The Company has adopted a 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) which provides for the granting of options to acquire up to 2,837,000 shares. The Plan provides for the granting of options to employees and service providers, with no single optionee to be granted options in excess of 5% of the number of issued shares of the Company. All options are to be granted at fair value, and the term of the options granted is not to exceed five years. Options to acquire a total of 2,214,000 shares have been granted and are outstanding at September 30, 2006 under the Plan.

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of CICA Handbook Section 3870 “Stock Based Compensation and Other Stock Based Payments” with respect to the fair market value accounting for stock options granted to employees. In prior years, the Company recorded the fair market value of the stock options granted to non-employees only as compensation expense.

During the three months ended September 30, 2006 the Company granted incentive stock options for the purchase of up to 600,000 shares at a price of $0.56 per share exercisable on or before September 21, 2011 to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The fair value of the options to be charged to operations over the eighteen month vesting period is $198,900. The fair value of the options granted was estimated at the date of granting using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.913%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility factor of 54.62%, and an average life of 3 years.

The Black-Scholes valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which are fully transferable and freely traded. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including estimated stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
For the period ended September 30, 2006
Page 1


The following discussion and analysis of the operations, results and financial position of Berkley Resources Inc. (the “Company”) for the period ended September 30, 2006 should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2006 interim financial statements and the related notes. The effective date of this report is November 21, 2006.

Forward Looking Statements

Except for historical information, the Management’s Discussion & Analysis (the “MD&A”) may contain forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, levels of activity performance or achievement to vary from those expressed or implied by these forward looking statements.

Description of Business

The Company’s principal business activities are the acquisition, development, exploration, production and marketing of petroleum and natural gas reserves in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Company also has real estate holdings. The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol BKS and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol W80 and WKN 871666.

Overall Performance

The Company operates in two distinct segments, oil and gas and real estate rental. An overview analysis by segment is as follows:

Oil and Gas

Industry Overview

The oil and gas industry had a very active third quarter 2006 even though the oil prices have dropped from U.S. $70 per barrel at the beginning of the third quarter to approximately U.S. $59 by the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter.  Oil prices currently at U.S. $70.00 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate (WTI), however natural gas prices have stayed around the $7.00/mcf and below for the third quarter 2006 and into the fourth quarter.  There continues to be strong competition for labor, goods and services throughout Industry which has resulted in 20% to 40% increase in drilling and new exploration costs, year-over-year.  This will require that all Operators give added attention to long range planning.

Company Activity

The Company has drilling scheduled for two areas in Alberta during the balance of 2006 and into 2007. Both are high quality prospects, one is natural gas (Crossfield) and the second is a combination of dual zone oil and shallow natural gas (Senex).  The Company recently reported on these two areas as follows:

Senex Area, Alberta (Townships. 92/93, Ranges 6/7 W5M):

Berkley (20% ±) and its operating partner Onefour Energy Ltd. (80% ±) have increased their land holdings in this Area to approximately 61 sections. This increase in land holdings will provide the Company with a very large block on which to develop all three productive formations identified to date. The winter drilling continues very successfully with eleven wells completed as producers or potential producers: three are shallow gas completions; four are completed as pumping oil wells; two are cased as potential oil wells and three are strong flowing oil wells capable of producing up to 500/600 barrels/day but currently being produced at between 200/400 barrels/day.  The one non-producing well drilled on the lands will be used to provide water disposal capabilities for the production facility.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
For the period ended September 30, 2006

The Company and its partner have a nine well follow-up program planned between now and April 2007. The 3D seismic program conducted in January 2005 and extended during the first quarter of 2006, provides strong support for the proposed follow-up drilling program. The original 3D seismic covered approximately 14 sections and another two 3D seismic programs completed in 2006 covered an additional 11 sections.   The Company also plans to finalize another 3D seismic program in the fourth quarter, to increase its knowledge for future targets.

Crossfield West Area, Alberta (Township 28, Range 1 W5M): 

The licensing process of this sour-gas prospect is well underway. The Company (35%) and its partners have negotiated extensions to certain of its freehold leases which will maintain our existing drilling lease block of six sections; major investment has entered the immediate area of the Company’s lease block with an undisclosed party paying over three million dollars for near and adjacent leases at the March 22, 2006 Alberta Crown Sale.  BP Canada paid $532,000 for a one section parcel diagonally offsetting our lands. The highest price paid at the Sale was for a one section lease laterally adjoining our block where a broker paid $770,304 ($3,009/hectare).  The Company and its partners have sufficient holdings to move ahead with our own drilling plans; however negotiations are being pursued with the acquiring parties to extend our acreage position.  

Summary

The Company has made a major commitment to the Senex Area in north-central Alberta. Large reserves of oil have been identified in two Devonian formations and a significant natural gas reserve in shallow lower Cretaceous sand.   All three opportunities are being evaluated and the company has drilled 3 successful wells between August and November, 2006.   As stated above, we have targeted nine more wells to drill in this area by the end of the first quarter 2007. The Company’s working interest in this project is mostly 20%.  Good progress is being made in the licensing process at Crossfield.  The Company now expects to drill this prospect by the end of the second quarter 2007.

Real estate

The office building in downtown Vancouver continues to have near full occupancy, with consistent operating results within a narrow range. In all material aspects the building achieved breakeven on an operating basis.  In order to expand the Company’s oil and gas opportunities there was an addition of a new mortgage on the building in 2005 and subsequent increase in the mortgage in the third quarter of 2006. As a result, the building is currently running at a monthly cash flow deficit of approximately $15,000.  The Company believes that it will be able to pay down this mortgage from future oil and gas revenues.
 
Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2006 (“Q3-2006”) compared with the three months ended September 30, 2005 (“Q3-2005”).

Oil and gas

Oil and gas revenue was $382,094 for Q3-2006 compared to $282,766 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $99,328. The increase in Q3-2006 revenue is primarily due to higher crude oil sales. The production expenses for Q3-2006 were higher at $362,204 compared to $197,922 for 2005 and are a result of increases of $134,485 in operating costs, $23,000 in amortization and depletion charges and $8,837 in interest expense. The interest charges are due to the new Quest Capital Corp. (“Quest”) loan whereby 60% of the loan’s interest is charged to the oil and gas segment. There was a net income of $19,890 for the Q3-2006 compared to a net income of $84,844 reported for the same period in 2005. The demand for labour, services and equipment continues to put upward pressure on prices as is evident with the increase in operating costs.

Real estate

There was a net rental loss of $64,441 for Q3-2006 compared with net rental loss of $22,786 for Q3-2005, a difference of $41,655. Operating costs increased by $3,654 in Q3-2006 due to the timing of some costs between the periods. Otherwise, the operating costs remained fairly consistent. The net rental loss was higher in Q3-2006 by $41,655 because of interest charges associated with the $1.5 million mortgage from IMOR Corp. which was paid out in Q3-2006 and the newly acquired loan of $2.8 million from Quest. In Q3-2005 the interest charges relating to the IMOR loan were based on a lessor amount of $1.0 million. The building had slightly higher occupancy in Q3-2006 than it had in Q2-2005 and the resulting increase in rental revenue was $1,947.

Head office - general and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses totaled $266,164 for Q3-2006 compared with $245,351 for Q3-2005. The increase of $20,813 is due to a combination of cost increases and decreases. Increases of $21,858 in stock based compensation, $10,006 in management fees, $27,725 in consulting fees and $2,788 in filing and transfer agent fees were experienced while there were decreases of $14,104 in administrative, office services and premises expenses, $19,731 in professional fees and $8,096 in shareholder information costs. The increase in management fees is attributed to the addition of an officer part way through the Q3-2005 period whereas Q3-2006 experienced an expense for the full quarter. The increase in consulting fees is because of consulting agreements with unrelated parties to seek out financial opportunities. The administrative, office services and premises expense was higher in Q3-2005 due to a commitment fee on a loan secured at that time. Professional fees were less in Q3-2006 because no legal fees were incurred concerning the filing of the Form 20-F with the Securities Exchange Commission whereas in Q3-2005, the Company incurred fees regarding the 2003 and 2004 Form 20-F. The decrease in shareholder information costs was a result of an investor relations agreement in Q3-2005 that cost $10,000 compared to $nil in Q3-2006.

Loss for the period

Loss for Q3-2006 was $504,034 compared with a loss of $187,373 for Q3-2005, an increase of $316,661. As noted earlier there was the decrease in net oil and gas income combined with significantly higher interest charges in the real estate segment and an increase in stock based compensation under general and administrative costs. The remainder of the increase in loss is due to an other expense item of $196,000 incurred in Q3-2006 but not Q3-2005. This item was a loan advancement bonus that was a result of the Quest financing and was paid out through the issuance of 301,538 common shares of the Company instead of cash.

Nine months ended September 30, 2006 (“YTD-2006”) compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005 (“YTD-2005”).

Oil and gas

In total, there was a net oil and gas income of $44,693 for YTD-2006 compared to $332,729 for YTD-2005, a decrease of $288,036. Revenue was up by $52,540 due to higher production levels but operating costs increased significantly more by $152,139. Overall production expenses were up by $340,576 due primarily to the higher operating costs and an increase of $182,000 in amortization and depletion expense. Interest charges of $8,837 were also incurred in the current period compared to $nil in YTD-2005.

Real estate

The net rental loss for YTD-2006 was $134,223 compared to $46,536 in YTD-2005, an increase of $87,687. While the rental revenue actually increased by $5,991 and operating costs was reduced by $4,315, there was an increase in loan interest charges of $97,993 that caused a higher net rental loss. As discussed in the quarterly comparison above, the increase in loan interest charges was due to the payout of the IMOR Capital Corp. loan and securing of a new loan with Quest for a higher amount. As well, the Company did not start incurring the interest charges until the second quarter of 2005 so YTD-2006 has recorded four more months of interest compared to YTD-2005. In regards to operating costs, the costs are fairly consistent with the primary change being lower repair and maintenance costs in the YTD-2006 period.

Head office - general and administrative expenses

General and administrative costs for YTD-2006 were $904,667 compared to $823,918 for YTD-2005, an increase of 80,749. There were increases of $40,167 in management fees, $120,166 in consulting fees, $4,560 in professional fees and $6,645 in filing and transfer agent fees. The increase in management fees is due to the hiring of a President in the fourth quarter of 2005. The YTD-2006 period incurred full costs in this regard compared to approximately two months worth of costs in YTD-2005. Consulting fees increased as a result of consulting agreements with unrelated parties to seek out and evaluate other financial opportunities, look at corporate strategy and equity market planning and provide a market valuation of the real estate property. The change in professional fees was due to a variety of factors. There were increases in legal services in regards to evaluating new business opportunities and engineering services in regards to the oil and gas reserve report. These cost increases outweighed the decreases in audit fees and general legal services.

There were decreases of $43,635 in administrative, office services and premises, $3,019 in stock based compensation and $45,233 in shareholder information costs. The administrative, office services and premises costs were substantially reduced primarily because there were less financing fees incurred in YTD-2006 compared to YTD-2005. Administrative related costs that increased however were personnel costs, travel expenses and director fees. These cost increases were due to increased costs associated with exploring new business opportunities, new quarterly director’s fees for those directors not earning other forms of compensation from the Company and an increase in support staff. Shareholder information costs decreased as a result of there being no investor relations agreements during YTD-2006 compared to a $5,000 per month agreement during part of YTD-2005. Otherwise, the Company maintained a similar level of company promotion and awareness.

Loss for the period

Loss for the period for YTD-2006 was $1,176,732 compared with 541,002 for YTD-2005, an increase of $635,730. The increase in the loss for the respective periods is due to the reasons discussed above; most notably the higher operating costs and amortization and depletion charges in the oil and gas segment, significantly higher interest charges in the real estate segment, higher management and consulting fees in the general and administrative section and the other expense item of $196,000 concerning the Quest financing arrangement. Despite the higher costs in the oil and gas segment, there continues to be a net oil and gas income as opposed to a net loss. Although the majority of the proceeds from financing activities are used on the oil and gas properties, the portion of interest on the loans of which the real estate provides the security is charged to the real estate segment. Without these interest charges the real estate segment would be in a net rental income position of approximately $18,000 for YTD-2006 and $8,000 for YTD-2005.
