DONNER MINERALS LTD.
(An exploration stage company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
August 31, 2003
(Canadian Dollars)
(Unaudited)  1.  Nature of Operations
 
 The Company is a public company incorporated under the Company Act, British Columbia. Its shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The principal business of the Company is to explore mineral properties. As of the date of this report, the Company has not determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and future profitable production from the property or proceeds from disposition.
 
 2.  Significant Accounting Policies
 
 These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principals and they follow the same accounting policies and methods that were used in the Companys annual financial statements of February 28, 2003 except for the following item:
 
 As of March 21, 2003, the Company changed its method of accounting for its investment in Knight Resources Ltd. ("Knight") from the cost method to the equity method (note 5). The Company completed an 8,000,000 common share private placement in Knight and as a result exercises significant influence over Knight. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and is adjusted to recognize the Companys share of earnings or losses and reduced by dividends and distributions received.
 
 3.  Change in Accounting Policy
 
 Effective February 28, 2003, the Company changed its method of accounting for mineral exploration expenditures, from deferring them until the viability of a project was determined, to charging them to operations as incurred. Under the new policy, only expenditures incurred on properties identified as having substantial evidence that a commercial body of ore has been located are capitalized and accounted for in accordance with the Companys accounting policy for mineral properties.
 
 As a result of this change, the August 31, 2002 comparative figures have been restated for comparative purposes. The net loss has been increased by $844,574 to $1,891,731 and loss per share has been increased by $0.02 to $0.04.

 (a)  The Company completed its private placement investment in Knight of 8,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per share by advancing the remaining $780,000 to Knight during the three months ended May 31, 2003. As at August 31, 2003, the Company holds approximately 24% of the outstanding common shares of Knight at 8,160,750 common shares.  This investment will be accounted for using the equity method. Knight has directors and officers in common with the Company.
 
 The cost of the Companys investment in Knight exceeded its share of the underlying fair value of Knights net assets at March 21, 2003, the deemed date of acquisition for accounting purposes, by approximately $571,000. This excess is attributable to Knights mineral properties and will be amortized against the Companys share of Knights net income or loss if and when production is attained.
 
 As at March 21, 2003, the Company changed its method of accounting for its investment in Knight from the cost method to the equity method. As at March 21, 2003, the carrying value of the investment in Knight was $828,518. The Companys share of Knights net loss from March 21, 2003 to August 31, 2003 was $91,236. As a result of share issuances by Knight after March 21, 2003 and up to August 31, 2003, the Company recorded a gain on deemed disposition of $381,339.
 
 (b)  T he Company received proceeds on the convertible debenture owing from Knight in the amount of $311,556 which included $31,556 in accrued interest. The convertible debenture was written down in previous periods to better reflect its market value at those times, and consequently, the Company reported a gain on redemption of $267,954.
 
 6.  Mineral Properties
 
 The Companys mineral properties are comprised of wholly owned mineral claims and interests in joint venture agreements in South Voisey Bay, Labrador and an option earn-in agreement in Stephens Lake, Manitoba, Canada. Although the Company holds some interests in mineral properties through joint venture agreements, none of the operations are carried on through joint venture entities.

  8.  Stock-based Compensation
 
 The Company uses the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock-based awards granted to employees and directors. Under this method, compensation cost is only recorded when the exercise price is below the market price of the stock on the date of grant. During the six months ended August 31, 2003, the Company incurred $nil stock compensation cost:

 There were no stock options granted to non-employees during the period.
 
 If the Company used the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based awards granted to employees and directors, the cost of the options granted during the six months ended August 31, 2003 would have been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions for each grant:

 If the Company had used the fair value based method, pro forma loss would have amounted to $439,637 (an increase of $32,000) and pro forma loss per share would have been unchanged at $0.01 for the six months ended August 31, 2003.

    Principal Activity of the Company
 
 Donner Minerals Ltd. (the "Company") is a mineral exploration company with a project in the South Voisey Bay area of Labrador, Newfoundland and a project in the Stephens Lake area of Manitoba. The Companys partners in the South Voisey Bay Project ("SVB Project") include Falconbridge Limited ("Falconbridge"), Teck Cominco and various junior resource exploration companies. The Companys partner in the Stephens Lake Project is Falconbridge. The Company is also carrying out regional exploration in Labrador with Falconbridge as part of the Labrador Regional Project.
 
 South Voisey Bay Project, Labrador
 
 The South Voisey Bay Project is the Companys most advanced exploration project and is located 90 km south of Incos Voiseys Bay deposits. The South Voisey Bay Project covers approximately 650 square kilometres in which the Company has varying interests ranging from 52% to 77%.
 
 Exploration work on the South Voisey Bay Project is currently being carried out by Falconbridge who has an option to earn a 50% interest in the entire South Voisey Bay Project by spending $23 million on exploration, over 5 years.
 
 In April 2003, a 2,200 line kilometre MegaTEM survey was begun on the eastern half of the South Voisey Bay Project. MegaTEM is a deep penetrating airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey. The survey was designed to detect conductors to a depth of 300 to 400 metres on a virtually unexplored portion of the property, which has only been covered by a shallow penetrating (less than 100 metres) helicopter borne electromagnetic and magnetic survey. This portion of the property is prospective for nickel sulphides associated with blind olivine gabbro intrusive bodies and related feeder systems.
 
 In early July, geological and geophysical follow-up of the airborne MegaTEM electromagnetic anomalies began in order to identify high priority anomalies for diamond drilling. In the North Gabbro area, the geophysical ground follow-up consisted of widely spaced AMT electromagnetic (EM) ground geophysics followed by large loop EM surveys. In the South Gabbro area, geophysical ground follow-up consisted of large loop EM surveys.
 
 In early September the Company announced that three high priority target areas were selected for drilling. The geophysical targets are located in an east-west trending structure in an area predominated by northwest  southeast features. The targets also coincide with residual east-west gravity and magnetic features.
 
 All three target areas are located on the North Gabbro in the general area of the highest grades and nickel tenors intersected on the South Voisey Bay Project to date. Two of the target areas are located on the Donner/Commander joint venture property. One target area is located on the boundary of the Donner/Northern Abitibi joint venture property and the SVBN property.
 
 On October 30, 2003, the Company reported that three holes, totalling 1,275 metres, were drilled. No sulphides of economic interest were intersected, however the surface anomalies were explained by the mineralization in the drill holes. A detailed description of the three holes is available in the Companys news release dated October 30, 2003.
 
 Subsequent to drilling the three holes, three new large loop EM geophysical surveys were carried out in the North Gabbro area to identify additional drill targets. No new drill targets were identified in this area and Falconbridge has advised the Company that it does not intend to carry out any additional drilling this season.
 
 Falconbridge has spent approximately $4.8 million to date on the project and has met the requirements up to the end of 2003 to maintain its option.
 
 Labrador Regional Project
 
 The Labrador Regional Project is a joint venture between the Company and Falconbridge to explore for nickel-copper-cobalt deposits in Labrador outside of the Voiseys Bay and South Voisey Bay areas. Under the Labrador Regional Agreement, the partners have agreed to each spend a minimum of $200,000 per year, over a two-year period. Any properties acquired will form part of a Joint Venture in which both the Company and Falconbridge will have a 50% interest.
 
 The Company and Falconbridge believe that areas of Labrador, other than Voiseys Bay and South Voisey Bay, have the potential to host Voiseys Bay like deposits. Many areas of Labrador were underexplored during the Voiseys Bay staking rush, when the details of the Voiseys Bay model were not available. The purpose of the Labrador Regional Agreement is to combine the ideas and expertise of the Company and Falconbridge to realize this potential.
 
 In the first year of the agreement, a field program consisting of geochemical, geological and geophysical surveys, and property evaluation was carried out in July and August 2002. The Company and Falconbridge are carrying out follow-up work on areas of interest identified by the 2002 program. As of the date of this report, the results of this work have not resulted in the acquisition of any ground.
  Stephens Lake Project, Manitoba
 
 The Stephens Lake Project covers approximately 3,700 square kilometers and 110 kilometers of strike length along the newly interpreted extension of the Thompson Nickel Belt, one of the most important nickel producing regions in the world. The interpreted extension is known as the Stephens Lake Belt. The Company has the option to earn a 50% participating joint  venture interest in the Stephens Lake Project by incurring a total of $5 million of expenditures on exploration and related work on or before the end of December 2006.
 
 The deposits in the Thompson Nickel Belt occur where ultramafic rocks interact with sulphide iron formation. The ultramafic rocks provide the nickel and the sulphide iron formation provides the sulphur required to form the nickel sulphide deposits in the Thompson model.
 
 In March 2003, three holes, totalling 992 metres were drilled in the initial phase of the 2003 Stephens Lake exploration program. Significantly, one of the holes intersected 72 metres of sulphide iron formation, a key ingredient in the Thompson Nickel Belt model. The other key ingredient, ultramafic rocks, was intersected in early 2002 by a previous owner exploring for diamonds on ground that is now part of the Stephens Lake Project.
 
 While nickel and copper assays were not significant, the discovery of sulphide iron formation and the occurrence of ultramafic rocks on the property reinforces the interpretation that the Stephens Lake Belt is the extension of the Thompson Nickel Belt, and confirms the potential for nickel sulphide deposits similar to Thompson.
 
 The EM conductors in the other two holes were explained by the intersection of graphitic sediments. The holes were widely spaced over a 50 kilometre strike length of the Stephens Lake Belt and were drilled on separate geophysical targets.
 
 A follow-up 2003 program is currently being designed. A large portion of the current land position, now totaling approximately 4,000 square kilometres, was not covered in the 2002 GEOTEM survey. Additional airborne and ground geophysics will be required to generate targets for future drilling.
 
 As of August 31, 2003, the Company has advanced Falconbridge $1,500,000 for Stephens Lake exploration and must advance a further $500,000 during the 2003 calendar year in order to keep the option in good standing.
  Investment in Knight Resources Ltd.
 
 On January 24, 2003, the Company announced that it had subscribed for, through a private placement, 8,000,000 units of Knight Resources Ltd. ("Knight") at a total cost to the Company of $800,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share of Knight and one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of Knight at a price of $0.15 until March 25, 2005.
 
 The Company has taken this interest in Knight in order to have a significant exposure to, and indirect interest in, Anglo American (Canada) Exploration Limiteds ("Anglo American") West Raglan Project. In January 2003, Knight entered into an Option Agreement with Anglo American to earn a 49% interest in the West Raglan Project (see Knight news release dated January 24, 2003 for terms of the option earn-in).
 
 The West Raglan Project, located in Northern Quebec, is comprised of 1,754 contiguous map-staked claims covering approximately 72,000 hectares of the western part of the Cape Smith Belt.
 
 The northern portion of the Cape Smith Belt, known as the Raglan Horizon, hosts Falconbridges Raglan deposits, which are estimated to contain a total of 25 million tonnes averaging 2.8% nickel, 0.8% copper and significant platinum group elements and cobalt. The southern portion of the Cape Smith Belt, referred to here as the Expo-Ungava Horizon, hosts the Expo-Ungava deposit and the Mesamax occurrence.
 
 The eastern edge of the West Raglan Project is located approximately 80 kilometers west of Falconbridges Katinniq mine. The West Raglan Project covers over 70 kilometers of the prospective Raglan horizon and 65 km of the prospective Expo-Ungava horizon, as confirmed by Anglo Americans 2002 field program.
 
 The 2003 program began with a 4,500 line kilometer, deep penetrating SPECTREM airborne electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic survey. The anomalies identified by the airborne survey were followed up with geological mapping, prospecting, geochemistry and ground geophysics.
 
 In July, Knight reported that high grade boulders were discovered on surface in area now referred to as Frontier. Sixteen diamond drill holes were drilled in the Frontier area, several of which intersected high grade nickel mineralization analogous to that seen at Falconbridges Raglan deposits.
 
 Geological information on the West Raglan Project is available on Knights website: www.knightresources.ca . A summary of the 2003 drilling on the West Raglan Project was included in Knights October 14, 2003 news release.
 
 As at August 31, 2003 the Company holds approximately 24% of Knights issued and outstanding common shares. As a result of Knight and Anglo Americans success in the 2003 exploration program, the Companys investment in Knight has increased significantly in value and has become increasingly important to the Company.
 
 Operating Results
 
 The Company incurred a loss of $407,637 (2002 - $1,891,731). The Companys loss per share was $0.01 for 2003 compared to a loss per share of $0.04 for 2002.
 
 Effective February 28, 2003, the Company changed its method of accounting for mineral exploration expenditures, from deferring them until the viability of a project was determined, to charging them to operations as incurred. Under the new policy, only expenditures incurred on properties identified as having a commercial body of ore will be capitalized and accounted for in accordance with the Companys accounting policy for mineral properties.
 
 As a result of this change, the August 31, 2002 comparative figures have been restated for comparative purposes. The 2002 net loss has been increased by $844,574 to $1,891,731 and loss per share has been increased by $0.02 to $0.04.
 
 The Company expended $327,318 (net of $15,028 received in the form of government grants) on its Stephens Lake Project (2002 - $843,497) and $106,967 on its Labrador Regional Project (2002 - $190,958). The Company has not expended any funds (2002 - $1,077) on its South Voisey Bay properties because Falconbridge is incurring the bulk of the exploration costs in order to earn a 50% interest in the South Voisey Bay Project.
 
 The Company recorded stock-based compensation of $nil (2002 - $100,000) for 2003. The Company follows the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock based awards. The expense is the result of granting stock options to certain employees with exercise prices less than the market price of the stock on the day of grant. This is a non-cash transaction.
 
 If the Company had used the fair value based method, pro forma loss would have amounted to $439,637 (an increase of $32,000) and pro forma loss per share would have been unchanged at $0.01 for the six months ended August 31, 2003.
 
 Promotion and travel have both decreased in 2003 compared to 2002 because Management did not spend as much time traveling throughout Canada and Europe. During 2002, the Company revised and updated its internet web site and printed significantly more promotional material.
 
 The Companys administration and management fees were $267,667 during 2003 compared to $274,500 for 2002. The Company paid $58,667 (2002 - $80,000) to the President, $120,000 (2002 - $72,000) to the CEO and $38,000 (2002 - $60,000) to the exploration manager for management services.
 
 The Company paid an arms-length private company $51,000 (2002 - $64,000) for accounting, secretarial and general administrative services and paid the same company $24,000 (2002 - $24,000) for rent.
 
 During the six months ended August 31, 2003, the Company received proceeds totaling $311,556 for the redemption of the Knight convertible debenture. The redemption included 100% of the principle, being $280,000, and accrued interest of $31,556. The convertible debenture was written down in prior periods to better reflect its market value at those times, and consequently, the Company reported a gain on redemption of $267,954.
 
 The Companys investment in Knight (discussed above) is being accounted for using the equity method, whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost and is adjusted to recognize the Companys share of earnings or losses and reduced by dividends and distributions received. The Companys share of Knights loss from March 21, 2003, the deemed date of acquisition for accounting purposes, to August 31, 2003 amounted to $91,236. Subsequent to March 21, 2003 and up to August 31, 2003, Knight issued common shares out of its treasury which had the effect of diluting the Companys investment in Knight. As a result, the Company has recorded a gain on deemed disposition of $381,339.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 The Companys working capital position at August 31, 2003 was $1,492,957 compared to $2,561,943 at February 28, 2003. The decrease in working capital is mainly due to the Company advancing Knight $780,000 to complete its investment in Knight and a reduction in advances for exploration of $259,285.
 
 During the six months ended August 31, 2003, the Company issued 3,405,000 common shares for net proceeds of $413,000 pursuant the exercise of stock options and warrants. It is anticipated that the Company will have the necessary funds available to meet its fiscal 2004 operating costs and its calendar 2003 exploration commitments.
 
 It is also anticipated that the 2004 operating expenditures for the next six months will be comparable or less than 2003.
 
 Investor Relations
 
 The Company responded to shareholder inquiries throughout the six months ended August 31, 2003. In March 2003, the Company participated in, and had a booth at, the Prospector and Developers Association Conference in Toronto. The Company also had booths at investment conferences in Montreal (April), Vancouver (June), New York (September), and Calgary (October).
 
 In April 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Rock Marketing Inc. ("Rock"), whereby Rock provided Investor Relations services for an initial term of 6 months, which term has been subsequently extended on a month to month basis. Rock focuses on servicing the Companys European shareholders, bringing greater attention to the Companys Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing, and introducing and presenting the Company to interested investors. The Company pays Rock $5,000 per month.
