The Company was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act by articles of incorporation dated April 13, 2000.  The Company is primarily engaged in the exploration of mining properties with a view to commercial production. It currently owns or holds interests in various mining properties in Québec but does not have any mines in production. Its activities are focused on the development of three uranium properties, including the Matoush project in the Otish Mountains of northern Quebec.  Recovery of the cost of mining assets is subject to the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the Companys ability to obtain the financing required to pursue exploration and development of its properties, and profitable future production or the proceeds from the sale of its properties. The Company must periodically obtain new funds in order to pursue its activities. While it has always succeeded in doing so to date, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so in the future.  Item 2: Properties.  At December 31, 2007, the Company had a portfolio of four wholly owned mining properties and interests or options on three mining properties in Quebec covering more than 47,633 hectares.  On the next page is inserted as Figure 1 the regional location map of all properties and projects of the Company as of March 2008:      - 4 -  [form10ksbworking001.jpg]  FIGURE 1  MATOUSH PROJECT  U3O8  The map in Figure 2 below represents the Company interest in different properties constituting the Matoush Project including Matoush property, Eclat property, Matoush Extension and Pacific Bay-Matoush property.  - 5 -    [form10ksbworking002.jpg]  FIGURE 2  MATOUSH PROPERTY 100% INTEREST  Location and Access  The Matoush project is located in the Otish Mountains in northern Québec, about 300 kilometres north of Chibougamau, and consists of the Matoush, Matoush Extension and Eclat properties. The Matoush project presently covers 313 claims for a total area of 16,619 hectares. The project is accessible by air, and in winter by the Eastmain winter road, which runs about seven kilometres to the west of the property. Please see Figure 2 supra.  Mining Claims  The property consists of 25 claims covering an area of 1,330 hectares.  A letter of intent dated May 12, 2005 provided for the Company to earn a 51% interest from Ditem Explorations Inc. (Ditem), which owned a 100% interest, in consideration of payments totalling $125,000 over two years, including $5,000 on signature of the agreement; $750,000 in exploration work over three years, including $200,000 the first year; and the issuance of 600,000 common shares of the Company over two years. The Beaver Lake Area project, which lies approximately 20 kilometres to the west, was also covered by this agreement.   - 6 -  A new letter of intent was signed with Ditem on February 21, 2006, giving the Company a 100% interest in the Matoush property under the following terms:  -
Upon signature of the letter of intent$10,000-
Within five days following approval of the transaction by regulatory authorities$140,000-
The issuance of 400,000 shares of Strateco Resources Inc. within five days following regulatory approval. The shares were subject to a resale restriction of four months plus a day.-
A 2% NSR, as defined by industry standards   The claims in the Beaver Lake area project have not been renewed by the Company.  Uranium Potential  The Otish Mountain area is well known for its uranium potential, particularly due to exploration conducted by Uranerz Mining and Cogema in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Mining giant Cameco Corporation, the largest public uranium producer in the world, holds a large number of claims immediately to the south of the Companys Matoush and Eclat properties, and has conducted a range of exploration activities in recent years, primarily geophysics..  The results of exploration conducted by Uranerz Exploration and Mining in the early 1980s before uranium prices tumbled, as well as those obtained by the Company in 2006 and 2007, indicate that the Matoush property has a very good potential.  Uranerz only explored a 900-metre section of the Matoush structure, which had been traced over 3,900 metres on this property. This exploration work included holes drilled at a spacing of about 200 metres.  Hole AM-15, which returned a 16-metre intersection grading 0.95% U3O8 (19 lbs/ton),  served as the Companys point of departure for exploration of the property.  The holes drilled on the Matoush property indicate that the uranium mineralization is closely linked to the fuschite and tourmaline alteration on both sides of a gabbro dike in the sediments. The alteration envelope associated with the Matoush structure is symmetrical, with an average thickness of 40 metres. Typically, adjacent to and moving outward from the dike is first a tourmaline zone, then a chlorite-fuschite-muscovite zone and a limonite-hematite zone.  Exploration Work  The Company was very active in exploration on the Matoush property in 2006, with various activities carried out from February 2006 on, mainly drilling. The results were encouraging. A helicopter-borne radiometry, magnetic and electromagnetic survey covering the entire Matoush project over about 1,410 line-kilometres was also done, along with prospecting.  The holes drilled on the Matoush property served to confirm the presence of the ACF (Active Channel Facies), favourable to the deposition of uranium mineralization. This observation, based on the technical report for the last drilling program by Uranerz in 1984, as well as in-depth reading of each of the holes drilled by the Company in 2006, proved to be a valuable guide for exploration, and particularly for the identification of future drill targets. The Matoush mineralized showing lies in the Indicator Formation, in the the Otish Mountain Paleoproterozoic sedimentary basin. Locally, the Indicator Formation is subdivided into repetitive sequences of two main facies. The first, the Active Channel Facies, or ACF, is composed of relatively coarse, immature arkosic-to-sub-arkosic sandstone. The second, the Channel Bar Facies, or CBF, consists of relatively fine, mature arkosic sandstone, finely laminated with some cross-lamination. Three pairs of ACF-CBF have been identified in holes drilled by the Company in 2006 and the old Uranerz drill holes.   - 7 -  In 2006, three main ACF and two intercalated CBF have been identified from surface. The first ACF extends from surface to -40 metres, the second from -200 to -260 metres and the third from -360 to -460 metres, remaining open at depth as the deepest hole drilled by the Company was to -460 metres.  From March 22 to December 17, 2006, 38 holes totalling 13,668 metres were drilled by one drill operated by Major Drilling International Ltd of Val dOr. Drilling was ongoing, except for during the thaw period from April 17 to June 16.  With the exception of one hole (MT-06-17) that targeted the upper part of the ACF below -400 metres and another drilled in the upper facies near surface (MT-06-24), the 2006 holes were drilled in the AM-15 zone and its northern extension. The Matoush structure, which has been identified over a distance of eight kilometres, was tested by drilling over 720 metres in 2006, and remains open in both directions. The Company received chemical analysis results in 2006 from Saskatoon Research Centre (SRC) laboratories for 25 of the 38 holes drilled during the year and for the remaining 13 holes on February 16, 2007. The results were released on February 20, 2007.  The results obtained on the AM-15 zone, confirmed the high-grade potential over notable widths.  The results obtained included the following holes.  MT-06-041.01% U3O814.1 m.  20.2 lb/tonMT-06-051.54% U3O89.5 m.  30.8 lb/tonMT-06-091.68% U3O85.6 m.  33.6 lb/tonMT-06-101.12% U3O810.8 m.  22.4 lb/tonMT-06-302.10% U3O812.4 m.  42.0 lb/tonMT-06-352.13% U3O815.2 m.  42.6 lb/ton  These results compare favourably to Hole AM-15 drilled by Uranerz in the early 1980s (0.95% U3O8over 16 metres). The first holes drilled by the Company in March 2006, particularly Hole MT-06-02, which was a duplicate of Hole AM-15, returned 0.74% U3O8 over 18.2 metres. Note that the section of 0.95% U3O8 over 16 metres includes an high grade of 20.4% U3O8 over 0.5 metre. The first 29 holes drilled by the Company did not intersect high grades. However, Hole MT-06-30 with a pierce point 50 metres north of Hole AM-15 in the upper ACF and Hole MT-06-35 with a pierce point in the lower ACF, 42 metres from Hole MT-06-30 and 25 metres from Hole AM-15, confirmed the existence of high grades, with 16.6% U3O8over 0.3 metre for MT-06-30 and 11.16% U3O8over 0.9 metre for MT-06-35. Intersections for holes MT-06-30 (2.10 % U3O8 over 12.4 metres) and MT-06-35 (2.13% U3O8over 15.2 metres) proved to be the best to date for the property as a whole. Radiometry on the core showed counts-per-second (cps) of up to 65,000.  The last holes drilled in 2006 on the AM-15 zone (MT-06-30 to MT-06-38) showed the strength of the system. In addition to holes MT-06-30 and MT-06-35 referred to above, which intersected a high grade of more than 2.0% U3O8over a substantial average width of 13.8 metres (45 feet), Hole MT-06-36 intersected 0.78% U3O8 over an impressive width of 23.4 metres (77 feet).  Definition drilling therefore led to a substantial increase in the number of pounds of uranium in the AM-15 zone.  Compelling results were generated by holes MT-06-31, 32, 33 and 37, drilled in the northern extension of Hole MT-06-30, and particularly by Hole MT-06-32. These holes were drilled to test the uranium potential at the ACF/CBF contacts. Hole MT-06-32 was a pleasant surprise, intersecting two mineralized sections in the CBF, the first returning 1.66% U3O8 over 5.5 metres from the fault hangingwall, and the second yielding 0.81% U3O8 over 3.3 metres at the level of the fault.  Exploration holes MT-06-20 to MT-06-27, drilled on a grid of about 100 metres to the north of the AM-15 zone, all intersected the fault with typical alteration. Radiometry on the core indicated weak-to-moderate values of up to 2,500 cps, corresponding to Hole MT-06-25, which intersected 0.20% U3O8 over 1.5 metres in the CBF.  - 8 -   HoleCollarAz.

Drilling resumed on January 10, 2007 following the Holiday break. The first phase of 2007 drilling is essentially aimed at testing the extension immediately south of the AM-15 zone. Six holes, MT-07-01 to MT-07-06, for which the geological logs were completed, were drilled for a total of 2.073 metres.  At the beginning of the year, Hole MT-07-01, the only hole drilled in the northern extension of the AM-15 zone, tested the possible continuity of the mineralization in the CBF layer above holes MT-06-32 and 33.  - 10 -  The hole confirmed the continuity of the structure and the usual alterations. The maximum radiometry recorded on the core was 2,500 CPS.  Of holes MT-07-02, 03 and 04 drilled in the upper section of the ACF facies, Hole MT-07-03 proved the most interesting, yielding a mineralized intersection of 15.8 metres with up to 20,000 CPS.  Holes MT-07-5 and 06, drilled on the same section in the middle and lower ACF facies about 50 metres south of the AM-15 zone, both intersected mineralization in the form of pitchblende and uranophanes, with up to 13,000 and 15,500 CPS respectively. The mineralized intersection from MT-07-6 was exceptionally large, at 15.1 metres (50 feet).  The following table shows the location of holes MT-07-01 to MT-07-6 for which results have been obtained on April 10, 2007 from the SRC laboratory in Saskatoon  HoleCollarAz.

Repairs to the winter road began in mid-January 2007 and a new 12-kilometre section was built. A substantial quantity of equipment has been mobilized, including a 45-person camp, which has been operational two months earlier than expected, in mid-April.  As of June 2007, exploration work had primarily consisted of drilling, with three drills operating on the site. Since the beginning of 2007 (to June 21), 55 holes including one wedge had been drilled for a total of 22,402 metres. Definition drilling continued on Zone AM-15 in preparation for a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant resource estimate, as well as drilling on the north and south extensions of the zone. One drill was assigned to deep drilling and has completed four holes, not including one wedge and another hole left uncompleted. Exploration drilling was also testing the uranium potential of the CBF horizon from surface down to the 180-metre level.  As of April 2007, the Company, has received chemical analyses for 24 holes from the SRC laboratory in Saskatoon, as well as results for MT-07-01 to MT-07-08.  Drilling in the AM-15 area has indicated the presence of interesting uranium mineralization over a distance of more than 300 metres, with a core distance of 160 metres. The AM-15 horizon remains open both to the north and to the south.  - 11 -  Holes for which chemical analyses were received included nine holes drilled in the northern extension of AM-15, namely MT-07-26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 (the pierce point locations can be viewed on the Companys web site at www.stratecoinc.com). The true width of the mineralized sections has not yet been determined. Hole MT-07-29returned the best value, with a grade of 1.97% U3O8,representing 39 lb/ton U3O8,over a length of 6.7 metresin the CBF horizon. These results are even more promising as the intersection corresponds to a fault in the hangingwall of the Matoush fault, 135 metres to the north of the Hole AM-15 intersection. Another hole of interest in this area is MT-07-33,drilled 25 metres to the north of MT-07-29. As in MT-07-29, the uranium mineralization is in the hangingwall of the Matoush fault. The mineralization was found in a 4.00-metre section of the hole, but sampling has not yet been completed. To date, grades of 1.49% U3O8(30 lb/ton) over 0.3 m from 244.2 to 244.5 m and 1.18% U3O8(24 lb/ton) over 0.8 m from 247.6 to 248.4 m had been obtained.  In the rich ACF horizon, also in the northern extension of the AM-15, Hole MT-07-35returned the best intersection, 65 metres to the north of AM-15. A grade of 0.95% U3O8(19 lb/ton)over a substantial length of 10.7 metres,including 1.61% U3O8(32 lb/ton)over 5.9 metres,was obtained. This intersection, which displays intense fuschite, tourmaline and chlorite hydrothermal alteration with pichblende and uranophane, confirms the presence of a corridor of high grades and widths in the upper part of the ACF to the north of AM-15.  Three holes (MT-07-48, 50 and 54) were drilled in the southern extension of AM-15, in the lower CBF, between 10 and 20 metres above the ACF-CBF contact, to test the potential presence of a saccharoidal level recently identified in the northern extension of the AM-15. This level, which would add considerable value to the project, consists of fine, moderately silicified, porous sandstone with a sugar structure (saccharoidal). The results of visual examination and radiometry on the core are encouraging. In Hole MT-07-48, the mineralized zone is 7.0 metres long, with a cps of up to 3,000 associated with the pichblende. In Hole MT-07-50, the mineralization was intersected over 1.0 m with a maximum cps of 2,300, and in Hole MT-07-54, over 6.0 metres avec maximum cps of 5,300, but with 50% core loss.  Thirteen exploration holes were drilled in the southern extension of the AM-15 zone, over a strike length of 270 metres, being up to Section 35+15S, with Hole AM-15 lying on Section 31+50S. Most of these holes intersected the Matoush fault in the ACF. Chemical analysis results have been received for these thirteen holes. Except for Hole MT-07-18, which was drilled on the lake last winter and returned a grade of 0.21% U3O8over 3.4 m, including 0.83% U3O8(17 lb/ton) over 1.5 m, grades were below 0.10% U3O8(4 lb/ton). For instance, Hole MT-07­10, with a pierce point 100 m south of AM-15 in the upper part of the ACF, returned a grade of 0.06% U3O8over 4.0 m, including 0.19% U3O8over 0.8 m.  One of the three drills was mobilized on February 10, 2007, for deep drilling to test the uranium potential of the basement rock (unconformity). In February 2007, the Company obtained the results for the first hole to reach the basement on the Matoush property, namely Hole MT-07-09, with a total length of 1,296 metres. In addition to Hole MT-07-09, three other holes were drilled, namely MT-07-15, 22 and 30, as well as a wedge (MT-07-22-A). A fourth exploration hole (MT-07-47) was drilled to test the basement 170 metres north of MT-07-30, but was left unfinished for technical reasons. One of these holes, MT-07-22,can be considered significant, as it intersected two intrusives, both containing uranium mineralization. The mineralization was intersected in the ACF at an average vertical depth of 700 metres, with the basement lying at 792 metres. The two intrusives are 60 metres apart down hole, with the second corresponding to the Matoush fault. Chemical analysis results were revealing, with respective grades of 1.18% U3O8 (24 lb/ton)over 0.6 metresand 0.30 U3O8(6 lb/ton)over 1.40 metre.  Nine exploration holes (MT-07-36, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 49 and 53) were drilled to test the uranium potential of the CBF at a vertical depth between the -80 m and -160 m. This horizon typically contains low uranium grades. The five holes, centred at -100 m over a strike length of about 240 m, do not appear to have returned any significant mineralization, with counts per second ("cps") of less than 700. However, Holes MT-07-36 and 44, 105 metres apart with a pierce point at 160 m, are more promising. Hole MT-07-36 intersected a mineralized zone of interest over 3.15 metres with a cps of up to 6,300, and Hole MT-07-44 intersected two mineralized zones, the first 2.0 metres long with a cps of up to 3,900 in the CBF, and the second about 13 metres long in the ACF with a maximum cps oscillating from 650 to 2,700.   - 12 -  Hole MT-07-49 had a pierce point 185 metres to the north of AM-15 in the middle part of the ACF, this hole shows that the mineralization extends to the north. The 3.8-metre length of mineralized zone showed the presence of pichblende over its entire length, with a cps of 11,500.  Hole MT-07-23, drilled to test an IP geophysical anomaly outside the Matoush corridor, did not intersect any abnormal structure, and the anomaly remains unexplained.  In addition to the delay in obtaining chemical analysis results from the laboratory, the Company has experienced delays in sampling and consequently in shipments of samples due to a personnel shortage. The situation was recently remedied with the hiring of three geologists.  Exploration work on the Matoush project intensified in the third quarter, particularly as the summer season permitted prospecting and use of the heliportable drill.  Between July 3 and October 3, 2007, 65 holes were drilled on the Matoush project for a total of 14,983 metres.  Exploration drilling in the third quarter took place mainly along the Matoush fault, from the northwest end of the project (Matoush Extension) to the southern part of the Eclat property, 9 km south of the AM-15 zone. The holes in the northern and southern parts of the Matoush project were drilled with a Versa-type drill moved using an Astar 350 B-2 helicopter assigned permanently to the site by Canadian Helicopters. The location of the holes drilled in the third quarter of 2007 can be found in the Form 10QSB for the period ending September 30, 2007.  Aside from the exploration holes drilled from surface to the 60-metre thick ACF-3 level (which hosts the AM-15 zone), including those drilled in the AM-08 sector (ACF-1, 15 metres thick), the emphasis was on exploration drilling at depth in the nearly 400-m thick ACF-4. These holes were drilled to test a new geological model based on the potential presence of other zones lying parallel to the plunge of the AM-15 zone. The best results were obtained from holes MT-07-101, 110 and 116 drilled in mid-October.  Logging of Hole MT-07-101 showed 0.30% eU3O8 over 1.9 m in the upper part of the ACF-4, at -360 m. A maximum of 5,900 cps was recorded on the core. Hole MT-07-110, drilled 60 metres deeper and 50 metres further north, intersected two mineralized sections 4.2 metres apart, with the second corresponding to the Matoush fault. Logging indicated 0.09% eU3O8 over 1.11 m and 0.06% eU3O8 over 2.23 m.  Finally, Hole MT-07-116, drilled 110 m further north and 150 metres deeper than MT-07-110, intersected a 0.40 m mineralized section at the contact of the fault (-525 m), with up to 32,000 cps.  This hole could not be logged.  In-hole logging has become essential as the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) is literally overloaded. Pending receipt of its own probe, the Company is using a Gamma probe on loan from Cameco.  The third quarter was also very active at the prospecting level on the Matoush property, with conclusive results.  The primary objective of the summer 2007 prospecting program was the discovery of new uranium-bearing radioactive boulders or outcrops that could lead to a new mineralized zone. More than 10,000 hectares were covered. Prospecting was conducted systematically on lines spaced at 100 metres.  Most notably, this work led to the discovery of strongly radioactive blocks (5,000 to 61,000 cps) in the east-northeast corner of the Matoush property (Laurent-Martin showing), an outcropping radioactive zone (600 to 10,000 cps) at the northern edge of the North Block and a number of radioactive boulders on both the South and North blocks of the property.  The highly significant discovery of radioactive boulders of up to 61,000 cps made by prospectors from Exploration Sans Frontière subcontracted by the Company lies 5 km northeast of the AM-15 zone.  Geotechnical and metallurgy studies continued in parallel with field exploration work, along with the gathering of data for the environmental impact study.   - 13 -  On September 26, 2007, Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle & Associates (Scott Wilson RPA) completed a NI 43-101 technical report on the Matoush property, including a resource estimate on the AM-15 core zone.  Scott Wilson RPA prepared the initial mineral resource estimate for the AM-15 core zone at Matoush using drillhole data available as of September 6, 2007. A set of cross sections and plan views were interpreted to construct three dimensional (3D) grade-shell wireframe models at a cut-off grade of 0.05% U3O8and a minimum horizontal thickness of 2 metres. High grade assays were cut to 7% U3O8. Forty-four of the 119 drill holes in the AM-15 zone area were used to estimate the mineral resources. The mineralization making up the mineral resource is shared among four vertical lenses controlled by the Matoush Fault Zone (MFZ): Main Lens, South Lens, North Lens and an Upper Lens. Block model U3O8grades within the wireframe models were estimated by ordinary kriging.  Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates  Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Measured and Indicated Resources. This section uses the terms measured and indicated resources. We advise U.S. investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. U.S. 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 section uses the term inferred resources. We advise U.S. 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 pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally minable. 1. Mineral Resource Classification, Category and Definition  The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) guideline for resource classification includes the following definitions which are pertinent to the classification of the Matoush Property resource:  A Mineral Resourceis a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic material in or on the Earths crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.  An Inferred Mineral Resourceis that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.  An Indicated Mineral Resourceis that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.  The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.  On the Matoush Property, Indicated mineral resources are estimated to total 201,000 tonnes grading 0.79% U3O8containing 3.48 million pounds of U3O8. Inferred mineral resources are estimated to total 65,000 tonnes grading 0.43% U3O8containing 0.62 million pounds.  - 14 -  The solid representing the AM-15 core zone plunging to the southeast (source of the new model) can be viewed on the longitudinal section on Stratecos website, at www.stratecoinc.com.

Gemcom Software International Inc. Resource Evaluation Edition Version GEMS 6.11 was used.  The resource estimate does not take in account other mineralized zones intersected by drilling on the Matoush property. The smaller and eroded AM-8 Zone is found at surface in ACF-1, approximately 200 metres vertically above the AM-15 zone. Uranium mineralization of undefined extent has also been intersected in ACF-2 (L-43 occurrence) and ACF-4 (22 Deep Occurrence, 0.31% U3O8 over 1.4 metres). The 22 Deep Occurrence is 200 metres above the basement unconformity and about 330 m vertically beneath the AM-15 zone. All of this mineralization is located within the MFZ and is, as referred to it earlier, Otish-type uranium mineralization. (Scott Wilson RPA, Sept. 2007)  In the last quarter of 2007, drilling was mainly concentrated in the new MT-22 zone sector, located in the ACF-4 at a vertical depth of between -350 and -650 m, with the main goal of identifying new mineralization in order to increase the resource. During this last period, 20 holes were drilled for a total of 11,238 m.  Most of the holes drilled in this area (ACF-4) intersected significant U3O8 values at the intersection of the Matoush fault, generally over small widths. While MT-07-116, for instance, intersected 50,000 cps over 0.3 m, the gamma probe has not yet been used in this hole due to the excessive length of cable required (intersection at -600 vertical metres). The best results were obtained in the last two holes drilled in 2007, MT-07-129 and MT-07-130, 80 m apart at the same elevation (- 350m).   - 15 -  Hole MT-07-129, with a 5.3-m intersection grading 0.37% eU3O8 including 3.3 m of 0.51% eU3O8, was particular as the alteration halo in this hole is identical to the one around the AM-15 zone.  Hole MT-07-130 intersected a 5.8-metre mineralized zone grading 0.37% eU3O8. Exploration work stopped on December 21, 2007, for the holiday break.  ECLAT PROPERTY  Location and Access  The Eclat property is located in the Otish Mountains of northern Québec, immediately south of the Matoush property. The property is accessible by helicopter as well as by the winter road that links the Eastmain mine to Témiskamie. Please see Figure 1 at page 4 for the general location of Eclat property mining claims.  Mining Claims  The property consists of 90 mining claims covering 4,787 hectares. Vija Ventures Corporation holds a 100% interest in the property. Please see the General location map of the Matoush project Figure 2 at page 5 for the location of the mining claims of Eclat property.  A letter of intent dated July 12, 2005 granted  the Company an option on a 100% interest.  The interest applies to all minerals except diamonds.  The agreement provides for the Company to earn its 100% interest by making payments totalling $150,000 over four years, including $7,000 on signature of the agreement and $7,000 on the first, $20,000 on the second, $20,000 on the third and $96,000 on the fourth anniversary, by carrying out $500,000 in exploration over four years and by issuing 600,000 common shares of the Company over three years, of which 400,000 have already been issued. The property is subject to a 2% NSR.  Uranium Potential  The property is strategically located in a relatively unexplored area with known uranium potential. It is bordered to the north by the Matoush property, wholly-owned by the Company, and to the south by ground recently staked by Cameco Corporation.  The property lies in the southern extension of the Matoush structure, which was traced by Uranerz over 3,900 metres using ground VLF surveys conducted in the early 1980s. The holes drilled by Uranerz and the Company clearly show uranium potential.  The Matoush structure also appears to continue for at least two kilometres on the Eclat property, which adds to its value.  Exploration Work  Hole EC-06-01, drilled 5.8 kilometres south of Uranerz Hole AM-15, primarily to maintain certain mining claims in the area, confirmed the southern extension of the Matoush fault.  The results were compelling. The structure was intersected at 111 metres down the hole, at a vertical depth of 76 metres. While unmineralized, the typical tourmaline alteration of the structure was intersected over a 10-metre section, with the fault appearing to be strongly choritized. This hole therefore confirms the presence of the Matoush structure over a distance of more than seven kilometres.  The radiometry and magnetometry survey carried out by Aeroquest Limited in the fall of 2006 on the Matoush property also covered the entire Eclat property.   - 16 -  On the southern portion of the Matoush project, on Eclat property, 10 holes were completed (EC-07-01 to 07-10) for a total of 2,260 metres. These exploration holes drilled with the assistance of the helicopter allowed the Matoush fault to be accurately located on the Eclat property, with radiometry on the core showing a low cps. More drilling will be done in this area during winter 2008.  MATOUSH EXTENSION PROPERTY  The Matoush Extension property is located north, west and east of the Matoush property. Please see Figure 1 at page 4.  Mining Claims  Wholly-owned by the Company, the Matoush Extension property consists of 198 claims covering 11,504 hectares. These mining claims were acquired by the Company in the fall of 2005 and the winter and summer of 2006 to protect the area in the vicinity of the Matoush and Eclat properties.  Please see the general location map of the Matoush project in Figure 2 at page 5.  The northern border of the property is very close to the northern edge of the Otish Basin. The property is broken up by a row of mining claims belonging to Pacific Bay.  With the addition of the Matoush Extension property, the Matoush project as a whole covers 23 kilometres along its north-south axis, intersected by a 900-metre section belonging to Consolidated Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd (See section on Pacific-Bay Matoush property below).  Exploration Work  No significant exploration work was conducted on the Matoush Extension property except for the radiometry and magnetometry survey, which covered most of the property.  On the northern portion of the Matoush project, on Matoush Extension property, exploration work in 2007 consisted in prospection and limited drilling. Prospecting was successful with the identification of an outcropping radioactive zone with 600 to 10,000 cps. Four drill holes were completed in the area for a total of 1,290 metres. Mixed results were obtained, the Matoush fault being laterally displaced.  PACIFIC-BAY MATOUSH PROPERTY  On October 29, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement in principle with Consolidated Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (Pacific Bay) allowing the Company to earn a 60% interest in 277 mining claims owned by Pacific Bay located in the Matoush District of Québec's Otish Mountains. The agreement was subject to the completion of a definitive option agreement and regulatory approval that took place on January 14, 2008. It calls for the Company to pay Pacific Bay a total of $500,000, issue 200,000 Strateco shares and incur $3 million in exploration expenditures over four years, including a minimum of 10,000 meters of drilling. As part of the transaction, the Company acquired one million units of Pacific Bay at a price of $0.30 per unit on January 14, 2008. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant to purchase a common share at $0.60 per share for a period of 24 months.  As of October 29, 2007, the Company assumed direction of exploration activities on the property, including supervision of the drilling program completed in December 2007. The property covers an area of 145 square kilometres (56 square miles) in the Otish Mountains, where the Company has been drilling the Matoush high-grade uranium orebody originally discovered by Uranerz Exploration and Mining in the 1980's. The resource estimate for the property predates NI 43-101.   - 17 -  MONT-LAURIER PROPERTY  U3O8 100% INTEREST  Location and Access  The Mont-Laurier project is located in Pérodeau Township, 40 kilometres northeast of Mont-Laurier, Québec. The property is easily accessible by paved road from Mont Laurier.  Please see Figure 1 for the general location map of the Mont-Laurier property and the following Figure 3 for the location of the claims of the Company on the Mont-Laurier property. [form10ksbworking003.jpg] Figure 3   - 18 -  Mining Claims  The project consists of 80 claims that cover an area of 4,710 hectares. The Company owns a 100% interest in the property, acquired at the end of March 2005. [form10ksbworking004.jpg] Figure 4   - 19 -  Uranium Potential  The ground acquired lies within the Cabonga-Mont-Laurier radioactive district of the Grenville geological province. Intensive exploration work was conducted in the area from 1969 to 1981, after Canadian Johns-Manville discovered uranium mineralization in 1967.  The Companys property covers ground previously held by Mont-Laurier Uranium Mines in the 1970s. The claims block straddles the crest of a northeast-trending anticline and covers the high-potential southern extension of the Tom Dick uranium zones.  The uranium occurs mainly as disseminated uraninite in metamorphosed white pegmatites, as well as in biotite gneiss and impure biotite feldspath quartzites. The paragneiss covers Archean granite gneiss exposed mainly in the eroded windows along the crest of the major northeast-trending anticlinal folds.  Two white pegmatite uranium zones have been identified in the centre-south portion of the ground held by the Company, previously known as the Lac Hanson claims. The largest zone, which is six metres thick and dips 20o to the northwest, has been traced over a distance of 365 metres to the northeast by trenching. Previous work reported an estimate of 544,000 tons grading 0.075% U3O8, or 1.5 lb/ton. The central portion of the Companys property, on the same axis between the Lac Hanson and the Tom Dick zones, remains virtually unexplored due to the fluvio-glacial overburden.  To the north of the property, various zones of radioactive metamorphosed white pegmatite identified by Allied Mining, Canadian Johns-Manville and Mont-Laurier Uranium Mines Inc. indicate a potential for high-tonnage, low-grade, uranium deposits near surface and minable by open pit. SOQUEM also identified molybdenite in the white uranium-bearing pegmatite that could represent a subproduct and improve the economics of the deposit.  While the Mont-Laurier district is classified under pegmatite-type deposits, it displays a geological context similar to the deposit-rich geology of the Athabaska basin in Saskatchewan. Both contexts lie along a major discordance in the deformed bedrock underlying the Proterozoic sedimentary basin. The pegmatite origin of the rocks hosting the Mont-Laurier mineralization is the result of anatexy of the sandstone units during high-intensity metamorphosis.  In the past, Allied-Mining, Canadian Johns-Manville and Mont Laurier Uranium Mines Inc. all confirmed the areas potential for high-tonnage, low-grade open-pit operations. This renewed interest in uranium exploration has been prompted by the meteoric rise in uranium prices from US $6.00 to $85.00/lb in recent years. Given its location, the sustained rise in uranium prices and growing demand for alternative energy sources, the Mont-Laurier property is a solid addition to the Companys property portfolio.  Exploration Work  The Company initiated exploration work on the Mont-Laurier project in the summer and fall of 2006.  First, in mid-June 2006, a helicopter-borne geophysical survey was done over the entire property. The radiometry, Mag and VLF survey was flown along lines spaced at 100 metres, totalling 885 line-kilometres. Various anomalous zones were identified.  The radiometry anomalies, particularly the uranium anomalies, are primarily concentrated along a 200- to 1,000-metre wide, northeast striking band that crosses the entire property. This band of anomalies covers a distance of over 14 kilometres. The two most strongly-anomalous areas are in the north and south of the property.  Following this survey, prospecting was carried out on the most promising areas. This work primarily consisted of scintillometry prospecting over approximately 26 line-kilometres, blasting and collection of 73 samples in the Tom Dick area. Some 11.2 kilometres of linecutting was done in the Lac Hanson area.  This exploration work resulted in the identification of zones of high radioactivity (many times the background level) in the Tom Dick South, Hanson West and Hanson Centre areas. Occasional readings of over 10,000 cps were seen.  - 20 -   Local outcrop spectrometry measurements (GR-135 spectrometer) confirmed the presence of uranium in association with the target helicopter-borne anomalies. For instance, on an outcrop containing white pegmatite on Tom Dick South, the unit recognized as the host of uranium mineralization showed readings of 1,800 to 2,500 cps. Readings of 2,000 to 10,250 cps were recorded at sites on Hanson West, and 4,800 cps on Hanson Centre.  In 2007, the exploration program on the property consisted essentially of drilling.  From January to March 2007, a 2,614 metres - 32-holes drilling program was completed on Area A, B and C. This is the first program carried by the Company since the staking of the property in 2005 and since the work done by Mont-Laurier Uranium Mines in 1971 and SOQUEM in 1973.  In Area A (Lake Hanson West) the 2007 drilling was aimed at testing this zone on a 100-meter spacing drill grid over 1,000 metres of strike. A series of 28 mostly vertical holes (2,274 metres) were drilled to an average depth of about 81 metres. The key white pegmatite units alternating with granitic gneiss were intersected as expected but the dissemination of uranium-bearing minerals seems greater than expected. Decimetric to metric assayed intervals returned values below 0.05 % U3O8.  With those results, it appears difficult to correlate our observations with the historic resources reported for Hanson Lake West (544,000 tons, 0.075% U3O8).  In Area B between Hanson West and Tom Dick South, only one hole was drilled and abandoned at 54 metres. Water and logistic problems were encountered.  For the Area C (Tom Dick South) three drill holes totalling 285 metres were completed at the base of the escarpment bordering on the northern limit of the property with the property of Nova Uranium. Only minor intersections of decimetric width with grades below 0.02% U3O8 were obtained.  Even with the mixed results of the 2007 drilling program, the property still shows many exploration targets that were not covered by recent exploration works in particular the Hanson Center area, the Area B not drilled in 2007, the Area C with respect to the work and results from Nova Uranium and other radiometric airborne survey targets on our property.  APPLE PROPERTY  Mining claims  On August 28, 2007, the Company has acquired 100% the Apple uranium property, wholly owned by Virginia Mines Inc (Virginia) in consideration of 3,250,000 shares of the Company.  The agreement also provides for a 2% NSR royalty payable to Virginia, half of which can be bought back for CAN $1.0 million. The transaction closed on September 6, 2007.  The Apple property consists of 194 mining claims covering 9,928 hectares 80 km southeast of Radisson.  Location and access  The property is located at 75 km southwest of the Radisson airport, in the James Bay area. The property is accessible by a 40 km winter road from km 510 on the paved James Bay road. In summer, the property can be accessed by boat from the Trans-Taïga road.  Please see Figure 1 at page 4 for the general location of the property and the Figure 5 on the next page for location of the claims.    - 21 -   [form10ksbworking005.jpg]  Figure 5  Uranium potential  The project covers a portion of the Apple Formation, which came to light in the early 1970s with the discovery of several extensive uranium-pyrite matrix, quartz pebble conglomerate zones.  The Apple uranium deposit was in fact discovered in 1971 during an airborne survey. The International Nickel Company of Canada Limited (INCO) and James Bay Development Corporation subsequently conducted an extensive joint exploration program from 1972 to 1975, with INCO as the operator. A total of 65 holes were drilled for a total of 14,000 metres, and the uranium conglomerates were traced over a distance of eight kilometres along an east-west axis.  In 1974, INCO performed a resource estimate on a one-kilometre section covering seven subvertically-dipping zones. The non-NI 43-101-compliant estimate yielded 9,365,000 tons grading 0.054% U3O8or 1.08 lb/ton for a total of 10.1 million pounds (GM 57894). This resource includes 4.3 million tons categorized as proven and probable and 5.0 tons categorized as possible. The literature (Robertson et al. 1986) reports a resource of 8.5 million tons grading 0.052% U3O8 (8.8 million pounds of U3O8) contained in a six-metre by one-kilometre wide envelope extending to a  - 22 -  depth of 300 metres, and remaining open at depth. A correlation was established between the highest uranium grades and the pyrite content. INCO dropped the property in 1975, and it has not been explored for uranium since.  Exploration work  In the fall of 2007, the Company conducted a helicopter-borne radiometry survey covering the entire property. This survey led to the identification of new radiometry anomalies and confirmed those identified by earlier surveys.  In early January 2008, the Company began construction of a 14-person camp. A 4,000-metre drilling program began in mid-February. Various targets will be tested.  MISTASSINI PROPERTY  On November 26, 2007, the Company signed an agreement in principle to earn a 60% interest in the uranium rights on the Mistassini property owned by Majescor Resources Inc. (Majescor), subject to signature of a definitive option agreement and regulatory approval. Majescor currently owns 100% of the uranium rights and Superior Diamonds Inc. ("Superior Diamonds ") owns 100% of the diamond rights on the Mistassini property, which is located in the Otish Mountains of Quebec, approximately 40 km south-west of the Companys Matoush property.  The proposed option agreement calls for the Company to allow Majescor to contract Major Drilling's heliportable-drill rig, currently leased to the Company, to drill the Lac Mantouchiche showing in November-December 2007 in return for the Company securing a 30-day right of first refusal to enter into an option agreement with Majescor on the property, with the 30-day period to commence upon the Company's receipt of the drill results from Majescor.  Under the option agreement, the Company can earn an undivided 60% interest in the uranium rights on the property by incurring an aggregate of $1.3 million in exploration expenditures over three years. The Company must reimburse Majescor the cost of the drilling program (approx. $250,000) and incur an additional $250,000 in exploration expenses on the property in the first year, for a total first year firm commitment of $500,000. The remaining $800,000 in exploration expenses will be incurred equally in second year and third year.  During the option period, the Company will be the sole operator for all uranium exploration and will have full access to the property. Superior Diamonds will have access to the property to conduct exploration for diamonds and will be the sole operator of all diamond exploration. Superior Diamonds is entitled to a 2.0% Yellow Cake Royalty on the property. The parties agree to finalize a formal joint venture agreement within 90 days of the Company's election to option the property.  The Company elected on February 14, 2008 to enter into this Option Agreement with Majescor.  OTHER PROPERTY  QUéNONISCA PROPERTY  ZN, PB, CU, AG OPTION TO EARN A 50% INTEREST  The Quénonisca property consists of 33 claims for a total area of 1,799 hectares. It lies 180 kilometres northwest of Chibougamau, Québec, Canada.  On February 26, 1996, Altavista Mines Inc. (Altavista) obtained an exclusive, irrevocable option from SOQUEM to acquire a 50% undivided interest in the Quénonisca property as consideration for exploration work to be carried out under SOQUEMs direction for a total of $75,000, plus an undertaking by Altavista to subsequently finance a minimum of $127,500 in exploration work by February 28, 1997.  In 1997, stripping and drilling were carried out on the property. In 1998, three sulfide occurrences in stockworks were discovered on the Montagnes-Nord grid by SOQUEM.  - 23 -   Drill HoleLocalisation (m)Lenght (m)ResultsFrom:To:1187-97-01116.6118.11.50.12% Zn136.1137.61.50.16% Zn1187-97-02110.5111.10.60.15% Zn, 0.16 g/t Ag113.5114.40.90.28% Zn, 2.4 g/t Ag120.4124.94.50.20% Zn, 1.2 g/t Ag1187-97-0337.538.71.20.25% Zn, 1.9 g/t Ag65.172.37.20.18% Zn, 2.6 g/t Agincluding68.169.61.50.26% Zu, 3.5 g/t Ag, 0.12% Cu1187-97-0496.398.82.50.34% Zn, 6.0 g/t Ag, 0.17% Pb102.4103.51.10.32% Zn, 5.9 g/t Ag, 0.57% Pb112.0113.51.50.21% Zn, 3.0 g/t Ag, 0.13% Pb120.8123.83.00.19% Zn, 2.3 g/t Ag, 0.12% Pb1187-97-0579.483.23.81.08% Za, 7.5 g/t Ag, 0.44% Pbincluding81.081.90.92.00% Zn, 7.0 g/t Ag, 0.53% Pb1187-97-06No significant value1187-97-0760.961.50.66.58 g/t Au1187-97-0822.122.80.70.48 g/tAu  In 1999, SOQUEM carried out a linear 19.6 line-kilometre magnetometer and Max-Min survey on the Montagnes-Nord grid. Various conductors were detected by this survey.  In the fall of 2000, SOQUEM conducted a 1,050-metre, eight-hole drilling program in order to test the best conductors detected in 1999. Numerous sections of mineralized cherts were intersected. Several lenses of pyrrhotite-rich massive sulfides were identified. The Company contributed 50% of the total $201,173 program cost for 2000.  No significant work was carried out on the Quénonisca property since 2001. The mining claims have been renewed.  Action Plan  In the coming months, the Company will continue to focus its exploration efforts on exploration and development of its best uranium and metals projects using advanced exploration methods. Based on industry trends and demand, the Company will also consider acquiring new mining properties for exploration. Financing may be required for this purpose in 2008.    The Company foresees drilling expenses of $26M on its properties in 2008 as follows: $22M on the Matoush property, $2.5M on Apple project, $450,000 on Pacific Bay-Matoush , $650,000 on Eclat property and $400,000 on Mistassini property.

The underwriters also received remuneration options equal to 6% of the total number of units sold under the offering (577,200 units). Each remuneration option enables the underwriters to purchase one unit at the issue price until January 31, 2009.  At any time after June 1, 2007, the Company may notify holders of warrants and remuneration options of its intention to force the exercise of warrants and remuneration options should its shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at a price equal to or greater than $4.50 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. The net proceeds of the private placement will be used to finance additional exploration work on the Companys Matoush Apple, Mont-Laurier project and other properties in Québec and for general working capital purposes.  Agreements to issue securities for acquisition of mining properties  On July 2007, the Company issued 200,000 common shares pursuant to the Option Agreement with Vija Corporation for the acquisition of a 100% interest in Eclat Property.  On August 28, 2007, the Company has acquired 100% of the Apple uranium property, wholly owned by Virginia Mines Inc. (Virginia), in consideration of issuance of 3,250,000 Companys common shares. The Apple property consists of 194 mining claims covering 9,928 hectares 80 km southeast of Radisson.

(d) Public offering in Quebec, Canada  The Company did not realize any public offering in 2007.                          (e) Use of proceeds  The proceeds of the private placements during the period consisted of non flow-through proceeds realized in the year 2006, in the remaining amount of $9,242,201 as of January 1, 2007 and in the year 2007 in the amount of $30,756,550 that includes the sums obtained from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Part of this sum has been used in the last quarter of the period of the following manner: $4,179,258 has been spent on exploration of Matoush, Mont-Laurier Uranium, Eclat Property, Apple property and Pacific Bay-Matoush property and $298,308 on working capital expenses. The Company anticipates possibly using the proceeds for another project if the results obtained do not justify further expenses and the Company reserves the right to reallocate the use of proceeds as it deems appropriate in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.   - 28 -  The Company conducted during the last quarter of 2007 exploration works on Matoush Property in the amount of $3,472,826 representing 11.90 % of the issuers net offering proceeds in the approximate amount of $29,187,530. A summary of exploration works conducted during this reporting period on the Matoush Property can be consulted in the sections Report to Shareholders and Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position in PART 1.  The Company also spent during that period exploration related expenses in the amount of $340,330, on Eclat Property and $2,561 on Mont-Laurier Property, $77,002 on Apple property and $286,539 on Pacific Bay-Matoush property representing each less than 5 % of the issuers net offering proceeds.  The Company paid payments in the last quarter to independent directors fixed fees for their presence to the Board of Directors Meetings and Audit committee meetings in the amount of $4,900 for a total amount during the year of $19,800 (See Item 10 Executive Compensation for U.S. dollar amounts and details).                          (f) Holders  As of March 10, 2008, the Company has no holder of debentures and had 63 holders of record of which 17 are registered holders in the United States.

The Company has 41 registered holders in Canada holding 99% of the shares capital of the Company. The Company has 5 registered holders in other countries.                         (g) Dividends  The Company has not paid any dividends since its incorporation and does not anticipate as of March 10, 2008, the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. At present, the Companys policy is to retain earnings, if any, to finance exploration on its properties. The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon, among other factors, of the Companys earnings, capital requirements and operating financial conditions.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation  (a) Plan of operation  The Company believes it can satisfy its cash requirements through December 31, 2008 since it completed four private offerings in the provinces of in Canada and in other foreign countries in 2006 with a remaining balance  - 29 -  available remaining as of January 1st, 2007 in the amount of $9,242,200. Furthermore on January 31, 2007, the Company obtained financing in the amount of $25,012,000. Of these sums, $26M will be used to fund exploration commitments through to December 31, 2008.  As discussed in the Property section, the Company foresees drilling expenses on its property in 2008 as follows: $22M on the Matoush property, $2.5M on Apple project, $450,000 on Pacific Bay-Matoush, $650,000 on Eclat property and $400,000 on Mistassini property.  For 2008, the Company will concentrate its efforts on the uranium exploration sectors in Canada. The Company is already engaged in and will continue during this period exploration works on Matoush, Eclat, Mont-Laurier Uranium, Pacific Bay-Matoush and Apple properties. Following the industry trends and demands, the Company is also considering the acquisition of properties to conduct exploration works. To that end, a new public offering in Quebec, Canada, might be needed and completed during that period.  At December 31, 2007, the Company also obtained $171,050 from the exercise of 320,500 stock options and,  $5,573,500 from the exercise of 4,404,000 warrants to purchase for an amount additional applicable to working capital of $5,744,550.  The Company does not expect any changes or more hiring of employees since the contracts are given to consultants and sub-contractors specialized in specific fields of expertise for the exploration works.  (b) Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  Scope of Managements Financial Analysis  The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) except for Note 18 that reflects the effect of applying United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP)  Forward-Looking Statements  This document may contain forward-looking statements that reflect managements current expectations with regard to future events. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain factors and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from expected results. Factors that could cause our results, our operations and future events to change materially compared to the expectations expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, volatility in the gold price, risks inherent to the mining industry, uncertainty regarding the mineral resource estimation and additional funding requirements and the Companys ability to obtain such funding.   - 30 -  Selected Annual Information  Selected financial information for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is shown in the following table:  31-12-200731-12-200631-12-2005$$$Total income963,895264,0082,246General and administrative expenses3,091,7951,675,854639,050Loss before write-down522,5791,411,846636,804Net loss522,5792,251,590823,224Net loss per share, basic and diluted0.010.030.02Current assets28,884,99811,561,0561,383,442Total assets52,744,14715,270,6414,731,443Current liabilities1,162,8141,555,924700,951Working capital27,722,18410,005,132682,491Shareholders equity50,377,33313,714,7174,006,092  As at December 31, 2007, the Company had total assets of $52,744,147 compared to $15,270,641 in 2006. This change in total assets was mainly due to an increase of over $28 million in working capital, the acquisition of 100% of the Apple property in consideration of over $8 million in shares, a $10 million increase in deferred expenditures and the acquisition of $465,000 in fixed assets.  Dividend Policy  The Company has not declared any cash dividend on its outstanding common shares since incorporation. Any dividend payment will depend on the Companys financial requirements for its exploration programs, its level of growth and other factors deemed pertinent by the Board of Directors under the circumstances. It is unlikely that a dividend will be paid in the foreseeable future.  Exploration Activities  The technical data in this text is based on a technical report that complies with National Instrument 43-101 on standards of disclosure for mineral projects (NI 43-101), and was reviewed by Mr David A. Ross, M.Sc. P.Geo of Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle & Associates (Scott Wilson RPA), who is a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101. Exploration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 totalled $18,763,939 ($4,715,754 in 2006). Expenses for the past year were higher than in 2006 as the Company carried out more exploration and development work on its properties. The Matoush property was the most active, with a total of $17,655,159 in exploration.  The Company incurred allowable exploration expenses of $18,763,939 during the year and therefore qualifies for Québec refundable tax credit related to resources of up to 38.75% and a credit on duties refundable from Québec of 12% of all eligible exploration expenses. The estimated value of such credits receivable as at December 31, 2007 is $8,664,000.  Projects and New Acquisitions  As at December 31, 2007, the Company had a portfolio of four wholly-owned mining properties and interests or options on three mining properties in Québec covering more than 47,633 hectares.  On August 28, 2007, Strateco announced that it had increased its uranium assets by 9 million pounds of uranium (U3O8) with the signature of a formal letter of intent with Virginia Mines Inc. (Virginia) on the Apple property in the James Bay region of northern Québec.   - 31 -  Under the agreement, Strateco acquired 100% interest of the Apple uranium property, wholly owned by Virginia, in consideration of 3,250,000 shares of Strateco. The agreement also provides for a 2% NSR royalty payable to Virginia, half of which can be bought back for $1.0 million. The transaction closed on September 6, 2007.  The Apple property consists of 194 mining claims covering 9,928 hectares, 80 km southeast of Radisson. The property is accessible by a 40 km winter road from km 510 on the paved James Bay road. In summer, the property can be accessed by boat from the Trans-Taïga road.  The project covers a portion of the Apple Formation, which came to light in the early 1970s with the discovery of several extensive uranium-pyrite matrix, quartz pebble conglomerate zones.  The Apple uranium deposit was in fact discovered in 1971 during an airborne survey. The International Nickel Company of Canada Limited (INCO) and James Bay Development Corporation subsequently conducted an extensive joint exploration program from 1972 to 1975, with INCO as the operator. A total of 65 holes were drilled for a total of 14,000 metres, and the uranium conglomerates were traced over a distance of eight kilometres along an East-West axis.  On October 29, 2007, the Company announced the execution of an agreement in principle allowing Strateco to earn a 60% interest in 277 mining claims of the Pacific Bay-Matoush property owned by Consolidated Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (Pacific Bay) located in the Matoush District of Québec's Otish Mountains (the Property). The agreement is subject to the completion of a definitive option agreement and regulatory approval. It calls for Strateco to pay Pacific Bay a total of $500,000, issue 200,000 Strateco shares and incur $3 million in exploration expenditures over four years, including a minimum of 10,000 meters of drilling. As part of the transaction, Strateco has acquired, on January 15, 2008, one million units of Pacific Bay at a price of $0.30 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant to purchase a common share at $0.60 per share for a period of 24 months.  As of October 29, 2007, Strateco assumed direction of exploration activities on the property, including supervision of the drilling program recently announced by Pacific Bay. Strateco began drilling on the property and is working closely with Pacific Bay field personnel to maximize the value of the exploration programs still underway.  The property covers an area of 145 square kilometres (56 square miles) in the Otish Mountains, where Strateco has been drilling the Matoush high-grade uranium orebody originally discovered by Uranerz Exploration and Mining in the 1980's.  On November 26, 2007, the Company signed an agreement in principle to earn a 60% interest in the uranium rights on the Mistassini property owned by Majescor Resources Inc. (Majescor), subject to signature of a definitive option agreement and regulatory approval. Majescor currently owns 100% of the uranium rights and Superior Diamonds Inc. ("Superior Diamonds ") owns 100% of the diamond rights on the Mistassini property, which is located in the Otish Mountains of Québec, approximately 40 km south-west of Stratecos Matoush property.  The proposed option agreement calls for Strateco to allow Majescor to contract Major Drilling's heliportable-drill rig, leased to Strateco, to drill the Lac Mantouchiche showing in November-December 2007. In return, the Company has exercised its 30-day right of first refusal (RFR), on January 14, 2008, to enter into an option agreement with Majescor on the property, with the 30-day period to commence upon Strateco's receipt of the drill results from Majescor.  Under the option agreement, Strateco can earn an undivided 60% interest in the uranium rights on the property by incurring an aggregate of $1.3 million in exploration expenditures over three years. Strateco must reimburse Majescor the cost of the drilling program (approx. $250,000) and incur an additional $250,000 in exploration expenses on the property in the first year, for a total first year firm commitment of $500,000. The remaining $800,000 in exploration expenses will be incurred equally in second year and third year.  During the option period, Strateco will be the sole operator for all uranium exploration and will have full access to the property. Superior Diamonds will have access to the property to conduct exploration for diamonds and will be the sole operator of all diamond exploration. Superior Diamonds is entitled to a 2.0% Yellowcake Royalty on the  - 32 -  property. The parties agree to finalize a formal joint venture agreement within 90 days of Strateco's election to option the property.  Operating Results  The Company posted a net loss of $522,579 for 2007 compared to a net loss of $2,251,590 for 2006 and $823,224 for 2005. Interest income for the current year was up due to additional income generated by higher cash and cash equivalents.  General and administrative expenses were in the order of $3,091,795 compared to an average of $1,802,233 for the last three years.  Operating costs were strongly affected by the following factors: 1) the increase in the Companys operating and marketing activities since 2006, resulting in higher travel, investor relations and office expenses and a $100,000 donation to Fonds Restor-Action-Nunavik; 2) higher listing and registrar fees related to listing of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX); and 3) charges related to stock options, which represent a substantial portion of general and administrative expenses.  The Company has no sales as it has no producing properties.

Operating costs have been strongly affected by the following factors: 1) the increase in the Companys operating and marketing activities since 2006, resulting in higher travel, investor relations and office expenses and a $100,000 donation to Fonds Restor-Action-Nunavik; 2) higher listing and registrar fees related to listing of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX); and 3) charges related to stock options, which represent a substantial portion of general and administrative expenses.  - 33 -   Taking the above into account, on average it costs $300,000 per quarter to run the Company, less non-recurring expenses like stock-based compensation, registrar expenses related to listing the Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the Fonds Restor-Action-Nunavik donation. Of this amount, $160,000 per quarter represents consultants fees, legal expenses, investor relations expenses and rent payable to a company of which Guy Hébert, a director of the Company, is also a director (See Note 13, Related-Party Transactions for more details).  Fourth Quarter Performance  The Company posted earnings of $1,525,034 due to income tax savings arising from the loss and share issue costs for the fourth quarter of the year, compared to a net loss of $1,092,509 for the fourth quarter of last year. These earnings were mainly due to decrease of $148,000 in investor relations expenses, $49,000 in share issue costs and $1,605,321 in future income taxes.  Cash Assets  The Companys working capital stood at $27,722,184 at year end, up from $10,005,132 at the beginning of the year. This increase was mainly due to a private placement completed during the year for proceeds of $25,012,000 and the exercise of stock options for a total of $171,050 and of warrants for a total of $5,573,500. These funds will be used to carry out the exploration programs planned for 2008. The term deposits are not exposed to asset-backed commercial paper.  During the fourth quarter, warrants were exercised for a total of $4,660,950. Stock options were also exercised for an amount of $1,800. The Company issued 3,418,300 common shares.  Sources of Financing  During the year, the Company completed a private placement completed for a total of $25,012,000 and raised funds of $171,050 through the exercise of stock options and $5,573,500 through the exercise of warrants. The Company issued 17,794,500 common shares for a total of $37,502,050, including 3,450,000 common shares issued in consideration of mining properties valued at $6,745,500.  Off Balance-Sheet Arrangements  The Company does not have any off balance-sheet arrangements.  Related-Party Transactions  The Company conducted the following transactions with a company of which Guy Hébert, an officer and director of the Company, is also an officer and director.  The fees to be paid to this company are equivalent to the compensation that the Company would otherwise pay to an unrelated third party.   - 34 -   20072006Expenses capitalized in the statement of deferred expendituresConsultants and subcontractors$1,145,000$197,000Management fees(1)$1,823,000$583,000General and administrative expenses in the statement of earnings and deficitProfessional fees$367,000$228,000Legal expenses$68,000$61,000Investor relations$168,000$123,000Rent$40,000$39,000Share issue costs charged against capital stock$23,000$57,000  (1)As provided for in the services agreement, management fees represent 15% of first quarter exploration expenses. As of April 1st, 2007, a management fee of 10% is applied to exploration expenses and 5% to purchases.  Accounting Value of Mining Properties  At the end of each year, work is assessed to determine the future potential of each property. This assessment did not result in any write-downs in 2007.  Financial Instruments  Fair Value  Cash and temporary investments, term deposits, receivable subscriptions, tax credits receivable, deposits on exploration work and accounts payable and accrued charges are financial instruments whose fair values approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturities or the prevailing market rates.  Interest Rate Risk  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Companys exposure to interest rate risk is as follows:  · Cash and cash equivalents  variable interest rate · Amounts receivable  interest free · Amounts payable  interest free  In managements opinion, the Company was not exposed to any interest rate risk as at December 31, 2007.  Outstanding Share Data  The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value.  The Company had 114,167,867 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2007 (96,373,367 at December 31, 2006) for a value of $54,208,910 ($18,962,859 at December 31, 2006).  Risks and Uncertainties Exploration and Mining  The Company is at an exploration stage. Exploration and mining activities are subject to a high level of risk. Few exploration properties reach the production stage. Unusual or unexpected formations, fires, power failures, labour  - 35 -  conflicts, floods, rockbursts, subsidence, landslides and the inability to locate the appropriate or adequate manpower, machinery or equipment are all risks associated with mining activities and the execution of exploration programs.  The development of resource properties is subject to many factors, including the cost of mining, variations in the material mined, fluctuations in the commodities and exchange markets, the cost of processing equipment and other factors such as aboriginal claims, government regulations including in particular regulations on royalties, authorized production, importation and exportation of natural resources and environmental protection. Depending on the price of the natural resources produced, the Company may decide not to undertake or continue commercial production.. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of ore.  The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves that meet the requirements of Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote in all probability the properties do not contain any reserves and any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost.  Even if the Company completes the current exploration program and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, the Company will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before the Company knows if it has a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve.  Environmental and Other Regulations  Current, possible or future environmental legislation, regulations and measures may entail unforeseeable additional cost, capital expenditures, restrictions or delays in the Companys activities. The requirements of the environmental regulations and standards are constantly re-evaluated and may be considerably increased, which could seriously hamper the Company or its ability to develop its properties economically. Before a property can enter into production, the Company must obtain regulatory and environmental approvals. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained or that they will be obtained in a timely manner. The cost related to assessing changes in government regulations may reduce the profitability of the operation or altogether prevent a property from being developed. The Company considers that it is in material compliance with the existing environmental legislation.  Financing and Development  The Company has incurred losses to date and does not presently have the financial resources required to finance its planned exploration and development programs. Development of the Companys properties therefore depends on its ability to obtain the additional financing required. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in obtaining the required funding. Failure to do so may lead to substantial dilution of its interests (existing or proposed) in its properties. Furthermore, the Company has limited experience in developing a resource property, and its ability to do so depends on the use of experienced people or in the signature of agreements with major resource companies that can produce such expertise. Commodities Prices  The market for uranium, gold, diamond, base metals or other mineral discovered can be affected by factors beyond the Companys control. Commodities prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. The impact of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.  Uninsured Risks  The Company could become liable for subsidence, pollution and other risks against which it cannot insure itself or chooses not to insure itself due to the high cost of premiums or for some other reason. Payment of such liabilities could decrease or even eliminate the funds available for exploration and mining activities.   - 36 -  Information Disclosure Controls and Procedures  Company management, including the president and chief financial officer, participated in an assessment of the effectiveness of information disclosure controls and procedures for the year ended December 31, 2007. Based on this assessment, the president and chief financial officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective and reliable at the end of the financial year ended December 31, 2007, and were applied in such a way as to provide reasonable assurance that material information on the Company was adequately disclosed.  The management can confirm that there has been no changes concerning the internal control over financial reporting during the exercise ended on December 31, 2007 that is reasonably likely to materially affect on the internal control over financial reporting.  Additional Information and Continuous Disclosure  This management discussion and analysis is dated March 7, 2008 and complies with Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 51-102A on continuous disclosure.The purpose of this management discussion and analysis is to help the reader understand and assess the material changes and trends in the Companys results and financial position.

Item 8A Controls and Procedures  The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Guy Hébert, President, and an extern consultant, the Chief Financial Officer, Mrs. Pauline Comtois, Certified General Accountant (CGA), have conducted an evaluation regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 (e) as of the end of the period covered by the report, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of §240.13a-15. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.    Managements annual report on internal control over financial reporting of the small business issuer  The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Guy Hébert, President, and the Chief Financial Officer, Mrs. Pauline Comtois, Certified General Accountant (CGA), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company;  The management use the following framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as required by paragraph ( c ) of §240.13a-15 or §240.15s-15:  The Board of Directors with recommendation of the audit committee approves the project and budget for exploration programs. An internal control on three levels of authorization and verification is in place for each purchase order, each check issued in payment of invoices and each entry into the books of the Company on a daily basis. Each check that is issued requires two signatures from authorized representatives.  Each financing and its costs and each issuance of shares either related to a financing or to the stock options plan is authorized by the Board of Directors and has to be reported in details to each Securities Commission for which the Company is a reporting issuer and must be published in press releases.  The internal procedures for the financial information within the Company with organizational charts are written in a pamphlet that has been approved by the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.  The Management proceeded throughout the year to the verification and evaluation of the Companys internal control over financial reporting in verifying the operations described in the pamphlet such as the established process for monitoring of signature of checks, numerical order of checks, issuance of purchase orders, invoices auditing, approval of expenses, distribution of expenses in conformity with the budget of operations and confidential information of documents. As to the verification of the financial information itself the Management analysed the expenses posts and the expenses fluctuations.  Following a sample evaluation, the Management can conclude that the internal control is effective, the persons who are responsible apply effectively and vigorously their functions. In taking into account the small number of persons involved, the internal control of financial information is executed in a way so to provide a reasonable assurance that the controls are operating effectively.  Changes in internal control over financial reporting.  The Companys management assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the Companys most recent fiscal year the Chief Financial Officer, Mrs. Pauline Comtois, CGA, did not identify during the last fiscal year any material weakness in the framework to evaluate the internal control over financing and concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting are effective.   - 38 -  The Companys management did not identify any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of §240.13a-15 or §240.15s-15 of this chapter that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2006 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS  The Company is incorporated under the Canadian Business Corporations Act and is engaged in the exploration of properties.  Recovery of amounts indicated under mining properties and the related deferred expenditures are subject to the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the Companys ability to obtain the financing required to complete development and profitable future production or the proceeds from the sale of such assets. At December 31, 2007, management determined the net accounting value of mining properties to be the best estimate of their net recoverable value. This value may nonetheless be reduced in the future.  2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS  Changes in Accounting Policy  Financial Instruments The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants has issued new accounting standards for financial instruments: a) Section 1530 "Comprehensive Income", which introduces a new requirement regarding the temporary exclusion of certain types of gains and losses from net income; b) Section 3855 "Financial Instruments  Recognition and Measurement", which prescribes when an entity must recognize a financial asset or liability or a non-financial derivative instrument on its balance sheet and whether such recognition of the amount must be based on the fair value or the cost, and also specifies how to present the gains and losses on financial instruments; c) Section 3865 "Hedges, which describes when and how hedge accounting may be used. The Company adopted these new recommendations on January 1, 2007, and classified its assets and financial liabilities as financial instruments held for sale and recognizes them at fair value, which corresponds to their cost given their short term. Adoption of these new standards did not have an impact on the Companys interim financial statements.  New Accounting Requirements As of January 1, 2008, the Company must comply with the following new standards: a) Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, which requires that an entity provide information about the objectives, policies and processes used by the entity to manage its capital; b) Sections 3862, Financial Instruments  Disclosures and 3863, Financial Instruments  Presentation, which replace Section 3861, Financial Instruments  Disclosure and Presentation and assign greater importance to the disclosure of information on the risks associated with recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and the way such risks are managed. These new requirements only affect information to be disclosed and do not have a financial impact on the Companys financial statements.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS  The Company considers cash and short-term investments maturing within three months of their acquisition date as cash and cash equivalents.   - 57 - Strateco Resources Inc., an exploration stage company  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006  (in Canadian dollars)    2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)  MINING PROPERTIES AND DEFERRED EXPENDITURES  Mining properties are recorded at cost. Exploration and development costs are deferred, net of government assistance received. In the event of a production decision, costs related to a deposit and recorded under mining properties and deferred exploration expenditures are transferred to fixed asset, and then amortized on the basis of units of production for the year and proven and probable ore reserves. However, when a project is abandoned, the corresponding costs are charged against earnings.  CREDIT ON DUTIES REFUNDABLE FOR LOSSES AND REFUNDABLE TAX CREDIT RELATED TO RESOURCES  The Company is eligible for a refundable credit on duties under the Québec Mining Duties Act. This refundable credit on duties is equal to 12% of expenses incurred for mining activities in Québec and is recognized as a credit under deferred expenditures.  The Company is also eligible for a refundable tax credit for resources for mining industry companies in relation to eligible expenses incurred. The refundable tax credit related to resources represents up to 38.75% of the amount of eligible expenses incurred. This tax credit is recognized as a credit under deferred expenditures.  FIXED ASSETS  Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight line method over three years for fuel tanks, and using the diminishing balance method at a rate of 20 % for rolling stock, machinery and equipment.  CAPITAL STOCK  Shares issued in consideration of non-monetary items are generally recorded at the market value of the shares over a reasonable period preceding and following the announcement of the agreement regarding their issuance.  Share issue costs and future income taxes arising from the variance between the carrying value and the fiscal value of exploration expenses are included in share capital as a credit.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND OTHER STOCK-BASED PAYMENTS  The Company recognizes options granted under the stock option plan as well as warrants granted to brokers pursuant to some financings using the fair value method. Options granted to non-employees and brokers warrants are recorded based on fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  When options or warrants are granted to brokers, the remuneration expense is charged to the activity in question and the counterpart to contributed surplus.  Any counterpart paid by the participants when broker options or warrants are exercised, as well as any contributed surplus created when broker options or warrants are granted, are credited to capital stock.   - 58 - Strateco Resources Inc., an exploration stage company  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006  (in Canadian dollars)    2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)  INCOME TAXES  The Company records its income taxes using the balance sheet method. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized to take into account the impact on income taxes of variances between the accounting value of certain assets and liabilities shown on the balance sheet and their respective fiscal values. A valuation allowance is recorded as required to reflect an income tax asset that is more likely to be realized than not. The impact of any changes in income tax rates is recognized in the year in which the rates change.  NET LOSS PER SHARE  The basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  USE OF ESTIMATES  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally recognized accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets and liabilities reported, amounts related to revenue and expenses, recoverable values for mining property and deferred exploration expenses, environmental liability provisions and the presentation of future liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.   3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS   20072006Cash$763,484$59,220Term deposits with variable rate of 4.35% to 4.56%

Each broker option allows the underwriters to purchase one unit at the issue price until January 31, 2009. One unit at $2.60 consisted of one common shares and half a warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share at $3.50 per share. A total of 288,600 warrants could eventually be exercised. At any time after June 1st, 2007, the Company may notify the holders of broker options of its intention to force the exercise of the broker options should the Companys shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at a price equal to or greater than $4.50 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, 5,387,200 warrants (12,800,000 in 2006) were issued. From this amount, 4,810,000 (11,600,000 in 2006) were issued pursuant to private placements and 577,200 (1,200,000 in 2006) were issued to brokers.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, 4,404,000 warrants (15,878,110 in 2006) of the Company were exercised.  - 62 - Strateco Resources Inc., an exploration stage company  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006  (in Canadian dollars)    7. CAPITAL STOCK (CONTD)  WARRANTS (CONTD)  The fair value of each broker warrant granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At the date of the grant, the weighted-average fair value of the warrants granted was $1.2160 per warrant ($0.2534 in 2006).  The following assumptions were used in the calculations:  20072006Risk-free interest rate2.80%2.68%Expected life1 yr1 yrVolatility110%102%Expected dividend yield0.0%0.0%  An amount of $701,875 was recognized in the share issue costs and credited to contributed surplus ($304,140 in 2006).   8. STOCK OPTION PLAN  The Company has a stock option plan for its officers, directors, key employees and consultants. During the year, the Company increased the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the plan from 3,800,000 to 10,654,586. The maximum number of options that can be granted to any participant may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock. The strike price of the options granted may not be less than the market price, which corresponds to the weighted average price based on the volume and price of the shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five days preceding the option grant. The options granted are valid for a period established by the board of directors, not to exceed five years from the date the options are granted.

The fair value of each option granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At the date of the grant, the weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted was $1.3110 per option ($0.2031 per option in 2006).

RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEARS RESULTS  A provincial tax rate of 8.11% rather than 9.9% was used to calculate future income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006. The financial statements for that year were restated to correct the error. The restatement resulted in a $44,600 increase in the amount credited to contributed surplus arising from the related-party transaction (Notes 10 and 13) and increased in the same amount future income taxes and the balance of the deficit as at December 31, 2006.   10.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  MINING PROPERTIES  Quénonisca Property  On February 26, 1996, Altavista Mines Inc. signed an agreement with SOQUEM pursuant to which it owns a 50% undivided interest in the 78 claims making up the Quénonisca property in the Quénonisca and Salamandre Lake district north of Matagami, Québec.  Work is financed in proportion to the respective interests, failing which the undivided interest of the non-participating party is diluted. Any dilution of an interest to 10% entails the loss of that interest in consideration of a 1% net profit interest (as defined in the agreement) from commercial production on the property.  In April 2000, the Company entered into an agreement undertaking to respect all Altavista Mines Inc.s rights and obligations in relation to the Quénonisca agreement with SOQUEM dated February 26, 1996.  The property now consists of 33 mining claims covering a total area of 1,799 hectares.   - 65 - Strateco Resources Inc., an exploration stage company  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006  (in Canadian dollars)    11.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  On January 15, 2008, the Company announced the signature of the final agreement for Strateco to purchase a 60% interest in 277 claims on the Pacific Bay Matoush property belonging to Consolidated Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (Pacific Bay) in the Matoush area in Québecs Otish Mountains. The agreement provides for Strateco to pay a total of $500,000, issue 200,000 shares to Pacific Bay and invest $3 million in exploration, including a minimum of 10,000 metres of drilling, over a four-year period.  As part of the transaction, the Company acquired one million units of Pacific Bay at $0.30 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant, with each warrant allowing one common share to be purchased at $0.60 for a 24-month period. The shares and warrants are subject to a 12-month hold period lasting until January 14, 2009.  On February 12, 2008, 731,000 warrants were exercised, and the Company issued 731,000 common shares for proceeds of $188,200.  On February 21, 2008, Strateco and Majescor Resources Inc. (Majescor) announced the signing of a letter of intent allowing Strateco to acquire an option to earn an undivided 60% interest in Majescors uranium rights on the Mistassini property, located in Québecs Otish Mountains. The Mistassini property consists in 721 mining claims covering 391 km2. The Company decided to exercise its option right following receipt of analyses for three holes drilled by Majescor in December 2007 on the Lac Mantouchiche uranium prospect.  The option agreement provides for Strateco to acquire a 60% interest in the uranium rights on the property by carrying out a total of $1.3 million in exploration expenditures over three years. Strateco must reimburse Majescor approximately $250,000 for the cost of the drilling program completed in December 2007 and conduct another $250,000 in exploration on the property in the first year, for a total firm commitment of $500,000 for the first year of the option. The remaining $800,000 in exploration expenses will be spent in the second year and third year.  During the option period, Strateco will be the sole operator for all uranium exploration and will have full access to the property. Superior Diamonds Inc. (Superior Diamonds), which holds 100% of the diamond rights, will have access to the property to explore for diamonds and will be the sole party authorized to do so. Superior Diamonds is entitled to a 2.0% Yellowcake Royalty on the property. The parties have agreed to finalize a formal option and joint venture agreement within 90 days. This agreement will also be subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities and Superior Diamonds.    - 70 - Strateco Resources Inc., an exploration stage company  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006  (in Canadian dollars)    18.  THE EFFECT OF APPLYING UNITED STATES ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada. The effect of applying United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) on net earnings would be as follows:  20072006Net loss per Canadian GAAP, as reported$522,579$2,251,590Properties and deferred expenditures (1)19,684,875361,584Deferred tax expenses (recovery) (2)0(299,578)Net loss and comprehensive income for the year,
according to U.S. GAAP$20,207,454$2,313,596Net loss per share per Canadian GAAP, as reported$0.01$0.03Effect of adjustments:Properties and deferred expenditures (1)0.18-Deferred tax expenses (recovery) (2)0.00-Loss per share, according to U.S. GAAP$0.19$0.03  (1) Properties and deferred expenditures are accounted for in accordance with Canadian GAAP as disclosed in note 2. Under Canadian GAAP, the propertys potential for development is sufficient to permit the capitalization of exploration expenditures incurred as property acquisition costs and deferred expenditures and the management intends to pursue the development. Under U.S. GAAP, a final feasibility study showing economically recoverable proven and probable reserves is required for capitalization of property acquisition costs and exploration expenditures. Accordingly, the property related costs must be expended as incurred.  (2)Under Canadian GAAP, shares issued as flow-through shares are recorded at their face value when issued. When the entity acquires assets the carrying value may exceed the tax basis as a result of the enterprise renouncing the deductions to the investors. The tax effect of the temporary difference is recorded as a share issue cost. Under US GAAP, the proceeds from issuance should be allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits. The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the existing shares and the amount the investor pays for the shares. A liability is recognized for this difference. The liability is reversed when tax benefits are renounced and a deferred tax liability is recognized at that time. Income tax expense is the difference between the amount of the deferred tax liability and the liability recognized on issuance.   - 71 - Strateco Resources Inc., an exploration stage company  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006  (in Canadian dollars)    18. THE EFFECT OF APPLYING UNITED STATES ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTD)  The effect of the application of the above adjustments on the balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2007 would be to decrease properties by $10,344,314 to $0 ($459,000 in 2006 to $0), decrease deferred expenditures by $13,350,146 to $0 ($3,250,585 in 2006 to $0) (1) and decrease shareholders equity by $23,394,460 ($3,872,793 in 2006).  The effect on cash flows would be to decrease cash flows from operating activities by $19,082,899 ($4,440,024 in 2006) and decrease cash flows used in investing activities by $19,082,899 ($4,440,024 in 2006).  (1) There would be no effect on long-term liability (increase by $163, 208 in 2006)
