Exhibits 102    4  SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Except for statements of historical fact, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward looking statements are usually, but not always, identified by our use of certain terminology, including will, believes, may, expects, should, seeks, anticipates or intends or by discussions of strategy or intentions.  Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results or achievements to be materially different from any future results or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Such factors include, among others, our history of operating losses and uncertainty of future profitability; our lack of working capital and uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern; uncertainty of access to additional capital; risks inherent in mineral exploration; environmental liability claims and insurance as well as those factors discussed in the sections entitled Risk Factors, Information On The Company and Operating And Financial Review And Prospects.  If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materializes, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected, estimated or projected.  Forward looking statements in this document are not a prediction of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur.  Given these uncertainties, users of the information included herein, including investors and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.  We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements.  The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce.  Information contained in this annual report related to mineralization may be strictly prohibited in SEC filings for U.S. registered companies under the SEC guidelines.  The Company is an exploration stage company and its properties have no known body of ore.

Identity of Directors, Senior Management and Advisers  Not applicable  Item 2. Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable  Not applicable   6  Item 3. Key Information  We were incorporated as Proven Capital Corp. on April 25, 1994 under the Business Corporations Actof Alberta (the Business Corporations Act).  We changed our name to Cedar Capital Corp. on January 10, 1995 and subsequently to Vancan Capital Corp. on February 12, 2002.  On May 14, 2004, we changed our name to Max Resource Corp.  We are in the business of mineral property exploration and development.  The recoverability of amounts recorded for mineral properties and related deferred costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, our ability to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and future production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.  We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to complete the exploration and development of our mineral properties.  Such outside capital will include the sale of additional stock.  There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet these continuing exploration and development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us.  The issuances of additional stock by the Company may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.  If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, our business and future success may be adversely affected.  Our ability to continue operations as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary financing.  To date, we have not generated any revenues from operations and will require additional funds to meet our obligations and the costs of our operations.  As a result, significant losses are anticipated prior to the generation of any profits.  We are a reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta and trade in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol MXR.   We are quoted in the United States on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol MXROF.  We were listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on March 2, 2006 under the symbol M1D.  3.A Selected Financial Data  This data is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (Canadian GAAP) and reconciled to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).  The following selected financial data has been extracted from the more detailed consolidated financial statements included herein (stated in Canadian Dollars, being the foreign currency our financial statements are denominated in, see Currency and Exchange Rates) and is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds  Not Applicable    8  D. Risk Factors  Any investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk.  You should consider carefully the following information before you decide to buy our common shares.  If any of the events discussed in the following risk factors actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer.  In this case, the market price of our common shares could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our shares.  In particular, you should consider carefully the following risk factors:   We have a history of losses.  We have historically incurred losses and have no revenue from operations.  We incurred losses from operations of $1,093,554for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and losses of $722,158 and $464,981 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.   As of December 31, 2007, we had a cumulative deficit of $3,607,852.  There can be no assurance that either the Company or our subsidiary will achieve profitability in the future or at all.  We have not identified any commercially viable mineral deposits.  We have not commenced development or commercial production on any of our properties.  We have no history of earnings or cash flow from operations.  We do not have a line of credit and our only present source of funds available may be through the sale of our equity shares or assets.  Even if the results of exploration are encouraging, we may not have the ability to raise sufficient funds to conduct further explorations to determine whether a commercially mineable deposit exists on any of our properties.  While additional working capital may be generated through the issuance of equity or debt, the sale of properties or possible joint venturing of the properties, we cannot assure you that any such funds will be available for operations on acceptable terms, if at all.  Very few mineral properties are ultimately developed into producing mines.  At present, none of our properties have a known body of ore and all our proposed exploration programs are an exploratory search for ore.   The business of exploration for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk.  Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore.  Substantial expenditures will be required for us to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes, to extract the metal from the ore and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.  Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineral deposit, no assurance can be given that we will discover minerals in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that we can obtain the funds required for development on a timely basis.  The economics of developing precious and base metal mineral properties is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in metal markets, costs of processing equipment and other factors such as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.  Additional financing may be needed for our business operations.  As at December 31, 2007, we had cash on hand of $7,661,128.  We have sufficient working capital to fund our exploration activities on our properties in Alaska, New Mexico, Arizona and the Northwest Territories through   9  fiscal 2008.  Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims.  While we believe we have sufficient working capital to fund our activities through our 2008 fiscal year, we will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once we complete exploration on any mineral properties we acquire.  We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required.  We believe the only realistic source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital.  Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.  Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk against which we are not currently insured.  Unusual or unexpected rock formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs.  We have relied on and will continue to rely upon consultants and others for exploration expertise.  It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and we may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons.  Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of our common stock.  We may require permits and licenses that we may not be able to obtain.  Our operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to conduct exploration, development and mining operations at any projects we acquire.  Our properties may not have been examined in detail by a qualified mining engineer or geologist.  Our properties are in an exploratory stage.  As a result, they may not have been examined in detail by a qualified mining engineer or geologist who could quantify exactly what their economic potential or value, if any, is.  Metal prices fluctuate widely.  Our business activities are significantly affected by the prices of precious metals and base metals on international markets.  The price of minerals affects our ability to raise financing, the commercial feasibility of our properties, the future profitability of our properties should they be developed and our future business prospects.  The prices of precious metals and base metals fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the strength of the U.S. dollar and of other currencies, interest rates, and global or regional political or economic crisis.  The demand for and supply of precious metals and base metals may affect precious metals and base metals prices but not necessarily in the same manner as supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities.  The resource industry is very competitive.  Significant competition exists for the limited number of property acquisition opportunities available.  As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than our Company, we may be unable to acquire attractive mining properties on terms we consider acceptable.  Competition in the precious metals mining industry is primarily for mineral rich  10  properties which can be developed and exploited economically; the technical expertise to find, develop, and produce such properties; the labor to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of funding such properties.  Many competitors not only explore for and mine precious metals and minerals but conduct refining and marketing operations on a worldwide basis.  Such competition may result in our being unable to acquire desired properties, to recruit or retain qualified employees or to acquire the capital necessary to fund our operations and develop our properties.  Our inability to compete with other mining companies for these resources may have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and business.  There can be no assurance that our exploration and acquisition programs will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.  Our operations may be adversely affected by environmental regulations.  Our operations may be subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time.  Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, release or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution.  A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties.  In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments.  Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner, which means that standards, enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent.  Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for us and our directors, officers and consultants.  The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of our operations.  We do not maintain environmental liability insurance.  The trading market for our shares is not always liquid.  Although our shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, the volume of shares traded at any one time can be limited, and, as a result, there may not be a liquid trading market for our shares.  In addition, trading volumes in our common shares can be volatile and if the trading volume of our common shares experiences significant changes, the price of our common shares could be adversely affected.  The price of our common shares could also be significantly affected by factors, many of which are beyond our control.  Our securities may be subject to penny stock regulation.  Our stock is subject to penny stock rules as defined in 1934 Securities and Exchange Act Rules.  The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Our 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.  11  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 our common shares in the United States and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.  We will likely be classified as a passive foreign investment company during the current taxable year, which will have significant negative tax consequences for U.S. holders.  We believe we were a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) during the year ended December 31, 2007, and based on current business plans and financial projections, we expect that we will be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year.  Whether we will be a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2008 and each subsequent taxable year depends on our assets and income over the course of each such taxable year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this Annual Report.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the determination made by us concerning our PFIC status for any taxable year.  United States income tax legislation contains rules which result in significant negative tax consequences on U.S. Holders of PFICs.  A US Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC may mitigate such negative tax consequences by making certain income tax elections.  U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our Common Shares.  See the section below entitled Taxation  United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.  We are a foreign corporation and most of our directors and officers are outside of the United States, which may make enforcement of civil liabilities difficult.  We are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada.  All of our directors and officers are residents of Canada, with the exception of Clancy Wendt (who resides in the United States), and part of our assets are located outside of the United States.  Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon those directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgements of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  A judgement of a US court predicated solely upon such civil liabilities would probably be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the US court in which the judgement 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 us predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.  Item 4.  Information on the Company  4.A History and Development of the Company  We were incorporated as Proven Capital Corp. on April 25, 1994 under the Business Corporations Actof Alberta.

We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets.  We are engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring resource properties.  Principal Expenditures And Divestitures  Since the beginning of the last three financial years, our principal capital expenditures and divestitures have been comprised of the following:  The Gold Hill Property (Alaska):  On May 17, 2004, we entered into an Option Agreement with Zazu Exploration, Inc. (Zazu) to acquire its option to acquire a 90% interest, or ownership, in the Gold Hill Property near Cantwell, Alaska. Zazu Exploration, Inc. is a privately-held Texas corporation, which holds a Lease on the Gold Hill Claims from GCO Minerals Company.  Under the terms of the Option Agreement, we paid $63,691 (US$48,200) and issued 100,000 shares valued at $47,000 and 100,000 warrants exercisable at $0.47 per share for a two year period.  In order to maintain the Option, we issued an additional 200,000 shares effective December 31, 2004 (issued at a value of $74,000) and issued a further 200,000 shares effective December 31, 2005 (issued at a value of $120,000).  With the issuance of the 200,000 shares, we have exercised the option to assume Zazus interest and have now acquired the option to earn a 90% interest in the Gold Hill Property from GCO Minerals, as described below.  Under the terms of the Option Agreement, we have assumed all of Zazus obligations, including the obligation to make annual payments to maintain the claims comprising the Gold Hill Property, under their lease with GCO Minerals Corp. (GCO) which include the following minimum work commitments and Advance Royalty Payments (in U.S. funds), as amended effective November 23, 2006:  Year Work Commitment Cumulative Work Commitment Advance Royalty 2004  $100,000 (incurred) $100,000 $ 5,000 (paid) 2005 150,000 (incurred)  250,000 15,000 (paid) 2006 (deferred to 2007) 250,000 25,000 (paid) 2007 250,000 (incurred) 500,000 25,000 (paid) 2008 250,000 (incurred) 750,000 50,000 (paid) 2009 500,000  1,250,000 75,000 2010 500,000 1,750,000 100,000 2011 500,000 2,250,000 100,000   13  Upon exercise of the option, our 90% interest will be subject to a net smelter return (NSR) and back-in rights to GCO that would allow GCO to buy back up to a 30% interest in the Gold Hill claims by paying us the lesser of  US$5,000,000 or 300% of all costs incurred to completion of a Feasibility Report.  The NSR will fluctuate from 1.5% to 4.0% depending on the price of gold.  In addition, we will pay to Zazu an additional NSR of 1%.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, we spent a total of $747,221 on exploration of the Gold Hill property.  This amount was comprised of $90,900 for geological consulting services, $375,291 for drilling and assaying, $260,680 for field expenses, $6,330 for licensing and $14,020 for travel.  C de Baca Project (New Mexico):  In September 2005, we announced that we had entered into an agreement with Applied Geological Services, Inc. of Denver, Colorado for the acquisition of a total of 108 uranium exploration claims (the Dat Claims) in Socorro County, New Mexico.  Consideration for the acquisition of the Dat Claims (known also as the C de Baca Project) is an immediate US$10,000 cash payment with annual payments of US$10,000 until production.  After production, a royalty of 2% of revenues is payable until such time as a total of US$500,000 (including the initial cash payment and annual payments) has been paid.  The obligation to make payments to Applied Geologic Services can be terminated at anytime by us by providing notice that we are abandoning the Dat Claims and agreeing to transfer them back to the vendor.  The C de Baca Project is located approximately 14 miles north of the town of Magdalena and 100 miles south of the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The claims have excellent road access by both gravelled and cross county roads.  In April 2008 we staked an additional 83 mineral claims at C de Baca, increasing our holdings to 191 claims.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, we spent $200,689 on exploration of the C de Baca Project.  This total was comprised of drilling and assays of $136,683, geological consulting of $49,162, field expenses of $2,967 and filing fee and permitting expense of $11,877.  MacInnis Lake Uranium Project (Northwest Territories):  We entered into an option agreement dated April 1, 2005, as amended April 11, 2006, (the Option Agreement) with Alberta Star Development Corp. (Alberta Star) to acquire up to a 50% interest or ownership in the MacInnis Lake Uranium Property.  We closed the transaction on April 19, 2005.  The terms of the Option Agreement with Alberta Star call for us to earn the 50% interest by:  (i) making cash payments totaling $30,000 (paid); (ii) issuing to Alberta Star of 200,000 of our shares (which have been issued); and (iii) performing exploratory work commitments totalling $2,000,000 over a five year period (being $750,000 on or before October 1, 2008; $250,000 on or before April 30, 2009; $750,000 on or before October 1, 2009 and $250,000 on or before April 1, 2010).

acres).  An additional 32 claims totaling 3,560 acres were staked in June, 2004.  The claims, both in the GH and the SUS series, are state, not federal, unpatented lode claims. The claims are unpatented and, as a result, an annual maintenance fee is required to be paid to maintain them.   24  Maintaining the claims in good standing in the State of Alaska:  Under the State of Alaskas Annual Rental Law (Alaska Statute 38.05.211, enacted 1989) all locators and holders of State mining locations must pay to the state an annual cash rental in order to keep the claims in good standing.  For all traditional mining claims and 1⁄4 - 1⁄4 section locations (about 40 acres) the annual rental amount is $25/year for the first five years, $55/year for the second five years and $130/year thereafter.  For all 1⁄4 section locations (about 160 acres), the annual rental amount is $100/year for the first five years, $220/year for the second five years and $520/year thereafter.  The dates of our claims are disclosed in the claims table above.  They vary from 1988 to 2004 and are primarily either 40 acres or 160 acres.  The payment for each rental year is due September 1 of any given year and is payable no later than November 30 in that year.  For 2008, we must pay approximately US$6,050 in lease payments to maintain our Alaska claims in good standing.  The claims do not have an expiration date so long as these annual rent payments are made.  History of Exploration and Status:  The property was first drilled as a joint venture between Dome Exploration and Cities Service Company in 1972. They were exploring for molybdenum and did not find an economic deposit so they left the property. General Crude Oil (GCO) acquired the property in 1983 and explored the property for gold.  They did geologic mapping, soil geochemistry, a VLF-EM survey and drilled five diamond drill holes. The best intersection from this drilling was 11.5 feet which averaged 0.668 ounces per ton.  In 1988, Amax Gold entered into a joint venture with GCO.  They completed geologic mapping, rock sampling, soil geochemical surveys and VLF-EM geophysical surveys, select metallic screen fire assays and preliminary cyanide bottle roll metallurgical tests and 5,885 feet of reverse circulation drilling in 21 drill holes.  The target was to find a bulk tonnage open pittable deposit.  Amax did not find significant thick intervals of low grade mineralization and dropped the property.  High grade gold intervals were encountered in drill holes AUH 7, 16, and 17.  Hole 7 contained five feet of 0.18 opt Au,  Hole 16 contained five feet of 0.46 opt Au, five feet of 0.23 opt Au and five feet of 0.66 opt Au, and Hole 17 contained five feet of 0.19 opt Au.  These holes are open along strike and, since they were drilled with a reverse circulation drill rig which encountered large quantities of water, they should be re-examined to see if loss of gold might have occurred.  Gold Hill is an intrusion related gold system which has many of the characteristics of a Tintina Gold Belt system. The dominant rock types consist of argillite, metasiltstone, greywacke, carbonaceous schist and a small wedge-shaped fault block of tuffaceous metasedimentay and metavolcaniclastic rocks. Early to mid-Teritary monzonite and diorite stocks, plugs and dikes intrude the metasiltstone units on Gold Hill and the tuffaceous metasedimentary sequences on West Hill located in the western part of the property.  Hydrothermal alteration is pervasive throughout the property.  Quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration is particularly evident around the summit of Gold Hill and to a lesser extent in the vicinity of the Swale area, a low saddle located just east of West Hill.  The gold mineralization is thought to be related to the intrusions and pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, molybdenum, and gold are found in veins and as disseminations in the host rocks. The mineralization occurs as disseminations and on fractures and appears to be structurally-controlled. The alteration and mineralization occur over an area of at least two square miles.  All of the creeks contain placer gold and have been worked in the past.  Interpretation of the geophysics indicates that there are a number of buried intrusives present on the property which have not been explored.  25  On acceptance for filing of this Option Agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange, the two principals of Zazu joined our team on June 23, 2004, with Gil Atzmon joining our Board of Directors and Clarence J. Wendt agreeing to oversee our exploration as well as search for additional properties.  On June 29, 2004 we announced that drilling had begun on the Gold Hill project, with the initial phase of the diamond drilling designed to test previous high grade mineralization encountered in prior drilling by Amax and General Crude Oil.  The program consisted of 7 diamond drill holes planned to intersect previously found values that included 1.5 meters of 15.0 grams per ton (gpt), 1.5 meters of 8 gpt, 1.5 meters of 22.9 gpt, 1.2 meters of 15.6 gpt, and 1.10 meters of 54.3 gpt.  Values of 8.6 ppm were found by the United States Bureau of Mines in a regional sampling program of the surface.  This area will be sampled and mapped to find the extent of these high grade surface samples.  In addition, we staked a 1,659 hectare area west of the Gold Hill property.  This encompasses areas of high grade outcrops that were explored during the drill program.  Significant values of gold (2.5 feet of 0.25 ounces per ton) were found in a sample from the Gold Creek Area. This sample also contained 0.57% copper.  Within the same creek, values of tungsten (0.19% WO3) were also found.  In addition, confirmation assays to verify the previous work done by Amax Exploration were completed. Drill holes 7, 13, and 16 contained significant values of gold.  The assays confirm the previous assays and show the variation in gold numbers within the same sample.

We believe that our review of the original pulps from AMAX shows that AMAX did work to industry standards.  The drilling at Gold Hill was completed by July 21, 2004, with the core being split at Alaskan Earth Sciences in Anchorage, Alaska and then shipped to American Assay Laboratories of Reno, Nevada for analysis.  The results of this first phase drilling were released on September 14, 2004.  The results are as follows:  26  HQ Core

After logging the core, the core was marked and split using a standard hydraulic core splitter.  The core was then split, half of the sample was put into the core box for future work and the other half was put into a bag and sent to the geochemical laboratory.  American Assay Labs of Reno Nevada was chosen to do the assay work.   American Assay Labs follows Mineral Exploration Best Practices Guidelines in their batch sizes, sample preparation, fire assay procedures, geochemical analyses, quality control and reporting procedures.  The lab is certified under ISO17025 certification for their QA/QC protocols.  The lab inserts for quality control four (4) duplicate samples, two (2) certificate standards and one reagent blank.  If problems are encountered they rerun the entire batch.  Control samples are submitted as part of the assay work process which helps to create a series of checks on the process and an audit trail.  The new zones identified include a major structure with approximately one meter of mineralization grading 14.4 gpt gold and 0.18% copper, and a sheeted zone where values of 7.9 gpt gold and 1.1% copper were found in the fractures.  Petrographic work indicated that the drill core is almost all diorite to intermediate composition intrusive rocks.  Polished section work showed that gold is found in a free state and is related to the intrusions. Pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, molybdenum, native copper, and gold are found in veins and as disseminations in the host rocks.  On July 30th 2007, we began a five hole diamond drill program to test molybdenum exploration targets at Gold Hill in Alaska.  The drill campaign was designed to test a broad Molybdenum/Copper/Gold geochemistry and geophysical magnetic anomaly covering a 700m by 800m area.  We planned this drill program to confirm the reliability and relevance of original data collected and contained in internal reports by Dome Mines Ltd., Cities Services Minerals, GCO Minerals of Houston, Texas, Amax Exploration Inc. and Hemlo Gold Mines (USA).  At least 2,550 soil samples, 239 rock samples, 1,905 drill samples and an unknown number of channel samples from 2,900 feet of trenches have been taken on the property. Ground  27  and airborne geophysical surveys have been conducted over the property which had identified magnetic highs which were then targeted for base metal and molybdenum mineralization.  On August 29, 2007, we announced assays received from the top half of drill hole DH-07-1 on the Gold Hill Molybdenum Property in Alaska.  Assays for the top 540 feet returned 0.054% MoS2and included a 250 foot intercept of 0.08%MoS2.  This hole was drilled to a depth of 965 feet, with the results form the remainder of the hole available in early October and returning 0.041% MoS2 over a core length of 425 feet.  Together with the previously reported intersection, Hole DH-07-01 assayed a total of 0.048% MoS2 over the entire core length of 965 feet.  The best interval occurs as 250 feet of 0.080% MoS2 beginning at 260 feet down hole.  Further, Hole DH-07-01 ended in molybdenum mineralization grading 0.054% MoS2.  Anomalous and dispersed values in copper were also reported. Copper mineralization occurs in core as chalcopyrite. These intervals are located at various areas throughout the drill hole, as indicated in the following table:  Drill Hole Interval (feet) Width (feet) Mineralization  Molybdenum Results  DH 07-1 0-965 feet 965 feet 0.048% MoS2 (0.029% Mo) 540-965 425 feet 0.041% MoS2 (0.025% Mo) Including 0-540 540 feet 0.054% MoS2(0.033% Mo) 260-510 250 feet 0.080% MoS2(0.048% Mo) 855-915 60 feet 0.058% MoS2 (0.035% Mo)  Copper Results  0-250 feet 250 feet 0.0266 % Cu Including 130-200 70 feet 0.043% Cu 755-815 60 feet 0.026% Cu 845-965 120 feet 0.028% Cu  On October 17, 2007, we announced assays from a further two diamond drill holes on the Gold Hill Molybdenum Property in Alaska.  Drill hole DH-07-03 returned 0.058% MoS2 over a core length of 1,000 feet, which included a higher grade intercept of 0.18% MoS2 (0.107% Mo) over 45 feet.  Anomalous and dispersed values in copper were also reported; these intervals are located at various depths throughout the drill hole (see table below).  The results for DH 07-03 are as follows:  Drill Hole Depth (feet) Interval (feet) Mineralization  Molybdenum Results  DH 07-03  0-1000 1000 feet 0.058% MoS2 (0.035% Mo) Including  0-750 750 feet 0.0734% MoS2(0.044% Mo) Including 135-180 45 feet 0.18% MoS2 (0.107% Mo) Including 445-485 40 feet 0.135% MoS2 (0.081% Mo)  Copper Results 0-320 320 feet 0.0226 % Cu 500-1000 500 feet 0.045% Cu  28  Drill Hole DH-07-02 also had moderately lower molybdenum values over the entire length of the drill hole but slightly better copper values, which is indicative of a typical zoning pattern usually found in a porphyry system.  The results for DH 07-02 are as follows:  Drill Hole Depth (feet) Interval (feet) Mineralization  Molybdenum Results  DH 07-02 0-1000 1000 feet 0.030% MoS2 (0.0167%Mo)  Copper Results 0-430 430 feet 0.054% Cu 430-605 175 feet 0.0215% Cu  On November 19, 2007, we announced assays from the final two diamond drill holes on the Gold Hill Molybdenum Property in Alaska.  Drill hole DH-07-05 returned 0.0466% MoS2 over a core length of 822feet, which included a higher grade intercept of 352 feet of .0706%MoS2.  Drill hole DH-07-05 was an angled drill hole designed to test across the mineralization that was intersected in drill holes DH-07-02 and DH-07-03.  The drill hole did not cut the entire interval and mineralization was visibly increasing at the bottom of the drill hole as it neared the projection of the main zone.  This hole will be continued during drilling next season.  Anomalous and dispersed values in copper were also reported.  Copper mineralization occurs in core as chalcopyrite.  These intervals are located at various depths throughout the drill hole.  Drill Hole DH-07-04 was a vertical hole. This hole reports good molybdenum values over the entire core length of 1000 feet, which included a 250 foot interval of 0.0603% MoS2.  This hole also reported better copper values.  Again, this is a typical zoning pattern usually found in many porphyry style systems.

It was logged for rock type, alteration, structure, and recorded with detailed descriptions.  Core was split using a hydraulic core splitter and one-half was sent to the Alaska Assay Laboratories.  The other half is kept at our core storage facility in Anchorage.  Drill holes were sampled at five foot sample intervals.  Samples were delivered in sealed bags to the Alaska Assay Labs facility in Fairbanks, Alaska for sample preparation.  Alaska Labs is using a 2 acid digestion and a 30 Element AES ICP Scan. 29  Sample Preparation quality control at Alaska Assay Labs includes strict chain of custody documentation, careful logging of samples documentation, careful cleaning of all equipment documentation, and careful monitoring of crush and grind particle size documentation, and careful protocol documentation following ISO9002/17025 guidelines.  We have retained a drill contractor for a minimum 12 hole, 12,000 foot drill program that is scheduled to begin in June 2008 and is aimed at expanding the known area of intrusive mineralization.  A secondary target that emerged from the 2007 program was mineralization identified in sediments to the east that indicate a skarn system may be present as well;  this are will also be tested during the 2008 drill campaign.  The Target Claims  By agreement dated April 16, 2003, we obtained the right to acquire a 50% interest or ownership in a mineral claim comprising 1,781.9 acres located in the Longtom Lake area of the Northwest Territories (the Target 1 Claim).  We acquired our 50% interest by paying $15,000 and issuing 200,000 common shares at a price of $0.38 per share.  By agreement dated January 15, 2003, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest or ownership in a mineral claim located east of Hottah Lake in the Northwest Territories of Northern Canada (the Target 2 Claim).  We acquired our 50% interest in the claim by making cash payments totalling $15,000, issuing 200,000 common shares at a price of $0.20 each and agreeing to incur a minimum of $100,000 (since reduced to $50,000, which amount has already been incurred) in exploration expenditures on the Claim in stages by December 31, 2004.  Both of the Target Claims Agreements provided that we would enter into a single purpose joint venture agreement with David G. Lorne, or whoever he assigns his 50% interest to, to further explore and develop the Target Claims once we complete the exploration expenditure of our interest in each claim.  Mr. Lorne has sold his 50% interest in the Target 1 and Target 2 claim to Alberta Star Development Corp., a Canadian company which trades on the TSX-Venture Exchange as we do.  The Target Claims (the Target 1 and Target 2 claims) together comprise the Longtom Lake project or Longtom Project.   References in this Form 20F to the Longtom Lake project should be interpreted as being references to the Target Claims and vice versa.  The Company has abandoned its interest in the Target 2 claim but intends to maintain its interest in the Target 1 claim.  Description, Location and Access:  The Target 1 claim is located on the east side of Longtom Lake and covers 1,781.9 acres.  The Target 2 claim is located at the north end of Longtom Lake and covers 2,530.8 acres.  The area is known as the Great Bear Magmatic Zone, a north-trending belt measuring 350 kilometres long and 120 kilometres wide.  The Claims have not been prospected in detail and have no known mineralization.  The claims have no known mineral zones, mineral resources or mineral reserves.  The climate in the vicinity of the Longtom Lake area is severe with long, cold winters and short, warm summers.  Exploration is best conducted during the summer or in late winter.  Access to the Target Claims is entirely by aircraft: by float airplane in summer and ski-equipped airplanes in winter.  The sufficiency of surface rights for mining operations, and the availability of power, water, tailings storage areas, waste disposal areas, heap leach pad sites and potential processing plant sites has not been addressed.  Territorial mining operations rely to a large extent upon the nearby city of Yellowknife, which lies 350 km southeast of the claim area, and southern Canada as a source of skilled miners, tradespersons and labor.  30  There is no electricity available at the property site, with surface water abundant within the property boundariesThe following map shows the location of the Longtom Project:   [f20f2007002.jpg]    31  The following is a map of the Longtom Property claim blocks and their location:  [f20f2007003.jpg]  32  The claim numbers are as follows:  Claim Name Date Recorded Record No. Acreage  Target 1 October 28, 2002 F71013 1,756.10 Target 2 October 28, 2002 F71014 2,530.80  Maintaining the claims in good standing in the Canadian Northwest Territories:  Title to the claims conveys conditional mineral rights without surface rights.  The claims are valid (they are maintained and do not expire) until the second anniversary and thereafter if, in each year, the sum of $4.00 per acre has been expended in exploration work on the claim.  To maintain the claims in good standing, the work must be reported to the Office of the Mining Recorder on Form 9, and this form must be forwarded along with applicable fees (currently $0.10/acre).  Work in excess of the minimum requirement was completed during the summer of 2003 and reported to the Mining Recorder on March 22, 2005.  In June 2005, we received notice of the lapse date for the Target 2 Claim of October 10, 2005.  We elected to let the permit lapse, as evidenced by the Notice of Lapsing received November 29, 2005 from Indian and Northern Affairs Mining Recorders Office and pursuant to subsection 45(1) and section 80 and 82 of the Canadian Mining Regulations. We chose to abandon the property and this has been reflected in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The Target 1 claim is in good standing as of the date of this report.  Representation work and/or cash payments can be applied to maintain the claim only until its tenth anniversary (i.e. October 28, 2012) by which time the claim must be surveyed by a legal surveyor and the survey submitted for registration as a mining lease in accordance with Canada Mining Regulations.  The claims do not have an expiration date as long as these exploration work requirements are met.  History of Exploration and Status:  The potential of the Target Claims is based upon significant exploration work that Alberta Star Development Corp. (TSX-V:ASX; OTC BB: ASXSF) (Alberta Star) has completed on adjacent claims up to 2004.   In October 2002,Alberta Star conducted a gravity survey of the Longtom property to detect potential anomalies caused by the presence of iron oxide, copper and gold mineralization. The ground-helicopter supported gravity survey was conducted over selected portions of the 19,642-acre Longtom claim-block.  The data obtained from the survey is complimented by gravity data collected for Hudsons Bay Exploration and Development Co. Ltd. in 2000 along the shores of Longtom Lake, and by a comprehensive regional gravity survey completed by the Geological Survey of Canada. The objective of the survey was to map the distribution of large masses of variable density.  A total of 243 detailed gravity stations were recorded at 500-meter intervals with some detail infill stations at 250 meters. The gravity survey confirmed the extent of what may be economic mineralization along a large structurally controlled faulting system.  The results show two significant 2.5-3.0 milligal gravity anomalies.  These two gravity anomalies are coincident with the strong magnetic anomalies. The gravity anomalies occur along a 7.5 kilometre long trend and are up to 1.5 kilometres in width.  Combined gravity, magnetic and radiometric anomalies are a common targeting criterion for iron-oxide/copper/gold mineralization and necessary in identifying an economic ore body.  Alberta Star conducted a 20-hole drill program on these adjoining claims during 2003.  The terrain of the Longtom claim block appears to have an abundance of outcropping bedrock exposures and is known to comprise crystalline plutons with compositions apparently ranging from granitic to monzonitic.  Volcanic rocks of rhyodacitic, andesitic and basaltic compositions have been mapped in the northeast most part of the claims.  33  In mid-September 2004, we were advised by Alberta Star that Fronteer Development Group (TSX:FRG) (Fronteer), as operator, had intersected high-grade uranium mineralization on Alberta Stars Longtom Lake property during drilling that it had conducted during the summer of 2004.  The Longtom Lake property is immediately adjacent to our Target 1 Claim jointly held with Alberta Star. Drilling conducted by Fronteer intersected 1.68 per cent U3O8 over one metre at a downhole depth of 80 metres, which was part of a broader interval that returned 0.56 per cent U3O8 over three metres, and 0.16 per cent U3O8 over one metre that was intersected at a depth of 51 metres in the same hole. Drill programs conducted by other operators on the Longtom Lake property had previously intersected anomalous to high-grade uranium.  Within a 300-metre radius of the new discovery, eight historic drill holes had intersected uranium mineralization with indicated values ranging between 0.21 per cent U3O8 over 0.6 metre at a downhole depth of 44.5 metres, and 0.48 per cent U3O8 over 1.5 metres at a downhole depth of 59 metres. We elected to abandon the Target 2 claim during the year ended December 31, 2005 and this resulted in a write down of $55,000 in acquisition costs and $2,000 in deferred exploration costs.  We intend to maintain the Target 1 claim.  No funds were expended on the Target Claims during the fiscal period ended December 31, 2006.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded an impairment charge of $148,097 on the Target 1 Claim as we have not done any work on the property since 2004 and have no immediate plans to do so.  Diamond Peak Property (Nevada)  Description, Location and Access:  The property comprises 38 inclusive, unpatented lode mining claims located 32 miles north of the town of Eureka, Nevada and the Archimedes gold deposit owned by Barrick Gold Corporation.  It is accessible by 50 miles of improved dirt road and partial pavement north from Eureka, Nevada, and from Elko south by 40 miles of pavement and 22 miles of dirt road.  The area supports a strong horse population; many trails crisscross the project area.  There is no water or electricity available at the property site.  Some surface water is available, as streams flow year round through canyons which traverse the property in the center and southern portions of the claim block.  The property is comprised the FMC 31-39, 40-49, 69-75, and 57-68 unpatented lode mining claims represented by Bureau of Land Management Nevada Mining Claim numbers NMC 887137-887155 and NMC 887156-887174 inclusive.  These claims were recorded on December 30, 2004.  See Principal Expenditures and Divestitures.   34  The following map shows the location of the Diamond Peak Project:  [f20f2007004.jpg]  35  History of Exploration and Status  The Diamond Peak Property is a historic MK Gold Gold/Base Metal property that was explored during the late 1990s and is located at the southern end of the prolific Carlin trend, which contains numerous gold deposits.  The property comprises 38 claims located 32 miles north of the town of Eureka, Nevada.  Strong surface mineralization occurs in a 2 mile long band of intensely clay altered rocks, 200 to 300 feet wide, on the hanging wall side of a major north striking normal fault, called the West Fault.  During the work done by MK Gold in 1999, which included 17 holes and 10,085 feet of drilling, MK Gold encountered significant values of gold and base metals that included:  · 5 feet of 0.067 oz/st Au in hole DV 99-4 and 5 feet of 0.062 oz/st Au in hole DV 99-5; and · 11.6 % of Zinc over 5 feet within 60 feet of surface along the West Fault in the Chainman formation in hole DV 99-15.  Although no extensive intervals of mineralization were encountered, the drilling did indicate that more work was needed to find an economic mineralized system.  The recommendations by MK Gold were to continue exploration and drill deep (>2,000 foot) diamond drill holes to the Web and Joana formations.  At the time, the base metal values were not considered as important and were not part of further considerations.  Current prices of zinc, silver, and lead make this a very important target for further exploration.  There are three intrusives that contain significant base and precious metal signatures along their edges.  These have not been drilled and could contain skarn mineralization that may be economic.  Future exploration would include conducting geophysical surveys to better define the intrusive contacts and define drill targets for future work.  We entered into a mineral property option agreement on May 15, 2006 with Kokanee Placer Ltd. (Kokanee), a British Columbia company, whereby we granted to Kokanee the right to acquire up to a 51% interest in the Diamond Peak Property.  Kokanee Placer Ltd. intends to exchange its shares for shares of a company, to be named Kokanee Minerals which will be listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange.  There can be no assurance given that Kokanee Placer Ltd. will succeed in such a reverse merger or listing or that Kokanee Minerals will secure such a listing.  To maintain this agreement in good standing, Kokanee has agreed to annual payments and share issuances to the Company, as more fully described in Item 4. of this Annual Report, and must satisfy the following yearly mineral exploration commitments on the Diamond Peak Property:  i) $100,000 to be spent by Kokanee in the first year of the agreement; (completed) ii) $300,000 in the second year, and iii) $600,000 in the third year.  To date, the Company has not made any expenditures on the Diamond Peak Property.  However, Kokanee has completed a program of exploration on the Diamond Peak Property in order to satisfy their first year obligation of $100,000 in expenditures.   This initial exploration program began on June 6th, 2006 and includes an induced polarization survey over 4 kilometers of strike length.  The results of this survey are pending.  There has been no Canadian NI 43-101 Geological Report, or other recent geological report, completed on the Diamond Peak project.  The historic information provided is for reference only and the reader should not infer or assert that the information is correct, reliable, relevant or accurate and should not be relied upon.   36  Maintaining the claims in good standing in Nevada:  Under Bureau of Land Management rules for the State of Nevada, all holders of State mining locations must pay an annual maintenance fee of US$125 per claim or site by August 31 of the calendar year.   During 2007, these payments were made to the Bureau of Land Management on our behalf by Kokanee pursuant to the terms of their option agreement.  C de Baca Project (New Mexico)  Description, Location and Access:  The C de Baca Project is located approximately 14 miles north of the town of Magdalena and 100 miles south of the town of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The claims have excellent road access by both gravel and cross county roads.  All of the claims are located on U.S. Forest Service Lands.  There is no water or electricity available at the property site, with no surface water available within the property boundaries.  The C de Baca Project was originally comprised of 108 unpatented lode mining claims, the DAT 1 to DAT 108 claims, represented by Bureau of Land Management New Mexico Mining Claim numbers NMMC 887137-887155 and NMMC 887156-887174 inclusive.  These claims were recorded on October 6, 2005.  The project size was expanded in 2008 through our staking of an additional 83 unpatented lode mining mineral claims along the northern and southern boundaries of our current claim block at C de Baca, bringing our total holdings to 191 claims.  The additional 83 claims, the DAT 109 to 191, were recorded on March 18, 2008 and are represented by Bureau of Land Management New Mexico Mining Claim numbers NMMC184704 to NMMC184786 inclusive.  See Principal Expenditures and Divestitures.  The following map shows the location of the C de Baca Project:  [f20f2007005.jpg]  37  Maintaining the claims in good standing in New Mexico:  Under Bureau of Land Management rules for the State of New Mexico Office, all locators and holders of State mining locations must pay an annual maintenance fee of US$125 per claim or site by August 31 of each calendar year.   This amount was paid in August, 2007.  History of Exploration and Status:  The C de Baca Project was explored during the early 1980s by OxyMin, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum.  The uranium host is a 3500+ foot wide south-trending sequence of strongly reduced braided stream deposits grading into a system of alluvial fan and flood plain sediments.  This geochemically well-defined depositional trend favors uranium deposition along the margins of the system where the reduced (altered) sands range in thickness from 150-200 feet.  During the exploration, 216 drill holes were drilled in specific areas of the claim block and roughly defined the eastern limits of the favourable system.   The best drill hole had 7.5 feet of 0.20 U3O8 at a depth of 291 feet.  Due to the geological formations in the area, OxyMin felt that the property may be amenable to in-situ leaching (ISL), subject to further exploration.  On May 21, 2007, we commenced a 14 hole rotary drill program at C de Baca project and, on June 5, 2007, we announced the results from the first drill hole, CDB-1.  These results confirmed a historic drill result achieved by Oxymin of 5.5 feet of 0.043% eU308 at 300 feet and a second mineralized zone of 4 feet of 0.024% eU3O8 at 317 feet down hole.  The results reported by us at CDB-1 were through gamma ray probe readings by Jet West Geophysical Services LLC of Farmington, New Mexico and include:  Hole # Total Depth Interval Mineralization  CDB-1 378.0 feet 300-305.5 0.043% eU3O8 Containing 301.0-301.5 0.06% eU3O8 Containing 301.5-302.0 0.10% eU3O8 Containing 302.0-302.5 0.09% eU3O8 Containing 302.5-303.0 0.05% eU3O8  Second Zone 317.5-321.5 0.024% eU3O8  On June 19, 2007, we announced the results from a further six drill holes, CDB-2 to CDB-7, of which Hole CDB-6 returned 6.5 feet of 0.136% eU3O8 beginning at a depth of 155.5 feet (including 0.368% eU3O8 from 157.5-159.0 feet) and 5 feet of 0.167% eU3O8 from 170 -175 feet.Results include the following:  Hole # Total Depth Interval Mineralization  CDB-2 347 feet 270.0-282.0 0.0226 % eU308 CDB-3 347 feet 261.5-264.5 0.031 % eU308 293.0-297.0 0.014 % eU308 CDB-4 181 feet 160.5-164.0 0.036% eU308 Including 162.0-162.5 0.07% eU308 CDB-5 210 feet 180-182.0 0.019% eU308 184.5-190.0 0.074% eU308 Including 186.5-189.0 0.173% eU308  38  CDB-6 200 feet 155.5-162.0 0.136% eU308 170.0-175.0 0.167% eU308 Including 157.5-159.0 0.368% eU308 Including 173.0-173.5 0.76% eU308 CDB-7 235 feet 201.0-208.0 0.052% eU308 Including 205.0-207.0 0.094% eU308  On July 9, 2007, we announced the results from the final seven drill holes at C de Baca.  Highlights included drill hole CDB-10A, which contained 2.0 feet of 0.065% eU308 at a depth of 295.5 feet.  Results from these drill holes at C de Baca, CDB 8 to CDB-14, along with the first seven holes announced earlier, continue to confirm historic drill results reported by Oxymin in the early 1980s.  Results are tabulated as follows:  Hole # Total Depth Interval Mineralization  CDB-8 248 feet 184.5-194.5 0.0159% eU308 CDB-9 346 feet 306.5-310.0 0.034 % eU308 328.5-330.0 0.015% eU308 CDB-10 311 feet Anomalous CDB-10A 309 feet 295.5-297.5 0.065% eU308 CDB-11 319 feet 286.5-294.0 0.037% eU308 CDB-12 336 feet 202.0-203.5 0.0.012% eU308 CDB-13 229 feet 176.5-180.5 0.0162% eU308 i.a-202.0 0.015% eU308 CBD-14 238 feet 199.5-200.0 0.026% eU308 217.0-217.5 0.025% eU308  This initial 14 hole mud rotary drill program was designed to confirm historic drill results reported by Oxymin duringexploration of the C de Baca Uranium property during the 1980s.  While the results of these drill holes were within expectations, the results from drill hole CDB-10 were affected by the intersection of an unknown basaltic dike.  We drilled an offset hole, CDB-10a, to avoid intersecting the basaltic dike and to better test the main zone of uranium mineralization.This hole successfully encountered 2.0 feet of 0.065% eU308 at a depth of 295.5 feet.  Our future plans for C de Baca include the initiation of various geological, lithological, structural and mineralogical studies to better aid in our understanding of the geology at C de Baca.We have received drill permits for a five hole diamond drill program budgeted at $300,000 to test the lithological and structural controls of the higher grade mineralized zones identified during the 2007 exploration program, including the area of Oxymins drill hole BR-57 (which returned 7.5 feet of 0.20% eU308 beginning at a depth of 297 feet).  This area is also coincident to our drill hole CDB-6, which returned 6.5 feet of 0.136% eU308 beginning at a depth of 155.5 feet, inclusive of 0.368% eU308 from 157.5-159.0 feet, and a further5 feet of 0.167% eU308 from 170 -175 feet.   The drill program will consist of five close-spaced diamond drill holes designed to evaluate the nature of the uranium mineralization and alteration around the mineralization, investigate possible stratigraphic controls on mineralization, evaluate the chemical equilibrium factor, and determine the porosity and permeability of the Baca Formation in the mineralized section.  Gamma, Spontaneous Potential (SP), and Resistivity values were logged by Jet West Geophysical Services LLC of Farmington, New Mexico.  The Gamma portion of the downhole logging tool was calibrated by uranium-industry standard values located in mines at Grants, New Mexico.  In situ uranium grades, expressed as equivalent U3O8 (eU3O8) are calculated using the digital gamma ray values acquired by the downhole logging tool and uranium industry standard techniques for gamma log interpretation.  Downhole gamma log interpretation has historically  39  been found to be an accurate representation of in situ grades for uranium mineralization in the Magdelana District.  Chemical assays of samples will be done and used to determine relative trace element concentrations as a guide to future drilling.  MacInnis Lake Uranium Project  Description, Location and Access:  The MacInnis Lake uranium claim block is comprised of 15 mineral claims totaling 26,204.15 acres and is located in the Nonacho Basin 150 km northeast of Fort Smith, Northwest Territories and 275 km southeast of the city of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.  The claim block is located south of the Great Slave Lake, immediately east of the Taltson River, in an area of subdued terrain, poorly developed drainages and poor quality timber resources.  Access for the purpose of mineral exploration is entirely dependent upon aircraft, float equipped in summer and ski-equipped in winter, or by helicopter all year round, particularly during the freeze-up and break-up periods.   The climate of the MacInnis Lake Uranium Project is similar to that of the Longtom Lake / Target claims described above.  See Principal Expenditures and Divestitures.  There is no electricity available at the property site.  Surface water is abundant within the property boundaries.  The following is a map of the location of the MacInnis Lake uranium claim block:   [f20f2007006.jpg]   40  The claim numbers of the MacInnis Lake uranium claim block are as follows: Claim NameDate Recorded (1)Record NumberAcreageKULT 2March 10, 2005F902572,582.50KULT 3March 10, 2005F902582,582.50KULT 4March 10, 2005F708092,066.00KULT 5April 1, 2005F902602,582.50INN 2May 27, 2005F79832413.20INN 3May 27, 2005F79833619.60INN 4May 27, 2005F798342,324.50INN 5July 5, 2005F798102,324.25INN 6May 27, 2005F798361,613.55INN 7May 27, 2005F798372,530.85INN 8May 27, 2005F798382,479.20INN 9May 27, 2005F79839104.28INN 10May 27, 2005F79840581.75INN 11May 27, 2005F798082,530.85INN 12May 27, 2005F79809849.36  (1) dates given for recording represent the dates the claims were transferred to the registered name of Alberta Star Development Corp.  Original staking dates are not available.   Maintaining the claims in good standing in the Canadian Northwest Territories:  Title to the claims conveys conditional mineral rights without surface rights.  The claims are valid (they are maintained and do not expire) until the second anniversary and thereafter if, in each year, the sum of $4.00 per acre has been expended in exploration work on the claims.  To maintain the claims in good standing, the work must be reported to the Office of the Mining Recorder by Form 9, and this form must be forwarded along with applicable fees (currently $0.10/acre).  The claims are in good standing as of the date of this report.  As work in excess of the minimum requirement was completed during the summer of 2005, sufficient work will have been completed to report to the Office of the Mining Recorder when due in 2007.  Representation work and/or cash payments can be applied to maintain the claim only until its tenth anniversary by which time the claim must be surveyed by a legal surveyor and the survey submitted for registration as a mining lease in accordance with Canada Mining Regulations.  So long as the minimum exploration work is performed on the claims, the claims do not have an expiration date.  History of Exploration and Status:  The MacInnis Lake area is known to have widespread surface uranium mineralization, and contains 28 known high grade uranium showings that were discovered between 1954 and 1988.  Uranium exploration on the MacInnis Lake properties was commenced in 1954 with the discovery of large uranium outcrops and widespread surface uranium mineralization.  Exploration continued extensively until 1988 and the results have been reported by the Geological Survey of Canada.  Uranium exploration involved companies such as Cominco, Shell, PNC, and Uranerz.  The MacIinnis Lake uranium properties are located in the Nonacho Basin, a sandstone terrane of Proterozoic age that rests unconformably on Archean basement formations.   This setting is geologically analogous to the Athabasca Sandstone Basin of Northern Saskatchewan.  The MacInnis Lake uranium occurrences are characterized as an Unconformity Type Uranium system.  The MacInnis lake area is situated 280 km north of Saskatchewans Athabasca Uranium Basin, and is considered one of the Northwest Territories most prospective uranium bearing regions.  Alberta Star has commenced plans to explore and expand uranium drill targets at MacInnis Lake, with preparations underway for a spring and summer exploration season consisting of regional mapping, trenching, reviewing archived drill data and completing a comprehensive regional airborne magnetic and radiometric survey.  Drill targeting will focus on expanding known uranium showings.  41  An airborne Time Domain EM and Magnetic survey was completed at MacInnis Lake in June 2005 with processing of the data expected to be completed by early August.  The airborne survey was conducted by Fugro Airborne Surveys using a Fugros MEGATEM and GEOTEM systems.  This survey was focused on the search for uranium deposits with emphasis on unconformity related deposits like in the Athabasca basin of Saskatchewan.  The deposits in the Athabasca basin are associated with graphitic shear zones in the basement, which display themselves as good to strong conductors.  The surveys covered a total of approximately 950 line kilometers along east-west oriented lines, with 200 meter spacings.  Results from the geophysical survey will be combined with archived historical drill results to assist us in our drill targeting during subsequent exploration.  In September, 2007, we were advised that a High Resolution Aeromagnetic Gradiometer-Radiometric Survey (the Survey) had been completed on the MacInnis Lake uranium project.  The Survey consisted of 2,093 line-kilometers at 100 meter line spacings and was flown by Fugro Airborne Surveys.  We believe that the Survey will provide valuable information which will further enhance our uranium exploration capabilities by clearly showing high definition conductive uranium targets at the MacInnis Lake Uranium Project.  The results from the Survey will be combined with archived historical drill results to assist us in identifying exploration drill targets.   Drilling will be subject to receiving the required regulatory permits.  The MacInnis Lake Uranium Project and claim-block is known to have widespread surface uranium mineralization, and contains 28 high grade uranium outcrops that were drilled extensively by Shell Oil, Uranerz and PNC Exploration between 1954 and 1988.  All uranium exploration and drilling datasets have been archived and recorded by the Geological Survey of Canada and include;  · the DUSSAULT, which has a non-compliant drill indicated inferred resource of 37,000 tons grading 0.17% U308 (the occurrence appears to be open down dip and along strike), values of 0.84% U308intersected over 2 feet and high-grade samples recovered up to 28% U308.  · the COLE,with numerous trench sampleswith U308 values reported as high as 3.16%, 5.13% and 20%; and  · theKULT, which has a surface showing 300m x 500m wide with surface  uranium and copper mineralization that returned grades up to 3.5% Copper and 3.3% U308.  NUSTAR Uranium Project, Colorado Plateau, Arizona    Description, Location and Access:  The NUSTAR uranium claim block is comprised of 427 mineral claims totaling 8,540 acres and is located in the Arizona Strip in Mohave County, Arizona.  The targets are uranium-bearing solution-collapse breccia pipes that were mined during the early 1980s.  The NuStar Project is accessible by 20 miles of improved dirt road and partial pavement south from Colorado City, Arizona.  The claims have excellent road access by both gravel and cross county roads.  There is no water or electricity available at the property site, with no surface water available within the property boundaries.   42  The property is comprised of the ANT 1-170, ANT 171-185, ANT 192-335, ANT 340-367, ANT 369, and ANT 371-439 unpatented lode mining claims represented by Bureau of Land Management Arizona Mining Claim numbers AMC 382332-382502, AMC 382502-382516, AMC 382517-382660, AMC 382661-382668, AMC 382689, and AMC 382690-382758 inclusive. These claims were recorded on May 2, 2007.  See Principal Expenditures and Divestitures.  The following is a map of the location of the Nustar Uranium Project: [f20f2007007.jpg] History of Exploration and Status:  The claims in the NUSTAR prospect area are located on the northwestern trend of uranium deposits in this area of Arizona.  This trend contains the high-grade past producing Hacks Canyon mines, the Arizona 1 mine (currently on standby) and the EZ-1 and EZ-2 breccia pipes recently purchased by Denison Mines Corp. (DML:TSX) from Pathfinder Mines.  The average grade of the uranium ore that has been mined in the Arizona Strip is high compared to the other deposits in the Colorado Plateau and ranges from 0.40% to 0.80% U3O8.   The size of the deposits has historically varied from 400,000 kg (880,000 lbs) to 2,000,000 kg (4,400,000 lbs) of recovered U3O8.  Uranium exploration on the Arizona Strip started in the 1950s with the discovery of uranium outcrops and surface uranium mineralization.  Exploration continued periodically, depending on the price of uranium, until the middle 1980s when essentially all uranium exploration in the U.S. stopped.  Results on much of the work done on this area of the Colorado Plateau are reported in various publications by the USGS and State agencies in Arizona.  Uranium  43  exploration involved companies such as Energy Fuels, Pathfinder Mines, Western Mines (a division of Phelps Dodge), Uranerz, and others.  The NUSTAR uranium occurrences are characterized as a breccia pipe which is thought to be caused by the movement of water through strata creating rubble zones and solution collapses.  The uranium is precipitated within these zones at a reduction/oxidation interface due to changes of the ground water chemistry and/or pressure gradients.  The mineralogy of the breccia pipes is, generally, pyrite, copper, molybdenum, lead, zinc and pitchblende.  The NUSTAR project area is located about 8-10 miles from the EZ pipes and about 20 miles from the Hacks Canyon Mines.  We have initiated plans to explore and expand known uranium drill targets, with preparations underway for a spring and summer exploration season consisting of regional mapping, soil gas acquisition, reviewing archived geologic data and completing a comprehensive regional geologic survey.   Drill targeting will focus on testing known geologic targets and uranium showings.  Under the terms of our agreement with NUSTAR, we purchased a 100% interest in the NUSTAR Claims by making a cash payment to NUSTAR of US$128,100 and issuing 200,000 shares of our common stock, subject to a gross royalty of 4% (the Royalty) of sales revenue from commercial production of uranium from the NUSTAR Claims.   For each breccia pipe identified on the NUSTAR Claims that goes into commercial production, we shall have the right to purchase 3% of the 4% Royalty on that breccia pipe by payment to NUSTAR of $1,000,000.  To date, thirty-four circular or collapsed structures indicative of breccia pipes have been identified on the NUSTAR claims.  We intend to undertake a proprietary radon probe test of these 34 target areas during 2008 in order to identify and prioritize drill targets for later in the year.  Ravin Molybdenum/ Tungsten Property (Lander County, Nevada)  Description, Location and Access:  The Ravin Property is a historic Freeport/Huston Oil and Minerals Metal property that was explored during the late 1970s and early 1980s.  The property is comprised of the MOLY 1-162 unpatented lode mining claims represented by Bureau of Land Management Nevada Mining Claim numbers NMC 964190-964289 and NMC 964290  964351 inclusive. These claims were recorded on September 7, 2007.  The Ravin Property is located 20 miles north of the town of Austin, Nevada and is accessible by paved road to within 5 miles of the property and by gravel road to the property itself.  There is no water or electricity available at the property site, with no surface water available within the property boundaries.  See Principal Expenditures and Divestitures.    44  The following is a map of the location of the Ravin molybdenum/tungsten project: [f20f2007009.gif] History of Exploration and Status:  Strong surface molybdenum and tungsten mineralization occurs within Cambrian sediments which have been intruded by two separate Cretaceous granitic to quartz monzonite plutons.  The Raven Pluton is the largest and crops out over an area of about 2 square miles.  The smaller Cadro Pluton crops out over a 1⁄2 square mile area in the northwest part of the project.  The Cadro Pluton appears to be responsible for a majority of the hydrothermal alteration and molybdenum mineralization seen on the project.  Historically, the property had been explored by Union Carbide, Houston Oil and Minerals and Freeport Exploration.  Union Carbide drilled three core holes with the deepest hole drilled to a depth of 500 feet.   Houston Oil subsequently acquired the property in 1978 and drilled six core holes in the Reward tungsten pit.  As part of a regional rock and soil geochemistry program, Houston Oil identified a coherent molybdenum soil anomaly.  They drilled two diamond drill holes and the best intercept encountered was 40 feet of 0.66% Mo.  Freeport optioned the property in 1981 and drilled 17 rotary and core drill holes to test a molybdenum-copper-fluorine anomaly found within the Cambrian sedimentary units.  The anomalous zone showed strong structural control and is thought to be associated with the contact zone of the Cadro Pluton.  Some of the historic drill holes  45  exist in the form of reports and summaries of the drilling, exploration, drill logs and assays but none of he original assay sheets are available.  All but 4 drill holes encountered molybdenum mineralization and highlights included:  Drill Hole Interval Width Grade  Rw 80-2, 81-2c 600-650 feet 50 feet 0.053% MoS2 800-900 feet 100 feet 0.047% MoS2 Rw 80-7 100-350 feet 250 feet 0.105% MoS2 Rw 81-11c 150-350 feet 200 feet 0.052% MoS2 Rw 81-13c 550-800 feet 250 feet 0.052% MoS2 1650-1700 feet 50 feet 0.055% MoS2 Rw 81-14c 600-650 feet 50 feet 0.051% MoS2  The terms of our option agreement with Energex are as follows:  Date Payment Amount Upon execution of this Agreement $5,000 (U.S.) First anniversary of Effective Date $25,000 (U.S.) Second anniversary of Effective Date $35,000 (U.S.) Each anniversary thereafter $50,000 (U.S.)  The Ravin Property is subject to a 3% NSR royalty.  Upon full exercise of the Option, we will own 100% of the project.  We plan to conduct an initial 11 hole diamond drill program to follow up on the previous drilling report by Freeport and Houston Oil and Minerals and to further the area of known mineralization.  Drill permits have been received with drilling to be conducted during the 2008 exploration season.  East Manhattan Wash gold project (Nye County, Nevada)  Description, Location and Access:  On November 11, 2007 we entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100 % interest in the East Manhattan Wash (EMW) claims in the Manhattan Mining District, Nye County, Nevada from MSM LLC, a Nevada corporation.   The property is located 40 miles north of the town of Tonopah, Nevada.  The EMW claims are accessible by paved road to within 1 mile of the property and by gravel road to the property itself.  There is no water or electricity available at the property site, with no surface water available within the property boundaries.  The property is comprised of the EMW 37, 39, 41, 43-68, 75, 77, 79, 81-100, 113 and EMW 116, 118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132-171 unpatented lode mining claims represented by Bureau of Land Management Nevada Mining Claim numbers NMC 977041-977093 and NMC 977094 - 977141 inclusive. These claims were recorded on January 8, 2008.  See Principal Expenditures and Divestitures.  46  The following is a map of the location of the East Manhattan Wash gold project:  [f20f2007011.gif]  History of Exploration and Status:  Historically, there has been more than 1,000,000 ounces of gold produced in the Manhattan mining district.   Recent production from the Manhattan mine (1974-1990), an open-pit operation, produced 236,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.08 ounce per ton (opt).  The Echo Bay East and West Pit deposits operated in the early 1990s, producing 260,000 ounces at an average grade of 0.06 opt.  The Round Mountain Mine, situated eight miles to the north, has produced more than 12,000,000 ounces of gold.  Recorded placer gold production from the district includes approximately 150,000 ounces from a major dredge operation, with small-scale lode mines having produced another 100,000 ounces. The current exploration model suggests that deposits that will be found in the Manhattan District are related to the contact of the Manhattan Caldera Margin and structural intersections.  Gold is also related to the Cambrian-Ordivician Age sedimentary rocks along the five mile long by one mile wide zone of the Caldera.  47  Preliminary assays from one of the outcrops sampled on the East Manhattan Wash property have returned values from 0.054 to 1.01 ppm Au.  Assays are pending for the remaining samples, with panning of some of the samples having revealed free gold.  Additional land has been staked along the North and South sides of the original EMW claims.  We believe that the EMW claims offer the opportunity to find high grade gold deposits within a well known mineralized province.  Underground deposits found here will be in the 0.5 opt gold range and higher.  Conversely, open pittable deposits will be in the 0.05 opt gold range, which is currently being mined at Kinross Golds nearby Round Mountain deposit.  Item 5.  Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  The following discussion of our operating results explains material changes in our consolidated results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the prior fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.  The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements to December 31, 2007 and the related notes included in Item 17 of this report.  Managements discussion and analysis of our operating results in this section is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements, the accuracy of which involves risks and uncertainties and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, but not limited to, those risk factors described elsewhere in this report.  Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Canadian dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP"), which differ in significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").  As such, this discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the results prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.  The significant differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP as applicable to our financial statements are summarized in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  Overview  Our business is exploration for minerals.  We do not have any properties that are in development or production. We have no earnings and, therefore, finance these exploration activities by the sale of our equity securities or through joint ventures with other mineral exploration companies.  The key determinants of our operating results include the following: (a) Our ability to identify and acquire quality mineral exploration properties on favorable terms; (b) The cost of our exploration activities; (c) our ability to finance our exploration activities and general operations; (d) our ability to identify and exploit commercial deposits of mineralization; and (e) the write-down and abandonment of mineral properties as exploration results provide further information relating to the underlying value of such properties. These determinates are affected by a number of factors, most of which are largely out of our control, including the following: (a) The competitive demand for quality mineral exploration properties; (b) Political and regulatory climate in countries where properties of interest are located; (c) Regulatory and other costs associated with maintaining our operations as a public company;  48 (d) the costs associated with exploration activities; and (e) the cost of acquiring and maintaining our mineral properties. Our primary capital and liquidity requirements relate to our ability to secure funds, principally through the sale of our securities, to raise sufficient capital to maintain our operations and fund our efforts to acquire mineral properties with attractive exploration targets and conduct successful exploration programs on them.  We anticipate this requirement will continue until such time as we have either discovered sufficient mineralization on one or more properties with sufficient grade, tonnage and type of mineralization to support the commencement of sustained profitable mining operations and are thereafter able to place such property or properties into commercial production or until we have obtained sufficient positive exploration results on one or more of our properties to enable us to successfully negotiate a joint venture with a mining company with greater financial resources than us or some other suitable arrangement sufficient to fund our operations. Our success in raising equity capital is dependant upon factors which are largely out of our control including: a) market prices for gold and other precious metals and minerals; b) the market for our securities; and c) the results from our exploration activities.  The most significant factors affecting our operations during the past year were related to continued strength in the demand for, and in the prices of precious and base metals and a corresponding favourable market for shares of junior exploration companies.  These factors are expected to have a significant effect on our future financial operations during the next fiscal year and thereafter so long as we continue in our present business of mineral exploration.  During 2007, the prices of gold, silver, copper and zinc have experienced significant price volatility, however; they all maintained prices substantially higher than the previous five years, which effectively improved the general market for the shares of junior exploration companies.  There has also been a significant increase in general mineral exploration activity, resulting in greater competition for mineral properties and the resources employed in mineral exploration, and a corresponding increase in the prices demanded for suitable exploration properties and the costs associated with mineral exploration.  We anticipate the market for precious and other metals will continue to increase in the short and medium term, resulting in continued favourable outlook for our ability to raise equity capital, but also increased exploration costs and increased costs for acquiring new exploration properties.  Accordingly, we anticipate our operating results will be most significantly affected by the results of our exploration activities on our existing properties.  See Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors. Accounting Policies  We have adopted a number of accounting policies and made a number of assumptions and estimates in preparing our financial reporting, which are described in Note 2 to the attached audited consolidated financial statements.  These policies, assumptions and estimates significantly affect how our historical financial performance is reported and also your ability to assess our future financial results.  In addition, there are a number of factors which may indicate our historical financial results will not be predictive of anticipated future results.  You should carefully review the following disclosure, together with the attached consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, including, in particular, the statement of significant accounting policies set out in Note 2 to such statements.   49 Going Concern Assumptions  As described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements, our financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, meaning that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge our liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.  We do not have any mineral properties in production, and have not yet generated any revenues and have a history of losses.   Our continuation as a going concern is uncertain and dependent on our ability to discover commercial mineral deposits on our properties and place them into profitable commercial production and our ability to sustain our operations until such time.  This, in turn depends on our ability to continue to fund our operations by the sale of our securities and other factors which are largely out of our control.  Although we have been successful in the past in obtaining financing, it cannot be assured that adequate financing or financing on acceptable terms can be obtained in the future.  In the event we cannot obtain the necessary funds, it will be necessary to delay, curtail or cancel further exploration on our properties.  Our consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we not be able to continue in our operations, and the amounts recorded for such items may be at amounts significantly different from those contained in our consolidated financial statements.  Treatment of Mineral Property Costs  As we are at the exploration stage, we capitalize the acquisition and exploration costs of our mineral properties under Canadian GAAP.  Should any of these properties be placed into production, such costs would be amortized over the life of the properties on a unit-of-production basis.  Should exploration results of any of our properties prove unsatisfactory, we would then abandon such property or properties, and write off costs incurred up to that time.  The impact on our net loss for the fiscal period would be dependent upon the amount of costs deferred up to the time of the write-off.  Use of Estimates  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of impairment of mineral property interests and the determination of fair value for stock based transactions.  Where estimates have been used financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates.  Stock-Based Compensation  We have granted stock options to directors and employees as described in Note 5 to the attached audited consolidated financial statements.  We adopted the accounting standards of the Canadian Institute of Chartered  Accountants (CICA) regarding stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments.  The standard requires that all stock-based awards be measured and recognized using a fair value based method.   Fair values are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of the options is credited to share capital.  5.A Operating Results  Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007 compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006  During the year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred operating expenses of $1,167,747 as compared to operating expenses of $523,491 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The significant changes during the current fiscal period compared to the same period a year prior are as follows:  50  Stock-based compensation expenses totaling $570,388, a non-cash expense, was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2007 for incentive stock options granted to directors, officers and consultants.  This compares to a stock based compensation expense for options granted to consultants and management of $129,165 during the same period a year prior.  Management fees increased to $90,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 from the $60,000 incurred during the same period a year prior due to an increase in the monthly fee paid to our President during the second half of the current period.  Professional fees increased to $51,093 during the year ended December 31, 2007 from the $42,199 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2006 due to additional legal fees incurred during the current period for the drafting of acquisition agreements.  Shareholder relations expenses increased to $339,034 during the year ended December 31, 2007 from the $210,274 incurred during the same period a year prior.  This was due to increased expenditures on advertising, trade show attendance and investor relations consulting services during the current period.  During the current fiscal period, we incurred travel costs of $28,370 primarily for attendance at trade shows.  This compares to travel expenses of $22,411 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2006 for evaluation of new projects.  Interest income increased to $222,290 during the year ended December 31, 2007 from the $19,458 earned during the same period a year prior due to the Company maintaining a higher cash balance in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during the current period.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we elected to abandon our Thomas Mountain uranium project in Utah, resulting in a write-off of mineral properties of $218,125.  During the current fiscal period, we wrote down the Target 1 claims in the NWT by $148,097 as we had not undertaken any exploration work on this property since 2004 and had no immediate plans to do so.  As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,093,554 as compared to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $722,158.  Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we incurred operating expenses of $523,491 as compared to operating expenses of $409,785 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The significant changes during the current fiscal period compared to the same period a year prior are as follows:  Consulting expense of $29,698 was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2006 for increased review of potential property acquisitions as compared to $3,998 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005.  Management fees increased to $60,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006 from the $52,500 incurred during fiscal 2005 when 1⁄2 of the monthly management fee was paid during the first quarter and subsequently increased as the Company became more active.  Transfer agent, filing fees and shareholder relations expenses increased to a total of $231,444 during the year ended December 31, 2006 from the $122,631 incurred during the same period a year prior due to additional costs incurred during the current fiscal period for attendance at trade shows in Europe, advertising, web site marketing, and news dissemination.   51  Stock-based compensation expense of $129,165, a non-cash item, was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2006 as the result of the Company granting 550,000 incentive stock options during the period.  This is reduced from stock based compensation expense of $155,266 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005 when the Company granted 775,000 stock options.  During the current fiscal period, the Company incurred travel costs of $22,411 primarily for attendance at trade shows.  This compares to travel expenses of $24,754 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005 for travel related to the review of potential property acquisitions as well as attendance at trade shows.  Professional fees of $42,199 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2006 were comparable to professional fees of $41,870 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005.  Interest income of $19,458 earned during the year ended December 31, 2006 increased from the $1,804 earned during the same period a year prior due to the Company maintaining a higher cash balance on deposit during the current period.  Due to the abandonment of the Thomas Mountain property in Utah in the fiscal year 2006, the Company incurred a write-off on mineral properties of $218,125 during the year ended December 31, 2006.  This compares to a write-down of $57,000 for the Target 2 Claim in the Northwest Territories during the year ended December 31, 2005.  As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $722,158 as compared to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $464,981.   5.B Liquidity and Capital Resources  Since our incorporation, we have financed our operations almost exclusively through the sale of our common shares to investors.  We expect to finance operations through the sale of equity in the foreseeable future as we have no source of revenue from our business operations. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in arranging financing on acceptable terms.  As it is uncertain when we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operating activities, if ever, we are dependent on raising additional equity or debt capital.  On May 24, 2007, we completed a brokered private placement offering of 5,000,000 units at a price of $1.00 per unit and 500,000 flow-through units at a price of $1.20 per flow-through unit.  We also completed a non-brokered placement of 2,750,000 units at $1.00 per unit and 209,000 flow-through units at $1.20 per unit.  The total gross proceeds of $8,600,800 will provide sufficient working capital to fund our exploration activities on our properties in Alaska, New Mexico, Arizona and the Northwest Territories through fiscal 2008.  We have no exposure to any asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) investments.  At December 31, 2007, we had working capital of $7,851,871, inclusive of cash and cash equivalents of $7,661,128.  This compares to working capital of $845,962 and cash on hand of $880,201 at December 31, 2006.  We have two properties that we need to satisfy certain minimum work commitments during 2008 in order to maintain our interests.  These properties are Gold Hill in Alaska and MacInnis Lake in the Northwest Territories.   See Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.  In order to maintain our interest in the Gold Hill property, we are required to undertake US$250,000 in exploration work on this property during 2008.  We believe that we have satisfied this requirement by our 12 hole diamond drill program budgeted at US$1,000,000 that we commenced on June 16, 2008.  At MacInnis Lake, we must spend US$750,000 by October 1, 2010 in order to maintain our interest, subject to receipt of the necessary drill permits.   As these permits have not yet been secured by the vendor, we anticipate that this requirement will be postponed by the vendor until such time as they are successful in securing the drill permits.   52  During 2008, we have budgeted for drill programs at Gold Hill in Alaska (US$1,000,000), Ravin in Nevada (US$800,000) and at Indata and Howell in British Columbia ($700,000).   We have also received a drill permit for a five hole diamond drill program at C de Baca in New Mexico budgeted at $300,000.  In addition, we plan to conduct initial exploration work on our NuStar Uranium project in Arizona and our East Manhattan Wash gold project in Nevada in order to define drill targets for drilling later in 2008 or in early 2009.  No exploration budgets have yet been determined for these projects.  We intend to pursue both the acquisition of mineral properties which we consider to be highly prospective for molybdenum, gold, uranium and other metals and to aggressively explore our current properties subject to the availability of funds.  We will require substantial additional capital to achieve our goal of discovering significant economic mineralization on one or more of our properties.  Until such time as we are able to make such a discovery and thereafter place one or more of our properties into commercial production or negotiate one or more joint venture agreements, we will be largely dependant upon our ability to raise capital from the sale of our securities to fund our operations.  We believe that our current capital resources will be sufficient to fund our general operations through 2008.  We do not anticipate being able to obtain revenue from commercial operations in the short term and anticipate we will be required to raise additional financing in the future to meet our working capital and on-going cash requirements.  We intend to raise such financing through sales of our equity securities by way of private placements, and/or the exercise of warrants.  We may also secure additional exploration funding through option or joint venture agreements on our mineral properties; or through the sale of our mineral properties, royalty interests or capital assets, or borrow to meet our working capital requirements.  While we have in the past been able to raise sufficient funds to sustain our exploration programs, there is no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so.  If, for any reason, we are not able to access the capital market, our resources during this period will be limited to cash on hand and any revenues we are able to generate from joint venture or similar arrangements we may hereafter enter into. If we are unable to secure sufficient funds to pursue such proposed acquisitions and exploration to the level desired, we will adjust our proposed activities to reflect the amount of capital available to us after providing for sufficient working capital to maintain our existing operations.  At present, none of our properties have a known body of ore and all our proposed exploration programs are an exploratory search for ore.  See Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors.  5.C Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.  We are a mineral exploration company and we do not carry on any research and development activities.  5.D Trend Information  Our Gold Hill Property claims are primarily prospective for gold and molybdenum, our Ravin property is primarily prospective for molybdenum and our Diamond Peak Project is primarily prospective for gold and zinc.  The overall trend for mineral resource prices, including for gold, zinc and molybdenum that our properties are prospective for, has been upward over the past year.  We anticipate that a continuing strength in metal prices will also make the acquisition of quality exploration prospects more expensive, as well as increase the costs of exploration generally.  Metal prices cannot be predicted with accuracy and our plans will be largely dependant upon the timing and outcome of metal markets, particularly the price of gold, zinc and molybdenum which is entirely outside of our control.  See Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.  The markets for zinc and gold are homogeneous, integrated commodities markets with a large number of both suppliers and buyers.  These markets are not ones which are particularly susceptible to the influence of one or more large suppliers or buyers.   53  There are a smaller number of producers of molybdenum than there are for commodities such as gold.  Molybdenum prices have increased from US$7.60/lb in 2000 to over US$35/lb in 2007.  The average molybdenum price in 2007 was approximately US$31/lb.  At June 10, 2008, the most recent date for which we could find a quote for the sale of molybdenum oxide, the price was US$33.15/lb.  Our Target 1 (Longtom Lake), MacInnis Lake, C de Baca and Nustar mineral properties are prospective for uranium.  There are fewer producers of uranium in the world than there are for some other commodities such as copper and gold.  The market for uranium is a homogeneous, integrated commodities market.  The market is not one which is particularly susceptible to the influence of one or more large suppliers or buyers.  The world average grade from producing uranium mines is 0.15 per cent U3O8, with spot uranium prices having risen from a cyclical low of US$7.10 per pound in late 2000 to a high of US$138.00 per pound on June 1, 2007.  At June 2, 2008, the most recent date for which we could find a quote for the sale of uranium, the price was US$59/lb.  5.E Off-balance Sheet Arrangements  We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.  5.F Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations  The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at December 31, 2007 and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

This Stock Option Plan provides for equity participation in the Company by our directors, officers, employees and consultants through the acquisition of common shares pursuant to the grant of options to purchase common shares.  The exercise price for options granted under the Stock Option Plan is determined by the closing trading price on the day immediately preceding the date of grant, less any discounts permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange or such other stock exchange on which the common shares are listed.  We have reserved and authorized 10% of our issued treasury shares for issuance under the Stock Option Plan to our directors and key employees.  Under the stock option plan, the aggregate number of optioned common shares granted to any one optionee in a 12-month period must not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares.  The number of optioned common shares granted to any one consultant in a 12-month period must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding common shares.  The aggregate number of optioned common shares granted to an optionee who is employed to provide investor relations activities must not exceed 2% of our issued and outstanding common shares in any 12-month period.  Options will be exercisable for a term of up to five years, subject to earlier termination in the event of death or the optionees cessation of services to the Company; and options granted under the stock option plan are non-assignable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  The policies of the TSX-Venture Exchange limited the granting of stock options to our directors, officers, employees and consultants and provided limits on the length, number and exercise price of such options. We are required to file our Stock Option Plan on an annual basis with the TSX-Venture Exchange for review of its terms.  On July 27, 2007, we granted stock options to our directors, officers and consultants entitling them to purchase 875,000 common shares at a price of $1.05 per share to July 27, 2010.  As at December 31, 2007, there were 1,631,250 stock options outstanding and exercisable.   Item 7.

Additional Information   10.A Share Capital  Not applicable.   63  10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association  We were incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta by registration of our articles of incorporation and bylaws.  Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act, a company may conduct any business that it is not restricted by the terms of its articles or bylaws from conducting.  Our articles and bylaws contain no such restrictions.  Our directors are required to disclose to the board of directors the nature and extent of their interest in any proposed transaction or contract and must thereafter refrain from voting in respect thereof.  An interested director may be counted in the quorum when a determination as to such directors remuneration is being considered but may not vote in respect thereof.  The directors have an unlimited power to borrow money, issue debt obligations and mortgage or charge our assets provided such actions are conducted bona fide and in our best interests.  There are no mandatory retirement ages for directors or any required shareholdings.  All holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefore at such times and in such amounts as the board of directors may from time to time determine.  All holders of common shares will share equally on a per share basis in any dividend declared by the board of directors.  The dividend entitlement time limit will be fixed by the board of directors at the time any such dividend is declared.  Each outstanding common share is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders in general meeting.  There are no cumulative voting rights attached to any of our shares and, accordingly, the holders of more than half of the shares represented at a general meeting can elect all of the directors to be elected in a general meeting.  All directors stand for re-election annually.  Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, all common shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution after payment to creditors.  The common shares are not convertible or redeemable and have no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights.  In the event of a merger or consolidation, all common shareholders will be entitled to receive the same per share consideration.  The rights of shareholders may only be altered by the shareholders passing a special resolution at a general meeting.  A special resolution may only be passed when it has been circulated to all shareholders by way of information circular and then must be passed by seventy-five percent of the votes cast at the general meeting.  The board of directors may call annual and extraordinary general meetings when required.  One or more shareholders holding in aggregate five percent or more of our issued shares may requisition an extraordinary meeting and the directors are required to hold such meeting within four months of such requisition.  Only registered shareholders or persons duly appointed by proxy may be admitted to meetings unless otherwise permitted by the chairman of the meeting.  There are no federal Canadian limitations or restrictions on the right to own our common shares.  Some regulatory restrictions, and disclosure obligations, would apply to persons purchasing 5% or more of our issued and outstanding common shares.  Persons resident outside of Canada might be subject to foreign investment review regulations if they were to purchase a controlling interest in the Company.  There are no provisions in our bylaws or articles of incorporation that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.  There are no provisions in our bylaws or articles of incorporation that establish any threshold for disclosure of ownership.  However, the Alberta and British Columbia Securities Commission requires that persons that are the registered owners of, and/or have voting control over 10% or more of our common shares must file insider reports disclosing securities holdings and must disclose any plans to acquire additional securities above that 10%.    64   10.C Material Contracts  The following are the material contracts which we, or any of our subsidiaries, have entered into in the last two years immediately prior to date of this report.  See Principal Expenditures and Divestitures: · Mineral Property Option Agreement between the Wendt Family Trust and us dated May 9, 2006.  · Mineral Property Option Agreement between Kokanee Placer Ltd. and us dated May 15, 2006 granting Kokanee Place Ltd. the right to acquire up to a 51% interest in the Diamond Peak Property. · Agreement dated April 4, 2007 between NUSTAR Exploration LLC and us for the acquisition of a 100% interest in 427 mineral claims located in the Arizona Strip of the Colorado Plateau in northwest Arizona. · Mineral Property Option Agreement dated September 10, 2007 between Energex LLC and us to acquire a 100% interest in the Ravin molybdenum/tungsten property in Lander County, Nevada. · Mineral Property Option Agreement between MSM LLC and us dated December, 2007 to acquire a 100% interest in the East Manhattan Wash claims in the Manhattan Mining District, Nye County, Nevada. · Mineral Property Option Agreement between Eastfield Resource Ltd. and us dated June 9, 2008 to acquire a 60% interest in the Indata project located in North Central B.C. · Mineral Property Option Agreement between Eastfield Resource Ltd. and us dated June 9, 2008 to acquire a 60% interest in the Howell property in southeastern B.C.  We have not entered into any other material agreements other than in the ordinary course of its business.  We have excluded management and public relations agreements, geological data access agreements, geological consulting agreements, professional services and other generic agreements as being in the ordinary course of our business.  10.D Exchange Controls  There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital (including, without limitation, foreign exchange controls), or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our Common Shares.  However, any such remittance to a resident of the United States may be subject to a withholding tax pursuant to the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States.  For further information concerning such withholding tax, see Item 10.E.  Taxation.  There are no limitations under the laws of Canada, the Province of Alberta, or in our charter or other constituent documents with respect to the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold and/or vote our common shares.  However, the Investment Canada Act (the Act), enacted on June 20, 1985, as amended, requires the prior notification and, in certain cases, advance review and approval by the Government of Canada of the acquisition by a non-Canadian of control of a Canadian business, all as defined in the Act.  For the purposes of the Act, control can be acquired through the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets used in the Canadian business, or the direct or indirect acquisition of interests in an entity that carries on a Canadian business or which controls the entity which carries on the Canadian business.  Under the Act, control of a corporation is deemed to be acquired through the acquisition of a majority of the voting shares of a corporation, and is presumed to be acquired where more than one-third, but less than a majority, of the voting shares of a corporation are acquired, unless it can be established that the corporation is not controlled in fact through the ownership of voting shares.  Other rules apply with respect to the acquisition of non-corporate entities.  65 Investments requiring review and approval include direct acquisition of Canadian businesses with assets with a gross book value of $5,000,000 or more; indirect acquisitions of Canadian businesses with assets of $50,000,000 or more; and indirect acquisitions of Canadian businesses where the value of assets of the entity or entities carrying on business in Canada, control of which is indirectly being acquired, is greater than $5,000,000 and represents greater than 50% of the total value of the assets of all of the entities, control of which is being acquired. Pursuant to the World Trade Organization Agreement Implementation Act, the Act was amended to provide that the value of the business acquisition threshold (the Threshold) above described is increased from those levels outlined where the acquisition is by a World Trade Organization Investor or by a non-Canadian other than a World Trade Organization Investor where the Canadian business that is the subject of the investment is immediately before the investment controlled by a World Trade Organization Investor.  The Threshold is to be determined yearly in accordance with a formula set forth in the Act.  For 2007, the Threshold was determined to be $281,000,000. A World Trade Organization Investor includes an individual, other than a Canadian, who is a national of a World Trade Organization Member, or who has the right of permanent residence in relation to that World Trade Organization Member. Different provisions and considerations apply with respect to investment to acquire control of a Canadian business that, as defined in the Act or regulations: a) engages in production of uranium and owns an interest in a producing uranium property in Canada; b) provides financial services; c) provides transportation services; d) is a cultural business.  If an investment is reviewable, an application for review in the form prescribed by regulation is normally required to be filed with the Ministry of Industry, Director of Investment prior to the investment taking place and the investment may not be consummated until the review has been completed and ministerial approval obtained.  Applications for review concerning indirect acquisitions may be filed up to 30 days after the investment is consummated.  Applications concerning reviewable investments in culturally sensitive and other specified activities referred to in the preceding paragraph are required upon receipt of a notice for review.  There is, moreover, provision for the Minister (a person designated as such under the Act) to permit an investment to be consummated prior to completion of review if he is satisfied that delay would cause undue hardship to the acquirer or jeopardize the operation of the Canadian business that is being acquired.   10.E Taxation    U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares of the Company (Common Shares).  This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S.   66  Holder.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  Scope of this Summary  Authorities  This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS), published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this Annual Report.  Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis.  This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive basis.  U.S. Holders  For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of Common Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., (b) a corporation, or any other entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state in the U.S., or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of such income, or (d) a trust if (i) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.  Non-U.S. Holders  For purposes of this summary, a non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of Common Shares other than a U.S. Holder.  This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares to non-U.S. Holders.  Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any income tax treaties) of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed  This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following U.S. Holders:  (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are dealers in securities or currencies or U.S. Holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that are liable for the alternative minimum tax under the Code; (f) U.S. Holders that own Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (g) U.S. Holders that acquired Common Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (h) U.S. Holders that hold Common Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code; or (i) U.S. Holders that own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company entitled to  67  vote.  U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares to such partnership and the partners of such partnership generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners.  Partners of entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  Tax Consequences Other than U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Not Addressed  This summary does not address the U.S. state and local, U.S. federal estate and gift, or foreign tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. state and local, U.S. federal estate and gift, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition, Ownership, and Disposition of Common Shares Distributions on Common Shares  General Taxation of Distributions  Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to the Common Shares will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company.  To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, such distribution will be treated (a) first, as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holders tax basis in the Common Shares and, (b) thereafter, as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares.  (See Disposition of Common Shares below).  Reduced Tax Rates for Certain Dividends  For taxable years beginning or before January 1, 2011, a dividend paid by the Company generally will be taxed at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains if (a) the Company is a qualified foreign corporation (as defined below), (b) the U.S. Holder receiving such dividend is an individual, estate, or trust, and (c) such dividend is paid on Common Shares that have been held by such U.S. Holder for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date.  The Company generally will be a qualified foreign corporation under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code (a QFC) if (a) the Company is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, or (b) the Common Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S.  However, even if the Company satisfies one or more of such requirements, the Company will not be treated as a QFC if the Company is a passive foreign investment company (as defined below) for the taxable year during which the Company pays a dividend or for the preceding taxable year.  As discussed below, the Company believes that it was a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year ended December 31, 2007, and based on current business plans and financial projections, expects that it will be a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year ending December 31, 2008. (See   68  Additional Rules that May Apply to U.S. HoldersPassive Foreign Investment Company below).  Accordingly, the Company does not expect to be a QFC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2007.  If the Company is not a QFC, a dividend paid by the Company to a U.S. Holder, including a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust, generally will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates (and not at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains).  The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the dividend rules.  Distributions Paid in Foreign Currency  The amount of a distribution received on the Common Shares in foreign currency generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distribution based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt.  A U.S. Holder that does not convert foreign currency received as a distribution into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt generally will have a tax basis in such foreign currency equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency on the date of receipt.  Such a U.S. Holder generally will recognize ordinary income or loss on the subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of such foreign currency (including an exchange for U.S. dollars).  Dividends Received Deduction  Dividends received on the Common Shares generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction.  The availability of the dividends received deduction is subject to complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this summary, and a U.S. Holder that is a corporation should consult its own tax advisor regarding the dividends received deduction.  Disposition of Common Shares  A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares sold or otherwise disposed of.  Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Shares are held for more than one year.  Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.  Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.  Foreign Tax Credit  A U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends received on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid.  Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holders income subject to U.S. federal income tax.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a taxable year.  Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holders foreign source taxable income bears to such U.S. Holders worldwide taxable income.  In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holders various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either foreign source or U.S. source.  In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income.  69  Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares generally will be treated as U.S. source for purposes of applying the foreign tax credit rules, unless the gain is subject to tax in Canada and resourced as foreign source gain under the provisions of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention and such U.S. Holder elects to treat such gain or loss as foreign source.  Dividends received on the Common Shares generally will be treated as foreign source and generally will be categorized as passive income.  The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.  Information Reporting; Backup Withholding Tax  Payments made within the U.S., or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, or proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of, Common Shares generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holders correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax.  However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.  Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.  Additional Rules that May Apply to U.S. Holders  If the Company is a controlled foreign corporation or a passive foreign investment company (each as defined below), the preceding sections of this summary may not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  Controlled Foreign Corporation  The Company generally will be a controlled foreign corporation under Section 957(a) of the Code (a CFC) if more than 50% of the total voting power or the total value of the outstanding shares of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the U.S., domestic partnerships, domestic corporations, domestic estates, or domestic trusts (each as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), each of which own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company (a 10% Shareholder).  If the Company is a CFC, a 10% Shareholder generally will be subject to current U.S. federal income tax with respect to (a) such 10% Shareholders pro rata share of the subpart F income (as defined in Section 952 of the Code) of the Company and (b) such 10% Shareholders pro rata share of the earnings of the Company invested in United States property (as defined in Section 956 of the Code).  In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares by a U.S. Holder that  was a 10% Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with such sale or other taxable disposition generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the earnings and profits of the Company that are attributable to such Common Shares.  If the Company is both a CFC and a passive foreign investment company (as defined below), the Company generally will be treated as a CFC (and not as a passive foreign investment company) with respect to any 10% Shareholder.  The Company does not believe that it has previously been, or currently is, a CFC.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be a CFC for the current or any subsequent taxable year.   70  Passive Foreign Investment Company  The Company generally will be a passive foreign investment company under Section 1297(a) of the Code (a PFIC) if, for a taxable year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company for such taxable year is passive income or (b) on average, 50% or more of the assets held by the Company either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the fair market value of such assets (or on the adjusted tax basis of such assets, if the Company is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election).  Passive income includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.  Gross Income means, generally, all revenues less cost of goods sold.  However, for transactions entered into after December 31, 2004, active business gains arising from the sale or exchange of commodities by the Company generally are excluded from passive income if substantially all of the Companys commodities are (a) stock in trade of the Company or other property of a kind that would properly be included in inventory of the Company, or property held by the Company primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) property used in the trade or business of the Company that would be subject to the allowance for depreciation under section 167 of the Code, or (c) supplies of a type regularly used or consumed by the Company in the ordinary course of its trade or business.  For purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another foreign corporation, the Company will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other foreign corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other foreign corporation.  In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, passive income does not include any interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by the Company from a related person (as defined in Section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person that is not passive income.  The Company believes that it was a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2007, and based on current business plans and financial projections, expects that it will be a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2008. The determination of whether the Company was, or will be, a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to various interpretations.  In addition, whether the Company will be a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2008 and each subsequent taxable year depends on the assets and income of the Company over the course of each such taxable year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this Annual Report.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the determination made by the Company concerning its PFIC status for any taxable year.  Default PFIC Rules Under Section 1291 of the Code If the Company is a PFIC, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares will depend on whether such U.S. Holder makes an election to treat the Company as a qualified electing fund or QEF under Section 1295 of the Code (a QEF Election) or a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a Mark-to-Market Election).  A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election will be referred to in this summary as a Non-Electing U.S. Holder.  A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code with respect to (a) any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares and (b) any excess distribution received on the Common Shares.  A distribution generally will be an excess distribution to the extent that such distribution (together with all other distributions received in the current taxable year) exceeds 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding taxable years (or during a U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares, if shorter).   71  Under Section 1291 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, and any excess distribution received on the Common Shares, must be ratably allocated to each day in a Non-Electing U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares.  The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to prior years of such Non-Electing U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares  (other than years prior to the first taxable year of the Company beginning after December 31, 1986 for which the Company was not a PFIC) will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income in each such prior year.  A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be required to pay interest on the resulting tax liability for each such prior year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such prior year.  Such a Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat any such interest paid as personal interest, which is not deductible.  The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to the current year of such Non-Electing U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares will be treated as ordinary income in the current year, and no interest charge will be incurred with respect to the resulting tax liability for the current year.  If the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds Common Shares, the Company will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Non-Electing U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the Company ceases to be a PFIC in one or more subsequent taxable years.  A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above) as if such Common Shares were sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which the Company was a PFIC.  In addition, if the Company is a PFIC and owns shares of another foreign corporation that also is a PFIC, under certain indirect ownership rules, a disposition by the Company of the shares of such other foreign corporation or a distribution received by the Company from such other foreign corporation generally will be treated as an indirect disposition by a U.S. Holder or an indirect distribution received by a U.S. Holder, subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above.  To the extent that gain recognized on the actual disposition by a U.S. Holder of Common Shares or income recognized by a U.S. Holder on an actual distribution received on the Common Shares was previously subject to U.S. federal income tax under these indirect ownership rules, such amount generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.  QEF Election  The procedure for making a QEF Election, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making a QEF Election, will depend on whether such QEF Election is timely.  A QEF Election generally will be timely if it is made for the first year in a U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares in which the Company is a PFIC.  In this case, a U.S. Holder may make a timely QEF Election by filing the appropriate QEF Election documents with such U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax return for such first year.  However, if the Company was a PFIC in a prior year in a U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares, then in order to be treated as making a timely QEF Election, such U.S. Holder must elect to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above) as if the Common Shares were sold on the qualification date for an amount equal to the fair market value of the Common Shares on the qualification date.  The qualification date is the first day of the first taxable year in which the Company was a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder.  In addition, under very limited circumstances, a U.S. Holder may make a retroactive QEF Election if such U.S. Holder failed to file the QEF Election documents in a timely manner.  A QEF Election will apply to the taxable year for which such QEF Election is made and to all subsequent taxable years, unless such QEF Election is invalidated or terminated or the IRS consents to revocation of such QEF Election.  If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election and, in a subsequent taxable year, the Company ceases to be a PFIC, the QEF Election will remain in effect (although it will not be applicable) during those taxable years in which the Company is not a PFIC.  Accordingly, if the Company becomes a PFIC in another subsequent taxable year, the QEF Election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the QEF rules described above during any such subsequent taxable year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC.  In addition, the QEF Election will remain in effect (although it will not be applicable) with respect to a U.S. Holder even after such U.S. Holder  72  disposes of all of such U.S. Holders direct and indirect interest in the Common Shares.  Accordingly, if such U.S. Holder reacquires an interest in the Company, such U.S. Holder will be subject to the QEF rules described above for each taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC.  A U.S. Holder that makes a timely QEF Election generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above.  For example, a U.S. Holder that makes a timely QEF Election generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares.  However, for each taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holders pro rata share of (a) the net capital gain of the Company, which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) and the ordinary earnings of the Company, which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder.  Generally, net capital gain is the excess of (a) net long-term capital gain over (b) net short-term capital loss, and ordinary earnings are the excess of (a) earnings and profits over (b) net capital gain.  A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts for each taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such U.S. Holder by the Company.  However, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election may, subject to certain limitations, elect to defer payment of current U.S. federal income tax on such amounts, subject to an interest charge.  If such U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any such interest paid will be treated as personal interest, which is not deductible.  A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally (a) may receive a tax-free distribution from the Company to the extent that such distribution represents earnings and profits of the Company that were previously included in income by the U.S. Holder because of such QEF Election and (b) will adjust such U.S. Holders tax basis in the Common Shares to reflect the amount included in income or allowed as a tax-free distribution because of such QEF Election.  U.S. Holders should be aware that there can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy record keeping requirements that apply to a QEF, or that the Company will supply U.S. Holders with information that such U.S. Holders require to report under the QEF rules, in the event that the Company is a PFIC and a U.S. Holder wishes to make a QEF Election.   Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a QEF Election.  Mark-to-Market Election  A U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election only if the Common Shares are marketable stock.  The Common Shares generally will be marketable stock if the Common Shares are regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market.  For this purpose, a qualified exchange or other market includes (a) a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (b) the national market system established pursuant to section 11A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or (c) a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located, provided that (i) such foreign exchange has trading volume, listing, financial disclosure, surveillance, and other requirements designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free, open, fair, and orderly market, and protect investors (and the laws of the country in which the foreign exchange is located and the rules of the foreign exchange ensure that such requirements are actually enforced) and (ii) the rules of such foreign exchange effectively promote active trading of listed stocks.  If the Common Shares are traded on such a qualified exchange or other market, the Common Shares generally will be regularly traded for any calendar year during which the Common Shares are traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter.  A Mark-to-Market Election applies to the taxable year in which such Mark-to-Market Election is made and to each subsequent taxable year, unless the Common Shares cease to be marketable stock or the IRS consents to  73  revocation of such election.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a Mark-to-Market Election.  A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above.  However, if a U.S. Holder makes a Mark-to-Market Election after the beginning of such U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares and such U.S. Holder has not made a timely QEF Election, the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, and distributions on, the Common Shares.  A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will include in ordinary income, for each taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of the Common Shares as of the close of such taxable year over (b) such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in such Common Shares.  A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the excess, if any, of (i) such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares over (ii) the fair market value of such Common Shares as of the close of such taxable year or (b) the excess, if any, of (i) the amount included in ordinary income because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior taxable years over (ii) the amount allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior taxable years.  A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally will adjust such U.S. Holders tax basis in the Common Shares to reflect the amount included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election.  In addition, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, a U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will recognize ordinary income or loss (not to exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount included in ordinary income because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior taxable years over (b) the amount allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior taxable years).  Other PFIC Rules  Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would cause a U.S. Holder that had not made a timely QEF Election to recognize gain (but not loss) upon certain transfers of Common Shares that would otherwise be tax-deferred (such as gifts and exchanges pursuant to tax-deferred reorganizations under Section 368 of the Code).  However, the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder may vary based on the manner in which Common Shares are transferred.  Certain additional adverse rules will apply with respect to a U.S. Holder if the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election.  For example under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder that uses Common Shares as security for a loan will, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such Common Shares.  The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences  The following discussion summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a person who owns one or more common shares of the Company (the "Shareholder"), and who at all material times for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)  (the  "Canadian  Act") deals at arm's length with the Company,  holds all common shares solely as capital property, is a  non-resident  of Canada,  and does not, and is not deemed to, use or hold any Common  share in or in the course of  carrying  on  business  in  Canada.  It is assumed that the common shares will at all material times be listed on a stock exchange that is prescribed for the purposes of the Canadian Act.   74  This summary is based on the current provisions of the Canadian Act, including the regulations  thereunder,  and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (the  "Treaty") as amended.  This summary takes into account all specific proposals  to amend the  Canadian Act and the  regulations  thereunder  publicly announced  by the  government  of Canada to the date  hereof  and the  Company's understanding of the current published administrative and assessing practices of Canada Customs and Revenue  Agency.  It is assumed that all such amendments will be enacted substantially as currently proposed, and that there will be no other material change to any such law or practice, although no assurances can be given in these respects. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set out herein, this summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax law or treaty.  This summary is not, and is not to be construed as, tax advice to any particular Shareholder. Each prospective and current Shareholder is urged to obtain independent advice as to the Canadian income tax consequences of an investment in common shares applicable to the Shareholder's particular circumstances.  A Shareholder generally will not be subject to tax pursuant to the Canadian Act on any capital gain realized by the Shareholder on a disposition of a Common share unless the Common share constitutes "taxable Canadian property" to the Shareholder for purposes of the Canadian Act and the Shareholder is not eligible for relief pursuant to an applicable bilateral tax treaty.  A Common share that is disposed of by a Shareholder will not constitute taxable Canadian property of the  Shareholder  provided  that the Common share is listed on a stock  exchange that is  prescribed  for the purposes of the  Canadian  Act (the  Toronto  Stock Exchange is so prescribed),  and that neither the  Shareholder,  nor one or more persons  with  whom  the  Shareholder  did not deal at  arm's  length,  alone or together at any time in the five years  immediately  preceding  the  disposition owned,  or owned any right to acquire,  25% or more of the issued  shares of any class of the capital  stock of the Company.  In addition,  the Treaty  generally will  exempt a  Shareholder  who is a  resident  of the  United  States  for the purposes of the Treaty, and who would otherwise be liable to pay Canadian income tax  in  respect  of  any  capital  gain  realized  by  the  Shareholder  on the disposition of a Common share,  from such  liability  provided that the value of the  Common  share is not  derived  principally  from real  property  (including resource property) situated in Canada or that the Shareholder does not have, and has not had within the 12-month period preceding the  disposition,  a "permanent establishment"  or "fixed  base," as those terms are defined for the purposes of the  Treaty,  available  to the Shareholder  in  Canada.  The Treaty may not be available to a  non-resident Shareholder that is a U.S. LLC, which is not subject to tax in the U.S. Any dividend on a Common share, including a stock dividend, paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited,  by the Company to a Shareholder  will be subject to  Canadian  withholding  tax at the  rate of 25% on the gross  amount  of the dividend, or such lesser rate as may be available under an applicable income tax treaty.  Pursuant to the Treaty, the rate of withholding tax applicable to a dividend paid on a Common share to a Shareholder who is a resident of the United States for the purposes of the Treaty will be reduced to 5% if the beneficial owner of the dividend is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company, and in any other case will be reduced to 15%, of the gross amount of the dividend.  It is Canada Customs and Revenue Agencys position that the Treaty reductions are not available to a Shareholder that is a "limited liability company" resident in the United States. The Company will be required to withhold any such tax from the dividend, and remit the tax directly to Canada Customs and Revenue Agency for the account of the Shareholder.  ALL PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING THE COMMON SHARES.  10.F     Dividends and paying agents  Not Applicable.  10.G Statement by experts  Not Applicable.  75  10.H Documents on Display  We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission this annual report on Form 20-F, including exhibits, under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.   We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and file reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Reports and other information which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Annual Report on Form 20-F, may be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission at:  100 F Street, NE Washington D.C.  20549  You can also obtain copies of this material by mail from the Public Reference Section of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We were incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada and our financial results are quantified in Canadian dollars.  We raise equity funding through the sale of securities denominated in Canadian dollars, whereas the majority of our obligations and expenditures with respect to our properties will be incurred in US Dollars.  Variations in the exchange rate may give rise to foreign exchange gains or losses that may be significant.  Market risks relating to our operations, if we begin production, are anticipated to result primarily from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices, as well as credit risk concentrations.  We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not parties to any leverage derivatives.  We do not currently engage in hedging transactions.  See Currency and Exchange Rates and Item 4  Information on the Company.    Item 12. Description of Securities Other than Equity Securities  The required disclosure is not applicable.  PART II   Item 13. Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies  We have had no material defaults in payment of principal, interest or sinking or purchase fund installments or other material defaults relating to indebtedness.   Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds  The required disclosure is not applicable.   76  Item 15T. Controls and Procedures  (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  After evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d  14(c)) as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. (b) Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: § pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and asset dispositions; § provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; § provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and board of directors (as appropriate); and § provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 based on the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (the Framework).   Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, there may be potential weaknesses concerning segregation of duties; however, they are not considered to be material weaknesses.  During its evaluation, our management identified the need for additional accounting staff in order to ensure more complete segregation of duties during the accounting and financial reporting process in the future.  Effective January 2008, we retained additional experienced accounting staff to assist in the preparation of financial statements and the documentation of internal controls and procedures.  Our management is committed to continuously improve its internal controls throughout 2008.  This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Our managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide   77  only managements report in this annual report.  These temporary rules permits a non-accelerated filer to provide only managements report on internal control over financial reporting in an annual report and omit an attestation report of the issuers registered public accounting firm regarding managements report on internal control over financial reporting until it is required to file an annual report for its first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2008.  (c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect these controls subsequent to the date our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer completed their evaluation.  Item 16.  16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert  We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee.  Our Audit Committee consists of three independent directors, all of whom are both financially literate and very knowledgeable about our corporate affairs.  Because our structure and operations are straightforward, we do not find it necessary to augment our Audit Committee with a financial expert.  16.B Code of Ethics  We have not adopted a formal code of ethics.  We have concluded that a written code of ethics would serve little practical purpose for us in deterring wrongdoing and promoting ethical conduct and full, fair and accurate public disclosure and compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.  Since our operations are currently relatively small, most of our important activities are conducted directly by or under the direct supervision of our directors and senior officers.  All of our current directors and officers have held their positions for a number of years and are familiar with our operations and our informal requirements for conduct.  In light of the lack of perceived benefit from adopting a formal code considered against the time and cost for management to consider and implement a code, we have decided not to do so at the present time.  We will continue to monitor the possible benefits of adopting a formal code of ethics, particularly as our operations expand and will consider whether we should adopt a formal code of ethics at a future date.  16.C Principal Accountant Fees and Services  (a) Audit Fees  The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements, together with services that are normally provided by the principal accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were approximately $20,320 for the year ending December 31, 2007 and $16,300 for the year ending December 31, 2006.  (b) Audit-Related Fees  The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements but are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item were $nil for the year ending December 31, 2007 and $nil for the year ending December 31, 2006.   78  (c) Tax Fees  The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $350 for the year ended December 31, 2006 for preparation of our tax returns.  (d) All Other Fees  The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant other than services disclosed in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item were $nil in the year ending December 31, 2007 and $nil in the year ending December 31, 2006.  (e) Pre-Approval Policies  Our Audit Committee nominates and engages the independent auditors to audit the financial statements, and approves all audits, audit-related services, tax services and other services provided by the auditor.  Any services provided by our independent auditor that are not specifically included within the scope of the audit must be pre-approved by our audit committee prior to any engagement.  Our audit committee is permitted to approve certain fees for audit-related services, tax services and other services pursuant to a de minimusexception before the completion of the engagement.  16.D Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees  Not applicable.  16.E Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers  There were no repurchases by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliated purchaser, including any repurchases made pursuant to a publicly announced plan or program or made pursuant to a plan or program that was not announced publicly, in the last fiscal year.  We made no open market repurchases.   PART III   Item 17. Financial Statements  We are furnishing the following financial statements and reports:  Auditors Report dated March 21, 2008 Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 Consolidated Statements of Operations and Deficit for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  All financial statements herein, unless otherwise stated, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (Canadian GAAP).  These principles, as they pertain to our consolidated financial statements, differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) in a number of material respects, which are set out elsewhere herein.  See Note 9 to the attached consolidated financial statements.  79       MAX RESOURCE CORP.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Max Resource Corp. as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.   DMCL  DALE MATHESON CARR-HILTON LABONTE LLP DMCL CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Vancouver, Canada March 21, 2008        [f20f2007013.jpg]   81 MAX RESOURCE CORP.

(An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2007 (Expressed In Canadian Dollars)   NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS  The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on April 25, 1994 as Proven Capital Corp.  By Articles of Amendment dated January 10, 1995, the Companys name was changed to Cedar Capital Corp. and then to Vancan Capital Corp. on February 12, 2002 concurrent with the consolidation of outstanding common share capital on a four for one basis. The Companys name was changed to Max Resource Corp. on May 14, 2004.  The Company is in the business of mineral property exploration and development.  The recoverability of amounts recorded for mineral properties and related deferred costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and future production or proceeds from the disposition thereof..  To date, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations and will require additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations.  As a result, further losses are anticipated prior to the generation of any profits.  The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including costs of exploration of the properties, cash flow from operations, and competition and global market conditions. The Company's anticipated recurring operating losses and growing working capital needs will require that it obtain additional capital to operate its business.    The Company has sufficient funds on hand to cover anticipated operating expenses for the next year.  The Company will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to complete the exploration and development of its mineral properties. Such outside capital will include the sale of additional stock.  There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet these continuing exploration and development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.  The issuances of additional stock by the Company may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of its current stockholders.  Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company's liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, its business and future success may be adversely affected.  Given the Company's limited operating history, lack of sales, and its operating losses, there can be no assurance that it will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.   NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.  Except as indicated in Note 9, they also comply, in all material respects, with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Basis of Consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Max Resource, Inc., a Nevada company, which was incorporated on August 24, 2005.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.  Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the recoverability of mineral property interests, the determination of future income taxes and the determination of fair value for stock based transactions.  Where estimates have been used financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates.  85  NOTE 2 . SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)  Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid Canadian dollar denominated guaranteed investment certificates with original terms to maturity of not more than ninety days which are readily convertible to contracted amounts of cash.   Cash equivalents are classified as held-for-trading and are recorded at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in net income (loss).  At December 31, 2007 the Company had cash equivalents comprised of guaranteed investment certificates issued by major financial institutions in the aggregate amount of $7,640,000 and bearing interest at rates varying from 3.65% to 4.8% per annum.  Mineral Properties The Company records its interests in mineral properties at the lower of cost or estimated recoverable value.  Where specific exploration programs are planned and budgeted by management, the cost of mineral properties and related exploration expenditures are capitalized until the properties are placed into commercial production, sold, abandoned or determined by management to be impaired in value.  These costs will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of the properties following the commencement of production or written off if the properties are sold or abandoned.  The costs include the cash or other consideration and the assigned value of shares issued, if any, on the acquisition of mineral properties.  Costs related to properties acquired under option agreements or joint ventures, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts at such time as the payments are made.  For properties held jointly with other parties the Company only records its proportionate share of acquisition and exploration costs.  The proceeds from options granted are deducted from the cost of the related property and any excess is deducted from other remaining capitalized property costs.  The Company does not accrue estimated future costs of maintaining its mineral properties in good standing.  Capitalized costs as reported on the balance sheet represent costs incurred to date and may not reflect actual, present, or future values.  Recovery of carrying value is dependent upon future commercial success or proceeds from disposition of the mineral interests.  Management evaluates each mineral interest on a reporting period basis or as events and circumstances warrant, and makes a determination based on exploration activity and results, estimated future cash flows and availability of funding as to whether costs are capitalized or charged to operations.  Mineral property interests, where future cash flows are not reasonably determinable, are evaluated for impairment based on managements intentions and determination of the extent to which future exploration programs are warranted and likely to be funded.  General exploration costs not related to specific properties and general administrative expenses are charged to operations in the year in which they are incurred.  The Company does not have any producing mineral properties and all of its efforts to date have been exploratory in nature.  Upon the establishment of commercial production, carrying values of deferred acquisition and exploration costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the mine using the units of production method.  Equipment Equipment is recorded at cost with amortization being provided using the declining balance basis at 20% per annum.  Loss per Share The Company is using the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments.  The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds received from in-the-money stock options are used to repurchase common shares at the prevailing market rate.  Basic loss per share figures have been calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.  Diluted loss per share figures are equal to those of basic loss per share for each year since the effects of the share purchase warrants and stock options have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive.   86  NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)  Stock-based Compensation The Company has granted stock options to directors and employees as described in Note 5.  The Company adopted the accounting standards of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) regarding stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments.  The standard requires that all stock-based awards be measured and recognized using a fair value based method.  Fair values are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of the options is credited to share capital.  Financial Instruments The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued the following standards effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006: Accounting Standards Section 1530 "Comprehensive Income", Accounting Standards Section 3855 "Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement" Accounting Standard Section 3861 "Financial Instruments  Presentation and Disclosure" and Accounting Standards Section 3865 "Hedges". These sections require certain financial instruments and hedge transactions to be recorded at fair value. The standards also introduce the concept of comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income.  The Company adopted these standards effective January 1, 2007 on a prospective basis without retroactive restatement of prior periods. Under the new standard, financial instruments designated as "held for trading" and "available for sale" will be carried at their fair value while financial instruments designated as "loans and receivables", "financial liabilities" and those classified as "held to maturity" will be carried at their amortized cost. All derivatives will be carried on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. Mark-to-market adjustments on these instruments will be included in net income. Transaction costs incurred to acquire financial instruments will be included in the underlying balance.  The adoption of these new standards did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.  Income Taxes Future income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying values and their corresponding tax values (temporary differences).  Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in income in the period in which the change occurs.  The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that, in the opinion of management, is more likely than not to be realized.  Risk Management The Company is engaged primarily in mineral exploration and manages related industry risk issues directly.  The Company may be at risk for environmental issues and fluctuations in commodity pricing.  Management is not aware of and does not anticipate any significant environmental remediation costs or liabilities in respect of its current operations; however it is not possible to be certain that all aspects of environmental issues affecting the Company, if any, have been fully determined or resolved.  The Company is not exposed to significant credit concentration or interest rate risk.  Translation of Foreign Currency Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollar equivalents as follows: i. Monetary assets and liabilities at year end rates; ii. All other assets and liabilities at historical rates; iii. Revenue and expense transactions at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year.  The Company's subsidiary is an integrated foreign operation and is translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method.  Monetary items are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date; non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates.  Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.  Translation gains and losses are reflected in loss for the year.  87  NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)  Asset Retirement Obligations The Company has adopted the CICA Handbook section 3110, Asset Retirement Obligations. This standard focuses on the recognition and measurement of liabilities related to legal obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment.  Under this standard, these obligations are initially measured at fair value and subsequently adjusted for any changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows. The asset retirement cost is to be capitalized to the related asset and amortized into earnings over time.  Management is of the opinion that the Company does not have any asset retirement obligations at this time.  Mineral property related retirement obligations are capitalized as part of deferred exploration and development costs.  Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company follows the recommendations of the CICA Handbook section 3063, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Section 3063 establishes standards for recognizing, measuring and disclosing impairment of long-lived assets held for use. The Company conducts its impairment test on long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset to be held and used exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows expected from its use and disposal. If there is impairment, the impairment amount is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, calculated using discounted cash flows when quoted market prices are not available.  Flow-through Shares The resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with Canadian tax legislation. Under the recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee (EIC 146), future income tax liabilities resulting from the renunciation of qualified mineral expenditures by the Company is recorded as a reduction in share capital. Any corresponding realization of future income tax benefits resulting from the utilization of prior year losses available to the Company not previously recorded, as the Company did not meet the criteria for recognition, will be reflected as part of the Companys operating results as a recovery of future income taxes in the same period of filing the renunciations with the Canada Revenue Agency.

MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued):  Target Claims, Northwest Territories, Canada Effective January 15, 2003 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest in a mineral claim located east of Hottah Lake in the Northwest Territories of Northern Canada (the Target 2 Claim).  During 2003, the Company acquired its interest in the Claim by making cash payments totalling $15,000, issuing 200,000 common shares at a price of $0.20 per share and agreeing to incurring a minimum of $50,000 in exploration expenditures on the Claim, which were required to be made on or before December 31, 2004.  By agreement dated April 16, 2003, the Company obtained the right to acquire a 50% interest in a mineral claim comprising 1,781.9 acres located in the Longtom Lake area of the Northwest Territories (the Target 1 Claim). To earn its interest during 2003, the Company paid $15,000 and issued 200,000 common shares at a price of $0.38 per share.  During the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company elected to write-off the Target 2 Claim as it did not intend to do any further work on that property.  This resulted in the write-down of $55,000 in acquisition costs and $2,000 in deferred exploration costs.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $148,097 on the Target 1 Claim as the Company has not done any work on the property since 2004 and has no immediate plans to do so.   Gold Hill Property, Alaska During 2004 the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire an interest in the Gold Hill claims near Cantwell, Alaska.  Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company paid $45,173 (US$33,200) in acquisition costs and a further $18,518 (US$15,000) in advance royalties and issued 100,000 common shares valued at $47,000 and 100,000 warrants valued at $19,724 exercisable at $0.47 per share for a two year period.  In order to maintain the Option, the Company issued an additional 200,000 common shares effective December 31, 2004 at a value of $74,000 and a further 200,000 common shares during the year ended December 31, 2005 at a value of $120,000.  The Company assumed all of the optionors obligations under their lease with GCO Minerals Corp. (GCO) which include the following minimum work commitments and Advance Royalty Payments (in U.S. funds):  Year               Work Commitment                      Advance Royalty 2004               $100,000 (incurred)                   $    5,000 (paid) 2005                 150,000 (incurred)                       15,000 (paid) 2006                 deferred to 2007 25,000 (paid) 2007                 250,000 (incurred)                        25,000 (paid) 2008                 250,000                                         50,000 2009                 500,000                                         75,000 2010                 500,000                                       100,000 2011 500,000                                       100,000  Upon exercise of the option, the Company can earn up to a 90% interest in the Gold Hill claims, subject to a net smelter return (NSR) and back-in rights to GCO that would allow GCO to buy back up to a 30% interest in the Gold Hill claims by paying the Company the lesser of US$5,000,000 or 300% of all costs incurred to completion of a Feasibility Report.  The NSR royalty will fluctuate from 1.5% to 4.0% depending on the price of gold.  In addition, the Company will pay to the optionor an additional 1% NSR royalty.  During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred the following exploration costs on the Gold Hill Property: 20072006Drilling$     375,291$               -Field expenses260,6803,483Geological consulting90,9003,683Licenses, permits and lease payments6,3306,051Travel14,020-$  747,221$  13,217  89  NOTE 3. MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued):  MacInnis Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada  The Company entered into an option agreement dated April 1, 2005, as amended April 11, 2006, with Alberta Star Development Corp. (Alberta Star) whereby the Company can earn an interest in the MacInnis Lake Uranium Project in the Northwest Territories.  The terms of the option agreement call for payments as follows:  (i) cash payments totalling $30,000 (paid); (ii) the issuance to Alberta Star of 200,000 common shares of the Company upon TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) acceptance for filing (issued) and (iii) work commitments totalling $2,000,000 over a five year period ($750,000 on or before October 1, 2008; $250,000 on or before April 1, 2009; $750,000 on or before October 1, 2009 and $250,000 on or before April 1, 2010).  The terms of the option agreement call for the Company to earn a 25% interest in the MacInnis Lake Project upon making the payments in (i) and (ii) above together with the first $1,000,000 in work commitments.  The Company may earn a further 25% interest when it completes the $2,000,000 in work commitments.  The MacInnis Lake property is subject to a 2% NSR royalty.  Upon full exercise of the option, the parties agree to enter into a joint venture agreement.  Alberta Star will act as operator on the MacInnis Lake project for the term of the option agreement.  During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred the following exploration costs on the MacInnis Lake project: 20072006Geological consulting$     5,792$               -Geophysical surveys125,000-$     130,792$               -  Thomas Mountain, Utah, United States  On August 11, 2005 the Company entered into an option agreement with Energex, LLC (Energex) to acquire a 100% interest in 27 mineral claims (the PPCO claims) in Juab County, Utah.  The terms of the Option Agreement call for an initial cash payment to Energex of US$5,000, annual maintenance payments to Energex of US$10,000 commencing in the second year and escalating by US$10,000 each year thereafter to a maximum of US$50,000 per year, and work commitments totalling US$1,000,000 over a four year period (US$100,000 in the first year; US$200,000 in the second year; US$300,000 in the third year and US$400,000 in the fourth and final year).  The Company will earn a 100% interest in the PPCO claims by making the initial cash payment of US$5,000 (paid) and satisfying the work commitment of US$1,000,000, subject to a 2% royalty payable to Energex.  In September 2005, the Company staked additional claims around the original PPCO uranium claims, bringing the total to 195 lode claims comprising 3,900 acres at a total staking cost of $62,298.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company satisfied its work commitments on the PPCO claims by incurring $133,790 in exploration expenses on the Thomas Mountain project.  However, as the drilling conducted did not encounter economic grades of uranium, the Company elected not to pay the option payment due to Energex or the claim maintenance fees that were due in September, 2006 and abandoned the property, resulting in a write-down of $218,125.  C de Baca, New Mexico, United States  On September 22, 2005 the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire a total of 108 claims (the Dat Claims) in Socorro County, New Mexico, pursuant to an agreement with Applied Geologic Services, Inc. of Denver, Colorado.  Consideration for the acquisition of the Claims is US$10,000 cash payment on acceptance for filing by the TSX-V (paid), with annual payments of US$10,000 until production.  After production, a royalty of 2% of gross revenues is payable until such time as a total of US$500,000 (including the initial cash payment and annual payments) has been paid.  90  NOTE 3. MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued):  C de Baca, New Mexico, United States (continued)  To December 31, 2007, the Company had incurred total acquisition costs of $106,982 with respect to the Dat Claims.  This amount is comprised of staking fees of $35,235, filing fees of $37,119 and the purchase price of $34,628 (US$30,000).

The Wendt Family Trust is controlled by Clancy J. Wendt, the Vice President of Exploration for the Company.  The terms of the Option Agreement call for the issuance to the Wendt Family Trust of 100,000 escrowed shares (issued) of the Company valued at $40,000 and the following rental payments:  Date Payment Amount Upon execution of the Agreement $ 25,000 (U.S.) (paid) May 9, 2007 $ 35,000 (U.S.) (paid) May 9, 2008 $ 45,000 (U.S.) Each anniversary thereafter for 10 years $ 50,000 (U.S.)  The Company may purchase the property for US$300,000.   If the option to purchase the property is exercised during the term of the rental payments, no further property rental payments will be due.  The Diamond Peak property will be subject to a 3% NSR royalty.  Upon full exercise of the option, the Company will own 100% of the property.  On May 15, 2006, the Company entered into a mineral property Option Agreement with Kokanee Placer Ltd. (Kokanee), a British Columbia company, whereby it granted Kokanee the right to acquire up to a 51% interest in the Diamond Peak Property in consideration of a cash payment of US$25,000 (paid) and the issuance of 100,000 shares of Kokanee to the Company upon completion of Kokanees public listing (uncompleted as at December 31, 2007).  In addition, the following annual payments and share issuances are due from Kokanee to the Company:  By May 15, 2007: (a) Issue 200,000 shares of Kokanee to the Company (pending completion of Kokanees public listing); and pay US$35,000 to the Company (received) By May 15, 2008: (a) Issue 300,000 shares of Kokanee to the Company; and (b) Either pay US$45,000 to the Company or issue the greater of either 300,000 common shares of Kokanee or that number of shares of Kokanee which are valued at US$45,000.

MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued):  Diamond Peak, Nevada, United States (continued)  The option granted to Kokanee is for a term of three years from the date of the agreement, subject to the following annual mineral exploration commitments: i) $100,000 to be spent by Kokanee in the first year of the agreement (incurred); ii) $300,000 in the second year, and iii) $600,000 in the third year.  The Company did not incur any exploration expenses on the Diamond Peak project during the years ended December 31, 2007 or 2006.  Nustar Claims, Arizona, United States  On April 4, 2007 the Company entered into an Agreement with NUSTAR Exploration LLC, a private Arizona limited liability corporation, for the acquisition of a 100% interest in 427 mineral claims located in the Arizona Strip of the Colorado Plateau in northwest Arizona.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the claims by making a cash payment of US$128,100 (paid) and issuing 200,000 shares of common stock (issued) with a fair value of $1.21 per share or $242,000, subject to a gross royalty of 4% (the Royalty) of sales revenue from commercial production of uranium from the claims.   For each breccia pipe identified on the claims that goes into commercial production, the Company shall have the right to purchase 3% of the 4% Royalty on that breccia pipe by payment of $1,000,000.  The Company has also paid filing fees of $70,353, which have been capitalized as acquisition costs.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred $1,963 for geological consulting on the claims.  Ravin Claims, Nevada, United States  On September 10, 2007 the Company entered into an Option Agreement with Energex, a Nevada corporation, for the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Ravin molybdenum/tungsten property, 162 mineral claims located in Lander County, Nevada.  Energex is wholly-owned by Clancy J. Wendt, the Vice President of Exploration for the Company.  The terms of the Option Agreement with Energex call for the payment of US$5,000 on execution of the agreement (paid), US$25,000 by September 10, 2008, US$35,000 by September 10, 2009 and US$50,000 on each anniversary thereafter.

In addition, there are resource-related expenditures of approximately $3,291, 000 (2006: $1,482,000) which may be used to offset future taxable Canadian resource income indefinitely, subject to annual rates prescribed by the Canadian Income Tax Act.  Due to the uncertainty of realization of these loss carry forwards and resource pools, the benefits have not been reflected in the financial statements as the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the potential future tax assets resulting from these loss carry forwards and resource pools.

UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (Canadian GAAP) which differ in certain respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and from practices prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively US GAAP).  Material differences to these financial statements are as follows:  a) Exploration stage enterprise:  Under US accounting standards, the Company is considered to be an enterprise in the exploration stage as substantially all of its efforts have been directed towards the investigation of business opportunities and exploration of resource properties.  Accounting principles for exploration stage enterprises require the specific disclosure of this fact and the presentation of certain cumulative information from the inception of the exploration stage.  However, it does not require any changes in the measurement of assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses from that set out in the financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.  b) Statement of stockholders equity:  US accounting standards require a separate Statement of Stockholders Equity disclosing historical transactions from inception.  The information required in this statement is otherwise presented in the financial statements in Note 5.  c) Mineral property costs:  Under Canadian GAAP, mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs may be deferred and amortized as disclosed in Note 2.  Under US GAAP, mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows, have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures.  The Company has not capitalized mineral property option payments under US GAAP as management does not consider these payments to be tangible property costs under EITF 04-2.  Under US GAAP mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.  As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has determined that all acquisition and exploration costs should be expensed. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.   99  NOTE 9. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)  d) Stock-based compensation  The Company has previously granted stock options to certain directors, employees and consultants.  Under Canadian GAAP, prior to 2003, no compensation expense was recorded in connection with the granting of stock options.  Under previous US GAAP, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation in respect of stock options granted to directors and employees using the intrinsic value based method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25.  Stock options granted to non-employees were accounted for by applying the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123).  Commencing January 1, 2003, under Canadian GAAP the Company expenses the fair value of all stock options granted and under US GAAP has elected to prospectively change its accounting policy to account for all stock options granted in accordance with SFAS 123.  On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123.  SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion 25, and amends SFAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows.  SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date of grant.  As a result, effective January 1, 2003, there is no material difference between the Companys accounting for stock options under US GAAP versus Canadian GAAP.  e) Summary of financial statement information  The effect of the accounting differences for mineral property costs and stock-based compensation are as follows:  Consolidated Balance SheetsYear ended December 31,Cumulative from April 25, 1994 (inception)200720062005to December 31, 2007$$$$Total assets, Canadian GAAP10,801,8022,276,5801,895,593Mineral property costs(2,886,325)(1,371,697)(1,305,173)Total assets, US GAAP7,915,477904,883590,420Deficit, Canadian GAAP(3,607,852)(2,514,298)(1,792,140)(3,607,852)Mineral property costs(2,886,325)(1,371,697)(1,305,173)(2,886,325)Stock-based compensation(6,611)(6,611)(6,611)(6,611)Deficit, US GAAP(6,493,161)(3,892,606)(3,103,924)(6,493,161)  Consolidated Statements of OperationsNet loss, Canadian GAAP(1,093,554)(722,158)(464,981)(3,607,852)Mineral property costs(1,514,628)(66,524)(623,311)(2,886,325)Stock-based compensation---(6,611)Net loss, US GAAP(2,608,182)(788,682)(1,088,292)(6,500,788)Basic net loss per share, US GAAP(0.15)(0.07)(0.14)     100  NOTE 9.

This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No. 51." This statement requires that noncontrolling or minority interests in subsidiaries be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parents' equity, and that the amount of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Currently the Company does not anticipate that this statement will have an impact on its financial statements.  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) Business Combinations. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Companys financial statements upon adoption.  On December 21, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, (SAB 110). SAB 110 provides guidance to issuers on the method allowed in developing estimates of expected term of plain vanilla share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. The staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of a simplified method beyond December 31, 2007 which amends question 6 of Section D.2 as included in SAB 107, Valuation of Share-Based Payment Arrangements for Public Companies, which stated that the simplified method could not be used beyond December 31, 2007. SAB 110 is effective January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SAB 110 will have on its financial statements.  In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity's liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS 161 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, will be adopted by the   101  Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The Company does not expect there to be any significant impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.  102  Item 18.
