In the Annual Report furnished in this Form 20-F, unless otherwise specified, all monetary amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. The noon rate of exchange reported by the Bank of Canada for the conversion of United States dollars into Canadian dollars on March 17, 2006 was U.S.$1.00 = Cdn$1.1566.   A table disclosing the high, low, year-end, and average exchange rates for the previous five fiscal years is located in ITEM 3  Selected Financial Data.

THIS REPORT AND THE MATERIAL INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN CONTAIN CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE UNITED STATES PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements.  The wordsbelieve, expect, anticipate, contemplate, target, plan, intends, estimate, may, will and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements include estimates, forecasts, and statements with respect to, among other things, the size and quality of our mineral reserves and mineral resources, progress in the development of our mineral properties, capital and production costs, costs related to environmental protection, the ability to finance our projects and our financial results.  Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Factors that may cause actual results to vary include, but are not limited to, the speculative nature of mineral exploration, development and mining, including inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with respect to size, grade and recoverability of mineral reserves and resources), operating and technical difficulties, risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, unusual or unexpected formations, industrial accidents, pressures and cave-ins (and the risk of inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance to cover these risks), government action or delays in the receipt of governmental approvals, permits and licenses, changes in resource prices and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the availability of financing alternatives, acquisitions or divestitures of assets and the successful selection and completion of business opportunities made available to us, contests to the title of our property and changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets.

Statements relating to estimates of reserves and resources are also forward-looking statements as they involve risks and assumptions (including but not limited to assumptions with respect to future commodity prices and production economics) that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities and grades estimated and are capable of economic extraction.

Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.  All of the forward-looking statements made in this Report or incorporated by reference herein are qualified by these cautionary statements.  Reference should be had under Item 3  Risk Factors for a discussion for some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements.

The Corporation does not assume any obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Risk Factors

Nature of Mineral Exploration and Mining

At the present time, the Corporation does not hold any interest in a mining property in production. The Corporation's viability and potential success lie in its ability to develop, exploit, and generate revenue out of



5.



---

mineral deposits.  The exploration and development of mineral deposits involve significant financial risks over a significant period of time, which, even a combination of careful evaluation, experience, and knowledge may not eliminate.  While discovery of a mine may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  Major expenses may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a site.  Its impossible to ensure that the current or proposed exploration programs on exploration properties in which the Corporation has an interest will result in a profitable commercial mining operation.

The operations of the Corporation are subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to exploration and development of mineral properties, any of which could result in damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability for any or all damage.  The activities of the Corporation may be subject to prolonged disruptions due to weather conditions depending on the location of operations in which the Corporation has interests.  Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected formation, rock bursts, pressures, cave-ins, flooding or other conditions may be encountered in the drilling and removal of material.  While the Corporation may obtain insurance against certain risks in such amounts as it considers adequate, the nature of these risks are such that liabilities could exceed policy limits or could be excluded from coverage.  There are also risks against which the Corporation cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure.  The potential costs which could be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting the future earnings and competitive position of the Corporation and, potentially, its financial position.

Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit, such as its size and grade, proximity to infrastructure, financing costs and governmental regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, infrastructure, land use, importing and exporting and environmental protection. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Corporation not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Fluctuating Prices

Factors beyond the control of the Corporation may affect the marketability of any diamonds, gold or any other minerals discovered.  Resource prices have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Corporation's control.  The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted. The following table sets forth in U.S. dollars the high, average and low sales price of gold for the last five years:

Permits and Licenses

The operations of the Corporation require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities.  The Corporation believes that it presently holds all necessary licenses and permits required to carry on with activities which it is currently conducting under applicable laws and regulations and the Corporation believes it is presently complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits.  However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in regulations and in various operating circumstances.  Also, additional permits and licenses will be required as the development of a property progresses.  There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits required to carry out exploration, development, and mining operations at its projects.



6.



---

Competition

The mineral exploration and mining business is competitive in all of its phases.  The Corporation competes with numerous other companies and individuals, including competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources than the Corporation, in the search for and the acquisition of attractive mineral properties.  The ability of the Corporation to acquire properties in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop its present properties, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration.  There is no assurance that the Corporation will continue to be able to compete successfully with its competitors in acquiring such properties or prospects.

Financing Risks

The Corporation has limited financial resources and there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects or to fulfill its obligations under applicable agreements.  Although the Corporation has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable.  Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the property interests of the Corporation with the possible dilution or loss of such interests.

No Assurance of Titles

The acquisition of title to mineral projects is a very detailed and time-consuming process. Although the Corporation has taken precautions to ensure that legal title to its property interests is properly recorded in the name of the Corporation, there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured.  The interests of the Corporation in its properties in Indonesia are held under applications for contracts of work, which have yet to receive final approval from the Government of Indonesia, and therefore may not be approved at all or, if approved, may not cover all of the area applied for.  Furthermore, there is no assurance that the interests of the Corporation in any of its properties may not be challenged or impugned.

Environmental Regulations

The operations of the Corporation are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution.  A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties.  In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments.  Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards, and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent.  Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors, officers and employees.  The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations.

Currency Fluctuation

The Corporation's currency fluctuation exposure is primarily to the US dollar as it relates to the Canadian dollar as the Atlanta Gold Property is in the United States of America and substantially all material commitments on the Atlanta Gold Property are in US dollars.  Such fluctuations may materially affect the Corporation's financial position and results of the Corporation.

Conflicts of Interest

The directors and officers of the Corporation may serve as directors or officers of other public resource companies or have significant shareholdings in other public resource companies.  Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions and investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of the Corporation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a



7.



---

meeting of the directors of the Corporation, a director is required under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) to disclose the conflict of interest and to abstain from voting on the matter.

From time to time several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, permitting involvement in a greater number of programs and reducing financial exposure in respect of any one program.  It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.  In determining whether or not the Corporation will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Corporation may be exposed and its financial position at that time.

Estimates of Reserves, Mineral Deposits and Production Costs

Although the reserve and mineral deposit figures included or incorporated by reference herein have been carefully prepared by the Corporation, 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 gold or other mineral from 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 economically exploited.  Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental 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 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.  Material changes in reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects.  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.  There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the calculation of reserves and corresponding grades being mined or dedicated to future production.  Until ore is actually mined and processed, reserves and grades must be considered as estimates only.  In addition, the quantity of reserves may vary depending on mineral prices.  Any material change in reserves, or grades or stripping ratios will affect the economic viability of the projects.  In addition, there can be no assurance that gold recoveries or other mineral recoveries in pilot plant tests will be duplicated during production.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning Estimates of Measured and Indicated Resources

This document uses the terms measured resources and indicated resources.  The Corporation advises  investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning Estimates of Inferred Resources

This document uses the term inferred resources.  The Corporation advises investors that while this term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize it. Inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility.  It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or prefeasibility-studies, except in rare cases.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

U.S. Mining Law

Proposed legislation has been introduced in the United States Congress which would supplant or radically alter the provisions of the Mining Law of 1872 which currently applies to unpatented mining claims held in the United States of America.  The Atlanta Gold Property includes unpatented mining claims.  If enacted, such legislation could substantially increase the cost of holding unpatented mining claims and could materially impair the ability to develop mineral resources on unpatented mining claims.  Under the proposed legislation, the ability of companies to obtain a patent on unpatented mining claims would be nullified or substantially impaired.  Moreover, such proposed legislation contains provisions for the payment of royalties to the federal government in respect of production from unpatented mining claims, which could materially and adversely affect the potential for development of such claims and the economics of operating existing mines on federal unpatented mining claims. In addition, the proposed legislation may prohibit mineral exploration or development, even on existing unpatented mining claims, unless and until a federal agency finds that mining is a suitable use of the land in question, a review process which could take years.

Incorporation

The Corporation exists under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and all of the Corporation's directors and officers are residents of Canada. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon the Corporation or upon the directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the United States securities laws. A judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon such civil liabilities may be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had jurisdiction, as determined by the Canadian court, in the matter. There is substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons or the Corporation predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.

ITEM 4.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

History and development of the Company

Twin Mining Corporation (the "Corporation") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia under the name Atlanta Gold Corporation by memorandum of incorporation dated March 6, 1985. On April 3, 1997, Atlanta Gold Corporation acquired Voisey Bay Resources Inc. pursuant to a plan of arrangement effected under the Companies Act (British Columbia) and changed the name of Atlanta Gold Corporation to Twin Gold Corporation.  On March 15, 2000, the Corporation was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and the name of the Corporation was changed from Twin Gold Corporation to Twin Mining Corporation.  The registered and executive office of the Corporation is located at Suite 1250, 155 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5H 3B7.  The Corporation has a field office located at Suite B, 1509 Tyrell Lane, Boise, Idaho, 83706 and a registered head office for the territory of Nunavut, Canada, located at the P.O. Box 1779, Building 1088C, Iqaluit, Nunavut, X0A 0H0.

The Corporation has two subsidiaries, Atlanta Gold Corporation (Atlanta U.S.) (a Nevada company) and Voisey Bay Resources Inc. ("Voisey Bay") (a British Columbia company), both of which are wholly-owned.

In March 2005, the Corporation transferred the Layuh gold property from Twin Gold Layuh Mining Corporation to the Corporation and wound down two companies, Twin Gold Cayman Corporation and Twin Gold Layuh Mining (Resources) Corporation ("Twin Gold Layuh") (each of which is a Cayman Islands company).

The Corporation is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral resource properties. The Corporation has various interests in five mineral resource properties: 100% interest in the Torngat diamond property ("Torngat") located in the Province of Québec, consisting of one mining exploration permit and thirty four mining claims; 100% interest in the Jackson Inlet diamond property consisting of 314 mineral claims located on the Brodeur Peninsula of Baffin Island (Brodeur); 100% interest in the Atlanta gold property



9.



---

("Atlanta") located in the State of Idaho, consisting of 35 patented and 115 unpatented mining claims; and the Abitibi Gold Property (Abitibi) located in eastern Québec, consisting of a right to earn a 60% interest in 62 mining claims and 100% interest in an additional 63 mining claims.  The Corporation has granted options on its interests in Abitibi, which if fully exercised by the optionholder, will result in the Corporation holding a 9% interest on 62 claims and a 49% interest on 63 claims.  The Corporation also holds an 85% interest in the Layuh gold property, an 86,880-hectares property, located in Kalimantan, Indonesia.

In addition to the interests currently held by the Corporation in mineral resource properties, management of the Corporation reviews opportunities to acquire interests in further mineral resource properties as such opportunities become available to the Corporation. The Corporation performs regular reviews of the carrying values of its mineral resource properties and, to the extent that impairment conditions exist, the carrying values will be written down to their fair value.

Properties

Torngat Property, Québec

The Corporation holds one mining exploration permit issued by the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources (QMNR) in 1999, which was renewed in 2005 and 34 mining claims adjacent to its mining permit staked in 2005, for an area covering a total of 64.9 square kilometres. The permit is valid for up to ten years from its original date of issue, and then must be individually staked by claim. Each claim can be renewed every two years as long as sufficient field work has been submitted and assessed by OMNR. Annual expenditures are required to maintain the permit and claims in good standing. The Corporations efforts to date on the property have mostly focused on a series of five (5) diamondiferous kimberlite dyke systems that stretch over a combined length of 37 kilometres of Torngat.

Location and Access

Torngat is located in northeast Québec on the eastern shore of Ungava Bay.  The nearest habitation is the town of Kangiqsualujjuaq (formerly George River) about 90 kilometres south-southwest of the Torngat Property and the town of Kuujjuaq (formerly Fort Chimo) about 250 kilometres southwest of Torngat.  Montréal is approximately 1,500 kilometres south-southwest of Torngat. Access to Torngat is by marine vessel from the Montréal region, and by fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter from Kuujjuaq (Fort Chimo) or Kangiqsualujjuaq (Fort George), both of which have scheduled air service.

The central part of Torngat is a plateau about 400 metres above sea level and is part of a larger geographical entity, the George Plateau.  The plateau is broken by steep-sided gorges and fjords.  The largest fjord is Alluviaq Fjord that bisects the property and trends in a southeast-northwest direction.  The first of the dikes discovered on Torngat is exposed in the steep-sided walls on the northern side of Alluviaq Fjord.

Torngat is above the tree line.  The climate is arctic with an average annual temperature between -7.5° Celsius and -5° Celsius (18.5° Fahrenheit and 23° Fahrenheit). The property area receives about 400 millimetres to 500 millimetres of precipitation annually, with about 45 per cent of the total falling as snow.  There are normally about 20 to 40 frost free days annually.

Regional and Property Geology

Torngat lies within the Torngat Orogen.  The crust in the Orogen is thickened because Rae Province rocks were thrust below the Nain Province more than a billion years ago and covers three different tectonic regimes.  To the southwest are quartzo-felspathic gneisses of the Rae Province.  Locally, there are infolds of Aphebian age shallow water sedimentary rocks of the Lake Harbour Group, which are progressively deformed to the northeast by the Abloviak Shear Zone.  The predominant rock type on Torngat is the Tasiuyak Gneiss, a northwest trending belt of garnet-quartz-plagioclase gneisses which extend southwards into Labrador.  The gneisses are considered to be altered sedimentary rocks.  The northeastern part of Torngat is underlain by granulitic gneiss of the Burwell Terrane.



10.



---

The rocks of the Torngat Orogen strike northwest-southeast within Torngat.  Cross-cutting the gneisses, there are a number of kimberlite dikes.  The first dikes discovered are located on the northern shore of Alluviaq Fjord.  These dikes strike northeast and dip subvertically.  They are exposed on the steep side of the fjord, typically in crevices where the kimberlite has been eroded preferentially and the debris from weathering flushed from the crevice by water flowing over the fjord wall.

Three dikes in this area have been sampled by the Corporation numbered, from east to west, Torngat 1 to 3.  The dikes are approximately 2.5 metres, 1 metre and 0.6 metres in thickness, respectively.  Torngat 1, the largest dike, has been traced through discontinuous exposure about 1.5 kilometres across the plateau to an unnamed lake. A number of other dikes have been identified by the Corporation and three narrow dikes have been observed so far at sea level on the south side of Alluviaq Fjord. The Corporation completed a lineament study of the property using air photographs.  This study demonstrated that there are a number of linear features striking northeast across the property on the northern side of Alluviaq Fjord.  South of the fjord, the trend of the linear feature swings to north-south.  Near the Baufremont River, in an area called Torngat South, other kimberlite dikes have been identified and one has been sampled.  One sample is from float overlying a dike estimated to be about 3 metres wide.  Based on outcrop patterns, other parallel dikes are recognized in this area. The individual dikes are dark green and generally coarse-grained. Torngat1 has a thin selvage of fine-grained kimberlite on both sides, which is typically about 10 to 15 centimetres thick.  Contacts between the coarse-grained and fine-grained kimberlite and between the kimberlite and the enclosing rocks are sharp.  The dikes outcrop recessively, and the fine-grained kimberlite is more resistant to weathering than the coarse-grained kimberlite.  Torngat 1 appears to bifurcate in the fjord cliff face, so that a horse of wall rock is surrounded by kimberlite.

Previous geochemical work completed by staff and students of the University of Québec in Montreal showed that the rocks contain very low silica and are ultra potassic, and that titania is high and alumina is low.  Based on these results, and the mineralogy, these rocks are classified as Type 1 kimberlites.

Mini-bulk sample analysis  Summer/Fall 2002

In 2002 samples from two anomalously diamondiferous dyke segments were processed. In January 2003, fifteen samples, ranging in weight from 24 kilograms to 100 kilograms were analyzed for diamonds by caustic fusion (100-micron cut-off size), selection and description was completed by SGS Lakefield Research Limited (Lakefield) and reviewed by AMEC E & C Services Limited (AMEC).

Analytical results of the 900-meter and 400-meter segment, respectively, are tabulated below.

12 diamonds measure greater than 0.5 millemetres in three dimensions and

28 diamonds measure greater than 0.5 millemetres in two dimensions



Largest diamonds discovered to date from the 900 metre and 400 metre dyke sections are 2.90 x 2.50 x 1.80 millemetres (0.065 ct) and 1.85 x 1.25 x 1.07 millemetres (0.0142 ct), respectively.  The diamonds are very white, mostly transparent and of high preservation, as previously described by Lakefield.

These results and work to date on the project relate to exposed dyke intervals that strike roughly at right angles to stratigraphy.  Cross faults, that are believed to occupy overburden covered valley floors, also intersect dykes at rights angles and potential exists for dyke width enhancement where dykes and cross structures exist.  Additional surveying and ultimately diamond drilling would be required to evaluate overburden covered sections of dyke material.

The Corporation believes that further work should focus primarily on identifying the geometry of the TORNGAT dyke at depth and along strike. Since the topography is primarily controlled by geology, the deeper valleys could be underlain by shear zones or faults where the dykes could have formed blows. These areas cannot be sampled on surface and further work would involve geophysical surveying followed up by drilling to evaluate those anomalies thought to be representative of dyke material.

Since 2003, the Corporation has elected to focus its primary attention on its Atlanta and Brodeur properties and as a result, no significant expenditures have been made on TORNGAT since that time.  Sufficient work

has been completed to secure the mining rights: on its exploration permit staked, totaling 50 square kilometers; and its 34 mining claims, totaling 14.9 square kilometres, until July 2009. In 2005, two other exploration permits, covering 277 square kilometres, were not renewed and costs of $700,000 relating to these permits, comprised of $141,270 in acquisition and holding costs, and $558,730 in related field work, were written off during the year.  By retaining only those holdings in TORNGAT which in managements view to date have shown a greater potential for diamonds, management believes that this will assist it in attracting potential partners to assist in advancing TORNGAT.

Brodeur Property, Baffin Island

The Corporation acquired its interest in its Brodeur Property pursuant to an agreement with Helix Resources Inc. (Helix), dated April 27, 2000, as amended by agreement dated May 5, 2005 (as amended, the Agreement) pursuant to which the Corporation acquired three mining claims totaling 28.85 square kilometres (7,128.5 acres) staked on the Jackson Inlet Property on the Brodeur Peninsula of Baffin Island (Brodeur). To maintain the Agreement in good standing, the Corporation is required to pay Helix $150,000 annually. One half of these payments and all of certain prior payments made to Helix prior to 2005 are deemed advances against future royalty payments. The 2006 payment was made on January 3, 2006. In addition, under the terms of this Agreement, $500,000 is due to Helix upon receipt of all development permits and $1,000,000 plus 500,000 common shares of the Corporation are due upon production of 500,000 carats. Subsequently, a 5% net profits interest and a 1% gross royalty are due after crediting previous payments. In 2003, the Corporation staked 426 additional mineral claims in the region covering 4,118 square kilometres (1,017,593 acres) and paid an initial filing fee of $101,759. Five of the claims staked in prior years were allowed to lapse. Total cost of $31,219, including direct exploration costs of $29,806, for the five abandoned claims were written off in 2003. By the end of 2003, the Corporation had a 100% interest in 532 mineral claims totaling 5,075 square kilometres (1,254,029 acres) within the region. In 2005, the Corporation elected to reduce its holdings in Brodeur.  It filed assessment reports with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada in connection with field work carried out from 2002 to 2005. 218 claims covering 2,093 square kilometres (517,029 acres) were abandoned and costs of $800,000 relating to these claims, comprised of $135,995 in acquisition and holding costs, and $664,005 in related field work, were written off. At December 31, 2005, the Corporation retained an interest in 314 claims covering 737,000 acres and paid filing fees of $29,694 in respect of the assessment reports filed.

Location and Access

The Jackson Inlet cluster of kimberlite pipes is located 12 kilometres east of Tidewater on the Brodeur Peninsula, on the west coast of Baffin Island. It is centered 3.3 kilometres south of Jackson River at 73°14' 48" latitude north and 88°16' 12" longitude west. Approximately 100 kilometres to the east is the community of Arctic Bay (Ikpiarjuk), which is linked by a 21 kilometre all-weather highway to the more easterly Nanisivik zinc mine and townsite.

Arctic Bay and Nanisivik have First Air Boeing 727 jet service twice weekly. Marine shipping companies make the first scheduled delivery in mid-July and the last in mid-September. Navigable waters of Admiralty Inlet, Lancaster Sound and Prince Regent Inlet bound the Brodeur Peninsula.

Geology

Flat-lying ordovician and silurian carbonates are exposed along the steep coastline of the Brodeur Peninsula and in the deeply incised river gorges. From the air, evidence of the Jackson Inlet cluster of kimberlite pipes is manifested as three dark brown circular patches along a northeast-southwest axis and surrounded by a 500 metres by 600 metres halo of tan colouration. Within the halo are patches of darker tan colour.

The unweathered kimberlite, sampled from three pipes, has a dark brownish green, fine-grained ground mass which comprises 20% to 30% of the rock. The remaining 70% to 80% is primarily light green olivine of random dimensions up to 2 centimetres. Fragments of limestone, shale and gneiss are also present.  Although hand specimens are only slightly magnetic, many contain 5% to 10% very magnetic fragments. These



13.

fragments resemble a siliceous iron-manganese shale or iron formation and are prominent in the weathered material in permafrost and "soil" above the pipes.

Thin sections of various kimberlite samples were examined by microscope at Lakefield. The mineral assemblage consists of abundant olivine macrocrysts as well as scarce phlogopite and garnet macrocrysts set in a fine grained serpentine matrix. The presence of pyroclastic texture suggests crater facies material and a relatively shallow level of erosion.

2002 Core Drilling Program

During 2002, the Corporation pursued a multi-phase exploration program on Brodeur with the goal of evaluating potential kimberlite targets by drill testing. Work started with Phase-1 comprising ground magnetometer surveys, soil sampling, gravity and core drilling on known pipes and previously identified airborne magnetometer anomalies. Soil samples and drill core samples were processed by Lakefield in 2003.

The indicator mineral distribution from 489 soil samples collected in 2002 together with recovery of the micro-diamond from till immediately above bedrock in drill hole JI-CG2-02 led to a change in the 2003 exploration program objectives. Instead of drilling to establish geometry of the Freightrain pipe and the drill testing of other targets, it was decided that giving immediate attention to the overall upside potential of the project would enable the Corporation to acquire the most favorable land position on the Brodeur Peninsula.

Reinterpretation of government air-borne magnetic data in light of the distribution of known kimberlites and indicator minerals made possible the selection of priority areas for claim staking. Two high sensitivity ground magnetic surveys were carried out by JVX Ltd. to further clarify structural control of kimberlite emplacement and to clearly define drill targets not readily apparent from low resolution and suspect data obtained by 2002 ground magnetic surveys. The soil sampling area was considerably enlarged from the initially contemplated survey of selected claims and target areas. Soil sampling was supplemented by collection of stream sediments at an approximate density of one sample per 42 square kilometres in order to cover as much of the newly staked claims as possible on a reconnaissance basis.

Results of 2002 and Exploration reported in 2003

Analytical testing was finalized in 2003 on bedrock and overburden recovered from ten holes (1,173 metres) drilled (NQ core, 47-millemetre diameter)at four targets during the July-September period of 2002. The Cargo2 and ANO 10 magnetic anomalies detected by the 2001 Fugro-SIAL helicopter-borne survey were each tested by three holes and another hole tested ANO 9.

The three holes at ANO 10 and one at the nearby ANO 9 (2.5 kilometres) did not encounter kimberlite nor explain both airborne and ground magnetic anomalies. Drilling at Cargo2 recovered a micro-diamond from till immediately above bedrock in drill hole JI-CG2-02. The objective of two of the three holes drilled at Cargo1 pipe (JI-CG1-03 & -04) was to obtain representative samples from the fine grained ashy core facies and the coarse rim facies.

Laboratory investigations of the third hole (JI-CG1-05) revealed low magnetic susceptibility of the core which explains the weak magnetic anomalies over this and a number of other suspected kimberlites. The two other holes intersected as much as 200 metres apart and the dimensions of the pipe could be much larger than what the magnetic contours indicate.

Results were also received in 2003 from processing and indicator mineral grain selection by Lakefield on 489 soil samples which had been collected in 2002. The 2002 regional till sampling program covered the main claim block at that time. The sampling involved collection of approximately 25 kilograms of till at 400-metre intervals on lines two kilometres apart in the Freightrain-Cargo1 pipe and Cargo2 areas and four kilometres apart elsewhere.  Pyrope and eclogitic garnet, Mg-ilmenite and spinel were found in anomalous concentrations in a number of clusters, most notably at Cargo2 and immediately surrounding the Freightrain and Cargo1 pipes.

2003 Claim-Staking Programs

Encouraged by the results from the indicated mineral surveys, the Corporation undertook two claim-staking campaigns during the year with the strategic objective ultimately being to discover a number of diamondiferous pipes within truck haulage distance from a central plant. The first program added 1,145 square kilometres following receipt of indicator mineral counts from the 2002 till sampling program and evidence of diamonds at Cargo2.

Following the discovery of the 1.7-kilometre kimberlite fragment trail and detailed ground magnetic survey confirmation of previously inferred geological controls of kimberlite emplacement, the Corporation staked a further contiguous 2,283 square kilometres to the east and south. After allowing for the expiry of 5 claims where results did not warrant further exploration, the net 100%-owned land position at the end of 2003 was 5,075 square kilometres (1,254,029 acres).

2003 Exploration Program and Results

During the 2003 field season a further 426 samples were collected to define airborne survey targets in a large portion of the newly staked claims and for purposes of determining whether discrete and separate drill targets were present in the immediate vicinity of Freightrain and Cargo1 pipes.  Based on the recovery of kimberlite indicator mineral grains from the 355 soil and 71 stream sediment samples, 12 new kimberlite indicator mineral clusters were discovered. Of the 426 samples collected, 110 contained kimberlite indicator minerals.

Seven of the twelve clusters are located in the eastern half of the new claim block from 72 degrees 15' to 73 degrees 15' latitude. Several of the seven clusters correlate well with airborne magnetic anomalies and intersecting structures, which enhances the probability of their relationship to kimberlite targets. Five clusters are within 3 to 6 kilometres of the Freightrain and Cargo1 pipes. The high numbers of kimberlite indicator minerals from the five areas provide strong evidence of kimberlite bodies under shallow overburden cover. These new indicator mineral clusters are in addition to the previously reported finds of the diamondiferous kimberlite fragment corridor between Freightrain and Cargo1 pipes and the eight potential kimberlite targets at Cargo2.

In 2003, most soil and stream sediment samples were collected at approximately 500 metre intervals along 4- kilometre spaced north-south lines. The stream sediment samples collected were spaced at 5 to 8 kilometres apart.  The samples cover 3,490 square kilometres of the Brodeur property.  Soil samples were collected from frost boils which are ubiquitous on the sparsely vegetated Brodeur Peninsula.  The samples represent glacial till which the boiling action has brought from considerable depth.  This has been evidenced by a coincidence of indicator minerals with known kimberlite on occasion beneath many meters of overburden.

A heavy mineral concentrate was produced by Lakefield followed by diamond indicator mineral picking by HDM Laboratories Inc. (HDM). HDM is located in Loveland, CO, U.S.A., and has specialized in kimberlite indicator mineral recovery and evaluation for more than 10 years.

In July 2003, the Corporations field personnel made a significant discovery of kimberlite fragments by careful classic prospecting along a NE-SW corridor that connects Freightrain with Cargo1 pipes. The fragments, which are interpreted to originate from kimberlite bodies beneath and brought to surface by frost boil action, are distributed across up to 50 metres width within this corridor. They were surveyed and sampled over a distance of 1.7 kilometres; 1 kilometre SW from Cargo1 pipe towards Freightrain and 0.7 kilometres to the NE beyond Cargo1 pipe. They show no evidence of transport.

Three kimberlite fragment samples totaling 50.5 kilograms collected from separate portions along the 1.7 kilometre distance were analyzed by Lakefield. Diamond indicator minerals were extracted from two of the three samples and one was analyzed for diamond content only. Thirteen micro diamonds were extracted from the three samples.

Regarding diamond indicator minerals, the Lakefield report states that "highly depleted sub-calcic Cr-pyrope garnet (G10) and rare high-pressure eclogitic garnet, which are associated with diamonds and occur as inclusions in diamonds, are present, as is mantle ilmenite. Mantle ilmenite compositions indicate that diamond will be highly preserved, if present."

"Pressures and temperatures calculated using single clinopyroxene geothermometry for clinopyroxene grains that are interpreted to have equilibrated with garnet in garnet lherzolite, indicate that all of these clinopyroxenes and host kimberlites erupted from within the diamond stability field. Calculated pressures and temperatures form a linear array coincident with a relatively cool 35 to 40 mW/m(2) conductive geotherm similar to that of geothermal arrays for kimberlites from the Slave province in Canada."

High sensitivity ground magnetic (gradiometer) surveys were performed by JVX Ltd. (JVX) in July and August 2003 over a 2 by 3 kilometre area encompassing Fugro-SIALs Cargo2 aeromagnetic anomaly as well as over a 2 by 6 kilometre corridor encompassing Freightrain and Cargo1 pipes (Gap Grid). Objectives of the latter survey were to identify new or satellite pipes and to determine whether the kimberlite fragment trail reflects bodies that are as magnetic as the initially discovered portion of Cargo1 pipe or whether the source is probably more like the weakly magnetic northeast portion of the pipe probed by drill hole JI-CG1-05.

At Cargo2, the objectives were to define the anomalies, which were not established by the 2002 survey, and to develop drill targets for 2004. These objectives were exceeded in that the small area (6 square kilometres) yielding 8 anomalies, about which the JVX report concluded that if kimberlite is recognized at Anomaly A-I this entire trend becomes prospective.  The JVX report describes A-I, that is Cargo2, from which the grid takes its name, as a moderate anomaly with an amplitude of about 23 nano taslas (nT) (strength of magnetic response of the surveyed targets) spread over a roughly circular area about 300 metres across.  They describe Anomaly A-IV as probably the most intriguing anomaly on the grid. The intensity of this anomaly is comparable to Cargo2 but it appears to be the strongest of a series of 5 magnetic highs that trend NW-SE.

Within the Gap Grid, the JVX survey clearly defined 5 lobes or components of the Freightrain kimberlite the two most prominent of which are: 1) approximately 22 nT and roughly 125 by 100 metres, flanked on the North, West, and East by magnetic lows, and 2) approximately 20 nT that is roughly 100 by 150 metres with secondary lobes to the northeast.

JVX recommends prospecting about 0.75 kilometres northeast of the Freightrain anomaly in the vicinity of Anomaly 2, a new anomaly of which the source probably extends to depth as there is no accompanying magnetic low.

The JVX report describes Cargo1 pipe as a strong (approximately 15 nT), roughly circular magnetic high.  It is about 160 metres across and it is truncated on the northeast side by a magnetic depression.  The kimberlite bodies discovered over 1.7 kilometres on the Freightrain  Cargo1 pipes corridor are visible on surface as a diamondiferous kimberlite fragment corridor. Due to their low magnetic susceptibility their magnetic footprint is very faint.

2004 Exploration Program and Results

The Corporation advanced Brodeur after entering into two agreements during the year.  Pursuant to a letter agreement entered into in April 2004 with Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc. (Kennecott) in connection with 270,644 acres of the north claim block (the Jackson East & West) of  Jackson Inlet, Kennecott incurred expenditures in excess of $615,000 in completing a 15,700-line kilometre MIDAS IITM aeromagnetic survey over 200,000 acres of Jackson East & West using 50-metre spacing for one block of claims (Block 1) and 75-metre spacing for a second block of claims (Block 2). The final results of the survey, which were received during the first quarter of 2005, revealed as many as 78 new potential kimberlite drill targets. The agreement with Kennecott was terminated in July 2004 as a result of discussions of the Corporations obligations towards a third party having an interest in Brodeur not producing the necessary results within the anticipated time frame. The Corporation remains committed to honoring the third party agreement and to continue advanced exploration at Jackson Inlet.

In August 2004, the Corporation entered into an agreement with Stornoway Diamond Corporation (Stornoway) in respect of the south claim block running along the Vista River (Vista) covering over 980,000 acres of Brodeur.  Under the terms of this agreement, Stornoway has the option to earn a 51% interest in these claims by, among other things, incurring a minimum of $3 million in exploration expenditures on Vista over a three-year period. Prior to Stornoway having to elect to take up the option and commence expenditures, the Corporation is required to complete a minimum $900,000 exploration program mutually acceptable to both parties and to deliver to Stornoway a report thereon. The Corporation completed a 1,200-sample soil/till sampling program in the third quarter of 2004.  The samples were processed for kimberlite indicator minerals at Vancouver Indicator Processors Inc. in Burnaby, B.C., Canada.  Heavy mineral concentrates at this lab was sent to HDM Laboratories Inc, in Denver, and KIM Dynamics, in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, for sorting, selecting and counting kimberlite indicator minerals. Results from the counting, expected to be completed within the second quarter of 2005, will be used to complete the exploration program.

In July 2004, the Corporation discovered kimberlite fragments on frost boil surfaces at the A-2 magnetic anomaly, located 450 metres northeast of the Freightrain diamondiferous kimberlite. The A-2 anomaly was detected during a ground magnetometer survey carried out in 2003 by JVX.

A sample of frost boil till of approximately 25 kilograms from this site contained 83 pyropes, 2 clinopyroxene and 5 chromite grains as determined by a Lakefield microscopic examination.

On the basis of proven existence of kimberlites, extensive soil sampling on a 2 by 0.5 kilometre grid and promising chemistry of indicator mineral anomalies, the Jackson Inlet East claim block (Block 1) and West claim block (Block 2) were chosen for a high resolution aeromagnetic survey. A flight line spacing of 50 metres in Block 1 and 75 metres in Block 2 was chosen, that is, sufficiently close to spot drill holes without the need to conduct follow-up ground magnetic surveys.

Fugro Airborne Surveys carried out the 8,955.2 line kilometre airborne geophysical program during July 2004 utilizing a helicopter mounted multi-sensor MIDAS IITM horizontal gradiometer over both blocks.

Due to the thick flat lying platform sediments over the Archean basement, craton background variations of the magnetic field are mainly due to large-scale deep-seated features. This setting improves the likelihood of identifying smaller, and possibly lower amplitude, anomalies. Magnetic surveys on surrounding properties have shown that the known kimberlites in the area display a monopolar magnetic high signature. Individual anomalies recognized in processed airborne data consist of discrete magnetic features representing either highs or lows relative to background data. Typically, these features are less than one kilometre in diameter.

Careful inspection of the data resulted in the selection of 54 anomalies on the Jackson Inlet East claims (Block 1), 20 on the Jackson Inlet West claims (Block 2) and 4 on the Vista project claims just outside of the Block 1 boundary. The magnetic gradient data assisted in prioritization of subtle anomalies.

On the Jackson Inlet West block, one anomaly is expressed on 4 profiles of the flight lines spaced at 75 m. Two anomalies are expressed on 3 lines, five on 2 lines and 12 on 1 line. The strongest anomalies are 9, 6, 5 and 4 nT .

On Jackson Inlet East and in the case of the four anomalies just outside its boundary (located on the Vista Claim Blocks) one anomaly is expressed on 5 flight lines, each spaced 50 metres apart, one on 4 lines, ten on 3 lines, eighteen on 2 lines and twenty eight on 1 line. The strongest anomalies are adjacent 12.5 nT and 11 nT peaks with dimensions of 200 by 100 metres and 250 by 90 metres, respectively. These and at least 5 other prominent anomalies comprise a cluster of 1.2 kilometre radius centered 7.5 kilometres east of Cargo2. The 12.5 and 11 nT anomalies display approximately twice the magnetic intensity of Cargo2. Fourteen of the 24 soil samples within a 2.5 kilometres radius yielded peridotitic and eclogitic garnets, mantle ilmenites and/or chromites.

Of the 45 East claim block survey anomalies of at least 2 nT, three are in the 10-12-5 nT range, ten are in the 5-9- nT range and 32 are in the 2-4 nT range. These anomalies lie along two broad bands trending northeast-

southwest as do the corridors of anomalies on the West claim block. In the case of both blocks, there is a strong coincidence of kimberlite indicator mineral anomalies with these corridors of magnetic anomalies as well as with many individual magnetic anomalies.

The MIDAS IITM survey detected JVX’s magnetic anomaly A-VII (2003 exploration) and the previously identified Cargo2 (JVX’s A-1) which is strongly inferred to reflect a diamondiferous kimberlite because of the presence of indicator minerals as well as a diamond recovered in 2002 during core drilling in deep overburden.

The 980,000 acre Vista project has been confirmed by indicator mineral analyses to have diamond potential and is at the airborne survey stage with the exception of the earlier mentioned MIDAS IITM survey executed on the Jackson Inlet East block that revealed just outside its boundary four anomalies located on Vista.

During the 2004 field season, a total of 1,200 soil samples were collected by the Corporation’s field personnel, most at 500 metre intervals along north-south lines spaced 2 kilometres apart. Areas covered included the previously untested northeast portion of the Vista project, the anomalous blocks identified by the 2003 stream sediment sampling and several magnetic anomalies selected by a study of the Geological Survey of Canada regional aeromagnetic data.

2005 Exploration Program and Results

The main objectives of the 2005 exploration program were assessing the kimberlite potential of Brodeur and testing for diamondiferous kimberlites using a portable reverse circulation (RC) drill. Based on heavy mineral anomalies 11 high priority claim groups were selected for the aeromagnetic survey on Vista. Both, chrome diopside and magnesium ilmenites, which are known diamond indicator minerals are present on eight of the Vista heavy mineral clusters. The area covered by this survey was 2,000 square kilometres of carefully selected potential kimberlite targets on the 4,000 square kilometres Vista claim block. The anomaly definition capability of this system allows positioning and drilling of exploration holes directly from the survey results.

Aeromagnetic Survey Results:

The Corporation succeeded with its objectives. Fugros geophysicists selected from the 15,241 kilometres of flight line data approximately 1,400 discrete anomalies in the 2 to 30 nT range. The targets are interpreted to be magnetic sources near surface. Those targets deemed to be most significant by Fugro compare favourably with the 37.25 nT recorded over the Cargo1 kimberlite, for which an approximate diameter of 90 metres is interpreted by Fugro. It should be noted that core holes drilled across the narrow dimension and parallel to the long axis of Cargo1 respectively intersected 83.1 metres and 147.9 metres of solid kimberlite. The most easterly of five holes drilled into Cargo1 confirmed a long dimension of at least 185 metres.

The 39 most significant anomalies picked by Fugro from more than 1,400 on the basis of geophysical response and which are priority kimberlite targets are listed in Table 1. The target diameters range from 60 metres to 225 metres and average 115 metres, while the maximum amplitude varies from 2.79 nT to 29.66 nT with an average of 12.17 nT.

Testing for diamondiferous kimberlites:

The 2005 drilling program was designed to investigate the presence and quality of kimberlites in addition to the known Freightrain pipe, the Cargo1 pipe, the 1.7 kilometre kimberlite corridor and the 3 pipes discovered

by Rio Tinto on their property near Brodeur. The focus was on Jackson Inlet East and West drill targets and to establish the diamond potential of the 78 new targets produced by the 2004 airborne survey.

The Corporation is encouraged by the results of this drilling program which is believed to be a good indicator of more diamondiferous kimberlite pipes present.  A series of holes investigated the 1.7 kilometre corridor of kimberlite fragments up to 50 metres wide. One angled hole (-60°) drilled under a line of kimberlite fragments intersected, 330 metres northeast of the Cargo1 pipe, 1.83 metres of kimberlite after passing through 2.13 metres of till and 15.24 metres of limestone. This confirmed the existence of a significant dyke extending beyond Cargo1 to the northeast and southwest towards the Freightrain pipe. The sample is being tested for indicator minerals and diamonds. Earlier grab samples, weighing approximately 50 kilograms, of kimberlite fragments on the corridor yielded 13 diamonds. RC holes, testing 11 targets which had favorable aeromagnetic responses and in part classical magnetic kimberlite pipe signatures, yielded diamond indicator minerals in their cuttings which indicate nearby kimberlite. Further analysis will permit the Corporation to focus on the kimberlite bodies that are indicated by the minerals found in the drill cuttings. It is also inferred that a number of holes may have stopped prematurely in boulders of limestone or sandstone rather than in true bedrock.

2006 Exploration Program - Proposed

More than half of the 39 till samples from RC holes and from frost boil surfaces at 25 magnetic anomalies yet to be tested by drilling have yielded kimberlite indicator minerals. A large percentage of the olivine and ilmenite indicator minerals match the chemical composition of these minerals found as inclusions in diamonds from commercial deposits elsewhere in the world. Because it is known from studies around the Freightrain and Cargo1 kimberlites that olivine is absent beyond a kilometre from the kimberlite source, there remains a reasonable probability that discoveries would have resulted from siting drill holes on the basis of an improved understanding of glacial and erosional history. Till samples from several sites contained a highly anomalous six or seven grains of olivine.

At least five sets of northeast trending magnetic anomalies have been identified by Fugro Airborne Surveys in the seven blocks surveyed in 2005. It is encouraging that such northeast sets of anomalies are present in the blocks selected for aeromagnetic surveying on the basis of clusters of till samples with kimberlite indicator minerals identified in 2004 and for which the chemistry was graphically illustrated in 2004s annual report. Particularly encouraging is the fact that these sets of magnetic anomalies are parallel to the trends of both the Corporations Freightrain-Cargo1 and Kennecotts Tuwawi-Nanuk-Kuuraq kimberlites.

Atlanta Gold Property, Idaho

The Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary Atlanta U.S., owns and leases a total of 33 patented lode claims, 3 patented mill site claims, 115 unpatented contiguous mining claims, and 1 unpatented mill site claim known as Atlanta Gold covering 1,891 acres near the town of Atlanta in Elmore County, Idaho, approximately 60 miles east-northeast of Boise, Idaho (Atlanta). Of the mining claims comprising Atlanta, three of the patented claims and 70 of the unpatented claims are beneficially owned by Atlanta U.S. and 32 of the patented claims and 43 of the unpatented claims are leased by Atlanta U.S. with terms extending to various dates up to 2015.  Since the acquisition by Atlanta U.S. of an interest in Atlanta in 1985, the Corporation has endeavoured to establish and expand estimated proven and probable reserves at Atlanta and to evaluate the feasibility of constructing and operating a mine at Atlanta.

On July 22, 1997, Atlanta U.S. and Canadian American Mining Company, LLC (CAMC) (formerly Quest International Resources Corporation) (Quest), entered into a joint venture agreement (the Quest Agreement) whereby Atlanta U.S. was appointed the operator of, and held an 80 per cent interest in Atlanta, with Quest holding the remaining 20% participating interest. On December 17, 1997, Quest advised Atlanta U.S. that it had elected under the Agreement not to participate in its contractual share of further property costs incurred after 1997. On December 13, 2002, CAMC agreed to transfer its 20 per cent participating interest in the joint venture to Atlanta U.S. CAMC retains the 2% net smelter return royalty on Atlanta, as per the Quest Agreement.

On February 2, 1999, Atlanta U.S. signed a Lease/Option to Purchase Agreement (the Monarch Agreement) with Monarch Greenback, LLC (Monarch) relating to Monarchs surface and mineral rights to Atlanta. During the term of the ten-year lease, Atlanta U.S. has the option to purchase such surface and mineral rights for US$2 million. If this option is exercised, the existing minimum annual rental payments on such surface and mineral rights will be terminated and replaced by a net smelter return royalty of 0.5% of gold sales if the average realized gold price is US$365 per ounce or less, provided that the cumulative minimum annual rental payments made by Atlanta U.S. pursuant to the Monarch Agreement are credited against the obligation of Atlanta U.S. to make net smelter return royalty payments to Monarch. For each US$1 increase in the average realized gold price over US$365 per ounce, the net smelter return royalty will be increased by 0.01% to a maximum rate of 3.5%. The Company amended the minimum annual rental payment to Monarch in 1999, and again, in 2001, such that, commencing in 2001, the Corporation agreed to pay Monarch US$50,000 per year in minimum annual rental payments until 2008 and the option price to purchase such surface and mineral rights will be US$2,875,000.

A net smelter return royalty is payable on production from Atlanta, subject to annual payments to the lessors as set forth below. These payments are required to keep the agreements in good standing. The advance royalty payments will be terminated if the option to purchase is exercised. During the year, the Corporation paid US$67,500 (2004 and 2003  US$67,500) in minimum annual rental and advance royalty payments to the lessors.

2002 Heap Leach Program

In 2002, Atlanta was reactivated once it became evident that the price of gold had risen above US$300 on a sustained basis. Following the project outline in the 1998 scoping study, a conventional open-pit cyanide heap leach operation is planned.  Behre Dolbear & Company (USA) Inc. of Denver, Colorado (Behre Dolbear) was retained to complete a feasibility study. Montgomery Watson Harza, an environmental consulting firm experienced in mine permitting, was retained in May 2002 to conduct a review of the existing environmental baseline data and recommend a program to update our information for a new Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) had been prepared for Atlanta by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Boise, National Forest in l989. A significant advantage for Atlanta is the extensive amount of baseline data which currently exists on the project and can be used to update the existing DEIS. This should help to reduce the lengthy permitting process significantly. To confirm extensive previous in-house and third party test work and simulate conventional heap leach conditions in February 2003 a comprehensive metallurgical test program was carried out.

The metallurgical drilling program was designed by Atlanta U.S. staff and reviewed by Behre Dolbear. Drilling commenced on October 23, 2002.  A total of 1,284 metres (4,211 feet) was drilled on 13 core holes using HQ size core (63.5 millemetres, or approximately 2.5 inches, in diameter).  Nine holes were drilled into the Monarch ore body and four holes were drilled into the Idaho ore body. One of the four holes was a geotechnical hole, which was drilled into the south wall of the Idaho ore body. Split core samples were collected in 3-metre increments and were assayed for gold using a 500-gram cyanide bottle roll test as a first step in determining gold recovery characteristics.

All of the holes were drilled as angle holes ranging from -45 to -60 degrees which cut across the width of the shear zone (which is 18 to 55 metres wide) to obtain representative samples of gold mineralization.  Mineralized drill core was sawed lengthwise with one half of the core saved for metallurgical testing, one quarter for assaying, and one quarter was saved for reference.

Atlanta ores have undergone extensive metallurgical testing over the years, including over 50 column leach tests.  However, most of these tests were done in-house, used primarily coarse crush sizes of 38.1 to 50.8 millemetres (approximately 11⁄2 to 2 inches) and were leached for relatively short periods of time (approximately 60 days).  A close examination of the historic metallurgical data and a limited amount of column test data from l998 indicated that finer crushing and a longer leach time would significantly improve the gold recovery over what was achieved in previous work, especially for the moderate and low recovery ores.  In parallel with the metallurgical testing program and commencement of preparation of the feasibility study, preparation of an EIS was commenced in compliance with the United States National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Much of the baseline environmental data needed for an EIS was available in the 1989 DEIS. Several other key components of the process were also commenced: the preparation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. Forest Service and Atlanta U.S., an updated Plan of Operations, and a new Reclamation Plan.  The MOU serves to outline each partys responsibilities and sets out the procedures and timetable for the EIS process. The Plan of Operations is a preliminary description of the mining operation that is proposed by Atlanta U.S. and is used as the basis for public scoping and the development of the data required for the EIS.  Based on the Plan of Operations, a Reclamation Plan is prepared

to outline the proposed methods and timing to reclaim the mining and processing areas after the project has ceased production.

Atlanta U.S. has maintained close ties with both state and federal regulatory authorities during the past several years and has been proactive in soliciting support.  Meetings have been held with the Idaho Governors office, Idaho Department of Lands, the U.S. Senators from Idaho, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Corporation believes that a partnership approach to the permitting process, where everyone participates, will allow it to proceed quickly and efficiently to final approval of the EIS.

Plan of Operations - 2003

In April 2003, a proposed Plan of Operations was submitted to the USDA Forest Service (USFS), Idaho City Ranger District, which outlined the mining plan for Atlanta.  As the lead Federal agency for the environmental permitting process, the USFS issued a Notice of Intent on July 10, 2003 requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project.  A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining the procedures and responsibilities of the USFS and Atlanta Gold for the preparation of the EIS was executed on July 10, 2003. On February 1, 2005, Atlanta Gold issued the final Plan of Operation to the USFS and the USFS has given approval to proceed with the next phase of the EIS, namely the permitting process.

2003 Heap Leach Program

In February 2003 a comprehensive metallurgical test program of four new composites was carried out. Fourteen separate column leach tests were conducted on the individual composites. The composites represented the Monarch Pit high, moderate and low extraction ores and the Idaho Pit ore.

The EIS Process

In October 2003, Tetra Tech Maxim Technologies (Maxim) was chosen as the third-party environmental contractor to prepare the EIS. Maxim has extensive experience in the preparation of mine related environmental studies and recently completed the EIS for the Astaris Dry Valley Mine (Phosphate) located in southeast Idaho.

Environmental data collection began in mid-October 2003 with field crews active on the mine site working through the fall and winter.  Surface water, ground water, cultural resources, soils, fisheries, wildlife, and air quality, are all being studied to evaluate the potential impacts of the project. New information is being collected to up-date and supplement the extensive, existing baseline data that is available from a Draft EIS that was prepared in the late l980s on the project. Once the Final EIS has been completed, a Record of Decision (ROD) is issued by the USFS, which is the final step in the federal permitting process.  State and local permits are being developed in parallel with the EIS process.

Completion of the Feasibility Study  2004

In the fourth quarter of 2004, Behre Dolbear delivered a positive full Feasibility Study on Atlanta. This study concluded that, at then prevailing (+ US$425 per ounce) or lower gold prices, an economically mineable gold deposit was identified and confirmed at Atlanta. At a gold price of US$375, Atlanta has an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 24.62 percent and a Net Present Value (NPV) of $15.9 million at a discount rate of 10 percent. Life-of Mine capital expenditures total US$37.977 million. The operation, which is anticipated to have a life of six or more years will employ conventional open pit mining of two ore bodies, the Monarch and Idaho, followed by three-stage crushing, heap leaching and processing through an adsorption-desorption-refining (ADR) carbon plant.

Total cash cost per equivalent ounce of gold is US$187.90 per ounce (see Table 1) and the total production cost, including depreciation, depletion and the mine fleet leasing cost is US$288.00 per ounce.

The mineable proven and probable reserves for Atlanta are calculated at a gold price of US$350 per ounce and a silver price of US$6.00 per ounce. The mineable reserves total 13.669 million tons of ore grading 0.0601 ounces of gold per ton, which, with a weighted recovery of 64.0 percent, yields 525,000 ounces of recoverable (salable) gold.

Possible Future Additions to the Ore Reserves

The Feasibility Study advises that there are significant possible additions to the mineral reserves/resources, which are likely to extend the mine life:

·

Outside the boundaries of the Monarch and Idaho pits, the orebody is incompletely drilled, particularly below both the Monarch and Idaho pit bottoms and in the area between the two pits. Additional ore may be found in these areas;

·

There are two higher-grade partially drilled inferred resources within one mile or less of the Monarch Pit. These are the Tahoma Zone and the East Extension Zone, which together contain nearly 200,000 in-place ounces, but require confirmatory drilling;

·

There is a partially drilled, inferred underground resource containing some 240,000 ounces, which by itself has upside potential from additional drilling.

Behre Dolbear believes that the ultimate mineable ore reserves could increase substantially.

Mining

The reserves are contained in two open pits, the Monarch and Idaho. The Monarch, larger and higher grade but with a higher stripping ratio, will be mined first, and some of the waste from the Idaho pit will be backfilled into the mined out Monarch pit (Table 6).

Atlanta will do its own mining with a fleet of reconditioned, conventional, Caterpillar-manufactured mining equipment. The equipment will be leased from and maintained by an independent contractor who has provided firm bids for equipment lease rates as well as for maintenance of the fleet. Ore will be hauled to a stockpile ahead of the primary crusher for eight months of the year (May through December); waste will be mined all year. The crusher will be fed by a front-end loader.

The major items of mining equipment are rotary blast hole drills, drilling 6-7/8 inch diameter holes into 25-foot high benches, 14 cubic yard front end loaders and 100-ton haulage trucks. Life-of-mine unit mining costs, reflecting the short hauls and the high annual volumes of waste, are approximately $0.90 per ton for both ore and waste, including the contractors leasing and maintenance charges.

Processing

The Atlanta ore will be crushed through a three-stage crushing circuit and agglomerated with cement and cyanide solution in an agglomeration drum prior to placement on the leach pads. The crushed ore will be crushed to a nominal 80 percent passing 3/8-inch size. The cement is added for agglomerate stability as well as pH control. The agglomerated ore will be placed on the heap leach pads with a conveyor system to maintain good permeability. The initial production will be placed on the Ridge heap leach pad, which will be partially completed and enable gold production to commence at an earlier date while the remainder of the pad is under construction. Leaching operations will continue year around although mining, crushing, and ore emplacement on the pad will be conducted for eight months of the most seasonably amenable portion of the year (May through December). The extra leach time allowed by this placement and leaching schedule will give an increased extraction of gold and silver from the slower leaching components of the ore.

There are two additional advantages of this sequencing of leach pads beyond the initial advantage of earlier gold production. Detoxification and reclamation of one section of the Ridge Pad can take place while leaching of another section commences or continues thus shortening the overall time requirement for this obligation of the project. Secondly, the volume placement on the Ridge Pad allows some additional capacity should additional reserves be proven or some cost reductions should the full potential volume of this pad not be needed.

The pregnant solutions from the heap leach pads will be processed through a carbon adsorption plant to remove the gold and silver, with the barren solution recycled to the heap after adjusting cyanide strength and pH. Provisions have been made in the pregnant and barren pond content to the carbon adsorption plant. The carbon plant will operate year around in conjunction with the leaching operations.

ADR plant general arrangement

Daily, a portion of the carbon will be removed from the adsorption circuit and the gold and silver will be stripped from the carbon. The stripped carbon will be acid washed to remove any scale and adsorbed base metals prior to returning to the adsorption circuit. Periodically, the stripped carbon will be regenerated to restore its adsorption capacity prior to returning to the adsorption circuit.

The gold and silver recovered in a concentrated cyanide solution from the stripped carbon will be recovered in electrolytic cells. The cathodic sludge from the cells will be smelted to produce a gold and silver doré for shipment to a refiner.

Heap Leach Facility

The site is located in steep topography and thus to achieve the goal of early production, Atlanta plans on processing the 13.7 million ton reserve on the heap leach pad. Crushing and placement of ore on the Ridge Pad is scheduled to start in late 2007contingent on operating permits issued by the US Forest Service in a timely fashion. The Ridge Pad with a capacity of 11.5 million tons is expected to be ready for loading and leaching in

October 2007. In general, construction is season and weather dependent.  It takes approximately one month after stacking has commenced to produce the first gold bar.

Land Status

The entire claim block is irregular in plan but lies within Sections 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 of Township 5 North, Range 11 East, Boise Meridian, Elmore County, Idaho. Patented claim blocks owned mostly by the Monarch Greenback LLC and leased to Atlanta, straddle the approximately 12,000 feet of strike length of the Atlanta Main Zone. It is mainly within those claim blocks that the Monarch and Idaho Pit zones lie.

Approximately 115 acres of patented and unpatented claims within the perimeter of the claim block and remote from the main mineralized Atlanta zone are held by others. All facilities have, however, been located on mineral claims owned or leased by the Corporation.

The Corporations holdings comprise patented, unpatented, lode, and millsite claims, which are either leased or owned by the Corporation. The total area of the property is 1,891 acres, consisting of 152 contiguous and, in some cases, overlapping claims (Table 7).

Water Supply

The Corporation signed a 10-year lease, expiring June 30, 2014, for 20.55 acres of property located in Elmore County and an existing, decreed water right on the Middle Fork of the Boise River from Greene Tree Incorporated for a monthly rental of US$4,887.50. The water right consists of 0.92 cfs (412 gpm) and is a seasonal, irrigation water right that must have the use and point of diversion changed through the Idaho Department of Water Resources prior to its use for mining purposes. Additional water can be acquired through lease or purchase of existing water rights, or from an annual lease of stored water from the Water District #63 rental pool. Rental pool water is priced at US$6.50 per acre-foot for in-basin use.

In early 2005, the Corporation recognized that insufficient water rights existed to supply the operations of the proposed 10,500 tons per day heap leach facility. Opportunities to purchase additional water rights were pursued during January and February 2005.  Unfortunately, the timing was poor, as Idaho was entering its eighth year of a drought.  This raised prices for water rights beyond our funding capacity. In March 2005, the Corporation adopted a new strategy of pursuing the reactivation of the old St Joe Lead company water license.  In June 2005, claims were filed with the Idaho Water Board for the historic water rights sourced in upper Decker Creek valley. The EIS Plan of Operations was revised, pending the successful granting of these water rights.  Several environmental benefits were noted; including elimination of the pipeline and power line along the Yuba River, elimination of five stages of water pumping and 500 KW of power demand, addition of two fresh water reservoirs to ensure water during dry months, and provision of a fire water supply, to protect against forest fires.  Among EIS regulatory personnel, this plan revision was viewed as attractive.

Capital Costs

Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) Advance 2005

Atlanta was permitted in 1989 on a milling scenario. Presently, an EIS is being prepared for the US Forest Service by Tetra Tech, Inc. on a heap leach scenario. The Corporation has finalized the memo of understanding (MOU), the notice of intent (NOI), and the plan of operations (POO). Further, the Corporation has conducted the required initial agency meetings and prepared and discussed the EIS project scoping, the EIS proposed action, and the EIS alternatives.

Mine Construction:

2005 gave the Corporation the opportunity to lay the groundwork for future production. With the innovative engineering design and sequencing of Atlantas Monarch and Idaho open pits, it is believed that substantial economic benefits can be achieved. This design allows the extension of construction over several years while production performs at design capacity of 100,000 ounces of gold per year. The development strategy for the Atlanta is as follows:

·

Relocation of most buildings to private land at the Yuba/Decker (Y/D) junction. This includes the man camp, freight delivery yard, power plant, process plant, assay laboratory, warehouse, and office.



32.



---

This layout will allow an earlier, phased construction timetable for all these facilities, significantly reducing the on-site manpower requirements.

·

Design of the main power line and pipe lines on a private land corridor from the Y/D junction east, uphill to the site of the future Idaho Pit. This will allow completion of these lines in advance of heap leach start-up, with reduced on-site construction manpower.  This will also allow delivery of diesel fuel for the mine fleet and power for the crushing plant, at significantly reduced costs.

·

Adoption of the extended Ridge Pad; and elimination of the Valley Pad.  Construction of the extended Ridge Pad will occur in four phases, with only 25 percent of the pad capital needed during the pre-production period, and the final pad construction delayed until Year 4 of operations.

Deferring pond storage and leach solution processing facilities to match the pad timeline.  This will defer capital and reduce on-site construction manpower.

An important benefit of this stretched construction timeline is that the disturbance footprint will grow more slowly than with the plan envisioned in the Feasibility Study. This will reduce the amount required for reclamation bonding in the initial two years of operations.

EIS Permitting:

Permitting cost increases were significant in early 2005, caused by two factors.  First, some critical data was not assembled during baseline studies in 2003, requiring urgent and costly field work by consultants.  Second, the high priority given to achieving an early construction start date was costing significantly, as attempting to eliminate the risk of any delay required engineering and other data in excessive detail. At mid-year, the Corporation presented to USFS a numbers of project design studies and revisions aimed at advancing the EIS and improving project economics, including:

1.

Adoption of the extended Ridge Pad; elimination of the Valley Pad.

2.

Expansion of Quartz Gulch waste rock dump by 7 million tons.

3.

Defense of the necessity for Pettit waste rock dump.

4.

Defense of the open pit wall slopes, and the proximity to the leach pad.

5.

Elimination of pond at Saddle; protection of the Flint Creek trail.

6.

Deferral of phases 2,3,4 pad construction until Year 2,3,4 of operations.

7.

Significant reduction in construction crew requirements.

8.

Claims filed for water rights sourced in upper Decker Creek valley.

9.

Elimination of water use from Boise River; fewer pumps and pipelines.

10.

Addition of 2 fresh water reservoirs, to ensure water during dry months.

11.

Provision of a fire water supply, to protect against forest fires.

12.

Adoption of active water treatment facilities for arsenic removal.

13.

Assignment of Tetra Tech for development of hydrologic model of site.

14.

Increased focus upon water quality from old adits as models for waste rock geochem.

15.

Adoption of joint geotech report on waste dump stability.

16.

Proposed design of Land Application Dispersion (LAD) mainly for elimination of excess snowmelt water.

17.

Proposed widening of Yuba road at 2 turns and improving road base.

18.

Proposed strengthening of Yuba bridge; not replacing it.

19.

Relocated secure storage yard for freight trailers to patented claim at Y/D junction.

20.

Proposed blasting of 400 ft section of Decker road to widen it for freight trucks.

21.

22.

Delivery of a frozen site plan for EIS permitting by July 8th, 2005.

During the third quarter of 2005, although cash flow constraints reduced the pace of EIS activity by third-party consultants, the Corporation continued optimizing the project layout and design and made presentations to USFS resulting in the following revisions agreed to:

·

Eliminating tanker truck freight deliveries during winter months;

·

Providing a 4-month storage for diesel fuel and for prill and cyanide;

·

Installing two adsorption column circuits below Phase 1&4 of the Ridge Pad;

·

Installing two adsorption column circuits below Phase 2&3 of the Ridge Pad;

·

Modifying the process plant to desorption & refining (DR) only;

·

Relocating the process plant, analytical lab, man camp and power plant to Y/D junction;

·

Eliminating 3 north area LAD sites;

·

Adopting heap leach operating procedures using starvation levels of cyanide;

·

Adopting heap rinsing as primary strategy for heap closure;

·

Designing a new main access route, upslope from Y/D junction;

·

Eliminating the Decker Creek road as a main access route.

Throughout 2005, the Corporation was faced with a difficult cash flow situation which restricted managements ability to advance the Corporations projects as quickly as had been intended.  Completion of the EIS was delayed and it is currently anticipated that it will be completed during 2007.  In February 2006, a new annual MOU with USFS was signed by the Corporation, extending the EIS process through 2006. The revised forecast for issuance of a DEIS is in the fourth quarter of 2006, which, provided all permits are obtained, would lead to a possible construction start in the third quarter of 2007. The Corporation will present a revised Supplementary Plan Of Operations (SPOO) to accelerate the EIS process in early 2006.

Abitibi Gold Property, EasternQuébec

In view of the positive market developments for gold, the Corporationdecided early in 2003 to build on its Atlanta Gold base and to expand its gold sector and develop a project pipeline. Considering the lead times from exploration to production, the Corporation decided, for its next gold project, to acquire strategically located gold properties in historically productive gold districts in North America.

Location and Access



34.



---

After examining data on numerous individual opportunities, it became apparent that history has demonstrated the Abitibi volcanic belt to be characterized by one of the highest probabilities for discovering new or adding to known gold resources. The Province of Québec is also the top ranked North American jurisdiction for mining investment according to the Fraser Institute, both with respect to policy and mineral potential.

The Abitibi gold belt is the source of approximately 5,000 (150 million ounces) of the 8,000 tonnes of gold which have been extracted from the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. Québecs portion of the belt continues to yield many new discoveries and annual production exceeds one million ounces, of which a large portion is from the Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde Mining Camp.

Property Interest

In late August 2003, Breakwater Resources Ltd. (Breakwater) granted the Corporation an option to purchase up to an 80% interest in the 6 properties along Quebecs Cadillac-Malartic portion of the Abitibi gold belt. Under terms of the option agreement, the Corporation was required to spend $150,000 before September 2004 and make a payment of $25,000 on that date to renew the option. Aggregate expenditures of $3.5 million and payments totaling $125,000 are required to maintain the option through September 2008 and to earn an initial 60% interest. The Corporation can then purchase a further 10% interest for $100,000 and following completion of a feasibility study, the Corporation can purchase an additional 10% interest by paying $500,000. There is a provision to buy Breakwater out of the project for $1,500,000 if it decides not to participate in the development of the properties.

Following a comprehensive review of Breakwaters information on the optioned properties, an exploration program was established to focus on the Normar, Malartic H, Malartic H Annex and the Mouskor claim portion of the optioned property, totaling 4,500 acres. Certain other claims optioned from Breakwater on the Joannes North and Joannes West portions of the property covering 2,540 acres, were returned to Breakwater during 2004. In addition to the 62 claims optioned from Breakwater (the Optioned Claims), the Corporation also holds an additional 63 claims (the Owned Claims), for total holdings of 125 claims covering 29.2 square kilometres (6,968 acres).

In July 2005, the Corporation optioned its interest in the Optioned Claims and the Owned Claims to Stellar Pacific Ventures Inc. (Stellar).  Stellar assumed the annual rental fee payable to Breakwater and the commitment to incur $1,900,000 in exploration work by September 2008.  If these commitments are fulfilled, Stellar will have a 51% interest in Abitibi and the Corporation will retain a 9% interest in the Optioned Claims and a 49% interest in the Owned Claims.

Regional Geology

Normar was selected as having a high potential for discovery of a gold resource because it straddles the prolific Cadillac Break which most recently has yielded Agnico Eagles impressive Lapa gold deposit about 20 kilometres to the east. Past drilling had confirmed the existence of the Decoeur and Paquin gold deposits for which Breakwater reports cited a combined drill-indicated mineral inventory of 60,000 tonnes at 6.6 grams of gold per tonne. This grade is better than the 5.3 grams of gold per tonne reserve grade at Cambiors Doyon mine some 8 kilometres to the northeast.

The Malartic H property is situated on the northern limb of the Malartic Syncline which hosts within 2.5 kilometres of the property boundary the Black Cliff, Marban, Malartic Hygrade, Norlartic and Camflo gold mines. Production from these mines has exceeded 2 million ounces. Up to six gold-bearing zones are associated with the Norbenite/Norlartic shear where it crosses the south portion of the Malartic H claims. The shear zone continues on to the south where it has yielded significant gold production.  Portions of the Malartic H zones, from one of the deeper holes reported in Breakwater files, assayed 5.33 grams of gold per tonne over 1.05 metres, 5.54 grams of gold per tonne over 1.76 metres, 7.93 grams of gold per tonne over 2.25 metres, 42.7 grams of gold per tonne over 0.9 metres and 3.86 grams of gold per tonne over 2.89 metres.



35.



---

On the Malartic H Annex claims gold has been known to be associated with pyrite where a prominent shear zone cuts basaltic volcanics (Discovery Zone). Over 2 million ounces of gold have been produced from the Siscoe and Sullivan mines, which are located on the same shear zone.  This is the only property for which Breakwater files revealed that additional geophysical coverage might result in definition of new drill targets. Thus, it was decided to conduct induced polarization and magnetometer surveys to focus drilling on unexplored parts of the shear zone with the highest gold potential. Grab samples from a trench on the Discovery Zone were reported in Breakwater files to have returned gold values of more than 1,800 grams of gold per tonne.  A drill hole (M-3, 1936) under this mineralization encountered sections which assayed 94 grams of gold per tonne over 0.35 metres, 31 grams of gold per tonne over 0.34 metres and 21 grams og gold per tonne over 0.65 metres.

The Mouskor property is considered to be located on the same favorable horizon, which to the east contains the Doyon, Bousquet #1, Bousquet #2 and Dumagami Mines. More than 5 million ounces of gold already have been produced from the Doyon and Bousquet #1 mines.

Exploration Program and Results  2003

With the high prospectivity of the area, the Corporation set its objectives to make a significant gold discovery. Forage Benoit/Benoit Diamond Drilling Limited commenced drilling in September 2003. Six (6) drill rigs (BQ, 36.5 millemetre core diameter) were deployed on the four properties. 61 holes were drilled totaling over 22,000 metres.

On the Mouskor property, 10 holes, totaling 2,191 metres were drilled; on the Malartic "H" and Malartic H Annex properties, 20 holes, totaling 9,392 metres were drilled. The described gold zones were tested at depth, as were several geophysical targets. Overall continuity was confirmed while grade and thickness did not change.

On the Normar Property, 31 holes, totaling 11,008 metres, were drilled resulting in two gold discoveries. Although thickness did not change previously interpreted mineralization continuity at Decoeur and Paquin was consistent with previous results. To complement the investigation of the known gold occurrences, profiles were drilled across other areas of favorable geology on the property. One gold discovery was made with three "profile" holes. Two were drilled into a package of intrusive highly altered tonalite intersected gold values which showed a more than eightfold increase in the lower 40 meters from hole # TMN-03-07 to hole # TMN-03-08 approximately 130 metres vertically below. The third hole, TMN-03-31, collared 400 metres to the west, encountered 148.7 metres of tonalite and produced a 1.5 metre intersection of 5.67 grams of gold per tonne (3.82 grams of gold per tonne of pulp check assay). The discovery zone has an indicated width of approximately 100 metres, a strike length of more than 500 metres and an apparent steep northerly dip.  A review of the geological and assay results by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) concluded that this newly discovered mineralized area has potential for an economic concentration of gold.

Another "profile" hole to the north of the Paquin East zone, TMN03-19, returned an uncut assay of 44.7 grams of gold per tonne from a 0.6 metre interval within a 12.5 metre intersection containing numerous blue to smokey quartz injection veinlets and veins, sericitic alteration and silicification, arsenopyrite (locally > 5 %), pyrrhotite and pyrite. Most sulphides are fine grained and mainly in altered dark siltstone at the margin of the quartz veins. This intersection is more sulphide-rich and stratigraphically separated by at least 150 metres from Paquin East.

Exploration Program Review  2004

A thorough review was performed of the large amount of data obtained from the major drilling program in the last four months of 2003. As a result of the review, the Corporation is focusing future exploration on the Normar property while Mouskor, Malartic H and Malartic H Annex are planned to be explored with joint venture partners. Benefits from the work of others during the Corporations 2004 review were derived from a new gold discovery on the nearby Noranda property about one kilometer NW of the Mouskor boundary. This

discovery is along strike with the favorable trend on which the Mouskor and Doyon mines are located and which passes through the Mouskor claims.

In July 2005, the Corporation signed the option agreement with Stellar. allowing the Corporation to concentrate the use of its funds on its other properties.  If the option is exercised by Stellar, the Corporation will retain a 9% interest in the Optioned Claims and a 49% interest in the Owned Claims. Stellar will be the operator of the joint venture provided it retains its 51% interest in Abitibi. Stellar paid $15,000 to the Corporation upon signing the agreement and carried out an exploration program of approximately $108,000 on the Normar portion of the Optioned Claims in late 2005.

Indonesian Property

In  1997, the Corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Twin Gold Cayman Corporation (Twin Gold Cayman) and Twin Gold Layuh Mining Corporation (Twin Gold Layuh) entered into agreements (collectively the "Layuh Agreements") with two wholly-owned subsidiaries of PT Harita Jayaraya ("PT Harita"), an Indonesian company, to form a joint venture between Twin Gold Layuh and such subsidiaries to explore for gold and related minerals and, if successful, to mine in an area covering 86,880 hectares (the "Layuh Property") in the Layuh area of South Kalimantan, Indonesia.  The Layuh Agreements provided that a joint venture would be formed provided that an application is granted for a Seventh Generation Draft C.O.W. (Contract of Work).

Since 1999, the Corporations Layuh Property had been on care and maintenance.At the end of fiscal 2004, the Corporation wrote-off Layuhs carrying value of $1,450,626 because it decided to focus its time and effort on its North American mineral properties. However, the Corporation retains an 85% interest on the Layuh Property and will continue pursuing it with third party participants. In 2005, the Layuh Property was transferred to the Corporation from Twin Gold Layuh, before Twin Gold Layuh and Twin Gold Cayman were dissolved.

Method of Operation

The Corporation has been an exploration stage mineral resource company since inception and has undertaken gold exploration and mine development activities since 1994. Between July 1999 and December 2001, the Corporation focused on diamond exploration in Canada. In 2002, the Corporation reactivated development activities on Atlanta and continued to direct its efforts towards diamond exploration on Brodeur. In 2004, a positive feasibility study on Atlanta was completed and the Corporation has commenced discussions in respect of financing the mine at Atlanta.  Concurrently with this, the EIS and permitting process at Atlanta is progressing.  For 2006, at Brodeur, the Corporation has engaged MPH Consulting Limited (MPH), an international exploration and mining consulting company, to manage bulk sampling programs designed to further evaluate the economic potential of the Freightrain kimberlite and to provide an initial evaluation of the commercial diamond content of Cargo1 group of claims.

On February 9, 2005, the Corporation submitted a Supplement to the Plan of Operation to the U.S. Department of Agriculture  Forest Service (USFS), the lead agency in the permitting process, and on March 2, 2005, the USFS accepted the Supplement as adequate to proceed with the NEPA analysis through the completion of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

During the past three years, all financings undertaken by the Corporation have been by way of private equity offerings.  In 2003, four private offerings were completed for total proceeds of $2,938,063 by issuing 5,357,143 flow through shares, 4,379,167 common shares, and 2,116,667 common share purchase warrants, with each warrant exercisable at $0.50 per warrant. The 2003 offerings were non-brokered efforts initiated by the Corporations management which resulted in lower share issue costs. In fiscal 2004, the Corporation raised aggregate gross proceeds of $9,261,275 by means of equity financings. The financings consisted of the private placement of units, with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant being exercisable for two years with exercise prices ranging from $0.24 to $0.50 per share.  Pursuant to these financings, the Corporation issued warrants in payment of commissions and advisory fees,

consisting of 1,642,500 warrants exercisable at $0.205 per share and 1,589,136 warrants exercisable at $0.23 per share.  The Corporation has also agreed to pay cash fees totaling $248,700. Of the aggregate amount raised, $4,896,100 was raised during the fourth quarter of 2004. Pursuant to the various financings, three directors of the Corporation subscribed for, in aggregate, 4,934,221 units for aggregate proceeds to the Corporation of $1,250,075.  The warrants included in the units subscribed for by the directors are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.24 to $0.50 per share.

In fiscal 2005, the Corporation raised aggregate gross proceeds of $6,278,800 by means of equity financings consisting of 6,955,832 flow-through shares issued at prices of $0.12 and $0.18 per flow-through share, 36 million common shares issued at $0.12 per share and 5,664,846 common share units issued at prices ranging from $0.12 to $0.22, of which 318,181 units consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant and 5,346,665 units consisted of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant, with the warrants exercisable for two years from the date of issue at exercise prices ranging from $0.18 to $0.24 per share. Pursuant to one of the flow-through financings, the Corporation issued 400,000 warrants as payment of commissions and advisory fees, exercisable at $0.12 per share.  The Corporation also paid fees of $59,840 in connection with the financings. Of the aggregate amount raised, $4,980,000 was raised during the fourth quarter of 2005.  Pursuant to the various financings, four directors of the Corporation subscribed for 387,777 flow-through shares and 3,616,665 common share units for aggregate proceeds to the Corporation of $720,800. 1,808,331 warrants included in the units subscribed for by the directors are exercisable at $0.24 per share.

The 36 million shares issued in December 2005 were issued to Jipangu Canada Inc. (Jipangu) and resulted in Jipangu then owning approximately 19.9% of the Corporations outstanding shares.  In addition, Jipangu and the Corporation signed a letter of intent which would have allowed Jipangu to subscribe for and purchase by April 4, 2006, 63,854,545 common share units at $0.1375 per unit for gross proceeds to the Company of $8,780,000. In March 2006, Jipangu decided that it would not proceed with the additional financing.The Corporation continues to actively pursue various financing alternatives so that, with the $4,980,000 raised in December 2005, it will have sufficient funds to adequately finance the planned expenditures on Atlanta and Brodeur described above, as well as for general working capital purposes for all of the 2006 calendar year.  The Corporation is currently in discussions to secure additional financing. A delay in arranging such financing on terms satisfactory to the Corporation could result in construction at Atlanta and ultimately production from Atlanta, being delayed.

To date, the Corporation has incurred almost $1,700,000 in expenditures at Abitibi in respect of the Abitibi property and Stellar has assumed up to $1,900,000 in expenditures on Abitibi, pursuant to the terms of the option agreement signed in July 2005. Expenditures exceeding minimum annual requirements incurred may be carried forward to following years and credited against future expenditure minimums. The Corporation can acquire an additional 10% interest by making a $100,000 cash payment to Breakwater. Within six months after the preparation of an independent positive feasibility study, the Corporation may acquire a further 10% interest in the property by making a $500,000 cash payment to Breakwater. Upon formation of a joint venture, expenditures will be shared between the Corporation and Breakwater in accordance with their respective ownership interest. If Breakwaters interest in the joint venture is reduced to, or below, a 10% interest, then Breakwaters interest in the joint venture will be deemed to be converted to a 1.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty. The Corporation may purchase the 1.5% NSR royalty at any time for a cash payment of $1,500,000 to Breakwater.

The Corporation files assessment reports in respect of its Canadian mineral properties (i.e. Brodeur, Torngat, and Abitibi) that are required to keep the properties in good standing and to maintain the Corporations rights in such properties.  The Corporation may decide to allow certain non-productive claims or permits to lapse, and thereby lose some or all of its interest in such properties.  Currently, the Corporation incurred sufficient exploration expenditures, paid all relevant filing fees and has filed all relevant assessment reports with the relevant provincial and territorial governments to keep the number of Canadian mineral claims and permits in good standing as follows:



|                         |                              |

Legal Proceedings

(i)

In November 1999, the Corporation and Atlanta Gold Corporation of America, Inc., the wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of the Corporation (Atlanta Gold), were named as third party defendants in a lawsuit commenced by Monarch against Doe Run Resource Corporation (Doe Run) with respect to environmental liability on the Butler Ranch, which is adjacent to the Atlanta Property. In 2002, the Corporation obtained an order from the U.S. District Judge in Boise, Idaho, summarily dismissing the claims against the Company and Atlanta Gold. Doe Run appealed that order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and on April 10, 2006, the appeal was dismissed.

(ii)

On May 25, 2005, the Idaho Conservation League (ICL) filed a complaint alleging that Atlanta Gold was in violation of the United States Clean Water Actby allowing drainage from a historic underground mine adit to discharge into a local creek. The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the United States Forest Service ("USFS") have indicated satisfaction with the initiatives taken to date by Atlanta Gold, including commencement in May 2005 of the installation of water treatment facilities for this historic mine drainage. On December 8, 2005, an out-of court settlement on the complaint was approved by the federal district court which confirmed Atlanta Golds requirement to complete construction of the water treatment facilities by December 1 2005, and required Atlanta Gold to create a fund of US$25,000 to be used for additional environmental projects benefiting water quality in the area and to pay $6,000 towards ICLs legal fees. In January 2006, the Corporation paid US$31,000 in respect of the environmental projects fund and the legal fees of ICL. While progress has been made towards installing two new ponds, ICL has concurred with Atlanta Golds assessment that bad weather will likely delay completing the water treatment facilities until spring 2006.

On April 3, 1997, Atlanta Gold Corporation acquired Voisey Bay Resources Inc. by means of a plan of arrangement and changed its name to Twin Gold Corporation.  By Certificate and Articles of Continuance dated March 15, 2000, the Corporation was continued under the laws of the Province of Ontario as Twin Mining Corporation.  The Corporations Articles of Continuance do not contain any limitations on the objects or purposes of the Corporation.

Matters in Which a Director or Officer is Interested

The Corporations by-laws and the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the Act) provide that each director or officer of the Corporation who is a party to or who is a director or officer of or who otherwise has a material interest in any entity which is a party to, any existing or proposed material contract or transaction with the Corporation, must disclose in writing or request to have entered in the minutes of a directors meeting, the nature and extent of such interest.  The declaration of interest must be made at the meeting of the Corporations Board of Directors at which the question of entering into the proposed contract or transaction is first taken into consideration, or if the interested director did not then have an interest in the contract or transaction, at the first meeting of the Board of Directors occurring after the director acquired an interest.  An officer who is not a director must declare his or her interest forthwith after the officer becomes aware that the contract or transaction is to be considered or has been considered by the Board of Directors.  The



45.



---

Corporations by-laws provide that a director interested in a contract or transaction shall not vote on any motion to approve any such contract or transaction, except as otherwise permitted by the Act.  The Act permits a director to vote on resolutions in respect of arrangements by way of security for money lent to or obligations undertaken for the benefit of the Corporation, in respect of matters relating primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and in respect of matters relating to indemnity and insurance.

Borrowing Powers

Pursuant to the Corporations by-laws, the Board of Directors may from time to time, without the authorization of the shareholders of the Corporation:

(i)

borrow money upon the credit of the Corporation;

(ii)

issue, reissue, sell or pledge debt obligations of the Corporation;

(iii)

subject to the Act, give a guarantee on behalf of the Corporation to secure performance of an obligation of any person; and

(iv)

mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest in all or any present or future property of the Corporation to secure an obligation of the Corporation.

The Board of Directors may by resolution delegate any or all of the above-noted powers to a director, a committee of directors or to an officer of the Corporation.

Directors Retirement and Share Ownership

The Corporations articles and by-laws do not require directors to retire at a fixed age and do not require a director to hold qualifying shares of the Corporation.  Unless otherwise stated, the term of office for each director expires at the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders following such directors election or when such directors successor is elected unless prior to such annual meeting, such director retires or is removed from office or otherwise ceases to be qualified to be a director, in each case in accordance with the Act.

Rights and Preferences of Shares

The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of common shares, an unlimited number of first preference shares (First Preference Shares) issuable in series and an unlimited number of second preference shares (Second Preference Shares) issuable in series.  As of June 23, 2006, the Corporation had 183,873,108 common shares, no First Preference Shares and no Second Preference Shares issued and outstanding.  Each common share of the Corporation entitles the holder to one vote at all meetings of shareholders of the Corporation, other than meetings at which only holders of another class or series of shares are entitled to vote.  Subject to the prior rights and privileges attaching to the First Preference Shares and the Second Preference Shares and the shares of any other class ranking senior to the common shares, holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends in such amounts as and when declared by the Board of Directors.  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of the property and assets of the Corporation for the purpose of winding-up the affairs of the Corporation and subject to the prior rights of holders of First Preference Shares, Second Preference Shares and shares of any class ranking senior to the common shares, holders of common shares are entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation.

The First Preference Shares and the Second Preference Shares are each issuable in one or more series.  The Board of Directors is entitled to fix the number of shares in, and determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the First Preference Shares and the Second Preference Shares of each series, including voting and dividend rights.  With regard to payment of dividends and the distribution of property and assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the First



46.



---

Preference Shares rank in priority to the Second Preference Shares and the First Preference Shares and Second Preference Shares rank in priority to the common shares and any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the First Preference Shares or Second Preference Shares.  The First Preference Shares and Second Preference Shares of each series may also be given such other preferences over any other shares ranking junior to them as may be determined.  Each series of First Preference Shares will rank on a parity with every other series of First Preference Shares and each series of Second Preference Shares will rank on a parity with every other series of Second Preference Shares, in each case with respect to payment of dividends and priority in the return of capital in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation.

The First Preference Shares and Second Preference Shares are non-voting, except as otherwise required by the Act and except as may be designated by the Board of Directors with respect to any series of such shares.

Amendment of Share Capital

Pursuant to the Act, the creation of a new class of shares, the addition, change or removal of any rights, privileges or restrictions in respect of all or any of the Corporations shares and the change of the Corporations shares into a different number of shares, among other things, require the approval of a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders who vote in respect of the matter, and in certain circumstances, with each class or series of shares entitled to vote separately.  The Board of Directors is authorized (without shareholder approval) to designate one or more series of First Preference Shares and Second Preference Shares and to fix the rights, privileges, conditions and restrictions attaching to each such series.

Shareholders Meetings

The Act requires that an annual meeting of the Corporations shareholders be held not later than 15 months after the preceding annual meeting, at a time and place determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  The Board of Directors may at any time call a special meeting of the shareholders.  At least 21 days notice and not more than 50 days notice of every shareholders meeting, specifying the time, place and purpose for holding such meeting and, when special business is to be considered, specifying the nature of the special business to be transacted, must be given to the Corporations shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of the Corporation.  Those persons entitled to notice of the shareholders meeting, those entitled to vote at the meeting and such other persons as may be required by the Act, are entitled to be present at the meeting.  Any other person may be admitted to the shareholders meeting only on the invitation of the chairman of the meeting or with the consent of the meeting.

Shareholder Ownership Disclosure

The Corporations articles and by-laws do not contain a provision governing the ownership threshold at which a shareholders ownership must be disclosed.  Under the securities laws of the Province of Ontario, a person or company who acquires beneficial ownership of, or the power to exercise control or direction over, 10% or more of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation, is required to forthwith issue and file a news release and within 2 business days after such acquisition, file a report, in each case containing prescribed information.  Thereafter, such person or company must issue a further news release and file a further report for each additional 2% increase in its shareholdings.

Investment Canada Act

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the "Investment Act"), there are no limitations under the laws of Canada, the Province of Ontario or in the articles or bylaws of the Corporation, on the right of non- Canadians to hold or vote the Corporation's common shares.

The Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an individual, government (or agency thereof), corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is not a "Canadian" as defined in the Investment Act (a "non-Canadian"), unless after review the minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in the

---

Corporation's common shares by a non-Canadian (other than a "WTO Investor" or a NAFTA Investor as defined in the Investment Act) would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control of the Corporation and the value of the assets of the Corporation was $5 million or more. A non-Canadian (other than a WTO Investor or NAFTA Investor) would be deemed to acquire control of the Corporation for the purposes of the Investment Act if he acquired a majority of the common shares outstanding (or less than a majority but controlled the Corporation in fact through the ownership of one-third or more of the common shares outstanding) unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, the Corporation was not controlled in fact by the acquisition through the ownership of such shares. Certain transactions in relation to the Corporation's common shares would be exempt from review under the Investment Act, including, among others, the following:

(a)

acquisition of shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities;

(b)

acquisition of control of the Corporation in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provision of the Investment Act; and

(c)

acquisition of control of the Corporation by reason of any amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control of the Corporation, through the ownership of voting interests, remains unchanged.

The Investment Act provides for special review thresholds for WTO Investors and NAFTA Investors, who are essentially a natural or permanent resident of a World Trade Organization (WTO) or North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) member, or an entity controlled by such persons. The United States is a member of the WTO and NAFTA. Under the Investment Act, as amended, an investment in the Corporation's common shares by a WTO Investor or a NAFTA Investor would be reviewable only if it was an investment to acquire control of the Corporation and the value of the assets of the Corporation was equal to or greater than a specified amount (the "Review Threshold"), which increases in stages. The Review Threshold is currently  $265 million , and is adjusted annually (calculated as prescribed in the Investment Act).

The provisions of the Investment Act may have an anti-takeover effect as they may operate to prevent  non-Canadian persons from directly or indirectly acquiring control of the Corporation.

Shareholders Rights Plan

In November 2000, the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the Plan), the terms of which are set forth in the Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement dated as of November 17, 2000 between the Corporation and Equity Transfer Services Inc. As amended by agreement dated January 26, 2001, the Plan was ratified by shareholders at a meeting held on March 15, 2001 and the Plan will be in effect until the 2011 annual meeting.

Under the Plan, a right to purchase one of the Corporations common shares (a Right) was issued for each outstanding common share as of November 17, 2000. In addition, a Right will be issued for each share issued subsequent to November 17, 2000 and prior to the separation date of the Rights. The rights are initially not separate from the Corporations common shares nor are they represented by separate certificates. However, upon a person acquiring ownership of 20% or more of the Corporations common shares (other than by means of complying with the Plans Permitted Bid provisions or with approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation), a holder of a Right (other than the acquiror of 20% or more of the Corporations common shares) becomes entitled to exercise the Right and to purchase the number of common shares as determined under the Plan at a 50% discount to the then prevailing market price per share.

Under the Plan, a Permitted Bid is, among other things, a bid made to all shareholders for all common shares that is open for at least 60 days and which must be accepted by holders of at least 50% of the Corporations outstanding common shares, excluding shares held by the offeror and certain related parties. If at the end of 60 days, at least 50% of the outstanding shares, other than those owned by the offeror and certain related parties,

have been tendered, the offeror may take up and pay for the shares, but must extend the bid for a further 10 days to allow other shareholders to tender. The Rights may, in certain circumstances, be redeemed by the Corporation at a price of $0.00001 per Right.

C.

Material Contracts

On July 22, 1997, the Corporation and Canadian American Mining Company, LLC (CAMC) (formerly Quest International Resources Corporation) (Quest), entered into a joint venture agreement (the Quest Agreement) whereby the Corporation was initially appointed as the operator of Atlanta with an 80% interest, with Quest holding the remaining 20% participating interest. Quest subsequently advised the Corporation that it had elected under the Quest Agreement not to participate in its contractual share of further property costs incurred after 1997. In December 2002, CAMC transferred its 20% participating interest in the joint venture to the Corporation. CAMC retains the 2% Net Smelter Return royalty on Atlanta, as per the Quest Agreement.

In August 2003, the Corporation signed a letter agreement with Breakwater Resources Ltd. (Breakwater), whereby Breakwater granted the Company the exclusive right and option to earn up to a 100% interest in six gold properties, totaling 91 mining claims and covering 28.49 sq. km, located along a 65km stretch of the Abitibi gold belt in eastern Québec. The Corporation can earn a 60% interest by paying Breakwater $125,000 in rental and option payments (Payments) and by incurring $3,500,000 in expenditures as follows:

Expenditures exceeding minimum annual requirements incurred may be carried forward to following years and credited against future expenditure minimums. The Corporation can acquire an additional 10% interest by making a $100,000 cash payment to Breakwater. Within six months after the preparation of an independent positive feasibility study, the Corporation may acquire a further 10% interest in the property by making a $500,000 cash payment to Breakwater. Upon formation of a joint venture, expenditures will be shared between the Corporation and Breakwater in accordance with their respective ownership interest. If Breakwaters interest in the joint venture is reduced to, or below, a 10% interest, then Breakwaters interest in the joint venture will be deemed to be converted to a 1.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty. The Corporation may purchase the 1.5% NSR royalty at any time for a cash payment of $1,500,000 to Breakwater.

In July 2005, the Corporation signed an option agreement with Stellar Pacific Ventures Inc. (Stellar) in respect of its 125 claims, whereby Stellar could earn a 51% joint venture interest in Abitibi by assuming the Corporations remaining commitment to Breakwater of $1,900,000 in respect of exploration expenditures on the 62 Optioned Claims and $25,000 in respect of annual payments on or before September 1, 2008. Stellar also agreed to fund a minimum $150,000 exploration program in late 2005 or early 2006 on the 63 Owned Claims.  If the option is exercised by Stellar, the Corporation will retain a 9% interest in the Optioned Claims and a 49% interest in the Owned Claims. In July 2005, the Corporation received $40,000 from Stellar in respect of a $15,000 signing fee and $25,000 for the 2005 annual rental payment due to Breakwater.

As at December 31, 2005, the Corporation has incurred, or optioned to Stellar, sufficient exploration expenditures, paid all relevant filing fees and has filed all relevant assessment reports with the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources (QMNR) to maintain all of its remaining Abitibi mineral claims in good

standing until September 1, 2007, assuming Stellar completes the expenditures necessary to exercise its option (copy of Stellar Agreement is indexed as 4.4 at the end of this report). On May 1, 2006, Stellar notified the Company that it would not be exercising the option.

D.

Exchange Controls

There are currentlyno restrictions on the export or import of capital out of or into Canada, nor are there foreign exchange controls or other laws, decrees or regulations of Canada or the Province of Ontario restricting remittance of dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of the Corporation's common shares, other than any applicable withholding taxes. However, no assurance can be given that legislation enacted in the future will not have an adverse impact on non-Canadian shareholders.

E.

Taxation

The following paragraphs set forth certain United States and Canadian income tax considerations in connection with the ownership of common shares of the Corporation. These tax considerations are stated in general terms. There may be relevant state, provincial or local income tax considerations which are not discussed.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general discussion of certain possible United States Federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicableto a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of common shares of the Corporation. 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, provincial, local or foreign tax consequences. (See certain Canadian tax consequences below under the heading "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences"). The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenues Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (the "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. In addition, this discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of recently proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. The following discussion is for general information only and it is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of common shares of the Corporation, and no opinion or representation with respect to the United States Federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of common shares should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal,state, provincial, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares.

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" includes a holder of common shares who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof and any other person or entity whose ownership of common shares is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies,  real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, partnerships, estates, trusts, nonresident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of common shares is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and shareholders who are not residents or citizens of the United States who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.



50.



---

Distributions on Common Shares

U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions in the year received to the extent that the Corporation has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. 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 United States Federal taxable income by corporations or individuals who itemize deductions. (See more detailed discussion in "Foreign Tax Credit" below). To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Corporation, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares. Dividend income will be taxed at marginal tax rates applicable to ordinary income while net long term capital gains of a shareholder other than a corporation are subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%. Corporate United States shareholders are taxed on the net capital gains at the regular tax rates. Gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares will be capital gain if the Common shares are held as a capital asset, and will be long term capital gain if the common shares with respect to which the gain is realized have been held for more than twelve months.

Dividends paid on the common shares will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder which is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Corporation (unless the Corporation is a "foreign personal holding company" or a "passive foreign investment company", as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Corporation and such U.S. Holder has held the shares of the Corporation for at least 46 days. The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations which are beyond the scope of this discussion.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid with respect to common shares may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer's income subject to tax. The foreign tax credit is elective, and if the U.S. Holder elects to take the credit, no deduction for foreign taxes paid is available. Generally, the U.S. Holder accounts for the foreign tax credit in a manner consistent with the U.S. Holders method of accounting. However, the U.S. Holder may be able to claim a foreign tax credit in the year that the foreign taxes accrue even if the U.S. Holder uses the cash method of accounting. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder's United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder's foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as "passive income," "high withholding tax interest," "financial services income," "shipping income," and certain other classifications of income. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application on the limitations on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of common shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Other Considerations

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares of the Corporation:



51.



---

i) Foreign Personal Holding Corporation

If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Corporation's outstanding shares is owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% or more of the Corporation's gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g. possibly dividends received from its non Canadian subsidiaries), the Corporation would be treated as a "foreign personal holding company". In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares would be required to include in gross income for such year their allowable portions of such passive income to the extent the Corporation does not actually distribute such income. A person acquiring stock of a Foreign Personal Holding Corporation from a decedent will not be entitled to a step-up in the basis of the Foreign Personal Holding Corporation at the decedent's death

ii) Foreign Investment Corporation

If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Corporation's outstanding shares are held, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by Code Section 7701 (a)(31)), and the Corporation is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, commodities or any interest therein,it is possible that the Corporation may be treated as a "foreign investment company" as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging common shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains. A U.S. Shareholder acquiring stock of a Foreign Investment Corporation from a decedent may not be entitled to a step-up in the basis of the Foreign Investment Corporation  at the decedent's death.

iii) Passive Foreign Investment Corporation

Under the Code, certain tax consequences may result from classification of a corporation as a passive foreign investment company (a "PFIC"). A corporation not formed in the United States is a PFIC if 75% or more of its gross income for the taxableyear is from passive sources such as interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or if the average percentage of assets by value (in the case of a publicly-traded corporation) held by such corporation during the taxable year which produce passive income is at least 50%. Where the Corporation is both a controlled foreign corporation and a PFIC, the PFIC rules will not apply. Furthermore, a PFIC will not include any Foreign Investment Corporation which has made an election to distribute its income currently under Code section 1247.  Classification of the Corporation as a PFIC may affect shareholders who are United States citizens, resident aliens or United States corporations, estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (a "U.S. shareholder").  A U.S. shareholder who holds stock indirectly (i.e., is a partner in a partnership or a beneficiary in an estate or trust) is also subject to these rules. The Corporation believes that there is a significant possibility that it would be deemed to fit within the PFIC definition.

U.S. shareholders of a company that is a PFIC who held stock after December 31, 1986 are subject to certain adverse tax consequences. For example, a gain recognized on disposition of PFIC stock or on receipt of an excess distribution from a PFIC is considered earned pro rata over the U.S. shareholder's holding period and is treated as ordinary income and is generally taxed at the highest marginal rates in effect during that period (an excess distribution is the amount of any distribution received by the U.S. shareholder during the taxable year over 125% of the average amount received in respect of the PFIC stock by the U.S. shareholder during the three preceding taxable years, subject to certain adjustments). U.S. shareholders must also pay an interest charge based on the value of tax deferral when the U.S. shareholder disposes of its stock or receives an excess distribution. Additionally, a U.S. shareholder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan is treated as having disposed of the stock.  A transfer of the PFIC stock where there is not full recognition of gain,  will be treated as a taxable disposition in some circumstances, and a U.S. shareholder acquiring PFIC stock from a decedent who was a U.S. shareholder during his or her holding period of the PFIC stock, will not be entitled to a step-up in the basis of the PFIC stock at death.



52.



---

Shareholder Election and Corporation Record-keeping Requirements

Adverse tax consequences, other than the loss of the step-up in basis at death, and the deemed disposition where PFIC stock is used as security of a loan, can be avoided, if (i) the U.S. shareholder has elected to treat the PFIC as a qualified electing fund (a "QEF'") with respect to that U.S. shareholder effective for each of the PFIC's taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, which include any portion of the U.S. shareholder's holding period, and (ii) the Corporation complies with reporting requirements to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

THE QEF ELECTION FOR A TAXABLE YEAR MUST BE FILED BY THE DUE DATE (PLUS EXTENSION) FOR FILING THE U.S. SHAREHOLDER'S INCOME TAX RETURN FOR THAT YEAR. A U.S. shareholder makes a QEF election by filing a Form 8621 with his or her tax return. Once the election is made with respect to the Corporation, it cannot be revoked without permission from the Secretary of the Treasury.

When a PFIC becomes a QEF with respect to a U.S. shareholder and an election by the U.S. shareholder to treat the PFIC as a QEF has not been in effect for each of the PFIC's taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, which include any portion of the U.S. shareholder's holding period, the U.S. shareholder may elect to recognize gain as if it had sold the QEF stock on the first day of the taxable year in which the QEF election is made, if (i) the U.S. shareholder holds stock in the PFICon that day, and (ii) the U.S. shareholder can establish the fair market value of the PFIC stock on that day.The U.S. shareholder will treat that deemed sale transaction as a disposition of PFIC stock and will thereafter be subject to the rules described below applicable to U.S. shareholders of a QEF.

The Corporation intends to comply with the reporting requirements that are prescribed in Treasury regulations.  In particular, the Corporation will maintain information so that the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of the Corporation may be determined. If, after review of the requirements, the Corporation decides not to comply with the PFIC record-keeping requirements, the Corporation will so notify its shareholders.

Qualified Electing Funds

In general, U.S. shareholders of a QEF are taxable currently on their pro rata share of the QEF's ordinary income and net capital gain, unless they elect to defer payments of tax on amounts included in income for which no distribution has been received (subject to an interest charge). Because the Corporation technically fits within the PFIC definition,each U.S. shareholder of the Corporation should consult its tax advisor to determine whether it wishes to make the QEF election and with respect to how the PFIC rules affect its tax situation generally.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or the total value of the stock of the Corporation is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation ("United States shareholders"), the Corporation could be treated as a "controlled foreign corporation" under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such United States shareholders in income of their pro rata shares of "Subpart F income" (as specially defined by the Code) of the Corporation. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, a gain from the sale or exchange of stock by a holder of common shares who is or was a United States shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Corporation attributable to the stock sold or exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY IS A GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO U.S. HOLDERS OF COMMON

SHARES UNDER CURRENT LAW. IT DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO PARTICULAR HOLDERS IN LIGHT OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES OR TO HOLDERS SUBJECT TO SPECIAL RULES, SUCH AS TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS, QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS, REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANIES, BROKER-DEALERS, NONRESIDENT ALIEN INDIVIDUALS OR FOREIGN CORPORATIONS WHOSE OWNERSHIP OF COMMON SHARES IS NOT EFFECTIVELY CONNECTED WITH THE CONDUCT OF A TRADE OR BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES, SHAREHOLDERS WHO ACQUIRED THEIR STOCK THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS OR OTHERWISE AS COMPENSATION, AND ANY OTHER NON-U.S. HOLDERS. IN ADDITION, U.S. HOLDERS MAY BE SUBJECT TO STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES. THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, NOR SHOULD IT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY HOLDER OF COMMON SHARES OF THE REGISTRANT AND NO OPINION OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ANY SUCH HOLDER OR PROSPECTIVE HOLDER IS MADE. HOLDERS AND PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS SHOULD THEREFORE CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary of certain Canadian federal income tax considerations is generally applicable to a holder (a "Holder") of common shares who for the purposes of theIncome Tax Act(Canada) (the "Act") is not a resident of Canada, holds the common shares as capital property, dealsat arm's length and is not affiliated with the Corporation, does not use or hold the common shares in carrying on a business in Canada and is not a non-resident insurer for the purposes of the Act.

Dividends

A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax ("Part XIII Tax") equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on his common shares. Under the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980) (the "Treaty") the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States is, if the Holder is a company that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Corporation, 5% and, in any other case, 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. The Corporation will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount to the Canada Revenue Agency.

Disposition of Common Shares

A Holder who disposes of a common share, including by deemed disposition on death, will not be subject to tax under the Act on any capital gain thereby realized unless the common share constituted "taxable Canadian property" at the time of disposition as defined in the Act.  Generally, a common share of a corporation listed on a prescribed stock exchange (the Toronto Stock Exchange is a prescribed stock exchange) will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder unless, at any time within the 60 months preceding the disposition, the Holder or persons with whom the Holder did not deal at arm's length or the Holder together with such persons owned or had an interest in or an option to acquire 25% or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of the Corporation.

A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on disposition of a common share that is taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common share is derived from, or from an interest in, Canadian real property, including Canadian mineral resource properties, or (b) the Holder is an individual who (i) was a resident of Canada at any time within the ten years immediately preceding the disposition and was a resident of Canada for a total of 120 months during the 20 consecutive years preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share or certain substituted properties when he ceased to be resident in Canada.



54.



---

A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on disposition of a common share must include one-half of the capital gain realized (taxable capital gain) in computing his taxable income earned in Canada.  The Holder may, subject to the detailed rules in the Act, deduct one-half of any capital loss arising on disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition upon the disposition of other taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains of any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The directors of the Corporation are elected annually and hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or until their successors in office are duly elected or appointed. The Corporation does not have an executive committee. All directors are elected for a one-year term. All officers serve at the pleasure of the Board.

The Corporation's Board of Directors has only one committee, the Audit Committee, which during 2005 was composed entirely of independent directors, being Cedric Ritchie, Robert Pendreigh, Alfred Powis and James Gray. On March 17, 2005, Mr. Holmes replaced Mr. Powis on the Audit Committee; on August 1, 2005, Mr. Pendreigh resigned as director of the Corporation. Mr. Holmes resigned as director of the Corporation on April 12, 2006, the Audit Committee currently is comprised of Messrs Gray, Powis and Ritchie. The Audit Committee has the responsibility of reviewing with the Corporation's external auditor all financial statements to be submitted to an annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, prior to their consideration by the Board of Directors. The members of the Audit Committee do not receive any separate remuneration for acting as members of the committee. (Please see Statement of Corporate Governance Practices in the Management Information Circular dated March 13, 2006 indexed herein as ITEM 19(b)).

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporations management (with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) conducted an evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15

promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the internal controls of the Corporation.

During 2003, the Corporation adopted a formal charter for its Audit Committee, the text of which is set forth below. One of the Committees role is to recommend to the board of directors the choice of auditor to be nominated for appointment by the Corporations shareholders. The Committee has the authority to approve all audit engagement terms and fees. The Committee must pre-approve all non-audit and assurance services to be provided by the auditor. The auditor is required to report directly to the Audit Committee. On February 13, 2006, there was a meeting of the Audit Committee with the auditors present to discuss and, ultimately, recommend to the full Board of Directors to approve the 2005 audited consolidated financial statements.

In 2005, the Board of Directors, after having reviewed the composition of its Audit Committee, has determined that Warren Holmes and Cedric E. Ritchie qualify as the committees financial expert in accordance with the audit committee financial expert requirements pursuant to the rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Securities Act), as set by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

Purpose

The Audit Committee (the Committee) is appointed by the Board of Directors (the Board) for the purpose of assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities and, to this end, will assist the Board with its review of:

·

the integrity, adequacy and timeliness of the Corporations auditing, accounting, and financial reporting processes;

·

the financial statements and related reports provided by the Corporation to its shareholders, securities regulators, other government or regulatory bodies, or the public; and

·

the Corporations system of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics, that Management and the Board have established from time to time.

The Committee will encourage continuous improvement of, and foster adherence to, the Corporations policies, procedures, and practices at all levels.  The Committee shall also perform any other activities consistent with this Charter, the Corporations by-laws and applicable laws as the Committee or the Board deems necessary or appropriate.

Composition

The Committee will consist of not less than three directors as appointed annually by the Board, each of whom shall be independent and free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a member of the Committee.  In evaluating a members independence, applicable laws and regulations shall be followed.  The Chair of the Committee shall be appointed by the full Board.

All members of the Committee will be financially literate.  Financial literacy is the ability to read and understand basic financial statements.  At least one member of the Committee will have accounting or related financial management expertise, that is, the ability to analyze and interpret a full set of financial statements, including the notes thereto, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), applicable laws and regulations.  This member must have past employment experience in finance or accounting, professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background that results in the individuals financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities.

Each Committee member serves until the earlier of the date on which he or she is replaced by the Board, resigns from the Committee, or resigns from the Board.



Responsibilities

The Committees role is one of oversight.  Management is responsible for preparing the Corporations financial statements and other financial information and for the fair presentation of the information set forth in the financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  Management is also responsible for establishing internal controls and procedures and for maintaining the appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and all applicable laws and regulations.  The external auditor is responsible for auditing the Corporations financial statements and for providing its opinion, based on its audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation in accordance with GAAP.  In carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Committee is not



57.



---

providing any expert or special assurance as to the Corporations financial statements or any professional certification as to the external auditors work.

The Committee will be responsible for:

1.

Recommending to the Board and shareholders the external auditor to be selected.  The Committee has the authority, pursuant to the authority granted by the Corporations shareholders, to approve all audit engagement terms and fees.  The Committee shall pre-approve non-audit and assurance services to be provided to the Corporation by the auditor, but the Chairman of the Committee may be delegated the responsibility to approve these services where the fee is not significant.  The external auditor shall report directly to the Committee, as the auditor is accountable to the Committee and the Board as representatives of the Corporations shareholders.

2.

Reviewing and assessing the adequacy of this Charter and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval on an ongoing basis.

3.

Reviewing the appointments of the Corporations Chief Financial Officer and any other key financial executives involved in the financial reporting process.

4.

Reviewing with Management and the auditor the adequacy and effectiveness of the Companys accounting and financial controls and the adequacy and timeliness of its financial reporting processes.

5.

Reviewing with Management and the auditor the annual audited financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements and related documents, prior to filing or distribution, including matters required to be reviewed under applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

6.

Reviewing with Management, where appropriate and prior to release, any news releases that contain significant financial information that has not previously been released to the public.

7.

Reviewing the Corporations financial reporting and accounting standards and principles and significant changes in such standards or principles or in their application, including key accounting decisions affecting the financial statements, alternatives thereto and the rationale for decisions made.

8.

Reviewing the quality and appropriateness, not just the acceptability, of the accounting policies and the clarity of financial information and disclosure practices adopted by the Corporation, including consideration of the auditors judgments about the quality and appropriateness of the Companys accounting policies.  This review shall include discussions with the auditor without the presence of management.

9.

Reviewing with Management and the auditor, the annual audit plan and results of, and any problems or difficulties encountered during, any external audits and Managements responses thereto.

10.

Monitoring the independence of the auditor by reviewing all relationships between the auditor and the Company and all non-audit and assurance work performed for the Corporation by the auditor on at least an annual basis.

Meetings

The Committee will meet not less than four times per year or more frequently if circumstances dictate.  The Committee Chair shall prepare and/or approve an agenda in advance of each meeting.  A quorum shall consist of a majority of the members of the Committee.  The Committee will keep minutes or other records of its meetings and activities.

The Corporations external auditor shall attend each of the Committees meetings held to consider the audited annual financial statements of the Corporation.  The Corporations external auditor shall also be asked



58.



---

to attend each of the Committees meetings held to consider the unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Corporation and the auditor will be asked to provide its comments thereon.  The Committee may invite such other persons to its meetings as it deems appropriate.The external auditor is accountable to the Committee and to the Board as representatives of the shareholders and shall report directly to the Committee, which is expected to maintain free and open communication with the external auditor and the Corporations Management.  The Committee should meet privately in executive session at least annually with each of Management and the external auditor, and as a committee to discuss any matters that the Committee or each of these groups believe should be discussed.  The Committee Chair shall report on Audit Committee activities to the full Board at each Board meeting.  Employees may submit anonymous complaints or concerns respecting accounting or audit matters to any member of the Committee.

Education

The Corporation is responsible for providing the Committee with educational resources related to accounting principles and procedures, current accounting topics pertinent to the Corporation, and other material as requested by the Committee.  Committee members are encouraged to enhance their familiarity with finance and accounting by participating, at the Corporations expense, in seminars, conferences, roundtables, and other educational programs conducted by the Corporation or outside organizations.  The Corporation will assist the Committee in maintaining appropriate financial literacy.

Authority

The Committee has the authority to conduct any investigation appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities, and therefore has direct access to the external auditor, as well as Corporation personnel.  The Committee has the ability to retain, at the Corporations expense, independent legal, accounting, or other advisors it deems necessary to carry out its duties.

B.

CODE OF ETHICS

In 2003, the Corporation adopted a Code of Conduct, including an Insider Trading Policy, applicable to all directors, officers, senior management and employees of the Corporation. The text of the Code of Conduct is available on our website,www.twinmining.com and at www.SEDAR.com.
