Selected Financial Data

The following constitutes selected financial data for Getty Copper Corp. (Getty) for the last five fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, in Canadian dollars, presented in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and United States GAAP, including a restatement of prior years figures due to a change in accounting policy with respect to exploration expenditures (see also the accompanying audited financial statement as of December 31, 2003, and for the previous year ended December 31).

Notes:

(1)

Under Canadian GAAP applicable to junior mining exploration companies, mineral exploration expenditures can be deferred on prospective properties until such time as it is determined that further exploration is not warranted, at which time the property costs are written off. Getty has expensed the exploration costs as incurred until December 31 2003, which is consistent with U.S. GAAP, whereby all exploration expenditures are expensed until an independent feasibility study has determined that the property is capable of economic commercial production.  Such costs will be deferred from January 2004 until such time as the company determines it if it has economically recoverable resources or until the exploration and development ceases and/or the mineral calms are abandoned.

(2)

Under Canadian GAAP, management incentive shares held in escrow are included in the calculation of loss per share. Under U.S. GAAP, shares held in escrow are excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding until such shares are released for trading. 187,500 shares were released from escrow during 2003.

Additionally, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.128: Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share (EPS) with a presentation of both basic and diluted EPS for all entities with complex capital structures, including a reconciliation of each numerator and denominator. Basic EPS excludes dilutive securities and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were converted into common stock and is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to previous accounting pronouncements. SFAS 128 applies equally to loss per share presentations.

Stock options and warrants outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

See Item 17 for accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for further details.

Except as may be otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are stated in Canadian dollars, Gettys functional and reporting currency.  The following tables set out the exchange rates, based on the noon buying rates in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for the conversion of Canadian dollars into one United States dollar.  The average exchange rates are based on the average of the exchange rates on the last day of the month in such periods.  Also included are the average exchange rates for each month during the previous six months.

Risk Factors

Need for  Additional Financing. Getty currently has sufficient financial resources raised from a flow through financing in December 2003 to undertake by itself a planned exploration and development program during the year ending December 31, 2004. The exploration and development of Gettys properties depend, therefore, on Gettys ability to obtain additional financing through joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing or other means. Getty is currently pursuing financing opportunities to meet its administration costs. If Getty is unable to raise additional capital it will need to curtail its operations and Getty may be materially adversely affected.

The Registrant has No History of Earnings and No Foreseeable Earnings. None of the properties in which Getty has or may acquire an interest has been determined to be commercially feasible and hence none have  any commercial production. Getty has no history of profits and has a substantial deficit. Getty receives no revenues from production or otherwise and is entirely dependent on raising additional equity and loan financing. Getty has paid no dividends on its shares since incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. While Getty may receive funds from  the exercise of outstanding share purchase warrants and stock options  there are no assurances that this will occur., While Getty may generate additional working capital through joint venture or sale of its properties in whole or in part, there is no assurance that this will be possible..

No Ore;. Getty has no mineral producing properties , and Getty has not demonstrated that any mineralized material on its properties constitutes  proven or probable reserves of ore on its properties. Although the mineralized material and mineralized deposit figures included herein have been carefully prepared by Getty, or, in some instances have been prepared, reviewed or verified by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of copper or other minerals from mineralized material will in fact be realized or that an identified mineralized deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) reserve. Estimates of mineralized deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as metals prices, availability of capital for deveopment, permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately mined (if any) may differ from that indicated by drilling results.  Short term factors relating to mineralized material, such as the need for orderly development or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. There can be no assurance that copper and other minerals recovered in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions. Material changes in mineralized material, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects. Mineralized deposits are reported as general indicators of mine life and should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations.

Mineral Prices. Mineral prices are subject to fluctuation. The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted. The mining industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of mineral resource are discovered, a profitable market will exist for the sale of the same. Factors beyond the control of Getty may affect the marketability of any copper or any other materials discovered. The price of copper is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Getty, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, Canadian dollars relative to other currencies), interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods.

Risks of Development, Construction and Mining Operations. Gettys ability to meet production, timing and cost estimates for its properties cannot be assured. Technical considerations, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, inability to obtain financing and other factors could cause delays in developing properties. Such delays could materially adversely affect Gettys business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, while time and cost estimates for exploration, development and construction required at Gettys properties in some cases may include contingency factors to allow for unanticipated increases in costs such as materials and labour costs, these estimates could be exceeded. See Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.

The business of mining is subject to a variety of risks such as cave-ins and other accidents, flooding, environmental hazards, the discharge of toxic chemicals and other hazards. Such occurrences may delay production, increase production costs or result in liability. Getty may become subject to liability for hazards which it cannot insure against or which it may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. In particular, Getty is not insured for environmental liability or earthquake damage.

Environmental Risks. Existing and possible future environmental legislation, regulations and actions could give rise to additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the activities of Getty, the extent of which cannot be predicted. Regulatory requirements and environmental standards are subject to constant evaluation and may be significantly increased, which could materially and adversely affect the business of Getty or its ability to develop its properties on an economically feasible basis. Before development and production can commence on any of its properties, Getty must obtain regulatory and environmental approvals. There is no assurance that such approvals will be obtained on a timely basis or at all. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of operations or preclude entirely the economic development of a property.

The current or future operations of Getty, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various foreign, federal, state and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.

Additional permits and analyses, which may include environmental impact studies conducted before permits can be obtained, may be necessary prior to operation of the properties in which Getty has interests and there can be no assurance that Getty will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to commence construction, development or operation of mining facilities at these properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs. See Description of Property  Regulatory Requirements.

Getty may generate potentially hazardous material in its planned mineral extraction process and must operate in accordance with government-imposed environmental standards and regulations. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have administrative, civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

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

To the best of Gettys knowledge, Getty is operating in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. Getty currently is not insured against environmental liabilities. Management believes that, because Getty is still in the exploration stage, there is minimal risk of incurring significant environmental liabilities, and further believes that this is in accordance with industry practice. Getty intends to obtain insurance for environmental liabilities if and when it becomes engaged in significant mining operations.

The Registrants Share Price is Volatile. Publicly quoted securities are subject to a relatively high degree of price volatility. It may be anticipated that the quoted market for the Common Shares of Getty will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of Getty in creating sales and revenues.

The Registrants Directors and Officers are Part-Time and Serve as Directors and Officers of Other Companies. At June 30, 2004, all of the directors of Getty except Don Willoughby and John Lepinski  serve as officers and/or directors of other resource exploration companies and are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for additional resource opportunities on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies, and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Registrant. Such potential conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of British Columbia corporate and common law. In order to avoid the possible conflict of interest which may arise between the directors duties to the Registrant and their duties to the other companies on whose boards they serve, the directors and officers of the Registrant expect that participation in exploration prospects offered to the directors will be allocated between the various companies that they serve on the basis of prudent business judgement and the relative financial abilities and needs of the companies to participate. The success of the Registrant and its ability to continue to carry on operations is dependent upon its ability to retain the services of certain key employees and members of its board of directors.

Likely PFIC Status Has Consequences for U.S. Investors. Potential investors who are U.S. taxpayers should be aware that the Registrant expects to be a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for the current fiscal year, and may also have been a PFIC in prior and may also be a PFIC in subsequent years. If the Registrant is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. taxpayers holding period, then such U.S. taxpayer generally will be required to treat any so-called excess distribution received on its common shares, or any gain realized upon a disposition of common shares, as ordinary income and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such distribution or gain, unless the taxpayer makes a qualified electing fund (QEF) election or a mark-to-market election with respect to the shares of the Registrant. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the interest charge may exceed the amount of the excess distribution received, or the amount of proceeds of disposition realized, by the taxpayer. A U.S. taxpayer who makes a QEF election generally must report on a current basis its share of the Registrants net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Registrant is a PFIC, whether or not the Registrant distributes any amounts to its shareholders. A U.S. taxpayer who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the common shares over the taxpayers tax basis therein.

Shares of the Registrant may be Affected Adversely by Penny Stock Rules.The Registrants stock may be subject to U.S. Penny Stock rules which may make the stock more difficult to trade on the open market. The Registrants common shares have traded on the Canadian Venture Exchange since April 25, 1988. For further details on the market performance of the Registrants common stock, see Item 5 Nature of Trading Market. Although the Registrants common stock trades on the Canadian Venture Exchange or TSX VENTURE, the Registrants stock may be subject to U.S. penny stock rules. A penny stock is defined by regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an equity security with a market price of less than $5.00 per share. However, an equity security with a market price under $5.00 will not be considered a penny stock if it fits within any of the following exceptions:

(i)

the equity security is listed on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange;

(ii)

the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for LESS than three years, and either has (a) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, or (b) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000; or

(iii)

the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for MORE than three years, and has net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000.

If an investor buys or sells a penny stock, SEC regulations require that the investor receive, prior to the transaction, a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and associated risks. Furthermore, trading in the Registrants common stock is currently subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which relates to non-Nasdaq and non-exchange listed securities. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend the Registrants securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if their market price is at least $5.00 per share.

Penny stock regulations will tend to reduce market liquidity of the Registrants common stock, because they limit the broker/dealers ability to trade, and a purchasers ability to sell, the stock in the secondary market. The low price of the Registrants common stock has a negative effect on the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual shareholders. The low price of the Registrants common stock also limits the Registrants ability to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares. There are several reasons for these effects. First, the internal policies of certain institutional investors prohibit the purchase of low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin. Third, some brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual brokers from dealing in low-priced stocks. Finally, brokers commissions on low-priced stocks usually represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks. As a result, the Registrants shareholders pay transaction costs that are a higher percentage of their total share value than if the Registrants share price were substantially higher.

The rules described above concerning penny stocks may adversely affect the market liquidity of the Registrants securities. The Registrant can provide no assurances concerning the market liquidity of its stock or that its stock will not be subject to penny stock rules. For more information about penny stocks, contact the Office of Filings, Information and Consumer Services of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, or by telephone at (202) 272-7440.

Legal Proceedings. Getty is subject to one legal action in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.  Although Getty believes this claim is without merit, the outcome is not determinable at this time.  See Item 8 for information regarding current legal proceedings.

Possible Litigation.  It is possible as a result of the boards review of the 2002 mineral property acquisition that negotiations will be necessary to resolve any disputes, which may arise between the company and Robak.  I f these negotiations are not successful litigation could result which may impact the companys outstanding shares or the companys interest in the Getty South Mineral Properties.  While litigation generally has a adverse effect on a company, management believes it is premature to suggest a likelihood of litigation or its possible outcome at this time.  See Item 7)B).

ITEM 4

INFORMATION ON GETTY

SUMMARY

A.

History and Development of Getty

1.

The legal name of Getty which is subject of the Annual Report on Form 20F is Getty Copper Inc.

2.

Getty was incorporated on September 23, 1985 under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

3.

Getty (herein the Registrant or the Company) was originally incorporated under the name Exxau Minerals Inc., pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act on September 23, 1985, with an authorized capital of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. Getty was organized for the purpose of engaging in the acquisition and exploration of natural resource properties. Getty became a reporting company in British Columbia on April 25, 1988. From 1985 through 1992, Getty concentrated its efforts on the acquisition and exploration of mineral resource properties.

In early 1992, Getty had  8,088,111 Commons Shares issued and outstanding. 3,157,050 of such shares were held in escrow subject to certain restrictions and were initially issued in 1988 in exchange for common shares of Exxau, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Getty at that time; in exchange for limited partnership units of Exxau, Ltd., Limited Partnership; and in settlement of Exxau, Ltd., Limited Partnerships indebtedness to the shareholders of Exxau, Inc. None of Gettys exploration projects undertaken prior to 1992 proved to be commercially viable. All of Gettys properties acquired prior to 1992 were written off.

At the end of December 31, 2002 Getty had 33,487,313 shares outstanding.  Effective March 7, 2003, the Company consolidated its capital on a 1:2 basis.  The name of the company was changed from Getty Copper Corp. to Getty Copper Inc. of which 16,743,656 common shares were issued and outstanding at that time..

History of Getty North Property:

Robak Industries Ltd. (Robak), a company owned and controlled by John Lepinski, and Masco Capital Inc. (Masco), a company controlled by John Lepinski, began negotiations in 1992 to acquire control of Getty in an effort to access the capital markets to develop its Getty North Property. Getty had no properties under exploration or development at that time.

In May 1993, Getty, pursuant to an arms length purchase and sale agreement to acquire the Getty North Property, issued 5,000,000 of its Common Shares to Robak and 5,000,000 of its Common Shares to Masco. See Interests of Management in Certain Transactions. The issuance of the 10,000,000 Common Shares resulted in a change in control of Getty.

Getty acquired the Getty North Property from Robak and Masco pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated June 30, 1992, as amended September 30, 1992, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty reserved in favour of Robak. Getty issued into escrow 5,000,000 Common Shares to Robak and 5,000,000 Common Shares to Masco as consideration for the property, subject to the Company obtaining an Economic Ore Valuation on the Getty North Property establishing a minimum value of Cdn $2,304,246 and approval by the Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX). The shares were released to Robak and Masco from escrow after the Company obtained the required Economic Ore Valuation prepared by KHA Resource Modelling Inc. and approval from the CDNX on May 11, 1999. After the release of the escrow shares, title to the Getty North Property fully vested in the Company.

There are no old or existing mines on the Getty North Property.

History of Getty South Property, Getty Central Property, Getty Southwest, Getty Central Property:

On September 3, 1992, Getty changed its name to Getty Copper Corp. In addition to the Getty Copper North Property, and all Getty Copper Highland Valley Claims, Getty subsequently acquired joint venture agreements to earn a 50% interest in the Getty South Property, the Getty Central Property, the Getty Southwest Property, and in the Transvaal Property (collectively, the Getty Copper Project or the Getty Copper Highland Valley Project). All of the Mineral Properties previously noted are subject to 1.5% net smelter royalties and the Getty South, Getty Central, Getty Southwest and the Transvaal properties were subject to certain minimum exploration and development requirements. As a consequence of a Mineral Property Interest Sale Agreement dated November 8, 2002 (See Item 7)  Getty purchased the Getty Central and Getty Southwest claims  See Description of Property. Since 1992, Getty has focused its efforts and resources on the acquisition and the exploration of the Getty Copper Project. See Description of Property - The Getty Highland Valley Project. Getty has no subsidiaries.

On March 7, 2003 the TSX Venture Exchange accepted for filing documentation a mineral property agreement dated November 8, 2002 between Getty and Robak Industries Ltd. (Robak), by which Robak has agreed to sell 100% interest in each of the Getty Central and the Getty Southwest and a 50% interest in the Getty South properties (the New Getty Properties) in consideration for 6 million Getty shares (post-consolidation) plus  the below noted NSR and carried interest obligation. .  Getty has also agreed to pay 100% of the cost to place the Getty South property into production, and is entitled to recover all costs (incurred by Getty),  from 80% of production revenue (and thereafter Getty and Robak shall share net revenue 50:50) Robak will also retain a 1.5% NSR in all of the Getty Properties including the New Getty Properties.   The New Getty Properties are subject of a Valuation and Fairness opinion prepared by Ross Glanville and Associates Ltd. In October 2002 and a Technical Report prepared by W.J. McMillan prepared in December 2002.  The Valuation Report and the Technical Report have been filed on the Canadian securities regulatory website at www.SEDAR.com.(See also Item 7)   Prior to the November 8, 2002 agreement described above, Getty was party to an option and  joint venture agreement to earn a 50% interest in the Getty South Property from Robak and Masco pursuant to an Agreement dated November 8, 1995, as amended August 14, 1996 (the Getty South Agreement), subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty reserved in favour of Robak. The consideration was $10; reimbursement of $63,300 for certain costs incurred by Robak in acquiring and maintaining the claims in good standing; and a commitment to (a) incur the first $5,100,000 ofexploration and development work on the claims, (b) complete a feasibility report prepared by a reputable engineer in accordance with industry practice on the claims and (c) place the claims in commercial production on or before December 31, 2003. The Getty South Agreement was superseded by the November 8, 2002 agreement.



Until superseded by the November 8, 2002 agreement Getty had an option agreement to earn a 50% interest in the Getty Central Property from Robak Industries Ltd. and Masco Capital Inc. pursuant to an Agreement dated November 8, 1995, as amended August 14, 1996 (the Getty Central Agreement), subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty reserved in favour of Robak. The consideration was $10; reimbursement of $9,300 for certain costs incurred by Robak in acquiring and maintaining the claims in good standing; and a commitment to (a) incur the first $750,000 of exploration and development work on the claims, (b) complete a feasibility report prepared by a reputable engineer in accordance with industry practice on the claims and (c) to place the claims in commercial production on or before December 31, 2002. Until superseded by the November 8, 2002  agreement, Getty also  had a an option agreement to earn a 50% interest in the Getty Southwest Property from Robak Industries Ltd. and Masco Capital Inc. pursuant to an Agreement dated November 8, 1995, as amended August 14, 1996 (the Getty Southwest Agreement), subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty reserved in favour of Robak. The consideration was $10; reimbursement of $13,300for certain costs incurred by Robak in acquiring and maintaining the claims in good standing; and a commitment (a) to incur the first $1,100,000 of exploration and development work on the claims, (b) complete a feasibility report prepared by a reputable engineer in accordance with industry practice on the claims and (c) a commitment to place claims in commercial product on or before December 31, 2002.

.

On December 19, 2003 the Company signed a memorandum of understanding with Highland Valley Copper.  HVC is a joint venture among Teck Cominco Ltd., a major Canadian mining company as to 97.5% and Highmont Mining Company as to 2.5%.



The Memorandum of Understanding allows HVC (HVC MOU)to explore and develop certain mineral claims controlled by Getty  in the Highland Valley.  Under the terms of the memorandum HVC will have the right to earn an initial 51% interest in the selected Getty claims by spending an aggregate of $5 million by December 31, 2006, under the following schedule:



$1,350,000 by December 31, 2004

$3,000,000 by December 31, 2005

$5,000,000 by December 31, 2006



Upon earning its initial interest, HVC will have the right to earn a further 19% interest from Getty (for a 70% interest) by expending a further $10 million and completing a feasibility study over the next four years.



If HVC elects not to expend the additional $10 million and complete a feasibility study, its interest in the property will revert to a 45% participating interest providing at least $10 million is expended and a 55% - 45% joint venture will be established with Getty as the operator.  If less than $10 million is expended a 65% - 35% joint venture will be established providing at least $5 million has been expended.



Under the terms of the memorandum, if HVC proceeds with a production plan, it will either arrange project financing for at least 65% of the capital costs or extend an offer, on acceptable commercial terms, to lend Getty 65% of its portion of the capital costs to place the project into commercial production.  Each company will contribute its pro rata share of the equity required on a 70% HVC: 30% Getty basis.



The exploration work to be undertaken on the property will be carried out by Teck Cominco Ltd., on behalf of Highland Valley Copper and Getty .

This agreement does not include other claims owned by Getty., which include those known as the Getty Central, Getty Southwest, Getty North, Getty South, and Bram mineral claims. Almost all of the expenditures of HVC are optional and hence there is no assurance that HVC will spend any significant funds on these claims.

History of Transvaal Property:

Getty entered into an option agreement with Genco (then Globe Resources Inc.), dated October 15, 1996, pursuant to which the Company, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty, received the option to earn a 50% interest in and to the Crown-granted mineral claims known as the Transvaal Property. The Transvaal Property is located in the Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia southwest of the Getty North Property, adjacent to the Getty Southwest Property in which the Company holds a 100% undivided interest.

To maintain the option in good standing, the Company had to spend no less than $525,000 on an exploration and development program on the Transvaal property on or before October 15, 2003. Upon the exercise of the option, the Company and Genco would have agreed to enter into a joint venture to further explore and develop the Transvaal Property.  As at December 31, 2002 Getty has expensed $340,185 on this property.  As the Genco agreement expired on December 31, 2003, Getty entered into an agreement in principle to acquire the Transvaal claims from Genco for $275,000 payable by the issuance of 458,333 shares. This transaction is subject to an evaluation dated April 2004 and prepared by Ross Glanville and Associates Ltd., and is still subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in Gettys third fiscal quarter.

Business Overview

Getty is a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of natural resource properties. Getty has an interest in several resource properties in Highland Valley, British Columbia, Canada and intends to seek and acquire additional properties worthy of exploration and development.  The Highland Valley area is a historic copper producing area, and Getty's principal properties are in this mineralized area.Getty's long term objective is to develop and place its Getty Copper Project properties into commercial production. Getty,s properties cover approximately 210 sq. km.(84 sq. miles) of contiguous claims in the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada. Getty's properties are currently in the exploration stage of development, and Getty's short term plans are to continue exploration activities to determine if sufficient mineralization exists to justify a feasibility study in respect of establishing parameters for possible future commercial production. Getty's planned 2004 exploration activities include undertaking diamond drill programs and related work compiling and analyzing drillresults conducting metallurgical testing on drill samples, identifying proven and probable reserves(if any), and maintaining its properties in good standing.

The company has curtailed exploration expenditures over the past three years while it attempted to arrange financing to continue the exploration of its mineral properties.  In December 2003 $2,015,000 was raised through a flow through financing whereby 3,100,000 common shares were issued.

The Getty Copper Project

The Getty Copper Highland Valley Project consists of certain mineral interests in the following contiguous claim groups (collectively, the Properties) each located in the Highland Valley, a historic copper producing area of the  Kamloops Mining Division in British Columbia (the Highland Valley). A 1.5% NRS royalty interest payable to Robak Industries Ltd.( owned by a related party see item 7) or Genco Resources Ltd.( a public company  which has certain directors in common with Getty) is applicable to all the properties below:

|Property                 | Claims | Hectares | Percentage of Interest | Subject to HVC MOU

There are no existing mines on Gettys Properties, and Getty has no mineral producing properties at this time. All of Gettys properties are exploration projects, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable deposit exists in any such properties until further exploration work and a comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, tonnage recoveries and other factors conclude economic feasibility.

The following disclosure regarding accessibility, climate, local resources, infrastructure and physiography, history, geological setting, sampling and security of samples is common to all of the Properties. Disclosure respecting exploration, drilling, mineral resource and exploration and development for each of the individual properties is included below.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

The Properties are easily accessible by the Bose Lake road, which branches off 10 kilometres from the property from the paved Bethlehem Mine road. Forestry and drill roads provide access to the claims. Logan Lake, the closest support community, is about 15 kilometres east of the Getty Copper Highland Valley Project.

The nearest domestic airport is located in Kamloops about an hour drive from the south end of the Properties. The major city of Vancouver, B.C. situated approximately 330 kilometres to the southwest by the Coquihalla Highway, provides access to an international airport and seaport.

The Properties are located on and around Forge Mountain at an elevation between 1,450 to 1,900 metres. The topographic relief is moderate and the surface is covered by glacial deposits cut by recent stream channels. Small topographic highs are immediately underlain by glacial drift and Tertiary volcanic cover.

The climate is characteristic of the dry belt of the B.C. Interior Plateau and precipitation is about 23 cm. annually. The seasonal climate conditions are generally moderate. Severe weather conditions can occur for isolated periods in the winter, although the snowfall is usually moderate and the summer temperatures are cool to warm and mean temperatures are 14.1°C in July and -6.6°C in January, respectively. Mining activities are able to continue year round.

The Company believes that an established mining infrastructure and a skilled labour force are available in the Highland Valley area, as the region has a history of porphyry copper mining. The water supply in the region is limited; however, a previous operator in the Highland Valley area obtained a water supply for its mining operations from a subsurface basin. A 500 kva power line transverses the property and telephone service is available in Logan Lake and at nearby mines. The Company believes that all necessary mining infrastructure such as water, power and access will be available at the anticipated future mine sites.

The town of Logan Lake is the nearest municipality to the Properties and is the current location of the Companys site office. Logan Lake has a population of approximately 2,300. It is linked to Vancouver, 330 kilometres to the southwest, via the Coquihalla Highway.

History

The history of the Highland Valley copper district dates back to approximately 1896, when it was explored by prospecting, panning, trenching and drifting near high grade copper occurrences.

Geological Setting

The Getty Highland Valley Project mineral tenure is comprised of 210 square km of contiguous mineral claims located in the Highland Valley, British Columbias premier copper producing area, approximately 200 km northeast of Vancouver (Figure 1). The local area contains excellent transportation and power infrastructure, a large pool of experienced mining and support personnel and a mining based economy.

The Getty Copper mineral tenure contains favourable Guichon Creek Batholith geology and adjoins to the south the large Cu-Mo mining and milling operations of the Highland Valley Copper Partnership (HVC) owned by Teck Cominco (97.5%) and Highmont Mining (2.5%).

Getty s claims span the entire width of favourable Guichon Creek Batholith geology immediately to the north of HVCs holdings. Gettys most advanced projects, the Getty North deposit, the Getty South deposit and the Getty West-Transvaal prospect are located in the eastern part of the property in the same geological and structural setting as the Bethlehem deposits located five to eight km to the south. The large Glossie zone and North Valley zone induced polarization anomalies discovered in the central and western portions of the property are in a different geological setting.  The Getty West-Transvaal Glossie and North Valley Zones are part of the Getty claims under options to Highland Valley Copper as of December 19, 2003

Sampling and Analysis

Drill core is mechanically split; one half of which is submitted for preparation and analysis. The other half is catalogued and stored on the site.

All Assays and analyses are performed by Eco-Tech Laboratories in Kamloops, British Columbia where they store the samples they test for future reference.

Security of Samples

Drill core samples are stored in the Getty office-warehouse in a locked and alarmed warehouse.

Exploration

During 2001 Dr. J. Oliver P.Geo completed a program of 1:10,000 scale geological mapping on part of the North Valley Zone supported with petrographic and litho geochemical data as well as a program of grid extension and infill soil sampling.  Dr. Jim Oliver, P. Geo recommended a $270,000 follow-up work program for the exploration of: 1) high grade structurally controlled copper-silver zones. 2) stockwork or disseminated porphyry style mineralization, and (3) screening for potential PGM systems in mafic to ultramafic rocks identified by the detailed geological mapping.  The recommended program consists of completion of the 1:10,000 scale geological mapping , grid extension and lithogeochemical, soil and till geochemical surveys, back hoe trenching, and 5000 feet of NQ diamond drilling.  The program is also to include a compilation of the large geophysical and geochemical database developed by the 1996 and 1997 programs and its reinterpretation in view of the current 1:10,000 scale geological mapping.  These claims are under options to Highland Valley Copper as of December 19, 2003.

Getty North Property

Exploration

Prior to the acquisition of the Getty North Property by Getty from Robak and Masco, Robak held the Getty North Property for approximately two decades. During that period, in excess of $350,000 was spent on exploration work on the property consisting of silt and soil sampling, trenching and bulk sampling. Since the date of Gettys acquisition of the Getty North Property to December 31, 2003, the Company has completed $6,201,914 of exploration work on the property, consisting of aerial photographic surveys and base map production, diamond drilling, geological mapping, assaying, induced polarization and magnetics geophysical surveys, soil geochemical surveys,  metallurgical testing, and resource calculation.

In 1997, the Company undertook a $3 million program of drilling and sampling on the Getty North Property. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had completed 64 diamond drill holes totalling 17,444.5 metres (57,235.4 ft). These holes were systematically drilled on sections 30 metres apart to provide the density of data points required for an independent mineral deposit update. The Company has not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves on the Getty North Property

Mr. A. Frye of KHA Resource Modelling Inc. independently performed a mineral deposit estimation using computerized 3D geological and block deposit models. Based on this December 1997 estimate, the Getty North deposit is estimated to contain a mineral deposit of 72.1 million drill indicated and inferred tonnes averaging 0.31% copper, including 10.03 million tonnes of oxidized material averaging 0.40% copper and 44.4 million tonnes of sulphide material averaging 0.37% copper.

In December 1997, the Company retained Bateman Engineering Inc. of Denver, Colorado (Bateman) to perform a pre-feasibility study for the oxidized part of the Getty North Deposit and the proposed Getty North Copper Plant. Bateman identified a potentially economic mineable mineral deposit of approximately 8.56 million tonnes comprising 7.2 million tonnes of oxide grading 0.47% copper and 1.36 million tonnes of sulphide grading 0.50% copper, at a strip ratio of 0.8 to 1 with a potential mine life of 7 years. Bateman recommended that the Company conduct a full feasibility for the Getty North Oxide Deposit. Bateman also recommended that the Company conduct (prior to or during the full feasibility study) further leach and assay comparison tests that might increase the mineable mineral deposit estimates.

Mineral speciation studies and petrographic studies were carried out in 2001 by G& T Metallurgical Services Ltd. and R.C. Wells, P.Geo on five samples from the oxidized part of the Getty North Deposit.  The principal objective of this work was to identify and quantify the various copper and gangue minerals present in the samples as part of the on-going metallurgical leach tests of the oxide deposit.  These studies indicated that secondary (oxide) copper minerals account for the bulk of the copper present in the samples and that calcite contents are generally trace up to a maximum of 1% in one sample.

Getty . also commissioned an Interim Scoping Study by Innovat Limited under the supervision of D.A. Mackie, P.Eng to investigate alternatives to the proposed Heap Leach SX/EW Cathode Copper plant suggested by Bateman Engineering Inc., for the Getty North Oxide Deposit in their Feasibility Outlook report of 1998.  The scoping study examined Continuous Vat Leach as an alternative to the SX/EW Heap Leach process and the production of Copper Sulphate Crystals and two different variations of Copper Powder Production Plants, in addition to Cathode Copper.  Based on this preliminary study and cursory market information the production of Copper Powder appears to generate the best economics.

Finally, Getty Copper Corp. concluded a program of hydrological baseline studies and data collection in the area of the proposed Getty North Oxide Mine and Processing Plant that had been carried out on a continuing basis since 1998 by M. Miles and Associates Ltd.

Mineralization

The Getty North deposit is situated in the north central portion of the Guichon Batholith, an area Getty believes has a favourable structural trend of copper deposits. Getty believes the deposit is predominantly hosted by quartz diorite of the Guichon variety cut by dykes and breccia zones. Sericite, chlorite and carbonate associated with copper mineralization overprint the protolithic mineral assemblage.

Cross sections based on extensive drilling show that the mineralization occurs in a shape similar to an inverted horseshoe containing a central zone of lower grade mineralization. The Getty North deposit displays continuity in a northwest direction for a distance of at least 300 metres. Intrusive contacts and faulting, as seen in drill core, both control and displace mineralization, and dip steeply to the southwest.

In the central and north portions of the deposit a well-developed zone of oxidation occurs to a depth of more than 100 metres. In this area, oxidation of the primary sulphides is generally complete. Copper mineralization in the oxidized zone consists of chrysocolla, malachite, azurite, cuprite, copper manganese oxides, native copper and chalcocite. Primary sulphides generally occur below the oxidized zone and consist of, in order of abundance, pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite and molybdenite.

Approximately 15% of the Getty North deposit is covered by unmineralized tertiary volcanic rock, varying in thickness from 2 metres to 70 metres.

The following drill-indicated and inferred mineral resource comprising the Getty North Deposit was calculated by KHA Resource Modelling Inc. on December 17, 1997. The calculations are based on a computer generated block model without any allowance for pit design or mining dilution. Getty believes the deposit remains open to expansion at depth and possibly to the east where a large favourable anomaly has been identified and requires drill testing.

Mineralized material or deposit is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriate drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage of average grade of metals. Such deposits do not qualify as a reserve until a comprehensive evaluation, based upon unit cost, grade, tonnage recoveries and other factors, concludes economic feasibility.

(b)

Getty South Property

The Getty South Property is in the early exploration stage and there is insufficient data to establish whether proven or probable reserves exist on the property.  An extensive program of closely spaced definition drilling is required to test the property to the drill indicated level of confidence before a meaningful mineral resource estimate can be performed.

No operational mines exist on the Getty South Property, and any existing historical workings have been sealed as required under British Columbia law.

Exploration History

The property was acquired by Trojan Exploration Limited in 1955 and was explored by Trojan Consolidated Mines Limited by surface and underground methods. Recovery of copper values by diamond drilling at that time was poor. Approximately one million dollars was spent on exploration during the period 1955 to 1973. The following work was performed by previous operators before the Company acquired the property: Surface diamond drilling - 15,556 metres; Underground diamond drilling - 1,158 metres; Percussion drilling - 319 metres; Underground drifting - 1,719 metres; Two compartment shaft - 49.1 metres; and Surface trenching - 396 metres.

The Getty South Property is in the early stages of exploration, and based on the exploration to-date, the Company has not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves on the Getty South Property. In 1992, an independent consultant performed a mineral deposit estimate based on physical work completed on the Getty South Property prior to the Companys acquisition of the property. In 1996, the Company undertook a thirteen diamond drill-hole program aggregating 3236 meters of drilling that provided assay results that were lower than anticipated, and the Company has determined that the drilling completed by previous operators is not reliable for determining grade.

There is no assurance that a commercially viable ore deposit (if any) exists on the Getty South Property until further exploration work and a comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, tonnage recoveries and other factors conclude economic feasibility.

As part of a systematic assessment of the grade and extent of near-surface oxide/sulphide-copper mineralization at the Getty South deposit, a program of surface trenching consisting of 13 trenches totalling approximately 1,572 metres in aggregate length was completed as of December 31, 1997. The assay results to-date indicate that  significant concentrations of copper, mostly as leachable, oxide copper, occur over an area measuring approximately 240 metres by 40 metres. Additionally, significant results were obtained approximately 200 metres to the south.

The Company has completed initial exploration work of its own on the Getty South Property, including aerial photographic surveys and base map production, drilling, trenching, assaying, geophysical, geochemical and geological work, at a cost of $818,042 to December 31, 2003.

Mineralization

The Getty South deposit is hosted within a breccia zone measuring approximately 600 metres from north to south, and 250 metres in width, which intrudes Guichon variety quartz diorite of the Guichon Creek Batholith. This breccia body is one of several which occur within a well-defined northerly trending structural zone of faulting and minor intrusions (dykes) that extends for 9 kilometres from the JA deposit through the Bethlehem orebodies and on through to the Getty North deposit. The breccia body consists of fragments of quartz diorite and dacite porphyry set in a matrix of finely broken and crushed rock and secondary minerals such as quartz and tourmaline. Mineralization in the form of specular hematite, chalcopyrite and secondary copper minerals, such as malachite, azurite, chrysocolla, cuprite and native copper occurs mostly between rock fragments and along structurally controlled veinlets and crush zones.

Drilling

The Getty South deposit has been less thoroughly drill tested than the Getty North deposit, but has been explored by one underground level comprising a 49.1 metre shaft, approximately 1,775 metres of drifting and crosscutting and approximately 1,477 metres of underground diamond and percussion drilling. Although 15,550 metres of surface drilling were completed by previous operators, it is reportedly of poor quality and thus is not a reliable base for calculating the copper mineral resource. During 1996, the Company completed an initial 13 hole reconnaissance diamond drilling program totalling 3,236.2 metres that provided results lower than anticipated.  Previous engineering reports concluded that diamond drilling results have proven unreliable when compared with underground development sampling, and that diamond drilling has proven unsatisfactory for determining grade due to the nature of the mineralization of the breccia deposit.  Large diameter reverse circulation (RC) drilling has been recommended as a better method to determine the grade of mineralization in the breccia deposit.

(c)

Getty Central Property

The Company has completed initial exploration work of its own on the Getty Central, including aerial photographic surveys and base map production, geochemical soil sampling, prospecting, geophysical surveys and geological work, at costs to December 31, 2003 of $56,635 for the Getty Central Property.

The Getty Central Property is in the early exploration stage, and there is insufficient data to establish whether proven or probable reserves exist on the property. There are no existing mines on the property. The Company has not planned any further exploration on the property for 2004.

(d)

Getty Southwest Property

The Company has completed initial exploration work of its own on the Southwest Property including aerial photographic surveys and base map production, geochemical soil sampling, prospecting, geophysical surveys and geological work, at costs to December 31, 2003 of $386,065.

The Getty Southwest Property is in the early exploration stage, and there is insufficient data to establish whether proven or probable reserves exist on the property. There are no existing mines on the property. The Company has not planned any further exploration on the property for 2004 as 34.4% of this property is subject to the HVC MOU.

(e)

Transvaal Property

Exploration

The Transvaal Property is in the early exploration stage, and there is insufficient data to establish whether proven or probable reserves exist on the property. There are no existing mines on the property.

There is no assurance that a commercially viable ore deposit (if any) exists on the Getty Transvaal Property until further exploration work and a comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries and other factors conclude economic feasibility.

The Company has completed initial exploration work of its own on the Transvaal Property, including aerial photographic surveys and base map production, drilling, geochemical soil sampling, prospecting, geophysical surveys and geological mapping, at a cost to December 31, 2003 of $340,502.

Drilling

During 1996 and 1997, 11 diamond drill holes totalling 3,374 metres (11,046 ft) were drilled. Porphyry copper style mineralization was discovered in one of the holes and recommendations have been made for additional drilling in order to investigate the area further. No further drilling has been done since 1997.  The Company has not planned any further exploration on the property for 2004 as this property is subject to the HVC MOU.

(f)

Getty Northwest Property

The Getty Northwest Property is comprised of 142 mineral claims acquired by the Company by staking. These claims are subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty reserved in favour of Robak.

The Getty Northwest Property is in the early exploration stage, and there is insufficient data to establish whether proven or probable reserves exist on the property. There are no existing mines on the property. The Company has not planned any exploration on the property for 2003, and any plans to develop a new mine on the property would be based a full-scale feasibility study, if any, to determine the commercial feasibility of a mining operation on the property.  Except for mineral claims Getty 95 and 96,Getty 112-115 and Getty 1000-7000, as of December 19, 2003, 90% of the Getty Northwest property is subject to the HVC MOU.

Exploration History

The Company has completed initial exploration work of its own on the Getty Northwest Property, including aerial photographic surveys and base map production, drilling, geochemical soil sampling, prospecting, geophysical surveys and geological mapping, at a cost to December 31, 2003 of $1,730,130.

Drilling

During 1996, one exploratory diamond drill hole 254.4 metres (834 ft) was drilled, but no significant results were obtained.

There is no assurance that a commercially viable ore deposit exists on the Getty Northwest Property until further exploration work and a comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries and other factors conclude economic feasibility.  The Company has not planned any further exploration on the property for 2004 as 90% of this property is subject to the HVC MOU.



ITEM5

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

Citical Accounting Policies

Under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, corporate/administrative expenses are written off yearly and exploration and property acquisition expenses deferred (or capitalized). Such acquisition and exploration costs are written off where Getty seeks to abandon a property due to exploration program results which appear to warrant abandonment or when it appears the deferred costs may not be recoverable. Acquisition costs and exploration expenditures are financed through a combination of cash and common share issuances.



Overview

Getty is currently an expenditure-based organization whose business strategy is to acquire, explore and conduct detailed engineering and economic analysis of mineral deposits which have large tonnage and multi-year operation potential. None of Gettys currently held or to be acquired mineral deposits currently hosts a mineral resource that can be said to be economic at current metals prices.

Gettys financial statements are prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going concern. Given that Getty has no source of significant revenue this assumption is always subject to the further assumption that there will continue to be investment interest in funding large tonnage metal deposits which are not known to be economic in the current environment. Getty can give no assurance that it will continue to be able to raise sufficient funds and should it be unable to continue to do so, may be unable to realize on the carrying value of its resource project and the net realizable value could be materially less than Gettys liabilities with a potential for total loss to Getty shareholders.

Getty does not believe that it is significantly impacted by the effects of inflation and the Canadian dollar has fluctuated in a relatively narrow band to the United States dollar  (US$1.00: Cdn$1.31 to $1.55) during these three years. Getty has not been significantly affected by government economic, fiscal, monetary or political policies and the outlook for Gettys assets primarily relate to the outlook for gold and copper. For information relating to the historical prices for copper and gold, see Trend Information below.

Operating Results  Fiscal 2003 Compared with Fiscal 2002

At December 31, 2003, the Company registrant had working capital of $1,569,880 compared with working capital deficit approximately $91,736 December 31, 2002.  The positive change in working capital is due to a flow through private placement financing . A flow-through financing is a placement of shares (usually together with  share purchase warrants) for cash where the cash is ear-marked for exploration of a Canadian resource property. Under Canadian tax rules, Getty is able to flow-through the resource exploration expenses to the investors who in turn can deduct these expenses from their taxable Canadian income.  Except for the tax advantages, the flow through financing is essentially a conventional purchase of Getty common shares and warrants. As a consequence of flowing the value of these expenses through to investors, Getty can not add the expenses to its pool of tax deductible (as depletion) capital costs associated with the mineral property and hence will have smaller deductions should the property be eventually placed into commercial production.  Current liabilities at December 31, 2003 increased to $526,029 from $251,733 at December 31, 2002, this change is primarily due to the deferred payables of $193,629 becoming current.  Due to insufficient funds, legal, accounting and management fees continue to accrue in the current payables.

Net deferred exploration expenditures incurred during the year ended December 31, 2003 $94,955 compared to $15,871 spent during the year ended December 31, 2002.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company purchased a scanner, and cabinets, increasing its capital expenditures $1900.  Compared to $2,245 spent on a new computer in the year ending December 31, 2002.

Shareholder equity increased to $3,339,902 during the year ended December 31, 2003 from $286,608 December 31, 2002 due to a flow through private placement and the exercising of warrants.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1,080 up from $309 December 31, 2002.

During the year ended December 31, 2003 the registrant earned $2,242 rental income for a portion of office space located in Logan Lake, British Columbia, compared with $667 December 31, 2002, which was for only a few months.

Operating Results  Fiscal 2002 Compared with Fiscal 2001

December 31, 2002, the Company registrant had working capital deficit of $91,736 compared with working capital deficit approximately $562,918 December 31, 2001.   The reduction in the working capital deficit is due to two private placements and the exercising of warrants described as follows:

Current liabilities at December 31, 2002 decreased to $251,733 from $572,211 at December 31, 2001, as some of the debt was paid with funds raised from private placements during the year, as well as Related parties and certain creditors agreed to extend the terms of payment until June 3, 2004.

Net deferred exploration expenditures incurred during the year ended December 31, 2002 were $15,871 compared to $130,803 spent during the year ended December 31, 2001.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the company purchased a new computer increasing its capital expenditures $2,245.  No equipment had been purchased during the year ended December 31, 2001.

Shareholders equity increased to $286,608 during the year ended December 31, 2002 from $122,960 December 31, 2001, due to private placements and the exercising of warrants.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $309 down from $5,025 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

During the year ended December 31, 2002 the registrant earned $667 rental income for a portion of office space located in Logan Lake, British Columbia.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



At June 30, 2004 the companys cash position allows for the expenditures of $2,000,000 on mineral exploration planned in the calendar year 2004.  A recent private placement totaling $300,000 will provide general and administrative funds sufficient for the companys current requirements.  Additional working capital required for the fall of 2004 will be raised by further private placements.



During the year ended December 31, 2003, 1,000,000 warrants at $0.20 were exercised as well as 750,000 warrants at $0.22 raising $365,000.  On December 31, 2003 the company completed a flow through private placement of 3,100,000 flow-through units at a price of $0.65 per unit.  Each Flow-through Unit comprises of on flow-through common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant (two half-warrants) is exercisable to purchase an additional flow-through share at a price of $0.75 until December 30, 2005.

During November 2002 170,000 flow-through warrants were exercised, two warrants entitled the holder to acquire one common share at $.20 per share.  Thus, 85,000 flow-through shares were issued in exchange for the warrants for a total of $17,000.

During September 2002 the Registrant closed two private placements:

a)

3 million units at $0.10 per unit to five investors.  Each Unit comprised one common share and a one share purchase warrant which is exercisable to purchase an additional share at a price of $0.10 per unit to September 24,2003 and at $0.11 up to September 24, 2004.  The securities were subject to a four month hold period which expired on January 26, 2003.  Proceeds from the placement will be used for paying down debt, for working capital and for conducting exploration programs.

b)

2 million units at $0.05 per Unit to five investors.  Each Unit comprises one common share and a one share purchase warrant which is exercisable to purchase an additional share at a price of $0.10 for a one year period from the date of issuance.  The securities are subject to a one year hold period which will expire on September 27, 2003.  Proceeds from the placement will be used for paying down debt, for working capital and for conducting exploration programs.



Possible Unavailability of Additional Financing.

On December 31, 2003, the Company completed a brokered private placement of 3,100,000 units at $0.65 per unit for total proceeds of up to $2,015,000.  Each unit consists of one common share and one half warrant.  Each whole warrant is exercisable for a period of 2 years into Getty common stock at $0.75 per share.  Getty . paid a commission of 5% on cash total proceeds raised as well as 5% agent warrants exercisable for two years at $0.65 per share.

Overview

Historically Gettys sole source of funding was the sale of equity securities for cash primarily through private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. Getty also issued common share capital in each of these three years pursuant to private placement financings. Getty has no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

Fiscal 2003 Compared with Fiscal 2002

As at  March 31, 2004,the companys cash and short term investments was $2,026,496.

The Companys cash and short-term investments at December 31, 2003 were $2,083,922 compare to $124,518 at December 31, 2002. The increase is due to a $2,015,000 flow through private placement completed just before the 2003 year end.  Aside from cash and short-term investments, the Company has no material unused sources of liquidity.

Fiscal 2002 Compared with Fiscal 2001

As at March 31, 2003 The Company held cash and short-term investments of $44,407. Although the Company is in the process of seeking to raise financing to fund its plan of operation for 2003, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully raise additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all.  If funds are not available to fund the Companys operations, the Company anticipates it will curtail its exploration operations and focus its resources on maintaining the properties in good standing and on administrative functions until such time as mineral or capital markets improve to the extent that will allow the Company to obtain financing.

The Companys cash and short-term investments at December 31, 2002 were $124,518 compared to $1,436 December 31, 2001.Aside from cash and short-term investments, the Company has no material unused sources of liquidity.

Financial Instruments

Getty financed its activities from 1985 through 2002 primarily through the issuance of equity shares through private and public distributions. Certain of these financings were structured as flow through to provide a Canadian income tax incentive to make the securities more attractive. The Income Tax Act (Canada) provides certain incentives to encourage exploration on Canadian resource properties including the deductibility of a defined class of Canadian Exploration Expenses and Canadian Development Expenses which provide deductible pools of resource expenditures deductible against other sources of income. Getty keeps its financial instruments denominated in Canadian dollars and does not engage in any hedging operations with respect to currency or in-situ minerals. Funds which are currently excess to Gettys needs are invested in government of Canada or like debt obligations and other short term near cash investments pending the need for the funds.

Getty does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures and accordingly can remain relatively flexible in gearing its activities to the availability of funds. As of the fiscal 2003 year end Getty estimates that the cost of maintaining its corporate administrative activities at approximately $30,000 per month. Accordingly, Gettys management estimate that a minimum of $800,000 will be needed to maintain its corporate status and assets over the ensuing two-year period and Getty has current working capital at March 2004 of $1,504,406 which is not adequate to ensure continued viability over this period of time.

Research Expenditures

Getty is a resource expenditure based corporation and accordingly does not have a program of intellectual property development or patenting or licensing issues.

Trend Information

In 2004 the companys planned exploration program will deplete funds generated from the December 2003 flow through share private placement.  Increased exploration activity will result in higher general and administrative expenses during 2004 and will increase the loss to be reported for that fiscal period.

As a mineral exploration company Gettys activities are somewhat cyclical as metals prices have traditionally been cyclical in nature. The basic trend through the last several years for metal prices was negative, however, the recent gold price trend has been more positive. Copper is a commodity metal used extensively in the housing and automotive industries and accordingly, demand for copper varies directly with general economic conditions. Although Gettys management is not in a position to forecast economic trends, it is aware that as of April 2004 widely read business periodicals continue to predict a variety of economic conditions which indicate that a recovery in the price of copper or gold will in all likelihood be tied to the economy.  Gold prices have strengthened in early 2004 and some analysts have suggested that gold prices will continue to increase this year as the U.S. dollar weakens and new supplies dwindle.

The price of copper has significantly improved in 2004 as a result of increasing consumption and decreasing stocks.  Recent widely read business journals predict that metal prices in 2004 should continue at current levels due to simple supply and demand dynamics.

MAJORSHAREHOLDERSAND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A.

Major Shareholders

Gettys securities are recorded on the books of its transfer agent in registered form, however, the majority of such shares are registered in the name of intermediaries such as brokerage houses and clearing houses on behalf of their respective brokerage clients, and Getty does not have knowledge or access to information about of the beneficial owners thereof.  To the best of its knowledge, Getty is not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by a corporation or foreign government.  As of December 31, 2003, Getty had unlimited authorized common shares without par value of which 27,593,657 (April 21, 2004 27,718,657) were issued and outstanding.  As of April 21, 2004, the two registered holders who held 5% or more of the common shares of Getty are as follows, Robert Blankstein,(2,520,000), and John Lepinski, director (7,747,446) either directly or through companies that he owns and controls.



Beneficial owner - The term beneficial owner of securities refers to any person who, even if not the record owner of the securities, has or shares the underlying benefits of ownership.  These benefits include the power to direct the voting or the disposition of the securities or to receive the economic benefit of ownership of the securities.  A person also is considered to be the beneficial owner of securities that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days by option or other agreement.  Beneficial owners include persons who hold their securities through one or more trustees, brokers, agents, legal representatives or other intermediaries, or through companies in which they have a controlling interest, which means the direct or indirect power to direct the management and policies of the entity.

The companys major shareholders do not have different voting rights from other holders of the companys common shares  see item 7.a.1(c)]

As of April 21, 2004, directors and officers of Getty,  as a group (5 persons) owned or controlled an aggregate of 9,525,112 shares (33.4%) of Getty.

Under the British Columbia Securities Act,insiders (generally officers, directors, holders of 10% or more of Gettys shares) are required to file insider reports of changes in their ownership in the first 10 days of the month following a trade in Gettys securities.  Copies of such reports are available for public inspection at the offices of the British Columbia Securities Commission, Suite 200 - 865 Hornby Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 2H4 (phone (604) 899-6500) or at the British Columbia Securities Commission web site (www.bcsc.bc.ca).

As of April 22, 2004 there were 229 registered shareholders of record holding a total of 27,718,157 common shares of Getty.  To the best of Gettys knowledge there were 82 registered shareholders of record with registered addresses in Canada, 59 shareholders of record with registered addresses in the United States and 88 shareholders of record with registered addresses in other countries holding approximately 26,873,288 (96.95%) ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­287,625 (1.04%) and 557,744 (2.01%) of the outstanding common shares, respectively.  Shares registered in intermediaries were assumed to be held by residents of the same country in which the clearing house was located.

Related Party Transactions

No director or senior officer, and no associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, and no insider has or has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any other transactions, or in any other proposed transaction, which in either such case has materially affected or will materially affect Getty or its predecessors during the year ended December 31, 2003, except on December 9, 2002, the Corporation held a Special Meeting whereby the shareholders approved an ordinary resolution of disinterested shareholders authorizing a proposed agreement between the Corporation and Robak Industries Ltd. to acquire the Getty South property (as to 50%) and 100 % of the Southwest and Central mineral claims (each subject to a 1.5% NSR) for a total of 12.0 million (pre-reversed-split) fully paid common shares.   The transaction received TSX Venture Exchange approval on March 7, 2003 and details of the transaction can be reviewed in the management proxy circular prepared for the December 9, 2002 meeting which is publicly accessible at www.sedar.com.



On July 6, 2004, the board of directors of Getty announced that it recently became aware of information that has caused it to re-examine a related party transaction entered into by the Company in 2002 with a company controlled by a director and officer of the Company.



On November 8, 2002 pursuant to a Mineral Property Interest Sale Agreement (MPISA) the Company agreed to acquire interests in certain mineral properties from Robak Industries Ltd., a company controlled by John Lepinski. Mr. Lepinski was a director and officer of the Company in 2002 and remains such. Mr. Lepinski was also a shareholder in the Company through related companies, including Robak, in 2002 and remains such. Pursuant to the MPISA, Robak agreed to transfer 100% interest in two satellite properties and 50% of the Getty South property to the Company.  In exchange, Robak received 12,000,000 (6,000,000 post-consolidation) shares and a 1.5% Net Smelter Return (NSR). The MPISA also required the Company to carry Robaks 50% interest to production (the carried interest provision).



In order to address the related party issues of the MPISA, the Company retained an independent mineral property evaluator, Ross Glanville & Associates Ltd. (Glanville) to prepare a valuation and fairness opinion in furtherance of the acquisition of 50% of Getty South property by Getty from Robak (the October 2002 Opinion). The October 2002 Opinion determined that it was fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of Getty for it to issue 12 million of its shares (pre-consolidation) in exchange for a 50% interest in Getty South and 100% interest in the two satellite properties. At a Special Meeting of shareholders of the Company held December 9, 2002, the disinterested shareholders approved the acquisition of 50% of Getty South from Robak.



In 2004, as a result of the Companys invitation, Robak presented the Company with the opportunity to acquire the remaining 50% interest in Getty South. In accordance with appropriate corporate governance procedures, the Board commissioned Glanville to prepare another valuation and fairness opinion on the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Getty South property (the May 2004 Valuation). During the course of his review of material in support of the May 2004 Valuation, Glanville reported that he had become aware of resource information material to his October 2002 Opinion that he did not have at the time he prepared the October 2002 Opinion.



The October 2002 Opinion was based on a prior inferred resource estimate of 36 million tonnes of 0.47% Cu.  After reviewing the resource information, which Glanville concluded casts doubt on that estimate, it is now Glanvilles opinion that a 100% interest in the Getty South property (excluding the value of the satellite properties and subject to the 1.5% NSR) is $1.65 million; and taking into consideration the carried interest provision in the MPISA, which had not been considered in the October 2002 Opinion, of this amount, Glanville apportions $1.55 million of the total to Robaks 50% interest and $100,000 to the Companys 50% interest.  Glanville attributes the reduction in the value of 100% of Getty South from $5.0 million in October 2002 to $1.75 million in May 2004 to the effect of the carried interest provision and the resource information not taken into consideration by him in October 2002.  As part of the new valuation, and in light of the resource information that he concluded cast doubt on the prior inferred resource estimate, Glanville re-valued the prior exploration expenditures of $5.5 million, which he reduced from of $4.76 million to $1.70 million, and applied a higher discount rate to the calculated adjusted present value.



The Company has retained independent outside legal counsel, and the Board intends to seek additional technical advice regarding the valuations and is currently reviewing the facts relating to the Getty South transaction and may be seeking further technical advice, and will advise the market as material information becomes available.



The Company considers the Getty North property to be its primary exploration target and is the property on which the Company is expending most of its resources. Teck Cominco, on behalf of Highland Valley Copper, is conducting an exploration program on other Getty property under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding with Highland Valley Copper. The Company has not conducted any exploration activity on the 50% interest in the Getty South property since it was acquired from Robak, nor is it required to do so in the future under the terms of the MPISA. This review of the acquisition of the Getty South property does not affect the Companys ownership in any of its other assets including the Getty North, Getty Central, Getty Southwest or Transvaal properties, or the Companys Memorandum of Understanding with Highland Valley Copper.



The Board of Directors has appointed a Committee consisting of two directors, Mr. Pat Raleigh, P.Eng. and Mr. Robert C. Gardner, Q.C.  to negotiate with Robak Industries Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. John Lepinski, with respect to the above mentioned matters.



Dr. Preto, a qualified person under National Policy 43-101, has served as the companys, COO, and has been directing the companys 2004, diamond drill and exploration programs as announced by the company on June 7th, 2004.  The work and exploration programs, which commenced May 25th, 2004 on the companys, Getty North Highland Valley Property located in Kamloops, British Columbia, will consist of a minimum of 10 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 2500 meters.  Geochemical and Geophysical analysis will also be conducted on this property.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A.

Share Capital



Gettys share capital consists of one class only, namely common shares without par value, of which an unlimited number of shares are authorized and 27,718,657 common shares without par value are issued and outstanding as of  July 12th.  The accompanying audited financial statements provide details of all share issuance effected by Getty in the issue price per share for the four previous fiscal years.  There are no shares of Getty which are held by or on behalf of Getty.  There was a share consolidation on March 7, 2003, on a two old for one new basis.  There were no other changes in the classification of common shares (reclassifications, consolidations, reverse splits or the like) within the previous five years.  All common shares of Getty rank pari passu for the payment of any dividends and distributions in the event of a windup.



B.

Memorandum and Articles of Association

Gettys Articles of Incorporation are registered with Industry Canada under Certificate No. 197635-1 under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA).

Objects and Purposes

Gettys Restated Articles of Incorporation do not specify objects or purposes.

Directors Powers and Limitations

Gettys Articles of Incorporation specify that there will be a minimum of three and a maximum of seven directors.  Under Gettys Articles of Incorporation the directors are entitled between successive annual general meetings to appoint one or more additional directors but not more than one-third of the number of directors actually elected at the preceding annual meeting.  Directors automatically retire at the commencement of each annual meeting subject to being re-elected.

Although Gettys directors and officers have various fiduciary obligations to the Corporation, situations may arise where the interests of the directors and officers could conflict with those of the Company.  The potential conflicts of interest arise as a result of common ownership and certain common directors, officers, and personnel of the Company and their associates and affiliates.  These conflicts are normally resolved in accordance with the CBCA (in the case of the Corporation) which requires disclosures of conflicts at meetings of the directors held for the purposes, inter alia, of acquiring assets or dealing in assets in which directors have an interest.  These directors are then prevented from voting on any resolution passed by the Board with respect to any such acquisition or dealing.

The CBCA, however, provides that directors who have an interest in the transaction or matter can vote on any resolution if the contract they are approving is an arrangement by way of security for money lent or obligations undertaken by the director for the benefit of the Company, relating to the remuneration of the director, relating to indemnities or insurance for directors or a contract with an affiliate.

The directors and officers of the Company are both by statute and at common law, required to act fairly and in the best interest of the Company and are not permitted to breach this fiduciary duty for their own benefit.

While the Company does not anticipate making any loans to directors, officers or affiliates, if such a need should arise, no future loans will be made to such persons absent a bona fide, and independent business purpose.

Shareholders Meetings

Under the CBCA, Gettys directors must call an annual meeting of shareholders not later than 15 months after holding the last preceding annual meeting and may at any time call a special meeting of shareholders.

For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of a meeting of shareholders, the directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for such determination, but such record date shall not proceed by more than 50 days or by less than 21 days the date on which the meeting is to be held.

Under the CBCA, notice of the time and place of a meeting of shareholders shall be sent not less than 21 days nor more than 50 days before the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting.  A National Policy Statement of the Canadian Securities Regulators extends the date by which notice must be given to shareholders.  Under that National Policy Statement an advance notice of annual meeting must be published 60 days before the date of such annual meeting.  As well, the National Policy Statement requires that meeting materials be sent to registered holders approximately 35 days before the meeting date, so that such registered holders can forward the materials to beneficial holders.

Common Shares

The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.  There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors.  Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election.  Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding Preferred Shares, the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors from time to time out of legally available funds.  Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Shares are entitled to share rateably in all assets of the Company that are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities.  The holders of Common Shares have no redemption or conversion rights.  The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Shares are subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Shares that the Company may issue in the future.

Redemption

Getty has no redeemable securities authorized or issued.

Pre-emptive Rights

There are no pre-emptive rights applicable to Getty which provide a right to any person to participate in offerings of Gettys securities

Liquidation

All common shares of Getty participate rateably in any available assets in the event of a winding up or other liquidation.

No Limitation on Foreign Ownership

There are no limitations under Gettys Articles or in the CBCA on the right of persons who are not citizens of Canada to hold or vote common shares.  (See also Exchange Controls  below.)

Dividends

Dividends may be declared by the Board out of available assets and are paid rateably to holders of common shares.  No dividend may be paid if Getty is, or would thereby become, insolvent.

Voting Rights

Each Getty share is entitled to one vote on matters to which common shares ordinarily vote including the election of directors, appointment of auditors and approval of corporate changes and other matters requiring shareholder approval.

Change in Control

Getty has not implemented any shareholders rights or other poison pill protection against possible take-overs.  Getty does not have any agreements which are triggered by a take-over or other change of control.  There are no provisions in its articles triggered by or affected by a change in outstanding shares which gives rise to a change in control.

Share Ownership Reporting

The articles of Getty do not require disclosure of share ownership.  Share ownership of director nominees must be reported annually in proxy materials sent to Gettys shareholders.  There are no requirements under British Columbia corporate law to report ownership of shares of Getty but the British Columbia Securities Act requires disclosure of trading by insiders including holders of 10% of voting shares within 10 days of the trade.  Controlling shareholders (generally those in excess of 20% of outstanding shares) must provide seven days advance notice of share sales.

6.

D.

Exchange Controls

Getty is a Canadian Company.  There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of Common Shares, other than withholding tax requirements.  Any such remittances to United States residents are generally subject to withholding tax.  See Taxation, below.

There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Canada or by the charter or other constituent documents of Getty on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote the Common Shares, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act (Canada) (the Investment Act).  The following discussion summarizes the material features of the Investment Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire a controlling number of Common Shares.  It is general only, it is not a substitute for independent advice from an investors own advisor, and it does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments.  Getty does not believe the Investment Act will have any affect on it or on its non-Canadian shareholders due to a number of factors including the nature of its operations and Gettys relatively small capitalization.

The Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture (each an entity) that is not a Canadian as defined in the Investment Act (a non-Canadian), unless after review the Director of Investments appointed by the minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  The size and nature of a proposed transaction may give rise to an obligation to notify the Director to seek an advance ruling.  An investment in the Common Shares by a non-Canadian other than a WTO Investor (as that term is defined in the Investment Act and which term includes entities which are nationals of or are controlled by nationals of member states of the World Trade Organization) when Getty was not controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control of Getty and the value of the assets of Getty, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Act, was $5 million or more, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment related to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity, regardless of the value of the assets of Getty. An investment in the Common Shares by a WTO Investor, or by a non-Canadian when Getty was controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control of Getty and the value of the assets of Getty, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Act, was not less than a specified amount, which for 2001 exceeds Cdn$192 million.  A non-Canadian would acquire control of Getty for the purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the Common Shares.  The acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the Common Shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of Getty unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, Getty was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of the Common Shares.

The foregoing assumes Getty will not engage in the production of uranium or own an interest in a producing uranium property in Canada, or provide any financial service or transportation service, as the rules governing these businesses are different.

Certain transactions relating to the Common Shares would be exempt from the Investment Act, including

a)

an acquisition of the Common Shares by a person in the ordinary course of that persons business as a trader or dealer in securities,

b)

an acquisition of control of Getty in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Act, and

c)

an acquisition of control of Getty by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of Getty, through the ownership of the Common Shares, remained unchanged.

Taxation

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

The discussion under this heading summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of common stock of Getty for a shareholder of Getty who is not a resident of Canada but is a resident of the United States and who will acquire and hold shares of common stock of Getty as capital property for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the Canadian Tax Act).  This summary does not apply to a shareholder who carries on business in Canada through a permanent establishment situated in Canada or performs independent personal services in Canada through a fixed base in Canada if the shareholders holding in Getty is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base.  This summary is based on the provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder and on an understanding of the administrative practices of Canada Revenue Agency, and takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act or regulations made by the Minister of Finance of Canada as of the date hereof.  It has been assumed that there will be no other relevant amendment of any governing law although no assurance can be given in this respect.  This discussion is general only and is not, nor is it intended to provide a detailed analysis of the income tax implications of any particular shareholders interest.  Investors are advised to obtain independent advice from a shareholders own Canadian and U.S. tax advisors with respect to income tax implications pertinent to their particular circumstances.

The provisions of the Canadian Tax Act are subject to income tax treaties to which Canada is a party, including the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the Convention).

Dividends on Common Shares and Other Income

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is generally subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25 percent on dividends paid or deemed to have been paid to him or her by a corporation resident in Canada.  Getty is responsible for withholding of tax at the source.  The Convention limits the rate to 15 percent if the shareholder is a resident of the United States and the dividends are beneficially owned by and paid to such shareholder, and to 5 percent if the shareholder is also a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10 percent of the voting stock of the payor corporation.

The amount of a stock dividend (for tax purposes) would generally be equal to the amount by which the paid up or stated capital of Getty had increased by reason of the payment of such dividend.  Getty will furnish additional tax information to shareholders in the event of such a dividend.  Interest paid or deemed to be paid on Gettys debt securities held by non-Canadian residents may also be subject to Canadian withholding tax, depending upon the terms and provisions of such securities and any applicable tax treaty.

The Convention generally exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is a resident of the United States and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States.

Dispositions of Common Shares

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a taxpayers capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of common stock of Getty is the amount, if any, by which his or her proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the aggregate of his or her adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition.  The capital gain or loss must be computed in Canadian currency using a weighted average adjusted cost base for identical properties.  The capital gains net of losses included in income are as follows.  As of October 17, 2000 the gains net of losses included after October 17, 2000, as to 50%.  There are special transitional rules to apply capital losses against capital gains that arose in different periods.  The amount by which a shareholders capital loss exceeds the capital gain in a year may be deducted from a capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous years or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains, and may deduct allowable capital losses, realized on a disposition of "taxable Canadian property."  Shares of common stock of Getty will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if the shareholder used the shares in carrying on business in Canada, or if at any time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series in the capital stock of Getty belonged to one or more persons in a group comprising the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder did not deal at arms length and in certain other circumstances.

The Convention relieves United States residents from liability for Canadian tax on capital gains derived on a disposition of shares unless

(a)

the value of the shares is derived principally from real property in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production,

(b)

the shareholder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he or she ceased to be resident in Canada, or

(c)

the shares formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

United States Tax Consequences

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is, in the opinion of Getty after consultation with its professional advisors, a discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as hereinafter defined) of common shares of Getty.  This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder.  In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences.  (see Taxation  Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences above).  Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of common shares of Getty  are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the specific federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of Getty, based upon their individual circumstances.

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations.  This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a U.S. Holder means a holder of common shares of Getty who is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, an entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof which has elected to be treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes (under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3), an estate whose income is taxable in the United States irrespective of source or a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and control of a United States fiduciary as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services. This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets and who own (directly and indirectly, pursuant to applicable rules of constructive ownership) no more than 5% of the value of the total outstanding stock of Getty.  This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares.  In addition, this summary does not address special rules applicable to United States persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) holding common shares through a foreign partnership or to foreign persons holding common shares through a domestic partnership.

Distribution on Common Shares of Getty

In general, U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares of Getty are required to include in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions, equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that Getty has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holders federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holders federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions.  (See more detailed discussion at Foreign Tax Credit below).  To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of Getty, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holders adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of property.  Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder which is a corporation.

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt.  Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss.  However, an individual whose realized gain does not exceed $200 will not recognize that gain, provided that there are no expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirements for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip) or as an expense for the production of income.

Dividends paid on the common shares of Getty generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.  A U.S. Holder which is a corporation and which owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of Getty may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% (or 80% if the U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 20% of the voting power and value of Getty) deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from Getty (unless Getty qualifies as a foreign personal holding company or a passive foreign investment company, as defined below).  Getty does not anticipate that it will earn any United States income, however, and therefore does not anticipate that any U.S. Holder will be eligible for the dividends received deduction.

Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid on Gettys common shares, if any, generally will not be subject to information reporting and generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax.  However, dividends and the proceeds from a sale of Gettys common shares paid in the U.S. through a U.S. or U.S. related paying agent (including a broker) will be subject to U.S. information reporting requirements and may also be subject to the 28% U.S. backup withholding tax for 2004, unless the paying agent is furnished with a duly completed and signed Form W-9.  Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of Getty may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld.  Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayers income subject to tax.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year.  There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holders United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holders foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income.  In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources.  Complex rules govern this classification process.  In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income such as passive income,  high withholding tax interest, financial services income, shipping income, and certain other classifications of income.  Dividends distributed by Getty will generally constitute passive income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, financial services income for these purposes.  The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific, and U.S. Holders of common shares of Getty should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Disposition of Common Shares of Getty

In general, U.S. Holders will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of common shares of Getty equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholders tax basis in the common shares of Getty.  Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders which are individuals, estates or trusts.  In general, gain or loss on the sale of common shares of Getty will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder and are held for more than one year.  Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations.  For U.S. Holders which are not corporations, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.  For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.

Other Considerations

Set forth below are certain material exceptions to the above-described general rules describing the United States federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares:

Foreign Personal Holding Company

If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of Gettys outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly (pursuant to applicable rules of constructive ownership), by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% or more of Gettys gross income for such year is derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from certain interest and dividends), Getty may be treated as a foreign personal holding company. In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares would be required to include in gross income for such year their allocable portions of such passive income to the extent Getty does not actually distribute such income.  Getty does not believe that it currently qualifies as a foreign personal holding company.  However, there can be no assurance that Getty will not be considered a foreign personal holding company for the current or any future taxable year.

Foreign Investment Company

If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of Gettys outstanding shares is held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by  Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and Getty is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that Getty may be treated as a foreign investment company as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging common shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain. Getty does not believe that it currently qualifies as a foreign investment company.  However, there can be no assurance that Getty will not be considered a foreign investment company for the current or any future taxable year.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

United States income tax law contains rules governing passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) which can have significant tax effects on U.S. Holders of foreign corporations.  These rules do not apply to non-U.S. Holders.  Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States if, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if the corporation is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income is 50% or more. Getty appears to have been a PFIC for the fiscal year ended December 31,  2004, and at least certain prior fiscal years.  In addition, Getty expects to qualify as a PFIC for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2005 and may also qualify as a PFIC in future fiscal years.  Each U.S. Holder of Getty is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect such U.S. Holders tax situation.

Each U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to United States federal income taxation under one of three alternative tax regimes at the election of such U.S. Holder.  The following is a discussion of such alternative tax regimes applied to such U.S. Holders of Getty.  In addition, special rules apply if a foreign corporation qualifies as both a PFIC and a controlled foreign corporation (as defined below) and a U.S. Holder owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of such foreign corporation (See more detailed discussion at Controlled Foreign Corporation below).

A U.S. Holder who elects to treat Getty as a qualified electing fund (QEF) will be subject, under Section 1293 of the Code, to current federal income tax for any taxable year to which the election applies in which Getty qualifies as a PFIC on his pro rata share of Gettys (i) net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain, and (ii) ordinary earnings (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income, in each case, for the shareholders taxable year in which (or with which) Gettys taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed. A U.S. Holders tax basis in the common shares will be increased by any such amount that is included in income but not distributed.

The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making an effective QEF election, and the consequences of such election, will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holders holding period in which Getty is a PFIC.  If the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in such first year, i.e., a timely QEF election, then the U.S. Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the U.S. Holder files his tax return for such first year.  If, however, Getty qualified as a PFIC in a prior year during the U.S. Holders holding period, then, in order to avoid the Section 1291 rules discussed below, in addition to filing documents, the U.S. Holder must elect to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code (discussed herein), (i) any gain that he would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold his stock on the qualification date or (ii) if Getty is a controlled foreign corporation, the U.S. Holders pro rata share of Gettys post-1986 earnings and profits as of the qualification date. The qualification date is the first day of Gettys first tax year in which Getty qualified as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder.  For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. Holder who makes (i) a timely QEF election, or (ii) an untimely QEF election and either of the above-described gain-recognition elections under Section 1291 is referred to herein as an Electing U.S. Holder.  A U.S. Holder who holds common shares at any time during a year of Getty in which Getty is a PFIC and who is not an Electing U.S. Holder (including a U.S. Holder who makes an untimely QEF election and makes neither of the above-described gain-recognition elections) is referred to herein as a Non-Electing U.S. Holder. An Electing U.S. Holder (i) generally treats any gain realized on the disposition of his Company common shares as capital gain; and (ii) may either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of Gettys annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge. If the U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any interest charge imposed under the PFIC regime would be treated as personal interest that is not deductible.

In order for a U.S. Holder to make (or maintain) a valid QEF election, Getty must provide certain information regarding its net capital gains and ordinary earnings and permit its books and records to be examined to verify such information. Getty intends to make the necessary information available to U.S. Holders to permit them to make (and maintain) QEF elections with respect to Getty. Getty urges each U.S. Holder to consult a tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, the QEF election.

A QEF election, once made with respect to Getty, applies to the tax year for which it was made and to all subsequent tax years, unless the election is invalidated or terminated, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election. If a QEF election is made by a U.S. Holder and Getty ceases to qualify as a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF election will remain in effect, although not applicable, during those tax years in which Getty does not qualify as a PFIC. Therefore, if Getty again qualifies as a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules described above for Electing U.S. Holders in such tax year and any subsequent tax years in which Getty qualifies as a PFIC. In addition, the QEF election remains in effect, although not applicable, with respect to an Electing U.S. Holder even after such U.S. Holder disposes of all of his or its direct and indirect interest in the shares of Getty. Therefore, if such U.S. Holder reacquires an interest in Getty, that U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules described above for Electing U.S. Holders for each tax year in which Getty qualifies as a PFIC.

In the case of a Non-Electing U.S. Holder, special taxation rules under Section 1291 of the Code will apply to (i) gains realized on the disposition (or deemed to be realized by reasons of a pledge) of his Getty common shares and (ii) certain excess distributions, as defined in Section 1291(b), by Getty.

A Non-Electing U.S. Holder generally would be required to pro rate all gains realized on the disposition of his Getty common shares and all excess distributions on his Getty common shares over the entire holding period for the common shares. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of the U.S. Holder (excluding any portion of the holders period prior to the first day of the first year of Getty (i) which began after December 31, 1986, and (ii) for which Getty was a PFIC) would be taxed at the highest tax rate for each such prior year applicable to ordinary income. The Non-Electing U.S. Holder also would be liable for interest on the foregoing tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat this interest charge as personal interest which, as discussed above, is wholly non-deductible. The balance, if any, of the gain or the excess distribution will be treated as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or distribution, and no interest charge will be incurred with respect to such balance. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the PFIC interest charge may exceed the amount of the excess distribution received, or the amount of proceeds of disposition realized, by the U.S. Holder.

If Getty is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds Getty common shares, then Getty will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Getty common shares, even if it is no longer definitionally a PFIC. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules discussed above for Non-Electing U.S. Holders) as if such Getty common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which it was a PFIC.

Effective for tax years of U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market annually (a mark-to-market election). If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 discussed above. However, if the mark-to-market election is made by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to Getty common shares. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to-market election will include in income for each taxable year for which the election is in effect an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares of Getty as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holders adjusted basis in such common shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the common shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the common shares in Getty included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been treated as a mark-to-market gain for any prior tax year but for the Section 1291 rules discussed above with respect to Non-Electing U.S. Holders, over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the common shares of Getty will be adjusted to reflect the amount included in or deducted from income as a result of a mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election applies to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each subsequent taxable year, unless Getty common shares cease to be marketable, as specifically defined, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election. Because the IRS has not established procedures for making a mark-to-market election, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the manner of making such an election. No view is expressed regarding whether common shares of Getty are marketable for these purposes or whether the election will be available.

Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued Proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by Non-Electing U.S. Holders that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases the basis of Getty common shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those common shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. Under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, an Electing U.S. Holder would not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. The transferees basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer. In the case of a transfer by an Electing U.S. Holder upon death, for example, the transferees basis is generally equal to the fair market value of the Electing U.S. Holders common shares as of the date of death under Section 1014 of the Code. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the common shares are transferred. Each U.S. Holder of Getty is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect his or its tax situation.

Whether or not a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election with respect to common shares of Getty, certain adverse rules may apply in the event that both Getty and any foreign corporation in which Getty directly or indirectly holds shares is a PFIC (a lower-tier PFIC). Pursuant to certain Proposed Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder would be treated as owning his or its proportionate amount of any lower-tier PFIC shares, and generally would be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such indirectly-held PFIC shares unless such U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election with respect thereto. Getty intends to make the necessary information available to U.S. Holders to permit them to make (and maintain) QEF elections with respect to each subsidiary of Getty that is a PFIC.

Under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF election with respect to a lower-tier PFIC generally would be subject to tax (and the PFIC interest charge) on (i) any excess distribution deemed to have been received with respect to his or its lower-tier PFIC shares and (ii) any gain deemed to arise from a so-called indirect disposition of such shares. For this purpose, an indirect disposition of lower-tier PFIC shares would generally include (i) a disposition by Getty (or an intermediate entity) of lower-tier PFIC shares, and (ii) any other transaction resulting in a diminution of the U.S. Holders proportionate ownership of the lower-tier PFIC, including an issuance of additional common shares by Getty (or an intermediate entity). Accordingly, each prospective U.S. Holder should be aware that he or it could be subject to tax even if such U.S. Holder receives no distributions from Getty and does not dispose of its common shares. Getty strongly urges each prospective U.S. Holder to consult a tax advisor with respect to the adverse rules applicable, under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, to U.S. Holders of lower-tier PFIC shares.

Certain special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to Getty common shares while Getty is a PFIC unless the U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election. For example under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such shares.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote or the total value of the shares of Getty is owned, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporation, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Section 7701(a)(31)), each of which own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote of Getty (United States Shareholder), Getty could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would effect many complex results, one of which is the inclusion of certain income of a CFC which is subject to current U.S. tax. The United States generally taxes United States Shareholders of a CFC currently on their pro rata shares of the Subpart F income of the CFC. Such United States Shareholders are generally treated as having received a current distribution out of the CFCs Subpart F income and are also subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of increases in the CFCs earnings invested in U.S. property. The foreign tax credit described above may reduce the U.S. tax on these amounts. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder of common shares of Getty which is or was a United States Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of Getty attributable to the shares sold or exchanged. If a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC, the foreign corporation generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States Shareholders of the CFC. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of United States Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for taxable years of foreign corporations ending with or within such taxable years of United States Shareholders. Special rules apply to United States Shareholders who are subject to the special taxation rules under Section 1291 discussed above with respect to a PFIC. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion. Getty does not believe that it currently qualifies as a CFC. However, there can be no assurance that Getty will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

(a)

Transaction Risk and currency Risk Management

Gettys operations do not employ financial instruments or derivatives which are market sensitive and Getty does not have financial market risks.

(b)

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Gettys operations are in Canada and hence it is not significantly affected by exchange rate risk. Its liabilities are all denominated in Canadian dollars.

(c)

Interest Rate Risk and Equity Price Risk

Getty is equity financed. The only debt subject to interest rate change risks is the Mortgage on the office building and warehouse. The mortgage is with the vendor ($100,838 @ 7.5%).

(d)

Commodity Price Risk

While the value of Gettys resource properties can always be said to relate to the price of gold and copper and the outlook for same, Getty does not have any operating mines nor economic ore and hence does not have any hedging or other commodity based risks respecting its operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003, being the date of the Companys most recently completed fiscal year.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



During the Companys most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant;and



(3)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

To the Shareholders of

Getty Copper Inc.



We have audited the balance sheets of Getty Copper Inc. (formerly Getty Copper Corp.) as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2003.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



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



In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its activities and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2003 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

GETTY COPPER INC.

(FORMERLY GETTY COPPER CORP.)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2003

(In Canadian Dollars)



1.

General information



The company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.  In addition, the company is dependent upon external sources of financing in order to fund the exploration and development of its mineral properties.  The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties and the ability of the company to meet its obligations is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral properties and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.



Of the cash and short-term investments held at December 31, 2003, $2,015,000 is required to be expended on exploration in accordance with the December 31, 2003 flow through share issue.  The company has an urgent need for equity capital and financing for working capital requirements.  The company is not in a position to discharge its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of business.



Effective March 7, 2003 the company changed its name from Getty Copper Corp. to Getty Copper Inc.



2.

Significant accounting policies



These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada applicable to a going-concern which do not differ from those established in the United States, except as described in note 13.  The financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the company be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business.



a)

Mineral properties



Costs of acquisition and exploration and development expenditures are allocated to specific groups of mineral claims as work is performed on or for the benefit of those claims and are capitalized until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral claims are either developed, sold, or abandoned.  If there is an indication of impairment the mineral properties are written down to the estimated net recoverable amount.  The company does not accrue the estimated future cost of maintaining, in good standing, its mineral properties.



Capitalized costs are amortized over the useful life of the properties upon commencement of commercial production, or written off if the properties are sold or abandoned.



b)

Administrative costs



Administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

Significant accounting policies - continued



c)

Property, building and equipment



Property, building and equipment are recorded at cost.  Amortization is provided on the declining balance basis at the following annual rates:



Automotive equipment

30%

Building

4%

Computer equipment

30%

Computer software

100%

Office equipment

d)

Stock option plan



The company records compensation expense when stock or stock options are issued to employees.  Prior to 2002, no compensation expense was recorded when stock or stock options were issued to employees.  The change in accounting policy was applied prospectively.



e)

Future income taxes



The company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year.  Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities and for unused tax losses.  Future income tax assets are recorded in the financial statements if realization is considered more likely than not.



f)

Exploration tax credits



Exploration tax credits are recorded as a reduction in exploration costs.



g)

Flow-through financing



The company has issued flow-through shares, which transfer the tax deductibility of exploration expenditures to the investors.  Proceeds received on the issue of such shares is credited to share capital and the related exploration costs is charged to mineral properties.  The future income tax liability arising from the transfer of the tax deductibility of exploration expenditures is recorded as a share issue cost.



h)

Use of estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the valuation of its mineral properties and the determination of useful lives of property, building and equipment for purposes of calculating amortization.

Exploration tax credits included in exploration costs during 2003 amounted to $1,111 (2002 - $24,404).



The mineral claims are located within the Highland Valley, British Columbia mining district and cover an area in excess of 200 square kilometres.



The Getty mineral claims are subject to a 1-1/2% net smelter return royalty in favour of Robak Industries Ltd. ("Robak"), which is controlled by a director of the company.



The company originally acquired a 50% interest in the Getty Central, Getty South and Getty Southwest mineral claims from Robak under certain terms which were not met.  On November 8, 2002 the company and Robak terminated the original agreement and entered into an agreement for the company to acquire a 100% interest in the Getty Central and Getty Southwest and a 50% interest in the Getty South mineral claims from Robak in exchange for 6,000,000 common shares of the company at a deemed value of $1,200,000, an agreement by the company to pay 100% of the costs to place the Getty South mineral claims into production, and a 1-1/2% net smelter royalty in favour of Robak.  The purchase was recorded at the estimated fair market value of the interest in the mineral claims acquired.

Mineral properties - continued



The Transvaal mineral claims were acquired by an option agreement with Genco Resources Inc. (formerly Globe Resources Inc.) which expired on October 15, 2003.  Getty Copper Inc. has entered into an agreement in principle to acquire the Transvaal mineral claims from Genco Resources Inc.  The agreement is subject to an independent fairness opinion on the proposed purchase price of $300,000 to be paid by issuing Getty Copper Inc.'s stock at a deemed price of $0.60 per share and is subject to regulatory approval.



On December 19, 2003 the company and Genco Resources Inc. entered into a memorandum of understanding with Highland Valley Copper Corporation ("HVC") for it to earn an interest in certain of Getty Copper Inc.'s mineral properties and to form a joint venture if certain conditions are met.  The memorandum of understanding allows HVC to explore and develop certain mineral properties.  Under the terms of the memorandum HVC will have the right to earn an initial 51% interest in the mineral claims by spending an aggregate of $5 million by December 31, 2006, under the following schedule:



$1,350,000 by December 31, 2004

$3,000,000 by December 31, 2005

$5,000,000 by December 31, 2006



Upon earning its initial interest, HVC will have the right to earn a further 19% interest (for a 70% interest) by expending a further $10 million and completing a feasibility study over the next four years.  If HVC elects not to expend the additional $10 million and complete a feasibility study, its interest in the property will revert to a 45% participating interest if at least $10 million is expended and a joint venture will be established with Getty Copper Inc. having a 55% interest and being the operator.  If less than $10 million is expended Getty Copper Inc.'s interest in the joint venture will be 65% providing at least $5 million has been expended.  Under the terms of the memorandum, if HVC proceeds with a production plan, it will either arrange project financing for at least 65% of the capital costs or extend and offer, on acceptable commercial terms, to lend Getty Copper Inc. 65% of its portion of the capital costs to place the project into commercial production.  Each company will contribute its pro rata share of the equity required on a 70% HVC:  30% Getty Copper Inc. basis.



The company is pursuing approaches to further develop its mineral properties.  Although it is uncertain whether the company will determine that it has economically recoverable reserves and whether it will be able to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral properties the company believes that it may be able to economically develop the mineral properties.  However, Canadian generally accepted accounting principles require that development costs related to mineral properties be written down for impairment unless there is persuasive evidence that impairment has not occurred.  Accordingly, during the period ended December 31, 2001 the company recorded a provision for impairment of its exploration costs in the amount of $9,403,817 and of claims acquisition costs of $13,910.

Share capital - continued



Effective March 7, 2003 the issued and outstanding common shares of the company were consolidated on the basis of two common shares into one common share.



During 2002 the company issued 85,000 common shares at $0.20 per share upon the exercise of previously outstanding share purchase warrants.  The balance of the previously outstanding share purchase warrants expired November 20, 2002.



During 2002 the company issued 2,000,000 units at $0.05 per unit.  Each unit included one common share and one share purchase warrant which entitled the holder to purchase an additional common share.  After consolidation 1,000,000 warrants remained outstanding entitling the holder to purchase a common share at $0.20 up to September 26, 2003.  During 2003, all of the warrants were exercised.



During 2002 the company issued 3,000,000 units at $0.10 per unit.  Each unit included one common share and one share purchase warrant which entitled the holder to purchase an additional share.  After consolidation, 1,500,000 warrants remained outstanding entitling the holder to purchase a common share at $0.22 up to September 24, 2004.  During 2003, 750,000 of these warrants were exercised, leaving 750,000 warrants outstanding.



On December 31, 2003 the company closed a private placement of 3,100,000 flow-through units at a price of $0.65 per unit.  Each unit comprises one flow-through common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant (two half-warrants) is exercisable to purchase an additional flow-through share at a price of $0.75 per share until December 30, 2005.  In connection with the private placement, the company issued 155,000 agents share purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $0.75 for a two year period.



The remaining 187,500 post consolidation shares held in escrow were released during the year.



Contributed surplus of $767,966 arose on the cancellation in 1992 of 3,157,050 shares held in escrow for no consideration.  The shares were initially issued in 1988 in exchange for common shares of Exxau, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary at that time; in exchange for limited partnership units of Exxau, Ltd., Limited Partnership; and in settlement of Exxau, Ltd. Limited Partnership's indebtedness to the shareholders of Exxau, Inc.  The shares were surrendered and cancelled incidental to the company's listing application.  An additional $14,000 in contributed surplus arose in 2003 as a result of recording stock option compensation expense.  See note 10.



10.

Stock options



During 2003, the company granted 1,950,000 common share options to directors and employees exercisable at $0.61 per share to November 14, 2008.  The options vest over the 18 month period following the date of grant.  Based upon the Black-Scholes option valuation model, and a risk-free market rate of 3% and volatility of 7%, the estimated compensation cost related to the options granted is approximately $100,000 of which $14,000 was recognized during 2003.



There remains 1,395,231 common shares reserved for issuance under the company's share option plan.

United States accounting principles



The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in Canada which differ in certain respects from those principles that the company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States.  The company is considered to be an exploration stage company under United States GAAP.  Differences which materially affect the financial statements are:



a)

Short-term investments, mineral property costs, and escrow shares



United States GAAP requires short-term investments with an original maturity beyond three months be treated as investments rather than cash.



United States GAAP require costs related to mineral properties to be charged as an expense as incurred until it is determined that commercially recoverable reserves exist.



Under United States GAAP, when shares are released from escrow, to the extent fair market value exceeds their issuance price, compensation expense is to be recognized.



Had the company followed GAAP in the United States, certain items on the statements of operations and deficit would have been reported as follows:

Income taxes



Under United States GAAP the benefits of assets with tax bases greater than the carrying amount and of tax loss carryforwards are to be recognized as deferred tax assets.  To the extent that those benefits may not be realized, a valuation allowance is to be provided for.  The company's deferred tax balances would be as follows:

The company has determined that realization of the future income tax benefits of the tax bases of the mineral properties being greater than the carrying amount and of net operating loss carryforwards is not more likely than not and therefore a valuation allowance has been recorded.

SCHEDULE B
TO A MINERAL PROPERTY SALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ROBAK INDUSTRIES LTD. AND GETTY COPPER CORP. (THE AGREEMENT)

NET SMELTER ROYALTY

1.

INTERPRETATION

1.1

Where used herein:

Agreementmeans theabove-referenced agreement, including any amendments thereto or renewals or extensions thereof.

Fiscal Periodmeans each calendar year or other period of twelve consecutive months adopted for tax purposes during the term of the Agreement.

Productmeans ores, metals (metals shall include bullion), minerals, mineral products or concentrates.

Royalty Interestmeans the share of Net Smelter Returns payable under the Agreement.

1.2

Words and expressions defined in the Agreement have the same meaning herein.

2.

Net Smelter Returns

2.1

Net Smelter Returns" shall mean the actual proceeds received from any mint, smelter, refinery or other purchaser for the sale of Product produced from the Property and sold, after deducting from such proceeds the following charges to the extent that they were not deducted by the purchaser in computing payment: smelting and refining charges; penalties; smelter assay costs and umpire assay costs; cost of freight and handling of ores, metals or concentrates from the Property to any mint, smelter, refinery, or other purchaser; marketing costs; insurance on all such ores, metals or concentrates; customs duties; severance, royalties, ad valorem, goods and services taxes, retail sales taxes or mineral taxes or the like and export and import taxes or tariffs payable in respect of said ores, metals or concentrates.

3.

Payment

3.1

The Royalty Interest shall be paid on a quarterly basis within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter in respect of the actual proceeds received in such fiscal quarter.

3.2

Each payment under paragraph 3.1 shall be accompanied by a statement indicating the calculation of Net Smelter Returns hereunder. The owner of the Royalty Interest shall be entitled to audit, during normal business hours, such books and records as are necessary to determine the correctness of the payment of the Royalty Interest, provided, however, that such audit shall be made only on an annual basis and within 12 months of the end of the Fiscal Period in respect of which such audit is made.

4.

Non-Arm's Length Sale of Product.

4.1

For the purposes of calculating the amount of Royalty payable if the sales of any Product are to a company or enterprise associated with the seller, and if the sale price is not negotiated on an arm's length basis, the seller shall, for the purposes of calculating Net Smelter Returns and notwithstanding the actual amount of such sale price, add to any moneys actually received with respect to such sale an amount which the seller considers sufficient to make the same represent a reasonable net sale price for such sale as if negotiated at arm's length and after taking into account all pertinent circumstances (including, without limitation, then current market conditions relating to products similar to such Product; terms of agreements between arm's length parties for the purchase and sale of similar products in similar quantities for delivery over similar periods of time; and physical and/or chemical characteristics of such Products).

4.2

The seller shall by notice inform the owner of the Royalty Interest of the quantum of such reasonable net sale price and if the owner of the Royalty Interest does not object thereto within 60 days after receipt of such notice, said quantum shall be final and binding upon the owner of the Royalty Interest.

4.3

If the owner of the Royalty Interest objects to such quantum by notice delivered to the seller within said 60 days, then the quantum of such reasonable net sale price shall be decided by arbitration with a single arbitrator to be appointed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Actof British Columbia in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 of the Agreement and the arbitrator shall have reference first to the Agreement, and then, if necessary, to practices used in mining operations that are of a similar nature.  The arbitrator shall be entitled to retain such independent mining consultants as he considers necessary. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and will not be subject to appeal.

5.

Segregation of Property

5.1

The determination of Net Smelter Returns hereunder is based on the premise that production will be developed solely on the Property.  Other mining properties may be incorporated with the Property into a single mining project and the metals, ores or concentrates pertaining to each may be blended at the time of mining or at any time thereafter, provided however, that the respective mining properties (including the Property) have allocated to them their proportionate share of the net smelter returns realised from such single operation, all as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and from records maintained by or on behalf of the seller. The owner of the Royalty Interest shall have the right, during reasonable business hours and upon prior notice to the seller and, if applicable, the Operator, to enter upon the mining properties and to inspect the plant and procedures followed with respect to allocations made under this paragraph provided that such entry shall be at the sole risk and cost of the owner of the Royalty Interest. If the parties disagree on the allocation of actual proceeds received and deductions therefrom, such shall be referred to arbitration in the manner provided in Article 16 of the Agreement and the arbitrator shall have reference first to the Agreement, and then, if necessary, to practices used in mining operations that are of a similar nature.  The arbitrator shall be entitled to retain such independent mining consultants and financial advisors as he considers necessary. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to appeal.

Highland Valley Copper









December 18, 2003









Getty Copper Inc. and

Genco Resources Ltd.

550  999 W. Hastings St.

Vancouver, B.C.

V6C 2W2



Attention:

Mr. Gordon Blankstein



Dear Sirs:

Re:

Highland Valley Area, B.C.  Memorandum of Understanding

Getty Copper Inc. (Getty) and Genco Resources Ltd. (Genco) own those mineral claims in the Highland Valley Area (Exploration Claims or The Property) located to the west of mineral claims comprising the Getty North and Getty South zones (Resource claims) which cover the current oxide/sulphide resource owned by Getty Copper Inc.  The Exploration Claims comprise the Getty West/Transvaal Zone, Glossie Grid Zone and North Valley Grid Zone more particularly described in Schedule A.  That portion of the Property set out in Part I of Schedule A consisting of the North Valley Grid Zone and the Glossie Grid Zone is owned entirely by Getty, while that portion of the Property set out in Part 2 of Schedule A and known as the Getty West/Transvaal Zone is owned in part by Genco (Transvaal Crown granted claims) and in part by Getty (Getty Claims).  All Exploration Claims currently owned by Getty are subject to a 1.5% NSR royalty in favour of Robak Industries Ltd., a private company of which John Lepinski is the beneficial owner, while the Transvaal Claims are subject to a 1.5% Net Returns Royalty in favour of the Houghton Estate Beneficiaries, to a maximum of $585,000.  The royalties payable to Robak Industries Ltd. and Houghton Estate Beneficiaries are hereinafter called the Underlying Royalties and are contained in the agreements attached as Schedule D.  Getty and Genco together shall be considered as one party and HVC shall be considered as one party, so that there will be just two parties for all purposes of this MOU.

Further to our recent discussions, we are pleased to provide you with this Memorandum of Understanding confirming the business terms we have agreed upon for Highland Valley Copper (HVC) to earn an interest in the Property, together with the terms to cover our joint venture relationship if the option is exercised.  Given the proximity of the Property to HVCs existing operations, there is the potential for ore from the Property to be custom milled at HVCs existing operations.

This Agreement will apply to the Exploration Claims only, and there will be no additional area of interest or influence around those claims.

Option Terms(paragraphs 1 to 13 and 29 to 38 applying during the term of the Options)

1.

Representations by the Companies.  The Companies jointly and severally warrant and represent to HVC that:

(a)

subject only to the back-in right held by Getty and the Underlying Royalties, they are the sole legal and beneficial owners of the Property and each holds the interest in the Property contemplated in the opening paragraph of this Agreement;

(b)

they have good title to the Property;

(c)

they have the right to enter into this Agreement and to dispose of an interest in the Property to HVC as contemplated in this Agreement;

(d)

the Property is in good standing with respect to the payment of fees and filing of work credits;

(e)

except for the Underlying Royalties, the Property is clear of encumbrances;

(f)

the agreements attached as Schedule D represent the Underlying Royalties and all amendments and each of the Underlying Royalties agreements is legally binding upon Getty or Genco, as the case may be, and is in good standing according to its terms;

(g)

the Companies will provide HVC with an accounting, by January 31, 2004, of the outstanding balance of the Underlying Royalty payable to the Houghton Estates Beneficiaries;

(h)

neither they nor any of their predecessors in interest or title have done anything whereby the Property may become encumbered;

(i)

they have no knowledge of anything in relation to the usage or ownership of the Property prior to the date hereof whereby litigation may hereafter be commenced;

(j)

the Property is in a physical condition that complies with all laws (including but not limited to environmental laws).

The Companies shall indemnify and save HVC harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, expense, injury or death (including, unless the Companies assume and pay the defense, with counsel approved in advance by HVC, legal fees) arising out of or in connection with any work performed on or in connection with the Property prior to the date of this Agreement or arising out of or in connection with any breach of its representations or warranties.

2.

First Option.  HVC will have the option to earn a 51% interest (initial interest) in the Property by incurring cumulative Expenditures (as defined in paragraph 6) of $5,000,000, expressed in Canadian dollars.  HVC must, if it wishes to exercise the option, incur the Expenditures  in the following dollar amounts in accordance with the following schedule:

On or Before

Cumulative Expenditures

December 31, 2004

$

1,350,000

December 31, 2005

$

3,000,000

December 31, 2006

$

5,000,000

For clarity, HVC agrees to spend a minimum $350,000 in 2004 as a condition of entering into this Agreement.  HVC will be deemed to have exercised the First Option upon having incurred the cumulative $5 million in Expenditures in accordance with the above schedule, but a joint venture shall not be formed merely by virtue of HVC having exercised the First Option.  HVC will have no interest in the Property unless the $5,000,000 in Expenditures are incurred and if HVC does not exercise the Second Option the 51% interest will decrease to 35% in accordance with paragraph 14.  See paragraph 14 for provisions related to the formation of the joint venture.  If HVC exercises the First Option, whether or not it exercises the Second Option, the parties will hold their interest in the Property subject to the net smelter return royalty (NSR) of 11⁄2% payable to Robak Industries Ltd., a company owned by John Lepinski, on all the Getty claims and 1.5% Net Returns Royalty payable to the Houghton Estate Beneficiaries (maximum of $585,000) on the Genco claims.

3.

Second Option.  If HVC has exercised the First Option, HVC will have the right to acquire up to an additional 19% interest (second interest) for a 70% total interest by:

(a)

incurring, on or before December 31, 2010, an additional, optional $10 million (for an aggregate of $15 million) in Expenditures, which Expenditures HVC will incur at the cumulative minimum rate of $1.5 million per year; and

(b)

subject to paragraph 5, delivering a Feasibility Study, as defined in Schedule B (the Feasibility Study), to the Companies on or before December 31, 2010;

provided however that if HVC delivers a Feasibility Study to the Companies prior to incurring the additional optional $10 million in Expenditures, it will be deemed to have fully exercised the Second Option and to have vested the additional interest and it will be committed to incurring the shortfall in the $10 million in Expenditures as the next costs to be incurred on the Property before the Companies have any obligation to fund costs.

Prior to commencing preparation of the Feasibility Study:

(c)

HVC will review with the Companies the parameters, including production rates, for the project it intends to study; and

(d)

if the intention is to custom mill ore from the Property through HVCs existing operations or to sell ore from the Property to HVC, the terms of the custom milling arrangement or ore sale contract will also be reviewed, the objectives being that those terms will reflect fair market value.

Promptly following that review, HVC will give notice to the Companies of its intention to proceed with the preparation of the Feasibility Study and the Companies may by return notice, within 60 days, indicate a substantially higher production rate, together with a rationale for that rate that the Companies require HVC to include in its Feasibility Study in addition to the other production rates HVC has proposed to study.  Upon completion of the Feasibility Study, HVC may, subject to paragraph 5, proceed with a production plan at that production rate indicated by the Feasibility Study to provide the highest NPV above zero,

For purposes of this paragraph, NPV means that the production from the Property will generate a net present value of the projected net cash flow equivalent in amount to the projected costs (including Expenditures under this Agreement) discounted to the date of the feasibility study on a constant US dollar basis and using the same discount rate and assumptions of mineable tonnage, grade and recoveries as contemplated for other production rates contemplated in the Feasibility Study.  Projected costs means all forecast costs related to the construction, start-up, operation and ultimate closure of a mine on the property including, without limiting generality, the projected capital, operating, marketing, distribution and mine closure and reclamation costs to be incurred after the date of a production decision, these costs being stated and projected in constant dollars in the year of analysis with no allowance for nominal inflationary effects.

4.

Effect of not Exercising Second Option.  If HVC has exercised the First Option but HVC elects not, or fails to incur the Expenditures or to deliver the Feasibility Study required, to fully exercise the Second Option, or if HVC gives notice to the Companies that it is terminating the Second Option, HVCs interest will convert:

(a)

to a 45% interest if HVC had incurred at least $10 million in cumulative Expenditures under the First Option and Second Option and a 55%-45% joint venture will be established with the Companies as contemplated in paragraph 14; or

(b)

to a 35% interest if HVC had incurred less than the $10 million in cumulative Expenditures under the First Option and Second Option and a 65-35% joint venture will be established with the Companies as contemplated in paragraph 14.

5.

Production Plan.  As contemplated in paragraph 4, HVC shall have until December 31, 2010 to deliver to the Companies a Feasibility Study to exercise the Second Option.  Any production plan contemplated in this paragraph will be based on a Feasibility Study or updated Feasibility Study prepared by HVC.  However, HVC will not be required to deliver a production plan unless the Feasibility Study or an updated Feasibility Study confirms to its satisfaction that the Economic Treshold has been met.  The Economic Threshold means:  (a) the NPV of the project will be at least zero, using a discount rate of 10%; and (b) and the cash flow to the parties (assuming they hold a participating interest) is expected to be positive over the first five years of the projects life; and (c) copper prices of US$0.64 per pound shall be used for both (a) and (b) estimates.  HVC may, at its option, elect to deliver a production plan that does not meet the Economic Threshold.

If HVC incurs $15 million in cumulative Expenditures and has not delivered a production plan to the Companies by December 31, 2010 by virtue of the Feasibility Study indicating the Economic Threshold set out above has not been attained, HVC, at its option, will, as it determines warranted, continue to sole fund the further exploration of the Property and it will update the Feasibility Study on an annual basis.  HVC will be reimbursed from cash flow generated from commercial production derived from the Exploration Claims prior to any other distribution to the Companies.  If the Feasibility Study indicates that the Economic Threshold set out above has been attained but HVC cannot deliver a production plan to the Companies by December 31, 2010 as aforesaid by virtue of it not being able to obtain debt financing for 65% of the anticipated costs to implement the production plan as contemplated below, HVC and the Companies will agree to a course of action that may allow the Property to be placed into production as economic conditions determine and there may be reimbursement from the cash flow generated from ultimate commercial production for any costs incurred by the parties in implementing that course of action.

If an updated Feasibility Study confirms that the Economic Threshold set out above has been achieved, HVC shall, within 90 days of preparation of the update, deliver a production plan to the Companies and make every reasonable effort to commence production substantially as contemplated in the Feasibility Study.

If HVC delivers a production plan it will undertake either to:

(a)

arrange project financing for at least 65% of the anticipated costs to implement the production plan, including the Companies prorata portion of the debt financing, at commercial terms acceptable to HVC; or

(b)

provide or arrange debt financing for 65% of the Companies prorata share of the anticipated costs to implement the production plan on commercial terms acceptable to both HVC and the Companies; failing which the Companies may arrange their own share of the anticipated costs.

In connection therewith the Companies will, if required, grant a security interest over their interest in the Property in favour of the project lenders and the Companies will fund their own share of the equity funding that is required.  If, as part of that financing, HVC is required to provide project completion guarantees for the Companies share of the debt, the Companies will pay HVC, at the date they elect to participate, a completion guarantee fee equal to 10% of the amount of the Companies portion of the debt being guaranteed.

6.

Expenditures Defined.  Expenditures include:

(a)

all costs, expenses, charges and outlays, direct and indirect, whether on-site or off-site, made or incurred by HVC on or in respect of the Property during the Option terms, including, without limiting generality, all costs for prospecting, claim staking, tenure obligations, taxes, mapping, surveying, permitting, geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys, sampling, assaying, trenching, drilling, geochemical analyses, road building, drill site preparation, drafting, report writing, consultants, and all other project expenditures, whether on-site or off-site; and

(b)

a charge of 5% on the Expenditures set out in paragraphs 2, 3 and 5 for the project support and supporting head office services provided by HVC.  This charge is intended as a reimbursement of the costs of the time incurred by head office management and support functions provided by HVC and its affiliates on or for the benefit of the Property, which are not billed as costs under paragraph 6(a).  The charge set out above is below the percentage charged by HVC and its affiliate, Teck Cominco Limited, in other option and joint venture relationships..  The charge is not intended to place HVC, acting as operator of the Property, in a position where it makes a profit nor suffers a loss by virtue of HVC or its affiliates providing these services.  This charge shall not be subject to audit but will be reviewed by the parties annually and adjusted so that it does not result in a profit or loss to the party acting as Operator.

7.

Title to Property.  Promptly following signing of this Agreement, the Companies will transfer title to the Property to an independent escrow agent acceptable to both the Companies and HVC for the escrow agent to hold in trust for the parties as their interests may be under this Agreement.  The Companies will permit HVC to register notice of this Agreement against title to the Property.  Promptly upon HVC exercising the Second Option, the escrow agent will transfer title to the Property to HVC, or its nominee, to hold in trust for the parties as their interests may be from time to time; provided that if title is transferred to a nominee the nominee will execute a declaration of trust in favour of the parties in form satisfactory to those parties, acting reasonably.  HVCs only obligation with respect to title while it is held by the escrow agent is to do and file assessment work or pay monies in lieu thereof and the Companies and the escrow agent will execute and deliver such documents and do such things in support thereof as HVC may reasonably require.  If HVC does not fully exercise the Second Option, the escrow agent will transfer title to the Property back to the Companies to hold in trust for the parties as their interest may be from time to time.

8.

Exploration Programs during Option Terms.  During the term of each of the Options, HVC will have exclusive control of the Property and the work to be done on or in respect of the Property, including the exclusive right to design and fund work programs to be carried out on the Property.  Prior to commencing a program, HVC shall present the programs work plan and budget to the Companies.  This presentation will be for information purposes and solicitation of the Companies comments. Final approval of programs during the term of each of the Options rests with HVC.  It is intended that HVC will, at no extra cost to this project, engage Teck Cominco Limited to be its nominee under paragraph 7 and to provide technical services to HVC to enable it to carry out some of its obligations under this Agreement.

9.

The Companies Access.  The Companies will have access to the Property, at their sole cost and risk, at all reasonable times to observe HVCs activities on the Property and to comment upon the program being carried out.

10.

Possession, Reporting and Access.  During the term of each of the Options, HVC will:

(a)

have the sole and exclusive possession of the Property and right to do work and explore the Property and to fund Expenditures;

(b)

perform its obligations and conduct all operations in a workmanlike and commercially reasonable manner, in accordance with all applicable laws and in accordance with sound mining, engineering and processing methods and practices;

(c)

keep the Property free and clear from any liens or encumbrances relating to its work on the Property;

(d)

provide the Companies with copies of approvals and services it has obtained relevant to the proposed activities;

(e)

provide the Companies with quarterly progress reports and with an annual summary of the work performed and the results obtained. The annual summary shall include copies of any drill records, assays, maps, plans and all other relevant factual information and materials not previously delivered together with a report on all Expenditures incurred during the period covered by the report;

(f)

maintain accounts of its Expenditures on the Property in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the mining industry and in a manner consistent with its own accounts;

(g)

file, to the maximum extent possible, all available assessment work related to its work on the Property; and

(h)

provide copies of all drill logs and assay results promptly upon HVC completing the same.

11.

Indemnity.  HVC shall indemnify the Companies against and agrees to hold them harmless from any and all damages, claims, losses and liabilities (including without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and solicitors fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by the Companies arising, during the term of the Options, from the negligent or wilful misconduct of HVC, its officers, employees, agents, servants, subcontractors, invitees and licensees.  However, HVC shall not be liable to the Companies for, and the indemnity shall not extend to, any consequential or special damages.

12.

Workers Compensation.Notwithstanding paragraph 10(b), HVC shall, and it shall cause its contractors to, comply with all laws in respect of Workers Compensation and all other laws in effect with reference to employing, safeguarding, insuring, protecting and paying all labour employed or used by HVC or its contractors.

13.

Termination of Options.  HVC may, on at least 30 days notice to the Companies, at any time prior to exercising the First Option, terminate this Agreement.  At any time after exercising the First Option, HVC may, on notice to the Companies, terminate the Second Option.

(a)

leave the Property in a condition so that its work is in compliance with all laws;

(b)

Joint Venture Terms (paragraphs 14 to 38 applying once the Joint Venture is formed)

14.

Initial Interests.A joint venture will be formed on the later of:

(a)

the date HVC fails to exercise or advises the Companies in writing that it does not wish to exercise the Second Option as contemplated in paragraph 4(b).  Thereupon two separate joint ventures shall be formed:

(i)

one between Getty, as to 65%, and HVC, as to 35%, on the Getty Claims, with Getty being initial Operator of this joint venture; and

(ii)

the other between Genco as to 65% and HVC, as to 35%, on the Genco Claims, with Genco being the initial Operator of this joint venture;

for purposes of calculating any subsequent changes in interest in each of the two joint ventures HVC will, in good faith, determine that portion of the $5,000,000 in Expenditures it incurred to exercise the First Option as between the Getty Claims and the Genco Claims, and each party to each joint venture will, at the date of joint venture formation, be deemed to have incurred Expenditures prorata to its interest in that joint venture;

(b)

the date HVC fails to exercise or advises the Companies in writing that it does not wish to exercise the Second Option as contemplated in paragraph 4(a).  Thereupon two separate joint ventures shall be formed:

(i)

one between Getty, as to 55%, and HVC, as to 45%, on the Getty Claims, with Getty being initial Operator of this joint venture; and

(ii)

the other between Genco as to 55% and HVC, as to 45%, on the Genco Claims, with Genco being the initial Operator of this joint venture;

for purposes of calculating any subsequent changes in interest in each of the two joint ventures HVC will, in good faith, determine that portion of the $10,000,000 in Expenditures it incurred as between the Getty Claims and the Genco Claims, and each party to each joint venture will, at the date of joint venture formation, be deemed to have incurred Expenditures prorata to its interest in that joint venture; or

(c)

the date HVC fully exercises the Second Option, HVC will own a 70% interest and the Companies will hold a collective 30% interest in the Property, and for purposes of calculating any subsequent changes in interest, the parties will be deemed to have incurred Expenditures of $10,500,000and $4,500,000 respectively, HVC will be the initial Operator of this joint venture.

Each joint venture shall be governed by the terms set out in paragraphs 15 to 38 below.  Subject to paragraph 22, each party shall bear a share of the Costs and liabilities incurred by the joint venture which is proportionate to its interest as that may be adjusted from time to time as contemplated below.

15.

Management Committee.A management committee will be formed to approve programs of exploration and development formulated by the Operator.  The management committee is comprised of two representatives and two alternate representatives of each party.  Each party's representatives are collectively entitled to a vote which is proportionate to its party's interest.  Management committee decisions are to be made by simple majority with the Operator having a casting vote in the event of a tie.

16.

Operator.The initial Operator of the joint venture will be the party contemplated in paragraph 14.  The party acting as Operator will remain Operator so long as it maintains at least a 50% or the largest single interest.  The Operator will be responsible for the daily direction of exploration, development and mining activities on behalf of the joint venture.

17.

Costs Defined.

"Costs" include:

(a)

all costs, expenses, charges and outlays, direct and indirect, made or incurred by the Operator on or in respect of the Property; and

(b)

a charge for administrative services provided by the Operator and its affiliated corporations and not recovered directly in (a) above, which charge shall be as follows: 10%, reduced to 5% on amounts in excess of $50,000 on any single third party contract of exploration costs and 3% of mine construction costs and mine operating costs.  The same proviso as set out in paragraph 6(b) applies to this paragraph 17(b).

18.

Exploration Programs.After formation of the joint venture, the Operator will propose draft exploration programs for management committee approval and carry out approved programs.  Each party may elect to contribute its proportionate share of the costs required to conduct the program.  If a party elects not to contribute its share of costs (and the other party elects to contribute the shortfall thereby created), the interests of the parties will be adjusted so that each party holds an interest proportionate to its contribution to total exploration costs.  If a party's interest is so reduced to less than 10%, paragraph 22 shall apply.  However, if any program is completed with less than 80 percent of the budgeted costs having been incurred, the non-contributing party may contribute its proportionate share of the actual costs incurred and thereby maintain its interest.

19.

Mandatory Program.  If, in any year following the date the joint venture is formed, there is no approved program and circumstances are such that the Operator must incur costs in order to maintain the Property, the Operator shall be entitled to propose a program (the "mandatory program") to incur those costs.  The mandatory program shall be deemed to be approved and each of the parties shall be obligated to contribute its proportionate share of Costs, failing which paragraph 25 will apply.

20.

Feasibility Study.  Any decision to place the Property into production is to be based on a production plan delivered by HVC under paragraph 5 or a feasibility study prepared by the Operator and approved by the management committee.  The feasibility study shall examine, where applicable, the following matters: a detailed statement of ore reserves; mining methods; metallurgy and processing (including metal recovery); environment, tailings and waste disposal; capital and operating cost estimates; manpower, social and community affairs; transportation methods and costs; marketing; project financing alternatives; environmental impact study and reclamation plan; a sensitivity analysis; such other matters as it considers appropriate.  The feasibility study is to be in a form and detail which the Operator considers suitable for each of the parties in arranging production financing for its respective share of mine costs.

21.

Production Decision.The Management Committee may approve a feasibility study prepared by the Operator under paragraph 20 and the giving of a notice to each of the parties that a decision has been made to construct a mine on the property.  Each party may commit to contribute its proportionate share, or some lesser share, of the Costs required to construct and to operate the mine whether the Property is to be put into production based on a production plan delivered by HVC under paragraph 5 or a feasibility study approved under this paragraph 21.  Each party which elects to contribute will hold an interest equivalent to its committed percentage contribution.  Each party which elects not to contribute at all, paragraph 22 shall apply.

22.

Dilution. A party whose interest is diluted below 10% as contemplated in paragraph 18 or a party which elects not to contribute at all as contemplated in paragraph 21 will be deemed to have assigned and conveyed its interest to the other party and in return it will receive a royalty of 10% net profits calculated as contemplated in Schedule C.  For purposes of this paragraph the Companies and all assignees taking an interest through either of the Companies shall be considered one party and HVC and all assignees taking an interest through HVC shall be considered one party.

23.

Operating Plans.A mine shall be operated on the basis of annual operating plans approved by the management committee; provided that the management committee may temporarily suspend or permanently terminate operations pursuant to a suspension or closure plan approved by it.  Ores, concentrates and derivatives mined or retrieved from the Property may be commingled with ores, concentrates or derivatives mined or retrieved from other properties.  All determinations required for calculation of the amount of the metals contained in or recovered from ores, solutions, concentrates or derivatives mined or retrieved from the Property, the amount of the metals contained in or recovered from commingled ores, solutions, concentrates or derivatives, gross revenues from the sale of Products, and costs and expenses allocated to the Property or Products shall be made in accordance with prudent engineering, metallurgical and cost accounting practices.  Prior to the commencement of mining on the Property, the Operator shall advise the non-Operator of the sampling and testing procedures it intends to use and will act reasonably in dealing with any comments made by the non-Operator.  Following commencement of mining, test work will be done on a regular basis and as patterns are established, the time interval may be modified.

24.

Distribution of Production.A party contributing to mine costs is entitled to receive, in kind, its proportionate share of any minerals produced and to separately dispose of the same.  The Companies will negotiate in good faith with HVC, terms under which HVC will be entitled to be sales agent for the Companies share of products produced from the Property.

25.

Payment of Costs.The Operator may invoice each party which has elected to contribute for exploration or mine construction costs incurred or to cash call reasonably in advance of requirements.  If a party does not pay the amount invoiced within 30 days, the amount in default shall bear interest at LIBOR plus 4% calculated monthly from the initial due date. The operator may demand payment and if payment is not made within 30 days of demand the other party may elect to advance the amount of the defaulted payment and the party advancing the amount in default will have a lien on the defaulting partys interest.  The lienholder may enforce the lien by causing the defaulting partys interest to be sold and, following recovery of the principal in default and interest and the cost of enforcing the lien and of the sale, the balance of the sales proceeds will be paid to the defaulting party.

26.

Indemnification.  Each party, in proportion to its interest at the date the indemnifying event occurs, shall indemnify and save the Operator harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damage, expense, injury and death (including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, legal fees (collectively the Claims) resulting from any act or omission of the Operator or its officers, employees or agents done or omitted to be done:

(a)

pursuant to a requirement set out in this Agreement;

(b)

at the direction, or within the scope of the direction, or with the concurrence of the Management Committee, as the case may be; or

(c)

unilaterally and in good faith by the Operator to protect life or property;

provided that the Operator has otherwise performed its duties and obligations as contemplated in paragraph 10(b).  However, HVC shall not be liable to the Companies for, and the indemnity shall not extend to, any consequential or special damages.

27.

Right of First Offer.A party wishing to dispose of its interest will, by notice, first offer to sell it to the other party for a price and on terms which the disposing party establishes.  If the other party does not accept the offer within 90 days the disposing party shall then have 180 days to dispose of its interest to a third party for the same or greater price and on the same terms or terms no more favourable to the third party.  The right of first offer shall not apply to transfers to affiliated corporations.  In the case of affiliates, a party may assign all or part of its interest to an affiliate so long as it has first obtained the prior written consent of the other party or parties, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.

Terms Applicable to Both the Option and Joint Venture

The following terms apply to both the option and joint venture phases:

28.

Surrender.  A party shall be entitled to surrender its interest to the other parties on notice to them.  A surrender of interest shall not release a party from liabilities accrued prior to the effective surrender date.

29.

Area of Interest. Both during the term of the Options and subsequently during the joint venture term, there shall be an area of interest which will comprise those lands that lay north of 50° 34 42.35 (NAD 83, Zone 10) but are otherwise within one kilometer of the outermost boundary of the Property as it is set out in Schedule A.  The area of interest is shown, depicted for illustrative purposes, on Schedule A-10.  If either party or its affiliates or partners stakes any mineral properties covering open ground or acquires any surface or water rights from the Crown within the area of interest, it will offer to have those rights or properties included in this Agreement free of any costs other than its actual out-of-pocket cost of acquisition.  The other party shall have 90 days to elect whether to accept that offer and, where appropriate, pay its share of the costs of acquisition; failing which election and payment, the acquiring party may retain the rights or properties so acquired free of the terms of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall not restrict the rights of either party to acquire mineral rights or other properties outside the area of interest or to acquire mineral, surface or water rights held by third parties within the area of interest.  For greater certainty, those lands that lay south of 50° 34 42.35 (NAD 83, Zone 10) as shown on Schedule A and the Resource Claims shall not comprise any portion of the area of interest contemplated above.

30.

Disposition/Encumbering of Interest.  During the term of the Options, neither party shall sell, dispose or encumber its interest in the Property.  Following joint venture formation, a party may sell or dispose of its interest as contemplated in paragraph 27.

31.

No Partnership.  The rights and obligations of the parties shall be several and the parties shall hold interest in the Property as tenants in common.  No party shall institute any proceedings to partition the Property.  Nothing contained in the agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership or in imposing any fiduciary duty on any party.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no party shall have any obligation to mill, beneficiate or otherwise treat any mineral products or any other share of production in any facility owned or controlled by that party.

32.

Tax Benefits.  Costs incurred during the option or under the joint venture shall be for the account of the party incurring the same and it shall be entitled to all tax benefits with respect thereto.

33.

Force Majeure.  A party shall be entitled to claim force majeure if it is delayed or prevented from performing any obligation by reason of any cause, excluding lack of finances, beyond its reasonable control.

A party claiming force majeure shall give prompt notice to the other parties and will provide a report substantiating the basis upon which the postponement is necessary and the expected duration of the postponement.  During the period of the postponement, the party that claimed force majeure will provide regular reports on the status of the factors giving rise to the force majeure and upon the conditions giving rise to the force majeure having been removed, the party that claimed force majeure will promptly give notice of its intention to proceed.

34.

Reliance on Information.  All factual information and data provided by one party to the other is made without warranty and at the sole risk of the receiving party, and no warranty, express or implied, is made with respect to such information, all of which is provided AS IS.  Each party shall make its own determinations with respect to the reliability of such information and data.

35.

No Third Party Beneficiary Rights.  This Agreement is for the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns only, and is not intended to create third party beneficiary rights in any other party or in any Government, governmental organization or agency.

36.

Press Releases.  The text of any press releases or other public statements which a party proposes to make with respect to the Property shall be made available to the other parties, where possible, at least three business days prior to publication and the other parties shall have the right to make suggestions for changes therein.  If the press release mentions any party by name, that partys prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, to the use of its name shall be obtained.

37.

Further Assurances.  Each of the parties shall do all such further acts and execute and deliver such further deeds and documents as shall be reasonably required in order fully to perform the terms of this Agreement.

38.

Entire Agreement.  This is the entire agreement between the parties relating to the Property and supersedes all previous negotiations and communications related to the terms set out in this letter.

39.

Captions.  The captions in this Agreement have been provided for ease of reference and shall be disregarded in interpreting this Agreement.

40.

Governing Law.  The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of British Columbia.

If the terms set out above are satisfactory please sign the two copies of this Memorandum of Understanding and return one copy to me.  Upon receipt of the signed copy, this Memorandum of Understanding shall become a binding and enforceable agreement which will continue in effect until such time as it is replaced by a more formal and comprehensive agreement prepared by HVC and agreed upon by HVC and the Companies.

Yours truly,

This form must be completed by United States investors.

A United States investor is any person in the United States or any U.S. person as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  This will include (a) any natural person resident in the United States; (b) any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States; (c) any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person; (d) any partnership or corporation organized outside the United States by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors who are not natural persons, estates or trusts; (e) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person.

The Investor covenants, represents and warrants that:

(a)

it understands that the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the Securities) have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and that the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on the exemption from such registration requirement provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D;

If the Issuer is a foreign issuer within the meaning of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act at the time of sale, a new certificate, which will constitute good delivery, will be made available to the Investor upon provision by the Investor to the transfer agent of a declaration (in the form attached as Appendix A) that the sale of the securities represented thereby is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

the sale is made outside the United States in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations;
