Managements Responsibility for Financial Reporting



The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and reconciled to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as set out in Note 13, and contain estimates based on managements judgment.  Management maintains an appropriate system of internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets safeguarded, and proper records maintained.



The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has met with the Companys independent auditors to review the scope and results of the annual audit, and to review the financial statements and related financial reporting matters prior to submitting the financial statements to the Board for approval.



The Companys independent auditors, Mackay LLP, Chartered Accountants, are appointed by the shareholders to conduct an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Canada and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and their report follows.

Auditors' Report



To the Shareholders of

Panthera Exploration Inc.

(formerly Amera Resource Corporation)





We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Panthera Exploration Inc. (formerly Amera Resource Corporation) as at December 31, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.



The comparative financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were audited by another firm of Chartered Accountants which expressed an opinion without reservation on those financial statements in their report dated April 23, 2008.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada  United States Reporting Differences



In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the companys ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  Our report to the shareholders dated April 10, 2009, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)





1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN



Panthera Exploration Inc. (formerly Amera Resources Corporation) (the Company) was incorporated on April 11, 2000 in the Province of British Columbia and was transitioned under the Business Corporations Act (BC) on June 17, 2004.  The Company is a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of resource properties in the Americas.  The Company presently has no proven or probable reserves and, on the basis of information to date, it has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves.  Consequently, the Company considers itself to be an exploration stage company.



The amounts shown as mineral property interests represent costs incurred to date, less amounts amortized and/or written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.  The underlying value of the mineral properties and deferred costs is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to advance the properties beyond the exploration stage, and future profitability of the properties.



As of April 24, 2009, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $584,000.  The Company does not have adequate resources to maintain its core activities and has ceased its exploration activities for the time being, as well as taking steps to reduce overhead and other costs. The Company will need to raise further financings in order to continue its operations and fulfill its commitments. The Company may not be able to raise the necessary funds or may not be able to raise such funds at terms which are acceptable to the Company.  In the event the Company is unable to raise adequate finances to fund the proposed activities, it will need to reassess its alternatives and may have to abandon one or more of its property interests as a result.  Any further additional equity financing undertaken by the Company may cause dilution to its shareholders. The December 31, 2008 audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP).  The going concern basis of presentation assumes the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception.  Adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate could be material.





2.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY



During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company retrospectively changed its accounting policy for exploration expenditures to be more relevant and reliable. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company capitalized all such costs to mineral properties held directly or through an investment and only wrote down capitalized costs when the property was abandoned or if the capitalized costs were not considered to be economically recoverable.



Exploration expenditures are now charged to earnings as they are incurred until the property reaches development stage. All direct costs related to the acquisition of resource property interests will continue to be capitalized. Development expenditures incurred subsequent to a development decision, and to increase or to extend the life of existing production, are capitalized and will be amortized on the unit-of-production method based upon estimated proven and probable reserves.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



Use of Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of environmental obligations, the recoverability of mineral properties and the assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.



Principles of Consolidation



These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The principal subsidiaries are Recursos de los Andes S.A.C. (Peru) (100%), Amera-Chile Sociedad Contractual Minera (Chile) (100%) and Amera Resources Inc. (US) (100%). The Company operates in Argentina as a registered branch.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.



Short-term Investments



Short-term investments include money market investments maturing less than 12 months from the date of initial investment. Short-term investments are designated as held-for-trading and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value, recorded in the statement of loss.



Marketable Securities



Marketable securities are designated as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income.  The fair value of marketable securities is obtained by reference to the current quoted bid price on the balance sheet date.  When it is determined that a decrease in fair value is other than temporary a loss will be recorded in Other income (expense).



Mineral Property Interests



During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company changed its accounting policy relating to mineral property exploration expenditures and it now expenses exploration expenditures when incurred (see Note 2).



When a property is placed in commercial production, deferred costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method.  Management of the Company periodically reviews the recoverability of the capitalized mineral properties.  Management takes into consideration various information including, but not limited to, results of exploration activities conducted to date, estimated future metal prices and reports and opinions of outside geologists, mine engineers and consultants.  When it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned then costs are written off, or if its carrying value has been impaired, the costs are written down to fair value.



Mineral property acquisition costs include cash costs and the fair market value of common shares, based on the trading price of the shares issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the related property agreements.  Payments relating to a property acquired under an option or joint venture agreement are made at the sole discretion of the Company, and are recorded as mineral property acquisition costs upon payment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



The Company accounts for foreign value added taxes paid as part of exploration expense. The recovery of these taxes will commence on the beginning of foreign commercial operations.  Should these amounts be recovered they would be treated as a recovery in exploration expense.



For certain acquisitions costs for mineral property interests, the Company records a future income tax liability and a corresponding adjustment to the related asset carrying amount.



Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.



From time to time, the Company acquires or disposes of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.



Asset Retirement Obligations



Asset retirement obligations are recognized when a legal or constructive obligation arises.  This liability is recognized at the fair value of the asset retirement obligation.  When the liability is initially recorded the Company capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets.  Over time the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is amortized over the useful life of the related asset.  Upon settlement of theliability, the Company may incur a gain or loss.  As at December 31, 2008, the Company does not have any asset retirement obligations.



Long-Lived Assets Impairment



Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest their carrying value has become impaired.  Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.  Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.



Translation of Foreign Currencies



The Company's foreign operations are integrated and are translated using the temporal method.  Under this method, the Company translates monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at period-end rates.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates.  Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the period except for depreciation and amortization which are translated at historical rates.  The resulting gains or losses are reflected in operating results in the period of translation.



Concentration of Credit Risk



Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, short-term investments and other receivables.  The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and short-term investments with major financial institutions.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



Income Taxes



The Company uses the liability method of accounting for future income taxes.  Under this method of tax allocation, future income tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases, using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect in the periods in which the future income tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.  The effect of a change in income tax rates on future income tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs.  Potential future income tax assets are not recognized, as they are not considered more likely than not to be realized.



Loss Per Share



Loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year.  The Company follows the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.  Since theCompany has losses, the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants has not been included in this calculation as it would beantidilutive.  Information regarding securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future is presented in Note 7.



On December 23, 2008 the Company consolidated its shares on a 10 to 1 basis.  As a result, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the years 2008, 2007 and 2006 has been recalculated as if the shares had always been consolidated on a 10 for 1 basis.



Valuation of Equity Units Issued in Private Placements



The Company has adopted a pro rata basis method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units.  The pro rata basis method required each component to be valued at fair value and an allocation of the total proceeds received based on the pro rata relative values of the components.



The fair value of the common shares is based on the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date and the fair value of the common share purchase warrants is determined at the announcement date using the Black- Scholes pricing model. The fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded in contributed surplus.



Share Issue Costs



Share issue costs incurred on the issue of the Companys shares are charged directly to share capital.



Management Estimates and Measurement Uncertainty



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported years. Significant estimates include the basis of impairment of mineral properties and future income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



Stock-based Compensation



Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model using amounts that are believed to approximate the volatility of the trading price of the Companys stock, the expected lives of awards of stock-based compensation, the fair value of the Companys stock and the risk-free interest rate.  For employees, the fair value of the options is measured at the date of the grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete or the date the performance commitment is reached or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. The estimated fair value of awards of stock-based compensation is charged to expense over the period that it is earned, with offsetting amounts to contributed surplus.  If the stock-based compensation is for past services, it is expensed immediately.  If the stock-based compensation is forfeited, no amounts are charged to expense. If stock options are exercised then the fair value of the options is re-classed from contributed surplus to share capital.



Financial Instruments



The Company is required to designate its financial instruments into one of the following five categories: held for trading; available-for-sale; held to maturity; loans and receivables; and other financial liabilities. All financial instruments are to be initially measured at fair value. Financial instruments classified as held for trading or available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value with any change in fair value recorded in net earnings and other comprehensive income, respectively. All other financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost.



The Company has designated its financial instruments as follows:

(i)

Cash and short-term investments are classified as Held-for-trading.Due to their short-term nature, their carrying value is equal to their fair value.

(ii)

Marketable securities are classified as Available-for-sale.  The fair value is obtained by reference to the closing bid price on the balance sheet date.

(iii)

Amounts receivable and deposits are classified as Loans and Receivables.These financial assets are recorded at values that approximate
their

amortized cost using the effective interest method.

(iv)

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as Other Financial Liabilities. These financial liabilities are recorded at values that

approximate their amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Comprehensive Income



Section 1530, Comprehensive Income,introduced the financial statement Statement of Comprehensive Income effective January 1, 2007 and provides guidance for the reporting and display of other comprehensive income. Comprehensive income represents the change in equity of an enterprise during a period from transactions and other events arising from non-owner sources including gains and losses arising on translation of self-sustaining foreign operations, gains and losses from changes in fair value of available for sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of the effective portion of cash flow hedging instruments.

Thechanges are effective for interim and annual financial statements beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008.



Accounting Changes

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the revised CICA Handbook Section 1506, Accounting Changes, which requires that: (a) a voluntary change in accounting principles can be made if, and only if, the changes result in more reliable and relevant information, (b) changes in accounting policies are accompanied with disclosures of prior period amounts and justification for the change and (c) for changes in estimates, the nature and amount of the change are disclosed (see Note 2).



Capital Disclosures



CICA Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, establishes standards for disclosing information aboutthe Company's capital and how it is managed. Under this standard the Company is required to disclosethe following, based on the information provided internally to the Company's key management personnel:



(i)       
qualitative information about its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.
(ii)

summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital.
(iii)      whether during the period it complied with any externally imposed capital requirements to which itis subject.
(iv)      when the Company has not complied with such externally imposed capital requirements, theconsequences of such non-compliance.

This standard is effective for interim and annual financial statements beginning on January 1, 2008. Disclosures required by this standard are included in Note 9.



Financial Instruments Disclosures



In March 2007, the CICA issued Section 3862, Financial Instruments  Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments  Presentation, which together comprise a complete set of disclosure and presentation requirements that revise and enhance current disclosure requirements.  Section 3862, requires disclosure of additional detail by financial asset and liability categories.  Section 3863, establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives.  The standard deals with the classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equity, the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities are offset. The adoption of this change on the disclosure in the financial statements did not have an effect on the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008.

As a result of the withdrawal of EIC 27, companies will no longer be able to defer costsand revenues incurred prior to commercial production at new mine operations. The changes are effective forinterim and annual financial statements beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect there to be an impactof the adoption of this change on the disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS(continued)



(e)          
Laguna Project



On January 18, 2007, the Company signed a letter of intent to enter into an option agreement to acquire up to a 90% interest in the 11,250 hectare Laguna Gold Project in the Pasco Department of west central Peru.  The letter of intent was finalized in a definitive contract effective May 22, 2007.



In the first quarter of 2008 the Company terminated the option. Accordingly, the Company has written off $237,816 of acquisition costs capitalized to the property to date.



(f)

Walker Lane Properties



On June 9, 2006, the Company optioned the Walker Lane Properties in Nevada to Astral.  Under the terms of the agreement, Astral may earn up to an 80% undivided interest in the Walker Lane Properties.  An initial 65% interest in the properties may be earned by incurring US $2,500,000 in work expenditures over four years and issuing 500,000 common shares  to the Company (100,000 shares were received on August 4, 2006).  Astral may then elect to earn an additional 15% interest, by issuing a further 500,000 shares and completing a bankable feasibility study within three years.



During the year the Walker Lane Properties were dropped due to poor results.  Accordingly, the Company has written off $64,010 of acquisition costs capitalized to the property to date.



(g)

Junin and Humaro Properties



On October 1, 2007, the Company entered into two option agreements with Minera Phelps Dodge del Peru S.A.C.

Four of these projects are located in the Junin and Huancavelica Departments, central Peru and one is located in the Arequipa Department of southern Peru.



In order to earn a 70% undivided interest in these projects, the Company must complete US$200,000 in exploration expenditures, including 1,500 metres of drilling, in each of the Junin group and Arequipa group of projects on or before September 14, 2009. MPDP has the right to claw-back a 30% interest (for a total 60% ownership interest) in each property 60 days after receiving notice that 1,500 metres of drilling has been completed.  No amounts have been capitalized to mineral properties and deferred costs to date.



During the third quarter of 2008, the Company decided to terminate these option agreements.

MINERAL PROPERTIES(continued)



(h)          Loma Colorada Property



On December 21, 2007, the Company announced that it signed an agreement to option up to a 100% interest in the Loma Colorada porphyry copper-gold property.  This 1,100 hectare project is located in Ancash Department, 430 km northwest of Lima, Peru.

Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company may earn up to a 100% undivided interest in the Loma Colorada Property by incurring US $1,400,000 in exploration expenditures and making US $490,000 in cash payments to the vendor over a three year period. The Company can exercise this option (i) on or before the fourth anniversary year by making a further payment of US $2,500,000 and a 1% NSR or, alternatively, continue with the option for an additional 12-month period in exchange for a payment of US $400,000 and incurring a further US $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures; or (ii) at the beginning of the fifth anniversary the Company may continue with the option for up to a final 12-month period by making a payment of US $200,000 and funding a pre-feasibility study; or (iii) at the end of the fifth year by making a payment of US $5,000,000 and granting to the vendor a 2% NSR.  Each 1% NSR can be purchased by the Company for US $1,000,000.  No amounts have been capitalized to mineral properties and deferred costs to date.

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company decided to terminate this option agreement.



(i)          Toro Blanco, San Felipe and Sura Properties



On February 1, 2008, the Company signed an agreement with Geologix Explorations Inc. (Geologix) to earn up to a 70% interest in three gold properties located in the Huancavelica Department, Peru.



In order to earn an initial 51% undivided interest in these projects, the Company must complete US$3,800,000 in exploration expenditures on each of the properties, including a minimum of $100,000 exploration commitment during the first year. The Company may earn an additional 10% interest in each of these projects by completing a positive feasibility study on each property within three years of earning its 51% interest. A further 9% interest may be earned by the Company by placing the property into commercial production within six years of earning its initial interest, for an aggregate 70% interest in the property.



If the Company does not complete a positive feasibility study by the third anniversary, Geologix may elect to become operator and if it completes a positive feasibility study within two years, Geologix may earn an additional 11% interest and if it places the property into commercial production, an additional 10% for an aggregate 70% interest in the property.



During the third quarter of 2008, the Company decided to terminate this option agreement.

(j)         Golden Amera Resources Inc. Joint Venture



On June 30, 2007, the Company entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Golden Arrow to evaluate and acquire precious and base metal properties in Colombia. The joint venture hired an operations manager and retained contract exploration personnel.  The joint venture has not acquired any mineral properties to date, accordingly the Companys proportionate share of costs incurred have been recorded as general exploration expense.



On May 7, 2008, the Company gave notice that it was withdrawing from the Golden Amera Inc. Joint Venture Agreement and would not contribute further funds.



(k)        Cercana Porphyry Copper Project



On June 25, 2008, the Company announced it had entered into an option to acquire a 100% interest in the 1,075 hectare Cercana porphyry copper project.  The Cercana property is located 21 kilometres southeast of Arequipa city within the Southern Peru Porphyry Copper Belt.



The Cercana claims are held under an option to purchase contract with a private Peruvian company. The Company has the option to purchase 100% of the claims by making escalating payments over four years for a total $2,005,000 plus a 0.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty. A finder's fee was paid of $5,000 in respect of this transaction.



During the third quarter of 2008, the Company decided to terminate this option agreement.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS(continued)



During the year the Company accrued consulting fees in the amount of $15,000 to a company controlled by a director of the Company.  The company controlled by this director also loaned $30,000 to the Company.  These amounts are included in accounts payable.



All of the related party transactions and balances in these consolidated financial statements arose in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT



The Company views its equity as capital, and manages its issued share capital and share purchase warrants as such.  As the Company presently has no revenue, it principal source of funding is from the sale of common shares and exercise of share purchase warrants.  It is the Companys capital management objective to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so it may continue to carry on its business operations.



The Companys common shares are listed on the TSX-V and Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The TSX-Vs and OTCBBs policies impose certain minimum capital requirements, limits how many options to grant, pricing of options and private placements upon the Company.  Management believes that the Company is in compliance with these externally imposed capital requirements.



Refer to Note 7 (Equity) for a description of changes in capital during 2008 and 2007.





10.

MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK



The Companys financial instruments are exposed to certain risks, including currency, credit and metal price risk.



Currency Risk:  Business is transacted by the Company in a number of currencies.  Fluctuations in exchange rates may have a significant effect on the cash flows of the Company.  Future changes in exchange rates could materially affect the Companys results in either a positive or negative direction.



The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.  At  December 31, 2008, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities in US dollars and Peruvian Soles:



|                                           |                   |                  | 
|------------------------------------------ | ----------------- | ---------------- | 
|                                           | December 31, 2008
|                                           | US Dollar
$       | Peruvian Soles
$ | 
|Cash                                       | 6,585             | 528              | 
|Other receivables and prepaids             | -                 | 30,263           | 
|Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   | (190,447)         | (5,848)          | 
|                                           |                   |                  | 
|Foreign exchange rate at December 31, 2008 | 1.2180            | 0.3902           | 



Based on the net exposures as at December 31, 2008, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar and Peruvian Soles would have an insignificant impact insignificant in the Companys net earnings.

MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK (continued)



Credit Risk:Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and other receivables.  The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with major financial institutions.



Metal Price Risk: The Companys portfolio of properties has exposure to predominantly copper, silver and gold. The prices of these metals, especially copper, greatly affect the value of the Company and the potential value of its properties and investments.

INCOME TAXES



The recovery of income taxes shown in the consolidated statements of operations and deficit differs from the amounts obtained by applying statutory rates to the loss before provision for income taxes due to the following:

The realization of income tax benefits related to these potential tax deductions is uncertain and cannot be viewed as more likely than not.  Accordingly, no future income tax assets have been recognized for accounting purposes in 2008 and 2007.

(i)

Mineral properties and exploration expenditures



During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company changed its accounting policy relating to mineral property exploration expenditures and it now expenses exploration expenditures when incurred (see Note2).



(ii)

Marketable securities



For the 2006 fiscal year, the Company's marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale investments under US GAAP and carried at the lower of cost and market value for Canadian GAAP purposes.  Such investments are not held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term and, for US GAAP purposes, must have holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders equity until realized or until an other than temporary impairment in value occurs.  For fiscal 2007, the Company began recording holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders equity as required by Canadian GAAP. Management has determined that the decrease in fair value of Astral is other than temporary.  As a result a loss of $28,000 has been recorded in Other income (expenses).



(iii)

Other Comprehensive Income



US GAAP requires that a statement of comprehensive income be displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements and that the aggregate amount of comprehensive income, excluding the deficit, be disclosed separately in shareholders equity.  Comprehensive income, which incorporates the net loss, includes all changes in shareholders equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners.  Effective January 1, 2007, the Company began recording comprehensive income as required by Canadian GAAP.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES(continued)



(iv)

Income Tax



Under Canadian GAAP, future income tax assets are calculated based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates applicable to future years.  Under US GAAP, only enacted rates are used in the calculation of deferred income taxes.  This difference in GAAP did not have any effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.



Fair Value Measurements



In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. It also expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This guidance is not effective until January 1, 2009.



Recently issued US GAAP accounting standards:



i) In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160 a standard on accounting for noncontrolling interests and transactions with non-controlling interest holders in consolidated financial statements. The standard is converged with standards issued by the AcSB and IASB on this subject. This statement specifies that non-controlling interests are to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity. Because non-controlling interests are an element of equity, increases and decreases in the parent's ownership interest that leave control intact are accounted for as capital transactions rather than as a step acquisition or dilution gains or losses. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interests is adjusted to reflect the change in ownership interests, and any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity attributable to the controlling interest.



This standard requires net income and comprehensive income to be displayed for both the controlling and the non-controlling interests. Additional required disclosures and reconciliations include a separate schedule that shows the effects of any transactions with the non-controlling interests on the equity attributable to the controlling interest.



The statement is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 will be applied prospectively to all non-controlling interests, including any that arose before the effective date. Management anticipates the adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have an effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES(continued)



ii)  In December 2007, the FASB issued a revised standard on accounting for business combinations, SFAS 141R. The major changes to accounting for business combinations are summarized as follows:

§

all business acquisitions would be measured at fair value.

§

the existing definition of a business would be expanded.

§

pre-acquisition contingencies would be measured at fair value.

§

most acquisition-related costs would be recognized as expense as incurred (they would no longer be part of the purchase consideration).

§

obligations for contingent consideration would be measured and recognized at fair      value at acquisition date (would no longer need to wait until contingency is settled).

§

liabilities associated with restructuring or exit activities be recognized only if they       meet the recognition criteria of SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit  or Disposal Activities, as of the acquisition date.

§

non-controlling interests would be measured at fair value at the date of acquisition (i.e. 100% of the assets and liabilities would be measured at fair value even when an          acquisition is less than 100%).

§

goodwill, if any, arising on a business combination reflects the excess of the fair value of the acquiree, as a whole, over the net amount of the recognized identifiable assets   acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is allocated to the acquirer and the             non-controlling interest.

§

in accounting for business combinations achieved in stages, commonly called step      acquisitions, the acquirer is to re-measure its pre-existing non-controlling equity          investment in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date and recognize any     unrealized gain or loss in income.



The statement is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
