NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Pretium Resources Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on October 22, 2010. The address of the Company’s registered office is 1600 – 570 Granville St., Vancouver, BC, V6C 3P1.

The Company owns the Brucejack and Snowfield Projects (the “Projects”) located in Northwest British Columbia, Canada. The Company is in the process of advancing the Brucejack Project, which has been determined to contain economically recoverable mineral reserves as communicated through our National Instrument 43-101 compliant “Feasibility Study and Technical report for the Brucejack Project” and exploring the Snowfield Project. The Company’s continuing operations and the underlying value and recoverability of the amount shown for the mineral interests are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves and resources, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the Projects, the ability to obtain the necessary permits to mine, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the Projects.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, these Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by IFRS for financial statements for year-end reporting purposes. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its most recent annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to use judgment in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about the future. Estimates and other judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments and estimates that the Company has made in the preparation of the financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

Critical accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d)

Impairment

The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indicators that mineral interests are impaired. External sources of information include changes in the market, and the economic and legal environment in which the Company operates. Internal sources of information include the manner in which mineral interests are being used or are expected to be used. Management has assessed impairment indicators on the Company’s mineral interests and has concluded that no impairment indicators existed as of September 30, 2014.

Mineral recoveries

The incidental proceeds from the sale of gold recovered from activities conducted during the exploration and evaluation stage are offset against the carrying value of the associated mineral interests.

3. MINERAL INTERESTS

The Company’s mineral interests consist of gold/copper/silver exploration and evaluation projects located in northwest British Columbia.

The following are the weighted average assumptions employed to estimate the fair value of options granted for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

		Nine months ended September 30
	2014		2013
Risk-free interest rate	1.37%		1.33%
Expected volatility	68.28%		66.72%
Expected life	5 years		5 years
Expected dividend yield	Nil		Nil

Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility, and expected option life. Changes in these assumptions may have a significant impact on the fair value calculation.

6.	CONTINGENCIES

a) Canadian Class Actions

On October 29, 2013, David Wong, a shareholder of the company, filed a proposed class action against the Company, Robert Quartermain (a director, the President and the CEO of the Company) and Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Ltd. (the “Wong Action”).

A similar proposed class action was filed by Roksana Tahzibi, a shareholder of the Company, on November 1, 2013 (the “Tahzibi Action”). The defendants in the Tahzibi Action are the Company, Mr. Quartermain, Joseph Ovsenek (an officer and director of the Company), Kenneth McNaughton (an officer of the Company), Ian Chang (an officer of the Company) and Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Ltd.

The Wong Action and Tahzibi Action (together, the “Ontario Actions”) were filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

The plaintiffs in the Ontario Actions seek certification of a class action on behalf of a class of persons, wherever they reside, who acquired the Company’s securities. In the Wong Action, the class period is between November 22, 2012 and October 22, 2013. In the Tahzibi Action, the class period is between July 23, 2013 and October 21, 2013.

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

6. CONTINGENCIES (Cont’d)

The plaintiffs in the Ontario Actions allege that certain of the Company’s disclosures contained material misrepresentations or omissions regarding Brucejack, including statements with respect to probable mineral reserves and future gold production at Brucejack. The plaintiffs further allege that until October 22, 2013 the Company failed to disclose alleged reasons provided by Strathcona Mineral Services Ltd. for its resignation as an independent qualified person overseeing the bulk sample program. According to the plaintiffs in the Ontario Actions, these misrepresentations and omissions are actionable under Ontario’s Securities Act, other provincial securities legislation and the common law.

The Wong Action claims $60 million in general damages. The Tahzibi Action claims $250 million in general damages. The plaintiffs in the Ontario Actions have asked for the appointment of a case management judge. There have been no further steps in the Ontario Actions.

The Company believes that the allegations made against it in Ontario Actions are meritless and will vigorously defend them, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of the Ontario Actions.

b) United States Class Actions

Between October 25, 2013 and November 18, 2013, five putative class action complaints were filed in the United States against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, alleging that defendants violated the United States securities laws by misrepresenting or failing to disclose material information concerning the Brucejack Project. All five actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

In January 2014, the Court ordered that these actions be consolidated into a single action, styled In re Pretium Resources Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 13-CV-7552. The Court has appointed as lead plaintiffs in the consolidated action three individuals who are suing on behalf of a putative class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common shares between June 11, 2013 and October 22, 2013.

In March 2014, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint, which the Company moved to dismiss in May 2014. In July 2014, the plaintiffs filed a second consolidated amended class action complaint (“Second Amended Complaint”). The Company moved to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on September 5, 2014 and the plaintiffs filed their Opposition to the Company’s Motion to Dismiss on October 20, 2014. The Company has until November 19, 2014 to reply to the plaintiffs’ Opposition to the Company’s Motion to Dismiss.

The Company believes that the allegations made against it in these actions are meritless and will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such proceedings.
