Although the Company believes that the plans, intentions and
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot be certain that these plans, intentions
or expectations will be achieved. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated,
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information contained in this report. Disclosure of important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s plans, intentions or expectations are included under
the heading “Risk Factors” in the Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (“AIF”)
and the management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition for the year ended December
31, 2011 (“MD&A”), each of which is included as an exhibit to this report.



Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements and information. Factors that could cause
or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: unexpected changes in business and economic conditions, including
the global financial and capital markets; significant increases or decreases in gold prices; changes in interest and currency exchange
rates; timing and amount of production; unanticipated changes in grade of ore; unanticipated recovery or production problems; changes
in operating costs; operational problems at the Company’s mining properties; metallurgy, processing, access, availability
of materials, equipment, supplies and water; determination of reserves; costs and timing of development of new reserves; results
of current and future exploration and development activities; results of future feasibility studies; joint venture relationships;
political or economic instability, either globally or in the countries in which the Company operates; local and community impacts
and issues; timing of receipt of government approvals; accidents and labour disputes; environmental costs and risks; competitive
factors, including competition for property acquisitions; availability of external financing at reasonable rates or at all; and
the factors discussed in this report under the heading “Risk Factors” in the AIF and MD&A and other risks and uncertainties
set forth the Company’s periodic report filings with Canadian securities authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”).



Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability
to control or predict. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that may
affect the Company. The Company may note additional factors elsewhere in this report and the exhibits hereto. All forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date made. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company,
or persons acting on the Company’s behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except
as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or information.



reporting
requirements for disclosure of mineral properties



Certain information in this Annual Report on Form 40-F and the
exhibits hereto concerning our properties and operations has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards under applicable
Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. The terms “Mineral Resource”,“Measured Mineral Resource”,“Indicated Mineral Resource”and “Inferred
Mineral Resource”used in the AIF and MD&A which are included as exhibits to this report are Canadian mining
terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under guidelines set out in the Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral
Reserves adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Council on December 11, 2005 (“CIM Standards”).



While the terms “Mineral Resource”,“Measured
Mineral Resource”,“Indicated Mineral Resource”and “Inferred Mineral Resource”are recognized and required by Canadian securities regulations, they are not recognized by the SEC. Pursuant to United States
standards as promulgated by the SEC under Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless
the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the
reserve determination is made. “Inferred Mineral Resource”has a great amount of uncertainty as to its
existence, as to whether it can be mined and as to its economic and legal feasibility, except in rare cases. It cannot be assumed
that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource”will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under
Canadian securities regulations, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic
studies, except in rare cases. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a “Measured Mineral Resource”
or “Indicated Mineral Resource” will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Readers are also cautioned not
to assume that all or any part of an“Inferred Mineral Resource”exists, or is economically
or legally mineable.In addition, disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations;
however, the SEC only permits registrants to report SEC compliant reserves in ounces, and requires reporting of mineralization
that does not qualify as reserves as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. As such, certain information
contained in this report concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable
to similar information made public by United States companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.

NYSE AMEX EQUITIES EXCHANGE CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE REQUIREMENTS



The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE Amex
Equities Exchange (“NYSE Amex”). Section 110 of the NYSE Amex company guide permits it to consider the laws, customs
and practices of foreign issuers in relaxing certain of its listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from NYSE Amex listing criteria
based on these considerations. Any listed company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification
from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law. A description of the significant
ways in which the Company’s governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies pursuant to NYSE Amex standards
is as follows:

in which our governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies pursuant to NYSE Amex standards concerns
shareholder approval requirements. Section 713 of the NYSE Amex company guide requires a listed company to obtain the approval
of its shareholders for certain types of securities issuances, including private placements that may result in the issuance of
common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) equal to 20% or more of the presently outstanding shares for less
than the greater of book or market value of the shares. In general, there is no such requirement under the rules of the Canadian
Business Corporation Act or under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange unless the transaction results in the issuance of common
shares (or securities convertible or exercisable into common shares) equal to 25% or more of the currently issued and outstanding
shares of the listed company or a change of control. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the Toronto Stock Exchange may,
pursuant to Section 604(e) of the Toronto Stock Exchange company guide, grant waivers to its shareholder approval requirements
where the listed company would suffer financial hardship in complying with such requirements. The conditions under which the Toronto
Stock Exchange grants such waivers from its shareholder approval requirements may depart from similar NYSE Amex waivers or exemptions,
if any. The Company will seek a waiver from the NYSE Amex’s shareholder approval requirements in circumstances where the
securities issuance does not trigger such a requirement under the rules of the Canadian Business Corporation Act or under the rules
of the Toronto Stock Exchange.



Proxy Delivery Requirement: The NYSE Amex requires the
solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings, and requires that these proxies shall be
solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to SEC proxy rules. The Company is a “foreign private issuer”
as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, and the equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from the proxy
rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14 (f) of the Exchange Act. The Company solicits proxies in accordance with
applicable rules and regulations in Canada.



The foregoing is consistent with the laws, customs and practices
in Canada.

and CFO, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding annual and interim financial statement disclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING



Management’s Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting



The Company’s management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s
principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management
and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.



Management conducted an evaluation of the
design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria
set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.



The Company’s Independent Registered
Chartered Accountants have issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2011, included with the Audited Financial Statements, which are filed as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated by reference
in this Annual Report on Form 40-F.



Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting



During the period covered by this annual
report on Form 40-F, no change occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.



During 2011, the Company restated balances within the March
31, 2011 condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting at both December 31,
2010 and March 31, 2011. Based on the reassessment, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that
as of December 31, 2010 the internal controls over financial reporting were effective. For the period ended March 31, 2011, they
concluded that a deficiency existed which resulted in the restatement of balances during that period but that this did not represent
a material weakness and internal controls over financial reporting were effective. During the three months ended June 30, 2011
Management amended procedures related to the accounting for flow-through shares to include procedures to capture all activity associated
with flow-through share offerings including the renunciation of tax benefits.



Other than as described above, there have
been no significant changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended December 31, 2011 that could
have affected or are likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.



Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness
of Controls



Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed,
have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
