3.D. Risk Factors

Company is Incorporated in Canada; which has Different Laws

The articles/by-laws and the laws of Canada are different from those typical
  in the United States. The typical rights of investors in Canadian companies
  differ modestly from those in the United States; refer to the relevant sections
  which are discussed in Section 9.A.5 and Section 10.B of this Annual Report.
  Such differences may cause investors legal difficulties.

**Unsuccessful Exploration Efforts By J-Pacific Gold Personnel Could
Result In a Cessation of Operations by Company:**The expenditures
to be made by the Company in the exploration of its properties as described
herein may not result in discoveries of mineralized material in commercial
quantities. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of
commercially mineable ore deposits and this occurrence could have a significant negative effect on the Company.


**J-Pacific Gold Has No Reserves on the
Properties in Which It Has an Interest:**

The properties in which J-Pacific Gold has an interest or the concessions in
which the Company has the right to earn an interest are in the exploratory
stage only and are without a known body of ore. Properties on which Company
personnel do not find mineral reserves will have to be discarded causing the
Company to write each respective property off resulting in a significantly
negative effect for the Company.

**There is No
Guarantee of Clear Title to Any of the Exploration Properties to which J-Pacific
Gold Has an Interest:**

Unregistered agreements or unregistered transfers of title could cause J-Pacific Gold
to forfeit its interests in one or more of its properties.
An event such as this would have a significant negative effect on
the Company.

|page 14
|-------

**Mineral Prices May Not Support Corporate Profit for J-Pacific Gold:**

The resource exploration industry is intensely competitive and
even if commercial quantities of mineral resources are developed (which is not
guaranteed), a profitable market may not exist for the sale of same. If a
profitable market does not exist the Company could have to cease operations.


**J-Pacific Gold Has No Positive Cash Flow and No History of
Earnings and Is Dependent Upon Public and Private Distributions of Equity to
Obtain Capital in Order to Sustain Operations:**

None of the Company's properties have advanced to the commercial production
stage and the Company has no history of earnings or positive cash flow from
operations. The cumulative loss since the Company's inception of the
development stage, according to U.S. GAAP, is ($12,700,557). The Company does
not know if it will ever generate material revenue from mining operations or
if it will ever achieve self-sustaining commercial mining operations.
Historically, the only source of funds available to the company has been
through the sale of its common shares. Any future additional equity financing
would cause dilution to current stockholders.


**The Expense of Meeting Environmental Regulations
Could Cause a Significantly Negative Effect on J-Pacific Gold:**The current and anticipated future operations of the Company,
including further exploration activities require permits from various Canadian
Federal and Provincial governmental authorities. Such operations are subject to
various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production,
exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic
substances, mine safety and other matters. Unfavorable amendments to current
laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource
exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could cause
increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of
operations by the Company. Failure to comply with applicable laws,
regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions there
under, 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 resource exploration may be required to compensate
those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have
civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violation of applicable laws or
regulations. Large increases in capital expenditures resulting from any of
the above factors could force J-Pacific Gold to cease operations.

**Operating Hazards and Risks Associated with the Mining Industry
Could Result in Significant and Large Expenditures By J-Pacific Gold Which Could
Force Cessation of Operations:**
  Resource exploration activities generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards
  such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved.
  Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject
  to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development
  and production of precious and base metals, any of which could result in work
  stoppages, damage to or destruction of exploration facilities, damage to life
  and property, environmental damage and legal liability for any or all damage.
  The Company may become subject to liability for cave-ins and other hazards for
  which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure where premium
  costs are disproportionate to the Company's perception of the relevant risks.
  The payment of such insurance premiums and of such liabilities would reduce
  the funds available for exploration activities and could force the Company to
  cease operations.

|page 15
|-------

**There is the Possibility of Significant Dilution to the Present and
Prospective Shareholders of J-Pacific Gold:**
The Company's plan of operation, in part, contemplates the accomplishment of
business negotiations by the issuance of cash, securities of the Company, or a
combination of the two, and possibly, incurring debt. Any transaction
involving the issuance of previously authorized but un-issued shares of common
stock, or securities convertible into common stock, would result in dilution,
possibly substantial, to present and prospective holders of common stock.
J-Pacific Gold Currently has 3,475,000 share purchase options outstanding and
8,145,831 share purchase warrants outstanding. If all of the share purchase
warrants and share purchase options were exercised, the number of common
shares issued and outstanding would increase from 40,228,660 to 51,849,491.
This represents an increase of 28.9% in the number of shares issued and
outstanding and would result in significant dilution to current shareholders.


**The
Risks Associated with Penny Stock Classification Could Negatively Affect the
Marketability of the Common Stock of J-Pacific Gold And Shareholders Could Find
It Difficult to Sell Their Stock:**The Company's stock is
subject to "penny stock" rules as defined in 1934 Securities and Exchange Act
rule 3a51-1. The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The Company's common
shares are subject to these penny stock rules. Transaction costs associated with
purchases and sales of penny stocks are likely to be higher than those for other
securities. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less
than U.S. $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities
exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume
information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the
exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to
deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about
penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the
market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and
offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation
information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to
effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or
with the customer's confirmation. 
  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a
  penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make
  a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment
  for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading
  activity in the secondary market for the Company's common shares in the United
  States and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

|page 16
|-------

**The Company is Dependent on Key Personnel and the Absence of Any of
These Individuals Could Result in the Company Having to Cease Operations:**

The Company strongly depends on the business and technical expertise of its
management and key personnel. There is little possibility that this dependence
will decrease in the near term. As the Company's operations expand, additional
general management resources will be required, especially since the Company
encounters risks that are inherent in doing business in several countries. The
Company is dependent, in particular, on its President and CEO Mr. Nicholas T.
Ferris. Key man life insurance is in place on Mr. Ferris, its President and
CEO and Mr. Braun, its CFO.

**J-Pacific Gold Has Limited Financial Resources and Without the
Addition of Additional Capital May Not Be Able to Continue in Operation:**
The Company has limited financial resources and, if the business is not
profitable, may not be able to raise sufficient funds to sustain, continue or
expand its business. The Company currently has no meaningful revenues and
relies principally on the issuance of common shares to raise funds to finance
the day-to-day operations of the business. Current market conditions limit the
Company's ability to raise funds. If J-Pacific Gold is not able to raise
additional funds in the next 12 months, the Company's ability to continue in
business is in doubt.

**It is Difficult for
U.S. Investors to Effect Service of Process Against the Company:**The Company is incorporated under the laws of Canada. Some of the
Company's directors and officers are residents of Canada and a substantial
portion of the Company's assets are located outside of the United States.
Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service
of process in the United States upon the Company's directors and officers or to
realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated
upon civil liabilities under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. A judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon such civil
liabilities would probably be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the
U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had jurisdiction, as determined by
the Canadian court, in the matter. There is substantial doubt whether an
original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such
persons or the Company predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.

J-Pacific Gold has $937,179 in Cash Deposited in a Bank Which Is In Excess
of that Financial Institution's Deposit Insurance and If the Bank Were to Fail,
J-Pacific Could Forfeit the Cash.

4.B.  BUSINESS OVERVIEWFour-Year Corporate History
The Company is a mining and exploration company, focused on gold, with mineral
exploration and development properties. The Company either directly or through
joint venture partnerships, holds interests in several gold-silver metal
properties in Canada and the United States. The Company holds two key
projects: the Blackdome Gold Mine ("Blackdome"), an exploration property
located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and the Zenda Gold Mine
("Zenda"), an exploration property located in the State of California, USA.
The Company also holds the Elizabeth Project, an early stage exploration
project located approximately 20 kilometres south of Blackdome, the Blackdome
South Project, which is contiguous to the south of Blackdome and the Truax
Project near Goldbridge, British Columbia. In addition to these, the Company
has assembled a number of early-stage, drill-ready exploration projects
located in the State of Nevada, which are the Golden Trend Project, the
Callaghan Project, the RC Project, and the HC Project.

The Company has developed a business relationship with Jipangu Inc.
("Jipangu") of Tokyo, Japan (controlled by Tamisuke Matsufuji). Through share
purchases and private placements in 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2003, Jipangu has
become the Company's largest shareholder. The affiliation with Jipangu has
provided J-Pacific with the opportunity to utilize Jipangu's financial
expertise and access to low-cost capital to grow its asset base.

J-Pacific's strategy in 1998 and 1999 was focused on bringing the Blackdome
and Zenda mining projects into production. Production at Blackdome commenced
in November of 1998, but was halted in May of 1999 due to the prevailing low
price of gold. Also in 1999, J-Pacific completed a reverse-circulation
exploration drill program at the Golden Trend project that returned high
arsenic and anomalous gold values.

In 2000, the Company went through an extensive restructuring and cost
reduction program due to the deep depression in the gold mining and
exploration industry and the closing of Blackdome. As a part of the process,
the Company divested three early-stage exploration projects, namely, Los Hilos
(Mexico), Warrior Extension (Nevada) and BRU-Lovie (Nevada).

In 2001, J-Pacific commissioned Steffen Robertson and Kirsten (Canada) Inc.
("SRK") of Vancouver, British Columbia, to complete a geological modeling and
resource estimate of the Blackdome property. SRK concluded that there is
significant potential for the discovery of new mineable ore bodies.

In 2002, the Company acquired the Callaghan, RC and HC gold exploration
projects in the State of Nevada, USA, along with the Elizabeth, Truax and
Blackdome South exploration projects located in the Province of British
Columbia. During 2002, J-Pacific completed a drill/sampling program of the
tailings facility at Blackdome, a drill/sampling and geochemical program at
Elizabeth and a geological reconnaissance program at Blackdome South. On
December 31, 2002, the Company wrote-off the value of the Alwin Copper
Property in British Columbia.

In 2003, the Company focused efforts on promoting and financing exploration of
its existing portfolio of properties.

In the first quarter of 2004, the Company continued expanding its portfolio
  with the acquisition of the Montgolfier Project near the Montgolfier and Orvilliers
  Townships of Quebec. In British Columbia, the Company is continuing with its
  plan of building a land and ore base around the fully permitted Blackdome Mine.
  In Nevada, the Company is continuing with efforts to finance and explore its
  Nevada properties. In March 2004, the Company announced that it had signed a
  letter of intent with Jipangu ("Jipangu") Inc. of Tokyo, Japan allowing Jipangu
  to earn a 50% interest in the Company's Golden Trend and HC properties in Nevada.
  The letter of intent is subject to the completion of a definitive option agreement,
  the satisfactory completion of a due diligence review by Jipangu, and the receipt
  of the required regulatory approvals. Jipangu is a private Japanese company
  focused on investments in the gold sector and is the Company's largest shareholder,
  owning approximately 37.4% of the Company's outstanding common shares. Jipangu
  can earn a 50% interest in the projects by funding exploration over a four year
  period in the aggregate amount of US$2,750,000 in the case of the Golden Trend
  Project, and US$1,750,000 in the case of the HC Project. Jipangu made a
  cash payment of US$150,000 upon execution of the definitive option agreement, and will make
  US$150,000 on the first anniversary thereof and payments of US$200,000 on
  succeeding anniversary dates until the option is exercised. Jipangu is responsible
  for annual claim maintenance fees and advance royalty payments.

Blackdome Gold Mine, British Columbia

The Blackdome Gold Mine is currently an advanced exploration project with a
drill inferred mineral resource and significant engineering studies completed.
At present there are no known reserves on the property. Commercial production of
gold from high grade veins and structures occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s.
All the facilities remain on site and are in good condition to recommence
operations. The Company is attempting to identify additional resources.

Location, Access and Ownership

The property is located approximately 250 kilometres north of Vancouver,
B.C., and 70 kilometres west- northwest of the town of Clinton, B.C. Road access
to the property is provided by gravel road, westerly from Highway 97, 16km north
of Clinton. This road crosses the Fraser River at the Gang Ranch, 116km west of
Hwy 97. From the Gang Ranch Bridge, an additional 40 kilometres of road leads to
Blackdome Mountain and the claims (see Map 1).

The property consists of 39 mineral claims totaling 276 claim units, ten
crown-granted mineral claims and two mining leases. Total area of the property
is approximately 8050 hectares.

The property is 100% owned by, and recorded in the name of, No. 75 Corporate
Ventures Ltd., which is wholly owned by the Company.

The property is permitted for mine production, processing, development, and
general exploration under the terms and conditions of the Mines Act, Permit M-171,
issued by the Ministry of Energy and Mines of British Columbia and of the
Waste Management Act, Permit PE 7378, issued by the Ministry of Environment and
Lands of British Columbia. The Company posted a $100,000 bond in compliance with
these permits. These permits subject the Company to various mine, plant, waste
dump, wastewater and tailings liabilities. Prior to abandonment of the site,
reclamation requirements to decommission all tailings and waste dumps, fluid
discharge, removal of all plant and equipment, and restoration of the site to an
acceptable standard and level of safety will be required prior to the release of
the bond.

Any future mine production and related mineral processing would be subject to
the submission and approval of a new Plan of Operations. This would include
required application for renewal of appropriate water, explosive handling,
timber cutting, water and waste monitoring, and gas operating licenses being
submitted and approved.

History

The Blackdome property was initially located by an individual prospector in
1947. In 1953 Empire Valley Gold Mines Ltd. gained control of the property and
six adjacent placer leases on Fairless Creek. Empire completed road building,
underground exploration and trenching which exposed several gold bearing veins.
The property was optioned by Silver Standard Mines Ltd. in 1953, who completed
additional drilling and trenching. This work extended the exposure of previously
identified veins. A short landing strip was also constructed. In 1977 the
property came under the control of Barrier Reef Resources Ltd. who completed
extensive geological mapping, geochemistry and geophysical surveys as well as
limited diamond drilling. This work was continued in 1979 by Blackdome
Exploration Ltd, a company formed by the various stakeholders in the project. In
1982 the project was optioned to a subsidiary of Noranda Exploration Company who
completed additional mapping, sampling and geophysical work. In addition,
Noranda conducted extensive diamond drilling and underground drifting. In 1983
the property was returned to Blackdome Exploration Ltd. and in 1984 a positive
production decision was reached.

The Blackdome Gold Mine began commercial production in 1986 and continued to
  1991 during which time it recovered 240,000 ounces of gold from 371,950 tons
  of ore. In 1994 the property was acquired by Claimstaker Resources Ltd. and
  following additional underground work and diamond drilling the mine was returned
  to production in 1998 under a 50/50 joint venture with Jipangu, a private Japanese
  company. Production ceased in 1999 due to the declining price of gold and has
  been on care and maintenance since that time. The carrying value of the operation
  was written down to reflect impairment with the cessation of operations. The
  carrying value currently represents plant and equipment (mill, machinery, tailings
  facility, and camp). No intangible items are capitalized in the carrying value
  of plant and equipment.

|page 22

Geology and Mineralization

The area of the Blackdome property is underlain by a sequence of Early -
Middle Tertiary (60 to 30 million year old) felsic/intermediate volcanic rocks
and associated volcaniclastic sediments cut by small intermediate to mafic
dykes. The rocks strike north- northeast with shallow, 10-20 degree dips to the
southeast.

Northerly trending tension fractures are the locus of epithermal precious
metal- bearing veins and structures. Minor normal faulting occurs throughout the
area.

The vein systems at Blackdome have been formed by the infilling of dilatant
tensional fractures, breccia zones and shears. Typical veins contain both
non-ore (gangue) and ore minerals. Gangue minerals are dominantly quartz,
adularia, calcite and various alteration related clay minerals. Ore minerals
consists of native gold, electrum, native silver and various silver minerals.

Three stages of mineralization have been identified: a pre-ore stage, an ore
stage, and a post-ore stage. The pre-ore stage consists of massive crystalline
quartz lining veinlets and vein walls. The ore stage is dominated by the
deposition of quartz, adularia, and other minor silicate phases, along with
sulphides and precious metal minerals. During ore-stage mineralization native
gold was deposited as minute, isolated grains of different sizes in tiny
veinlets of pyrite and primarily within grains of silver minerals. Gold also
occurs as free gold in vugs and appears to be closely associated with clays. The
post-ore stage consists dominantly of calcite occurring as intergrowths with
quartz and adularia.

Inferred Mineral Resources

Currently there are no gold resources or reserves at Blackdome. Several
inferred mineral resource estimates have been derived since the Company acquired
the project in 1994. However, previously calculated reserves and resources are
no longer current and a prefeasibility study will be required to determine
whether or not any of the known mineralization can be reported. The cost of the
prefeasibility study will depend upon the size of any resource discovered and
the type of mining and processing proposed. The cost of a prefeasibility study
can range from a few tens of thousands of dollars to over one hundred thousand
dollars.

Recent Work on the Property

In 2001 the Company commissioned a study of the Blackdome Property entitled,
"Geological Modeling and Preliminary Review of the Resource Estimate for the
Blackdome Gold-Silver Property" November 2001, ("The SRK Report") to evaluate the
exploration potential of the property and the economic viability of the Inferred
Resource. The report identifies four High Priority Targets, which are summarized
as follows:



> 1) The intersection of #1 and #2 Veins. This intersection has
>   never been tested as it is projected to occur below the current depth of
>   mining. As both veins are important mineral bearing structures, the projected
>   intersection is an important location for future exploration. 2)
>   Southern extension of Vein #1. The existing maps suggest an abrupt termination
>   of this structure, with little effort having been given to resolving the
>   reason for termination. In the southern portion of the Blackdome property
>   cross-faulting is evident. The SRK model suggests that the structure hosting
>   the #1 vein may actually be continuous through a "fault jog" (i.e. a bend) in
>   the structure. 3) # 1 Hanging Wall Tension Veins. 4) Watson
>   and Southwest Connector Veins.

Three distinct areas of high gold content have been outlined by the Company
as areas of further interest. If feasible, the tailings would be subjected to
further gold extraction and then used for underground backfilling.

In the spring of 2004, the Company contracted Roscoe Postle and Associates
  to compile and create a digital database and model of the Blackdome project
  to be followed by the development of a comprehensive exploration program for the
  project.

Recommendations

Further exploration is recommended in the areas identified in the SRK Report
and the exploration targets currently being identified by Roscoe Postle and Associates.
The Company estimates the cost of this exploration program to be $3,000,000.

The mineral content of the tailings remains of interest. Management intends
  that representative sections of the high gold content areas be submitted for
  metallurgical study. This will determine both the optimal treatment method and
  gold recovery rates. Estimated costs of initial pre-feasibility, engineering
  and permitting studies are $50,000.

The Blackdome South Property, British Columbia

The Blackdome South property is a very early exploration stage project that
was recently acquired by the Company. There are no gold resources established at
this time.

Location and Ownership and Access

In 2002, the Company located 54 claims (341 claim units), tied on to the
southern boundary of the Blackdome Mine property. All claims are 100% owned by
the Company.

Please refer to Blackdome Gold mine section on page 21. (see Map 1).

In British Columbia, the Company's projects are subject to the permitting and
bonding requirements of the Mineral Exploration Code of
the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines (BCMEM). These requirements
are dependent on the extent of the work to be done. J-Pacific has not yet
proposed any work that would require bonding and permitting, but prior to
commencing such activities the Company must obtain approval from the BCMEM. In
addition the Company may be required to post a bond in an amount acceptable to
the BCMEM. The Company will comply with these requirements at such time as a
program of work is proposed.

History, Geology, and Mineralization

The first known claims on what is now the Blackdome South property were located
  in 1980. Throughout the 1980's portions of the property were controlled by a
  numerous small companies who completed localized geochemical and geophysical
  surveys and geological mapping. No drilling has been done on the property. In
  2001 the Company acquired the project area by staking. For descriptions of the
  Geology and Mineralization at Blackdome South see the Geology and Mineralization
  sections - Blackdome Gold Mine description on page 22)

Recent Work

The property was acquired by the Company on the basis of its proximity to the
Blackdome Mine, the reported occurrence of a similar structural and
stratigraphic setting and the reported occurrence of alteration and
mineralization typical of vein systems such as those at Blackdome.

During the fall of 2002, the Company commissioned extensive geologic
reconnaissance and data compilation covering much of the Blackdome South
property holding. This work has verified the existence of a geologic setting
similar to that at the Blackdome Mine, and has identified one area of immediate
interest based on previous geologic mapping and geochemical sampling.

During the summer of 2003, the Company completed an extensive geochemical
  survey in areas identifed in 2002 along with geological mapping.

Recommendations

In 2004, the Company plans to carry out detailed mapping, sampling and
trenching in the currently identified area of interest as well as in other
selected areas. This work is expected to develop drill targets and bring the
Blackdome South project to the next stage of exploration. The cost of the
planned 2004 exploration program is estimated to be $100,000.

Future programs will be contingent upon results of this exploration work.

The Elizabeth Project, British Columbia

The Elizabeth Project is an exploration stage project without known reserves
or resources. There is not a commercial economic mineral deposit developed at
this time.

Location, Access and Ownership

The Elizabeth Project is located in the Lillooet Mining District of British
Columbia, approximately 36 miles northwest of Lillooet, 22 miles northeast of
Bralorne and 19 miles southwest of the Company's Blackdome project (see Map 1).
The property is accessible via Highway 40 that heads west from Lillooet to
Goldbridge. At 32 kilometres west of Lillooet, a logging road heads
north-westerly along the Yalakom River. Near the 67-kilometre marker of the
Yalakom road, a branch road climbs nine kilometres westerly along Blue Creek to
the Elizabeth property. The driving time from Lillooet is less than two hours
(see Map 1).

On May 23, 2002, the Company entered into two option agreements that allows
it to purchase the Elizabeth property. In October of 2002, the Company staked
two additional mineral claims (24 claim units). In 2003, the Company staked an additioanl 10
mineral claims (90 claim units). In total, the property is
comprised of four crown- granted mineral claims and the sixteen Blue mineral claims
(182 claim units).

The option agreement to purchase the four crown-granted mineral claims was
completed with Mr. David D. White of Vancouver, British Columbia and Mr.
Thomas Illidge of Goldbridge, British Columbia. The Company paid Mr. Illidge and
Mr. White $10,000 upon signing the agreement and issued them, collectively,
50,000 common shares. By the terms of the agreement, the Company made
another cash payment of $5,000 on May 23, 2003 and issued another 50,000 common
shares. Upon the exercise of the option the Company must issue another 50,000
common shares. Additionally, if the project should ever go into production, the
Company must issue a further 50,000 common shares.

Beginning on May 23, 2004, the Company must also make advanced minimum
royalty payments of $10,000 per year, which are to be deducted from any future
royalty payments. The agreement also stipulates that the Company must complete
exploration work in the amount of $500,000 according to the following schedule:
$200,000 by December 31, 2003; $150,000 by December 31, 2004; and, $150,000 by
December 31, 2005. The vendors, Mr. Illidge and Mr. White, also retained a four
percent Net Smelter Royalty interest, of which two percentage points are
purchasable by the Company for $1,000,000 per percentage point.

The option to purchase the Blue Claims was completed with Mr. Illidge on May
23, 2002. The Company made a payment of $2,000 and 20,000 common shares to Mr.
Illidge upon signing the agreement. To maintain the option, the Company
issued 30,000 shares upon the first anniversary of the agreement and must issue a further
50,000 shares upon the Company's exercise of the option. As well, the Company
must make advanced minimum royalty payments of $5,000 per year. These amounts
are deductible from any future production royalties.

The agreement also includes a $500,000 exploration work commitment by the
Company wherein $50,000 is to be completed by December 31, 2003; $150,000 by
December 31, 2004; $150,000 by December 31, 2005; and, $150,000 by December 31,
2006. Mr. Illidge, retains a three percent Net Smelter royalty interest, of
which 2% may be bought for $1,000,000 per 1%.

According to the terms of both of the option agreements, the Company must
complete a feasibility study pertaining to the Elizabeth Project prepared by an
independent mining engineer. The cost of the feasibility project will depend
upon the size of any resource discovered and the type of mining and processing
proposed. The cost of a feasibility study can range from a few tens of thousands
of dollars to over one hundred thousand dollars.

Exploratory work on the property conforms to the Mineral Exploration Code
administered by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (BCMEM). J-Pacific Gold Inc.
has a current exploration work permit issued by the BCMEM office in Kamloops for
which the Company has posted a $3,500 reclamation bond. A Notice of Completion
for the 2003 program was submitted to the Kamloops office and has been accepted.
Applications for further exploration work will be submitted in advance of the
commencement of any programs.

History

In 1939 gold was discovered in quartz veins on what is now the Elizabeth No.
1 claim. Between 1940 and 1949, Bralorne Mines Ltd. explored the Elizabeth and
surrounding areas by surface trenching and underground exploration. Several
quartz veins were explored with two returning gold values. During 1958 and 1959,
Bethlehem Copper Mines Ltd. explored the West (No. 1) Vein with a tunnel,
approximately 180 meters vertically above the underground workings previously
explored by Bralorne. Gold zones were identified and a small bulk sample was
shipped.

In 1990, Blackdome Mining Corp. conducted trenching, portal rehabilitation,
surveying and detailed surface and underground sampling programs. Surface
sampling identified two distinct high-grade zones in the West Vein. Blackdome
personnel reported that the first zone was open to the southwest and exposed a
quartz vein that contained areas of visible gold. Approximately 65 meters below
this trench in the upper adit drift sampling of this vein returned a 20.0 meter
length averaging 1.8 oz. Gold/ton across 0.6 meter, and a 7.5 meter length
averaging 3.7 oz. Gold/ton across 1.0 meter.

Geology and Mineralization

The Elizabeth property is underlain by two distinct rock types. The oldest
(200 million year old) and most extensive rocks are
represented by ultramafic intrusive rocks (dark coloured, silica poor) and the
youngest (70 million year old) is represented by porphyritic quartz diorite
intrusives.

The ultramafic rocks have commonly undergone varying degrees of alteration
called serpentinization. This results in rocks that are typically green to
greenish-black and have a waxy lustre and a soapy feel. Polished and/or
striated fracture planes known as slickensides are locally common and are
indicative of faulting in these easily deformed rocks.

All of the known gold veins on the Elizabeth property are hosted by the
younger porphyritic quartz diorite intrusion although in some areas the vein is
observed in contact with sheared and serpentinized ultramafic rocks.

Veins range from several centimetres to over 1.5 metres in width and can have
highly variable orientations. For the most part, veins dip steeply (greater than
60 degrees). Veins have been traced for several metres to several hundred metres
 along strike.

Mineralization in the veins consists of native gold, pyrite along with minor
amounts of arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and galena. The total sulphide mineral
content of the veins seldom exceeds 1%. Gold values within the veins are highly
variable. "Metallics" assays reveal that considerable amounts of gold are
present in the coarse fraction of some samples. This indicates that the gold is
likely coarse and erratically distributed in the vein. This "nugget effect" is
common in many vein gold deposits.

Recent Work

In the fall of 2002, the Company commissioned an extensive mapping, sampling
and drilling program at the Elizabeth project. In detail, the work included grid
based geological mapping, the collection of 440 surface and underground samples
and the drilling of sixteen diamond drill holes totaling 1642 meters. This work
confirmed the presence of high grade gold values in known quartz veins,
demonstrated the continuity of the structures which host veins, and identified
several new areas with potential for economic gold mineralization.

In the summer and fall of 2003, the Company completed a program that included surface
trenching, grid based geological mapping and geochemical sampling.

In the spring of 2004, the Company commenced a 1,500 metre diamond drill program
  to test mineralized areas discovered during the 2003 campaign.

Recommendations

In 2003, the Company plans to continue the exploration of the Elizabeth property
  by exposing, through trenching and diamond drilling, the high potential zones
  identified in the 2002 and 2003 programs and by expanding the mapping and sampling
  program to areas beyond the current grids. The cost of the 2004 exploration
  program is estimated to be $300,000.

The Truax Claims, British Columbia

The Truax Claims are an early exploration stage project without known
reserves or resources. There is not a commercial economic mineral deposit
developed at this time.

Location, Access and Ownership

The Truax property is situated approximately 7 kilometres southeast of the
community of Gold Bridge in southwestern British Columbia. Gold Bridge is
situated on Highway 40 approximately 100 km by road west of Lillooet. Driving
time from Gold Bridge to the property is approximately 30 minutes. Several
logging roads in the Gold Bridge area provide access to the lower elevations of
the property. Cat trails, 4X4 roads, and ATV trails allow access to higher
elevations (see Map 1).

In 2002, the Company located 4 claims (94 claim units). All claims are 100%
owned by the Company.

Permitting issues are covered under the Blackdome South section on Page 24.

History, Geology, and Mineralization

The first recorded work on the Truax property took place in the 1930s.
Prospectors discovered high-grade mineralized float scattered across south and
westerly facing talus slopes. Bralorne Mines Ltd. drilled some shallow holes in
the early 1940s. From the 1970s through the 1980s, various companies conducted
soil and silt sampling, trenching, airborne and ground geophysics. Targets
included gold, silver, copper, lead, and antimony.

The geology of the Truax property consists of metamorphic (rocks deformed by
heat and pressure) rocks that have been intruded by granitic rocks. The property
lies just east of an area cut by major north-northwest trending faults. Some of
these faults controlled the gold bearing veins of the nearby Bralorne-Pioneer
mines. In the central portion of the Truax property mineralization consists of
gold-silver-zinc-antimony bearing, irregular pods within rusty fault zones that
cut the granitic rocks. East of this area previous workers also found
disseminated copper-molybdenum mineralization in the granitic rocks suggesting a
possible "porphyry" (large tonnage-low grade) environment.

Recent Work

In the fall of 2002, the Company commissioned a soil and rock sampling
program at the Truax Claims. Most of the work was conducted over two separate
grids. Weakly anomalous gold and moderately anomalous arsenic in soil and rock
were found to be associated with the fault zones in the granitic rocks on one of
these grids.

Recommendations

The Company plans to carry out detailed mapping, sampling and trenching in
  the currently identified area of interest as well as in other selected areas.
  This work is expected to develop drill targets and bring the Truax Project to
  the next stage of exploration. The cost of the proposed exploration program
  is estimated to be $50,000.

Montgolfier Project, Quebec

The Montgolfier Project is an early-stage exploration project that has no
developed commercial mineral reserve.

Location and Ownership

The Company announced on February 12, 2004, that it had entered into an
option to purchase 100% of 112 staked claims and 32 map designated cells
(totalling 3,552 hectares) in Montgolfier and Orvilliers Townships, Quebec, 85
kilometres west of the town of Matagami (see Map 2). The agreement with Ressources D.
Villeneuve Inc. ("RDV") will also includes 16 additional adjacent mining claims
staked by the Company. Upon regulatory approval, the Company made a
payment of $40,000 and issued 50,000 common shares to RDV. To maintain the
agreement, the Company is to make additional cash payments of $40,000 by the
first and second anniversaries, and $100,000 by the third anniversary of the
agreement. RDV retains a two percent Net Smelter Royalty, of which one and
one half percent is purchasable by the Company for $1,500,000.

The Montgolfier project is located in public land and therefore the surface rights
belong to the Crown. Certain surface exploration activities in public land require
permitting prior to initiating work. Prior to commencing surface drilling and
trenching the Company must obtain a "permis d'intervention en milieu forestier"
from the Ministere des resources naturelles de la faune et des parcs du Quebec.
This simple procedure is required to get access to drilling sites. Winter drilling
over bodies of water requires additional authorization from the Ministere de
l'Environnement du Quebec to comply with the zero-discharge tolerance. The
Company will comply with these requirements at such time as a program of work
is proposed.

Previous exploration on the property was conducted primarily between 1984 and
  1991 mainly by three groups: Boulder Mountain Resources, Teck Exploration/Golden
  Hope Resources, and Placer Dome/Golden Shield Resources. Government of Quebec
  assessment file records indicate that approximately 78 holes were drilled between
  1985 and 1991 along the 25- kilometre strike length of the property, with very
  little exploration having been conducted since.

The Montgolfier Project is located in the Archean Abitibi Subprovince, a
subdivision of the Superior Province, the oldest of the seven Canadian Shield
provinces. The project area lies within the north volcanic zone. This region is also
known as the Harricana-Turgeon belt. More specifically the project area occurs in
proximity to a regional network of interconnected deformation corridors extending
from Ontario to the East across the northern volcanic zone of the Abitibi
Greenstone belt.   The Montgolfier property is primarily underlain by rocks of the
Taibi basin . This sedimentary basin strikes generally east to east-northeast and
is composed of wackes, mudrocks, polymictic conglomerates, oxide iron
formation (magnetite) and minor transitional affinity mafic lavas. To the south of
the Taibi Basin lie the Cartwright and the Dieppe domains. The Cartwright
domain consists of mafic tholeiitic lavas and ultramafic intrusions, while the
Dieppe domain comprises mafic tholeiitic lavas and intrusions.

During 2004, The Company plans to review historical work data and carry out
limited additional field studies to define and prioritize targets for an initial drilling
campaign. Estimated costs for the first stage of exploration are $100,000.

Zenda Gold Mine, California

The Zenda Gold Mine is an advanced exploration project with no known
reserves. There is a significant drill inferred resource but no current
feasibility study has been done and there are no immediate plans for commercial
production.

Location, Access and Ownership

The Zenda property is registered in the name of Equinox Resources (Calif)
Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The property consists
of patented lode mining claims and 44 unpatented mineral claims and fee simple
lands. The total area is approximately 1,000 acres.

The property is located in Kern County, California, 60 kilometres east of
Bakersfield. Year round access is available to the property east from
Bakersfield along Highway 58. The towns of Tehachapi and Mojave are 25 and 45
kilometres further to the east along Highway 58. The mine turnoff is 30
kilometres along the canyon road and is accessed by a 3 kilometre one lane dirt
road (See Map 3).

The Company also holds two right of way easements that are leased from local
property owners, with one expiring January 29, 2007 and the second expiring
April 10, 2008. These rights of way guarantee access to the property from the
Caliente Creek Road.

A 5% Net Smelter Royalty is held by Paramount Gold Company, of which a
US$300,000 advanced royalty payment has been completed. In addition to this
royalty, there is a US$200,000 finder's fee payable at US$2.00 per ounce Au on
the NSR. These are the only encumbrances on the property.

Permitting

Kern County Planning Commission in the State of California is the
lead agency for the permitting of mining projects in this jurisdiction. The
project was originally permitted in 1990 by the Kern County Planning Commission
under a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") Number 130-89. The outstanding items
under the CUP are:



> - Building Permit - location of trailers for the processing plant
>   , office, shop and other support buildings and the foundation slabs upon which
>   they will be constructed- Air Permit - granted when equipment list is
>   submitted to the County by the Operator- Power - To reduce expenses and
>   avoid the need for permitting on-site generators (and the related concerns for
>   NOx emissions), Southern California Edison will be employed to bring power to
>   the site.- Health Permit - application submitted to County upon positive
>   production decision.- Fire - Operator must supply approved fire fighting
>   equipment and water storage facility upon positive production decision.

Kern County in a letter of November 1996 confirmed that all other conditions
to the CUP have been met.

History

Historically gold mining activities have been intermittent since the 1880s
with the last activity occurring in the 1950s. The old Zenda mine reportedly
produced 32,000 ounces of gold from 54,000 tons of ore from both glory hole and
underground mining. The property remained dormant until Shell Mining Inc., a
subsidiary of Shell Oil, acquired an option on the patented claims in 1984,
drilling 22 holes during the period 1985 - 1987.

Equinox acquired the property from Shell in 1988 and drilled 32 holes in
1988/90 and 13 holes in the early 1990s. Equinox carried out an extensive
exploration program on the property and completed a feasibility study in March
1990.

Equinox subsequently merged with Hecla Mining Co. in the spring of 1994.
Hecla's objective in acquiring Equinox was to develop the Rosebud mine in
Nevada. The Zenda project did not meet Hecla's development criteria and Saga
Exploration Co. ("Saga") subsequently acquired the project in 1995, and
undertook a detailed review of the Project in 1996. In 1996, Saga drilled
another 27 holes.

In 1997, Saga entered into a purchase agreement whereby the ownership of the
Project was transferred to the Company for share and future share consideration.
The two companies have been working co-operatively to bring the Project into
production. The Company is responsible for arranging financing for the Project
while Saga is the developer of the project and will be the contractor to the
Company to operate Zenda.

Geology and Mineralization

The geology of the Zenda Project can be characterized as granodiorite
intrusives of the Sierra Nevada Batholith (large body of granite) with
associated roof pendants of Paleozoic Kernville Series (group of rocks)
metasedimentary rocks and younger rhyolite (fine grianed granite)
intrusions/extrusions. Local hydrothermal alteration and mineralization found in
the Loraine Mining District is associated with this youngest intrusive event.

The Zenda deposit consists of epithermal, precious metal mineralization
associated with a structural zone that cuts the intrusive rocks. In the deposit
area, the granodiorites of the Sierra Nevada Batholith have been intruded by two
northeast trending, elongate stocks and numerous narrow dikes of rhyolite
porphyry.

Precious metal mineralization is associated with a northwest-striking,
northeast dipping structural zone that cuts both the granodiorite and rhyolite
intrusives. Within this zone, hydrothermal alteration and precious-metal
mineralization occur over a thickness typically ranging from 50 to 150 feet,
along strike for more than 1,200 feet, and down dip in excess of 600 feet.
Alteration consists of silica and various mica (sericite) and clay minerals. The
highly silicic zone ranges from massive microcrystalline silica ("jasperoid") to
brecciated stockworks of intersecting silica veins and veinlets.

Gold and silver mineralization in the deposit tends to increase with the
degree of silicification, with the central silicified (+/- sericite) and
adjacent sericite zones constituting the majority of the deposit.

Mineral Resources

In a 1997 independent study, a computer resource model was created from computer
  data and maps and reflects geology, gold, and silver data. The three-dimensional
  block, with dimensions of 6 metres (20-feet) in plan and 5 metre (15 foot) benches,
  provided a representation of the mineralized zone given the current data spacing
  and approximated potential mineable units. The mineral resources for the Zenda
  Property are summarized in table below.

Drill Hole Program Completions to Date and Assay Analysis

During the period 1984-1996 three drill campaigns completed 81 holes
(16,620 feet) by Shell Mining, Equinox and Saga. In the early 1990s, Equinox
twinned 13 of the Shell holes, bringing the total holes to 94 (totaling some
20,500 feet). All of the drilling was completed by reverse circulation drill
methods.

Recommendations

The mineralized structure has been drilled thoroughly in all directions. To
the west, north and south, the projection of the altered and mineralized
structure has been eroded. To the east, the possible down-dip extension of the
mineralized structure results in excessive waste having to be removed in an
open-pit, and therefore limits exploration potential. There is no other evidence
discovered to date of additional mineralized zones.

There has been no exploration completed since 1997 that would improve this
very limited exploration potential. The Company, therefore, does not believe
that the project warrants any immediate exploration activities. Limited
exploration to test along strike and dip for further mineralization may be
planned and budgeted when an updated review of the project's economic viability
by way of a pre-feasibility study is completed. The cost of completing a
pre-feasibility study is estimated at US$50,000. The cost of the exploration
program is estimated to be US$150,000.

Golden Trend Property, Nevada

The property is an early-stage exploration project, with no commercial ore
reserve developed at this time.

Location and Ownership

The Golden Trend Project is located in Eureka County, Nevada approximately
300 miles northeast of Reno. The project consists of 111 claims. The project can
be reached from Reno, Nevada by traveling east on Interstate 80 to Fernly (30
miles) and then east on U.S. 50 to the intersection of Grass Valley Road
(approximately 210 miles) then north west for 45 miles to the property (see Map
3).

The Company acquired an option to purchase a 100% interest in this property
in August of 1996. On July 16, 2002, the Company announced that it had completed
the acquisition of the property. The acquired interest is subject to a 3% Net
Smelter Royalty of which 2% is purchasable. The Company paid US$10,000 and
issued 25,000 common shares to the vendors as the initial payment.

The Company also paid US$10,000 along with an additional 75,000 common
shares to the vendors in 1997. Thereafter the Company paid US$10,000 each year
to maintain the option. All of the cash payments are advance royalties to be
deducted from the Net Smelter Royalty.

On July 27, 1998, the Company entered into a letter of agreement with Jipangu
whereby Jipangu could acquire a 50% interest in this property in return for
payments totaling US$500,000. A down payment of US$25,000 was made on
signing and a first installment of US$175,000 was received by the Company on
September 30, 1998. The remaining payments were due on September 30, 1999 and
September 30, 2000. During the year ended December 31, 1999, Jipangu terminated
the agreement due to the inconclusive results from the initial drill program.
The $200,000 was spent on exploration as part of the earn-in agreement thus the
Company was not required to repay these funds to Jipangu.

In March of 2004, the Company entered into an option/joint venture agreement with Jipangu
whereby Jipangu could acquire a 50% interest in this property in return for
spending a total of US$2,750,000 over a period of four years.  Jipangu must expend a total of
US$400,000 during 2004 to maintain the agreement.

Upon exercise of the option, the companies will form a joint venture with
  J-Pacific as the operator. Jipangu will have the right thereafter to earn an
  additional 15% interest in each property by completing an independent feasibility
  study and by financing the property into commercial production.

In Nevada, the Company's projects are subject to the permitting and bonding
requirements of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management ("USBLM"). These requirements
are dependent on the extent of the work to be done and prior to
commencing such activities the Company must obtain approval from the USBLM of
either a "Notice of Intent" for a planned disturbance of under five acres or a
"Plan of Operations" for a planned disturbance of more than 5 acres. In addition
the Company will be required to post a bond in an amount acceptable to the USBLM
and the Nevada Department of Environmental Quality. The Company will comply with
these requirements at such time as a program of work is proposed.

History

There is no record of work prior to the 1980s but there is evidence on the
  ground of significant trenching and shallow shaft sinking, which is apparently
  related to extensive barite mineralization on parts of the property. Several
  drill holes have been identified on the property but there is no information
  on depth or rock types encountered. It is assumed that this work was completed
  in the 1950's and 1960's. In the early 1980's, Noranda Exploration located a
  large claim group, which included the entire current J-Pacific land holding.
  Noranda completed airborne geophysical surveys, limited geological mapping and
  sampling. A number of shallow reverse circulation drill holes were completed
  but none encountered mineralization or geochemically anomalous rocks. Rubicon
  Resources Inc. acquired the property in 1993. Under an option agreement with
  Rubicon, Rocket Resources Ltd. of Vancouver B.C. completed grid based geophysics,
  geochemistry and geologic mapping. The property was acquired by the Company
  in 1996 which then completed limited drilling and trenching to date.

Geology and Mineralization

The Golden Trend claims are largely underlain by cherts, quartzites,
siltstones and some minor carbonates of the Ordovician Vinini Formation (group
of rocks). The western one half of the claim area is covered with overburden.

Mapping of old trenches reveals weak to moderate argillic alteration and
silicification as well as barite mineralization. Exploration by J-Pacific in
1998 and 1999 identified significant coincident gold and arsenic soil
geochemical values correlated with high angle structures. Rock chip sampling
yields geochemically anomalous gold, arsenic and occasionally copper values.

Recent Work

Exploration in the form of geological mapping, geochemistry, geophysics, and
drilling has been completed on the property during the period 1997 - 1999.

In 1998 and 1999, nine drill holes were completed, totaling 2,970 feet, to a maximum
depth of 500 feet. Rock types encountered were all upper plate rocks of the
Vinini Formation.

In the winter of 2004, the Company commenced a data compliation, digitization
  and synthesis of the historical work on the property, which resulted in the
  identification of initial drill targets. Permitting of these drill targets has
  commenced and drilling is expected to begin during the summer of 2004.

Recommendations

Further work on the property is planned to consist of drill testing
projections of structural/stratigraphic targets followed by deep target geophysical surevys and futher drilling.

The Callaghan Property

The Callaghan is an early-stage exploration property that has no developed
commercial mineral reserve.

Location and Ownership

The Callaghan Property is located in Lander County, Nevada, 20 miles
northeast of Austin, the county seat. The property is approximately 150 Miles
east of Reno, Nevada and 100 miles southwest of Elko, Nevada (see Map 4). Access
is via the Grass Valley Road from Austin or Battle Mountain.

The Company announced on April 9, 2002 that it had entered into a lease
agreement with an option to purchase ten unpatented claims to augment the
adjacent 42 unpatented mining claims staked by the Company.

The terms of this agreement are between the Company and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Kizis of Reno, Nevada and are summarized as follows:



> 1. All mineral and mining rights to the property are granted to
>   the Company for a ten year term with the option to extend the agreement for an
>   additional ten years; 2. The Company made an initial payment of US$5,000;
>   3. Future Advanced Minimum Royalty payments are due as follows: US$5,000 at
>   the second anniversary of the agreement; US$5,000 at the third anniversary of
>   the agreement; US$20,000 at the fourth anniversary of the agreement; and
>   US$25,000 in the fifth and each subsequent anniversary. 4. Following the
>   cumulative expenditure of US$500,000 the Company has an option by paying
>   US$20,000 to purchase 100% of the property subject to Net Smelter Royalty
>   payments; a. 3% Net Smelter Royalty interest is retained by the vendors,
>   of which two percentage points are purchasable by the Company for US$1,000,000
>   per percentage point; and, b. The Advanced Minimum Royalty payments are
>   deductible from any production royalties that might be payable to the vendors.

Permitting and bonding requirements of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (USBLM)
  and the Nevada Department of Environmental Quality are describe in the Golden
  Trend section on page 32.

History

The Callaghan Project covers several areas of prior work, including
significant localized drilling and trenching. Little data is available for work
prior to 1988. The earliest known work on the property was carried out in the
1930's and consisted of sinking of a 60 foot deep shaft at the Rast Mine. A
minor placer gold occurrence one half mile southeast of the Rast mine was also
prospected in the 1930's. In 1969, Cache Creek Exploration Company of Reno
explored the area around the Rast mine. Exploration programs followed this work
on portions of the current property holding by Hanna Mining, Dome Exploration,
and Houston Oil and Minerals. No data are available from any of these programs.

From 1988 to 1990, Kerr McGee completed geologic mapping, soil and rock chip
sampling and drilled ten reverse circulation holes. In 1993 and 1994 FMC
conducted an extensive soil and sagebrush sampling program and drilled nine
reverse circulation holes. Placer Dome leased the property in 1995 and 1996, and
conducted an extensive airborne magnetometer survey over the project area.
Storimin Resources leased the property in 1997, but did no significant work on
the property before returning the property in May 1998. Kennecott leased the
property later in 1998, drilled 6 widely spaced holes in the region, and
returned the property in December 1998.

Geology

The Callaghan property is underlain by siliceous upper plate rocks of the
Vinini Formation and a sequence of lower plate Cambrian (550-500 million years
old), Ordovician (500-435 million years) and Silurian (435-395 million years)
age rocks, which host gold deposits elsewhere in northern Nevada. It is
interpreted that the relationship of the two plates is similar to other areas of
the State. Geochemical anomalies, including gold, arsenic and mercury, and
hydrothermally altered bedrock characteristic of gold deposits in this region
have been identified on the property. Previous drilling and geologic mapping has
identified a structural setting amenable to the development of significant ore
deposits.

Recommendations

The property is essentially drill ready with several targets currently identified
  and additional targets expected from limited synthesis and interpretation of
  existing data. Estimated costs for the first stage of exploration are US$150,000.
  Work will commence during the summer of 2004.

The RC Property

The RC Property is an early-stage exploration project that has no developed
commercial mineral reserve.

Location and OwnershipThe RC Property is located in Elko
County, Nevada, approximately 30 miles south of Carlin (see Map 4).

The Company announced on June 7, 2002 that it had entered into a lease with
an option to purchase twenty unpatented claims to augment the 41 unpatented
mining claims staked by the Company.

The terms of this agreement are between the Company and KM Exploration LLC,
an unrelated Company, located in Elko, Nevada, and summarized as follows:



> 1. All mineral and mining rights to the property are granted to
>   the Company for a ten year term with the option to extend the agreement for an
>   additional ten years; 2. The Company made an initial payment of US$8,470;
>   3. Future Advanced Minimum Royalty payments are due as follows: US$10,000
>   at the first anniversary of the agreement; US$15,000 at the second anniversary
>   of the agreement; US$20,000 at the third anniversary of the agreement; and
>   US$30,000 at the fourth and each subsequent the anniversary of the agreement
>   to maintain the agreement; 4. The Company issued 20,000 common shares upon
>   regulatory approval to the vendors; 5. The Company issued 30,000
>   common shares at the first anniversary of the agreement; 6. Following the
>   cumulative expenditure of US$500,000, the Company has an option by paying
>   US$20,000 to purchase 100% of the property, subject to royalty payments;
>   7. A 3% Net Smelter Royalty interest is retained by the vendors, of which
>   two percentage points are purchasable by the Company for US$1,000,000 per
>   percentage point; and, 8. The Advanced Minimum Royalty payments are
>   deductible from any production royalties that might be payable to the vendors,
>   as are any federal and state royalties.

Permitting and bonding requirements of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management
(USBLM) and the Nevada Department of Environmental Quality are describe in the
Golden Trend section on page 32.

History

There is very little evidence of major exploration programs on the property.
Limited reconnaissance mapping and sampling has been completed by the property
owners. In the vicinity, several major companies, including MK Gold and Phelps
Dodge have completed drill programs.

Geology

The claims are underlain by sequences of Devonian (395-345 million years) and
  Mississippian (345-300 million years) age carbonate and clastic rocks, as well
  as minor Tertiary (65 million years to present) volcanic rocks. The Paleozoic
  (600-230 million years) rocks are cut by at least two sets of high angle faults.
  The dominant N-S trending high angle faults bring the contact between the Devonian
  age Devil's Gate limestone (calcium carbonate rock) and the Mississippian Chainman
  Formation (group of rocks), which is a regionally permissive host for gold deposits,
  to within drilling distance of the surface. Geochemical anomalies and hydrothermal
  alteration characteristic of "Rain Type" deposits (a cluster of known gold deposits
  near Carlin, Nevada) have been identified and indicate the possible presence
  of a mineral system underlying the property.

|page 36
|-------

Recommendations

The Company plans to carry out limited additional geologic mapping and
sampling in an effort to define exploratory drill target locations. Minimal work
programs are required to establish these targets. This work will be quickly
followed by a series of drill holes designed to test these targets. Estimated
costs for the first stage of exploration are US$150,000. Work will commence upon
when financing becomes available.

The HC Property

The HC Property is an early-stage exploration property with no commercial
mineral reserve discovered to date.

Location and Ownership

The property is located in Eureka County, approximately 60 miles northwest of
the town of Eureka, the county seat (see Map 4).

The Company announced on June 11, 2002 that it had entered into a lease
agreement with an option to purchase 100% interest for twenty unpatented claims
to augment the thirty additional unpatented mining claims previously staked by
the Company.

The terms of this agreement are between the Company and KM Exploration LLC,
an unrelated Company located in Elko, Nevada, are summarized as follows:

Permitting and bonding requirements of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management
(USBLM) and the Nevada Department of Environmental Quality are describe in the
Golden Trend section on page 32.

In March of 2004, the Company entered into an option/joint venture  agreement with Jipangu
whereby Jipangu could acquire a 50% interest in this property in return for
spending a total of US$1,750,000 over a period of four years.  Jipangu must expend a total of
US$300,000 during 2004 to maintain the agreement.

Upon exercise of the option, the companies will form a joint venture with
  J-Pacific as the operator. Jipangu will have the right thereafter to earn an
  additional 15% interest in each property by completing an independent feasibility
  study and by financing the property into commercial production.

History

There is little evidence of early historical work on the property. A number
of old drill hole collars have been located but no data is available concerning
them.Geology

The claims are underlain by sequences of Devonian (395-345 million years) and
Mississippian (345-300 million years) carbonate and clastic rocks. The Paleozoic
(600-230 million years) rocks are cut by a high angle fault. It is the
geological setting of the property that makes it an attractive setting for a
gold resource. The high-angle fault brings the contact between the Devonian
Devil's Gate limestone and the Mississippian Chainman Formations (group of
rocks), which is a regionally permissive host for gold deposits, to within
drilling distance of the surface. Geochemical anomalies and hydrothermal
alteration characteristic of "Rain Type" deposits (a cluster of known gold
deposits near Carlin, Nevada) have been identified and indicate the possible
presence of a mineral system underlying the property.

Introduction
The Company has spent the last four years acquiring/exploring mineral
properties.

To fund this effort the Company has issued equity in numerous private
placements and stock-for-debt arrangements as described in 4.A. of this
document.

Operating ResultsFiscal 2003 Ended 12/31/2003 compared to Fiscal 2002
The loss for Fiscal 2003 was $1,550,540 or $0.04 per share compared with a
loss of $1,209,891 or $0.04 per share for Fiscal 2002. The larger loss in
Fiscal 2003 can be attributed to the early adoption of full value accounting
for stock based compensation. In 2003 the Company expensed options issued to
employees and directors for a total of $319,971. Prior to 2003 only options
issued to contractors were expensed.

The Company recognized $583,069 in stock based compensation expense for 2003
up from $77,330 in 2002. Exploration and evaluation costs in 2003 were
$400,855 for a decline of $187,419 in 2003 from $588,274 in 2002. The higher
exploration and evaluation costs in 2002 can be attributed to acquisition
costs for the HC, RC, Callaghan and Elizabeth properties. No acquisition costs
were recognized in 2003.

General and administrative costs declined from $522,275 in 2002 to $474,426 in
2003 due mainly to lower professional fees and costs associated with filing
technical reports and property acquisition agreements.

Care and maintenance costs for the Blackdome Mine increased to $87,121 in 2003 from $57,386 due
mainly to the Company acquiring 100% of the Blackdome Mine in September of
2003 versus having only 50% of the operating costs in 2002 and years prior.

Fiscal 2002 Ended 12/31/2002 compared to Fiscal 2001
The loss for Fiscal 2002 was $1,209,891 or $0.04 per share compared with a
loss of $645,408 or $0.03 per share for Fiscal 2001. The larger loss in Fiscal
2001 can be attributed to increased expenses at the Company's head office and
increased exploration and evaluation costs.

General and Administrative expenses increased during Fiscal 2002 as compared
to Fiscal 2001 in the amount of $76,081. The increase was due primarily to the
fact that during Fiscal 2002 the Company incurred higher administrative costs
due to the increased activities of the Company such as filing fees and
professional fees.

Care and maintenance during Fiscal 2002 was $57,386 as compared to $68,139
during Fiscal 2001. The higher costs in 2001 can be attributed to the Company
opening the camp at the Blackdome Mine two months earlier for purposes of
drilling the tailings facility.

The Company expended a total of $588,274 during the period ending December 31,
2002, on its mineral properties compared to $49,212 during the period ended
December 31, 2001. The higher level of expenditures reflected the increased
funds available to carry out exploration programs and maintain the various
mineral properties.

Fiscal 2001 Ended 12/31/2001 compared to Fiscal 2000
The loss for Fiscal 2001 was $645,408 or $0.03 per share compared with a loss
of $752,189 or $0.03 per share in reported for Fiscal 2000. The smaller loss
in Fiscal 2001 can be attributed to reductions in expenses for care and
maintenance of Blackdome and reduced exploration and evaluation expenditures.
During Fiscal 2001, the Company incurred higher legal and other related costs
resulting from the corporate reorganization and name change. These costs have
now declined to a level that management believes are typical for a junior
mineral exploration company.

Total expenses decreased during Fiscal 2001 as compared to Fiscal 2000 in the
amount of $106,781. The decrease was due primarily to the fact that during
Fiscal 2000 the Company recognized $101,904 more in exploration and evaluation
expenses. In 2001, general and administrative costs increased $140,595 due
mainly to a corporate reorganization. The Company recognized $29,416 more in
care and maintenance costs for Blackdome in 2000. Also, in 2000, accounts
receivable was written down by $49,643, a loss on disposition of assets was
incurred in the amount of $27,737 and interest expense was $18,403 higher in
2000 than in 2001 as the Company completed its divesture of assets upon the
closure of Blackdome in 1999.

The Company expended a total of $49,212 during the period ending December
  31, 2001, on its mineral properties compared to $151,116 during the period ended
  December 31, 2000. The lower level of expenditures reflected the limited funds
  available to carry out exploration programs and maintain the various mineral
  properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
  Subsequent to the end of Fiscal 2003, the Company issued 1,400,000 units in
  a private placement, raising $770,000. Each unit consisted of one common share
  and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase on common share
  at $0.75 on or before January 14, 2004. The Company issued 50,000 shares for
  property at a deemed price of $0.80. The Company issued 1,448,332 shares for
  the exercise of warrants raising $566,833.

  no activities defined as research and development.

5.D.  Trends

The Company conducts business in the United States. In addition, gold is
priced principally in US dollars.  Major changes in exchange rates can
impact the cost of conducting business in the United States as well as the
relative profitability and feasibility of exploration projects. Past
performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.  However,
the Company feels a strong inverse relationship exists between the price of
gold and the US dollar, which serves to mitigate exchange rate risk.

Stock Options

The principal purposes of the Company's stock option program are to (a)
promote a proprietary interest in the Company among the officers, directors
and employees of the Company and its affiliates, (b) retain and attract the
qualified officers, directors and employees the Company requires, (c) provide
a long-term incentive element in overall compensation, and (d) promote the
long-term profitability of the Company.

The Stock Option Plan provides that stock options may be granted to directors,
senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company and management
company employees.  For the purposes of the Stock Option Plan, the terms
"employees", "consultants" and "management company employees" have the
meanings set out in TSX Venture Exchange Policy 4.4.  In addition, the term
"director" is defined in TSX Venture Exchange Policy 4.4 to include directors,
senior officers and management company employees.

The Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to acquire at any time
  up to a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company
  (subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments). If a stock option expires or
  otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the
  number of common shares reserved for issuance under that expired or terminated
  stock option shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. Any stock
  option outstanding when the Plan is terminated will remain in effect until it
  is exercised or it expires. The Plan provides that it is solely within the discretion
  of the Board to determine who should receive stock options and in what amounts,
  subject to the following conditions:

> (a) options will be non-assignable and non-transferable except that they will
>     be exercisable by the personal representative of the option holder in the
>     event of the option holder's death; 
> (b) options may be exercisable for a maximum of ten years from grant date;
> (c) options to acquire no more than 5% of the issued shares of the Company may
>     be granted to any one individual in any 12 month period;
> (d) options to acquire no more than 2% of the issued shares of the Company may
>     be granted to any one consultant in any 12 month period;
> (e) options to acquire no more than an aggregate of 2% of the issued shares of
>     the Company may be granted to an employee conducting investor relations
>     activities (as defined in TSX Venture Exchange Policy 1.1), in any 12
>     month period;
> (f) options held by an option holder who is a director, employee, consultant
>     or management company employee must expire within 90 days after the option
>     holder ceases to be a director, employee, consultant or management company
>     employee;
>   (g) in the event of an option holder's death, the option holder's personal representative
>   may exercise any portion of the option holder's vested outstanding options for
>   a period of one year following the option holder's death.

The Stock Option Plan provides that other terms and conditions may be attached
  to a particular stock option, such terms and conditions to be referred to in
  a schedule attached to the option certificate. Stock options granted to directors,
  senior officers, employees or consultants may vest when granted unless otherwise
  determined by the Board on a case by case basis.

In addition, under the Stock Option Plan a stock option will expire
immediately in the event a director or senior officer ceases to be a director
or senior officer of the Company as a result of (i) ceasing to meet the
qualifications under the Company Act (British Columbia), (ii) the passing of a
special resolution by the shareholders or (iii) an order made by a regulatory
authority. A stock option will also expire immediately in the event an
employee ceases to be an employee as a result of termination for cause or an
employee or consultant ceases to be an employee or consultant as a result of
an order made by a regulatory authority.

The price at which an option holder may purchase a common share upon the
exercise of a stock option will be as set forth in the option certificate
issued in respect of such option and in any event will not be less than the
discounted market price of the Company's common shares as of the date of the
grant of the stock option (the "Award Date").  The market price of the
Company's common shares for a particular Award Date will typically be the
closing trading price of the Company's common shares on the day immediately
preceding the Award Date, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the
Stock Option Plan.  Discounted market price means the market price less a
discount of up to 25% if the market price is $0.50 or less; up to 20% if the
market price is between $2.00 and $0.51; and up to 15% if the market price is
greater than $2.00.

In no case will a stock option be exercisable at a price less than the minimum
prescribed by each of the organized trading facilities or the applicable
regulatory authorities that would apply to the award of the stock option in
question.

The Stock Option Plan also provides that (a) disinterested shareholder
approval will be obtained for any reduction in the exercise price of an option
held by an insider of the Company and (b) options cannot be granted to
employees, consultants or management company employees that are not bona fide
employees, consultants or management company employees, as the case may be.

Common shares will not be issued pursuant to stock options granted under the
  Stock Option Plan until they have been fully paid for by the option holder.
  The Company will not provide financial assistance to option holders to assist
  them in exercising their stock options.

The TSX Venture Exchange The TSX Venture Exchange is a result of the acquisition by the Toronto
  Stock Exchange of the Canadian Venture Exchange ("CDNX") from its member firms
  on 8/1/2001. The CDNX resulted from the merger between the Vancouver Stock Exchange
  and the Alberta Stock Exchange that took place on 11/29/1999, to form the CDNX.
  The TSX Venture Exchange currently operates as a complementary but independent
  exchange from its parent, the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The initial roster of the CDNX was made up of venture companies previously
listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange or the Alberta Stock Exchange and later
incorporated junior listings from the Montreal Stock Exchange, the Winnipeg
Stock Exchange, and the CDN Over-The-Counter Market.  The TSX Venture Exchange
is a venture market as compared to the Toronto Stock Exchange that is Canada's
senior market and the Montreal Exchange that is Canada's market for
derivatives products.

The TSX Venture Exchange currently has five service centers: Calgary, Toronto,
Vancouver, Winnipeg and Montreal.  These service centers provide corporate
finance, surveillance and marketing expertise.  The corporate office for the
TSX Venture Exchange is located in Calgary and the operations office is
located in Vancouver.

The TSX Venture Exchange is a self-regulating organization owned and operated
by the Toronto Stock Exchange, which in turn is owned by its member brokerage
firms.  It is governed by representatives of member firms and the public.

Organizationally, the TSX Venture Exchange is comprised of seven business
areas: Corporate Finance Services, Trading Services and Market Information
Services, Compliance, Marketing, Technology, Corporate Affairs and Human
Resources.

The TSX Venture Exchange acts as a business link between TSX members, listed
companies and investors.  TSX Venture Exchange policies and procedures are
designed to accommodate companies still in their formative stages and
recognize those that are more established.  Listings are predominately small
and medium sized companies.

Investors in Canada are protected by the Canadian Investor Protection Fund
("CIPF"). The CIPF is a private trust fund established to protect customers in
the event of the insolvency of a member of any of the following self-
regulatory organizations: the TSX Venture Exchange; the Montreal Exchange; the
Toronto Stock Exchange; the Toronto Futures Exchange; and the Investment
Dealers Association of Canada.

Post-trade monitoring of market activity occurs in the market surveillance
department.  Sophisticated software analyses trade data from TRADETSX to
detect possible market improprieties.  A variety of surveillance and
investigative tools allow the TSX Venture Exchange to perform electronic
market monitoring and trade reviews.

The surveillance department is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing
  listed company activities and detecting breaches of the listing policies or
  the listing agreement. Market surveillance and listed company surveillance activities
  are closely coordinated.

provide, any action to be taken by a resolution of the members may be taken by
an ordinary resolution or by a vote of a majority or more of the shares
represented at the shareholders' meeting.

The Company's Articles and the British Columbia Corporations Act contain
provisions that require a "special resolution" for effecting certain corporate
actions. Such a "special resolution" requires a two-thirds vote of shareholders
rather than a simple majority for passage. The principle corporate actions that
require a "special resolution" include:

a. Changing the Company name;

b. Adding/changing/removing any restriction on the business or businesses
that the Company may carry on;

c. Changing the maximum number of shares that the Company is authorized to
issue;

d. Creating a new class of shares;

e. Changing the designation of all or any of its shares, and adding/changing/
removing any rights/privileges/restrictions and conditions, including rights to
accrued dividends, in respect of all or any of its shares, whether
issued/unissued;

f. Changing the number of any class or series, whether issued or unissued,
into a different number of shares of the same class or series or into the same
or a different number of shares or other classes or series.

g. Dividing a class of shares, whether issued/unissued, into series and
fixing the number of shares in each series and the
rights/privileges/restrictions/conditions of that series;

h. Authorizing the Directors to divide any class of unissued shares into
series and fixing the number of shares in each series and the
rights/privileges/restrictions/conditions of that series;

i. Authorizing the Directors to change the rights/privileges/
restrictions/conditions attached to unissued shares of any series;

j. Revoking/diminishing/enlarging any authority conferred under (h) and (i);

k. Increasing/decreasing the number of Directors or the minimum or maximum
number of Directors, subject to other rules;

l. Subject to section 45(8), adding/changing/removing any other provision
that is permitted by the British Columbia Corporations Act to be set out in the
Articles;

m. Amending the Articles of Incorporation;

n. Shareholder approval of an amalgamation agreement;

o. Continuance of the Company into another jurisdiction;

p. Disposing of all or substantially all of the Company's assets and
liabilities; and

q. Dissolution of the Company.

There are no restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of common shares of
the Company while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking
fund installments.

Flow-Through Common Shares
 "Flow-through" shares differ from other shares of common shares in only one
 aspect; all other rights of the shareholder remain unchanged.  Companies must
 specifically identify the expenditures associated with the funds raised
 through the sale of flow-through shares.  Companies raising capital through
 flow-through shares expend the funds on natural resource/exploration
 development.  The tax benefits connected
 with the expenditures flow through to the shareholder rather than the
 corporation.  These tax benefits are available only to shareholders residing
 in Canada.  Shareholders residing in the United States and other non-Canadian
 shareholders, receive no tax benefits through the purchase of flow-through
 shares.  550,000 of the Units distributed in the October 2003 private placment
 contained "flow-through" common shares. 83,333 warrants exercised in December
 2003 are "flow-through" warrants. 166,667 warrants exercised in June 2003 were
 "flow-through" warrants.

10.A.7. Resolutions/Authorizations/Approvals--- No Disclosure Necessary ---

10.B. Memorandum and Articles of AssociationThe Memorandum
and Articles of the Company do not address the Company's objects and purposes.

A Director shall not vote in respect of the approval of any contract or
transaction with the Company in which he is interested and if he shall do so his
vote shall not be counted, but he shall be counted in the quorum present at the
meeting at which the vote is taken.

The Directors may from time to time on behalf of the Company:

> (a) borrow money in a manner and amount, on any security, from any source
>   and upon any terms and conditions;
>   (b) issue bonds, debentures, and other debt obligations either outright or
>   as security for any liability or obligation of the Company or any other
>   person; and
>   (c) mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, or
>   give other security on the undertaking, or on the whole or any part of the
>   property and assets, of the Company (both present and future).

There are no age considerations pertaining to the retirement or
non-retirement of directors.

A Director shall not be required to hold a share in the capital of the
Company as qualification for his office but shall be qualified as required by
The Act, to become or act as a Director.

All of the authorized common shares of the Company are of the same class and,
once issued, rank equally as to dividends, voting powers, and participation in
assets. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters to be acted upon by the shareholders. Holders of common
stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to
time by the Board of Directors, in its discretion, out of funds legally
available therefore.

Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of common
stock are entitled to receive pro rata the assets of Company, if any, remaining
after payments of all debts and liabilities. No shares have been issued subject
to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights and no
provisions for redemption or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or
purchase funds.

Provisions as to the modification, amendment or variation of such shareholder
rights or provisions are contained in the "Company Act" of British Columbia.
Unless the "Company Act" or the Company's Articles or Memorandum otherwise
provide, any action to be taken by a resolution of the members may be taken by
an ordinary resolution or by a vote of a majority or more of the shares
represented at the shareholders' meeting.

The Company's Articles and the Company Act of British Columbia ("The Act") contain
provisions which require a "special resolution" for effecting certain corporate
actions. Such a "special resolution" requires a three-quarters vote of
shareholders rather than a simple majority for passage. The principle corporate
actions that require a "special resolution" include:

> a. Transferring the Company's jurisdiction from British Columbia to another
>   jurisdiction;
>   b. Giving financial assistance under certain circumstances;
>   c. Certain conflicts of interest by Directors;
>   d. Disposing of all/substantially all of Company's undertakings;
>   e. Removing Director before expiration of his term of office;
>   f. Certain alterations of share capital;
>   g. Changing the Company name;
>   h. Altering any restrictions on the Company's business; and
>   i. Certain reorganizations of the Company.

There are no restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of common shares of
the Company while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking
fund installments.

|page 56
|-------

There is no liability to further capital calls by the Company.

There are no provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective
holder of securities as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number
of shares.

The rights of holders of the Company's stock can only be altered by a Special
Shareholders' meeting.

Subject to Article 9.2 and to The Act, the first annual general meeting shall
be held within 15 months from the date of incorporation and the following annual
general meetings shall be held once in every calendar year at a time, not being
more than 13 months after the holding of the last preceding annual general
meeting, and at a place as the Directors shall appoint. In default of the
meeting being held, the meeting shall be called by any two members in the same
manner as nearly as possible as that in which meetings are to be called by the
Directors.

The Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting. A
general meeting, if requisitioned in accordance with The Act, shall be convened
by the Directors or, if not convened by the Directors, may be convened by the
requisitionists as provided in The Act.

Not less than 21 days' notice of any general meeting specifying the time and
place of meeting and in case of special business, the general nature of that
business shall be given in the manner mentioned in Article 22, or in such other
manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution whether previous
notice has been given or not, to any person as may by law or under these
Articles or other regulations of the Company entitled to receive the notice from
the Company. But the accidental omission to give notice of any meeting to, or
the non-receipt of any notice, by any person shall not invalidate any
proceedings at that meeting.

Persons entitled to notice of a general meeting may waive or reduce the
period of notice convening the meeting, by unanimous consent in writing, and may
give such waiver before, during or after the meeting.

There are no limitations on the rights to own securities.

There is no provision of the Company's articles of association, charter or
bylaws that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change
in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger,
acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries).

Shareholder ownership must be disclosed to the British Columbia Securities
Commission and the TSX Venture Exchange by any shareholder who owns more than
10% of the Company's common stock.

10.D. Exchange Controls

Canada has no system of exchange controls.  There are no Canadian restrictions
on the repatriation of capital or earnings of a Canadian public company to
non-resident investors.  There are no laws in Canada or exchange restrictions
affecting the remittance of dividends, profits, interest, royalties and other
payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities, except as
discussed in ITEM 10, "Taxation" below.

Restrictions on Share Ownership by Non-Canadians 

There are no limitations
  under the laws of Canada or in the organizing documents of the Company on the
  right of foreigners to hold or vote securities of the Company, except that the
  Investment Canada Act may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry
  (Canada) of certain acquisitions of "control" of the Company by a "non-Canadian".
  The threshold for acquisitions of control is generally defined as being one-third
  or more of the voting shares of the Company. "Non-Canadian" generally means
  an individual who is not a Canadian citizen, or a corporation, partnership,
  trust or joint venture that is ultimately controlled by non-Canadians.

10.E. Taxation

The following is a brief summary of some of the principal Canadian federal
income tax consequences to a holder of common shares of the Company (a "U.S.
Holder") who deals at arm's length with the Company, holds the shares as
capital property and who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the
"Act") and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (the "Treaty"), is
at all relevant times resident in the United States, is not and is not deemed
to be resident in Canada and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or
hold the shares in carrying on a business in Canada. Special rules, which are
not discussed below, may apply to a U.S. Holder that is an insurer that
carries on business in Canada and elsewhere.

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their
particular circumstances.

Under the Act and the Treaty, a U.S. Holder of common shares will generally be
subject to a 15% withholding tax on dividends paid or credited or deemed by
the Act to have been paid or credited on such shares.  The withholding tax
rate is 5% where the U.S. Holder is a corporation that beneficially owns at
least 10% of the voting shares of the Company and the dividends may be exempt
from such withholding in the case of some U.S. Holders such as qualifying
pension funds and charities.

In general, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on
capital gains arising on the disposition of shares of the Company unless (i)
at any time in the five-year period immediately preceding the disposition, 25%
or more of the shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the
Company was owned by (or was under option of or subject to an interest of) the
U.S. holder or persons with whom the U.S. holder did not deal at arm's length,
and (ii) the value of the common shares of the Company at the time of the
disposition derives principally from real property (as defined in the Treaty)
situated in Canada.  For this purpose, the Treaty defines real property
situated in Canada to include rights to explore for or exploit mineral
deposits and other natural resources situated in Canada, rights to amounts
computed by reference to the amount or value of production from such
resources, certain other rights in respect of natural resources situated in
Canada and shares of a corporation the value of whose shares is derived
principally from real property situated in Canada.

The US Internal Revenue Code provides special anti-deferral rules regarding
certain distributions received by US persons with respect to, and sales and
other dispositions (including pledges) of stock of, a passive foreign
investment company.  A foreign corporation, such as the Company, will be
treated as a passive foreign investment company if 75% or more of its gross
income is passive income for a taxable year or if the average percentage of
its assets (by value) that produce, or are held for the production of, passive
income is at least 50% for a taxable year.  The Company believes that it was
not a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year ended 12/31/2003
and, furthermore, expects to conduct its affairs in such a manner so that it
will not meet the criteria to be considered a passive foreign investment company
in the foreseeable future.

10.F. Dividends and Paying AgentsThe Company has not declared any dividends on its common shares for the
  last five years and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable
  future. The present policy of the Company is to retain future earnings for use
  in its operations and the expansion of its business.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned: the Company is unaware of any dividend
restrictions; has no specific procedure for the setting of the date of dividend
entitlement; but might expect to set a record date for stock ownership to
determine entitlement; has no specific procedures for non- resident holders to
claim dividends, but might expect to mail their dividends in the same manner as
resident holders. The Company has not nominated any financial institutions to be
the potential paying agents for dividends in the United States.

10.G. Statement by ExpertsThe Company's auditors for its
financial statements for the preceding year was Morgan & Company, Chartered
Accountants, located at 700 West Georgia Street, Suite 1488, Vancouver, B.C.
CANADA V7Y 1A1. Morgan & Company is licensed to practice in British Columbia

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for reviewing the Company's
disclosure to ensure the Company provides full and plain disclosure to
shareholders and other stakeholders.  The Board discharges its
responsibilities through its committees, specifically, with respect to
financial disclosure to the Audit Committee, which is responsible for
reviewing the Company's financial reporting procedures and internal controls
to ensure full and accurate disclosure of the Company's financial position.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including its Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Exchange Act as of a date (the "Evaluation
Date") within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Registration Statement.
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the
Company (or its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the
Company's periodic SEC filings.

There were no significant changes made in the Company's internal controls
during the period covered by this Registration Statement on Form 20-F or, to
the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the date of their execution.

The Company's management, including the Chief Financial Officer, does not
  expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and
  procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter
  how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
  assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design
  of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
  and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
  of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
  can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
  if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include
  the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
  can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
  circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or
  more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system
  of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
  of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
  in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time,
  control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree
  of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the
  inherent limitations in a cost- effective control system, misstatements due
  to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Audited Financial Statements

J-Pacific Gold Inc.Consolidated Financial

AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders ofJ-Pacific Gold Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of J-Pacific Gold Inc. as at December 31, 2003
and 2002, and the consolidated statements of loss and deficit, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years then ended. These consolidated 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 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated 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, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
years then ended in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles. As required by the British Columbia Company Act, we
report that, in our opinion, these principles have been applied, except for
the prospective change in the method of accounting for stock-based
compensation and flow-through shares as explained in the Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies, on a consistent basis.

Comments by Independent Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada-U.S. Reporting
Conflict

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require that the addition
of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements
are affected by going concern considerations such as described in Note 1 to the financial
statements. Our report to the shareholders, dated March 2, 2004, is expressed in accordance
with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such considerations
in the Auditors' Report when the consideration is adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

|**1** | **Nature of operations
        and going concern** J-Pacific Gold Inc. (the “Company”)
          was formed on February 8, 1990 under the Company Act of British Columbia,
          Canada. The company is engaged in the exploration and evaluation of
          mineral properties, primarily gold, in Canada and the United States.
          The company also maintains a fully permitted mine operation in British
          Columbia and a near fully permitted mine operation in California. Both
          operations are currently not in production but are maintained in a state
          allowing for short time-lines (less than one year) to production.
        Since the Company has no revenue, additional financing is required
          to sustain the company at the current rate of expenditure and to meet
          its spending commitments to keep the Blackdome Mine and its exploration
          and development projects in good standing. To raise capital, the company
          continues to maintain relationships with brokers and private individuals
          interested in exploration investments.
          These consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern
          basis, which implies that the company will continue realizing its assets
          and discharging its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly,
          they do not give effect to any of the adjustments that would be necessary
          should the company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore
          be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities, contingent
          obligations and commitments in other than the normal course of business
          and at amounts different from those in these consolidated financial
          statements.



        accounting policies** Basis
          of consolidation
        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of J-Pacific
        Gold Inc. and its subsidiaries, No. 75 Corporate Ventures (“No.
        75”), Equinox Resources (Calif.) Inc., Golden Trend Resources Inc.
        and Auric Resources Inc. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
        Use of estimates
        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
        accounting principles in the United States required 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
        Property, plant and equipment
        Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for
          replacements and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repair
          expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
        The principal depreciation method used for mining, smelting and refining
          operations is the units-of-production method applied on a group basis.
          Buildings, machinery and equipment for other operations are depreciated
          using the straight-line method over estimated economic lives of three
          to 40 years. Upon disposal of assets depreciated on a group basis, cost
          less salvage is charged to accumulated depreciation.
        Depletion of mines is computed on the basis of an overall unit rate
          applied to the pounds of principal products sold from mine production.
          Mine exploration costs and development costs to enhance reserve calculations
          are charged to operations as incurred.
        Property, plant and equipment consists of mill, machinery, tailings
          facility, mining equipment and camp. No intangible items are capitalized
          in the carrying value of property, plant and equipment.
        Claims and option interestsExploration and evaluation costs are expenses as incurred.The Company is currently exploring and evaluating a number of claims
          and has option interests in a number of properties. All exploration
          and evaluation expenditures incurred on these claims and option interests
          are charged to operations until it is determined that the property has
          economically recoverable mineral reserves. Upon determination of economic
          recoverable mineral reserves, costs are capitalized by area of interest
          and depleted on a units of production basis after commencement of mining.
        Stock based compensationStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
          Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"), and SFAS No. 148,
          Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,
          defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee
          compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments
          to acquire goods or services from non-employees, and encourages but
          does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based
          employee compensation at fair value. The Company has chosen to account
          for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method
          prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
          for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly,
          compensation cost for stock options is measured for the excess, if any,
          of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the
          grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.Comprehensive income
          SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires companies
          to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
          financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive
          income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital
          in the equity section of a statement of financial position.**Earnings per share**
         Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss)
          applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
          common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per
          share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities
          and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
          into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then
          shared in the earnings of the Company, unless the effect is to reduce
          a loss or increase earnings per share.
        **Impairment**
         Management assesses the carrying value of assets held for sale,
          mineral claims, and property and equipment for impairment when events
          or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may
          not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying
          amount of the asset exceeds fair market value.
        Generally, assets to be used in operations are considered impaired
          if the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the
          assets' carrying values. If impairment is indicated, the loss is measured
          based on the amounts by which the assets' carrying values exceed their
          fair values. The company has no assets considered impaired.**Foreign exchange translation**
        The operations of the company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated
          into Canadian dollars as follows: monetary assets and liabilities at
          the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date; other assets
          and liabilities at the applicable historical exchange rates; and revenues
          and expenses at the average rate of exchange for the year, except for
          non-monetary expenses which are at the rates used for the translation
          of the related assets. Unrealized gains and losses on translation are
          included in comprehensive income.
        **Flow-Through Shares**
         Under FAS 109 the proceeds from issuance should be allocated between
          the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits. The allocation
          is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the existing
          shares and the amount the investor pays for the shares. A liability
          is recognized for this difference. The liability is reversed when tax
          benefits are renounced and a deferred tax liability is recognized at
          that time. Income tax expense is the difference between the amount of
          the deferred tax liability and the liability recognized on issuance.

|  | Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143
        – “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, by
        which the Company recorded the estimated present value of reclamation
        liabilities and increased the carrying amount of the related asset, which
        resulted in a net income for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
        principle of $188,448 (note 7). The reclamation costs well be allocated
        to expense over the life of the related assets and will be adjusted for
        changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the
        timing or the amount of the original present value estimate.

|**7**                                        | **Asset retirement obligation**
        The total future asset retirement obligation was estimated based on
          the Company’s ownership interest in the Blackdome operation facilities
          and estimated costs to reclaim and abandon the claims and leases and
          the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods.
          The Company has estimated the net present value of its total asset retirement
          obligations to be $96,031 as at December 31, 2003, based on a total
          future liability of $200,000. These payments are expected to be made
          in the event of the abandonment of the property or during mining activity.
          Since no abandonment plans are being considered and the property is
          at a developmental and feasibility stage the Company has assumed the
          payments to be made in 10 years time. The Company’s credit adjusted
          risk free rate of seven percent and an inflation rate of two percent
          were used to calculate the net present value of the asset retirement
          obligation.

|**8**    | **Claims and option interests** **a) Zenda claim and option interest**
        The Company has a 100% interest in the Zenda Gold Mine located near
          Bakersfield, California. The agreement requires the Company to issue
          to the vendors a maximum of 2,050,000 common shares, of which 1,000,000
          common shares have been issued. Under the terms of the agreement, the
          vendors are the operator and, upon the raising of financing by the Company,
          are required to construct the facility. The vendors can earn up to an
          additional 550,000 shares dependant upon completing the facility at
          various cost levels compared to the approved capital cost budget. The
          final 500,000 shares will be issued when the Company recovers its pre-production
          expenses.
        The vendors retain a 25% net profits interest after capital payback

|         | **d) RC claim and option interest**
        On May 23, 2002, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an
          option to purchase the twenty unpatented claims of the RC Project, an
          early stage gold exploration project located in Elko County, Nevada.
          The agreement with the optionor includes forty-one unpatented mining
          claims staked by the Company adjacent to the original twenty. The agreement
          grants all mineral and mining rights to the property for a ten-year
          term, which is renewable for additional ten-year terms. Following the
          cumulative expenditure of US$500,000, the Company has an option to purchase
          100% of the property, subject to royalty payments, for US$20,000. A
          three percent Net Smelter Royalty interest is retained by the optionor,
          of which two percentage points are purchasable by the Company for US$1,000,000
          per percentage point. The AMR payments are deductible from any production

|         | **e) HC option interest**
        On May 23, 2002, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an
          option to purchase the twenty unpatented claims of the HC Project, an
          early stage gold exploration project located in Eureka County, Nevada.
          The agreement with the optionor includes thirty unpatented mining claims
          staked by the Company adjacent to the original twenty. The agreement
          grants all mineral and mining rights to the property for a ten-year
          term, which is renewable for additional ten-year terms. Following the
          cumulative expenditure of US$500,000, the Company has an option to purchase
          100% of the property, subject to royalty payments, for US$20,000. A
          three percent Net Smelter Royalty interest is retained by KM, of which
          two percentage points are purchasable by the Company for US$1,000,000
          per percentage point. The AMR payments are deductible from any production

|         | **f) Elizabeth claim and option interest**
        On May 23, 2002, the Company entered into option-to-purchase agreements
          for the four crown granted mineral claims known as the “Elizabeth
          Property” and for surrounding mineral claims known as the “Blue
          Claims” in the Lillooet Mining District, British Columbia, Canada.
          In October 2002, the Company staked an additional 24 mineral claims.
          Collectively, the claims are referred to as the “Elizabeth Project.”
          The property is an early-stage exploration project, located roughly
          35 kilometres northeast of the former gold mining town of Bralorne and
          30 kilometres south of the company’s Blackdome Gold Mine.
        Crown Grants
          The agreement includes a $500,000 exploration work commitment wherein
          $200,000 is to be completed by December 31, 2003, $150,000 by December
          31, 2004, and $150,000 by December 31, 2005. The optionors retain a

| | **Stock based compensation** Effective
          January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS
          No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, as amended,
          prospectively for all new awards granted to employees on or after January
          1, 2003. Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company accounted for employee
          stock based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions
          of Accounting Principles Blard (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting
          for Stock Issued to Employees and Related Interpretations”.
        During 2002, the fair value of each option granted to employees and
          directors has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
          option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free rate
          2.45%, dividend yield 0%; volatility of 123%; and 4.10 years of expected
          lives. The weighted average fair value of options granted to directors
          and employees during is $0.17.
        Had compensation expense been recognized in 2002 on the basis of fair
          value pursuant to SFAS No. 123, loss for the year and loss per share
          would have been as follows:

| | The company has non-capital loss carry forwards of approximately
        $4,569,000 that may be available for tax purposes. The potential benefit
        of these losses has not been recognized as a future income tax benefit,
        as currently these amounts are less than likely to be realized.
        The Company has $5,003,000 in Canadian exploration and development
          expenses which may be carried forward indefinitely and offset against
          future Canadian taxable income. In connection with the issuance of flow
          through shares, the Company has renounced, to the shareholders, the
          tax benefits associated with $495,000 in Canadian exploration expenditures
          incurred in 2002 and $270,000 in Canadian exploration expenditures incurred
          in 2003.

|**18** | **Subsequent events** a) Subsequent to December
          31, 2003, the Company completed a private placement for the issuance
          of 1,400,000 units at $0.55 for proceeds of $770,000 to the company.
          Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant.
          One share warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of
          the company at a price of $0.75 on or before January 14, 2006.
        b) On February 12, 2004, the Company entered into an option to purchase
          100% of 112 staked claims and 32 map designated cells (totaling 3,552
          hectares) in Montgolfier and Orvilliers Townships, Quebec. The agreement
          with Ressources D. Villeneuve Inc. (“RDV”) will also include
          16 additional adjacent mining claims staked by J-Pacific. Upon regulatory
          approval, the Company will make a payment of $40,000 and issue 50,000
          shares to RDV. Regulatory approval was received on February 17, 2004.
        c) On February 13, 2004 the Company extended for an additional three-year
          period 100,000 stock options due to expire March 13, 2004.
        d) Between January 19, 2004 and February 18, 2004 the Company issued
          828,332 shares pursuant to the exercising of warrants for proceeds of
          $251,833.
        e) On March 2, 2004, the Company announced that it had signed a letter
          of intent with Jipangu Inc. of Tokyo, Japan allowing Jipangu to earn
          a 50% interest in J-Pacific’s Golden Trend and HC properties in
          Nevada. The letter of intent is subject to the completion of a definitive
          option agreement, the satisfactory completion of Jipangu’s due
          diligence, and the receipt of the required regulatory approvals. Jipangu
          is a private Japanese company focused on investments in the gold sector
          and is J-Pacific’s largest shareholder, owning approximately 34.7%
          of J-Pacific’s outstanding common shares. 
          Jipangu can earn a 50% interest in the projects by funding exploration
          over a four year period in the aggregate amount of US$2,750,000 in
          the case of the Golden Trend Project, and US$1,750,000 in the case
          of the HC Project. Jipangu will make cash payments of US$150,000 upon
          execution of the definitive option agreement, US$150,000 on the first
          anniversary thereof and payments of US$200,000 on succeeding anniversary
          dates until the option is exercised. Jipangu is responsible for annual
          claim maintenance fees and advance royalty payments. 
          Upon exercise of the option on either of the properties, the companies
          will form a joint venture with J-Pacific as the operator. Jipangu will
          have the right thereafter to earn an additional 15% interest in each
          property by completing an independent feasibility study and by financing
          the property into commercial production.
