For the period ended June 30, 2005

1.	Nature of operations
	Taseko Mines Limited ("Taseko" or the "Company") is a public company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. At June 30, 2005, the Company's principal business activities related to the continuing operations of the Gibraltar Copper Mine, and exploration on the Company’s 100% owned Gibraltar-area exploration properties, the Prosperity Gold-Copper Property, and the Harmony Gold Property. The Gibraltar mine and the Prosperity Gold Property are located in south central British Columbia, Canada, near the City of Williams Lake. The Harmony Gold Property is located on Graham Island, Queen Charlotte Islands - Haida Gwaii, British Columbia.
	The recoverability of the amounts shown for the Gibraltar mine and related plant and equipment and supplies inventory is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral resources and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mine. The Company is exploring its Prosperity and Harmony mineral properties and has not yet determined the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
	The Company’s continuing operations are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.
	These financial statements are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has recorded significant losses and operating cash flow deficiencies in each of the last three fiscal years, however, for the first nine months of 2005, the Company had net earnings of approximately $2.4 million. Management recognizes that the Company must continue to maintain profitable operations and/or generate additional financial resources in order to meet liabilities as they come due and to enable it to continue operations. The Company is actively pursuing maximum efficiency of the Company’s operations at the Gibraltar mine and is continuing with its exploration programs. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will obtain sufficient financial resources and/or maintain profitability or positive cash flows, failing which, the Company will be required to curtail operations and exploration activities. These financial statements do not reflect adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.	Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
	These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Taseko, its wholly-owned private company subsidiaries, Gibraltar Mines Ltd. (note 6(a)), 688888 BC Ltd., and Cuisson Lake Mines Ltd., and its interest in Gibraltar Reclamation Trust Limited Partnership (“GRT Partnership”) (note 6(d)). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

3. Significant accounting policies

(a)	Cash and equivalents
	Cash and equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments, having maturity dates of three months or less from the date of acquisition, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
	As disclosed in note 6(a), $5 million is held in a restricted product revenue account as a reserve for working capital to fund operating and administrative costs.
(b)	Revenue recognition
	Revenue from copper in concentrate sales is recorded when the title is transferred to the customer. At that time copper concentrate sales are provisionally priced equal to the average price of copper over the previous month. Revenue is subject to adjustment upon final settlement of shipment weights, assays and actual realized copper prices.
	For copper in concentrate sales, whereby a fixed copper price has not been set, revenue from period to period is adjusted to the lower of the provisional price and the quoted copper market price on the London Metals Exchange based on five months from the date of the transfer of concentrate title to the customer. Upon fixing the copper price the sales revenue price adjustment is finalized.
	Sales of silver, as a byproduct, are credited to operating costs on the same time frames as copper concentrate and priced five months after transfer of title.
	Sales of molybdenum, as a byproduct, are credited to operating costs on the date of transfer of title and priced at the average price of the ensuing month.
(c)	Inventory
	Copper concentrate inventory is reported at the lower of (i) cost, (ii) budgeted cost and (iii) net realizable value, and excludes molybdenum byproduct credits. Molybdenum inventory is costed at zero.
	Supplies inventory is reported at the lower of average cost and net realizable value.
(d)	Property, plant and equipment
	Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Mining and milling assets are amortized using the units of production method based on estimated tons mined and milled

(Unaudited)
 

	respectively. Amortization for all other assets is calculated using the declining balance method at rates ranging from 10% to 50% per annum.
(e)	Mineral property interests
	The Company capitalizes mineral property acquisition costs on a property-by-property basis. Exploration expenditures and option payments incurred prior to the determination of the feasibility of mining operations are charged to operations as incurred. Development expenditures incurred subsequent to such determination, to increase production, or to extend the life of existing production are capitalized, except as noted below. Such acquisition costs and deferred development expenditures are amortized over the estimated life of the property, or written off to operations if the property is abandoned, allowed to lapse, or if there is little prospect of further work being carried out by the Company or its option or joint venture partners.
	All costs incurred by the Company during the standby care and maintenance period and restart at the Gibraltar mine were expensed as incurred.
	Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair market value of common shares, based on the trading price of the shares at the agreement date, issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement. Payments relating to a property acquired under an option or joint venture agreement, where such payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts upon payment.
	Costs related to feasibility work and the development of processing technology are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of the feasibility of the processing technology will be capitalized and amortized over the life of the related plant.
	Administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred.
	The amount presented for mineral property interests represents costs incurred to date and the accumulated fair value of shares issued to date relating to acquisition costs, less write-downs, but does not necessarily reflect present or future values.
(f)	Site closure and reclamation costs
	Minimum standards for site closure and mine reclamation have been established by various governmental agencies that affect certain operations of the Company. Effective October 1, 2004, the Company adopted the CICA’s Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations” (“HB 3110”). HB 3110 requires the recognition of any statutory, contractual or other legal obligation, related to the retirement of tangible long–lived assets when such obligations are incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. These obligations are measured initially at fair value and the resulting costs capitalized into the carrying value of the related asset. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for the accretion of the discount and any changes in the amount or timing of the underlying future cash flows. The asset retirement cost is amortized to operations over the life of the asset.

For the period ended June 30, 2005

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited)
 

	Prior to adoption of HB 3110, a reserve of $32.7 million for future site closure and mine reclamation costs was established based upon the estimated costs to comply with existing reclamation standards.
	The Company adopted HB 3110 retroactively with restatement of prior periods presented. Adoption of HB 3110 resulted in a decrease in supplies inventory of $2,277,397, a decrease in property, plant and equipment of $8,779,655, a decrease in provision for site closure and reclamation of $22,280,000 and a decrease in opening deficit of $11,222,948 as of October 1, 2004. In addition, for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, adoption of HB3110 resulted in an increase in accretion of site closure and reclamation costs of $710,455, decrease in amortization of $541,139 and a decrease in opening deficit at October 1, 2003 of $11,463,569.
(g)	Share capital
	The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs. Shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued at the quoted market price on the date the agreement to issue shares was reached.
	The proceeds, net of issue costs, from common shares issued pursuant to flow-through share financing agreements are credited to share capital and the tax benefits of these exploration expenditures are transferred to the purchaser of the shares.
(h)	Stock-based compensation
	The Company has a share option plan which is described in note 8(d). The Company accounts for all non-cash stock-based payments and awards that are direct awards of stock, that call for settlement in cash or other assets, or that are share appreciation rights which call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments, granted on or after October 1, 2002, using the fair value based method.
	Under the fair value based method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of non-cash stock-based payments is periodically re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments. The cost of non-cash stock-based payments that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.
	Under the fair value based method, compensation cost attributable to awards that are direct awards of shares, or share appreciation rights which call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments, is measured at fair value at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. Compensation cost attributable to awards which call for settlement in cash or other assets is measured at fair value at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. For awards that vest at the end of a vesting period, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis; for

	awards that vest on a graded basis, compensation cost is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period.
	Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related contributed surplus is transferred to share capital.
(i)	Income taxes
	The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax values, generally using the substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future income tax assets also result from unused loss carry forwards, resource-related pools, and other deductions. Future tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized. The valuation of future income tax assets is adjusted, if necessary, by the use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount.
(j)	Earnings per common share
	Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
	Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
(k)	Fair value of financial instruments
	The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids, reclamation deposits, bank operating loan and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.
	At June 30, 2005, the carrying values of the promissory note and the royalty obligation approximate their fair values.
	The fair values of the convertible debenture and the tracking preferred shares are not readily determinable with sufficient reliability due to the difficulty in obtaining appropriate market information. It is not practicable to determine the fair values of the advances due to/from related parties because of the related party nature of such amounts and the absence of a secondary market

	for such instruments. Details of the terms of these financial instruments are disclosed in these notes to the financial statements.
(l)	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the impairment of mineral property interests and plant and equipment, the balance of reclamation liability, income taxes, rates for depreciation and the assumptions used in computing share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(m)	Segment disclosures
	The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment, the exploration, development and operation of mineral property interests, within the geographic area of British Columbia, Canada.
(n)	Comparative figures
	Certain of the prior periods' comparative figures have been restated to conform with the presentation adopted for the current period.

4.	Arrangement agreement (tracking preferred shares and Harmony Gold Property)
	In October 2001, the Company and its subsidiary Gibraltar Mines Ltd. (“Gibraltar") completed the acquisition of the Harmony Gold Property and related assets from Continental Minerals Corporation ("Continental"), a British Columbia company with certain directors in common with Taseko, for 12,483,916 series "A" non-voting tracking preferred shares of Gibraltar and $2.23 million cash. The tracking preferred shares are designed to track and capture the value of the Harmony Gold Property and will be redeemed for common shares of Taseko upon a realization event, such as a sale to a third party or commercial production at the Harmony Gold Property, or at the option of Gibraltar, if a realization event has not occurred within ten years. Accordingly, the tracking preferred shares have been classified within shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet.
	As this acquisition was a related party transaction not in the normal course of business and did not result in the culmination of an earnings process, the acquisition was recorded by the Company at the net book value of the assets transferred, net of cash consideration, as follows:

Assets acquired		Amount
Property and equipment	$	8,488
Reclamation deposit		175,000
Mineral property interests		28,811,296
	$	28,994,784
Consideration given
Cash	$	2,230,000
12,483,916 tracking preferred shares of Gibraltar		26,641,948
114,800 common shares of the Company to a dissenting shareholder		122,836
	$	28,994,784

As previously noted, the Gibraltar tracking preferred shares are redeemable for common shares of Taseko upon the occurrence of certain value realization events for the Harmony Gold Property. The tracking preferred shares are redeemable at specified prices per common share of Taseko starting at $3.39 and escalating by $0.25 per year, currently at $4.14. If a realization event does not occur on or before October 16, 2011, Gibraltar has the right to redeem the tracking preferred shares for Taseko common shares at a deemed price equal to the greater of the average 20 day trading price of the common shares of Taseko and $10.00. The Taseko common shares to be issued to Continental upon a realization event will in turn be distributed pro-rata, after adjustment for any taxes, to the holders of redeemable preferred shares of Continental that were issued to Continental shareholders at the time of the Arrangement Agreement.

In accordance with the Gibraltar mine permit, the Company has pledged the mine's plant and certain equipment which, when taken at market value and combined with reclamation deposits (approximately $18.2 million at June 30, 2005), provide the Government of British Columbia with the required security for the estimated reclamation liability on the Gibraltar mine of $32.7 million.

In March 2004, the Company purchased a mining shovel for approximately US$10.1 million ($13.0 million). In May 2004, the Company purchased five mine haul trucks for approximately US$8.2 million ($10.7 million).

During the period ended December 31, 2004, the Company sold the mining shovel and the five haul trucks for approximately US$18.3 million ($22.0 million), of which approximately US$14.7 million ($17.5 million) was received in November 2004, net of a 20% down payment (US$3.6 million, or $4.5 million) which was funded by the Company and represent prepaid lease payments. The purchaser leased the shovel and trucks to a subsidiary of Ledcor CMI Ltd. ("Ledcor"), the Company's joint venture partner at the Gibraltar mine (note 6(a)), and this equipment forms part of Ledcor's contribution to the joint venture.

The Company has the right to acquire the shovel and haul trucks for residual values totaling US$7.1 million ($8.5 million) on this equipment at the end of the lease term in November 2008.

(a)	Gibraltar Copper Mine
	In July 1999, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Gibraltar Copper Mine mineral property, located near Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada from Boliden Westmin (Canada) Limited ("BWCL") for $3.3 million. The acquisition included plant and equipment and supplies inventory of the Gibraltar mine, and $8 million of funds set aside for future reclamation. As part of its 1999 operating permits, the Company had agreed to incur a total of $4 million on reclamation and environmental programs during the six year period July 1999 to July 2005. The Gibraltar mine final reclamation and closure plan is updated every five years. The most recent reclamation plan and closure report was approved by the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines in 2004. Pursuant to this approved closure plan, the Ministry agreed that the Company had satisfied the $4 million reclamation obligation required under the 1999 operating permits.
	The agreement contained certain indemnification clauses. The $8 million of funds set aside for future reclamation were considered a "Qualified Environmental Trust" for Canadian income tax purposes. During the year ended September 30, 2003, the Government of British Columbia released these funds from the Trust, which resulted in an income inclusion to the Company, and consequently resulted in the Company utilizing $3.57 million of tax pools otherwise available to it. The Company has made claim to BWCL for this estimated tax liability under the indemnification terms of the agreement.
	During the year ended September 30, 2001, Gibraltar Mines Ltd., Gibraltar Engineering Services Limited Partnership (the "GESL Partnership") (see note 6(d)), and Cominco Engineering Services Ltd. ("CESL") concluded a Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") to jointly complete an evaluation for a potential hydrometallurgical copper refinery (using CESL technology) at the Gibraltar mine. Expenses incurred in excess of the $2.7 million agreed to in the original MOA were funded by the Company and the GESL Partnership. During fiscal 2002 and 2003, the Company acquired the business carried on by the GESL Partnership (note 6(d)).
	The Company retained Procorp Services Limited Partnership ("Procorp") to provide technical, financial, management and marketing services related to all facets of the start-up, expansion and development of the Gibraltar mine and the proposed hydrometallurgical refinery. Procorp is a mining services, financing and marketing partnership comprised of experienced, specialized independent contractors as well as members who are also directors and officers of the Company. Compensation to Procorp included an initial payment of US$0.9 million for services rendered in

	fiscal 2001 and 2002 (which has been paid) and a second payment of US$0.9 million upon successful recommencement of commercial production of the Gibraltar mine using the CESL technology prior to October 31, 2005. In addition, the Company agreed, subject to regulatory approval, to issue to Procorp 3.5 million warrants to purchase common shares of the Company at a price of $1.70 per share for two years and a royalty of US$0.01 per pound of copper sold, upon successful recommencement of commercial production using the hydrometallurgical refinery by October 31, 2005.
	The Gibraltar mine had been on care and maintenance since being acquired in 1999 and commenced restart activities during the year ended September 30, 2004. During fiscal 2001, due to continued uncertainty regarding start-up and an extended cycle of depressed metal prices, the Company wrote down the accumulated mineral property interest acquisition costs of $5.9 million to a nominal amount of $1,000.
	Part of the Gibraltar mine consists of waste rock dumps which the Company has an obligation to reclaim. On November 1, 2002, the Company entered into a Landfill Management Agreement and an associated Partnering Agreement with the Cariboo Regional District (“CRD”), whereby the CRD funded the Company to construct (which was completed by the Company), operate, manage and maintain, on an ongoing basis, a municipal landfill on certain of the waste rock dumps for the CRD for the life of the landfill, expected to be in excess of 80 years. As a result of these agreements, the Company’s reclamation obligation was reduced and accordingly, during fiscal 2003, the Government of British Columbia released $2.5 million of the reclamation deposits held.
	During the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company formed a joint venture with Ledcor CMI Ltd. and Ledcor Mining Ltd. (together “Ledcor”), whereby Ledcor would finance certain equipment and commission, restart, and operate the Gibraltar mine. As operator, Ledcor’s primary responsibility was the commissioning and the operating of the mine in addition to other aspects of mine operations, including drilling, blasting, loading and hauling of ore and waste as well as the recruitment of personnel and the maintenance of equipment and facilities. Ledcor contributed to the joint venture its own mine equipment and purchased or leased additional equipment as necessary. Taseko contributed to the joint venture certain mineral rights and usage rights to the existing mill and equipment, oversee concentrate sales, off-site activities and administration.
	Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the Company is required to maintain a bank account with a balance of at least $5 million in a "product revenue account", for the purposes of providing working capital for operations and general administrative costs.
(b)	Prosperity Gold-Copper Property
	The Company owns 100% of the Prosperity Gold-Copper Property, consisting of 196 mineral claims covering the mineral rights for approximately 85 square km in the Clinton Mining Division in south central British Columbia, Canada. The $28.66 million cash and share

	consideration to acquire the Prosperity property was written down to a nominal $1,000 value in fiscal 2001, to reflect the extended depressed conditions in the metals markets.
(c)	Harmony Gold Property
	Under the terms of an arrangement agreement (note 4), the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Harmony Gold Property in fiscal 2002.
	The Company does not believe there has been a fundamental change in the nature of the Harmony Gold Property; however, as the Company had not conducted significant exploration or development on the property in the last several years the Harmony Gold Property was written down to a nominal value of $1,000 during the year ended September 30, 2004.
(d)	Acquisition agreements
	Gibraltar Engineering Services Limited Partnership
	In December 2001, the GESL Partnership completed a private placement of limited partnership units for aggregate proceeds of $1.85 million. In February 2002, the Company issued 4,966,659 Taseko common shares at $0.44 per share to acquire Gibraltar Refinery (2002) Ltd., which had acquired certain of the private placement units of the GESL Partnership. The Company also issued 50,000 Taseko common shares to its financial adviser in connection with this acquisition. A further $3 million of expenditures were incurred by the GESL Partnership, which were financed by a separate partnership, the GESL Refinery Process ("GRP") Partnership, for a total financing amount of $4.85 million. In December 2002, a general partnership interest in the GRP Partnership was acquired and financed by a third party for $3.0 million. In April 2003, under a plan of arrangement, the Company issued 7,446,809 Taseko common shares for total consideration of $3.5 million to complete the acquisition of Gibraltar Engineering Services Limited ("GESL"), which had acquired the remaining business of the GESL Partnership.
	Gibraltar Reclamation Trust Limited Partnership
	In December 2003, the GRT Partnership completed a private placement of limited partnership units for aggregate proceeds of $18.6 million, and entered into a joint venture arrangement with Gibraltar Mines Ltd. to proceed towards restarting the Gibraltar mine with the funds raised. Gibraltar Mines Ltd., as its contribution to the joint venture, was to contribute the use of its mine assets and fund the start-up expenses of the Gibraltar mine, and the GRT Partnership funded a qualifying environmental trust (“QET”), which consequently allowed Gibraltar Mines Ltd. to access other funds then held by the Government of British Columbia as a security for the mine’s environmental reclamation obligations. Under the joint venture agreement, the GRT Partnership was to be entitled to certain revenues or production share from the Gibraltar mine following the resumption of production. In March 2004, the Company issued 7,967,742 common shares at $2.79 per share for total consideration of $22.23 million to acquire all of the units of the GRT Partnership. In conjunction with this agreement, certain directors and officers of the Company personally guaranteed certain obligations to third parties on behalf of the Company to the extent

	of $4.5 million. In consideration for the guarantee, the Company issued 225,000 common shares at $2.00 per share to those directors and officers.
(e)	Farmout Agreement
	In December 2003, the Company entered into a Farmout Agreement (the "Agreement") with Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. ("Northern Dynasty") and Rockwell Ventures Inc. ("Rockwell"), each public companies with certain directors in common with the Company. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company granted to Northern Dynasty, and to Rockwell, rights to earn joint venture working interests, subject to a maximum of $650,000 in the case of Northern Dynasty and $200,000 in the case of Rockwell, on certain exploration properties located in the vicinity of the Gibraltar mine property. For a period of 150 days after Northern Dynasty and Rockwell earned their working interests, the Company had the right to purchase their interests at 110% in cash or in common shares of the Company, at the Company's option. If the Company elected to issue common shares, the common shares to be issued were to have been valued at the weighted average ten-day trading price as traded on the TSX Venture Exchange.
	In December 2003, Northern Dynasty earned an interest in these properties to the extent of $650,000 and Rockwell earned an interest in these properties to the extent of $200,000. In March 2004, Taseko exercised its right to purchase the interests earned by Northern Dynasty and Rockwell by issuing 256,272 common shares to Northern Dynasty and 78,853 common shares to Rockwell.
(f)	Royalty Agreement (promissory note and royalty obligation)
	In September 2004, the Company entered into agreements with an unrelated investment partnership, the Red Mile Resources No. 2 Limited Partnership (“Red Mile”). Gibraltar Mines Ltd. sold to Red Mile a royalty for $67.357 million cash, which cash was received on September 29, 2004. These funds were subsequently loaned to a financial institution (and a promissory note received) and the Company has pledged these funds along with interest thereon for a total of $70.2 million to secure its obligations under the agreements.
	Pursuant to the agreements, the Company received an aggregate of $10.5 million in fees and interest for services performed in relation to the Red Mile transaction, of which $5.25 million was received in each of September 2004 and December 2004.
	The amount of $5.25 million received in September 2004 included $1.75 million for indemnifying an affiliate of Red Mile from any claims relating to a breach by Gibraltar Mines Ltd. under the royalty agreement. The funds received in respect of the indemnification are presented as deferred revenue, and are recognized over the expected remaining life of the royalty agreement, with $1,618,750 remaining as deferred as at June 30, 2005.
	Annual royalties will be payable by Gibraltar Mines Ltd. at rates ranging from $0.01 per pound to $0.14 per pound of copper produced during the period from the commencement of commercial production (as defined in the agreement) to December 2014. Gibraltar Mines Ltd. is entitled to

have released to it funds held under the promissory note and interest thereon to fund its royalty obligations to the extent of its royalty payment obligations.

The Company has a pre-emptive option to effectively purchase (“call”) the royalty interest by acquiring the Red Mile partnership units at a future date in consideration of a payment commensurate with the funds received by the Company. Under certain circumstances, the investors in Red Mile also have a right to sell (“put”) their Red Mile partnership units to the Company; however such right is subject to the Company's pre-emptive right to exercise the “call” in advance of any “put” being exercised and completed.

The Company has granted to Red Mile a net profits interest (“NPI”), which survives any “put” or “call” of the Red Mile units. For the years 2011 to 2014, the NPI is 2% if the price of copper averages US$2.50 to US$2.74 per pound, 3% if the price of copper averages US$2.75 to US$2.99 per pound and 4% if the price of copper averages US$3.00 per pound or greater for any year during that period. The US-dollar pricing amounts specified above are based upon an exchange rate of US$0.75 for Cdn$1.00, and shall be adjusted from time to time by any variation of such exchange rates. No NPI is payable until the Company reaches a pre-determined aggregate level of revenues less defined operating costs and expenditures.

(c)	Convertible debenture
	On July 21, 1999, in connection with the acquisition of the Gibraltar mine, the Company issued a $17 million interest-free debenture to BWCL, which is due on July 21, 2009, but is convertible into common shares of the Company over a 10 year period commencing at a price of $3.14 per share in year one and escalating by $0.25 per share per year thereafter ($4.39 per share as at June 30, 2005). BWCL’s purchase of the convertible debenture was receivable as to $4,000,000 in July 1999, $1,000,000 on October 19, 1999, $3,500,000 on July 21, 2000, and $8,500,000 by December 31, 2000, all of which were received. BWCL has the right to convert, in part or in all from time to time, the debenture into fully paid common shares of the Company from year one to year ten, but has not requested any conversions to date.
	From the commencement of the sixth year to the tenth year, the Company has the right to automatically convert the debenture into common shares at the then-prevailing market price. Since the Company has the right and the intention to settle the convertible debenture through the issuance of common shares, notwithstanding the Company’s right to settle the debenture with cash, it has been included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet.
	Accounting standards in Canada for compound financial instruments require the Company to allocate the proceeds received from the convertible debenture between (i) the fair value of the option to convert the debenture into common shares and (ii) the fair value of the future cash outflows related to the debenture. At issuance, the Company estimated the fair value of the conversion option by deducting the present value of the future cash outflows of the convertible debenture, calculated using a risk-adjusted discount rate of 10%, from the face value of the principal of the convertible debenture. The residual carrying value of the convertible debenture is required to be accreted to the face value of the convertible debenture over the life of the debenture by, in the Company’s case, a direct charge to deficit. During the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company restated the prior years' convertible debenture and deficit balances within shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet and the statements of deficit for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 to reflect the required accretion of the convertible debenture.

(d)	Share purchase option plan
	The Company has a share purchase option plan approved by the shareholders that allows it to grant a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time an option is granted, less common shares reserved or issued in the plan, subject to regulatory terms and approval, to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. The exercise price of each option may be set equal to or greater than the closing market price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the day prior to the date of the grant of the option, less any allowable discounts. Options have a maximum term of ten years and terminate 30 to 90 days following the termination of the optionee’s employment or term of engagement, except in the case of retirement or death. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors at the time the options are granted.
	The continuity of share purchase options is as follows:

As at June 30, 2005, 7,740,500 of the options outstanding had vested with optionees.

Subsequent to June 30, 2005, to July 31, 2005, a total of 30,000 options were exercised for gross proceeds of $7,500.

The exercise prices of all share purchase options granted during the period were equal to the market price at the grant date. Using an option pricing model with the assumptions noted below, the estimated fair value of all options granted during the period have been reflected in the statement of operations as follows:

The expected reclamation costs used in the determination of this provision total $32.7 million and are expected to be spent over a period of about three years beginning in 2017 after the reserves of the Gibraltar mine pits are depleted. The credit-adjusted risk free rate at which the estimated future cash flows have been discounted is 10%.

In accordance with the Gibraltar mine permit, the Company has pledged the mine’s plant and certain equipment (note 5) which, when taken at market value and combined with reclamation deposits (approximately $18.2 million at June 30, 2005), provide the Government of British Columbia with the required security for the estimated reclamation liability on the Gibraltar mine of $32.7 million.

10.	Income taxes
	As at September 30, 2004 and 2003, the tax effect of the significant components within the Company’s future tax assets were as follows:

		2004			2003
Mineral properties	$	7,472,000		$	–
Loss carry forwards		1,412,000			1,778,000

Valuation allowance		(38,977,000	)		(3,638,000	)
Future income tax asset	$	–		$	–

The Company has accrued a tax provision of a subsidiary company of $23.744 million. This provision reflects an amount which management believes is less than likely of ever becoming payable. The subsidiary has a June 30, 2005 taxation year end. Prior to making its ultimate tax calculations, the subsidiary will consider tax planning strategies which might be put in place. In addition, the subsidiary would exhaust all appeals if any taxes in connection with this accrual were actually assessed against the subsidiary. The amount represents a potential liability which has been recognized in a conservative manner in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. It does not represent a payable amount based on any filed, or expected to be filed, tax return, nor has any taxation authority assessed the amount or any portion thereof as payable.

At September 30, 2004, the Company’s tax attributes included non-capital losses for income tax purposes in Canada totaling approximately $3,063,000 expiring in various periods from 2005 to 2014.
