Explanatory Note



Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. has filed this amended Form 20-F in order to primarily correct and clarify the material United States Federal income tax considerations to U.S. holders of our shares as disclosed on the Companys Form 20-F for the 15 month period ended April 30, 2007.



Although a number of clarifications and updates have been made to items throughout this amended Form 20-F, the primary area corrected is Item 10, Section 10.E. Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.  Our original Form 20-F for the 15 month period ended April 30, 2007, contained references to sections, which had previously been repealed, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  As such, the material in question has either been removed in its entirety or corrected to reflect current law.



The information set forth in this Annual Report on amended Form 20-F (the Annual Report) is as at April 30, 2007, unless an earlier or later date is indicated.



Financial information in this amended Annual Report is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.  Measurement differences between accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and in the United States, as applicable to Petaquilla Minerals Ltd., are set forth in Item 5 of this Annual Report and in Note 22 to the accompanying Financial Statements of Petaquilla Minerals Ltd.



This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws.  These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled Risk Factors, that may cause our or our industrys actual results, levels of activity performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.



Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.



Statements in this Annual Report regarding expected completion dates of feasibility studies, anticipated commencement dates of mining or metal production operations, including when our Molejon project is anticipated to begin production, projected quantities of future metal production and anticipated production rates, operating efficiencies, costs and expenditures are forward-looking statements.  Actual results could differ materially depending upon the availability of materials, equipment, required permits or approvals and financing, the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions, the accuracy of reserve estimates, lower than expected ore grades or the failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications.  See Item 3  Key Information  3.D. Risk Factors for other factors that may affect our future financial performance.

GLOSSARY OF MINING TERMS



The following is a glossary of some of the terms used in the mining industry and referenced herein:



Commission - United States Securities and Exchange Commission.



copper equivalent - a method of presenting combined copper and gold concentrations or weights for comparison purposes.  Commonly involves expressing gold as its proportionate value in copper based on the relative value of the two metals.  When copper equivalent is used to express metal sold, the calculation is based on actual prices received.  When grades are expressed in copper equivalent, the relative recoveries of the two metals are also taken into account.



cutoff grade - deemed grade of mineralization, established by reference to economic factors, above which material is included in mineral deposit calculations and below which material is considered waste.  May be either an external cutoff grade, which refers to the grade of mineralization used to control the external or design limits of an open pit based upon the expected economic parameters of the operation, or an internal cutoff grade, which refers to the minimum grade required for blocks of mineralization present within the confines of an open pit to be included in mineral deposit estimates.



diamond drill - a machine designed to rotate under pressure an annular diamond-studded cutting tool to produce a more or less continuous solid sample (drill core) of the material that is drilled.



epithermal - a term applied to those mineral deposits formed in and along fissures or other openings in rocks by deposition at shallow depths from ascending hot solutions.



indicated reserves or probable reserves - reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for measured or proven reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced.  The degree of assurance, although lower than that for measured reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.



junior resource company - as used herein means a company whose mineral resource properties are in the exploration phase only and which is wholly or substantially dependent on equity financing or joint ventures to fund its ongoing activities.



measured reserves or proven reserves - reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling; and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geological character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well established.



mineral deposit,deposit or mineralized material - a mineralized body which has been physically delineated by sufficient drilling, trenching and/or underground work, and found to contain a sufficient average grade of metal or metals to warrant further exploration and/or development expenditures.  Such a deposit does not qualify under Commission standards as a commercially mineable ore body or as containing ore reserves, until final legal, technical and economic factors have been resolved.



molybdenite - the mineral MoS2, or molybdenum sulphide, which is the principal ore of molybdenum.



open pit mining - the process of mining an ore body from the surface in progressively deeper steps.  Sufficient waste rock adjacent to the ore body is removed to maintain mining access and to maintain the stability of the resulting pit.

ore - a natural aggregate of one or more minerals which, at a specified time and place, may be mined and sold at a profit, or from which some part may be profitably separated.



ounces - troy ounces.



oz/tonne - troy ounces per metric ton.



ppb - parts per billion.



ppm - parts per million.



porphyry deposit - a disseminated mineral deposit often closely associated with porphyritic intrusive rocks.



recoverable ounces and recoverable pounds - means the amount of metal produced from diluted mineable reserves after taking into account milling losses and based, in the case of the Petaquilla Property, on projected average recoveries of (i) 90% for copper, 65% for gold and 72% for molybdenite, in the case of production estimates by Kilborn Engineering (Pacific) Ltd. and (ii) 90% for copper, 60% for gold from the Molejon deposit, 65% for gold from the other deposits and 65% for molybdenite, in the case of production estimates by Fluor Daniel Wright Ltd. and (iii) 90% for copper, 58% for gold and 62% for molybdenite, in the case of production estimates by H.A. Simons Ltd.



reserve - that part of a mineral deposit which can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.  Reserves are customarily stated in terms of "ore" when dealing with metalliferous minerals.



stockwork - a rock mass so interpenetrated by small veins of ore that the whole must be mined together.  Stockworks are distinguished from tabular or sheet deposits, i.e. veins or beds, which have a small thickness in comparison with their extension in the main plane of the deposit.



strike length - the longest horizontal dimensions of a body or zone of mineralization.



stripping ratio - the ratio of waste material to ore that is experienced in mining an ore body.



tonne - metric ton (2,204 pounds).

This Form 20-F is being filed as an annual report under the Exchange Act and, as such, there is no requirement to provide the information called for by this item.



3.D.  Risk Factors



We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in our securities. The occurrence of any of the following events could harm us. If these events occur, the trading price of our common shares could decline, and investors may lose part or even all of their investment.



Risks related to our development, exploration, construction and mining operations could adversely affect our business.



We are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploration management, development and sale of mineral properties, with the primary aim of developing them to a stage where they can be exploited at a profit.  Our property interests are in the exploration stage only, with the exception of the Molejon gold property, and are without a known body of commercial ore.  The Molejon gold deposit, located in the Cerro Petaquilla mining concession, hereinafter referred to as the Petaquilla concession, is in the advanced development and pre-production phase.  Although an open pit mine is planned and construction of a gold plant is currently underway at the Molejon gold property for the processing of gold-bearing ores, there is no guarantee we will realize any profits in the short to medium term.  Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating mineral reserves, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors.



The business of exploring for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk.  Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  In developing our mineral deposits, we will be subjected to an array of complex economic factors and accordingly there is no assurance that a positive feasibility study or any projected results contained in a feasibility study of a mineral deposit will be attained.



|                                                  |        
|------------------------------------------------- | -------
|Amended Form 20-F for 15 Months Ended 2007 Apr 30 | Page 13





---

Our ability to meet timing and cost estimates for properties cannot be assured.  Technical considerations, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, inability to obtain financing or other factors could cause delays in developing properties and such delays could materially adversely affect our financial performance.



The business of mining is subject to a variety of risks such as cave-ins and other accidents, flooding, environmental hazards, the discharge of toxic chemicals and other hazards.  Such occurrences may delay production, increase production costs or result in liability.  We will obtain insurance in amounts that we consider to be adequate to protect ourselves against certain risks of mining and processing.  However, we may become subject to liability for hazards against which we cannot insure ourselves or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons.  In particular, we are not insured for environmental liability nor earthquake damage.



In order to develop the Molejon gold property located in Panama, it will be necessary to continue construction of electrical, transportation, and other infrastructure facilities, the costs of which could be substantial.



Our estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs may be inaccurate, which could impact our results of operations in the future.



Although the ore reserve and mineral deposit figures included herein, some of which, as noted, are not compliant with National Instrument Policy 43-101, have been carefully prepared by us, or, in some instances have been prepared, reviewed or verified by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of minerals from ore reserves will in fact be realized or that an identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) ore body which can be legally and economically exploited.  Further development, drilling and other engineering analyses are required in order to have any of our reserves classified as proven resources.  Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions.  In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results.  Short-term factors relating to ore reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations.  There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small-scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions.  Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects.  Ore reserves are reported as general indicators of mine life.  Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations.



Our properties may be subject to undetected title defects.



It is possible there may be undetected title defects affecting our properties.  Title insurance generally is not available, and our ability to ensure that we have obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained.  Furthermore, we have not conducted surveys of the claims in which we hold interests and, therefore, the precise area and location of such claims may be in doubt.  Accordingly, our properties may be subject to prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects which could have a material adverse impact on our operations.  In addition, we may be unable to operate our properties as permitted or to enforce our rights with respect to our properties.

Our directors may have conflicts of interest.



As at August 1, 2008, all of our directors are directors of other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation, which could result in competitive harm to our company.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  In accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, our directors are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of our company.  In determining whether or not we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to our company, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and our financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to prevent conflicts of interest.



Exchange rate fluctuations may effectively increase our costs of exploration and production.



Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that we incur in our operations. The appreciation of non-U.S. dollar currencies against the U.S. dollar can increase the cost of exploration and production in U.S. dollar terms, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability, results of operations and financial condition.



We are dependent upon additional funding in order to sustain our operations.



We have not generated cash flow from operations in the past and, although the Company is preparing for production at the Molejon gold property, cash flow to satisfy our operational requirements and cash commitments is not guaranteed from the operations of the Molejon gold plant.  In the past, we have relied on sales of equity securities or debt financing to meet most of our cash requirements, together with project management fees, property payments and sales or joint ventures of properties.  There can be no assurance that funding from these sources will be sufficient in the future to satisfy our operational requirements and cash commitments.



We do not presently have sufficient financial resources to undertake all of our planned exploration and development programs.  The development of our properties depends upon our ability to obtain financing through any or all of the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the required financing.  Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause us to forfeit our interest in our properties and reduce or terminate our operations on such properties.  Accordingly, in their report on the consolidated financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2007, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.



Our company has a history of losses and there is substantial uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.



We have incurred net losses to date.  Our deficit as of April 30, 2007, was $79,521,082.  We have not yet had any revenue from the exploration activities on our properties.  The Molejon Property is our first property development activity. Even if we undertake development activity on any of our properties, including the Molejon Property, we may continue to incur losses beyond the period of commencement of such activity.  There is no certainty that we will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future and recent significant increases in metal commodity prices may not be sustainable.  They may not be reliable as indicators of future consistent realizable values, should any of PTQs mineral deposits reach commercial production.

The requirements of the Ley Petaquilla may have an adverse impact on our company.



Our operations in Panama are governed primarily by Law No. 9 of the Legislative Assembly of Panama (the Ley Petaquilla), a project-specific piece of legislation enacted in February 1997 to deal with the orderly development of the Petaquilla concession, including the Molejon gold deposit.  The Ley Petaquilla granted a mineral exploration and exploitation concession to Minera Petaquilla, S.A. (Minera Petaquilla), a Panamanian company formed in 1997 to hold the Petaquilla mineral concession covering approximately 136 square kilometers in north-central Panama.



The Ley Petaquilla contains fiscal and legal stability clauses necessary in order to obtain project financing and includes tax exemptions on income, dividends and imports.  The Ley Petaquilla also provides for an increase in the annual available infrastructure tax credit, higher depreciation rates for depreciable assets, which cannot be used in the infrastructure tax credit pool, and a favorable depletion allowance.



In order to maintain the Petaquilla concession in good standing, Minera Petaquilla must pay to the Government of Panama an annual rental fee of US $1.00 per hectare during the first five years of the concession, US $2.50 per hectare in the sixth to the tenth years of the concession and US $3.50 per hectare thereafter.  Initially, the annual rental was approximately US $13,600 payable by Minera Petaquilla and funded pro rata by its shareholders.  The current annual rental is approximately US $34,000.  The concession was granted for a 20-year term with up to two 20-year extensions permitted subject to the requirement to begin mine development and to make a minimum investment described below.



Under the Ley Petaquilla, Minera Petaquilla was required to begin mine development by May 2001.  However, Minera Petaquilla was able to defer commencing development operations for one month for every month that the price of copper remained below US$1.155 per pound for up to a further five years (i.e. until May 2006 at the latest).  The Ley Petaquilla also requires Minera Petaquilla to make a minimum investment of US $400 million in the development of the Petaquilla concession lands.



Up until October 18, 2006, we, through are then wholly-owned subsidiary, Georecursos Internacional, S.A., owned 52% of Minera Petaquilla and Minnova (Panama) Inc. (Minnova), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inmet Mining Corporation (Inmet), owned the remaining 48%.  For a more detailed ownership explanation, please refer to Item 4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment - Title.



We have a history of net losses, an accumulated deficit and a lack of revenue from operations.



We have incurred net losses to date.  Our deficit as of May 31, 2008, was $83,865,382.  We have not yet had any revenue from the exploration activities on our properties.  The Molejon gold property is our first property development activity. Even if we undertake development activity on any of our properties, including the Molejon gold property, we may continue to incur losses beyond the period of commencement of such activity.  There is no certainty that we will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future and recent significant increases in metal commodity prices may not be sustainable.  They may not be reliable as indicators of future consistent realizable values, should any of our mineral deposits reach commercial production.

We have limited experience with development-stage mining operations.



We have limited experience in placing resource properties into production and our ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise.  There can be no assurance that we will have available to us the necessary expertise when and if we place our resource properties into production.  There also exists significant risk in being able to recruit experienced employees or contractors to allow us to move forward in pursuing development-stage mining operations.



Our common shares are subject to penny stock rules, which could affect trading in our shares.



Our common shares are classified as penny stock as defined in Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act.  In response to perceived abuse in the penny stock market generally, the Exchange Act was amended in 1990 to add new requirements in connection with penny stocks.  In connection with effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker or dealer must give the customer a written risk disclosure document that (a) describes the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading, (b) describes the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and the rights and remedies available to such customer with respect to violations of such duties, (c) describes the dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices, (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary histories of brokers and dealers, and (e) defines significant terms used in the disclosure document or the conduct of trading in penny stocks.  In addition, the broker-dealer must provide to a penny stock customer a written monthly account statement that discloses the identity and number of shares of each penny stock held in the customers account, and the estimated market value of such shares.  The extensive disclosure and other broker-dealer compliance related to penny stocks may result in reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common shares, thus limiting the ability of our shareholder to sell their shares.



We face strong competition for the acquisition of mining properties.



Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral property acquisition opportunities available.  As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than we have, we may be unable to acquire additional attractive mineral properties on terms we consider acceptable.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our exploration and acquisition programs will yield any new reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.



Mineral prices can fluctuate dramatically and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.



The mining industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, a profitable market will exist for the sale of same.  Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered.  The prices of minerals such as gold have experienced volatile and significant price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies), interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns (such as the development of gold coin programs), speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods.  The supply of and demand for minerals such as gold is affected by various factors, including political events, economic conditions and production costs in major producing regions and governmental policies with respect to holdings by a nation or its citizens.  There can be no assurance that the price of recovered minerals will be such that our properties can be mined at a profit.

We face risks related to our operations in foreign countries.



Currently our only properties are located in Panama.  Consequently, we are subject to certain risks associated with foreign ownership, including currency fluctuations, inflation, political instability and political risk.  Mineral exploration and mining activities in foreign countries may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mining industry.  Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, restriction of earnings distribution, taxation laws, expropriation of property, environmental legislation, water use and mine safety.  In particular, the status of Panama as a developing country may make it more difficult for us to obtain any required production financing for our properties from senior lending institutions.



Our operations are subject to environmental and other regulation.



Our current or future operations, including development activities and commencement of production on our properties, require permits from various governmental authorities and such operations are and will be subject to laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety, community services and other matters.  Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.  There can be no assurance that approvals and permits required to commence production on our various properties will be obtained.  Additional permits and studies, which may include environmental impact studies conducted before permits can be obtained, may be necessary prior to operation of the properties in which we have interests and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to commence construction, development or operation of mining facilities at these properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs.



Our potential mining and processing operations and exploration activities in Panama are subject to various federal and provincial laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety, community services and other matters.  Such operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies and may require that we obtain permits from various governmental agencies.  We believe we are in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities.  There can be no assurance, however, that all permits we may require for construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations would not have a material adverse effect on any mining project we might undertake.



Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.



Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on us and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

To the best of our knowledge, we are currently operating in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations.



We face political risks in Panama.



Mineral exploration and mining activities in Panama may be affected in varying degrees by political conditions and government regulations relating to the mining industry.  Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business.  Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.



We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.



All of our available funds will be invested to finance the growth of our business and, therefore, investors cannot expect and should not anticipate receiving a dividend on our common shares in the foreseeable future.



U.S. investors may not be able to enforce their civil liabilities against us or our directors, controlling persons and officers.



Our company and our officers and directors are residents of countries other than the United States, and all of our assets are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or enforce in the United States against such persons judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or state securities laws.



We believe that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was recognized by a Canadian court for such purposes.  However, there is doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon such laws.

We have not made a determination as to whether we are considered a PFIC as such term is defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current tax year and any prior tax years.  A non-U.S. corporation generally will be considered a PFIC for any tax year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.



In general, if we are or become a PFIC, any gain recognized on the sale of our common stock and any excess distributions (as specifically defined in the Code) paid on the common stock must be ratably allocated to each day in a U.S. taxpayers holding period for the common stock.  The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to prior years of such U.S. taxpayers holding period for the common stock generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax applicable to ordinary income in each such prior year, and the U.S. taxpayer will be required to pay interest on the resulting tax liability for each such prior year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such prior year.  For more information, see Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences-Passive Foreign Investment Company.

---



In addition, during the period March 15, 2006 to October 18, 2006, we held all the issued shares of Petaquilla Copper Ltd. (Copper), which was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on March 15, 2006, in order to take part in a proposed Plan of Arrangement (the Arrangement) with our company.  As a wholly owned subsidiary of our company during this period, Copper had no operations.  Pursuant to shareholder approval of the Arrangement obtained at our Annual and Special General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) held on June 6, 2006, we and Copper entered into the Arrangement effectively separating our assets into two distinct companies on October 18, 2006.  While we retained our gold assets, we transferred our indirect 52% interest (subject to Teck Cominco Limited's (Teck) right to acquire 50% of such interest) in the copper deposits held by Minera Petaquilla, S.A. to Copper.  Immediately following the completion of the Arrangement, we owned 20% of the issued shares of Copper.  As at August 1, 2008, PTQ held approximately 12.70% of the issued shares of Copper.  As of December 31, 2007, Copper has been trading under the symbol PTC on the Toronto Stock Exchange.



Acquisition of the Petaquilla Concession, Panama



Until October 18, 2006, we held a 52% interest in the copper deposits of the Petaquilla concession and such interest was subject to the right of Teck Cominco Limited to acquire 50%, as more fully described under "Item 4 - Information on Our Company  4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment".



Financing Agreement with Teck Corporation



By agreement dated April 29, 1991, we entered into a financing agreement (the "Teck Agreement") with Teck Corporation (now Teck Cominco Limited) of Vancouver, British Columbia, under which we agreed to grant to Teck Cominco Limited the right to earn 50% of, among other things, our interest in the Petaquilla Property by funding our obligations with respect to exploration and development of such property.  On October 18, 2006, we transferred our 52% interest in the copper deposits of the Petaquilla concession to Petaquilla Copper Ltd.  Pursuant to the Teck Agreement, we are obligated to offer to enter into an agreement with Teck Cominco Limited on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Teck Agreement with respect to any mineral property interests acquired by us after the date of the Teck Agreement (each such acquired mineral property interest is a "Project").



Under the Teck Agreement, if we elect to prepare a preliminary feasibility study with respect to a Project, then upon completion of the study, we must present the preliminary feasibility study to Teck Cominco Limited.  Teck Cominco Limited may then elect, within 90 days from receipt of the preliminary feasibility study, to prepare (or cause to be prepared), within 24 months after receipt of the preliminary feasibility study, a final feasibility study at Teck Cominco Limited's cost (including the cost of any further exploration work as may be necessary to complete the final feasibility study).  Teck Cominco Limited may then elect, within 90 days after receipt of the final feasibility study, to exercise its right to finance the Project.  If Teck Cominco Limited so elects, we will be obligated to transfer 50% of our interest in the Project to Teck Cominco Limited.  In addition, Teck Cominco Limited will have the right to become a member of any joint venture which is overseeing or otherwise conducting Project operations or to become the operator of the Project, subject to our existing contractual requirements in respect of the Project.  Teck Cominco Limited's failure to exercise its right with respect to a particular Project does not preclude it from exercising that right at some future date in respect of other Projects.  If, however, Teck Cominco Limited elects not to proceed after receiving a preliminary feasibility study or does not elect to provide or arrange financing for a particular Project within 90 days after the completion of a final feasibility study, Teck Cominco Limited will be deemed to have surrendered and abandoned its right to finance that Project and acquire any interest therein.  In addition, at any time prior to the commencement of commercial production, Teck Cominco Limited may elect to abandon and surrender its interest in the Project by notifying us of such election.

|------------------------------------------------- | -------
|Amended Form 20-F for 15 Months Ended 2007 Apr 30 | Page 21





---

If Teck Cominco Limited elects to prepare a final feasibility study and to provide production financing, we are not required to incur any further expenditures to bring the Project into commercial production.  However, all costs incurred by Teck Cominco Limited will be reimbursed to Teck Cominco Limited prior to us receiving any proceeds from production, as described below.



Once the Project has been placed into commercial production, the aggregate net proceeds available to us and Teck Cominco Limited are to be distributed in the following manner:



(1)

first, to repay third party debt financing;



(2)

thereafter, 100% of the net proceeds are to be paid to Teck Cominco Limited until all costs incurred by Teck Cominco Limited from the time of completion of a final feasibility study (including costs related to the financing) together with an amount sufficient to fully discharge and release Teck Cominco Limited from certain obligations and liabilities with respect to the property are paid;



(3)

thereafter, 50% of the net proceeds will be utilized to reimburse the parties other exploration and development costs and the remaining 50% will be divided equally between Teck Cominco Limited and our company; and



(4)

thereafter, 100% of the net proceeds will be divided equally between Teck Cominco Limited and our company.



If we intend to sell or receive an offer to purchase all or any of our interest in a Project, Teck Cominco Limited has a right of first refusal to purchase same.  The Teck Agreement also provides that Teck Cominco Limited has a right of first refusal, subject to existing contractual requirements for consents and third party rights, to acquire on an abandonment, our remaining interest in a Project.  Teck Cominco Limited also has the right to participate, to the extent Teck Cominco Limited elects, in each equity financing undertaken by us prior to December 31, 2010.



It is our position that the Teck Agreement does not apply to other properties or interests held or acquired by us, either directly or indirectly, through our subsidiaries.



Molejon Property  Panama



In June 2005, the shareholders of Minera Petaquilla agreed to separate the gold deposit and other precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession from the copper mineral deposits within the Petaquilla mineral concession.  The agreement provides for PTQ, through its subsidiary, Petaquilla Gold, S.A., to own a 100% interest in the Molejon gold deposit, as well as all other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession, subject to a graduated 1% - 5% Net Smelter Return, based on the future gold price at the time of production, payable to Teck and Minnova as to 35.135% and 64.865% respectively.



In September 2005, the multi-phase Petaquilla Mine Development Plan submitted to the Government of Panama by Minera Petaquilla, S.A. was approved by Ministerial Resolution.  The Molejon gold mineral deposit forms part of the Petaquilla concession lands and the first phase of the Petaquilla Mine Development Plan focuses on the development of the Molejon gold deposit by our company commencing in 2006.  The development of the Petaquilla copper deposit is included in subsequent phases of the plan, and will be the responsibility of Minera Petaquilla S.A., the joint venture company held by Inmet and Petaquilla Copper Ltd. with interests of 48% and 52%, respectively, as at April 30, 2007.  As previously mentioned, Copper acquired this 52% interest in the Petaquilla copper deposit from our company pursuant to the  Plan of Arrangement effective October 18, 2006.   At the time of the Plan of Arrangement, Teck Cominco Limited retained its option to acquire one-half of Coppers interest and on March 28, 2008, Copper received notice from Teck of Tecks "Final Commitment" under the shareholders agreement between Copper, Teck and Inmet with respect to the Petaquilla Copper Project in Panama.  Copper has since commenced arbitration proceedings against Teck, on the basis that Teck had not fulfilled the preconditions necessary to exercise its option to acquire one half of Coppers interest in the property.  In addition, on July 28, 2008, Inmet formally commenced its unsolicited offer to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Copper, further to its announcement on July 6, 2008, of its intention to make the offer.  However, as previously stated, our company, aside from being a shareholder of Copper, has had no interest in the Petaquilla copper deposit since the Plan of Arrangement effected with Copper on October 18, 2006, and is not involved in any arbitration matters regarding the Petaquilla Copper Project nor is it the subject of any takeover bid.  We continue to operate under the Ley Petaquilla and hold the rights to the Molejon gold deposit as well as to other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla concession lands

Principal Capital Expenditures/Divestitures Over Last Three Fiscal Years



At April 30, 2007, we incurred $31,210,449 in Molejon property expenses and $26,006 in Rio Belencillo property expenses for a total of $31,236,455 that has been capitalized as mineral property costs.  On February 10, 2005, we sold 500,000 of our own shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange at a price of $0.65 per share.  These shares were previously issued and reacquired by us some years ago pursuant to an issuer bid.  Accordingly, there was no change to the number of shares issued and outstanding as a result of this sale.  The proceeds of the sale were directed towards general working capital purposes.



Current and Planned Capital Expenditures/Divestitures



We have either ongoing or anticipated significant capital expenditures or possible optioning of our property interests during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2009.  In relation to the planned exploration and development of the Molejon property, we anticipate having expenditures of approximately $35,000,000 to $45,000,000 during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2009.  However, these expenditures are subject to further analysis and to our ability to obtain financing.  There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining financing.

Public Takeover Offers



During the 13-month period ended May 31, 2008, and the previous 15-month fiscal period ended April 30, 2007, we did not receive any public takeover offers from third parties nor did we make any such takeover offers.



4.B.  Business Overview



We currently have no significant properties in Canada and we are not actively exploring, or seeking to acquire interests in, mineral properties in Canada.  Since our acquisition of an interest in the Petaquilla concession in Panama in 1992, our primary focus has been exploring and developing the Petaquilla concession, notably the Molejon gold deposit since our interest in the copper deposit of the Petaquilla concession was transferred to Petaquilla Copper Ltd. on October 18, 2006, and other mineral properties in the Republic of Panama.



We acquired our interest in the Petaquilla concession in 1992, 1993, and 2005 through two separate series of transactions and an unrelated agreement amongst the Minera Petaquilla, S.A. shareholders as more fully described under the heading Item 4 - Information on Our Company  4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment.



Our operations in Panama are governed primarily by Law No. 9 of the Legislative Assembly of Panama, a project-specific piece of legislation enacted in February 1997 to deal with the orderly development of the Petaquilla concession, including the Molejon gold deposit.  The Ley Petaquilla could be amended by the government of Panama through the enaction of a subsequent law but no such law has been enacted since the Ley Petaquilla legislation passed in February 1997.  At that time, the Ley Petaquilla granted a mineral exploration and exploitation concession to Minera Petaquilla, S.A., a Panamanian company formed in 1997 to hold the Petaquilla mineral concession covering approximately 136 square kilometers in north-central Panama.



The Ley Petaquilla contains fiscal and legal stability clauses necessary in order to obtain project financing and includes tax exemptions on income, dividends and imports.  The Ley Petaquilla also provides for an increase in the annual available infrastructure tax credit, higher depreciation rates for depreciable assets, which cannot be used in the infrastructure tax credit pool, and a favourable depletion allowance.



There were no competing bidders for the concession at the time the Ley Petaquilla was enacted and the concession was granted for an initial 20-year term with two 20-year extensions permissible subject to the requirements to begin mine development and to make a minimum required investment.  In order to maintain the Petaquilla concession in good standing, Minera Petaquilla must meet certain obligations as more fully described under Item 3  Key Information  3.D. Risk Factors  The requirements of the Ley Petaquilla may have an adverse impact on our company.



In 2005, pursuant to the contract law under which the Petaquilla mineral concession was granted by the Government of the Republic of Panama, we and our partners delivered a phased Mine Development Plan to the Government of Panama.  This phased Mine Development Plan was approved in September 2005.    This approval resulted in the extension of the land tenure for an initial 20-year period commencing September 2005, subject to Minera Petaquilla meeting certain other ongoing development and operational conditions.

Teck is committed to annually make a final commitment respecting development of the concession and to deliver an update to the feasibility study of the concession.  The requirement to make a final commitment or give notice of unfavorable economic conditions within 90 days of delivery of the final feasibility study applies to all subsequent annual anniversaries.  Failure to make such a commitment or deliver a notice shall result in the termination of Tecks right to acquire an interest in Minera Petaquilla, S.A.



In April 2005, we and Inmet agreed to a one-year waiver of Tecks obligation to make a final commitment respecting development of the concession and to deliver an updated feasibility study.  This waiver did not affect Tecks obligation to make a final commitment respecting development of the concession and to deliver an updated feasibility study in 2006.



In May 2006, Teck commissioned AMEC Americas Limited (AMEC) to update the capital and operating cost estimates and the financial analysis originally prepared in January 1998 by Simons Mining Group for the Petaquilla Project 120,000 t/d Feasibility Study, on the Petaquilla concession.  AMECs scope of work included an update of the existing preproduction and sustaining capital costs, an update of the operating costs and an update of the financial model.  In addition, AMEC conducted five (5) stand-alone trade-off studies to consider opportunities to optimize the design of the project.  These studies related to a concentrate pipeline to a Pacific port, grid power supply alternatives, the use of larger trucks and shovels in the mine, the use of a single-line semi-autogenous and ball mill grinding circuit, and the use of larger flotation cells.  Where applicable, the results of the trade-off studies were incorporated into the cost update.  The specific details of this Cost Update are not provided in this annual report as it relates to the development of the copper deposit by Minera Petaquilla, S.A., of which we are no longer a shareholder.



Upon Teck making a final commitment, Minnova is required to deliver a final commitment to participate in the development of the project or it will be required to dispose of its interest in Minera Petaquilla. Minnova is then required to either offer to sell its interest in the concession or accept an 8% net profit interest, as defined, in the project.  The offer to sell its interest shall be made first to Copper and then to Teck at a price to be determined by Minnova.  In the event that neither Copper nor Teck chooses to acquire Minnovas interest, Minnova shall be entitled to seek an independent purchaser of its interest on terms no more favorable than those offered to Copper and Teck.



Either Copper or Minnova (the Proposer) may at any time give notice to the other parties of its intention to proceed with development of the concession in accordance with the most recently delivered Teck feasibility study.  Upon receipt of such notice, Teck has 50 days in which to make a final commitment to develop the project. The other party, Copper or Minnova (the Recipient), has 60 days from the receipt of such notice to commit to develop the project.



If the Recipient has not agreed to develop the project, the Proposer may, within 70 days of the proposal, elect to exercise the Shotgun Offer, as defined, and either sell its interest or acquire the Recipients interest in Minera Petaquilla, for cash, based on the value of Minera Petaquilla as determined in accordance with the provisions of the agreement.  The Recipient has 15 days from receipt of the Shotgun Offer to agree either to sell its interest or to acquire the Proposers interest as applicable, and in the event that the Recipient does not take action within the 15-day period, it will thereafter be deemed to have agreed to sell its interest in Minera Petaquilla.



If Minnova sells its interest, pursuant to the Shotgun Offer, Copper shall pay Minnova 48% of the value of Minera Petaquilla.

If Copper sells its interest, pursuant to the Shotgun Offer, it shall receive 29% of the value of Minera Petaquilla on condition that, in the event that Tecks interest in the concession is terminated, Copper shall receive an additional 23% of the value of Minera Petaquilla.



If Tecks interest in the concession is not terminated and Copper sells its interest, pursuant to the Shotgun Offer, Copper shall not be entitled to receive any further amount, in excess of the 29% of the value received on account of the sale of its interest in Minera Petaquilla.



Upon exercise of the Shotgun Offer, Teck has 130 days in which to deliver a final commitment for development of the concession or its interest shall be terminated.



Tecks interest in the concession shall terminate on the earlier of:



i)

Teck electing to terminate its interest provided it has delivered its final feasibility study, or



ii)

Tecks failure to deliver a final commitment requesting development of the concession and to deliver an updated feasibility study.



In the event that Tecks interest is terminated, Teck shall retain a net profit royalty interest in the project at a rate to be determined.



Up until October 18, 2006, our company, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Georecursos Internacional, S.A., owned 52% of Minera Petaquilla and Minnova (Panama) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inmet Mining Corporation, owned the remaining 48%.  On October 18, 2006, we entered into a Plan of Arrangement with Petaquilla Copper Ltd. (Copper), whereby we effectively transferred our interest in the copper assets within the Petaquilla concession lands to Copper.  Under the terms of the Petaquilla Shareholders Agreement dated February 21, 1997, Teck Cominco Limited held an option, subject to its meeting certain obligations and requirements, to acquire one-half of Coppers newly-acquired interest in Minera Petaquilla, which would result in Teck having a 26% interest in Minera Petaquilla.  On March 28, 2008, Copper received notice from Teck of Tecks "Final Commitment" under the shareholders agreement between Copper, Teck and Inmet with respect to the Petaquilla Copper Project in Panama.  Copper has since commenced arbitration proceedings against Teck, on the basis that Teck had not fulfilled the preconditions necessary to exercise its option to acquire one half of Coppers interest in the property.  In addition, on July 28, 2008, Inmet formally commenced its unsolicited offer to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Copper, further to its announcement on July 6, 2008, of its intention to make the offer.  However, as previously stated, our company, aside from being a shareholder of Copper, has had no interest in the Petaquilla copper deposit since the Plan of Arrangement effected with Copper on October 18, 2006, and is not involved in any arbitration matters regarding the Petaquilla Copper Project nor are we the subject of any takeover bid.



We continue to operate under the Ley Petaquilla and hold the rights to the Molejon gold deposit as well as to other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla concession lands



Molejon Property  Panama



In June 2005, the shareholders of Minera Petaquilla agreed to separate the gold deposit and other precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession from the copper mineral deposits within the Petaquilla mineral concession.  The agreement provides for our company, through our subsidiary, Petaquilla Gold, S.A., to own a 100% interest in the Molejon gold deposit, as well as all other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession, subject to a graduated 1% - 5% Net Smelter Return, based on the future gold price at the time of production, payable to Teck and Minnova as to 35.135% and 64.865% respectively.

In September 2005, the multi-phase Petaquilla Mine Development Plan submitted to the Government of Panama by Minera Petaquilla, S.A. was approved by Ministerial Resolution.  The Molejon gold mineral deposit forms part of the Petaquilla concession lands and the first phase of the Petaquilla Mine Development Plan focuses on the development of the Molejon gold deposit by our company commencing in 2006.  The development of the Petaquilla copper deposit is included in subsequent phases of the plan, and will be the responsibility of Minera Petaquilla S.A., the joint venture company held by Inmet and Petaquilla Copper Ltd., with interests of 48% and 52%, respectively, as at April 30, 2007.  As previously mentioned, Copper acquired this 52% interest in the Petaquilla copper deposit from our company pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement effective October 18, 2006.   At the time of the Plan of Arrangement, Teck Cominco Limited retained its option to acquire one-half of Coppers interest and on March 28, 2008, Copper received notice from Teck of Tecks "Final Commitment" under the shareholders agreement between Copper, Teck and Inmet with respect to the Petaquilla Copper Project in Panama.  Copper has since commenced arbitration proceedings against Teck, on the basis that Teck had not fulfilled the preconditions necessary to exercise its option to acquire one half of Coppers interest in the property.

4.D.  Property, Plants and Equipment

All our properties are in the exploration stage only, except for the Molejon gold deposit on the Petaquilla concession lands, and are without a known body of commercial ore.  The Molejon gold deposit is in the advanced development and pre-production phase.  Although an open pit mine is planned and construction of a gold processing plant is currently underway at the Molejon gold property, we currently have no mineral producing properties and have not had any revenue from any mineral producing properties in the last three fiscal years.

Petaquilla Concession, Panama

Introduction

The Petaquilla concession contains a large copper-gold porphyry system as well as an epithermal gold deposit, both amenable to open pit mining.  To date, exploration has identified eight copper-gold porphyry deposits along with one epithermal gold deposit.



During a portion of the period covered by this report, we owned, through our indirect share ownership in Minera Petaquilla, S.A. (Minera Petaquilla), the Panamanian company holding the rights to the Petaquilla concession, a 52% interest in the Petaquilla concession.  However, on October 18, 2006, we entered into a Plan of Arrangement with Petaquilla Copper Ltd. (Copper), whereby we effectively transferred our wholly-owned subsidiary, Georecursos Internacional, S.A. and, thereby, our interest in the copper assets within the Petaquilla concession lands to Copper.  Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Copper became a shareholder of Minera Petaquilla, S.A., the Panamanian company holding the rights to the Petaquilla concession.  However, we retained the rights to the Molejon gold deposit as well as to other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession lands and continues to operate under the Ley Petaquilla as does the joint venture company, Minera Petaquilla.  For a more detailed explanation, please refer toItem 4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment - Title.



As such, our development focuses on the Molejon gold deposit and the first phase of the mine development plan submitted and approved by the Government of Panama in 2005.  We have begun further exploration and development work for the purposes of a feasibility study on the Molejon gold deposit.  In addition, we intend to perform further exploration on other identified gold targets within the Petaquilla concession, and those within our wholly owned properties surrounding the Petaquilla concession.

Close-up of the 136-square kilometre Petaquilla concession with the Molejon area cross-hatched in red:



The Petaquilla concession alone covers approximately 136 square kilometers.  Minera Petaquilla, the Panamanian company holding the rights to the Petaquilla concession, is currently owned Copper, Teck and Inmet with interests of 26%, 26% and 48% respectively.  On March 28, 2008, Copper received notice from Teck of Tecks Final Commitment under the shareholders agreement between Copper, Teck and Inmet with respect to the Petaquilla Copper Project in Panama.  In April 2008, Copper announced it had delivered a Notice of Request to Arbitrate to Teck.  Copper has claimed that Teck failed to satisfy the conditions to earn 26% of the Petaquilla Copper Project and the matter remains outstanding.  In addition, On July 28, 2008, Inmet formally commenced its unsolicited offer to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Copper, further to its announcement on July 6, 2008, of its intention to make the offer.  However, as previously stated, we have had no interest in the Petaquilla copper deposit since the Plan of Arrangement effected with Copper on October 18, 2006, and are not involved in any agreements nor disputes regarding the Petaquilla Copper Project nor are we the subject of any takeover bid.  We hold the rights to the Molejon gold deposit as well as to other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla concession lands.  For a more detailed explanation, please refer to Item 4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment  Title.

The concession lands are located approximately 75 miles west of Panama City, six miles from the Caribbean coast and lie within the Donoso District of Colon Province of the Republic of Panama. The Petaquilla concession, specifically, is located 20 kilometres inland from the Caribbean coast and elevation within the concession boundaries ranges between 70 metres and 350 metres above sea level.  The Petaquilla concession falls within the rainfall shadow of the Continental Divide and the terrain is generally rugged and covered with heavy rainforest vegetation.  The climate of the Petaquilla concession is characteristic of tropical rainforests.  Precipitation is high throughout the year with annual rainfall averaging at least 4,700 mm in the concession area. The heaviest precipitation is evenly distributed from May to December and the months of January to April are typically the driest months.

Access to the Molejon gold property within the Petaquilla concession is by road or helicopter.  We have completed construction of the 28-kilometre Llano GrandeCoclesito dirt road from Coclesito, a village of approximately 700 inhabitants, to the mine site.  As part of the Llano Grande-Coclesito Road Improvement Project, the Cascajal Bridge has been completed and was inaugurated January 16, 2007, by the Minister of Public Works of Panama.  One more bridge spanning the San Juan River is also now complete.  This road replaces a network of trails, which was the previous access, and the new road portion will ultimately be upgraded to rural paved status as part of ongoing development work.  While the road has initially been designed to provide access to the mine site, it will ultimately comprise part of a future expansion of the national road network connecting communities with the region.  Thirty kilometres of gravel road connects Coclesito with La Pintada, a town of 5,000 people on the country's paved highway network, and the Pan-American Highway to the south.  This road will also be upgraded to rural paved status as part of ongoing development work.

Plants and Equipment

In January 2005, a base camp was erected at the Molejon gold deposit to facilitate the exploration and development program being carried out on the Molejon gold deposit.  Currently, a gold-processing surface plant that will initially utilize three ball mills and a carbon-in-pulp processing facility is under construction.  The ball mills are completely mounted on their support platforms, have been NDT (non-destructive testing) checked and are awaiting lining and motor installation.  The foundation for the ball mill feed bins is 60% complete and awaiting delivery of heavy steel beams for bin construction.  Construction of the leach tanks has completed and an x-ray NDT check on welds will be completed shortly along with on-site assembly of the agitation systems.  The construction of the carbon-in pulp tanks has also completed and assembly of the agitation and screening system, which has already arrived in Panama, will follow.  Pulp and tailings thickeners construction has completed and the assembly of the rotation and rakes system is underway.  Both the ADR plant building and the CN detox system are 80% complete.  The carbon, acid wash and elution columns are mounted, the regeneration kiln structure and frames are mounted, and the four gen-sets are in place pending control room completion.  The crushing plant crushers and vibratory screens are complete and on site and we await the arrival of the scrubber and conveyor belts.  The emergency pond is near completion pending HDPE lining and tailings dam no. 2 is 70% complete pending dam wall completion and HDPE lining. Tailings dam no. 1 is 20% complete.

Construction personnel are currently working in four shifts 24-hours per day, 7 days per week.  Commissioning of the Molejon gold plant is expected by November 2008.

Title



Petaquilla Concession  Panama



Prior to October 18, 2006, we owned, through our indirect share ownership in Minera Petaquilla, a 52% interest in the Petaquilla concession.  Specifically, our companys 52% ownership of Minera Petaquilla was held through our wholly owned subsidiary of Georecursos Internacional, S.A. (Georecursos).  On October 18, 2006, we entered into a Plan of Arrangement with Copper, whereby we effectively transferred ownership of Georecursos to Copper, and, thereby, our interest in the copper assets within the Petaquilla concession lands to Copper.  Immediately following the completion of the Arrangement, we owned 20% of the issued shares of Copper.  As at August 22, 2008, we held approximately 12.70% of the issued shares of Copper.  Pursuant to the Arrangement, Copper became a shareholder of Minera Petaquilla, the Panamanian company holding the rights to the Petaquilla concession.



When we held a 52% interest in Minera Petaquilla and, thus a 52% interest in the Petaquilla concession, Teck had the right under the Petaquilla Shareholders Agreement dated February 21, 1997, to acquire 50% of our interest, subject to satisfaction of various requirements, including the preparation and funding of a final bankable feasibility study and the provision for financing 52% of all costs through to production.  By way of the Arrangement, Copper became a party to the shareholders agreement  and continuing under the terms of the shareholders agreement Teck retained the option to acquire one-half of Coppers newly-acquired interest in Minera Petaquilla, which would result in Teck having a 26% interest in Minera Petaquilla.  The remaining 48% of Minera Petaquilla was owned by Minnova, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inmet.



On March 28, 2008, Copper received notice from Teck of Tecks "Final Commitment" under the shareholders agreement among Copper, Teck and Inmet with respect to the Petaquilla Copper Project in Panama.  Copper has since commenced arbitration proceedings against Teck, on the basis that Teck had not fulfilled the preconditions necessary to exercise its option to acquire one half of Coppers interest in the property.  In addition, on July 28, 2008, Inmet formally commenced its unsolicited offer to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Copper, further to its announcement on July 6, 2008, of its intention to make the offer.  However, as previously stated, we have had no interest in the Petaquilla copper deposit since the Arrangement effected with Copper on October 18, 2006, and are not involved in any agreements or disputes regarding the Petaquilla Copper Project nor are we the subject of any takeover bid.

We retain the rights to the Molejon gold deposit as well as to other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that may be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession lands and continue to operate under the Ley Petaquilla as does the joint venture company, Minera Petaquilla.



Molejon Property  Panama

With the above noted and as per the Molejon Gold Project Agreement dated June 2, 2005, the shareholders of Minera Petaquilla agreed to separate the gold deposit and other precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession from the copper mineral deposits within the Petaquilla mineral concession.  The agreement provides for our company, through our subsidiary, Petaquilla Gold, S.A., to own a 100% interest in the Molejon gold deposit, as well as all other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession, subject to a graduated 1% - 5% Net Smelter Return, based on the future gold price at the time of production, payable to Teck and Minnova, as to 35.135% and 64.865% respectively.



Pursuant to the contract law under which the Petaquilla concession was granted by the Government of the Republic of Panama, our company with our then partners delivered a phased Mine Development Plan to the Government of Panama.  In September 2005, the multi-phase Petaquilla Mine Development Plan submitted to the Government of Panama by Minera Petaquilla was approved by Ministerial Resolution.  This approval resulted in the extension of the land tenure for an initial 20 year period commencing September 2005, subject to Minera Petaquilla meeting certain other development and operational conditions on an ongoing basis. The land tenure provides for two additional 20-year terms that are also subject to Minera Petaquilla meeting certain other ongoing development and operational conditions.



The Molejon gold mineral deposit, owned 100% by our company, forms part of the Petaquilla concession lands and the first phase of the Petaquilla Mine Development Plan focuses on the development of the Molejon gold deposit by our company commencing in 2006.  The development of the Petaquilla copper deposit is included in subsequent phases of the plan, and will be the responsibility of Minera Petaquilla S.A.

Mineral Properties  Other



We hold various interests in other land concession areas adjacent to the Petaquilla concession in Panama, including the Rio Belencillo and Rio Petaquilla concessions.

By an Agreement dated May 7, 2005, and amended on June 10, 2005, Gold Dragon has an option to purchase all of our companys interest in the Rio Belencillo and Rio Petaquilla concessions by the expenditure of $100,000 in approved exploration costs by May 7, 2007, an additional $400,000 in approved exploration costs by February 7, 2008, and by then paying us $1,152,400.  This sum is payable in shares of Gold Dragon.

Exploration History

The Petaquilla concession has been investigated since 1968 when the potential for copper porphyry mineral deposits within the area was first recognized by members of a United Nations Development Program team carrying out a regional geological and geochemical survey of central Panama.  The U.N. team subsequently completed 37 short diamond drill holes totaling 2,740 metres on the newly discovered Petaquilla, Botija and Vega deposits.  In July 1969, the Panamanian government tendered the exploration rights to the Petaquilla concession area to international bidders and, in July 1971, the concession was awarded to Panama Mineral Resources Development Co. Ltd. ("PMRD"), a consortium of seven Japanese copper companies.  An extensive drill program consisting of 51 diamond drill holes totaling 12,650 metres, followed by preliminary reserve calculations, metallurgical test work and a positive feasibility study (based on a mill rate of 18,000 tonnes/day) was completed on the Petaquilla and Botija deposits by PMRD in 1977, and was subsequently updated in 1979.  The project was abandoned thereafter due to difficulties in negotiating a development agreement with the then Panamanian government under the mining statute in effect at the time.

No further development occurred until the Petaquilla concession was granted to Georecursos Internacional, S.A., a former subsidiary of our company, in August 1991.

Neither the United Nations nor PMRD analyzed their drilling and surface sampling for gold.  As such, the only existing gold data is that accumulated by our company.  Drilling to date has shown that the distribution and intensity of gold values within mineralized zones varies directly with areas of elevated copper and depleted molybdenum contents.

Exploration - Results Obtained by Us or on Our Behalf

A program of rock sampling and geochemical surveying was carried out by Inmet Mining Corporation in late 1990, followed by the establishment of 60 line-miles of surveyed grid (the "Faldalito-Petaquilla grid").  After assuming operation of the Petaquilla concession in May 1992, we undertook a comprehensive exploration program involving line cutting, ground magnetic surveying, soil geochemistry and diamond drilling.  This work focused on corroborating the reported grade of copper-molybdenum mineralization in the Botija and Petaquilla deposits, evaluating their gold potential, testing their tonnage and grade potential along strike, to depth and up-dip, and carrying out the groundwork necessary for developing drill targets outside the limits of the two deposits.

The existing Faldalito-Petaquilla grid was extended east over the Botija deposit and south over the Vega area.  A total of 52.14 line-kilometres of additional grid were cut and surveyed between April and July 1992.  A total field magnetic survey was carried out over all cross lines and selected baselines of the grid in July and August of that year.  Soil samples were taken at 50 metre intervals in selected portions of the grid.  These included areas shown to be anomalous by the Faldalito-Petaquilla grid sampling, the surface trace of the Botija deposit, and part of the Vega area.  Soil samples were analyzed geochemically for gold, silver, copper and molybdenum.  Ten diamond drill holes, totaling 2,125 metres were drilled in August and September 1992 on the Botija and Petaquilla deposits.  The 1992 drilling gave a preliminary indication of gold distribution within the Petaquilla and Botija deposits and an indication of relative gold enrichment at the core of the Botija deposit and at the Southwest Zone of the Petaquilla deposit.

The bulk of the 1993 exploration program consisted of diamond drilling.  Forty-six holes totaling 10,297 metres were drilled on the Petaquilla, Botija, Botija Abajo and Vega deposits.  Approximately two-thirds was drilled on the Botija deposit, demonstrating the continuity of mineralization in the relatively high grade West/Main Zone and confirming that this zone remains well-mineralized and open down-dip to the north.  The systematic evaluation of mineralization in Botija's East Zone was begun and an initial hole in its Central Zone intersected grades and degrees of thickness in excess of those we initially expected.

Diamond drilling of the Petaquilla deposit focused on defining the extent and grade of near-surface copper-gold mineralization in the Southwest Zone.  Near the end of the program, alteration similar to the Southwest Zone was drilled in the west-central portion of the Petaquilla deposit and returned copper-gold grades similar to those of the Southwest Zone, indicating that this style of mineralization might be more widespread within the deposit.

Three other porphyry prospects, two of them newly-discovered, were drilled on the Petaquilla concession in 1993.  Two holes were drilled in the Vega area, confirming the existence of a large, mineralized porphyry system there.  Eleven holes were drilled on the Botija Abajo deposit, defining a zone of alteration and mineralization similar in appearance, grade and size to Petaquilla's Southwest Zone.  A single hole tested an extensive area of intense alteration with secondary chalcocite in the Brazo area.

Concurrent with this diamond drilling, a program of soil sampling, prospecting and geological mapping was carried out at the Botija Abajo, Brazo and Medio areas of the Petaquilla concession.

Our 1994 exploration program on the Petaquilla concession was successful in expanding reserves, discovering new deposits and outlining new, prospective zones of mineralization and anomalous geochemistry.  Reserves at the Petaquilla and Botija deposits were expanded and delineated by additional diamond drilling.  New zones of porphyry copper-gold and skarn mineralization were added to the existing mineralization at the Vega deposit.  Soil grid extensions, geological mapping and geophysics led to the discovery of a significant epithermal gold-silver deposit at Molejon.  The Molejon deposit is a structurally controlled, low-sulfidation, epithermal gold deposit.  The host rocks are felsic porphyritic rocks and breccias associated with extensive hydrothermal quartz/gold mineralization, emplaced during orogenesis.  Follow-up drilling at Brazo defined significant porphyry copper-gold mineralization.  Geological mapping and geochemical surveys established new zones of mineralization at Botija Norte and Lata.

Forty-five per cent of the 1994 drilling on the concession was directed at the Botija deposit.  Most of this was infill drilling in the West/Main zone and focused on upgrading the reserves to measured and indicated status.  Six successful drill holes in the Central zone added new reserves to the deposit.  Three of these holes bottomed in mineralization due to faulted ground.  One step-out hole drilled in the East zone extended the mineralized zone to the east.

The Petaquilla deposit received 2,448 metres of infill and stepout drilling in eight holes in 1994.  This drilling further defined reserves throughout the deposit.  Breccia bodies along the granodiorite-andesite contact have been noted as important controls for mineralization at this deposit, particularly in the Southwest zone.

Follow-up mapping and prospecting of the soil geochemical anomalies in the Rio Molejon area discovered gold mineralization in Quebrada Molejonose.  Following the discovery, 4,156 metres of drilling was completed.  The Molejon deposit consists of three sub-parallel, northeast-striking, gently southwest-dipping, quartz vein breccia zones in a sequence of feldspar-quartz porphyries and andesitic volcanics.  All three of these zones are exposed at, and remain near, the surface laterally and down-dip.  The altitude and location of these breccia zones should make them amenable to bulk-tonnage, open-pit mining with low stripping ratios.  The Molejon gold deposit also remains open laterally and down-dip.

Additional diamond drilling at the Vega deposit in 1994 added tonnage to the existing northwest-trending deposit and defined a new mineralized block 200 metres to the northwest of the previous block.  This deposit consists of porphyry copper-gold and skarn mineralization related to a brecciated andesite-granodiorite contact, similar to the breccias observed at the Petaquilla deposit.  During the 1995 diamond drilling program, the Valle Grande area northwest of the Vega deposit was drill-tested with 95 drill holes.  Encouraging results were obtained from this program with values of up to 0.94% copper, 0.09 g/t gold and 0.04% molybdenite over 97.0 meters in hole V95-210 and 1.09% copper, 0.07 g/t gold and 0.03% molybdenite over 182.3 meters in hole VG95-223.  As drilling continued through 1995, the Valle Grande deposit proved to be joined with the Vega deposit to form what is now known as the Valle Grande deposit.

Six more holes were drilled at the Brazo deposit to follow up on hole BR93-52, which intersected strongly mineralized quartz-feldspar-porphyry.  Drilling was conducted at an area of anomalous gold-molybdenum-copper soil geochemistry underlain by the Brazo feldspar-quartz porphyry.  This porphyry is argillically altered at surface and contains stockwork quartz veining with chalcopyrite, pyrite and secondary chalcocite.  The Brazo deposit remains open down-dip.  The deposit is hosted within the Brazo porphyry and andesitic volcanics that are phyllically to argillically altered and contain abundant stockwork quartz veining.  A blanket of secondary copper enrichment commonly overlies this deposit.

The Botija Abajo deposit is a porphyry copper-gold deposit that is very similar to the Brazo deposit and we consider that it may form part of the same mineralized system.  It is hosted within argillic to phyllic altered Brazo feldspar-quartz-porphyry and is truncated by the northeast-trending Brazo fault.  Secondary copper mineralization, as chalcocite, is also present at this deposit.  One drill hole was carried out on this deposit in 1994 and much of the geochemical anomaly that marks this deposit remains untested by drilling.

The Petaquilla, Valle Grande, Molejon, Brazo and Botija Abajo deposits appear related to intersecting structural trends.  The Petaquilla and Valle Grande lie along a northwest trend that is marked by magnetic anomalies.  The Botija Abajo, Brazo and Molejon deposits lie along a northeast trend also marked by magnetic anomalies.  These three deposits are located where this northeast-trending magnetic and soil geochemical anomaly is intersected by northwest-trending geochemical anomalies.

In addition to these deposits, there are several areas throughout the Petaquilla concession that our company considers merit further examination.  There are extensions to the Petaquilla geochemical anomaly in the Faldalito area that have not been fully tested.  Prospecting and extensions to the soil grid north of the Botija deposit have identified a large area of anomalous copper-gold-molybdenum soil geochemistry.  Andesitic volcanics intruded by altered and copper-mineralized porphyritic granodiorites have been mapped in the Botija Norte area.  Two drill holes were collared in this zone and intersected limited mineralization within altered granodiorites that are similar to those in the Botija deposit.

To the end of 1995, a total of 506 drill holes totaling 101,311 metres had been completed on Petaquilla concessions nine deposits (Petaquilla, Botija, Valle Grande, Molejon, Botija Abajo, Brazo, Nada, Faldalito and Cuatro Crestas) and various other mineral occurrences.  We had also completed prospecting and preliminary soil sampling on approximately 80% of the Petaquilla concession and ground magnetics surveying on approximately 70% of the Petaquilla concession by the end of 1995.

Between January and May 1996, a 120-hole program of feasibility study diamond drilling was carried out on the Petaquilla, Botija and Valle Grande deposits.  The program included approximately 36 condemnation holes at proposed sites for waste dumps, stockpiles, tailings facilities and the milling complex.  Throughout the rest of 1997, Teck Cominco Limited continued its work on the final feasibility study on these deposits as well as the Molejon gold deposit.  The 1997 feasibility study work program included:

(a)

sufficient additional drilling as is warranted to define starter pit reserves (copper-equivalent grade in excess of 0.7%) in the Rio Medio area and any other areas which might be discovered as a result of such drilling;

(b)

additional drilling of the Petaquilla deposit at spacing which accords with the search parameters used in the calculation of proven and probable mineable reserves;

(c)

detailed assessment of the Molejon deposit in the feasibility study both as part of the copper mining operations and as a stand-alone gold operation with additional drilling as set out in (b) above if required;

(d)

a test program of large diameter diamond drill core bulk sampling and metallurgical testing in at least two of the pit areas to determine whether this indicates a significant positive difference from previous metallurgical results, and appropriate follow-up work if it does; this work to include, at a minimum, a total of 20 tonnes of HQ size drill core from the Botija and Petaquilla pits (estimated to be approximately 3,200 metres of drilling); the identification of a pyrite depressant and other parameters to yield industry standard copper and moly recoveries in the bulk concentrate circuit; mini-scale (200kg/hour) piloting to produce bulk concentrate for cleaning testwork; confirmation of regrind size for bulk concentrate cleaning; mineralogy and flotation testing; analysis of the effect of grind size on metallurgical performance for the mining plan composites for use in optimization studies; confirmation of industry standard moly recovery (90%) in the copper-moly circuit and confirmation of moly concentrate impurity levels; completion of grinding index testwork (crushing, rod mill and ball mill Bond indices) for use in optimization studies; completion of ore abrasion index tests to confirm grinding steel consumption rates;

(e)

a comprehensive study of the relative advantages and disadvantages of land based and submarine tailings disposal, including economic, environmental and social considerations;

(f)

an assessment of the feasibility of dump leaching of prestripped saprolite and low grade material, having regard to consequent acid utilization and dispersal;

(g)

all environmental studies which are required in order to obtain commitments for project financing; and

(h)

optimization of mine and plant design and location, recalculation of reserves, and an assessment of operating costs and optimum throughput based on the results of the foregoing work; the final bankable feasibility study to include reserve calculations by two independent engineering consulting firms using such search parameters as each firm deems appropriate, as well as full mining plans and financial analyses based on the reserves calculated by each firm; these mining plans and financial analyses will assume mill throughput rates of 90,000 and 120,000 tonnes per day, and additional mining plans and analyses may be undertaken to examine increasing throughput during the mine life from 90,000 to 120,000 tonnes per day.

In December 2004, we resumed exploration and development of identified gold targets within the Petaquilla concession and, by January 2005, had a base camp established in preparation for a survey and trenching program.  The Molejon gold deposit was subsequently surveyed and trenched to better understand gold metallurgy and potential open pit configurations.  The topography of the Molejon property was mapped over a much wider area than previously and the information gathered was used in the next phase of designing the planned open pit.  With respect to the trenching program, in excess of 5,000 metres of trenching was completed in 2005 with over 3,000 samples collected and assayed.  The trenching program allowed us to better analyze the metallurgy, particularly the gold mineralization, occurring at the surface. The results provided information used to define the placement of drill holes as we advanced towards a feasibility study.

The first assay results received from the 2005 trenching program came from the initial test trenches on the Molejon Northwest Zone, an area which had never been tested with trenches before March 2005 although surface drilling in the 1990s had indicated a near surface gold resource.  The assay results were notable and led our technical team to believe that drilling of the Northwest Zone could lead to an expansion of the gold reserves at Molejon.  Shortly thereafter, we received favourable trenching results suggesting good continuity of gold mineralization in the Molejon Northwest Zone as the trenching program exposed contiguous, in situ gold mineralization from within a metre of the surface in the Northwest zone.  As these trenching results had shown high-grade gold shoots existed within the Northwest Zone, we re-sampled a selection of low and high-grade intersections in order to confirm the initial results.  The second sampling duplicated the initial assay results from the first channel samples.

In June 2005, we continued to receive encouraging gold values from the trenching program and, by August 2005, we released another set of high grade trenching results including assays of over 100 gr/t.  The trenching in August revealed that grades in the Main Zone of Molejon were higher than previously indicated, the 244 Area of the Main Zone returned grades in excess of 100 gr/t, the Northwest Zone had been expanded and is now over 340 metres across, the Northwest Zone had returned grades in excess of 40 gr/t, the Central zone had returned grades in excess of 18 gr/t, and new areas of mineralization had been discovered within the original pit boundaries.

In October 2005, we received a National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate on the Molejon gold deposit from SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (SRK).  SRK estimated inferred mineral resources at 0.5 g/t cut off were 11.2 million tonnes at 2.48 g/t Au.  Inferred mineral resources at 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 g/t Au cut-offs are included in the following table.

SRK found the drilling, sampling methods and approach, sample preparation, analysis, security (chain of custody), and quality assurance/quality control procedures (QA/QC) used during the exploration and delineation of the Molejon gold mineralization to be acceptable for resource estimation.

Based on the results of the resource estimate, SRK recommended that we proceed with the planned infill drill program, use the infill drill data along with twinned holes to revalidate the previous drilling and surface trench results, and complete specific gravity and mineralogical testwork.  Upon completion of this work, a re-estimation of resources would be warranted in preparation for subsequent engineering studies.  Additional metallurgical and geotechnical work was also recommended in preparation for future engineering work.

The October 2005 SRK report represents an increase of 35% over a pre-National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate of 7.8 million tones grading 2.63 grams for total contained gold of 661,000 ounces using a bottom cut-off grade of 0.500 g/t Au.

In January 2006, during a follow-up trenching program on the Molejon gold deposit, a 200-metre strike length of high-grade gold mineralization in the Central Zone was delineated.  Overall, the trenching program resulted in a significant reinterpretation of the Molejon mineralization - three or more mineralization trends in quartz breccia and silicified andesite breccia extend across the deposit.

At the same time, we commenced, and during the course of 2006 completed, a 14,005-metre diamond-drilling program at the Molejon gold deposit.  The drilling program was threefold.  First, the majority of drilling or 11,398 metres consisted of infill drilling in the southern part (the starter pit area) of the deposit to bring the separation between existing drill holes down to 20 to 35 metres.  The Molejon gold deposit was previously diamond drilled in a 124-hole program conducted by Teck, Inmet and our company (formerly Adrian Resources Ltd.) in 1994-95 on 50-metre grid lines with 40 to 70 metres between holes.  Second, additional resource drilling totaling 1,627 metres was performed on areas where trenching had identified new targets.  Third, the remaining approximately 980 metres focused on condemnation drilling and established the location for the 2,200 tonne per day plant currently being constructed.  Geotechnical drilling was also performed in order to characterize construction conditions.



One of the Companys objectives when it commenced the 2006 drill program was to confirm the location of the starter pit and to upgrade SRKs October 2005 inferred mineral resource estimate to an indicated and measured category.  In April 2007, the Company received a National Instrument 43-101 compliant gold resource estimate completed by AAT Mining Services (AquAeTer, Inc. dba AAT Mining Services) that significantly upgraded the prior resource estimate of 893,000 ounces of Inferred gold ounces.  The new resource calculation outlined 447,879 ounces of Measured resources, 161,379 ounces of Indicated resources and 506,294 ounces of Inferred resources at the Molejon Gold deposit.  AAT Mining Services also estimated that 179,934 ounces of the Measured and Indicated ounces contained in the low-grade material have potential for blending with the high-grade to achieve an optimum mill feed without loss of resources. Moreover, drilling confirmed the high-grade area of 1.667 mm tonnes grading 5.0 g/tonne at a cutoff grade of 2.5 g/tonne.

The 506,294 ounces of gold presently defined as Inferred resources are currently being evaluated by infill drilling to 25 metre centres with an aim to convert this resource to Measured and Indicated resources for the Molejon Gold Plant Expansion Feasibility Study. Most of these mineralized drill holes are 50 to 75 metres away from Measured and Indicated mineralized resources.  The on-site Qualified Person, Sean C. Muller, P. Geo., observed and verified that the 2006 drilling and laboratory procedures on the Molejon gold project met or exceeded National Instrument 43-101 standards.  Strict Quality Assurance and Quality control protocols were defined and implemented under his supervision including the submission of blanks, standards and duplicate core samples to the laboratory.

More than 120 new test holes were used to update SRKs October 2005 resource estimate.



The second objective was to test for additional mineralization.  The additional resource drilling discovered another deeper mineralization trend north of the known resource at Molejon. This new trend, known as the NW Deep, exhibits two cohesive blocks of mineralization, one near the surface and another at a depth of approximately 100 metres. The extension of the known mineralization trends to the NNE, and the WSW continues to be extended through step-out drilling.

The third objective was to confirm the location of the gold processing plant.  Thus, condemnation drilling was conducted to ensure that ore zones do not underlie the proposed plant, related infrastructure, and tailings impoundment sites.

In addition, the results obtained from both the 1994-95 and 2006 diamond-drilling programs will be used to assist in the completion of pit modeling and a feasibility study.

In early 2007, our company continued drilling by commencing a minimum 40,000 metre exploration and development diamond-drill program focusing on the 20 square kilometer area knows as the El Real Trend, which includes our companys 100% owned Molejon deposit and Petaquilla Copper Ltd.s Botija Abajo/Brazo project zones, and which is open in three directions.  In August and September 2007, our company released results and details concerning this drill program along the El Real copper gold trend.  At the time, our company and Petaquilla Copper Ltd. had jointly been active in five different zones in the Petaquilla concession with six drill rigs working on the El Real mineralized gold and copper trend between Molejon and Botija Abajo/Brazo.  Results from several drill holes indicated the zone may be much larger in size than previously estimated, that the area had a new silver zone and confirmed the mineralized trend between the Botija Abajo, Botija Abajo West, Brazo and Molejon open pit. The overall goal of this large scale, wide spaced drill program was to identify and delineate the many targets on the El Real Trend and tie the Botija Abajo/Brazo zone to the Molejon open pit gold deposit.



Two drill rigs were also working on a new extension of the Molejon deposit in the North Central zone outside of the current pit outline. Drill hole 332, included in the first results from this program and located within the south-western part of the current pit design, intercepted high grade mineralization near surface: 9 metres @ 17.24g/t Au. In addition, deep mineralization found in several holes confirmed our companys structural model and indicated a significant extension of known mineralized breccias outside of the current designed pit limits. The results offered encouraging support for our companys stated goal of increasing resources.  The new hole locations were designed to test mineralization trends suggested by recent resource modeling.  Results from several holes located within the south-western part of the current pit indicated a significant volume of near surface, higher grade material in an area drilled previously on a wide spacing and previously interpreted as a lower grade zone. The results supported upgrading previously low grade material, with new higher grade intervals.



In October 2007, we announced the results of an updated NI 43-101 compliant gold resource estimate based on results obtained through September 2007.  AAT Mining Services has estimated a total Measured resource of 593,327 ounces and an Indicated resource of 317,696 ounces at the Molejon Gold deposit (see table below).  Additionally, an Inferred resource of 458,502 ounces at an average grade of 0.665 g/t above a cutoff of 0.3 g/t was estimated. The 123,000 Indicated resource ounces of gold delineated at the nearby Botija Abajo deposit through June 2007 increases the total gold resources at the global Molejon Project by over 40% since the last resource estimate announced in April 2007.



If no cut-off grade is applied, the total resource is over 2.8 million ounces of gold.

Another 458,502 Inferred ounces have been geostatistically shown in a new area northwest of the Molejon Measured and Indicated Resources.

In 2006, about 500,000 ounces of gold were in the inferred category of which over 50% have been converted to Measured and Indicated resources by infill drilling in 2007. Over 22,000 metres have been cored at Molejon in 2007 bringing the total drilling along the gold trend to about 40,000 metres since the beginning of the program in 2006.  As at October 18, 2007, seven rigs were currently drilling in the area, three in Molejon and four elsewhere along the El Real trend.

While detailed drilling continues at Botija Abajo, another gold prospect to the northwest known as Lata is being evaluated by surface mapping. A drilling program that will augment favourable drill-hole trends outlined in the 1990s was in preparation.

The recent modeling effort included a complete review of the drilling, geology, sampling methods and approach, sample preparation, analysis, security (chain of custody), and quality assurance/quality control procedures used during the exploration of the Molejon gold deposit.  The on-site independent QP, Sean C. Muller, P. Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, oversaw the drilling program ensuring that the appropriate QA protocols were being followed and that the data was being qualified under strict QC. He observed and verified that recent drilling, sample preparation and ALS Chemex laboratory procedures utilized for the Molejon project meet NI 43-101 standards.  Strict QA/QC protocols have been defined and implemented under Mr. Mullers supervision including the submission of blanks, standards and duplicate core samples to the laboratory.

In March 2008, we announced drill hole results received for 132 holes added since the last resource model update of the Molejon gold deposit in October 2007.

The two objectives of the drill program were to provide infill information to complement data obtained from previous drilling and to advance towards delineating the mineral deposit. The program succeeded in meeting both its objectives. First, the results obtained from infill drilling would allow for the conversion of inferred and indicated resources to indicated and measured resources, respectively. Second, as the condemnation holes supported the model, the results obtained from delineation drilling have verified the geologic interpretation and have also provided for important increases in geologic understanding.

The holes that did not intercept mineralization were effectively around the perimeter of the known deposit. The holes that did intersect mineralization were drilled to define the suspected high grade and, while important for increasing the high grade envelope, also verified the model. Additionally, these results provided the basis to expand the previously modeled high grade ore shell to encompass a previously undrilled region.

The independent QP, Cathryn Stewart, P. Geo., verified that recent drilling, sample preparation and laboratory procedures utilized for the Molejon project met NI 43-101 standards. Strict QA/QC protocols have been defined and implemented for the submission of blanks, standards and duplicate core samples to the laboratory.  Samples were analyzed at ALS Chemex Labs Ltd.

At the Lata prospect, a detailed field mapping and surface sampling program was continuing and a diamond drilling program had commenced.  Initial surface sampling results include 11.7 g/t Au sample (sample number: R-49), 8.24 g/t Au (sample number: R-270), 2.02 g/t Au (sample number: R-172, and 1.7 g/t Au (sample number R-116).  The anomalous sample results highlight a NW trending structure that projects to the south toward the Molejon deposit, confirming the district geological interpretation. Initial drilling has intercepted alteration in andesitic host rocks. The assays were pending completion at ALS Chemex.

In addition to the above, a 260 line kilometre Induced Polarization (IP) geophysics program and a detailed field mapping program are concurrently underway over a significant part of our company's concessions. As at March 2008, the IP geophysics program was 30% complete and focused on identifying Molejon look-alikes' along the main mineralized trends.

Outlook  2008

Molejon

We are focusing on bringing its Molejon gold deposit to production.  We expect to pour our first gold bar by the end of December 2008 and commence full production by the end of February 2009.  Estimated cost to complete the processing mill, surrounding tailings for the first phase of the mine and working capital requirements is expected to be $40,042,000 (US$ 38,288,000). This amount includes a contingency of $4,706,000 (US$ 4,500,000).

We are currently completing phase 1 of the mining plan.

Map of the project area:



Regional and Local Geology

Panama is underlain by an island arc built upon late Cretaceous oceanic crust and is considered prospective for porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposits.

Andesitic tuffs and flows of presumed Early to Middle Tertiary age cover the majority of the Petaquilla concession lying at the southern limit of a 400 square kilometre batholith, dated at 32.6+2 million years, which has intruded the older volcanic sequence.  The core of the batholith is composed of quartz monzonite, grading outward to granodiorite and porphyritic granodiorite.  The Petaquilla and Botija deposits are centered on porphyritic stocks and dykes lying peripheral to the southern margin of the batholith.

At the Botija deposit, the intrusive is a medium-grained, crowded porphyry composed of 25% plagioclase phenocrysts, 15% hornblende phenocrysts and 5-10% quartz grains in a feldspar rich matrix.  At the Petaquilla deposit, the intrusive is more obviously porphyritic, with a generally lower percentage of phenocrysts.  Contact phases and dykes at each deposit are finer-grained varieties of the main intrusive.  In particular, feldspar, hornblende, quartz porphyry dykes appear to be late stage phases of the granodiorite.  Most of these porphyry dykes post-date the mineralization, indicating that they were introduced during the waning stages of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization.  The youngest units encountered on the property are the unmineralized basalt and andesite dykes.

Copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry deposits have been identified and partially delineated at the Petaquilla and Botija deposits, which are centred four kilometres apart on an east-west trend within the Petaquilla concession.  Four types of well-developed alteration have been observed within the various intrusive units:  potassic, phyllic, quartz-chloritic and propylitic.  Potassic alteration is found near the core of the porphyry system and is not extensive.  It is characterized by quartz, potassium feldspar, biotite, sericite, and lesser amounts of anhydrite and magnetite.  The majority of copper mineralization is hosted in the phyllic altered rock, which is composed of quartz and sericite with minor kaolinite and K-spar.  Propylitic alteration, marked by chlorite, pyrite, calcite and epidote, marks the outer extent of alteration in a porphyry system.  The phyllic and quartz-chlonite alteration zones are usually found between the potassic core and the peripheral propylitic zone, although either may be missing.  Alteration of the andesitic volcanic units, characterized by prograde biotite hornfels and fine grained sulphide mineralization occurs when they are found to be proximal to the intrusive contact or within zones of intrusive dyking.

The Petaquilla deposit is largely hosted by porphyritic granodiorite below its intrusive contact with andesite forming a flat-lying to gently dipping sheet, trending east-west and dipping to the north.  It has been drilled for 1,600 metres along strike and remains open along strike to the south, east and west, and at depth.

The Valle Grande deposit is hosted dominantly by prophyritic granodiorite and similar to Petaquilla is a flat-lying sheet, trending northwest-southeast and dipping to the north.  It has been drilled for 2,400 meters along strike and is considered to have limited expansion potential.

The Botija deposit trends east-west and dips 20-30 degrees to the north or northeast.  It has been intersected by drilling along strike for 1,800 metres and up to 600 metres down dip. The Botija deposit remains open near surface to the south, along strike to the east and the west and in many places at depth both vertically and down dip to the north.

The general geology of the Molejon epithermal gold target is dominated by volcanic and subvolcanic intrusives including massive andesite flows, feldspar-porphyritic andesite flows, andesitic tuffs, and andesitic agglomerates.  This volcanic package has been intruded by feldspar-quartz porphyry and feldspar porphyry units.  A northeast trending fault is believed to be the major structural control for the emplacement of the hydrothermally altered quartz-carbonate breccia.

Mineralization at the Petaquilla, Valle Grande and Botija deposits is largely concentrated within potassic or phyllic altered porphyritic intrusives of granodioritic composition.  Volcanic-hosted copper mineralization, associated with strong biotite alteration, is widespread at the Petaquilla deposit and contributes significantly to its tonnage.  Mineralization in each deposit consists of chalcopyrite and pyrite as disseminations, within quartz veinlets and filling brittle, irregular fractures.  Pyrite content generally decreases with higher grade copper mineralization and increases towards the periphery of the deposits.  Chalcopyrite occurs most commonly as very fine disseminations within an altered intrusive matrix or biotite hornfels.  It is often associated with magnetite and/or chlorite or biotite altered mafic minerals, most notably in lower-grade sections of propylitic alteration.  Stockwork quartz veinlets are best developed within potassic alteration, where they crosscut pervasive silicification.  The irregular fracture-filling style of copper mineralization, which locally approaches a sulphide net, is largely confined to biotite-altered andesite at the Petaquilla deposit.  This is cut in places by narrow quartz-chalcopyrite veins which have developed bleached selvages of biotite destruction.  A fourth style of mineralization, consisting of chalcopyrite and pyrite coatings along steep, widely spaced, cooling joints, is confined to granodiorite along the eastern periphery of the Botija deposit.

Molybdenite is present mainly in quartz, carbonate, chalcopyrite veinlets hosted by granodiorite within the most intensely altered and mineralized portion of each deposit.  Bornite occurs locally with chalcopyrite and contributes significantly to the copper grade in some sections, mainly within hornfelsed andesites in the Petaquilla deposit.  Although leaching is widespread throughout the upper 10 to 30 metres of the deposits, supergene copper mineralization is not present in significant amounts.  Magnetite is an important accessory in both deposits, disseminated throughout both the porphyritic intrusives and the intruded andesite.

At the Molejon deposit, epithermal gold-silver mineralization occurs within structurally controlled zones of hydrothermal quartz-carbonate breccia and the fractured and altered rocks marginal to the quartz-carbonate breccia.  Assay boundaries of gold-silver mineralization are not sharply constrained by geological contacts.  Highest grade mineralization usually occurs in the quartz-carbonate breccia but economic mineralization also occurs in feldspar-quartz porphyry, and more rarely in feldspar-porphyritic andesite flows.

The Petaquilla concession, or certain parts of it, have been the subject of a preliminary feasibility study by Kilborn completed in August 1994, a production scoping study by Fluor Daniel Wright completed in February 1996 and updated in August 1996 and a final feasibility study by H.A. Simons Ltd. completed in January 1998, the last of which being the most current is reviewed below.

Final Feasibility Study  Petaquilla Concession Copper Deposit

In January 1998, H.A. Simons Ltd. ("Simons") on behalf of Teck Cominco Limited, completed a final bankable feasibility study (the "Final Study"  non-National Instrument 43-101 compliant) on the Petaquilla, Botija, and Valle Grande copper-gold deposits and the Molejon gold deposit.

The Final Study was prepared prior to the introduction of National Instrument 43-101, and refers to categories of reserves which are not the same as those contained in the current National Instrument.  The 1998 Feasibility Study refers to measured and indicated mineable reserves, which we believe are reliable and relevant.  Our company is of the view that such categories are materially equivalent to proven and probable mineral reserves in the current National Instrument.

The following information is summarized from the Final Study.

Conclusion / Reserves

In the Final Study, Simons reviewed only the Petaquilla, Botija and Valle Grande deposits and referred to measured and indicated reserves in its calculation of economically mineable reserves.  The Final Study concluded that the mineable reserves for the Petaquilla, Botija and Valle Grande deposits (measured and indicated only) total 1.115 billion tonnes grading 0.50% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.155 MoS2 as well as recoverable silver.  Reserves were calculated using a variable economic cut-off grade of between US $5.10 and US $6.50/tonne (including a low grade stockpile of 130 million tonnes to be milled at the end of the mine life).  A marginal cut-off grade of US $2.92/tonne was used for the low-grade stockpile.  Based on an estimated optimum throughput of 120,000 tonnes per day for open pit mining of the three deposits, which would result in a projected mine life of 23 years, the Final Study estimated that an average 419 million recoverable pounds of copper, 61,000 recoverable ounces of gold, and 5.8 million recoverable pounds of molybdenite would be produced annually.  The recoverable payable metal content contained in these reserves totals at least 9.4 billion pounds of copper, 1.37 million ounces of gold, 24.1 million ounces of silver and 131.1 million pounds of molybdenum, not including the contained metal in the low grade stockpile.

The Final Study examined the Molejon deposit as an alternate case and did not include production there from in its base case analysis.

Metallurgy

The Final Study estimated average recoveries of 90% for copper, 58% for gold and 62% for molybdenite.

Operating Plan

The Final Study examined development of the Petaquilla, Botija and Valle Grande deposits as an open pit operation to produce copper, gold and molybdenum flotation concentrates, based on a throughput rate of 90,000 tonnes per day for a mine life of 29 years and a throughput rate of 120,000 tonnes per day for a mine life of 23 years.

The Final Study's conclusions include the following key projected financial assumptions for operations based on the base case mineable reserve estimate.  The initial capital cost of placing the three deposits into production is estimated at US $1.12 billion, while ongoing capital costs are estimated to total US $372 million.

The Final Study also examined an alternate case which includes an additional 356 million tonnes of preliminary scoping level mineable reserves at Valle Grande, the Molejon gold deposit and third party power supply options for Petaquilla as an alternate case and did not include production from Molejon gold deposit or the additional preliminary scoping level mineable reserves at Valle Grande in its base case analysis.

In May 2006, Teck, on behalf of the shareholders of Minera Petaquilla, S.A. commissioned AMEC Americas Limited to update the capital and operating cost estimates and the financial analysis originally prepared in January 1998 by Simons for the Petaquilla Project 120,000 t/d Feasibility Study, on the Petaquilla concession to more accurately reflect current prices and technological advances.  AMECs scope of work included an update of the existing pre-production and sustaining capital costs, an update of the operating costs and an update of the financial model.  In addition, AMEC conducted five (5) stand-alone trade-off studies to consider opportunities to optimize the design of the project.  These studies related to a concentrate pipeline to a Pacific port, grid power supply alternatives, the use of larger trucks and shovels in the mine, the use of a single-line semi-autogenous and ball mill grinding circuit, and the use of larger flotation cells.  Where applicable, the results of the trade-off studies were incorporated into the cost update.



The 2006 Cost Update report was completed in December 2006 and estimated the cost to construct, install and commission the facilities described in the report at US $1.592 billion dollars.  This amount covered the direct field costs of executing the project, plus the owners and indirect costs associated with design, construction and commissioning.  Working capital requirements and escalation totalled US $116 million, bringing the overall capital cost of the project to US $1.708 billion.  The cost update also concluded cash operating costs in years 1 to 10 will be US $0.76 per pound of copper produced.



Subsequently, in January 2008, AMEC released a draft interim Front-end Engineering and Design (FEED) study in respect of the Petaquilla copper project based on the scope described in the Final Study prepared by Simons.  The FEED report estimated that the capital cost required to develop the Petaquilla project would be US $3.5 billion (including a contingency of $515 million but not including working capital and escalation).

The capital cost estimate included approximately $500 million for the construction of an oil-fired power plant and approximately $280 million for port facilities.  Cash costs, including operating and realization costs and net of by-product credits, in years 1 to 10 of the project are estimated to average US $0.85 per pound of copper produced.  The study was based on the mine plan developed in 1998, which contemplated a 23-year mine life.  The project includes a concentrator capable of processing 120,000 tpd of ore.



Capital costs for the project have increased substantially over previously published estimates both as a result of scope changes, including enhancements in erosion control, water management and other environmental protection measures, as well as increases in equipment and construction costs that have been affecting projects worldwide.  Despite the increase in capital costs required to develop the Petaquilla copper project, the shareholders  Inmet Mining Corporation, Teck Cominco Ltd., and Petaquilla Copper Ltd. - believe that the project still has the potential to be a world-class mining operation.  Work is continuing on the FEED study and a project review team is currently studying opportunities to reduce the capital costs from the Interim FEED study estimate with several possible opportunities already identified in the area of the grinding circuit, power supply and port infrastructure.



The above discussion regarding theFinal Feasibility Study, the 2006 Cost Update, and the FEED Study  Petaquilla Concession Copper Deposit has been included in this Annual Report not because our company was a former shareholder of Minera Petaquilla, S.A. but because our company also operates on the Petaquilla concession and, as per the Molejon Gold Project Agreement dated June 2, 2005, has the rights to the Molejon gold deposit and other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession subject to a specified and graduated Net Smelter Return payable to Teck Cominco Limited and Minnova.  The agreement provides for our company, through our subsidiary, Petaquilla Gold, S.A., to own a 100% interest in the Molejon gold deposit, as well as all other gold and precious metal mineral deposits that might be developed within the Petaquilla mineral concession, subject to a graduated 1% - 5% Net Smelter Return, based on the future gold price at the time of production, payable to Teck and Minnova (Panama) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inmet Mining Corporation.



Molejon

Since our companys Plan of Arrangement with Petaquilla Copper Ltd. effective October 18, 2006, we have focused on the development of our Molejon Gold Project.  For a summary of the latest technical report announced in October 2007, please refer to Item 4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment  Exploration - Results Obtained by Us or on Our Behalf.



Doing Business inPanama

The following briefly summarizes our understanding of the economic and political climate in Panama based on research and information compiled by us from various sources we believe to be reliable:

Democracy was restored in Panama in December 1989 following the invasion of Panama by the U.S. military.  In May 1994, Panama held its first democratic elections in almost 30 years, resulting in the election of Partido Revolucionario Democratico ("PRD") candidate, Dr. Ernesto Perez Balladares, as President of the Republic.  The next election was held in May 1999 and resulted in Mireya Moscoso, leader of the Arnulfista Party, becoming President of the Republic.

In the elections held May 2, 2004, Martin Torrijos won a clear victory as President gaining 47% of the votes and outdistancing his closest rival with 31%. President-elect Torrijos' party, PRD, also performed strongly in legislative and local races held the same day.  Unlike the previous administration, President-elect Torrijos' party will hold a majority of Senate seats.

Martin Torrijos is the son of a famous Panamanian leader, General Omar Torrijos, who ruled from 1968 until he died in a plane crash in 1981.  General Torrijos won Panama control over the Panama Canal from the United States and instituted land reform and populist social and economic developments. General Torrijos supported the development of a modern mining sector and had close links in the Province of Cocle in the area of the Petaquilla property. The General championed numerous social development initiatives in the area of Petaquilla including the founding of the village of Coclesito near the property.

President Martin Torrijos campaigned on a platform of zero corruption, social development and economic (and job) expansion.  In his mid-forties and with the backing of Ruben Blades, a popular musician, he is generally expected to lead a youthful and vigorous administration.  He stands on an agenda that includes strengthening democracy and free trade talks with the United States.

We note that the comparative overall country risk rating for Panama by The Economist Intelligence Unit is in the low mid-range, both globally and regionally, as follows:

Mining has not historically been a significant factor in the Panamanian economy and, consequently, Panama does not have the infrastructure and trained personnel required for modern mining operations. The government of Panama has, however, included the development of mineral resources in its economic plan to diversify the Panamanian economy and has taken steps to put in place the legislative framework needed to foster development of these resources.

The Code of Mineral Resources of the Republic of Panama has been subject to substantial modifications, among which the most important are Law No. 3 of January 28, 1988, and Law No. 32 of February 9, 1996.  The main purpose of such amendments was to simplify the procedure for filing the necessary petitions to obtain concessions, either for conducting mining exploration or mining extraction operations and property rights over the minerals extracted.  These amendments grant total exemption for import taxes and customs duties for all equipment, spare parts and materials used in the development of any type of mining operations and there are no export taxes on mineral production.

An exploration concession permits the holder to explore for the minerals specified in the concession.  The rental rates payable by the holder to the Government of Panama are US $0.50 per hectare for the first 2 years, US $1.00 per hectare for the third and fourth years, and US $1.50 for the fifth year and thereon. A 2% gross overriding royalty on the value received for all minerals of higher commercial value, i.e. gold and silver, mined from the concession is payable to the Government of Panama.

The holder of an exploration concession has the exclusive right to obtain an exploitation concession for the subject area upon determining that the minerals covered by the concession may be produced in commercial quantities through a separate request to the Government of Panama.  Rental rates for exploitation concessions fluctuate, depending on the mineral concerned and the extraction period, between US $0.75 and US $4.00 per hectare.  Rental rates for metallic minerals like copper, iron, zinc, aluminum and precious metals like gold and silver, are US $1.00 per hectare for the first 5 years, US $2.00 from the sixth to the tenth year, and US $3.00 the eleventh year and thereon.  A 2% gross overriding royalty on the value received for all minerals mined from the concession is payable to the Government of Panama. However, this overriding royalty will be 4% for minerals of higher commercial value like gold and silver.

Exploitation concessions generally permit the holder to carry out additional pre-development exploration, to construct all necessary production facilities and to extract, process, store, transport, market and export the minerals subject to the concession so long as production is ongoing.

In 1995, the Panamanian Tax Reform Law was enacted to simplify the corporate income tax rates applicable to income earned in Panama (Law No. 28 of June 20, 1995).  Since June 1995, the corporate income tax rate is 30%.  In addition to corporate income tax, Panamanian law provides for a dividend tax.  With the exceptions provided for in the Fiscal Code of the Republic of Panama, all corporations must retain 10% of the amounts they may distribute among their shareholders as dividends or share quotas.  In case dividends are not distributed, or the entire amount distributed as dividend or share quota is less than 40% of the net profit of that fiscal period, minus taxes paid by the corporation, the corporation must cover 10% of the remainder.

The Fiscal Code of the Republic of Panama indicates certain expenses, which may be deducted from the income tax, applicable to companies conducting mining activities.  Additionally, the Code of Mineral Resources establishes certain expenses related to said activities that may be deducted from income tax as well.

There are currently no significant restrictions on repatriation from Panama of earnings to foreign entities other than the income tax and the dividends tax referred to above.  There are currently no currency exchange or foreign investment restrictions of material significance.

Based on our understanding of current Panamanian environmental laws and regulations, we do not anticipate that such laws will have any adverse material impact on any operations we may conduct in the future.  Based on Geochemical Analysis and Reporting, we anticipate that our companys Molejon gold project will meet or exceed the effluent and leachate requirements of Panamanian environmental laws and regulations.  We will be using a Carbon in Pulp floatation process, which allows in process cyanide destruction before effluent is discharged.  This process is inherently safer and more controllable than traditional acid and cyanide open-air heap leach processing.  Any acidity produced at the experimental pH is expected to be buffered by the receiving waters around the Molejon project, which have a pH between 7.4 and 7.8 and total alkalinity between 15 mg/L and 27 mg/L (as CaCO3).  Results for both tails and waste rock leachate indicate that the Molejon Project will have net acid neutralizing potential.  The results of the continuous tests showed that the INCO SO2 cyanide destruction method is an efficient process for decreasing the total cyanide concentrations in the Petaquilla CIP leach pulp.

The foregoing laws of general application apply to our Panamanian mineral properties other than the Petaquilla concession which is governed primarily by the Ley Petaquilla.  See Item 4 - Information on Our Company - B. Business Overview.

Panama's currency, the Balboa, is at parity with the U.S. dollar.  Exchange transactions are allowed in U.S. dollars and, as a result, foreign currency fluctuations will only be material for us to the extent that fluctuations between the Canadian and U.S. dollar are material.

ITEM 4A.

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS



We have not received written comments from the Commission staff regarding our periodic reports under the Exchange Act that (a) are dated not less than 180 days before the end of our fiscal year to which this annual report relates and (b) remain unresolved.

ITEM 5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

5.A.  Operating Results

We are in the business of the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, with the primary aim of developing them to a stage where they can be exploited at a profit.  At that stage, our operations would, to a significant extent, be dependent on the prevailing market prices for any of the minerals produced by such operations.  We do not currently have any producing properties and, with the exception of our Petaquilla concession which is the subject of a bankable final feasibility study, our current operations on our various properties are exploratory searches for mineable deposits of minerals.  We are hopeful the Molejon deposit development work will both expand the reserves and classify the reserves as proven mineral reserves.  However, there is no guarantee such results will be obtained.  During the 15-months ended April 30, 2007, we were primarily engaged in the continued development of our Molejon property in Panama.  As a result, our future mineral exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by Panama's political stability and government regulation, all of which are beyond our control.  See "Item 3 -  Key Information  3.D. Risk Factors.

15-Months Ended April 30, 2007, Compared to Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2006

We did not generate revenue from operations during the 15-months ended April 30, 2007, and fiscal year ended January 31, 2006.  Expenses for the 15-months ended April 30, 2007, were $28,841,783, a substantial increase from $2,538,350 for the year ended January 31, 2006.  The increase in expenses is primarily due to the escalation of our operations at the Molejon gold deposit as we move the project towards production.  Increased levels of operations including drilling, equipment procurement, plant construction, and construction of roads, bridges and other infrastructure have also led to increased general and administrative costs.  Our largest cash outflow in the 15-months ended April 30, 2007, was capitalized expenditures relating to our mineral properties of $19,387,844, as compared to $2,197,611 (expensed) in the prior year.  Stock-based compensation, a non-cash expense, increased to $20,386,270, compared to $410,301 in the prior year, as a result of options granted and vested during the period, options previously valued at grant date and revalued at approval date, and options arising from the Plan of Arrangement that were revalued on the Plan of Arrangement date.

During the 15-months ended April 30, 2007, we recorded a foreign exchange loss of $836,847, a gain on the sale of marketable securities of $21,191, interest income of $352,880, interest on long-term debt of $68,239, asset usage fees of 103,348, a loss of $1,773,000 from equity investment, and a gain of $3,080,000 on dilution of equity investment.During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, we recorded a foreign exchange loss of $77,647 and interest income of $48,239.

The net loss for the 15-months ended April 30, 2007, was $27,962,450 or $0.35 per share (2006  loss of $2,567,758 or $0.05 per share; 2005  loss of $1,798,273 or $0.04 per share).

Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2006, Compared to Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2005

We did not generate revenue from operations during the years ended January 31, 2006, and 2005.  Expenses for the year ended January 31, 2006, were $2,538,350, a substantial increase from $1,890,679 for the year ended January 31, 2005.  The increase in expenses was primarily a response to our renewed interest in copper/gold properties such as our Ley Petaquilla concession.  During the year, we commenced operations on the Molejon gold deposit, which contributed to increases in general and administrative costs.  Our largest cash outflow in the year ended January 31, 2006, was capitalized expenditures relating to our mineral properties of $2,197,611, as compared to $Nil in the prior year.  Stock-based compensation, a non-cash expense, decreased to $410,301 compared to $716,876 in the prior year, as a result of option grants during the year that have been deferred.

During the year ended January 31, 2006, we recorded a foreign exchange loss of $77,647 and interest income of $48,239. During the year ended January 31, 2005, we recorded a foreign exchange loss of $79,147, interest income of $18,266, a gain on redemption of performance bond of $198,142, and a write-down of property and equipment of $44,855. In April 2004, we agreed with Madison Enterprises Corporation (Madison), a company formerly related by virtue of common directors, to transfer certain office equipment with a net book value of $42,705 to Madison in exchange for Madison indemnifying us for lease costs of approximately $62,000 per year for four years for its former premises.

The net loss for the year ended January 31, 2006, was $2,567,758 or $0.05 per share (2005  loss of  $1,798,273 or $0.04 per share; 2004  loss of $811,190 or $0.02 per share).

5.B.  Liquidity and Capital Resources

In our management's view, given the nature of our activities, which consist of the acquisition, exploration, exploration management, development, and sale of mineral properties, the most meaningful and material financial information concerning us relates to our current liquidity and capital resources.  We do not currently own or have an interest in any mineral producing properties and have not derived any revenues from the sale of gold, copper or other materials in the last three financial years.  Our principal property, the Molejon gold deposit located in the Petaquilla concession, is located in Panama, and as a result our operations on the property may be subject to additional risks, which are more fully described in Item 3 - Key Information  3.D. Risk Factors.

Our mineral exploration activities have been funded through sales of common shares and we expect that we will continue to be able to utilize this source of financing until we develop cash flow from our operations.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain required financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all.  See "Item 4 - Information on Our Company - D. Property, Plant and Equipment" above.  Based on our existing working capital, we expect to require additional financing for our currently held properties during the upcoming fiscal year.  Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We have not carried out debt financing nor have we made use of any financial instruments for hedging purposes.  We had no material commitments for capital expenditures at the end of our most recent fiscal year.

Mineral properties and marketable securities were written down in the years ended January 31, 2002, and January 31, 2001, when we decided there was little or no possibility of recovery from these properties.  All expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, that were associated with our mineral properties were expensed during the period.  Our Management reviews annually the carrying value of our interest in each mineral property and where necessary, properties are written down to the estimated recoverable amount determined on a non-discounted basis after giving effect to any property option agreements and cost recovery agreements.  Costs relating to properties abandoned are written off when the decision to abandon is made.

At April 30, 2007, we had a working capital deficiency of $4,220,761 (January 31, 2006  working capital of $8,689,060).  We recently raised funds from two private placements but will have to raise additional funds to meet our planned corporate and administrative expenses for the coming year and to undertake ongoing development and further exploration of the Molejon gold deposit.  Management is pursuing additional sources of financing and while it has been successful in the past there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the ability of PTQ to continue as a going concern.

Other than as discussed herein, we are not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in our liquidity either materially increasing or decreasing at present or in the foreseeable future.  Material increases or decreases in our liquidity will be substantially determined by the timing of any production decision on our Petaquilla concession.

April 30, 2007, Compared to January 31, 2006

At April 30, 2007, our current assets totaled $1,218,418 compared to $9,240,156 at January 31, 2006.  The decrease is primarily attributable to financing expenditures on capitalized project development, which increased substantially during the 15-month period.



At April 30, 2007, total liabilities were significantly higher at $10,538,364 compared to $551,096 as at January 31, 2006.

Our working capital deficiency was $4,220,761 at April 30, 2007, as compared with working capital of $8,689,060 at January 31, 2006.  As at April 30, 2007, we had long-term debt totalling $699,185 as compared to no long-term debt as at January 31, 2006.

At April 30, 2007, we had total assets of $45,375,983 as compared with $12,807,172 at January 31, 2006.  This is primarily a result of increases in capitalized project development costs and property plant and equipment.

Share capital as at April 30, 2007, and January 31, 2006, was $101,482,015 (89,876,951 shares) and $62,977,209 (70,246,303 shares), respectively.

Operating expenses in the 15-months ended April 30, 2007, and fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, were $28,841,783, inclusive of general and administrative expenses, and $2,538,350, respectively.

The most significant contributions to working capital in the 15-months ended April 30, 2007, came from the issuance of capital stock upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, which provided net proceeds of 8,879,670.00 and from equity financing, which provided gross proceeds of $22,560,000.  The most significant contribution to working capital in the year ended January 31, 2006, was from an equity financing providing proceeds of $8,933,334.

In October 2006, we completed a non-brokered private placement issuing 9,400,000 Units at a price of $2.40 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $22,560,000.  Each Unit consisted of one common share and one transferable share purchase warrant aggregating 9,798,000 warrants with the inclusion of the issued compensation warrants.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $3.00 per share until the warrants expire on October 17, 2011.  We paid finders fees of $956,800 for net proceeds of $21,603,200.

January 31, 2006, Compared to January 31, 2005

At January 31, 2006, our current assets totaled $9,240,156 compared to $973,594 at January 31, 2005.  The increase is primarily attributable to cash acquired from issuance of capital stock less general and administrative expenses incurred during the period.

At January 31, 2006, total liabilities were significantly higher at $551,096 compared to $103,051 as at January 31, 2005.

Working capital was $8,689,060 at January 31, 2006, as compared with working capital of $870,543 at January 31, 2005.  As at January 31, 2006, and January 31, 2005, we had no long-term debt.

At January 31, 2006, we had total assets of $12,807,172 as compared with $1,989,474 at January 31, 2005.  The increase is primarily a result of cash acquired from issuance of capital stock and mineral property costs less general and administrative expenses during the year.

Share capital as at January 31, 2006, and 2005 was $62,977,209 (70,246,303 shares) and $51,430,792 (51,264,537 shares), respectively.

Our largest cash outflows in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, and 2005 were due to general and administrative expenses of $2,538,350 and $1,890,679, respectively.

The most significant contribution to working capital in the year ended January 31, 2006, was the issuance of capital stock upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, which provided net proceeds of $2,358,942 and the equity financing provided proceeds of $8,933,334. The most significant contribution to working capital in the year ended January 31, 2005, was the issuance of capital stock upon the exercise of stock options and warrants.

In January 2006, we completed a non-brokered private placement and issued 9,965,670 units at a price of $0.95 per unit, for gross proceeds of $9,467,387.  Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant aggregating 4,982,835 warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $1.20 per share if exercised in the first year following the closing, and at a price of $1.44 per share if exercised in the second year following the closing.  The warrant will terminate within 20 days unless exercised in the event the Companys closing stock price meets or exceeds $2.00 for 10 consecutive trading days and the Company issues a press release of such an event.  We paid finders fees of $534,053 for net proceeds of $8,933,334.

Outlook

Our activities will focus on the development of the Molejon gold project in order to bring the deposit into production.

5.F.  Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

With respect to contractual obligations, the Company is committed in the fiscal year 2008 to the following plant and equipment acquisitions related to the gold-processing plant currently under construction at the Molejon gold deposit:



|                               |           
|------------------------------ | ----------
|Gold Recovery Equipment        | $4,981,000
|Generators                     | $3,345,000
|Other Support Items            | $1,788,000
|Other Construction in Progress | $1,428,000



In addition, we have one commitment relating to our leasehold obligation for our office premises.  During the period ended April 30, 2007, we entered into a five-year lease (commencement date:  September 1, 2006) for office premises at an estimated annual cost of $66,240 (approximately $331,200 over five years) as of January 1, 2007.  From October 18, 2006, the office leasing costs have been split equally between the Company and Petaquilla Copper Ltd., as a result of the Plan of Arrangement.  Therefore, the estimated annual cost of the office premises lease is approximately $33,120 to the Company.

Furthermore, during the period ended April 30, 2007, the Company entered into a contract relating to an environmental impact study.  The amount payable at the end of the contract is $131,776.

The Company is required to remediate the site once it completes its mining operations. As at April 30, 2007 the total undiscounted cash flow required to settle the obligation is approximately $6,848,000

On a related matter to commitments and contingencies, Geneva Gold Ltd. has claimed for loss in share value said to be caused by the Companys news release announcing that the agreement with the Company has been rescinded.  The amount of the counter-claim has not been quantified, and according to Company counsel it is too early to provide an opinion on either partys changes of success as discoveries have yet to take place.

Dr. Ralph Ansley served on the Companys Board of Directors for the period June 6, 2006, to July 7, 2008.

6.C.  Board Practices

The directors hold office for a term of one year or until our next annual general meeting, at which time all directors retire, and are eligible for re-election.  We do not nor do any of our subsidiaries have any arrangement to provide benefits to our directors upon termination of employment.

For the period February 1, 2006, to February 20, 2007, our audit committee was comprised of John Cook, Marco Tejeira and Michael Levy.  Upon Mr. Levys resignation on February 20, 2007, the Audit Committee became comprised of John Cook, Marco Tejeira and Ralph Ansley with John Cook acting as Chairman of the Audit Committee.  Subsequent to Dr. Ansleys resignation from the Board of Directors effective July 7, 2008, the Audit Committee currently consists of John Cook and Marco Tejeira.

Each director is financially literate.  The audit committee is appointed by the board of directors and its members hold office until removed by the board of directors or until our next annual general meeting, at which time their appointments expire and they are then eligible for re-appointment.  The Audit Committee reviews our audited consolidated financial statements and liaises with our auditors and recommends to the board of directors whether or not to approve such statements.  At the request of our auditor, the Audit Committee must convene a meeting to consider any matters the auditor believes should be brought to the attention of the board of directors or our shareholders.

In its current form our Audit Committee does not meet the requirements of certain provincial securities laws.  Part 3 of Multilateral Instrument 52-110  Audit Committees requires, among other things, that each member of our audit committee be "independent".  Currently, two of the three members are considered to be independent.  We plan to change the composition of our Audit Committee so that it complies with Multilateral Instrument 52-110.

The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter adopted by the board of directors. The Audit Committee is responsible primarily for monitoring: (i) the integrity of our financial statements; (ii) compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and (iii) the independence and performance of our internal and external auditors.

As at August 1, 2008, our Compensation Committee is composed of John Cook and Marco Tejeira with John Cook acting as Chairman.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also composed of all of the members of the board of directors with John Cook acting as Chairman.

Our Disclosure Committee is composed of Richard Fifer, Bassam Moubarak, and Robert Baxter.

6.D.  Employees

As at April 30, 2007, our corporate head office had three permanent employees (two in Administration and one in Accounting) and five contract staff members working out of its location in Vancouver, Canada, and our administrative office in Panama City, Panama, had twelve employees.  Our locations in Santa Ana and La Pintada have experienced the greatest growth with 300 permanent employees, including administration and technical staff, as of April 30, 2007.  In addition, the Company has a pool of approximately 700 temporary or casual workers (labourers, drilling helpers, etc.) employed at the Molejon gold deposit site.

(1)

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In computing the number of shares owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, Common Shares subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 31, 2007, are deemed outstanding.  Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.  This table has been prepared based on 91,413,163 common shares outstanding as of July 31, 2007.

(2)

Subsequent to the Companys Plan of Arrangement with Petaquilla Copper Ltd., the price shown is the aggregate price for exercising the referenced options in conjunction with the corresponding and equivalent number of options in Petaquilla Copper Ltd.

(3)

One common share purchase warrant (two half warrants) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock in the capital of the Company at a price of $3.50 CAD per share, if exercised on or before May 9, 2009.  The share purchase warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry provision that, if the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company as traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange exceeds $7.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the right, exercisable within 30 days thereafter, to give notice to each warrant holder requiring the exercise of the warrants within a thirty (30) day period. If the Company exercises such right, the warrants will, if not exercised by the warrant holder in accordance with their terms and conditions, expire at the end of such thirty (30) day period.

On June 23, 1994, we adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") which authorized our Board of Directors to grant incentive stock options to our directors, officers and employees or our associated, affiliated, controlled or subsidiary companies, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange.  Under the terms of the Plan, the aggregate number of our common shares reserved for issuance under the Plan at any time may not exceed 4,950,968 and the aggregate number of common shares reserved for issuance to any person may not exceed 5% of the number of outstanding common shares.  On July 24, 2002, our Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder from 4,950,968 to 7,436,158.

During the 15 month period ended April 30, 2007, we received approval for a new stock option plan (the New Plan).   On December 8, 2006, our company adopted the New Plan authorizing our Board of Directors to grant incentive stock options to directors, executive officers, employees, or consultants of our company or of our subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Plan and as may be acceptable pursuant to the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the TSX).  Under the terms of the New Plan, the aggregate number of our common shares reserved for issuance under the New Plan at any time may not exceed 10,000,000.  The approval of the disinterested shareholders of our company must be obtained before (a) the number of common shares under option to Insiders within any 12-month period; or (b) the number of common shares issuable to Insiders at any time, when combined with all of our companys security based compensation arrangements, may exceed 10% of our companys issued and outstanding common shares.  The approval of the disinterested shareholders of our company must also be obtained for the reduction in the exercise price, or extension of the term, of options previously granted to Insiders.

As at April 30, 2007, the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Companys New Plan is 10,000,000 common shares of which 559,920 have been exercised, leaving 9,440,080 common shares available under the New Plan.  The exercise price of the options will not be lower than the market price as defined in the TSX Company Manual, being the volume weighted average trading price on the TSX for the shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the option is granted.  Options granted must be exercised no later than 10 years after the date of grant or such lesser period as may be determined by the Board.  The Board may at its discretion in any granting of an option set a vesting period whereby the option may only be exercisable in pre-determined installments.

This Form 20F is being filed as an Annual Report under the Exchange Act and, as such, there is no requirement to provide any information under this section.

10.B.  Memorandum and Articles of Association

We were incorporated on October 10, 1985, pursuant to the Company Act,which has been replaced by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Act") and is registered with the Registrar of Companies for British Columbia under incorporation number 298967.  We are not limited in our objects and purposes.

With respect to our directors, our Articles provide that a director who is, in any way, directly or indirectly interested in an existing or proposed contract or transaction with PTQ, or who holds any office or possesses any property whereby, directly or indirectly, a duty or interest might be created to conflict with his duty or interest as a director, shall declare the nature and extent of his interest in such contract or transaction or the conflict or potential conflict with his duty and interest as a director, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of the Act and shall abstain from voting in respect thereof.  This prohibition does not apply to:

(i)

any such contract or transaction relating to a loan to Petaquilla Minerals, which a director or a specified corporation or a specific firm in which he has an interest has guaranteed or joined in guaranteeing the repayment of the loan or any part of the loan;

(ii)

any contract or transaction made or to be made with, or for the benefit of a holding corporation or a subsidiary corporation of which a director is a director;

(iii)

any contract by a director to subscribe for or underwrite shares or debentures to be issued by  us or our subsidiary, or any contract, arrangement or transaction in which a director is, directly or indirectly interested if all the other directors are also, directly or indirectly interested in the contract, arrangement or transaction;

(iv)

determining the remuneration of the directors;

(v)

purchasing and maintaining insurance to cover directors against liability incurred by them as directors; or

(vi)

the indemnification of any director by us.

Our Articles also provide that the directors may from time to time on our behalf borrow such money in such manner and amount, on such security, from such sources and upon such terms and conditions as they think fit; issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations, either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of Petaquilla Minerals Ltd., or any other person; and mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, or give other security on the undertaking, or on the whole or any part of our property and assets (both present and future).  Variation of these borrowing powers would require an amendment to our Articles which would, in turn, require the approval of our shareholders by way of a Special Resolution.  A Special Resolution means a resolution cast by a majority of not less than 3⁄4 of the votes cast by our shareholders who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at our general meeting of which notice as our Articles provide and not being less than 21 days notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution, has been duly given (or, if every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting agrees, at a meeting of which less than 21 days notice has been given), or a resolution consented to in writing by each of our shareholders who would have been entitled to vote in person or by proxy at our general meeting, and a resolution so consented to is deemed to be a special resolution passed at our general meeting.



|                                                        |       
|------------------------------------------------------- | ------
|Amended Form 20-F for 15-Month Period Ended 2007 Apr 30 | Page70





---

There is no requirement in our Articles or in the Act requiring retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement, nor is there any minimum shareholding required for a director's qualification.

Holders of our common shares are entitled to vote at meetings of shareholders, and a Special Resolution, as described above, is required to effect a change in the rights of shareholders.  Holders of common shares are not entitled to pre-emptive rights.  Holders of common shares are entitled, ratably, to the remaining property of PTQ upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and such holders receive dividends if, as, and when, declared by our directors.  There are no restrictions on the purchase or redemption of common shares by us while there is an arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments.  There is no liability on the part of any shareholder to further capital calls by us nor any provision discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of our securities as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.  There are no limitations on the rights to own securities, including the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the securities imposed by the Act or by our constating documents.

We are required to give our registered shareholders not less than 21 days notice of any general meeting held by us unless all such shareholders consent to reduce or waive the period.  In addition, we are obliged to give notice to registrants and intermediaries who hold shares on behalf of the ultimate beneficial owners no fewer than 35 or more than 60 days prior to the date of the meeting.  We then deliver, in bulk, proxy-related materials in amounts specified by the intermediaries.  None of our shares owned by registrants or intermediaries may be voted at our general meeting unless all proxy-related materials are delivered to the ultimate beneficial owners of such shares.  Such ultimate beneficial owner must then deliver a proxy to us within the time limited by us for the deposit of proxies in order to vote the shares in respect of which such person is the beneficial owner.

There is no provision in our Articles that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing our change in control and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us (or any of our subsidiaries) other than a shareholder rights plan adopted by our board of directors effective March 7, 2006, and approved by the Companys shareholders at the Annual and Special Meeting held on June 6, 2006.



The Shareholder Rights Plan is designed to ensure that all shareholders receive equal treatment and to maximize shareholder values in the event of a take-over bid or other acquisition that could lead to a change in control of the Company.  It is not intended to deter take-over bids. Take-over bid contests for corporate control provide a singular opportunity for shareholders to obtain a one-time gain.  After the acquisition of effective control, the opportunity for this one-time gain normally does not reoccur.  As with most public companies, control of the Company can probably be secured through the ownership of much less than 50% of the shares. Without a shareholder rights plan, it would be possible for a bidder to acquire effective control, over a relatively short period of time, through open market and private purchases, using various techniques permitted under the securities legislation in Canada, without making a bid available to all shareholders. Such acquisition of control would probably be an effective deterrent to other potential offerors.  The person acquiring control would probably, over a period of time, be able to consolidate and increase its control without the price for control ever being tested through an open market auction.   Shareholder rights plans are designed to prevent this occurrence by forcing all acquisitions of control into a public offer mode.  A public offer will not necessarily achieve all of the objectives of ensuring the maximum value to shareholders. A take-over bid can be completed in a time period as short as 35 days. This is too short a time period to ensure that the directors can develop other competing alternatives. The Shareholder Rights Plan is intended to provide time to shareholders to properly assess any take-over bid and to provide the board of directors with sufficient time to explore and develop alternatives for maximizing shareholder value, including, if considered appropriate, identifying and locating other potential bidders.



The following is a summary of the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan:



|                                                        |

The rights have been issued pursuant to a shareholder rights plan agreement dated and effective March 7, 2006, between the Company and the Rights Agent.  Each right will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one Common Share at the exercise price of C$30 per share, subject to adjustments, at any time after the separation time (defined below). However, if a flip-in event (defined below) occurs, each right will entitle the holder to receive, upon payment of the exercise price, Common Shares having a market value equal to two-times the exercise price. The rights are non-exercisable until the separation time.



Trading of Rights



Until the separation time, the rights will be evidenced by the outstanding certificates for Common Shares and the rights will be transferred with, and only with, the Common Shares.  As soon as practicable following the separation time, separate certificates evidencing the rights will be mailed to holders of record of Common Shares as of the close of business at the separation time and the separate rights certificates will thereafter evidence the rights.



Separation Time and Acquiring Person



The rights will separate and trade apart from the Common Shares and become exercisable at the separation time.  "Separation time" generally means the close of business on the 10th trading day following the commencement or announcement of the intent of any person to commence a take-over bid, other than a permitted bid or a competing bid, but under certain circumstances can mean the eighth trading day after a person becomes an "acquiring person" by acquiring 20% or more of the voting shares of any class.



Flip-in Event



A "flip-in event" will, in general terms, occur when a person becomes an acquiring person.  Upon the occurrence of a flip-in event, each right will entitle the holder to acquire, on payment of the exercise price, that number of Common Shares having a market value equal to two-times the exercise price.

However, any rights beneficially owned by an acquiring person or by any direct or indirect transferees of

such person, will be void.  The term "beneficial ownership" is defined to include, under certain circumstances, shares owned indirectly through affiliates, associates, trusts and partnerships, other situations of ownership deemed by operation of law, shares subject to acquisition or voting agreements and shares owned by persons acting jointly or in concert.  There are several exceptions, including exceptions directed towards investment managers, trust companies, and independent managers of pension

plans who are not participating in a take-over bid.



Permitted Bids



Permitted bids are exempted from the operation of the Shareholder Rights Plan.  In summary, a permitted bid is a take-over bid made by way of take-over bid circular which complies with the following provisions:



(a) It is made to all holders of voting shares of the Company of a particular class and for all those voting shares.



(b) No voting shares can be taken up and paid for before the close of business on the Permitted Bid Expiry Date, as described below, and unless more than 50% of voting shares held by shareholders independent of the offeror are tendered and not withdrawn.



(c) Voting shares may be tendered at any time until the Permitted Bid Expiry Date and may be withdrawn until taken up and paid for.



(d) If the condition described in (b) above is met, there will be a public announcement and the takeover bid will be open for a further period of 10 business days.

---

The Shareholder Rights Plan contains provisions designed to ensure that, if considered appropriate, the time for tendering to two or more competing permitted bids will occur on the same date.



Permitted Bid Expiry Date



The Permitted Bid provisions require that for a Take-Over to be a Permitted Bid it must be left open until the Permitted Bid Expiry Date.  The Permitted Bid Expiry Date means 60 days following the date of the Take-Over Bid.



Exchange Option



Under certain circumstances, the board of directors of the Company can, on exercise of a right and payment of the exercise price, issue other Company securities or assets in lieu of Common Shares.  The Companys board of directors can also determine to issue in exchange for the rights, but without payment of the exercise price, Common Shares having a value equal to the exercise price or other securities or assets of the Company having the same value.



Adjustments



The exercise price, the number and kind of shares subject to purchase upon exercise of each right and the number of rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution in the event that the Company takes certain actions involving the Companys share capital which would otherwise have a dilutive effect.



Redemption



At any time before the occurrence of a flip-in event, the board of directors may elect to redeem the rights in whole at a redemption price of $0.0001 per right.



Waiver



The board of directors may waive the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any flip-in event if it determines that a person became an acquiring person by inadvertence, conditional upon such person having, within 10 days after the determination by the board of directors, reduced its beneficial ownership of shares such that it is no longer an acquiring person.  The board of directors may also, until a flip-in event has occurred, waive the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any particular flip-in event, but in that event, the board of directors shall be deemed to have waived the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any other flip-in event which may arise under any take-over bid then in effect.



Amendments



The board of directors may amend the Shareholder Rights Plan to correct clerical or typographical errors, to maintain the validity of the plan as a result of any changes in any applicable legislation or to increase or decrease the exercise price. Any amendments required to maintain the validity of the Shareholder Rights Plan must be submitted to the Companys shareholders or, after the separation time, to the holders of the rights for confirmation.



Other amendments can only be made with the approval of the Companys shareholders or, after the separation time, the holders of the rights.  Any supplements or amendments to the Shareholder Rights Plan require the prior written consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Term



The Shareholder Rights Plan has a term of 10 years and is subject to ratification at each of the shareholder meetings following the third and sixth anniversaries of the effective date of the Shareholder Rights Plan. If the Shareholder Rights Plan is not so ratified at any meeting, the Shareholder Rights Plan shall terminate forthwith.

Securities legislation in our home jurisdiction of British Columbia requires that shareholder ownership must be disclosed once a person owns beneficially or has control or direction over greater than 10% of our issued shares.  This threshold is higher than the 5% threshold under U.S. securities legislation at which shareholders must report their share ownership.

10.C.  Material Contracts

We have not entered into any contracts other than the ordinary course of business during the past two years.

10.D.  Exchange Controls

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of our common shares.  Any remittances of dividends to United States residents are, however, subject to a 15% withholding tax (5% if the shareholder is a corporation owning at least 10% of our outstanding common shares) pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States.  See "Item 10  Additional Information  E.  Taxation" below.

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the "Act"), which has provisions which govern the acquisition of a control block of voting shares by non-Canadians of a corporation carrying on a Canadian business, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote our common shares under the laws of Canada or the Province of British Columbia or in our charter documents.

Our management considers that the following general summary fairly describes those provisions of the Act pertinent to an investment in PTQ by a person who is not a Canadian resident (a "non-Canadian").

The Act requires a non-Canadian making an investment which would result in the acquisition of  control of the Canadian business to notify the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada, the federal agency created by the Act; or in the case of an acquisition of a Canadian business, the gross value of the assets of which exceeds certain threshold levels or the business activity of which is related to Canada's cultural heritage of national identity, to file an application for review with the Investment Review Division.

The notification procedure involves a brief statement of information about the investment on a prescribed form which is required to be filed with Investment Canada by the investor at any time up to 30 days following implementation of the investment.  Once the completed notice has been filed, a receipt bearing the certificate date will be issued to the non-Canadian investor.  The receipt must advise the investor either that the investment proposal is unconditionally non-reviewable or that the proposal will not be reviewed as long as notice of review is not issued within 21 days of the date certified under the receipt.  It is intended that investments requiring only notification will proceed without government intervention unless the investment is in a specific type of business activity related to Canada's cultural heritage and national identity.

If an investment is reviewable under the Act, an order for review must be issued within 21 days after the certified date on which notice of investment was received.  An application for review in the form prescribed is required to be filed with Investment Canada prior to the investment taking place.  Once the application has been filed, a receipt will be issued to the applicant, certifying the date on which the application was received.  For incomplete applications, a deficiency notice will be sent to the applicant, and if not done within 15 days of receipt of application, the application will be deemed to be complete as of the date it was received.  Within 45 days after the complete application has been received, the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act must notify the potential investor that the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If within such 45-day period the Minister is unable to complete the review, the Minister has an additional 30 days to complete the review, unless the applicant agrees to a longer period.  Within such additional period, the Minister must advise either that he is satisfied or not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If the time limits have elapsed, the Minister will be deemed to be satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  The investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.



|                                                        |       
|------------------------------------------------------- | ------
|Amended Form 20-F for 15-Month Period Ended 2007 Apr 30 | Page74





---

If the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian must not implement the investment or, if the investment has been implemented, could be penalized by being required to divest himself of control of the business that is the subject of the investment.  To date, the only types of business activities which have been prescribed by regulation as related to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity deal largely with publication, film and music industries.  Because our total assets are less than the $5 million notification threshold, and because our business activities would likely not be deemed related to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity, acquisition of a controlling interest in PTQ by a non-Canadian investor would not be subject to even the notification requirements under the Investment Canada Act.

The following investments by non-Canadians are subject to notification under the Act:

1.

an investment to establish a new Canadian business; and

2.

an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business that is not reviewable pursuant to the Act.

The following investments by a non-Canadian are subject to review under the Act:

1.

direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $5 million or more, unless the acquisition is being made by a World Trade Organization ("WTO") member country investor (the United States being a member of the WTO);

2.

direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $250,000,000 or more by a WTO investor;

3.

indirect acquisition of control of Canadian business with assets of $5 million or more if such assets represent more than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review;

4.

indirect acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $50 million or more even if such assets represent less than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review; and

5.

an investment subject to notification that would not otherwise be reviewable if the Canadian business engages in the activity of publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, film or video recordings, audio or video music recordings, or music in print or machine-readable form.

Generally speaking, an acquisition is direct if it involves the acquisition of control of the Canadian business or of its Canadian parent or grandparent and an acquisition is indirect if it involves the acquisition of control of a non-Canadian parent or grandparent of an entity carrying on the Canadian business.  Control may be acquired through the acquisition of actual voting control by the acquisition of voting shares of a Canadian corporation or through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Canadian business.  No change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred if less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor.

A WTO investor, as defined in the Act, includes an individual who is a national of a member country of the World Trade Organization or who has the right of permanent residence in relation to that WTO member, a government or government agency of a WTO investor-controlled corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture and a corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture that is neither WTO-investor controlled or Canadian controlled of which two-thirds of its board of directors, general partners or trustees, as the case may be, or any combination of Canadians and WTO investors.

---

The higher thresholds for WTO investors do not apply if the Canadian business engages in activities in certain sectors such as uranium, financial services, transportation services or communications.

The Act specifically exempts certain transactions from either notification or review.  Included among this category of transactions is the acquisition of voting shares or other voting interests by any person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities.

10.E.  Taxation

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

Through consultation with counsel, our management believes that the following general summary accurately describes all material Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of our common shares who is a resident of the United States, that qualifies for benefits under the Canada-U.S. Income Tax convention (1980) (the Treaty) and who is not a resident of Canada and who does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his common shares of our company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a "non-resident holder").

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "ITA"), the regulations thereunder (the "Regulations"), the current publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of Canada, Customs and Revenue Agency, and all specific proposals (the "Tax Proposals") to amend the ITA and Regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof.  This summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their form as of the date of this Annual Report.  This description, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, government or judicial action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial, or foreign tax considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

Dividends

Dividends paid on our common shares to a non-resident holder will be subject to withholding tax.  The Treaty provides that the normal 25% withholding tax rate under the ITA is reduced to 15% on dividends paid on shares of a corporation resident in Canada (such as our company) to beneficial owners of the dividends who are residents of the United States, and may also provide for a further reduction of this rate to 5% where the beneficial owner of the dividends is a corporation that is a resident of the United States which owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the corporation paying the dividend.

No dividends have ever been paid by us.

Capital Gains

Under the ITA, a taxpayer's capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of our company is the amount, if any, by which his proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of his adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition.  One half of a capital gain (the "taxable capital gain") is included in income, and one half of a capital loss in a year (the "allowable capital loss") is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year.  The amount by which a shareholder's allowable capital loss exceeds his taxable capital gains in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.

|------------------------------------------------------- | ------
|Amended Form 20-F for 15-Month Period Ended 2007 Apr 30 | Page76





---

A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of a share of a public corporation unless the share represents "taxable Canadian property" to the holder thereof.  We are a public corporation for purposes of the ITA and a common share of our company will be taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder if, at any time during the 60 months period immediately preceding the disposition, the non-resident holder, persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arm's length, or the non-resident holder and persons with whom he did not deal at arm's length together owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class of shares of our company.  Our shares may also be taxable Canadian property to a holder if the holder acquired them pursuant to certain tax-deferred "rollover" transactions whereby the holder exchanged property that was taxable Canadian property for our shares.

Where a non-resident holder who is an individual ceased to be resident in Canada, he will be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain realized on disposition of our shares at that time.

Where a non-resident holder realizes a capital gain on a disposition of our shares that constitute taxable Canadian property, the Treaty relieves the non-resident shareholder from liability for Canadian tax on such capital gains unless:

(a)

the non-resident holder is an individual who was resident in Canada for not less than 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he ceased to be resident in Canada or are property substituted for property that was owned at that time, or

(b)

the shares formed part of the business property of a "permanent establishment" or pertained to a fixed base used for the purpose of performing independent personal services that the shareholder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.



Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences



The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares by a U.S. Holder (as hereinafter defined).  This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder.  In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences.  Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the specific federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of acquiring, holding and disposing of our common shares, based upon their individual circumstances.



The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Code, Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.



U.S. Holders



As used in this annual report, a U.S. Holder means a holder of our common shares who is (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (ii) corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia), (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if such trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and validly elected to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and (2) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.   This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and the term U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services.  This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and who own (directly and indirectly, pursuant to applicable rules of constructive ownership) no more than 10% of the value of our total outstanding stock.  This summary does not address the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares.



|                                                        |       
|------------------------------------------------------- | ------

---

If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner should consult its own tax advisors as to the U.S. tax consequences of being a partner in a partnership that acquires, holds, or disposes of our common shares.



Distributions on Our Common Shares



Subject to the discussion below under Passive Foreign Investment Company, U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to our common shares generally are required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions (without reduction of any Canadian income or other tax withheld from such distributions), equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits.  Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holders federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holders federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions (See more detailed discussion at Foreign Tax Credit below). Dividends paid on our common shares will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain U.S. corporations.



For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, dividends received by U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts from qualified foreign corporations, as defined in Section 1(h)(11) of the Code, generally are taxed at the same preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains. Although not free from doubt, it appears that we are a qualified foreign corporation, as defined in Section 1(h)(11) of the Code if we are not, and have not been, a PFIC, as described below under Passive Foreign Investment Company. We have not determined whether or not we meet the definition of a PFIC for the current tax year and any prior tax years. A corporation that is a PFIC, along with other foreign corporations given special status under the Code, for its taxable year during which it pays a dividend, or for its immediately preceding taxable year, will not be treated as a qualifying foreign corporation and dividends received by U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at ordinary income tax rates (and not at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains).



In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt.  Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss.



Disposition of Our Common Shares



Subject to the discussion below under Passive Foreign Investment Company, U.S. Holders will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of our common shares equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholders tax basis in our common shares.  Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts.  In general, gain or loss on the sale of our common shares will be long-term capital gain or loss if our common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder and are held for more than one year.  Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations.

Passive Foreign Investment Company



We have not determined whether or not we meet the definition of PFIC, within the meaning of Sections 1291 through 1298 of the Code for the current tax year and any prior tax years.  We may or may not qualify as a PFIC in subsequent years due to changes in our assets and business operations.  A U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to numerous special U.S. federal income taxation rules.  The following is a discussion of these special rules as they apply to U.S. Holders of our common shares.



Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the U.S. if, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if the corporation is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income is 50% or more.



U.S. Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to a special tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of U.S. tax attributable to undistributed earnings of a PFIC for the period during which the shares of the PFIC are owned.  This special tax would apply to any gain realized on the disposition of shares of a PFIC.  In addition, the gain is subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinary income, taxed at top marginal rates, rather than as capital gain income.  The special tax would also be payable on receipt of excess distributions (any distributions received in the current year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received during the 3 preceding years or, if shorter, the shareholders holding period).  However, if the U.S. Holder makes for any tax year a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund (QEF) with respect to such shareholders interest therein, the above-described rules generally will not apply.  Instead, the electing U.S. Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFICs ordinary earnings and any net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed.  Special rules apply to U.S. Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or persons.  Generally, shareholders do not make a QEF election unless they have sufficient information to determine their proportionate share of a corporations net capital gain and ordinary earnings. We have not calculated these amounts for any shareholder, and do not anticipate making these calculations in the foreseeable future. Therefore, U.S. Holders of our common shares should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the QEF election before making this election.



U.S. Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a mark-to-market election).  If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable years for which the mark-to-market election is made.  A U.S. Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our common shares as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holders adjusted basis in such shares.  In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for our common shares included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a U.S. Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) our common shares and the Company is a PFIC (Non-Electing U.S. Holder), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years.  A U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in our common shares will be increased or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election.  A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.

The IRS has issued proposed regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases, the basis of our common shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized.  A U.S. Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed above) would not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death.  The transferees basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the common shares are transferred.  Each U.S. Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.



The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex.  U.S. Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian or other foreign income tax with respect to the ownership of our common shares  may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such foreign tax paid or withheld. Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holders foreign source taxable income bears to such U.S. Holders worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holders various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either foreign source or U.S. source. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income including passive category income and general category income.  Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of our common shares generally will be treated as U.S. source for purposes of applying the foreign tax credit rules.  Dividends received by U.S. Holders on our common shares generally will be treated as foreign source and generally will be categorized as passive income for purposes of applying the foreign tax credit rules.  The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations with respect to the foreign tax credit are fact specific, and each U.S. Holder of our common shares should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the total voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the U.S., U.S. partnerships or corporations, or U.S. estates or trusts (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), each of which own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total voting power of the our outstanding shares (each a 10% Shareholder), we could be treated as a Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) under Section 957 of the Code.

Our classification as a CFC would effect many complex results, including that 10% Shareholders would generally (i) be treated as having received a current distribution of our Subpart F income and (ii) would also be subject to current U.S. federal income tax on their pro rata share of our earnings invested in U.S. property. The foreign tax credit may reduce the U.S. federal income tax on these amounts for such 10% Shareholders (See more detailed discussion at Foreign Tax Credit above). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of our common shares by a U.S. Holder that is or was a 10% Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale is treated as a dividend to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to the common shares sold or exchanged.

If we are classified as both a PFIC and a CFC, we generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to 10% Shareholders. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of 10% Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for its taxable years ending with or within such taxable years of 10% Shareholders.

---

We have not determined whether we meet the definition of a CFC, and there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.

The CFC rules are very complicated, and U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the CFC rules and how these rules may impact their U.S. federal income tax situation.

Information Reporting; Backup Withholding

Certain information reporting and backup withholding rules may apply with respect to certain payments related to our common shares. In particular, a payor or middleman within the U.S., or in certain cases outside the U.S., will be required to withhold at a current rate of 28% (which rate is scheduled for periodic adjustment) of any payments to a U.S. Holder regarding dividends paid by the Company, or proceeds from the sale of, such common shares within the U.S., if a U.S. Holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9) or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, the backup withholding tax requirements. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules applicable to our common shares.

ITEM 11.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We anticipate our primary market risk, if any, to be related to fluctuations in exchange rates.  Exchange rate risk may arise if we are required to use different currencies for various aspects of our operations.  At present, our functional currency is the Canadian dollar.  Based on our overall exchange rate risk as at May 31, 2008, we believe that a ten percent change in exchange rates would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or changes in financial position.  We intend to monitor our exchange rate risk and take reasonable steps to reduce our exposure.  We do not intend to purchase or sell derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

PART II

ITEM 13.  DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

There has not been a material default in the payment of principal, interest, a sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default not cured within thirty days, relating to our indebtedness or any of our significant subsidiaries.  There are no payments of dividends by us in arrears, nor has there been any other material delinquency relating to any class of our preference shares.

ITEM 14.  MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Effective March 7, 2006, our Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan, which was subsequently approved by our companys shareholders at our Annual and Special Meeting held on June 6, 2006.



The Shareholder Rights Plan is designed to ensure that all shareholders receive equal treatment and to maximize shareholder values in the event of a take-over bid or other acquisition that could lead to a change in control of our company.  It is not intended to deter take-over bids. Take-over bid contests for corporate control provide a singular opportunity for shareholders to obtain a one-time gain.  After the acquisition of effective control, the opportunity for this one-time gain normally does not reoccur.  As with most public companies, control of our company can probably be secured through the ownership of much less than 50% of our shares. Without a shareholder rights plan, it would be possible for a bidder to acquire effective control, over a relatively short period of time, through open market and private purchases, using various techniques permitted under the securities legislation in Canada, without making a bid available to all shareholders. Such acquisition of control would probably be an effective deterrent to other potential offerors.  The person acquiring control would probably, over a period of time, be able to consolidate and increase its control without the price for control ever being tested through an open market auction.   Shareholder rights plans are designed to prevent this occurrence by forcing all acquisitions of control into a public offer mode.  A public offer will not necessarily achieve all of the objectives of ensuring the maximum value to shareholders. A take-over bid can be completed in a time period as short as 35 days. This is too short a time period to ensure that the directors can develop other competing alternatives. The Shareholder Rights Plan is intended to provide time to shareholders to properly assess any take-over bid and to provide our Board of Directors with sufficient time to explore and develop alternatives for maximizing shareholder value, including, if considered appropriate, identifying and locating other potential bidders.



The following is a summary of the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan:



General



The rights have been issued pursuant to a shareholder rights plan agreement dated and effective March 7, 2006, between us and the Rights Agent.  Each right will entitle the holder to purchase from us one common share at the exercise price of C$30 per share, subject to adjustments, at any time after the separation time (defined below). However, if a flip-in event (defined below) occurs, each right will entitle the holder to receive, upon payment of the exercise price, common shares having a market value equal to two-times the exercise price. The rights are non-exercisable until the separation time.



Trading of Rights



Until the separation time, the rights will be evidenced by the outstanding certificates for common shares and the rights will be transferred with, and only with, the common shares.  As soon as practicable following the separation time, separate certificates evidencing the rights will be mailed to holders of record of common shares as of the close of business at the separation time and the separate rights certificates will thereafter evidence the rights.

|------------------------------------------------------- | ------
|Amended Form 20-F for 15-Month Period Ended 2007 Apr 30 | Page82





---

Separation Time and Acquiring Person



The rights will separate and trade apart from the common shares and become exercisable at the separation time.  Separation time generally means the close of business on the 10th trading day following the commencement or announcement of the intent of any person to commence a take-over bid, other than a permitted bid or a competing bid, but under certain circumstances can mean the eighth trading day after a person becomes an "acquiring person" by acquiring 20% or more of the voting shares of any class.



Flip-in Event



A flip-in event will, in general terms, occur when a person becomes an acquiring person.  Upon the occurrence of a flip-in event, each right will entitle the holder to acquire, on payment of the exercise price, that number of common shares having a market value equal to two-times the exercise price.  However, any rights beneficially owned by an acquiring person or by any direct or indirect transferees of such person, will be void.  The term beneficial ownership is defined to include, under certain circumstances, shares owned indirectly through affiliates, associates, trusts and partnerships, other situations of ownership deemed by operation of law, shares subject to acquisition or voting agreements and shares owned by persons acting jointly or in concert.  There are several exceptions, including exceptions directed towards investment managers, trust companies, and independent managers of pension plans who are not participating in a take-over bid.



Permitted Bids



Permitted bids are exempted from the operation of the Shareholder Rights Plan.  In summary, a permitted bid is a take-over bid made by way of take-over bid circular which complies with the following provisions:



(a) It is made to all holders of voting shares of our company of a particular class and for all those voting shares.



(b) No voting shares can be taken up and paid for before the close of business on the Permitted Bid Expiry Date, as described below, and unless more than 50% of voting shares held by shareholders independent of the offeror are tendered and not withdrawn.



(c) Voting shares may be tendered at any time until the Permitted Bid Expiry Date and may be withdrawn until taken up and paid for.



(d) If the condition described in (b) above is met, there will be a public announcement and the takeover bid will be open for a further period of 10 business days.



The Shareholder Rights Plan contains provisions designed to ensure that, if considered appropriate, the time for tendering to two or more competing permitted bids will occur on the same date.



Permitted Bid Expiry Date



The permitted bid provisions require that for a take-over to be a permitted bid it must be left open until the Permitted Bid Expiry Date, which means 60 days following the date of the take-over Bid.



Exchange Option



Under certain circumstances, the Board of Directors of our company can, on exercise of a right and payment of the exercise price, issue other company securities or assets in lieu of common shares.  The Board of Directors can also determine to issue in exchange for the rights, but without payment of the exercise price, common shares having a value equal to the exercise price or other securities or assets of our company having the same value.

---

Adjustments



The exercise price, the number and kind of shares subject to purchase upon exercise of each right and the number of rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution in the event that we take certain actions involving our share capital which would otherwise have a dilutive effect.



Redemption



At any time before the occurrence of a flip-in event, the Board of Directors may elect to redeem the rights in whole at a redemption price of $0.0001 per right.



Waiver



The Board of Directors may waive the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any flip-in event if it determines that a person became an acquiring person by inadvertence, conditional upon such person having, within 10 days after the determination by the Board of Directors, reduced its beneficial ownership of shares such that it is no longer an acquiring person.  The Board of Directors may also, until a flip-in event has occurred, waive the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any particular flip-in event, but in that event, the board of directors shall be deemed to have waived the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any other flip-in event which may arise under any take-over bid then in effect.



Amendments



The Board of Directors may amend the Shareholder Rights Plan to correct clerical or typographical errors, to maintain the validity of the plan as a result of any changes in any applicable legislation or to increase or decrease the exercise price. Any amendments required to maintain the validity of the Shareholder Rights Plan must be submitted to our companys shareholders or, after the separation time, to the holders of the rights for confirmation.



Other amendments can only be made with the approval of our shareholders or, after the separation time, the holders of the rights.  Any supplements or amendments to the Shareholder Rights Plan require the prior written consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange.



Term



The Shareholder Rights Plan has a term of 10 years and is subject to ratification at each of the shareholder meetings following the third and sixth anniversaries of the effective date of the Shareholder Rights Plan. If the Shareholder Rights Plan is not so ratified at any meeting, the Shareholder Rights Plan shall terminate forthwith.

ITEM 15.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Under the direction of our President and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that (i) our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2007, and (ii) no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the 15 months ended April 30, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting:Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Companys financial reporting.  The design and effectiveness of the Companys internal control systems over financial reporting was reviewed during the year ended April 30, 2007, and determined not to be effective.  During the evaluation process, certain weaknesses in internal controls were identified, notably:

|------------------------------------------------------- | ------

(a)

Due to the limited number of staff, it is not feasible to achieve complete segregation of incompatible duties;

(b)

Due to the size of the Company and the limited number of staff, the Company does not have the optimum complement of personnel with all of the technical accounting knowledge to address all complex and non-routine accounting transactions that may arise.

The Audit Committee has been provided information on the deficiencies.  Together, the Audit Committee, Board of Directors, and Management continue to work to mitigate the risk of a material misstatement.  Management has identified certain areas where it can improve process controls and intends to incorporate these changes into the control over the financial reporting over the next twelve months.



This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

ITEM 16.  [RESERVED]

16.A.  AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our Board of directors has determined that it does not have a member that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Form 20-F of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is independent as the term is used in Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K.

We have been unable to retain the services of a person who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.  Until we appoint such a person, we believe that the members of our Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

16.B.  CODE OF ETHICS

Effective May 31, 2008, our Board of Directors adopted an updated Code of Business Ethics and Conduct that applies to, among other persons, our company's President and Chief Executive Officer (being our principal executive officer) and our Company's Chief Financial Officer (being our principal financial and accounting officer and controller), as well as persons performing similar functions.  As adopted, our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

(1)

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

(2)

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

(3)

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

(4)

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct; and

(5)

accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct.

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct.  Further, all of our company's personnel are to accorded full access to our company's Board of Directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct by our President and Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer.

|------------------------------------------------------- | ------
|Amended Form 20-F for 15-Month Period Ended 2007 Apr 30 | Page85





---

In addition, our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws.  Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our Company's Chairman of the Audit Committee or Chief Financial Officer or, if anonymity is preferred, to an independent whistle-blower hotline operated and controlled by a third party.  It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our Company's Code of Business Ethics and Conduct by another.

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and our Whistle-Blower Policy are filed herewith with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibits 14 and 15 to this annual report.  We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and Whistle-Blower Policy to any person without charge, upon request.  Requests can be sent to: Petaquilla Minerals Ltd., Suite 410 - 475 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 4M9.

16.C.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The aggregate amounts billed by our auditors to us for each of the 15 months ended April 30, 2007, and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 ("Fiscal 2006") for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and all other fees are set forth below:

|Totals                | $424,155                      | $42,672                   

(1)  "Audit Fees" represent fees for the audit of our annual financial statements.

(2)  "Audit-Related Fees" represent fees for assurance and related services that are related to the performance of the audit.

(3)  "Tax Fees" represent fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

The Audit Committee has adopted procedures requiring Audit Committee review and approval in advance of all particular engagements for services provided by our independent auditors.  Consistent with applicable laws, the procedures permit limited amounts of services, other than audit, review or attest services, to be approved by one or more members of the audit committee pursuant to authority delegated by the audit committee, provided the Audit Committee is informed of each particular service.  All of the engagements and fees for Fiscal 2006 were approved by the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee reviews with our auditors whether the non-audit services to be provided are compatible with maintaining the auditors' independence.  The board has determined that, starting in the fiscal year ending January 31, 2005, fees paid to the independent auditors for non-audit services in any year will not exceed the fees paid for audit services during the year.  Permissible non-audit services will be limited to fees for tax services, accounting assistance or audits in connection with acquisitions, and other services specifically related to accounting or audit matters such as audits of employee benefit plans

PETAQUILLA MINERALS LTD.
  (An Exploration Stage Company)

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fifteen Months Ended April 30, 2007
  And
Twelve Months Ended January 31, 2006

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholders ofPetaquilla Minerals Ltd. (an exploration stage company)

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet ofPetaquilla Minerals Ltd. (an exploration stage company)as of April 30, 2007 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the fifteen month period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position ofPetaquilla Minerals Ltd. (an exploration stage company), as at April 30, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fifteen month period then ended in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements as at January 31, 2006 and for the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated April 5, 2006.

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph, following the opinion paragraph, when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated September 21, 2007 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Shareholders of 
  Petaquilla Minerals Ltd.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. as at January 31, 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at January 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

|   | The Company was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia and is in process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing and permits to complete the development, and future profitable productions or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

|   | These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated any operating revenues to date and has experienced recurring operating losses and accumulated a deficit of $79,521,082 as at April 30, 2007. Also the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,220,761 at April 30, 2007 (January 31, 2006  working capital of $8,689,060). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys continued operations, as intended, are dependent upon its ability to raise additional funding to meet its obligations and to attain profitable operations. Managements plan in this regard is to raise equity financing as required. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

|   | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses reported during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

|   | The Company has significant influence in Petaquilla Copper Ltd. (Copper), and uses the equity method to account for the investment. The two companies share common directors and management. The Companys proportionate share of income and expenses is recorded with a corresponding entry made to the investment account. The Company assesses whether there have been any indications of impairment and if there are and the carrying amount would not be expected to be recovered, there would be a write down to fair value.

|   | Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. To limit its credit risk exposure in excess of federally insured amounts, the Company places its deposits with financial institutions with high credit standing.

|   | An asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that the Company is required to settle. The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability. Subsequently, these capitalized asset retirement costs will be amortized to expense over the life of the related assets using the unit-of-production method. At the end of each period, the liability is increased to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying any initial fair value measurements (additional asset retirement costs).

|   | A long-lived asset is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets and liabilities to form an asset group, at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of a long-lived asset include only the future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition.

Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at rates prevailing at the respective transaction dates, and revenue and expenses are translated at rates approximating those in effect at the time of the transactions. Translation gains and losses are reflected in operations for the period.

|   | The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method, the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized as a result of the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. For the periods presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.

|   | Under the fair value-based method, stock-based payments to non-employees 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 stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically remeasured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the vesting period of the award and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments. The cost of stock- based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date. Compensation cost attributable to awards to employees is measured at fair value at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period.

|   | Future income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method under which future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income or loss in the period that substantive enactment or enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

|   | During the period ended April 30, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Geneva Gold, formerly Eurogold Mining Inc. (Eurogold), for the exploration and development of the San Juan Concessions. The San Juan Property is adjacent to the Companys Molejon gold project and the Petaquilla porphyry copper project in west central Panama. Under the agreement, Geneva Gold may earn a 60% interest in the San Juan Property by incurring exploration expenditures of at least US$6,000,000, by paying Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. US$600,000 in cash and by causing to be issued to Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. 9,000,000 shares of the public company (Pubco) to which Geneva Gold will assign its interest in the property, all over a period of three years. If Pubco acquires a 60% interest in the property, it may increase its interest to 70% by incurring US$3,000,000 in additional exploration expenditures in the fourth year. The Company was to be the operator of the project. The Company received the initial cash option payment of $111,120 (US$100,000).
|  
|   | During the current period, the Company rescinded the above agreement and returned the initial cash option payment of $111,120 (US$100,000) to Geneva Gold.

|   | Geneva Gold has claimed a loss in the share value said to be caused by the Companys news release announcing that the agreement with the Company has been rescinded. The amount of the claim has not been quantified, and according to the Companys counsel it is too early to provide an opinion on either partys chances of success as discoveries have not yet taken place. Legal fees of $14,251 were incurred up to April 30, 2007.

|   | During the period ended April 30, 2007, the shareholders of the Company voted in favor of the April 21, 2006 proposed Plan of Arrangement. During the same period, the Supreme Court approval in the Province of British Columbia was obtained for the Plan of Arrangement.

|   | The result of the Plan of Arrangement will be that each shareholder of the Company will receive one share of Petaquilla Copper Ltd. (Copper), a private company. Each shareholder will continue to hold one share of the Company and one share of Copper, for each one share of the Company held on the effective date of the Plan of Arrangement.

|   | The Effective Date of the Plan of Arrangement is October 18, 2006 whereby each holder of the common shares of the Company on October 17, 2006 is entitled to receive one common share of Copper for each common share of the Company held.

|   | According to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, the Company transferred title to Copper of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Georecursos Internacional S.A., the holder of the 52% interest in the Ley Petaquilla concession lands. The Company would retain 100% ownership of the gold and precious metal deposits within the Ley Petaquilla concession as well as all the other concession lands adjacent to the Ley Petaquilla concession.

|   | The Company is required to post a performance bond of US $780,000 to maintain its interest in the Companys Molejon property. As at January 31, 2004, the Company fulfilled
      this requirement by holding a Republic of Panama Sovereign Bond (the Panama Bond) with a face value of US$750,000, which the Company had purchased earlier at a discount of US$630,000, and an additional one-year term deposit of
      US$31,175. The discount on the Panama Bond was being amortized to income over the original term of the bond. The Panama Bond was also returning a portion of its principal to the Company over the term of the loan. During the fiscal year ended
      January 31, 2005, the Panama Bond was redeemed early resulting in a gain of $198,142. The Company has pledged a guaranteed investment certificate in the amount of US$780,000 as security for a letter of credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia to
      satisfy the requirements of the performance bond. The Canadian dollar equivalent of the US$780,000 investment is $863,226 as at April 30, 2007 after recognizing a foreign exchange loss of $29,016 from the January 31, 2006 balance of
      $892,242.

      related costs. The Company also pledged as security for financings (note 9) a term deposit in the amount of $294,800 (US $250,000).

The warrant will terminate within 20 days unless exercised in the event the Companys closing stock price meets or exceeds $2.00 for 10 consecutive trading days and the Company issues a press release of such an event. The Company paid finders fees of $534,053 for net proceeds of $8,933,334. The warrants were exercised during fiscal 2007.

|    | During the period ended April 30, 2007, the Company received approval for its new stock option plan (the New Plan) which authorizes the board of directors to grant
      incentive stock options to directors, officers and employees. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Companys New Plan is 10,000,000.

|    | On December 8, 2006, no shares remained in reserve under the Companys former incentive stock option plan (the Former Plan). The 2,556,144 options that remained
      outstanding as of December 8, 2006 under the Former Plan were carried forward to the New Plan. In January 2007, the Company granted a total of 5,989,543 incentive stock options under the New Plan. In April 2007, 150,000 incentive stock options were
      granted. As at April 30, 2007, the total number of outstanding incentive stock options under the New Plan is 8,115,767.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|   
|    | Prior to the Plan of Arrangement taking effect, and in order to create unallocated options to be granted in the future to new employees, officers and directors, the existing optionees
      were asked to voluntarily reduce the number of shares under option to each of them to 60% of the number of shares held under the option on the day before the Effective Date (October 18, 2006) of the Plan of Arrangement. All of the
      optionees agreed to this arrangement except for an option holder holding 675,000 options who elected to retain the number of options held under the existing grants. Each revised option outstanding would enable the option holder to receive one share
      of the Company and one share of Copper upon exercising. For example, when an optionee prior to the Effective Date held an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company, that optionee after the Effective Date would hold an option to purchase
      60,000 shares of the Company and 60,000 shares of Copper. Both options must be exercised together. The modification of stock options as a result of the Plan of Arrangement resulted in no incremental stock based compensation expense to
      recognize.

|    | The aggregate number of common shares reserved for issuance to any person may not exceed 5% of the number of outstanding common shares. The exercise price of the options will be determined by the fair market value of the shares at the closing price on the date prior to date of the grant. Options granted must be exercised no later than 10 years after the date of grant or such lesser period as may be determined by the Board. The Board may at its discretion in any granting of an option set a vesting period whereby the option may only be exercisable in pre-determined instalments.

On October 17, 2006, the Company issued share purchase warrants in connection with the non-brokered private placement which closed during the period. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Company for a period of five years at a price of $3.00 per share. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 398,000 finders warrants, each finders warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $3.00 per share for a period of five years.

The weighted average fair value of the finders warrants issued is estimated approximately $2.06 for twelve months ended January 31, 2006 and fifteen months ended April 30, 2007 by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

|    | Until such time as Copper has been listed on a recognized Canadian stock exchange (the Copper Listing Date), the Copper Warrant and the PTQ Warrant must be exercised together. From and after the first five trading days after the Copper Listing Date, the Warrants can be exercised separately, and in that event, the respective exercise prices of the PTQ Warrants and the Copper Warrants will be based on $3.00 multiplied by the ratio of the five day volume weighted average price of each of the PTQ and Copper shares during the first five trading days for Copper.
|   
|    | The PTQ Warrants were subject to a hold period that expired on February 18, 2007. The Copper shares and Copper Warrants will be subject to resale restrictions until such time that Copper becomes a reporting issuer or another exemption from resale restrictions is available. The PTQ common shares will be freely tradable following the Effective Date.

|    | (b)    Geneva Gold Ltd. has claimed for loss in share value said to be caused by Petaquillas news release announcing that the agreement with the Company has been rescinded. The amount of the claim has not been quantified, and according to Company counsel it is too early to provide an opinion on either partys chances of success as discoveries have not yet taken place. The claim is currently under the review of an arbitrator whose decision will be final and binding on all parties.
