicable consideration under the Amalgamation in respect of the Deposited Shares until the certificate(s) representing the Deposited Shares owned by the undersigned are received by the Depositary at the address set forth on the back of this Letter of Transmittal, together with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents as the Depositary may require, and until the same are processed by the Depositary.

AUDITORS' REPORT


TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FIRST SOURCE RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the balance sheets of First Source Resources Inc.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

FIRST SOURCE RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended July 31, 2009 and 2008
 



1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
   
 
First Source Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on October 20, 2005. The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties. The investment in and expenditures on mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets.  Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal.
   
2.
GOING CONCERN
   
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company being able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due and to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, the attainment of profitable mining operations or the receipt of proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
   
 
The Company reported net losses of $216,927 for the year ended July 31, 2009 and $167,264 for the year ended July 31, 2008, and has an accumulated deficit of $435,222 as at July 31, 2009 (2008  - $218,295).  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company being able to raise equity financing and the attainment of profitable operations.  The Company had working capital of $122,267 at July 31, 2009 (2008 - $421,942).
   
 
The business of mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that current exploration projects will result in future profitable mining operations. The Company has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead, pay its debts and liabilities, and maintain its mineral property interests. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property interests is dependent on several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral properties. The carrying value of the Company’s mineral property interests does not reflect current or future values.
   
 
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate because management believes actions already taken or planned will mitigate the adverse conditions and events that raise doubts about the validity of the going concern assumption used in preparing these financial statements.
   
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
 
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of Canadian generally accepted accounting policies (“GAAP”).  The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
   
 
(a)
Cash and cash equivalents
     
   
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand and deposits, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and purchased with original maturities of one year or less.
     
 
(b)
Tax credits receivable
     
   
The Company accrues provincial resource tax credits and mining duties credits based on management’s best estimate of the tax credits according to its interpretation of current tax legislation.  Such claims are subject to review by taxation authorities and, therefore, the amount ultimately received could be materially different than the amount recorded.  Tax credits are recorded using the cost reduction method and are included as a reduction of mineral property interests.
     
 
(c)
Mineral property interests
     
   
The Company capitalizes all costs related to investments in mineral property interests on a property-by-property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries.  Costs are capitalized until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral property interests are either developed or the Company's mineral rights are allowed to lapse.
     
   
All capitalized mineral property expenditures are reviewed annually, on a property-by-property basis, to consider whether there are any conditions that may indicate impairment. When the carrying value of a property interest exceeds its net recoverable amount that may be estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve, joint venture expenditure commitments or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount exceeding the capitalized costs, provision is made for the impairment in value.
     
   
From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. As the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.
     
 
(d)
Impairment of long-lived assets
     
   
Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually or when changes in circumstances suggest their carrying value has become impaired.  Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.  Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
   
 
(e)
Use of estimates
     
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of tax credits receivable, rates of amortization for equipment, environmental obligations, asset retirement obligations (“ARO”), the impairment in value of mineral property interests, accrued liabilities, contingent liabilities, valuation allowance for future tax assets and the variables used in the calculation of stock-based compensation.  While management believes the estimates used are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
     
 
(f)
Asset retirement obligation
     
   
The Company recognizes estimates of the liability associated with an ARO in the financial statements at the time the liability is incurred.  The estimated fair value of the ARO is recorded as a long-term liability, with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset.  The capitalized amount is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the life of the proved reserves.  The liability amount is increased each reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion is charged to operations in the period.  The ARO can also increase or decrease due to changes in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated undiscounted cost.  Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the ARO are charged against the ARO to the extent of the liability recorded.  Amounts are recorded once they become known or can be readily estimated.  At present, the Company has determined that it has no material AROs.
     
 
(g)
Income taxes
     
   
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and losses carried forward.  Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period in which the change is enacted or substantially assured.  The amount of future income tax assets is limited to the amount of the benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.
     
   
Shares held in escrow, other than where their release is subject to the passage of time, are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
     
 
(i)
Stock-based compensation
     
   
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using a fair value based method with respect to all stock-based payments to directors, employees and non-employees. For directors and employees, the fair value of the options is measured at the date of grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete or the date the performance commitment is reached or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. For directors, employees and non-employees, the fair value of the options is accrued and charged to operations, with the offset credit to contributed surplus, over the vesting period. If and when the stock options are ultimately exercised, the applicable amounts of contributed surplus are transferred to capital stock. The Company does not incorporate an estimated forfeiture rate for options that will not vest but rather accounts for actual forfeitures as they occur.
     
 
(j)
Equipment
     
   
Amortization of computer equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis over three years.
     
   
Additions during the year are amortized at the annual rates.
     
 
(k)
Revenue recognition
     
   
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.  Interest income is accrued on a time-apportioned basis by reference to the carrying value using the effective interest method.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
   
 
(l)
Financial instruments
     
   
All financial instruments are classified as one of the following: held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, held-for-trading, available-for-sale or other financial liabilities.  Financial assets and liabilities held-for-trading are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in net income (loss).  Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported in shareholders’ equity.  Any financial instrument may be designated as held-for-trading upon initial recognition.
     
   
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial instruments that are classified as other than held-for-trading, which are expensed as incurred, are included in the initial carrying value.
     
   
Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from sources other than the Company’s shareholders.  Other comprehensive income or loss refers to items recognized in comprehensive income or loss that are excluded from net income or loss calculated in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
     
 
(m)
Accounting changes
     
   
Effective August 1, 2008, the Company adopted, prospectively, the following new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) under the following Handbook guidelines.
     
   
(i)
Going Concern
       
     
The CICA amended Section 1400, “General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation”, which requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.  When management is aware of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt on an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, those uncertainties must be disclosed.  In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the standard requires management to consider all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the balance sheet date.  The adoption did not have an impact on the financial statements for any of the periods presented.
       
   
(ii)
Capital Disclosures
       
     
The CICA issued Section 1535, “Capital Disclosures”, which requires the disclosure of both qualitative and quantitative information that provides users of financial statements with information to evaluate the entity’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing capital. This information is disclosed in note 5.  The adoption of this section has made no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Financial Instruments
       
     
Sections 3862 and 3863 replaced Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”, revising its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward its presentation requirements.  These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.
       
     
Section 3862 specifies disclosures that enable users to evaluate: (i) the significance of financial instruments for the entity’s financial position and performance; and (ii) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed and how the entity manages those risks.
       
     
As a result of the adoption of these standards, additional disclosure on the risks of certain financial instruments has been included in note 4.
     
 
(n)
Future accounting change
     
   
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
     
   
In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies.  The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period.  In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP.  The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to the Company’s fiscal years beginning on or after August 1, 2011.  The effective date of August 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ending July 31, 2011.  While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
   
 
The Company classifies its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading; accounts receivable, due from related party and share subscriptions receivable as loans and receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties as other financial liabilities.
   
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due from related party, share subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the expected maturity of these financial instruments.

4.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
   
 
The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
     
 
(a)
Credit risk
     
   
The Company manages credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents by purchasing highly liquid, short-term investment-grade securities held at a major Canadian financial institution in accordance with the Company’s investment policy.  Current year’s accounts receivable consists of no financial instruments so the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.
     
   
Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash as the majority of amounts are held at a single major Canadian financial institution.  The Company’s concentration of credit risk and maximum exposure thereto is as follows:

     
2009
   
2008
 
               
 
Cash
  $ 94,135     $ 107,361  
 
Term deposit
    -       250,000  
                   
      $ 94,135     $ 357,361  

   
The credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with a major Canadian financial institution with strong investment-grade ratings by a primary rating agency.
     
   
Included in due from related party is $nil (2008 - $4,122).  Credit risk has been assessed as low by management as the Company has strong working relationships with the related party involved.  Included in share subscriptions receivable is $10,000 (2008 - $nil) due from a subscriber for a private placement (received subsequent to July 31, 2009).
     
 
(b)
Liquidity risk
     
   
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in obtaining funds to meet commitments.  The Company manages it liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.  The Company normally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet the Company’s business requirements.  However, at July 31, 2009 the cash balance of $94,135 is insufficient to meet the Company’s general administrative, property and exploration requirements for the coming year.  Therefore, the Company will likely be required to raise additional capital or sell one or more mineral properties in order to fund its operations in 2010.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
   
 
(c)
Market risk
     
   
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.  Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.
     
   
(i)
Interest rate risk
       
     
The Company’s cash and term-deposits consists of cash held in bank accounts and GIC (2008) that earn interest at a rate equal to the stated bank prime lending rate less 2.3% and maturity date of February 26, 2009.  These were redeemed during the year and, therefore, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.
       
   
(ii)
Foreign currency risk
       
     
The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk
       
   
(iii)
Other price risk
       
     
Other price risk is the risk that the fair or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk.  The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.
   
5.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
   
 
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on the funds available to the Company in order to support future business opportunities.  The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity.  The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
   
 
The Company currently has no source of revenue.  In order to carry future projects and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and need to raise additional funds as needed.  Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.  The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
   
 
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
   
6.
EQUIPMENT
   
 
Equipment consists of the following:

     
2009
   
2008
 
               
 
Computer equipment
  $ 3,462     $ 1,223  
 
Less: Accumulated amortization
    1,257       476  
                   
      $ 2,205     $ 747

On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a formal option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in 26 registered mineral claims option in the Gaspe region of Quebec (collectively, the “Lac des Pics Claims”) for a price of $75,000 cash plus 750,000 common shares of the Company and a 2% net smelter royalty (of which 1.5% can be purchased for $2,000,000 within 120 days of the completion of a bankable feasibility study). The cash and share consideration is payable as follows:
   
 
(a)
$25,000 (paid) and 150,000 common shares (issued) upon signing the formal agreement;
 
(b)
$25,000 (paid) and 250,000 common shares (issued) one year after signing the formal agreement; and
 
(c)
$25,000 (paid) and 350,000 common shares (issued) two years after signing the formal agreement.

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS (Continued)
   
 
Under the agreement, the Company is also obligated to conduct exploration work with expenditures of at least $750,000 on the properties as follows:
   
 
(a)
$150,000 (incurred) in the first year after the later of the date of entering the agreement and the date a technical report on the properties is issued by an independent geologist;
 
(b)
$250,000 (incurred) in the second year after the later of the date of entering the agreement and the date a technical report on the properties is issued by an independent geologist; and
 
(c)
$350,000 in the third year after the later of the date of entering the agreement and the date a technical report on the properties is issued by an independent geologist.
   
 
The optionor retains a right to regain the Lac des Pics Claims if the Company fails to carry out the exploration obligations.
   
 
As a finder’s fee to the consultant that facilitated the acquisition of the mineral property interests, the Company has issued 150,000 common shares valued at $7,500.
   
 
During the year ended July 31, 2009, the seller of the original 26 claims staked an additional 58 claims surrounding the original 26 claims, on behalf of the Company. The parties have agreed the new claims are covered by the original agreement and therefore the 2% net smelter royalty applies to the new claims and expenditures on the new claims are included as expenditures toward the exploration obligation under the original option agreement.
   
 
As at July 31, 2009, the Company has paid $75,000, and has issued 150,000 common shares valued at $0.05 per share, 250,000 common shares valued at $0.15 per share and 350,000 common shares valued at $0.10 per share consideration under the agreement.
   
 
Mineral exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks.  While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore.
   
 
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral property interests and, to the best of its knowledge titles to all of its properties are in good standing.
   
 
Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing.  The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions.  If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral property interests, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest.  The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
   
 
The Company’s rolling stock option plan (the “Plan”) allows the Company to award stock options not exceeding 10% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of granting the options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants.  The Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors, which has discretion as to the awards and terms of the options to be issued. Upon exercise of options, shares are issued from treasury.
   
 
There were 60,000 stock options granted on June 1, 2007 under the Plan with an exercise price of $0.15 per share to two directors of the Company as consideration for past services rendered, expiring June 1, 2012.  These options vested immediately.
   
 
There were 150,048 stock options granted on June 1, 2007 under the Plan with an exercise price of $0.15 per share to four directors of the Company and one consultant, expiring June 1, 2012. These options vested in equal monthly proportions over 12 months from the grant date.
   
 
There were 360,000 stock options granted on June 1, 2007 under the Plan with an exercise price of $0.15 per share to the directors of the Company, expiring June 1, 2012. These options vest in equal monthly proportions over 24 months from the grant date.
   
 
As of July 31, 2009, 570,048 (2008 - 420,048) stock options had vested and are exercisable.  The fair value of stock options vested during the year ended July 31, 2009 was $17,181 (2008 -$34,940) of which $17,181 (2008 - $32,077) was classified as management and directors’ fees, and $nil (2008 - $2,863) was capitalized to mineral property interests.
   
 
There were no options granted during 2009 and 2008.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
   
 
The Company is involved in a dispute over an invoice for exploration work performed during the 2008 calendar year by a company engaged for project management and geological consulting services on the Lac des Pics project (note 11(c)). The invoice in question is in excess of the amount agreed to and approved by the Company. The Company contends that the invoice amount is approximately $131,000 in excess of the agreed amount and, therefore, the Company is not liable for the excess. The Company has offered to settle the dispute for a payment of $25,000 plus 100,000 shares of the Company valued at $10,000, but the offer was declined and has since been withdrawn by the Company. The Company has accrued $35,000 in liabilities in respect of this matter.  The balance represents management’s estimate of the settlement amount at this time; however, as the actual amount may differ, the difference will be recorded during the period in which settlement occurs and, accordingly, may affect the Company’s future results of operating and cash flows.

FIRST SOURCE RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Three and Six Month Periods Ended January 31, 2010 and 2009
 


1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
       
 
First Source Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on October 20, 2005. The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties. The investment in and expenditures on mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets.  Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal.
       
2.
GOING CONCERN
       
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company being able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due and to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, the attainment of profitable mining operations or the receipt of proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
       
 
The Company reported net losses of $40,502 for the three months ended January 31, 2010 and $43,394 for the three months ended January 31, 2009, and has an accumulated deficit of $511,351 as at January 31, 20010 (2009  - $311,517).  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company being able to raise equity financing and the attainment of profitable operations.  The Company had working capital of $34,334 at January 31, 2010 (July 31, 2009 - $122,267).
       
 
The business of mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that current exploration projects will result in future profitable mining operations. The Company has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead, pay its debts and liabilities, and maintain its mineral property interests. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property interests is dependent on several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral properties. The carrying value of the Company’s mineral property interests does not reflect current or future values.
       
 
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate because management believes actions already taken or planned will mitigate the adverse conditions and events that raise doubts about the validity of the going concern assumption used in preparing these financial statements.
       
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
       
 
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of Canadian generally accepted accounting policies (“GAAP”).  The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
       
 
(a)
Cash and cash equivalents
       
   
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand and deposits, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and purchased with original maturities of one year or less.
       
 
(b)
Tax credits receivable
       
   
The Company accrues provincial resource tax credits and mining duties credits based on management’s best estimate of the tax credits according to its interpretation of current tax legislation.  Such claims are subject to review by taxation authorities and, therefore, the amount ultimately received could be materially different than the amount recorded.  Tax credits are recorded using the cost reduction method and are included as a reduction of mineral property interests.
       
 
(c)
Mineral property interests
       
   
The Company capitalizes all costs related to investments in mineral property interests on a property-by-property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries.  Costs are capitalized until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral property interests are either developed or the Company's mineral rights are allowed to lapse.
       
   
All capitalized mineral property expenditures are reviewed annually, on a property-by-property basis, to consider whether there are any conditions that may indicate impairment. When the carrying value of a property interest exceeds its net recoverable amount that may be estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve, joint venture expenditure commitments or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount exceeding the capitalized costs, provision is made for the impairment in value.
       
   
From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. As the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.
       
 
(d)
Impairment of long-lived assets
       
   
Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually or when changes in circumstances suggest their carrying value has become impaired.  Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.  Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
       
 
(e)
Use of estimates
       
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of tax credits receivable, rates of amortization for equipment, environmental obligations, asset retirement obligations (“ARO”), the impairment in value of mineral property interests, accrued liabilities, contingent liabilities, valuation allowance for future tax assets and the variables used in the calculation of stock-based compensation.  While management believes the estimates used are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
       
 
(f)
Asset retirement obligation
       
   
The Company recognizes estimates of the liability associated with an ARO in the financial statements at the time the liability is incurred.  The estimated fair value of the ARO is recorded as a long-term liability, with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset.  The capitalized amount is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the life of the proved reserves.  The liability amount is increased each reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion is charged to operations in the period.  The ARO can also increase or decrease due to changes in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated undiscounted cost.  Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the ARO are charged against the ARO to the extent of the liability recorded.  Amounts are recorded once they become known or can be readily estimated.  At present, the Company has determined that it has no material AROs.
       
 
(g)
Income taxes
       
   
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and losses carried forward.  Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period in which the change is enacted or substantially assured.  The amount of future income tax assets is limited to the amount of the benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
       
 
(h)
Basic and diluted loss per share
       
   
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.
       
   
Shares held in escrow, other than where their release is subject to the passage of time, are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
       
 
(i)
Stock-based compensation
       
   
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using a fair value based method with respect to all stock-based payments to directors, employees and non-employees. For directors and employees, the fair value of the options is measured at the date of grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete or the date the performance commitment is reached or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. For directors, employees and non-employees, the fair value of the options is accrued and charged to operations, with the offset credit to contributed surplus, over the vesting period. If and when the stock options are ultimately exercised, the applicable amounts of contributed surplus are transferred to capital stock. The Company does not incorporate an estimated forfeiture rate for options that will not vest but rather accounts for actual forfeitures as they occur.
       
 
(j)
Equipment
       
   
Amortization of computer equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis over three years.

(l)
Financial instruments
       
   
All financial instruments are classified as one of the following: held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, held-for-trading, available-for-sale or other financial liabilities.  Financial assets and liabilities held-for-trading are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in net income (loss).  Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported in shareholders’ equity.  Any financial instrument may be designated as held-for-trading upon initial recognition.
       
   
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial instruments that are classified as other than held-for-trading, which are expensed as incurred, are included in the initial carrying value.
       
   
Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from sources other than the Company’s shareholders.  Other comprehensive income or loss refers to items recognized in comprehensive income or loss that are excluded from net income or loss calculated in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
       
 
(m)
Accounting changes
       
   
Effective August 1, 2008, the Company adopted, prospectively, the following new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) under the following Handbook guidelines.
       
   
(i)
Going Concern
       
     
The CICA amended Section 1400, “General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation”, which requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.  When management is aware of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt on an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, those uncertainties must be disclosed.  In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the standard requires management to consider all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the balance sheet date.  The adoption did not have an impact on the financial statements for any of the periods presented.
       
   
(ii)
Capital Disclosures
       
     
The CICA issued Section 1535, “Capital Disclosures”, which requires the disclosure of both qualitative and quantitative information that provides users of financial statements with information to evaluate the entity’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing capital. This information is disclosed in note 5.  The adoption of this section has made no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(iii)
Financial Instruments
       
     
Sections 3862 and 3863 replaced Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”, revising its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward its presentation requirements.  These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.
       
     
Section 3862 specifies disclosures that enable users to evaluate: (i) the significance of financial instruments for the entity’s financial position and performance; and (ii) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed and how the entity manages those risks.
       
     
As a result of the adoption of these standards, additional disclosure on the risks of certain financial instruments has been included in note 4.
       
 
(n)
Future accounting change
       
   
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
       
   
In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies.  The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period.  In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP.  The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to the Company’s fiscal years beginning on or after August 1, 2011.  The effective date of August 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ending July 31, 2011.  While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
       
 
The Company classifies its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading; accounts receivable, due from related party and share subscriptions receivable as loans and receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties as other financial liabilities.
       
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due from related party, share subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the expected maturity of these financial instruments.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
       
 
The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
       
 
(a)
Credit risk
       
   
The Company manages credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents by purchasing highly liquid, short-term investment-grade securities held at a major Canadian financial institution in accordance with the Company’s investment policy.  Current year’s accounts receivable consists of no financial instruments so the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.
       
   
Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash as the majority of amounts are held at a single major Canadian financial institution.  The Company’s concentration of credit risk and maximum exposure thereto is as follows:

     
January 31,
2010
   
July 31,
2009
 
               
               
 
Cash
  $ 8,571     $ 94,135  

   
The credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with a major Canadian financial institution with strong investment-grade ratings by a primary rating agency.
     
   
Included in due from related party is $21 (July 31, 2009 - $nil).  Credit risk has been assessed as low by management as the Company has strong working relationships with the related party involved.  Included in share subscriptions receivable is $nil (July 31, 2009 - $10,000) due from a subscriber for a private placement (received in September, 2009).
     
 
(b)
Liquidity risk
     
   
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in obtaining funds to meet commitments.  The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.  The Company normally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet the Company’s business requirements.  However, at January 31, 2010 the cash balance of $8,571 is insufficient to meet the Company’s general administrative, property and exploration requirements for the coming year.  Therefore, the Company will likely be required to raise additional capital or sell one or more mineral properties in order to fund its operations in 2010.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
       
 
(c)
Market risk
       
   
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.  Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.
       
   
(i)
Interest rate risk
       
     
The Company’s cash consists of cash held in a bank account that earns no interest. Therefore, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.
       
   
(ii)
Foreign currency risk
       
     
The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk
 
     
   
(iii)
Other price risk
       
     
Other price risk is the risk that the fair or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk.  The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.
       
5.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
       
 
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on the funds available to the Company in order to support future business opportunities.  The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity.  The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
       
 
The Company currently has no source of revenue.  In order to carry future projects and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and need to raise additional funds as needed.  Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.  The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
       
 
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

EQUIPMENT
       
 
Equipment consists of the following:

On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a formal option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in 26 registered mineral claims option in the Gaspe region of Quebec (collectively, the “Lac des Pics Claims”) for a price of $75,000 cash plus 750,000 common shares of the Company and a 2% net smelter royalty (of which 1.5% can be purchased for $2,000,000 within 120 days of the completion of a bankable feasibility study). The cash and share consideration is payable as follows:
       
 
(a)
$25,000 (paid) and 150,000 common shares (issued) upon signing the formal agreement;
 
(b)
$25,000 (paid) and 250,000 common shares (issued) one year after signing the formal agreement; and
 
(c)
$25,000 (paid) and 350,000 common shares (issued) two years after signing the formal agreement.

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS (Continued)
   
 
Under the agreement, the Company is also obligated to conduct exploration work with expenditures of at least $750,000 on the properties as follows:
   
 
(a)
$150,000 (incurred) in the first year after the later of the date of entering the agreement and the date a technical report on the properties is issued by an independent geologist;
 
(b)
$250,000 (incurred) in the second year after the later of the date of entering the agreement and the date a technical report on the properties is issued by an independent geologist; and
 
(c)
$350,000 in the third year after the later of the date of entering the agreement and the date a technical report on the properties is issued by an independent geologist.
       
 
The optionor retains a right to regain the Lac des Pics Claims if the Company fails to carry out the exploration obligations.
       
 
As a finder’s fee to the consultant that facilitated the acquisition of the mineral property interests, the Company has issued 150,000 common shares valued at $7,500.
       
 
During the year ended July 31, 2009, the seller of the original 26 claims staked an additional 58 claims surrounding the original 26 claims, on behalf of the Company. The parties have agreed the new claims are covered by the original agreement and therefore the 2% net smelter royalty applies to the new claims and expenditures on the new claims are included as expenditures toward the exploration obligation under the original option agreement.
       
 
As at January 31, 2010, the Company has paid $75,000, and has issued 150,000 common shares valued at $0.05 per share, 250,000 common shares valued at $0.15 per share and 350,000 common shares valued at $0.10 per share consideration under the agreement.
       
 
Mineral exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks.  While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore.
       
 
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral property interests and, to the best of its knowledge titles to all of its properties are in good standing.
       
 
Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing.  The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions.  If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral property interests, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest.  The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     
 
The Company’s rolling stock option plan (the “Plan”) allows the Company to award stock options not exceeding 10% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of granting the options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants.  The Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors, which has discretion as to the awards and terms of the options to be issued. Upon exercise of options, shares are issued from treasury.
     
 
There were 60,000 stock options granted on June 1, 2007 under the Plan with an exercise price of $0.15 per share to two directors of the Company as consideration for past services rendered, expiring June 1, 2012.  These options vested immediately.
     
 
There were 150,048 stock options granted on June 1, 2007 under the Plan with an exercise price of $0.15 per share to four directors of the Company and one consultant, expiring June 1, 2012. These options vested in equal monthly proportions over 12 months from the grant date.
     
 
There were 360,000 stock options granted on June 1, 2007 under the Plan with an exercise price of $0.15 per share to the directors of the Company, expiring June 1, 2012. These options vest in equal monthly proportions over 24 months from the grant date.
     
 
In the three months ended October 31, 2009, 60,000 options granted to a director in 2007 were forfeit upon the passing of 90 days since resignation of that director. As of January 31, 2010, 510,048 (July 31, 2009 - 570,048) stock options had vested and are exercisable.  The fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended January 31, 2010 was $nil (2009 -$5,155).
     
 
There were no options granted during 2009 and 2008.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
     
 
The Company is involved in a dispute over an invoice for exploration work performed during the 2008 calendar year by a company engaged for project management and geological consulting services on the Lac des Pics project (note 11(c)). The invoice in question is in excess of the amount agreed to and approved by the Company. The Company contends that the invoice amount is approximately $131,000 in excess of the agreed amount and, therefore, the Company is not liable for the excess. The Company has offered to settle the dispute for a payment of $25,000 plus 100,000 shares of the Company valued at $10,000, but the offer was declined and has since been withdrawn by the Company. The Company has accrued $35,000 in liabilities in respect of this matter.  The balance represents management’s estimate of the settlement amount at this time; however, as the actual amount may differ, the difference will be recorded during the period in which settlement occurs and, accordingly, may affect the Company’s future results of operating and cash flows.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
     
 
The Company entered into a letter agreement dated February 26, 2010 (the “Agreement”) with CB Gold Inc., a privately-held British Columbia company (“CB Gold”), containing the principal terms of a proposed business combination between First Source and CB Gold (the “Transaction”).
   
 
The Transaction must still be consummated following a mutual due diligence period. The closing of the Transaction, as contemplated by the Agreement, is subject to a number of conditions, including the execution of a definitive agreement after a mutual due diligence period, the approval of the shareholders of First Source and CB Gold, the approval of all relevant regulatory authorities, including the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), and the listing of the common shares of New CB Gold on the TSXV. The Agreement provides for the right of each of First Source and CB Gold to terminate the Agreement and not complete the Transaction in certain circumstances, including in the event the Transaction is not completed by July 31, 2010.
     
     
 
Under the terms of the Transaction, First Source’s outstanding common shares will be consolidated on a 3.5 to 1 basis and, subject to any adjustments, shareholders of CB Gold will receive 1.0476 common shares of the Company (post-consolidation) for each one CB Gold common share (the “Exchange Ratio”).  As part of the Transaction, following such share exchange, First Source and CB Gold will amalgamate under the name CB Gold Inc. (“New CB Gold”).
 
   
 
At the closing of the Transaction, existing CB Gold shareholders and First Source shareholders will own, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 95% and 5% of the outstanding common shares of New CB Gold, respectively. The Transaction will constitute a reverse take-over of First Source by CB Gold within the meaning of the policies of the TSXV.
     
 
The Transaction is based on a value of $0.55 per common share of CB Gold, and the Exchange Ratio implies a per-share value of the common shares of First Source of $0.15 on a pre-consolidation basis.  This represents a premium of 114% to the closing price of First Source’s shares on the TSXV on February 25, 2010.
     
 
CB Gold intends to raise up to $5,000,000 in a non-brokered private placement at a price of $0.50 per share which is expected to close on or about March 19, 2010.  The Exchange Ratio will be amended to reflect the effect of this financing in the definitive agreement incorporating the terms of the Letter Agreement.
     
 
The Agreement also requires the Company arrange to have its existing Lac des Pics mineral property interests divested by the completion of the Transaction.  CB Gold will also require that new owners of the property accept any property liabilities, including environmental liabilities from the past three years exploration conducted by the Company.  The Company believes the property has potential, warranting continued exploration and is still considering options in this regard.
 
   
 
If the Transaction is not completed (if either party withdraws before a definitive agreement is executed, or if one of the required approvals is no obtained), activities over the ensuing year are anticipated to focus on the Lac des Pics property.

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(all information as at December 30, 2009 unless otherwise stated)

The Company is providing this information circular and a form of proxy in connection with management’s solicitation of proxies for use at the annual general and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Company to be held on Thursday, January 28, 2010 and at any adjournments.  The Company will conduct its solicitation by mail and officers and employees of the Company may, without receiving special compensation, also telephone or make other personal contact.  The Company will pay the cost of solicitation.
 
APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER
 
The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a shareholder’s behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the shareholder in the proxy.  The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of the Company (the “Management Proxyholders”).
 
A shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder to represent the shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person’s name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form.  A proxyholder need not be a shareholder.
 
VOTING BY PROXY
 
Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.  Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or be withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.
 
If a shareholder does not specify a choice and the shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote in favour of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and in favour of all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.
 
The enclosed form of proxy also gives discretionary authority to the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.  At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.
 

 
 

 
- 2 -

COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY
 
Completed forms of proxy must be deposited at the office of the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., 4th floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9, not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies deposited subsequently.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS
 
Only shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of shares or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.  Many shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names but instead registered in the name of a nominee such as a brokerage firm through which they purchased the shares; bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESP’s and similar plans; or clearing agency such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (a “Nominee”).  If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely an unregistered holder.

In accordance with securities regulatory policy, the Company has distributed copies of the Meeting materials, being the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy, to the Nominees for distribution to non-registered holders.

Nominees are required to forward the Meeting materials to non-registered holders to seek their voting instructions in advance of the Meeting.  Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the non-registered holder.  The Nominees often have their own form of proxy, mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions. If you wish to vote by proxy, you should carefully follow the instructions from the Nominee in order that your Shares are voted at the Meeting.

If you, as a non-registered holder, wish to vote at the Meeting in person, you should appoint yourself as proxyholder by writing your name in the space provided on the request for voting instructions or proxy provided by the Nominee and return the form to the Nominee in the envelope provided.  Do not complete the voting section of the form as your vote will be taken at the Meeting.
 
In addition, Canadian securities legislation now permits the Company to forward meeting materials directly to “non objecting beneficial owners”.  If the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you (instead of through a Nominee), your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Nominee holding on your behalf.  By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Nominee holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions.


REVOCABILITY OF PROXY
 
Any registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised.  In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered shareholder, his attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, a corporation under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, may revoke a proxy by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date.  The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting.  Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy.  Non-Registered Holders
 

 
 

 
- 3 -

who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their Nominees to revoke the proxy on their behalf.
 
VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value.  As at the date hereof, there are issued and outstanding 10,230,955 fully paid and non-assessable common shares without par value, each share carrying the right to one vote.  The Company has no other classes of voting securities.

Persons who are registered shareholders at the close of business on December 24, 2009 will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting and will be entitled to one vote for each share held.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s policy regarding compensation of the executive officers of the Company is to provide reasonable salary levels and compensation incentives that support the short-term, mid-term and long-term goals of the Company and attract and retain suitable and qualified executive management.

The board of directors of the Company has not formed a compensation committee.  Rather, compensation matters regarding the Company’s directors and management are considered, discussed and determined by the full board. without reference to formal objectives, criteria and analysis.  Interested directors abstain from voting with respect to compensation matters that they have an interest in.

In 2009, management was compensated by salaries or fees which were set by the board.  Members of management had also received stock options in previous years.  Remuneration levels were determined by taking into account each executive’s experience level and qualifications, the scope and complexity of the position held, and salaries being paid for similar positions at other Canadian companies of similar size to the Company.  To enable the Company to preserve cash, management agreed to defer payment of most of the remuneration beginning in January 2009.  Peter Smith, the Company’s President, CEO and Chairman, accrued a salary of $60,000 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, but has received only $25,000 of this amount to date; Douglas Smith (no relation to Peter Smith), the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, accrued fees of $18,000 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, but has received only $11,000 of this amount to date; and Michael Raven, the Company’s Corporate Secretary, accrued fees of $24,000 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, but has received only $14,145 to date.

Options are issued under the Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan, which is described below under “Incentive Awards – Description of 2007 Stock Option Plan”.  As of the date of this Information Circular, 510,048 options are issued and outstanding under the Plan.

 
 

 
- 4 -

The number of options to be granted under the Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan to the Company’s executive officers (as well as other directors, employees and consultants of the Company) is determined by considering the number of options available in the Company’s option pool, the position, qualifications and contributions to the Company’s success of each option recipient, previous grants (if any) of option-based awards, and option grants made by other Canadian companies of similar size to the Company.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth all annual and long term compensation for services in all capacities to the Company for the three most recently completed financial years in respect of each of the individuals comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer as at July 31, 2009 and any other executive officers of the Company as at July 31, 2009 whose individual total salary and bonus for the most recently completed financial year exceeded $150,000 and any individual who would have satisfied these criteria but for the fact that individual was not serving as such an officer at the end of the most recently completed financial year (collectively the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”).

During the year ended July 31, 2007, Wayne Lockhart, the Company’s Chief Geologist and a director of the Company, became a related party, through his company Lockhart Exploration, to the following agreements (each of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and is incorporated herein by reference):  Letter of Intent between the Company, ASPM Inc., and Lockhart Exploration dated February 27, 2007; Formal Agreement between the Company and ASPM Inc., dated March 8, 2007; and Exploration Services Agreement between the Company and Lockhart Exploration, dated June 20, 2007.  As Wayne Lockhart became a director and officer of the Company on March 10, 2007, he was not a director or officer of the Company when the first two agreements (the Letter of Intent and the Formal Agreement) were entered into.  The effect of these first two contracts is to obligate the Company to use Mr. Lockhart’s exploration company, Lockhart Exploration, for exploration work conducted on the Company’s Lac Des Pics Property covered by the agreements (so long as Lockhart Exploration is able to complete such work at fair market rates within a reasonable timeframe).  The third agreement, the Exploration Services Agreement, details how Phase I of the exploration program on the Property is to be carried out by Lockhart Exploration on behalf of the Company.  Mr. Lockhart abstained from discussion and voting on the issue of whether the Company should resolve to enter into the Exploration Services Agreement.  Mr. Lockhart directly benefits from all three of the above agreements in that they allow him to influence which geologists, contractors and other services are used in connection with the exploration program.  Further, Mr. Lockhart may also provide his services as a geologist, and may pay himself a fee in relationship to such services, as well as one or more management fees, from Lockhart Exploration.  As at July 31, 2009, the Company had paid or owed to Lockhart Exploration $55,997 since the beginning of the project for management and consulting services.  There is currently a disagreement between Lockhart Exploration and the Company in relation to invoicing for the 2008 exploration season.  Lockhart Exploration has invoiced the Company, in an invoice dated December 5, 2008 and received by the Company on January 5, 2009, for an amount that was $131,000 over the board-approved budget. Negotiations between Lockhart Exploration and the Company are ongoing, but it does not appear the two sides are, as yet, very close to working out a compromise.  As such, until the situation has been resolved, the Company does not plan on using Lockhart Exploration to manage ongoing exploration conducted by the Company at Lac des Pics.  Lockhart Exploration was not used for any of the Company’s exploration work during the 2009 season.
     
 
·
The Company shares office space and administrative services with another company, Terra Firma Resources Inc., of which the Company’s President, Peter Smith, is also a director.
     
 
·
The Company has engaged the services of Doug Smith (no relation to Peter Smith), a director and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, for accounting services.  During the financial year ended July 31, 2009, the Company incurred a total of $18,000 in respect of those services, $11,000 of which has been paid and $7,000 has been deferred by Mr. Smith to enable the Company to preserve cash.
     
 
·
The Company has engaged the services of Michael Raven, a director and the Company’s Corporate Secretary, for legal services.  During the financial year ended July 31, 2009, the Company incurred a total of $24,000 in respect of those services, $14,145 of which has been paid and $9,855 has been deferred by Mr. Raven to enable the Company to preserve cash.
 
Each of the documents identified above as being incorporated herein by reference is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and, upon request, the Company will promptly provide a copy of such document free of charge to a securityholder of the Company.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR OFFICERS

During the last completed fiscal year, no director, executive officer, senior officer or nominee for director of the Company or any of their associates has been indebted to the Company, nor has any of these individuals been indebted to another entity which indebtedness is the subject of a guarantee, support in agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Company.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices requires each reporting issuer to disclose its corporate governance practices on an annual basis. The Company’s approach to corporate governance is set forth below.

Board of Directors

The Company’s board, which is responsible for supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company, is comprised of Tom Lamb, Wayne Lockhart, Michael Raven, Doug Smith and Peter Smith.  Howard Lahti was also a director of the Company until May 29, 2009, when he tendered his resignation.  Michael Raven (Corporate Secretary), Doug Smith (Chief Financial Officer) and Peter Smith (President) are officers of the Company.  Wayne Lockhart was previously the Chief Geologist of the Company, but is no longer an officer of the Company.  Tom Lamb is “independent” as defined in NI 58-101.  Each of the current directors other than Wayne Lockhart will be seeking re-election.

The mandate of the board is to supervise the management of the Company and to act in the best interests of the Company. The board approves all significant decisions that affect the Company before they are implemented. The board generally meets on a quarterly basis and special meetings are held at the call of the Chairman or upon the request of two board members.

In addition to their positions on the board, the current and proposed directors of the Company also serve as directors of the following reporting issuers or reporting issuer equivalent(s):

Name of Director
Reporting Issuer(s) or Equivalent(s)
Tom Lamb
None
Wayne Lockhart
None
Michael Raven
None
Doug Smith
None
Peter Smith
Terra Firma Resources Inc.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Upon request, the board provides directors with information regarding topics of general interest, such as fiduciary duties and continuous disclosure obligations.  The board also ensures that each director is presented with current information regarding the business of the Company, and the role the director is expected to fulfill.  Board members are also given access to management and other employees for informational purposes.

Ethical Business Conduct

Directors, officers and employees are required as a function of their position within the Company to structure their activities and interests to avoid conflicts and potential conflicts of interest and refrain from

 
 

 
- 11 -

making personal profits from their positions.  The board does not consider it necessary at this time to have a written policy regarding ethical conduct.

Nomination of Directors

The board as a whole is responsible for reviewing the composition of the board on a periodic basis. When vacancies arise, the board will consider the competencies and skills of potential new members, as well as the candidate’s ability to devote sufficient time and resources to his or her duties as a board member.

Compensation

Compensation for members of the board is determined on the recommendation of the board of directors, with the board member to receive the compensation abstaining from such recommendation.

Compensation for the CEO of the Company and other officers is also determined on the recommendation of the board of directors.  In making such recommendation, the individual’s qualifications, experience and the demands of the position are among the factors considered in establishing such compensation.

Board Committees

The board currently has no committees, although it intends to form an audit committee following the Meeting.
 
Assessment

The entire board is responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the board, its members and the audit committee, in consultation with the chair of the board and the chair of the audit committee.
 
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
 
Mandate
 
The primary functions of the audit committee (the “Committee”) are to assist the board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the Company’s financial accounting and reporting, the system of internal controls established by management and the adequacy of internal and independent auditing relative to these activities.  Consistent with this function, the Committee will encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to, the Company’s policies, procedures and practices at all levels.  The Charter of the Committee is attached hereto as Appendix I.
 
Composition

It is expected that each of the members of the Committee shall have a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices, and shall have experience with reviewing and approving public
 
 
 

 
- 12 -

company financial statements, either as part of management or as a member of a public company’s audit committee.

As at the date hereof, there is no Audit Committee, although the board intends to form one following the Meeting.
 
Meetings
 
The Committee shall meet at least once quarterly, or more frequently as circumstances dictate.  As part of its job to foster open communication, the Committee will meet at least annually with the Chief Financial Officer and the external auditors in separate sessions.
 
Audit Committee Oversight
 
At no time since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the board of directors.
 
Reliance on Certain Exemptions
 
At no time since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year has the Company relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of NI 52-110 (De Minimis Non-Audit Services), or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110.
