1.

Nature of operations:



Midway Gold Corp. (the Company or Midway) was incorporated on May 14, 1996 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and its principal business activities are the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.



The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable ore reserves in its mineral properties, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development, confirmation of the Companys interest in the underlying mineral claims and upon future profitable production from or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral properties.



Going concern uncertainty



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain and dependent upon obtaining the financing necessary to meet its financial commitments and to complete the development of its properties and/or realizing proceeds from the sale of one or more of the properties.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Companys interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,566,224, working capital of $1,905,062 and has accumulated losses of $55,809,334 since inception.



Management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund its proposed exploration program and continued operations will exceed the amount of cash on hand at September 30, 2009. Accordingly, the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet planned expenditures over the next twelve months, and will need to seek additional debt or equity financing to meet its planned expenditures. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient cash to fund its future exploration programs and operational expenditures. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. 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.



2.

Significant accounting policies and change in accounting policy:

These consolidated interim financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP).  They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements.   The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 which may be found on the Companys profile on SEDAR and EDGAR.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these consolidated interim financial statements, except as follows:



Recent United States Accounting Pronouncements:



In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting standards related to its accounting standards codification of the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles. The new standard is the sole source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (U.S. GAAP) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The



11



---





Codification superseded non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All accounting literature that is not in the Codification, not issued by the SEC and not otherwise grandfathered is non-authoritative. The new standard is effective for the Companys interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009.  Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 105, the Company has updated the references to GAAP in its financial statements issued for the period ended September 30, 2009.  The adoption had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial position results of operations or cash flows.



In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity which also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, this standard provides more timely and useful information about an enterprises involvement with a variable interest entity. The standard will become effective in the first quarter of 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.



In May 2009, FASB issued new accounting standards on subsequent events that established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, it provides (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new standard is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  Midway has evaluated all subsequent events through November 6, 2009, the date of filing of this Form 10-Q. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.



In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. This new standard provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with the accounting standard on fair value measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.



In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. This amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most significant change is a revision to the amount of other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.



In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments  The standard requires disclosure about the fair value of its financial instruments and the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements.  The standard is effective for the Company as of June 30, 2009 and its adoption did not impact the Companys interim consolidated financial condition or results of operations.



In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting standards ondisclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activitiesthat intends to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring



12



---





enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The new standard also requires disclosure about an entitys strategy and objectives for using derivatives, the fair values of derivative instruments and their related gains and losses. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and was applicable to the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting standards on, business combinations that establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The standard requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests and shall be applied prospectively on or after an entitys fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2008. The standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements:



Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements(SFAS 157), clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. We have adopted SFAS 157 and FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2: Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 for financial instruments as required at January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, we are required to provide additional disclosure as part of our consolidated financial statements. We adopted SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009 as required and the provisions did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.



SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.



The valuation of investments in marketable securities include available for sale securities.  The Companys Level 1 assets include the valuation of the common shares available for sale with no trading restrictions as determined using a market approach based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market.   Level 1 assets also include the valuation of warrants that are considered derivatives and are marked to market each reporting period based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.  The Companys Level 2 assets include the valuation of common shares with trading restrictions that will be removed within one year of the financial period reporting date as determined using a market approach and based upon quoted prices for identical assets in an active market adjusted by a discount to market comparable to the discount allowed by the TSX Venture Stock Exchange for private placements.  The Company sold its marketable securities during the period ended September 30, 2009.

The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at September 30, 2009 related to vested options was $177,017.  Intrinsic value for vested stock options is calculated on the difference between the exercise prices of the underlying options and the quoted price of $0.75 for our common stock as of September 30, 2009.



At September 30, 2009 all but 568,333 of the 4,635,000 stock options outstanding were exercisable.



The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,112,822 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (September 30, 2008 - $497,421) for options vesting in that period of which $939,450 (September 30, 2008 - $225,637) was included in salaries and benefits in the statement of operations and $173,372 (September 30, 2008 - $271,784) was included in salaries and labour in the schedule of mineral exploration expenditures.  There is a balance of $90,854 that will be recognized in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 as the options vest.



The Company used the Companys historical experience to estimate the expected life of stock options.  The $0.31 to $0.57 fair value of each stock option grant in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 3.09 to 3.49 years; volatility of 90.92 to 100.14%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 1.77% to 2.37%.

Promissory note:



On July 17, 2008, the Company and Golden Predator Mines Inc. (Golden Predator) entered into a term sheet (the Term Sheet) describing the principal terms of a business combination between the two companies.  Completion of the transaction was subject to receipt of a favourable fairness opinion, completion of due diligence investigations, the parties entering into a definitive agreement, securities law compliance and obtaining all necessary court, regulatory, stock exchange, board and shareholder approvals.  On September 15, 2008 the Term Sheet expired and the business combination was not completed.



Pursuant the Term Sheet, Golden Predator agreed to provide a loan facility of $5 million to the Company, which the Company could draw upon in instalments of $1 million.    On August 28, 2008 the Company drew $2 million of the facility and issued a promissory note that will mature with interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 2% on July 16, 2009.  On November 12, 2008 the Company and Golden Predator mutually agreed to release each other from all matters related to the Term Sheet, remove all restrictions and reporting obligations for the use of proceeds of the Promissory Note and the Company agreed to early pay Golden Predator $1,000,000 of the Promissory Note together with $27,274 interest accrued to that date.  Finally the Company agreed that 50% of the proceeds of any warrants exercised pursuant to the private placement closed on November 12, 2008 will be applied to the Promissory Note until it is paid.  On May 8, 2009 the Company paid Golden Predator the final payment owing on the $1,000,000 principal of the Promissory Note together with interest of $24,101 accrued to the date of payment.

Contingency:



On February 2, 2007 the Companys wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary MGC Resources Inc. (MGC") entered into a drill contract with Derex Drilling Services Ltd. (Derex), a British Columbia corporation, to provide drilling services for the Midway project and MGC paid Derex a deposit of US$50,000.  Derex did not provide the drilling services on a timely basis and by May 2007 MGC filed a civil complaint alleging breach of contract and MGC filed and was granted a writ of attachment against the drill rig which had been left unattended on the Midway property and was the only known asset of Derex in the United States.  MGC presented the writ of attachment to the Nye County Sheriff for execution and the Sheriff engaged a towing company to remove the drill rig and deliver it to storage.  On May 10, 2007 the towing company driver was involved in an accident while moving the drill rig, causing extensive damage to the drill rig.



On or about May 14, 2007 Derex returned to MGC the US$50,000 deposit and MGC dismissed the complaint alleging breach of contract.  MGC had heard nothing further about this matter until on May 5, 2009 when MGC was named as a defendant to a civil complaint filed in federal court in Nevada (the Complaint).  The Complaint was

filed by ING Novex Insurance Company of Canada (ING) against MGC, the tow truck driver, the towing company and the Nye County Sheriffs office (the ING Defendants) to recover damages and attorneys fees and costs under its subrogation rights for having reimbursed Derex for the value of the drill rig under a policy of insurance.  In its Complaint, ING asserts claims against MGC for negligence, wrongful attachment and unjust enrichment.



While ING has alleged that the value of the drill rig was approximately US$200,000, the amount of the potential damages cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and the occurrence of the confirming future event is not determinable.  On June 22, 2009 MGC filed a motion to dismiss INGs Complaint.  ING filed a response on July 15, 2009.  MGC filed a reply on July 31, 2009.  There is no specific timetable for the Nevada court to consider MGCs motion to dismiss.   The outcome of this matter is not determinable at present.





Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q.  This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under the heading Risk Factors and Uncertainties in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009, and elsewhere in this report.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Midway to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis Midway reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that Midway believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but Midway does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies Midway believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in Critical Accounting Policies, and have not changed significantly.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In addition, certain statements made in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Midway to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Except for historical information, the matters set forth herein, which are forward-looking statements, involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unexpected changes in business and economic conditions;  significant increases or decreases in gold prices; changes in interest and currency exchange rates;  unanticipated grade changes; metallurgy, processing, access, availability of materials, equipment, supplies and water; determination of reserves; results of current and future exploration activities; results of pending and future feasibility studies; joint venture relationships; political or economic instability, either globally or in the countries in which we operate; local and community impacts and issues; timing of receipt of government approvals; accidents and labor disputes; environmental costs and risks; competitive factors, including competition for property acquisitions; and availability of external financing at reasonable rates or at all.  Forward- looking statements can be identified by terminology such as may, will, should, expects, intends, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential, continues or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although Midway believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.Forward-looking statements are

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates



The mineral estimates in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms mineral reserve, proven mineral reserve and probable mineral reserve are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101  Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the CIM) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1993, as amended. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a final or bankable feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.



In addition, the terms mineral resource, measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. Inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases.



Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of contained ounces in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute reserves by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.



Accordingly, information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Midways Nevada Properties



Humboldt Gold Trend



Spring Valley Property, Pershing County, Nevada



The Spring Valley project is located 20 miles northeast of Lovelock and approximately 3 miles north of the Coeur Rochester Open Pit Mine. Spring Valley is a diatreme/porphyry hosted gold system, and located on the Humboldt Gold Trend.



On March 2, 2009 the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate of 87,750,000 tons grading 0.021 opt containing 1,835,615 ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 0.006 opt using a $715 Lerchs-Grossman Optimization Shell.  This updated estimate represents an 85% increase in contained gold at Spring Valley and includes drilling completed through the end of 2008.  The new resource incorporates portions of the West Diatreme, North Hill and newly discovered Big Leap zones that were not included in the last resource estimate prepared by AMEC at December 15, 2007. Gold mineralization remains open for expansion to the north, south, and at depth.



This resource estimate is in compliance with Canadas NI 43-101 and in accordance with CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.  It was conducted under the supervision of Eric LeLacheur (CPG), Spring Valley Project Manager, and Don Harris (M.Sc., CPG), Vice President-Advanced Projects, who are the Qualified Persons responsible for the resource.



The property is currently operating under an exploration, development, and mine operating agreement with Barrick Gold Exploration Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors In this Quarterly Report we use the terms mineral resource, measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource, as defined in accordance with NI 43-101. US investors are advised to read carefully the definitions of these terms as well as the Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates above.



The current resource estimate includes drill results from 450 holes up to December 31, 2008 at Spring Valley in the Pond, Sill, Porphyry, Valley Breccia, North Hill, West Diatreme, and Big Leap Zones.  Mineralized domains were established by interpretation of geological, structural and assay information on sections. Assays within the domains were composited into 10 foot intervals. Search distances and directions were established using spherical variograms on the composites within the domains. A capping threshold of 1.00 opt gold was utilized, and assays greater than 1.00 opt gold were set to 1.00 opt gold. Higher grade composites between 0.25 and 1.0 opt were given a restricted range of 100 feet to limit high grade influences. A density of 12.6 cubic feet per short ton was applied to all bedrock material, and 14.0 cubic feet per short ton was applied to alluvium overburden. A three dimensional block model was generated using Surpac®, a commercially available mine planning software package. Composited assays were used to estimate tons and gold grades within domains using an inverse distance cubed (ID3) estimation method. Resources reported are included within a Lerchs-Grossmann (L-G) optimization shell using a $715 per ounce gold price.  The L-G shell is an economic test that simulates a break even pit using current mining costs.



The Company expended $115,069 on the Spring Valley project in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 which includes $41,406 of legal costs incurred to finalize the agreement with Barrick and other matters related to the project.  As discussed below the Company expended and recovered an additional $488,074 on the Spring Valley Project from Barrick.



A Technical Report by Midway supporting disclosure of this mineral resource was filed on the Companys profile on www.sedar.com on March 30, 2009.  The Technical Report updates the project as of December 31, 2008, and outlines work on the resource and progress to date.



See Midway press release, March 2, 2009 at www.midwaygold.com,



Exploration, Development and Mine Operating Agreement



On March 10, 2009, Midway, through its wholly-owned subsidiary MGC Resources Inc., executed an Exploration, Development and Mine Operating Agreement, effective March 9, 2009 (the EDM Agreement), with Barrick Gold Exploration Inc. (Barrick), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation, regarding the exploration, development and possible joint venture of Midways Spring Valley Gold Project in Pershing County, Nevada (the Project).



Exploration Period



Under the terms of the EDM Agreement, MGC granted to Barrick the exclusive right to explore and develop the Project. During this exploration period, Barrick has the exclusive right to earn a 60% interest in the Project by spending US$30,000,000 on the property (US$4,000,000 guaranteed in the first year ending December 31, 2009) over a five-year period ending December 31, 2013. During this five-year period, outside of the mandatory first year expenditure, Barrick shall have the sole right to determine the nature, scope, extent and method of all operations in relation to the property, without having to consult or gain the approval of the Midway. Barrick will be required to provide Midway with certain information and reports and access to the Project to conduct inspections of operations during this period.



After vesting at 60%, Barrick may increase its interest by 10% (70% total) by spending an additional US$8,000,000 on or before December 31, 2014.   At Midways election, Barrick may also earn an additional 5% (75% total) by carrying Midway to a production decision and arranging financing for Midways share of mine construction expenses with the carrying and financing costs plus interest to be recouped by Barrick once production has been established.

Midway is coordinating geologic and administrative activities during the earn-in period for a negotiated administrative fee.



Joint Venture



Under the terms of the EDM Agreement, Midway shall have a period of 120 days from the last of the following events to occur to elect to enter into a joint venture agreement with Barrick with respect to the Project: (i) upon receipt of notice from Barrick that it has not elected to earn the additional 10% interest by spending an additional US$8,000,000; (ii) upon receipt of notice from Barrick that it has timely incurred the additional US$8,000,000 expenditure on the Project to earn the additional 10% interest; (iii) upon receipt of notice from Barrick that it has elected but failed to timely incur the additional US$8,000,000 expenditure on the Project. If Midway fails to notify Barrick within the 120-day period, Midway will be deemed to have elected to enter into the joint venture with Barrick.



If Midway elects or is deemed to have elected to enter into the joint venture agreement with Barrick, initial capital accounts will be established in accordance with Barricks earned interest in the Project and Barrick will become the manager of the joint venture



If Midway elects not to enter into the joint venture, then either: (i) within 365 days of Midways notice electing not to enter into the joint venture, Barrick will exercise its option to purchase Midways interest in the Project for US$40,000,000 and a 2% net smelter royalty return (NSR) on production from the Project; or (ii) Barrick will elect not to exercise its option to purchase Midways interest in the Project and the joint venture will be formed with Midway being deemed to have elected the carry option and any operations costs incurred by Barrick in the 365-day election period will be treated as Midways development costs.



The EDM Agreement also provides for the adjustment of a partys participating interest in the joint venture upon default in making agreed-upon contributions to adopted programs and budgets or upon contributing less to a program and budget than a percentage equal to the partys participating interest.



Further, the EDM Agreement provides that if Midways participation interest falls below 10%, Midway shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the joint venture and all of Midways participating interests will be assigned to Barrick, with Midway reserving a 2% NSR.



Under the EDM Agreement, a partys whose recalculated participating interest is reduced to 10% shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the joint venture and shall relinquish its entire participating interest. Such relinquished participating interest shall be deemed to have accrued automatically to the other party. The reduced party shall have the right to receive 10% of net proceeds, if any, to a maximum amount of 75% percent of the reduced partys equity account balance as of the effective date of the withdrawal. Upon receipt of such amount, the reduced party shall thereafter have no further right, title, or interest in the Project or under the EDM Agreement.



Barrick is required to conduct and fund exploration in 2009 on the Spring Valley project at a minimum level of US$4,000,000.  Barrick has informed Midway its program will include 45,000 feet of infill core and reverse circulation drilling and approximately twelve holes will be drilled for metallurgical testing purposes.



On August 24, 2009 the Company announced second quarter results from drilling and metallurgical work underway by Barrick that began on March 9, 2009.



Bottle roll tests as reported by Barrick show gold recoveries of over 90% for both oxide and sulfide-bearing composite samples. Drilling completed through June 2009 totaled 14,122 feet of reverse circulation (RC) and 6,736 feet of core.



Barrick has bottle roll, column leach, and gravity separation tests underway at McClelland Labs in Reno on thirteen composite samples. Bottle roll tests show gold recoveries ranging from 86% to 98% for oxide, transitional, and sulfide composite samples at grind sizes of 100 and 200 mesh.  Recoveries range from 70% to 97% in the coarser grind size of 48 mesh. Column leach and gravity separation test results are pending and anticipated by year end.

New reportable drill intercepts provided to Midway by Barrick are summarized in Table 1 below. Mineralization remains open at depths greater than previously modeled. High grade fire assays (FA) such as 4.5 feet of 1.108 opt gold in SV09-451C have metallic screen assays pending. High grade metallic screen (MS) intervals include 5 feet of 0.792 opt gold in SV09-445 and 10 feet of 0.624 opt gold in SV09-446.



A twin hole program was designed to confirm gold intervals in RC holes by drilling parallel core holes immediately beside the RC holes. Preliminary fire assay results show mineralized zones in both types of holes occur over similar intervals. Complete metallic screen assay results are still pending. Drilling is now focused on in-fill and step-out holes with potential to add ounces to the gold resource.

Round Mountain Gold Trend

Midway Property, Nye County, Nevada



The Midway property is located in Nye County, Nevada, approximately 24 kilometers northeast of the town of Tonopah, 335 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas and 380 kilometers southeast of Reno. It is a high-grade epithermal quartz-gold vein system, on the Round Mountain  Goldfield gold trend. An underground decline is being permitted to bulk sample and test a group of high grade veins. Bulk sampling and metallurgical testing will help determine the true grade of the veins, provide a large sample for metallurgical testing and a drill platform to delineate reserves, and move the project toward production.



Midway hopes to be permitted for the bulk sample in 2010.



Activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 at a cost of $281,673 continued its focus on negotiation of a water usage agreement with the town of Tonopah.Once the water agreement is in place then the Company can finalize the Plan of Operation and submit it to the BLM.



Through a series of agreements, amendments and payments the Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Midway property subject only to a sliding scale royalty on Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty from any commercial production of between 2% to 7%, based on changes in gold prices.  To maintain the option the Company must pay an advance minimum royalty, recoverable from commercial production, of US$300,000 per year on each August 15.  On September 29, 2009 the optionors of the Midway property agreed to waive the US$300,000 payment that would otherwise be due on August 15, 2010.



On July 1, 2009, and amended on October 14, 2009, the Company agreed with the Town of Tonopah  (Tonopah) and Lumos & Associates (Lumos) to fund a study to identify the best alternatives which maximize the treatment and dewatering of water at a possible mine at the Midway Project for municipal use and/or re-injection, to minimize the need the for redundant facilities and over costs to benefit the Company and Tonopah.  Tonapah contracted with Lumos to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report to identify the best alternatives to which the Company agreed to fund up to US$105,120 of which US$50,820 had been paid or accrued by September 30, 2009.



Pan Gold Project, White Pine County, Nevada

The Pan Gold property is located at the northern end of the Pancake mountain range in western White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 22 miles southeast of Eureka, Nevada, and 50 miles west of Ely, Nevada.



The Pan project is a sediment-hosted gold deposit located along the prolific Battle Mountain/Eureka gold trend. Gold occurs in four shallow oxide deposits, along a 2-mile strike length of a faulted anticline.

The project has a Measured and Indicated resource of 18,961,000 tons at 0.019 opt containing 361,400  ounces of gold and an Inferred mineral resource of 8,302,000 tons at 0.017 opt containing 140,600  ounces of gold as of January 2005 at a cut-off grade of 0.01 opt gold.

Midway completed 26,245 feet in 49 RC drill holes in 2008 including confirmation drilling to update the mineral resource and step-out and exploration drilling.

On November 5, 2009 the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for the Pan Project.  The new Measured and Indicated mineral resource estimate is 34.65 million tons grading 0.018 ounce per ton (opt) gold, using a 0.006 opt cutoff, for a total of 608,700 ounces of gold.  There is an additional Inferred resource of 1.6 million tons grading 0.017 opt gold, containing 26,500 ounces of gold.



This resource update increased the size and quality of the Pan deposit. The gold resource remains open for expansion in several areas, including Boulders, Nana, Wendy, and Barite Zones, where Midway has encountered oxide gold in numerous drill holes. To the south Midway has defined untested soil geochemical anomalies enriched in gold, arsenic, and antimony for an additional mile. Drilling is planned on this 14 square mile project.

This resource estimate has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument NI 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and in accordance with CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.  It was conducted by Midway under the supervision of Don Harris (M.Sc., CPG), who is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical report.  This update represents a material change of less than 100% from the independent resource estimate prepared by MDA in 2005.



The resource estimate is based on verified drill results from 864 exploration holes available up to July 1, 2009.  Mineralized domains were established by interpretation of geological, structural and assay information on sections and plans. Assays within the domains were composited into 10 foot intervals. Search distances and directions were established using spherical variograms on the composites within the domains. A density factor of 13.5 cubic feet per short ton (ft3/st) was applied to the siltstones and shales, 12.3 ft3/st to limestones, and 15.0 ft3/st to overlying volcanic tuffs. Historic metallurgical test work by Alta Gold Company and Castleworth Ventures Inc. shows oxide leach recoveries ranging from 75-94% in column testing.  A three dimensional block model was generated using Surpac®, a commercially available mine planning software package. Composited assays were used to estimate tons and gold grades within domains using an ordinary kriging estimation methodology. Resources reported are included within a Lerchs-Grossmann (L-G) optimization shell using an 80% crushed leach gold recovery.  The L-G shell is an economic test that simulates a break-even pit using current mining costs.



Notes for Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources reported:

1.

The most likely cut-off grade for this deposit is not known at this time and must be confirmed by the appropriate economic studies.

2.

Tons and ounces have been rounded and this may result in minor discrepancies in the totals.

3.

The estimated metal content does not include any consideration of mining, mineral processing, or metallurgical recoveries.



A Technical Report by Midway supporting disclosure of this mineral resource will be filed on www.sedar.com by December 21, 2009.  The Technical Report updates the project as of July 1, 2009, and outlines work on the resource and progress to date.

The map below shows the location of Midways property located in Washington, USA.  This property is described in further detail below.



[midway10q110909025.gif]



The Golden Eagle property is approximately 339.56 acres of private land located in Ferry County, Washington.  The property is accessed by driving two miles northwest of the town of Republic, Washington along the Knob Hill county road.

In 2008, Midway acquired 100% of the Golden Eagle project and began compiling and reviewing the historic database of 847 drill holes containing 165,775 feet of mostly core drilling (74%), to create a modern gold model.  In 2009 Midway expanded its land position by staking additional ground and acquiring additional land.



On June 25, 2009 the Company announced an Indicated Resource estimated at 31.9 million tons grading 0.055 opt gold containing 1,769,000 ounces of gold and Inferred Resources estimated at 5.1 million tons grading 0.038 opt gold containing 194,000 ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 0.02 opt gold using a $750 Lerchs-Grossman optimization shell.

The resource estimate is compliant with Canadas NI 43-101 and with CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.  It was conducted under the supervision of Eric Chapman (M.Sc., C.Geol), Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Inc., Don Harris (M.Sc., CPG) MGC Resources,  and Thom Seal (PhD, PE), Principal and Metallurgist, Differential Engineering Inc. who are the Qualified Persons responsible for the technical report.



On September 9, 2009 Midway announced that surface sampling has identified an area750 feet by 700 feet of oxidized gold mineralization (see figure 1).  This is located along the western flank of the Golden Eagle sulfide-rich refractory gold resource. Ninety-seven percent of the samples containing gold mineralization were oxidized.



Midway plans to complete additional delineation drilling, permitting, metallurgical tests and toll mill arrangements to assess this new opportunity. Evaluating the oxide potential is one step in our plan to look at more economically favorable techniques to develop this large resource.



A total of 206 samples were collected from road cuts and historic open pits exposing strongly altered San Poil volcanic rocks. These rocks are cut by hydrothermal breccia with irregular quartz veins and stockwork veining.  All accessible outcrops were sampled by 10 foot-long continuous-chip samples. Assay results ranged from 0.006 to 0.221 opt  gold. At a 0.006 opt gold cutoff, 187 samples averaged 0.053 opt gold. Composited intervals included 170 feet of 0.075 opt gold, 260 feet of 0.053 opt gold, and 30 feet of 0.159 opt goldwhich are shown in Figure 1. Gold is disseminated in the rock with minor discontinuous quartz veins so true thickness is difficult to determine.



Samples were collected by Blue Eagle Sampling Team, an independent contractor, and submitted to ALS-Chemex Labs in Sparks, Nevada for gold analysis by fire assay.  Blanks and standards were submitted with the samples.  Samples grading over 0.006 opt gold were further analyzed by a gold cyanide assay.  This analysis involves fine crushing and hot cyanide extraction of gold to approximate an oxide mill recovery.  Gold recovery ratios, using this standard test, ranged from 36% to 100%, with an average of 81% gold recovery.  Depth of oxidation, estimated fromhistoric drilling, ranges from 10-130 feet.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors In this Quarterly Report we use the terms mineral resource, measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource, as defined in accordance with NI 43-101. US investors are advised to read carefully the definitions of these terms as well as the Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates above.



The resource estimate includes verified drill results from 204 historic holes that were available up to May 1, 2009.  Verification was completed by comparison of gold values to laboratory certificates and drill logs obtained from historic operators of the project.  Only gold values that had laboratory certificates or drill log verification were used in the resource estimate. Mineralized domains were established by interpretation of geological, structural and assay information on sections and plans. Assays within the domains were composited into 5 foot intervals. Search distances and directions were established using spherical variograms on the composites within the domains. A capping threshold of 0.10 to 0.50 opt gold was utilized depending upon the domain, and assays greater than the capping threshold would be set to that value.  Less than 0.2% of the samples were affected by the capping.  A density factor of 13.7 cubic feet per short ton (ft3/st) was applied to the mineralized bedrock material, and 13.5 to 14.3 ft3/st was applied to surrounding bedrock.  A tonnage factor of 15.1 ft3/st was applied to overlying glacial till. A three dimensional block model was generated using Datamine®, a commercially available mine planning software package. Composited assays were used to estimate tons and gold grades within domains using an ordinary kriging estimation methodology. Resources reported are included within a Lerchs-Grossmann (L-G) optimization shell,

which was generated using a $750 per ounce gold price and 85% gold recovery.  The L-G shell is an economic test that simulates a break-even pit using current mining costs.



A Technical Report by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants supporting disclosure of this mineral resource was filed on www.sedar.com on August 4, 2009.  The Technical Report updates the project as of May 1, 2009, and outlines work on the resource and progress to date.



Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008



The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $2,573,862 (2008  $10,927,687).  The decrease in net loss was due primarily to decreased exploration expenses on the Companys Nevada projects and an overall decrease in most categories of expenses.



Significant differences in costs between the periods are as follows:



Exploration expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $906,003 (2008  $8,599,936).  The details of the expenses in each period may be found in the schedule to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.  Exploration levels are determined by the success of previous exploration programs on each project and cash available to fund additional programs.  Exploration salaries and labor include the non-cash estimated fair value of stock based compensation for stock options granted to technical employees in the period of $173,372 (2008 - $271,784).



Investor relations and travel costs combined were $135,973 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - $216,161).  Midway has focussed its investor relations efforts on increasing the markets awareness of Midway by travelling to meet potential investors and attendance at selected industry investor shows.  In light of recent market conditions this activity has been kept to minimum levels.



Professional fees paid to lawyers and auditors increased to $468,690 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $399,006 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as the Company investigates and evaluates business opportunities.



Directors fees and salaries and benefits of $1,522,310 (2008 - $853,622) are payments to the Companys non-management directors and Midways staff based in Helena, Montana.   The category also includes the estimated fair value of stock based compensation for stock options granted and vested to employees, directors and officers in the period of $939,450 (2008 - $225,637).



During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company realized a gain of $61,620 on the sale of all of its 1,844,500 common shares of Rye Patch for proceeds of $300,525.  The Company recognized an investment write-down of $100,000 for 1,000,000 share purchase warrants of Rye Patch that expired unexercised on September 28, 2009. The Company recognized an investment write-down of $7,770 on the common shares of Rye Patch for the difference in fair value at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.



Interest income has declined with the Companys lower cash balances and the reduction in interest rates.  The income tax recovery of $59,900 (2008 - $647,000) and an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $990,866 (2008  loss of $572,209) included in the foreign exchange gain of $842,711 (2008  loss of $506,647) relate to the US dollar denominated future income tax liability recorded upon the acquisition of Pan-Nevada in April 2007.



Of the amounts receivable at September 30, 2009 of $895,542 all except $546,057 was received by November 6, 2009.  Half of the remaining $546,057 is expected to be received by November 15, 2009 and the remainder by December 15, 2009.

Notes and Factors Affecting Comparability of Quarters:



(1)

The Company is a mineral exploration company at the development stage and has no operating revenues.   Exploration costs fluctuate between periods depending on results of each successive phase on each project and the Companys ability to fund exploration.

(2)

Stock based compensation costs are a non-cash expense and represent an estimate of the fair value of stock options granted.  These expenses are often the largest item included in the Statement of Operations and they represent a significant source of variation in loss from quarter to quarter.  Stock based compensation is allocated between salaries and benefits and mineral exploration expenditures.

(3)

Costs for the June 30 quarter tend to be higher due to printing and mailing of shareholder material for the Companys annual general meeting and costs of conducting this meeting.

(4)

Costs for the December 31 quarter also tend to be higher due to accruals for the annual audit.

(5)

In the December 31, 2008 quarter the Company wrote off $4,247,000 in mineral property interests.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Company began the 2009 year with cash and cash equivalents of $2,416,438.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company expended $2,967,719 on operations, invested a total of $382,495 in mineral property and equipment and received $3,500,000from the exercise of warrants and paid $1,000,000 owing for the promissory note to end at September 30, 2009 with cash and cash equivalents of $1,566,224.



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain and dependent upon obtaining the financing necessary to meet its financial commitments and to complete the development of its properties and/or realizing proceeds from the sale of one or more of the properties.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Companys interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,566,224, working capital of $1,905,062 and has accumulated losses of $55,809,334 since inception.

Management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund its proposed exploration program and continued operations will exceed that amount. Accordingly, the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet planned expenditures over the next twelve months, and will need to seek additional debt or equity financing to meet its planned expenditures. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient cash to fund its future exploration programs and operational expenditures. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated 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.

Recently, the poor conditions in the U.S. housing market and the credit quality of mortgage backed securities continued and worsened in 2008 and into 2009, causing a loss of confidence in the broader U.S. and global credit and financial markets and resulting in the collapse of, and government intervention in, major banks, financial institutions and insurers and creating a climate of greater volatility, less liquidity, widening of credit spreads, a lack of price transparency, increased credit losses and tighter credit conditions.  These disruptions in the current credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. These disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase our cost of obtaining, capital and financing for our operations in the future.  Our access to additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.



On October 13, 2009, we announced a proposed private placement of up to Cdn$10.0 million of units of the Company, each unit to consist of one common share of the Company plus one half of one common share purchase warrant, each whole warrant to entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the offering at an exercise price that was to be determined in the context of the market.  On October 29, 2009, we deferred the proposed financing due to current market conditions.  Our ability to complete this proposed financing is dependent on market conditions and may not be available to us on acceptable terms to us or at all.



We expect to rely upon additional financing to fund our future operating budgets beyond the current fiscal year.  If costs increase substantially or we incur greater losses than expected, our exploration activities and other operations will be reliant upon equity financings to continue into the future.  The current market conditions could make it difficult or impossible for us to raise necessary funds to meet our capital requirements.  If we are unable to obtain financing through equity investments, we will seek multiple solutions including, but not limited to, credit facilities or debenture issuances.



As of November 6, 2009, there are 4,635,000 stock options at prices ranging from $0.56 to $3.36.  While it is probable that some of these options will be exercised, it is not possible to predict the timing or the amount of funds which might be received.

Off-balance sheet arrangements



There are no off balance sheet arrangements.



Inflation



We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.



Environmental Compliance



Our current and future exploration and development activities, as well as our future mining and processing operations, are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in the countries in which we conduct our activities. These laws and regulations govern the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. We expect to be able to comply with those laws and do not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position. We intend to obtain all licenses and permits required by all applicable regulatory agencies in connection with our mining operations and exploration activities. We intend to maintain standards of environmental compliance consistent with regulatory requirements.



Midway has an obligation to reclaim its properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site. As of September 30, 2009, we have accrued US$49,385 ($52,877) related to reclamation and other closure requirements at our properties which is reduced from the estimate made at from December 31, 2008. These liabilities are covered by a combination of surety bonds and restricted cash totaling $312,094 at September 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - $517,711). We have accrued as a current liability what management believes is the present value of our best estimate of the liabilities as of September 30, 2009; however, it is possible that our obligations may change in the near or long term depending on a number of factors.



Critical accounting policies



Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements include our estimate of recoverable value on our property, mineral properties and equipment, site reclamation and rehabilitation as well as the value assigned to stock-based compensation expense. These estimates involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of our control.



The factors affecting stock-based compensation include estimates of when stock options might be exercised and the stock price volatility. The timing for exercise of options is out of our control and will depend, among other things, upon a variety of factors including the market value of Midway shares and financial objectives of the holders of the options. We used historical data to determine volatility in accordance with Black-Scholes modeling, however the future volatility is inherently uncertain and the model has its limitations. While these estimates can have a material impact on the stock-based compensation expense and hence results of operations, there is no impact on our financial condition.



Midways recoverability evaluation of its mineral properties and equipment is based on market conditions for minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the assets and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale. Midway is in an industry that is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties, including exploration risk, development risk, commodity price risk, operating risk, ownership and political risk, funding and currency risk, as well as environmental risk. Bearing these risks in mind, Midway has assumed recent world commodity prices will be achievable. We have considered the mineral resource reports by independent engineers on the Midway, Spring Valley, Pan and Golden Eagle projects in considering the recoverability of the carrying costs of the mineral properties.  All of these assumptions are potentially subject to change, out of our control, however such changes are not determinable. Accordingly, there is always the potential for a material adjustment to the value assigned to mineral properties and equipment.

Midway has an obligation to reclaim its properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site. As a result Midway has recorded a liability for the fair value of the reclamation costs it expects to incur. The Company estimated applicable inflation and credit-adjusted risk-free rates as well as expected reclamation time frames. To the extent that the estimated reclamation costs change, such changes will impact future reclamation expense recorded.



Recent United States Accounting Pronouncements:



In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting standards related to its accounting standards codification of the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles. The new standard is the sole source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (U.S. GAAP) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification superseded non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All accounting literature that is not in the Codification, not issued by the SEC and not otherwise grandfathered is non-authoritative. The new standard is effective for the Companys interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009.  Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 105, the Company has updated the references to GAAP in its financial statements issued for the period ended September 30, 2009.  The adoption had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial position results of operations or cash flows.



In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity which also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, this standard provides more timely and useful information about an enterprises involvement with a variable interest entity. The standard will become effective in the first quarter of 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.



In May 2009, FASB issued new accounting standards on subsequent events that established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, it provides (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new standard is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  Midway has evaluated all subsequent events through November 6, 2009, the date of filing of this Form 10-Q. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.



In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. This new standard provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with the accounting standard on fair value measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.



In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. This amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance



39



---





more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most significant change is a revision to the amount of other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.



In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting standards on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments  The standard requires disclosure about the fair value of its financial instruments and the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements.  The standard is effective for the Company as of June 30, 2009 and its adoption did not impact the Companys interim consolidated financial condition or results of operations.



In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting standards ondisclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activitiesthat intends to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The new standard also requires disclosure about an entitys strategy and objectives for using derivatives, the fair values of derivative instruments and their related gains and losses. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and was applicable to the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting standards on, business combinations that establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The standard requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests and shall be applied prospectively on or after an entitys fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2008. The standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



Related Party Transactions



The Company had the following related party transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

These transactions are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount which is the consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.



Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We have no debt instruments subject to interest payments, sales contracts, swaps, derivatives, or forward agreements or contracts, or inventory.



40



---







Midway has no currency or commodity contracts, and we do not trade in such instruments.



Midway has no cash flow or revenue from operations.  Our operating funds are currently provided by equity issuances. We have to date always raised funds in Canadian dollars although we incur the majority of our expenditures in both Canadian and United States dollars.  The shares of Midway are listed for trading on NYSE Amex and TSX.V and accordingly our ability to raise equity funds and the price at which such issues are sold is directly related to the activity and price of our shares on such exchange.  In addition, as we incur expenditures in both Canadian and United States currencies we have exposure to foreign currency gains or losses.  We do not currently enter into any contracts or arrangements to hedge against currency fluctuations.



We periodically access the capital markets with the issuance of new shares to fund operating expenses, and we do not maintain significant cash reserves over periods of time that could be materially affected by fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates.



Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures



At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes to internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

On February 2, 2007 the Companys wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary MGC Resources Inc. (MGC") entered into a drill contract with Derex Drilling Services Ltd. (Derex), a British Columbia corporation, to provide drilling services for the Midway project and MGC paid Derex a deposit of US$50,000.  Derex did not provide the drilling services on a timely basis and by May 2007 MGC filed a civil complaint alleging breach of contract and MGC filed and was granted a writ of attachment against the drill rig which had been left unattended on the Midway property and was the only known asset of Derex in the United States.  MGC presented the writ of attachment to the Nye County Sheriff for execution and the Sheriff engaged a towing company to remove the drill rig and deliver it to storage.  On May 10, 2007 the towing company driver was involved in an accident while moving the drill rig, causing extensive damage to the drill rig.



On or about May 14, 2007 Derex returned to MGC the US$50,000 deposit and MGC dismissed the complaint alleging breach of contract.  MGC had heard nothing further about this matter until on May 5, 2009 when MGC was named as a defendant to a civil complaint filed in federal court in Nevada (the Complaint).  The Complaint was filed by ING Novex Insurance Company of Canada (ING) against MGC, the tow truck driver, the towing company and the Nye County Sheriffs office (the ING Defendants) to recover damages and attorneys fees and



41



---





costs under its subrogation rights for having reimbursed Derex for the value of the drill rig under a policy of insurance.  In its Complaint, ING asserts claims against MGC for negligence, wrongful attachment and unjust enrichment.



While ING has alleged that the value of the drill rig was approximately US$200,000, the amount of the potential damages cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and the occurrence of the confirming future event is not determinable.  On June 22, 2009 MGC filed a motion to dismiss INGs Complaint.  ING filed a response on July 15, 2009.  MGC filed a reply on July 31, 2009.  There is no specific timetable for the Nevada court to consider MGCs motion to dismiss.   The outcome of this matter is not determinable at present.



Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

There are no material changes, except as disclosed below, from the risk factors previously disclosed in Midways Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2009 with the SEC.



We have no cash flow from operations and depend on equity financing for our operations.



Our current operations do not generate any cash flow. Any work on our properties may require additional equity financing. If we seek funding from existing or new joint venture partners, our project interests will be diluted. If we seek additional equity financing, the issuance of additional shares will dilute the current interests of our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional funding to allow us to fulfill our obligations on existing exploration properties. Our failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible partial or total loss of our potential interest in certain properties or dilution of our interest in certain properties which would have a material adverse effect on our business.





Item 2.

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Since the beginning of the period covered by this report, we have reported all issuances of unregistered equity securities on current reports filed on Form 8-K.



Item 3.

Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.



Item 4.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

None.



Item 5.

Other information.

None.



Item 6.
