U.S./Canadian Dollar Exchange Rates

In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars (Cdn$). The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar (US$).

Table No. 3 below sets out the rate of exchange for the Canadian dollar at July 31, 2005, July 31, 2004, July 31, 2003, July 31, 2002 and July 31 2001, the average rates for the period, and the range of high and low rates for the period. Table No. 4 sets out the high and low rates of exchange for the Canadian dollar for each month during the previous six months.

For purposes of these tables, the rate of exchange means the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The tables set out the number of Canadian dollars required under that formula to buy one U.S. dollar. The average rate in Table No. 3 means the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the period.

|D. | Risk Factors
|-- | ------------

Our exploration programs may not result in a commercial mining operation.

Mineral exploration involves significant risk because few properties that are explored contain bodies of ore that would be commercially economic to develop into producing mines. Our mineral properties are without a known body of commercial ore and our proposed programs are an exploratory search for ore. We do not know whether our current exploration programs will result in any commercial mining operation. If the exploration programs do not result in the discovery of commercial ore, we will be required to acquire additional properties and write-off all of our investments in our existing properties.

We may not have sufficient funds to complete further exploration programs.

We have limited financial resources, do not generate operating revenue, and must finance our exploration activity by other means. We do not know whether additional funding will be available for further exploration of our projects or to fulfil our anticipated obligations under our existing property agreements. If we fail to obtain additional financing, we will have to delay or cancel further exploration of our properties, and we could lose all of our interest in our properties.

Factors beyond our control may determine whether any mineral deposits we discover are sufficiently economic to be developed into a mine.

The determination of whether our mineral deposits are economic is affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include:

| |  | market fluctuations for precious metals;
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| |  | metallurgical recoveries associated with the mineralization;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | government regulations governing prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have no revenue from operations and no ongoing mining operations of any kind.

We are a mineral exploration company and have no revenues from operations and no ongoing mining operations of any kind. If our exploration programs successfully locate an economic ore body, we will be subject to additional risks associated with mining including the following:

| |  | We will require additional funds to place the ore body into commercial production. Substantial expenditures will be required to:
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | establish ore reserves through drilling;
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| |  | develop metallurgical processes to extract the metals from the ore; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | construct the mining and processing facilities at any site chosen for mining.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We do not know whether additional financing will be available at all or on acceptable terms. If additional financing is not available, we may have to postpone the development of, or sell, the property.

| |  | The majority of our property interests are not located in developed areas and as a result may not be served by appropriate:
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | road access;
| | - | ------------

| |  | water and power supply; and
| | - | ---------------------------

| |  | other support infrastructure.
| | - | -----------------------------

These items are often needed for development of a commercial mine. If we cannot procure or develop roads, water, power and other infrastructure at a reasonable cost, it may not be economic to develop properties, where our exploration has otherwise been successful, into a commercial mining operation.

| |  | In making determinations about whether to proceed to the next stage of development, we must rely upon estimated calculations as to the mineral reserves and grades of mineralization on our properties. Until ore is actually mined and processed, mineral reserves and grades of mineralization must be considered as estimates only. Any material changes in mineral reserve estimates and grades of mineralization will affect the economic viability of the placing of a property into production and a propertys return on capital.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Mining operations often encounter unpredictable risks and hazards that add expense or cause delay. These include:
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | unusual or unexpected geological formations;
| | - | --------------------------------------------

| |  | changes in metallurgical processing requiremenets;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------

| |  | power outages;
| | - | --------------

| |  | labour disruptions;
| | - | -------------------

| |  | flooding, explosions, rockbursts, cave-ins, landslides, and;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may become subject to liabilities in connection with:

| |  | pollution;
| | - | ----------

| |  | cave-ins; or
| | - | ------------

| |  | hazards against which we cannot insure against or which we may elect not to insure.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The payment of these liabilities could require the use of financial resources that would otherwise be spent on mining operations.

| |  | Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to national and local laws and regulations governing:
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | prospecting, development, mining and production;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------

| |  | exports and taxes;
| | - | ------------------

| |  | labour standards, occupational health and mine safety;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------

| |  | waste disposal, toxic substances, land use and environmental protection.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to comply, we may be required to make capital and operating expenditures or to close an operation until a particular problem is remedied. In addition, if our activities violate any such laws and regulations, we may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage, and may be fined if convicted of an offence under such legislation.

| |  | Our profitability and long-term viability will depend, in large part, on the market price of gold. The market prices for these metals are volatile and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including:
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | global or regional consumption patterns;
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| |  | supply of, and demand for, gold;
| | - | --------------------------------

| |  | speculative activities;
| | - | -----------------------

| |  | expectations for inflation; and
| | - | -------------------------------

| |  | political and economic conditions.
| | - | ----------------------------------

We cannot predict the effect of these factors on metals prices.

Our properties may be subject to uncertain title.

We own, lease or have under option, unpatented and patented mining claims, mineral claims or concessions which constitute our property holdings. The ownership and validity, or title, of unpatented mining claims and concessions are often uncertain and may be contested. A successful claim contesting our title to a property will cause us to lose our rights to explore and, if warranted, develop that property. This could result in our not being compensated for our prior expenditures relating to the property.

Land reclamation requirements for our exploration properties may be burdensome.

Although variable depending on location and the governing authority, land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies (as well as companies with mining operations) in order to minimize long term effects of land disturbance. Reclamation may include requirements to:

| |  | control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to carry out reclamation obligations imposed on us in connection with our mineral exploration, we must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration programs.

Political or economic instability or unexpected regulatory change in the countries where our properties are located could adversely affect our business.

Certain of our properties are located in countries, provinces and states more likely to be subject to political and economic instability, or unexpected legislative change, than is usually the case in certain other countries, provinces and states. Our mineral exploration activities could be adversely affected by:

| |  | political instability and violence;
| | - | -----------------------------------

| |  | war and civil disturbance;
| | - | --------------------------

| |  | expropriation or nationalization;
| | - | ---------------------------------

| |  | changing fiscal regimes;
| | - | ------------------------

| |  | fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| |  | high rates of inflation;
| | - | ------------------------

| |  | underdeveloped industrial and economic infrastructure; and
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------

| |  | unenforceability of contractual rights;
| | - | ---------------------------------------

any of which may adversely affect our business in that country.

We may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

We maintain our accounts in Canadian dollars. Any appreciation in the currency of Mexico or other countries where we carryout exploration activities against the Canadian dollar will increase our costs of carrying out operations in such countries.

We face industry competition in the acquisition of exploration properties and the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel.

We compete with other exploration companies, many of which have greater financial resources than us or are further along in their development, for the acquisition of mineral claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel. If we require and are unsuccessful in acquiring additional mineral properties or personnel, we will not be able to grow at the rate we desire or at all.

Some of our directors and officers have conflicts of interest as a result of their involvement with other natural resource companies.

Some of our directors and officers are directors or officers of other natural resource or mining-related companies such as, at present, Mr. Quartermain who serves as a director and officer of Radiant Resources Inc. and Silver Standard Resources Inc. and as a director of IAMGold Corporation, Vista Gold Corporation and Minco Silver Corporation. These associations give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. In particular, our directors who also serve as directors of other companies in the same industry may be presented with business opportunities which are made available to such competing companies and not to us.

Enforcement of judgments or bringing actions outside the United States against us and our directors and officer may be difficult.

We are organized under the law of and headquartered in British Columbia, Canada, and none of our directors and officers are citizens or residents of the United States. In addition, a substantial part of our assets are located outside the United States and Canada. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for an investor to (a) enforce in courts outside the United States judgments against us and our directors and officers obtained in United States courts based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or (b) bring in courts outside the United States an original action against us and our directors and officers to enforce liabilities based upon such United States securities laws.

|B. | Business Overview
|-- | -----------------

All disclosure about our exploration properties in this Annual Report conforms to the standards of United States Securities & Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7,Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations.

Our primary business focus is the exploration for gold in Mexico. We are an exploration stage company and none of our properties are currently beyond the advanced exploration stage. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties and further exploration work may be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined. For further information, see Item 3.D  Risk Factors.

We do not currently have a principal mineral property. We have four properties that are prospective for gold located in Mexico, which we intend to focus our exploration efforts on in 2005. These gold properties are the Rodeo Gold Prospect, Yerbabuena Gold Prospect, El Rincon Gold Prospect and Mecatona Gold Prospect. We also have a number of property holdings prospective for platinum group metals in the Nipigon Region in Ontario, Canada that we have placed on care and maintenance and are not considered principal or secondary properties.

Mexican Gold Prospects

Rodeo Gold Prospect

The Rodeo gold prospect is located approximately 150 kilometers north of Durango, Mexico and is comprised of two mineral claims covering an area of 13,820-hectare (53.4 square miles). The property is accessed by paved highway.

The Rodeo property is located along a major northwest-trending fault system, which places volcanic rocks against limestones and shales.

The Rodeo prospect was explored in the 1990s by Monarch Resources de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., whose objective was to locate near-surface, bulk tonnage gold mineralization. Monarch completed extensive mapping, selective and grid rock chip sampling, and reverse circulation drilling. Sampling demonstrated highly anomalous disseminated and vein-controlled values in gold, silver, arsenic, antimony and mercury. Strong geochemical anomalies were noted in multiple target areas over significant lengths and widths.

In January and February 2004, we carried out a Phase 1 drill program at Rodeo of reverse circulation drilling (a rotary percussion drill in which the drilling mud and cuttings return to the surface through the drill pipe). Results of the program ranged from 0.71 grams per tonne of gold over 10 metres (0.02 ounces per ton of gold over 32.8 feet) to 5.94 grams per tonne of gold over 27 metres (0.17 ounces of gold per ton over 88.6). In September 2004, we completed a Phase 2 drill program at Rodeo, with results ranging from holes with no significant values of gold to 2.04 grams of gold per tonne over 29 metres (0.06 ounces of gold per ton over 95.1 feet). In the two programs, a total of 2,377 meters in 21 holes were drilled.

Yerbabuena Gold Prospect

The Yerbabuena gold prospect is located approximately 150 kilometers north-northwest of Durango, Mexico and is comprised of three mineral claims totaling 7,610 hectares (29.4 square miles). The property is accessed by gravel road.

Table of Contents



The Yerbabuena prospect is located along a major northwest-trending fault system, which places volcanic rocks against limestones and shales. The property covers four distinct areas of mineralization.

In May 2005, we completed a Phase 1 drill program at Yerbabuena consisting of 12 reverse circulation drill holes totalling 1,882 meters and three diamond drill holes (a type of rotary drill in which the cutting is done by abrasion using diamonds embedded in a matrix with the drill cutting a core of rock which is recovered in long cylindrical sections) totalling 608 meters. Results of the program ranged from no significant values in certain drill holes to 0.57 grams per tonne of gold over 31.5 metres (0.02 ounces of gold per ton over 103 feet).

Santa Lucia Gold Prospect

The Santa Lucia project is located in the state of Baja California Norte just south of the U.S.  Mexico border approximately 70 miles east of Tijuana. The property is comprised of one mineral claim covering an area of 4,550-hectare (17.6 square miles). The property is accessed by paved highway.

Santa Lucia is prospective for bulk mineable, epithermal gold mineralization located in feeder systems defined by fault structures. At Santa Lucia, an east-west trending ridge and low hills are composed of a basement complex of plutonic rock intruding structurally contorted marble, gneiss and schist overlain by the Pliocene Canebrake Conglomerate and Imperial Formation.

A drill program was completed on the Santa Lucia prospect in July, 2004. No significant results were encountered. Following completion of the drill program, additional geological interpretation of the prospect was carried out, which concluded that no further work be carried out on the prospect. In October 2005, we returned the Santa Lucia gold prospect to LCI. We no longer hold an interest in the Santa Lucia prospect.

El Rincon Gold Prospect

The El Rincon Gold Prospect is located approximately 100 kilometers north of Durango, Mexico and is comprised of one mineral claim totaling 13,300 hectares (51.4 square miles). The property is accessed by gravel road.

The El Rincon prospect is located along a northeast-trending structural corridor which hosts two nearby gold deposits. The property covers geophysical anomalies for which mapping, sampling and detailed geophysics are recommended prior to drilling.

Mecatona Gold Prospect

The Mecatona Gold Prospect is located approximately 12 miles south of Parral, Mexico and is comprised of four claim blocks covering approximately 15.4 square miles (4,000 hectares). The property is accessed by gravel road.

The properties cover the principal veins of the Mecatona gold-silver district where historic mining activities focused on gold-silver production from epithermal veins measuring from one to five meters in thickness. Compilation of mapping and sampling is underway to identify drill sites.

Office Space

Under a Management Services Agreement with Silver Standard, we retained Silver Standard to provide us with general corporate management, administrative and technical services. For personnel, hourly rates charged are based on direct salary costs and benefits, as well as a factor for overhead costs, office equipment, usage, management services personnel, office space and furnishings. See Item 6D.  Employees.

|Item 5 | Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
|------ | --------------------------------------------

|A. | Operating Results
|-- | -----------------

Managements discussion and analysis is presented in relation to our financial statements, which statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Reference should be made to note 13 to our financial statements for a discussion of material differences from the amount presented to U.S. GAAP.

Year ended July 31, 2005 compared to year ended July 31, 2004.

During the fiscal year-ended July 31, 2005, we incurred a loss of $1,493,747 ($0.05 per share) compared to a loss of $1,270,193 ($0.06 per share) for fiscal year-ended July 31, 2004.

Total expenses for the year, including non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, decreased to $402,431 from the $557,428 recorded in the prior year. Without stock-based compensation expense, total cash expenses were $291,431, which is only slightly higher than the $283,528 recorded in the prior year. Exploration expense increased to $14,780 from $5,347 in the prior year with all of the increase relating to Mexican generative programs. The arrangement with G2 Consultants Corporation to provide financial relations services continued throughout fiscal 2005. Investor relations costs for fiscal 2005 stayed relatively the same at $156,928 from the $157,938 recorded in the prior year and of the amount expended in fiscal 2005, $82,000 (2004 - $94,000) was paid to G2 Consultants. Listing and filing fees of $7,752 (2004 - $19,107) were down in the current year due to less financing activity. Mid-way through fiscal 2004, the
arrangement with Silver Standard Resources Inc., whereby Silver Standard provided certain administrative services for the company was amended. Prior to the change, Silver Standard charged us a flat monthly fee for management administration and rent. After the change, these costs were charged to us at the salary charge-out rates. The overall impact on us was approximately neutral as reductions in the management administration fee and office rent expense were offset by a corresponding increase in salary expense.

In fiscal 2005, a $111,000 stock-based compensation expense (2004  $273,900) was recorded reflecting the expensing of the non-cash fair value of options granted to employees, directors and officers.

Interest income decreased to $21,239 in fiscal 2005, compared to $26,386 in fiscal 2004. This decrease relates to lower cash balances available for investment partially offset by higher interest rates.

A total of $1,133,280 in mineral properties in Ontario and Mexico were abandoned and written off in fiscal 2005 compared to $745,151 written off in the prior year. Properties written off were Stucco ($12,176), Grand Bay ($346,297) and Geikie properties ($520,149) in Ontario, and Santa Lucia property ($254,658) in Mexico.

During the current year, flow-through shares totalling $100,000 were issued, these funds are required to be spent on certain Canadian exploration expenditures. Because we no longer have the ability to use the expenditures for tax purposes, we are required to record a future tax liability, which is equal to the renunciation, times the corporation tax rate when expenditures are renounced. However, because we have unused tax losses and resource pools in excess of the renunciation, the future tax liability becomes a future income tax recovery and, as a consequence, a $35,600 recovery was recorded in fiscal 2005.

Year ended July 31, 2004 compared to year ended July 31, 2003.

During the fiscal year-ended July 31, 2004, we incurred a loss of $1,270,193 ($0.06 per share) compared to a loss of $294,424 ($0.02 per share) for fiscal year-ended July 31, 2003.

In December 2003, we closed a $1,350,000 private placement financing and commenced a more active program for gold properties in Mexico which resulted in a number of properties being acquired. Along with this increased activity, expenses for the year increased to $557,428 from the $105,178 recorded in the comparable period in the prior year. Exploration expense increased to $5,347 from $3,258 in the prior year with all the increase relating to Mexico. The arrangement with G2 Consultants Corporation to provide financial relations services, which commenced in June 2003, continued throughout fiscal 2004. As a consequence, investor relations costs for fiscal 2004 increased to $157,938 from $15,051 in the prior year and of the amount expended in fiscal 2004, $94,000 was paid to G2 Consultants. Other expenses that increased with the increased activity levels included insurance at $8,765 (2003 - $604), legal, accounting and
audit $15,476 (2003 - $4,200), listing and filing fees $19,107 (2003 - $8,666). Mid-way through fiscal 2004, the arrangement with Silver Standard Resources Inc., whereby Silver Standard provided certain administrative services for us changed. Prior to the change, Silver Standard charged the company a flat monthly fee for management administration and rent. After the change, these costs were charged to us at the salary charge-out rates. The overall impact on the company was neutral as reductions in the management administration fee and office rent expense were offset by a corresponding increase in salary expense.

In fiscal 2004, a $273,900 stock-based compensation expense (2003  nil) was recorded reflecting the change in accounting policy whereby the fair value of options granted to employees, directors and officers are now being expensed.Interest income increased to $26,386 in fiscal 2004, compared to $2,318 in fiscal 2003. This increase relates to higher cash balances available for investment.

A total of $745,151 in mineral properties in Ontario were abandoned and written off in fiscal 2004 compared to $191,564 written off in the prior year. Properties written off were Voltaire-Johnspine - $561,947 and Posh - $183,204.

|(3) | The large loss recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004 is mainly attributed to the combination of $561,947 in property costs written off relating to the Voltaire-Johnspine property and $266,300 in expensing of values assigned to options granted during the year.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|B. | Liquidity and Capital Resources
|-- | -------------------------------

At July 31, 2005, we had $486,251 (2004 - $1,580,412) in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $445,314 (2004 - $1,622,925). Management has estimated that we will have adequate funds from existing working capital to meet our corporate, administrative and property obligations for the coming year. If we are to advance or develop our mineral properties further, it will be necessary to obtain additional financing and while we have been successful in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

During the most recently completed financial year, except for the above-noted Stock Options, our directors did not receive compensation for services provided to us in their capacities as directors and/or consultants and/or experts.

Compensation of Directors and Senior Officers

Total compensation for all directors and senior officers during the year ended July 31, 2005 totalled $52,715, based on hourly rates charged for personnel by Silver Standard, which included direct salary costs and benefits, as well as a factor for overhead costs, office equipment, usage, management services personnel, office space and furnishings (see Item 6.D.  Employees). The reported figure is for direct salary costs and benefits only.

Executive Benefits

We do not have a pension, retirement fund or similar benefits plan or other arrangement for non-cash compensation to our directors or senior officers, with the exception of incentive stock options.

Options to Purchase Securities from Company or Subsidiaries

Options Outstanding

Stock Options to purchase our securities are granted to our directors, officers and employees on terms and conditions acceptable to the regulatory authorities in Canada, notably the TSX Venture Exchange (the Exchange). Our board of directors adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan under which 10% of our issued and outstanding shares are reserved for issuance on the exercise of incentive stock options (including previously issued stock options). The 2003 Stock Option Plan was first approved by our shareholders at our 2003 Annual General Meeting held on December 17, 2003 and will be placed before our shareholders for approval at our 2005 Annual General Meeting to be held on December 15, 2005.

Under our 2003 Stock Option Plan, (a) stock options in favor of any one individual may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, (b) no stock option is transferable by the optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, (c) a stock option is exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee, (d) the maximum term of each stock option is five years, with the vesting period determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors and (e) the minimum exercise price for a stock option is the last closing price of our common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange immediately preceding the granting of the option.

The number of stock options and the number of common shares subject to such stock options granted to executive officers as a group and to directors who are not executive officers as a group are set out below as of July 31, 2005. The exercise price of the stock options is stated in Canadian dollars.

|C. | Board Practices
|-- | ---------------

Our directors are elected annually and hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until their successors in office are duly elected or appointed. We do not have an executive committee. All directors are elected for a one-year term. All officers serve at the pleasure of the Board. The next annual general meeting of our shareholders has been called for December 15, 2005.

Our Board of Directors has two committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Comittee. The members of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee do not have any fixed terms for holding their positions, are appointed and replaced from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors and do not receive any separate remuneration for acting as members of the committees.

The Audit Committee, comprised of R.E. Gordon Davis, Robert Quartermain and James Tutton, has the responsibility of reviewing with our Auditor all financial statements to be submitted to an annual general meeting of our shareholders, prior to their consideration by the Board of Directors. Following its review, the Audit Committee must submit a report on the financial statements to the Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee, comprised of R.E. Gordon Davis, Robert Quartermain and James Tutton, has the responsibility for determining executive and management direct remuneration and stock options. The Presidents function in relation to the Compensation Committee is to make specific recommendations on remuneration with supporting commentary on individual performance and industry standards.

Currently, we do not have service contracts with any of our officers or those of our subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of employment (see Item 6.B  Compensation).

|D. | Employees
|-- | ---------

On February 1, 2004, we entered into a management services agreement with Silver Standard. Under the agreement, Silver Standard provides us with general corporate management, administrative and technical services. For personnel, hourly rates charged are based on direct salary costs and benefits, as well as a factor for overhead costs, office equipment, usage, management services personnel, office space and furnishings. The agreement also provides for Silver Standard to recalculate charge out rates from time to time to take into account increased costs of providing the services. Effective January 1, 2005, Silver Standard increased its charge out rates.

|------ | ---------------------

|A. | Offer and Listing Details
|-- | -------------------------

We became a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia upon the issuance of a receipt for a prospectus on December 11, 1967 and our common shares were first listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange (a predecessor of the TSX Venture Exchange) on June 21, 1972. In April 1992, our common shares were delisted by the Vancouver Stock Exchange for failure to pay sustaining fees. We were the subject of cease trade orders issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission on September 9, 1992 and January 11, 1993, for failure to submit statutory filings. Both of these cease trade orders were rescinded by the British Columbia Securities Commission on January 22, 1993.

Our initial public offering prospectus was filed with and receipted by the British Columbia and Alberta Securities Commissions on February 14, 2001. Effective March 22, 2001, our common shares again commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, under the trading symbol CPQ and CUSIP #138054-10-1.

The following tables set out the reported high and low prices for (a) the five most recent fiscal years; (b) each quarterly period for the past two fiscal years and for the first quarter of 2005; and (c) each month for the past six months.

Incorporation

We were incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, under Certificate of Incorporation number 72955 on February 15, 1967. We do not have any stated objects or purposes as such are not required by the corporate laws of the Province of British Columbia. Rather, we are, by such corporate laws, entitled to carry on any activities whatsoever, which are not specifically precluded by other statutory provisions of the Province of British Columbia.

Powers and Functions of the Directors

The powers and functions of the directors are set out in our Articles which were adopted on December 15, 2004 and filed on May 16, 2005. They provide:

| | (a) | a director is obligated to disclose his potential interest in a proposal, arrangement or contract being considered by us, and may not vote on any proposal, arrangement or contract proposed, but such director shall be counted in the quorum at the meeting of the directors at which the proposal, arrangement or contract is approved;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | the directors may, in the absence of an independent quorum, vote compensation to themselves;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | there are no limitations on the exercise by the directors of our borrowing powers;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d) | there are no provisions for the retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (e) | there is no requirement for a director to hold any of our shares.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------

Rights and Restrictions Attached to the Shares

As all of our authorized and issued shares are of one class there are no special rights or restrictions of any nature or kind attached to any of the shares. All authorized and issued shares rank equally in respect to the declaration and receipt of dividends, the rights to share in any profits or surplus on our liquidation, dissolution or winding. Each share has attached to it one non-cumulative vote.

Alteration of Share Rights

To alter the rights of holders of our issued shares such alteration must be approved by the majority vote of 66 2/3% of our issued shares attending and voting at a meeting of our shareholders.

Table of Contents

Annual General Meetings

Annual general meetings are called and scheduled upon decision by the Board of Directors. The directors may convene an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders. The holders of not less than 5% of our issued shares may requisition an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders. All meetings of the shareholders may be attended by registered shareholders or persons who hold powers of attorney or proxies given to them by registered shareholders.

Foreign Ownership Limitations

Our Articles do not contain limitations prohibiting shares being held by non-residents, foreigners or any other group.

Change of Control

There are no provisions in our Articles that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control, or that would operate with respect to any proposed merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring.

Share Ownership Reporting Obligations

There are no provisions in our Articles requiring share ownership to be disclosed. The securities laws of the Province of British Columbia require disclosure of shareholdings by:

| | (a) | persons who are our directors or senior officers; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | a person who has direct or indirect beneficial ownership of, control or direction over, or a combination of direct or indirect beneficial ownership of and control or direction over our securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding voting securities.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Differences from U.S. Law

The threshold of share ownership percentage requiring disclosure of ownership is higher in the home jurisdiction of British Columbia than the U.S. where U.S. securities law prescribes a 5% threshold for ownership disclosure.

|D. | Exchange Controls and Investment Canada Act
|-- | -------------------------------------------

Canada has no system of exchange controls. There are no exchange restrictions on borrowing from foreign countries nor on the remittance of dividends, interest, royalties and similar payments, management fees, loan repayments, settlement of trade debts, or the repatriation of capital. Any such remittances to United States residents, however, may be subject to a withholding tax pursuant to the Canadian Income Tax Act as modified by the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States. See Item 10 E, Taxation.

The Investment Canada Act (the Act), enacted on June 20, 1985, requires prior notification to the Government of Canada on the acquisition of control of Canadian businesses by non-Canadians, as defined in the Act. Certain acquisitions of control, discussed below, are reviewed by the Government of Canada. The term acquisition of control is defined as any one or more non-Canadian persons acquiring all or substantially all of the assets used in the Canadian business, or the acquisition of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation carrying on the Canadian business or the acquisition of the voting interests of an entity controlling or carrying on the Canadian business. The acquisition of the majority of the outstanding shares is deemed to be an acquisition of control of a corporation. The acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the voting shares of a
corporation is presumed to be an acquisition of control of a corporation unless it can be established that the purchaser will not control the corporation.

Investments requiring notification and review are all direct acquisitions of Canadian businesses with assets of C$5,000,000 or more (subject to the comments below on WTO investors), and all indirect acquisitions of Canadian businesses (subject to the comments below on WTO investors) with assets of more than C$50,000,000 or with assets of between C$5,000,000 and C$50,000,000 which represent more than 50% of the value of the total international transaction. In addition, specific acquisitions or new businesses in designated types of business activities related to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity could be reviewed if the Government of Canada considers that it is in the public interest to do so.

The Act was amended with the implementation of the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO) to provide for special review thresholds for WTO investors, as defined in the Act. WTO investor generally means (i) an individual, other than a Canadian, who is a national or a WTO member (such as, for example, the United States), or who has the right of permanent residence in relation to that WTO member, (ii) governments of WTO members, and (iii) entities that are not Canadian controlled, but which are WTO investor controlled, as determined by rules specified in the Act. The special review thresholds for WTO investors do not apply, and the general rules described above do apply, to the acquisition of control of certain types of businesses specified in the Act, including a business that is a cultural business. If the WTO investor rules apply, an investment in our
shares by or from a



| | -31-

Table of Contents

WTO investor will be reviewable only if it is an investment to acquire control of Canplats and the value of our assets is equal to or greater than a specified amount (the WTO Review Threshold). The WTO Review Threshold is adjusted annually by a formula relating to increases in the nominal gross domestic product of Canada. The 2005 WTO Review Threshold is C$250,000,000.

If any non-Canadian, whether or not a WTO investor, acquires control of Canplats by the acquisition of shares, but the transaction is not reviewable as described above, the non-Canadian is required to notify the Canadian government and to provide certain basic information relating to the investment. A non-Canadian, whether or not a WTO investor, is also required to provide a notice to the government on the establishment of a new Canadian business. If our business is then a prescribed type of business activity related to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity, and if the Canadian government considers it to be in the public interest to do so, then the Canadian government may give notice in writing within 21 days requiring the investment to be reviewed.

For non-Canadians (other than WTO investors), an indirect acquisition of control, by the acquisition of voting interests of an entity that directly or indirectly controls Canplats, is reviewable if the value of our assets is then C$50,000,000 or more. If the WTO investor rules apply, then this requirement does not apply to a WTO investor, or to a person acquiring the entity from a WTO investor. Special rules specified in the Act apply if the value of our assets is more than 50% of the value of the entity so acquired. By these special rules, if the non-Canadian (whether or not a WTO investor) is acquiring control of an entity that directly or indirectly controls Canplats, and the value of our assets and all other entities carrying on business in Canada, calculated in the manner provided in the Act and the regulations under the Act, is more than 50% of the value, calculated in the manner provided in the Act and the
regulations under the Act, of the assets of all entities, the control of which is acquired, directly or indirectly, in the transition of which the acquisition of control of Canplats forms a part, then the thresholds for a direct acquisition of control as discussed above will apply, that is, a WTO Review Threshold of C$192,000,000 (in 2000) for a WTO investor or a threshold of C$5,000,000 for a non-Canadian other than a WTO investor. If the value exceeds that level, then the transaction must be reviewed in the same manner as a direct acquisition of control by the purchase of our shares.

If an investment is reviewable, an application for review in the form prescribed by the regulations is normally required to be filed with the Director appointed under the Act (the Director) prior to the investment taking place and the investment may not be consummated until the review has been completed. There are, however, certain exceptions. Applications concerning indirect acquisitions may be filed up to 30 days after the investment is consummated and applications concerning reviewable investments in culture-sensitive sectors are required upon receipt of a notice for review. In addition, the Minister (a person designated as such under the Act) may permit an investment to be consummated prior to completion of the review, if he is satisfied that delay would cause undue hardship to the acquirer or jeopardize the operations of the Canadian business that is being acquired. The Director will submit the
application to the Minister, together with any other information or written undertakings given by the acquirer and any representation submitted to the Director by a province that is likely to be significantly affected by the investment.

The Minister will then determine whether the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, taking into account the information provided and having regard to certain factors of assessment where they are relevant. Some of the factors to be considered are (i) the effect of the investment on the level and nature of economic activity in Canada, including the effect on employment, on resource processing, and on the utilization of parts, components and services produced in Canada; (ii) the effect of the investment on exports from Canada; (iii) the degree and significance of participation by Canadians in the Canadian business and in any industry in Canada of which it forms a part; (iv) the effect of the investment on productivity, industrial efficiency, technological development, product innovation and product variety in Canada; (v) the effect of the investment on competition within any industry or industries in Canada;
(vi) the compatibility of the investment with national industrial, economic and cultural policies; (vii) the compatibility of the investment with national industrial, economic and cultural policies taking into consideration industrial, economic and cultural objectives enunciated by the government or legislature of any province likely to be significantly affected by the investment; and (viii) the contribution of the investment to Canada's ability to compete in world markets.



| | -32-

Table of Contents

The Act sets certain time limits for the Director and the Minister. Within 45 days after a completed application has been received, the Minister must notify the acquirer that (a) he is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, or (b) he is unable to complete his review, in which case he shall have 30 additional days to complete his review (unless the acquirer agrees to a longer period), or (c) he is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.

Where the Minister has advised the acquirer that he is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the acquirer has the right to make representations and submit undertakings within 30 days of the date of the notice (or any further period that is agreed upon between the acquirer and the Minister). On the expiration of the 30 day period (or the agreed extension), the Minister must quickly notify the acquirer (i) that he is now satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada or (ii) that he is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. In the latter case, the acquirer may not proceed with the investment or, if the investment has already been consummated, must divest itself of control of the Canadian business.

The Act provides civil remedies for non-compliance with any provision. There are also criminal penalties for breach of confidentiality or providing false information.

|E. | Taxation
|-- | --------

A brief description of certain provisions of the tax treaty between Canada and the United States is included below, together with a brief outline of certain taxes, including withholding provisions, to which United States security holders are subject under existing laws and regulations of Canada. The consequences, if any, of provincial, state and local taxes are not considered.

The Company recommends security holders seek the advice of their own tax advisors, tax counsel or accountants with respect to the applicability or effect on their own individual circumstances of the matters referred to herein and of any provincial, state or local taxes.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

The discussion under this heading summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of common stock of the Company for a shareholder of the Company who is not a resident of Canada but is a resident of the United States and who will acquire and hold shares of common stock of the Company as capital property for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the Canadian Tax Act). This summary does not apply to a shareholder who carries on business in Canada through a permanent establishment situated in Canada or performs independent personal services in Canada through a fixed base in Canada if the shareholders holding in the Company is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. This summary is based on the provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder and on an understanding of
the administrative practices of Revenue Canada, and takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act or regulations made by the Minister of Finance of Canada as of the date hereof. It has been assumed that there will be no other relevant amendment of any governing law although no assurance can be given in this respect. The Company recommends security holders seek the advice of their own Canadian and U.S. tax advisors.

Table of Contents

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

Dividends on Common Shares and Other Income

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

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

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

Dispositions of Common Shares

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a taxpayers capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of common stock of the Company is the amount, if any, by which his or her proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the aggregate of his or her adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition. The capital gain or loss must be computed in Canadian currency using a weighted average adjusted cost base for identical properties. One-half of a capital gain (the taxable capital gain) is included in income, and one-half of a capital loss in a year (the allowable capital loss) is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year. The amount by which a shareholders allowable capital loss exceeds the taxable capital gain in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous years or any
subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder and subject to adjustment when the capital gains inclusion rate in the year of disposition differs from the inclusion rate in the year the deduction is claimed.

If a share of common stock of the Company is disposed of to the Company other than in the open market in the manner in which shares would normally be purchased by the public, the proceeds of disposition will, in general terms, be considered as limited to the paid-up capital of the share and the balance of the price paid will be deemed to be a dividend. In the case of a shareholder that is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss otherwise determined may be reduced, in certain circumstances, by the amount of dividends previously received in respect of the shares disposed of, unless the corporation owned the shares for at least 365 days prior to sustaining the loss and (together with corporations, persons and other entities, with whom the corporation was not dealing at arms length) did not own more than five percent of the shares of any class of the corporation from which the dividend was received. These loss
limitation rules may also apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owned the shares disposed of.

Table of Contents

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

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

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general discussion of certain possible United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as hereinafter defined) of common shares of the Company. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences (see Taxation  Certain Canadian Federal Tax Consequences above).

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. The Company recommends holders and prospective holders of common shares of the Company consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of the Company.

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a U.S. Holder means a holder of common shares of the Company who is (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate whose income is taxable in the United States irrespective of source or (iv) a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and control of a United States fiduciary as described Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment
companies, broker-dealers, persons or entities that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion transaction, constructive sale or other arrangement involving more than one position, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services. This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares.

Distribution on Common Shares of the Company

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

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

Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder which is a corporation and which owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Company may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% (or 80% if the

Table of Contents

U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 20% of the voting power and value of the Company) deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a foreign personal holding company or a passive foreign investment company, as defined below). The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations which are beyond the scope of this discussion.

Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid on the Companys common shares, if any, generally will not be subject to information reporting and generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. However, dividends and the proceeds from a sale of the Companys common shares paid in the U.S. through a U.S. or U.S. related paying agent (including a broker) will be subject to U.S. information reporting requirements and may also be subject to the 31% U.S. backup withholding tax, unless the paying agent is furnished with a duly completed and signed Form W-9 or the recipient is exempt from such procedures. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax counsel regarding the
information reporting and backup withholding rules applicable to the Companys common shares.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayers income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holders United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holders foreign source income bears to his or
its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income such as passive income,  high withholding tax interest, financial services income, shipping income, and certain other classifications of income. Dividends distributed by the Company will generally constitute passive income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, financial services income for these purposes. In addition, U.S. Holders which are corporations that own 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company may be entitled to an indirect foreign tax credit under Section 902 with respect to the payment of dividends by the Company under certain circumstances and subject to complex rules and
limitations. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific, and U.S. Holders of common shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S. Information reporting requirements may apply with respect to the payment of dividends to U.S. Holders of the Companys common shares. Under Treasury regulations currently in effect, non-corporate holders may be subject to backup withholding at a 31% rate with respect to dividends when such holder (1) fails to furnish or certify a correct taxpayer identification number to the payor in the required manner, (2) is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report payments of interest or dividends properly or (3) fails, under certain circumstances, to certify that it has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding for failure to report interest and dividend payments. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a U.S. Holder generally will be allowed as a credit against the U.S.

Table of Contents

Holders U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. Certain U.S. Holders, including corporations, are not subject to backup withholding.

Disposition of Common Shares of the Company

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

Currency Exchange Gains or Losses

U.S. Holders generally are required to calculate their taxable incomes in United States dollars. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder who purchases common shares of the Company with Canadian dollars will be required to determine the tax basis of such shares in United States dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing on the settlement date of the purchase (and may be required to recognize the unrealized gain or loss, if any, in the Canadian currency surrender in the purchase transaction). Similarly, a U.S. Holder receiving dividends or sales proceeds from common shares of the Company in Canadian dollars will be required to compute the dividend income or the amount realized on the sale, as the case may be, in United States dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing at the time of receipt in the case of dividends and on the settlement date in the case of sales on an established securities exchange. Gain or loss, if any,
recognized on a disposition of Canadian currency in connection with the described transactions generally will be treated as ordinary gain or loss.

Other Considerations

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares:

Table of Contents

Foreign Personal Holding Company

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

Foreign Investment Company

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

Passive Foreign Investment Company

Certain United States income tax legislation contains rules governing passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) which can have significant tax effects on U.S. Holders of foreign corporations. These rules do not apply to non-U.S. Holders. Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States and, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if the corporation is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income is 50% or more. If a foreign corporation owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock a second
corporation, then for purposes of the PFIC tests described above, the first corporation will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets of, and as receiving a proportionate share of the income of, the second corporation. The Company believes that it qualified as a PFIC for its most recently ended fiscal year and may qualify as a PFIC in subsequent fiscal years. There can be no assurance that the Companys determination concerning its PFIC status will not be challenged or that it will be able to satisfy record keeping requirements that will be imposed on a qualified electing fund (QEF). Each U.S. Holder of the Company is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.

A U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to United States federal income taxation under one of two alternative tax regimes at the election of each such U.S. Holder. The following is a discussion of such two alternative tax regimes applied to such U.S. Holders of the Company. In addition, special rules apply if a foreign corporation qualifies as both a PFIC and a controlled foreign corporation (as defined below) and a U.S.



| | -39-
| | ----



---

Table of Contents

Holder owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of such foreign corporation (See more detailed discussion at Controlled Foreign Corporation below).

A U.S. Holder who elects in a timely manner to treat the Company as a QEF (an Electing U.S. Holder) will be subject, under Section 1293 of the Code, to current federal income tax for any taxable year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC on his pro rata share of the Companys (i) net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to the Electing U.S. Holder and (ii) ordinary earnings (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income to the Electing U.S. Holder, in each case, for the shareholders taxable year in which (or with which) the Companys taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed.

The effective QEF election also allows the Electing U.S. Holder to (i) generally treat any gain realized on the disposition of his common shares in the Company (or deemed to be realized on the pledge of his shares) as capital gain; (ii) treat his share of the Companys net capital gain, if any, as long-term capital gain instead of ordinary income; and (iii) either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of the Companys annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge. If the Electing U.S. Holder is not a corporation, such an interest charge would be treated as personal interest that is not deductible.

The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making an effective QEF election will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holders holding period in which the Company is a PFIC. If the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in such first year, i.e., a timely QEF election, then the U.S. Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the U.S. Holder files his tax return for such first year. If, however, the Company qualified as a PFIC in a prior year, then in addition to filing documents, the U.S. Holder must elect to recognize (i) under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code (discussed herein), any gain that he would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold his stock on the qualification date or (ii) if the Company is a controlled foreign corporation, the U.S. Holders pro rata share of the Companys post-1986 earnings and
profits as of the qualification date. The qualification date is the first day of the Companys first tax year in which the Company qualified as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The elections to recognize such gain or earnings and profits can only be made if such U.S. Holders holding period for the common shares of the Company includes the qualification date. By electing to recognize such gain or earnings and profits, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have made a timely QEF election. A U.S. Holder who made elections to recognize gain or earnings and profits after May 1, 1992 and before January 27, 1997 may, under certain circumstances, elect to change such U.S. Holders qualification date to the first day of the first QEF year. U.S. Holders are urged to consult a tax advisor regarding the availability of and procedure for electing to recognize gain or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.

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

Table of Contents

If a U.S. Holder does not make a timely QEF election during a year in which it holds (or is deemed to have held) the common shares in question and the Company is a PFIC (a Non-Electing U.S. Holder), then special taxation rules under Section 1291 of the Code will apply to (i) gains realized on the disposition (or deemed to be realized by reasons of a pledge) of his common shares in the Company and (ii) certain excess distributions (generally, distributions received in the current taxable year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holders holding period) by the Company.

A Non-Electing U.S. Holder generally would be required to pro rate all gains realized on the disposition of his common shares in the Company and all excess distributions on his common shares in the Company over the entire holding period for the common shares. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of the U.S. Holder (other than years prior to the first taxable year of the Company during such U.S. Holders holding period and beginning after January 1, 1987 for which it was a PFIC) would be taxed at the highest tax rate for each such prior year applicable to ordinary income. The Non-Electing U.S. Holder also would be liable for interest on the foregoing tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat this interest charge as personal interest
which, as discussed above, is wholly nondeductible. The balance of the gain or the excess distribution will be treated as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or distribution, and no interest charge will be incurred with respect to such balance.

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

Effective for tax years of U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock (as specifically defined in the Treasury Regulations) of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may annually elect to mark such stock to the market (a mark-to-market election). If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 discussed above. However, if the mark-to-market election is made by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to the common shares in the Company. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to market election will include in income for the taxable year for which the election was made an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares of the Company as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holders adjusted basis in such common shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the common shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the common shares in the Company included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior tax year but for the Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to Non-Electing U.S. Holders, over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the common shares of the Company will be adjusted to reflect the amount included in or deducted from
income as a result of a mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election applies to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each subsequent taxable year, unless the common shares of the Company cease to be marketable, as specifically defined, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election. Because the IRS has not established procedures for making a mark-to-market election, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the manner of making such an election.

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

Certain special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to common shares of the Company while the Company is a PFIC whether or not it is treated as a QEF. For example under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such shares.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

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

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our audit committee has established policies and procedures that are intended to control the services provided by our auditors and to monitor their continuing independence. Under these policies, no services may be undertaken by our auditors unless the engagement is specifically approved by our audit committee or the services are included within a category which has been pre-approved by our audit committee. The maximum charge for services is established by the audit committee when the specific engagement is approved or the category of services pre-approved. Management is required to notify the audit committee of the nature and value of pre-approved services undertaken.

Our audit committee will not approve engagements relating to, or pre-approve categories of, non-audit services to be provided by our auditors (i) if such services are of a type the performance of which would cause our auditors to cease to be independent within the meaning of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and (ii) without consideration, among other things, of whether our auditors are best situated to provide the required services and whether the required services are consistent with their role as auditor.

All services provided by our principal accountant in 2005 were pre-approved by our audit committee.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Shareholders of Canplats Resources Corporation:



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Canplats Resources Corporation (the Company) as at July 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of loss and deficit, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended July 31, 2005 and 2004. 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 the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended July 31, 2005 and 2004, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.



The consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated October 8, 2003.

Comments By Auditors For U.S. Readers On Canada - U.S. Reporting Difference



In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when financial statements are affected by future events, the outcome of which is indeterminable. As discussed in Note 1, the Companys continued existence as a going concern is dependent upon the future economic success of its exploration and development activities, the Companys ability to continue to secure adequate financing and the Company achieving a positive cash flow and profitable operations. Our report to the shareholders dated October 7, 2005 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not require a reference to such going concern considerations in the auditors report when the situation is adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



For the years ended July 31, 2005 and 2004

(expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)







|1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
|-- | ------------------------------------



The company is in the process of acquiring, exploring and developing gold and platinum group mineral properties. The company will attempt to bring the properties to production, structure joint ventures with others, option or lease properties to third parties, or sell the properties outright. The company has not determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable and the company is considered to be in the exploration stage.



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue on a going-concern basis. Management has estimated that the company will have adequate funds from existing working capital to meet its corporate, administrative and property obligations for the coming year. If the company is to advance or develop its mineral properties further, it will be necessary to obtain additional financing and while it has been successful in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.



The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, the ability of the company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production. The amounts shown as deferred expenditures and property acquisition costs represent net costs to date, less amounts amortized and/or written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.



Although the company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the companys title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may be affected by undetected defects.

Generally accepted accounting principles



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). The significant measurement differences between those principles and those that would be applied under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), as they affect the company, are disclosed in note 13.



Principles of consolidation



These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiary, Canplats de Mexico S.A. de C.V. Inter-company balances are eliminated upon consolidation.



Use of estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Significant areas where managements judgment is applied are amortization rates, asset valuations, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, future income tax valuation reserves and environmental and post-closure obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation



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.



Cash and cash equivalents



Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances held with banks and highly liquid deposits with an initial maturity of less than 90 days. Cash equivalents also include highly liquid short-term investments with an initial maturity of over 90 days that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.



Financial instruments



The companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that the company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from the financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturity or capacity of prompt liquidation.



The company is exposed to currency risk on the acquisition and exploration expenditures of its Mexican properties since it has to settle expenditures either in Mexican pesos or U.S. dollars. The companys expenditures are negatively impacted by increases either in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos versus the Canadian dollar.



Mineral properties



The company records its interests in mineral properties at cost. The costs of acquiring mineral properties and related exploration and development expenditures are deferred and would be amortized against future production following commencement of commercial production or are written off if the properties are sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned. General exploration, overhead and administration costs are expensed in the period incurred.



Management of the company regularly reviews the net carrying value of each mineral property. Where information is available and conditions suggest impairment, estimated future net cash flows from each property are calculated using estimated future prices, proven and probable reserves, and operating capital and reclamation costs on an undiscounted basis. Reductions in the carrying value of each property would be recorded to the extent the net book value of the investment exceeds the estimated future cash flows.



Where estimates of future cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses whether carrying value can be recovered.

|2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
|-- | ------------------------------------------



Managements estimates of mineral prices, recoverable proven and probable reserves, and operating capital and reclamation costs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the recoverability of mineral property costs. Although management has made its best estimate of these factors, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect managements estimate of the net cash flows to be generated from its properties. The company presently has no proven or probable reserves.



Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the related mineral property and deferred costs until the payments are in excess of costs incurred, at which time they are then credited to income.



Amortization



Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The company provides for amortization calculated using the declining balance method at rates ranging from 20% to 30% per annum. Amortization commences at the time when the assets are substantially being used.



Asset retirement obligations



The company estimates the fair value of site restoration and clean-up costs on acquisition of mineral properties and reflects this amount in the cost of the mineral property acquired.



The company recognizes a liability for its legal obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment when the liability is incurred. A liability is recognized initially at fair value if a reasonable estimate of the fair value can be made and the resulting amount would be capitalized as part of the asset. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings or mineral property costs. In subsequent periods, the company adjusts the carrying amounts of the asset and the liability for changes in estimates of the amount or timing of underlying future cash flows.



It is reasonably possible that the companys estimates of its ultimate reclamation and site restoration liability could change as a result of changes in regulations or cost estimates. The effect of changes in estimated costs is recognized on a prospective basis.



There are no known restoration or clean-up costs associated with the companys properties.



Share capital



The proceeds from the exercise of stock options, warrants and escrow shares are recorded as share capital in the amount for which the option, warrant or escrow share enabled the holder to purchase a share in the company. Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is recorded at an amount based on fair market value.

Income taxes



Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Future income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted or substantively enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. In addition, the method requires the recognition of future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.



Loss per common share



Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the "if converted" method. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.



Stock-based compensation



Effective August 1, 2003, the company has adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) amendments to Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments, which requires an expense to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements for all forms of employee stock-based compensation, including stock options.



Flow-through shares



The company has adopted the new accounting recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee relating to flow-through shares effective for all flow-through share agreements dated after March 19, 2004. Canadian Income Tax Legislation permits an enterprise to issue securities referred to as flow-through shares whereby the investor may claim the tax deductions arising from the related resource expenditures. When resource expenditures are renounced to the investors and the company has reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be completed, future income tax liabilities are recognized (renounced expenditures multiplied by the effective corporate tax rate) thereby reducing share capital.



If a company has sufficient unused tax losses and deductions (losses) to offset all or part of the future income tax liabilities and no future income tax assets have been previously recognized on such losses, a portion of such unrecognized losses (losses multiplied by the effective corporate tax rate) is recorded as income up to the amount of the future income tax liability that was previously recognized on the renounced expenditures.

Impairment of long-lived assets  change in accounting policy



The Accounting Standards Board of the CICA has issued CICA 3063, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, which is effective for years beginning on or after April 1, 2003. This statement establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of the impairment of non-monetary long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with finite useful lives, deferred pre-operating costs and long-term prepaid assets. The company adopted the new standard on August 1, 2004. The implementation of this new standard did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Variable interest entities  change in accounting policy



The CICA has issued Accounting Guideline 15, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which became effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after November 1, 2004. This guideline addresses the application of consolidation principles to entities that are subject to control on a basis other than ownership of voting interests. The company adopted the guideline on February 1, 2005. The adoption of this guideline did not have any impact on the companys consolidated financial statements.

As at July 31, 2005 and 2004, the company had no shares subject to escrow agreements.



|(a) | In December 2003, the company completed a private placement of 5,400,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,350,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of two years at a price of $0.40, provided that, if the shares of the company trade at or above $0.60 on the TSX Venture Exchange for a period of 20 consecutive days after April 28, 2004, the warrant holders will be required to exercise their warrants. A finders fee of 7.5% (150,000 units valued at $37,500) was paid in units on a portion of the placement and a finders fee of 5% cash ($42,500) and 10% in warrants (340,000 common share purchase warrants valued at $65,000 with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share for a period of two years at a price of
$0.40) was paid on a portion of the placement.

The fair value of $65,000 for the 340,000 common share purchase warrants issued as part of the private placement were estimated at the grant date based on the Black-Scholes pricing model, using the following assumptions:

|Risk-free interest rate (%) | 2.6

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the  subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the companys stock options.



|(b) | In October 2004, the company closed a private placement consisting of 250,000 flow-through shares at $0.40 per share. Total proceeds of $100,000 relating to the flow-through financing were received.

|6. | STOCK OPTIONS(continued)
|-- | ------------------------



| | (i) | On November 21, 2003, the company agreed to amend 940,000 incentive stock options previously issued to certain directors, officers and employees of the company. All of the options were exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share with a term expiring April 4, 2004. The amendment reduced the exercise price of the options to $0.35 per share and extended the term of the options by two years to April 4, 2006. The fair value of amended stock options was $186,100. This value was arrived at by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and represents the incremental value between the modified option fair value and the value of the old option immediately before its terms were modified. The following assumptions were used:
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Expected volatility (%)     | 122         | 147             



| | (ii) | The company granted a total of 610,000 (2004  405,000) stock options to directors, officers, employees and non-employees in fiscal 2005. The fair value of these options was $111,000 (2004  $87,800), with the company expensing this assigned value.
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The fair value of these stock options was estimated at the grant date based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following weighted average assumptions:



|                            | 2005 | 2004

|-- | -----------------------



|(c) | As of July 31, 2005, the company has approximately $1,047,500 in operating losses, $5,185,000 in accumulated Canadian and foreign exploration and development expenditures and $59,038 in unclaimed share issuance costs available to reduce future taxable income. The potential benefit of these losses has not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements. The operating losses expire as follows:

|2014 | 255,200  
|2015 | 304,700  
|     | 1,047,500



|(d) | During the current year, flow-through shares totalling $100,000 were issued, which funds are required to be spent on certain Canadian exploration expenditures. Because the company no longer has the ability to use the expenditures for tax purposes, the company is required to record a future tax liability, which is equal to the renunciation, times the corporation tax rate when expenditures are renounced. However, because the company has unused tax losses and resource pools in excess of the renunciation, the future tax liability becomes a future income tax recovery and, as a consequence, a $35,600 recovery was recorded in fiscal 2005.

|12. | COMMITMENTS
|--- | -----------



|(a) | The company has entered into a Management Services Agreement with Silver Standard Resources Inc., a company in which two directors are also directors of the company. Under the agreement, Silver Standard provides general corporate management, administrative and technical services for the company. For personnel, hourly rates charged are based on direct salary costs and benefits, as well as a factor for overhead costs, office equipment, usage, management services personnel, office space and furnishings.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | The company has granted to Silver Standard Resources Inc. a right of first offer on the companys Rodeo and Yerbabuena properties, which properties were referred to the company by Silver Standard. Under the terms of the right of first offer, if the company intends to dispose of an interest in any referred property, the company must give Silver Standard the first opportunity to acquire the interest.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Effective March 24, 2004, the company granted Silver Standard a one-time right to acquire a 51% interest in any property referred to the company by Silver Standard that is subsequently acquired by the company. This one-time right to acquire replaces the right of first offer and, in order to exercise the right in respect of any property, Silver Standard must (a) exercise the right prior to, or on, the company incurring US $1.5 million in exploration expenditures on the property and (b) incur exploration expenditures equal to twice the acquisition and exploration expenditures incurred by the company on the property at the time of exercise. The El Rincon property (note 3) is subject to this back-in right.



|(c) | In June 2003, the company entered into an agreement with a non-related company to provide financial public relations services. The company pays a monthly amount ranging up to $8,500 per month plus approved expenses solely in cash, for financial public relations services, communications materials and travel. The agreement is now month-to-month, subject to a 30-day termination notice.

|13. | MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED  ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP)
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that financial statements of foreign companies contain a reconciliation presenting the statements on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Any differences in accounting principles as they pertain to the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not material except as follows:

| | (a) | Under Canadian GAAP, the mineral properties are carried at cost and written off or written down if the properties are abandoned, sold or if management decides not to pursue the properties. Under United States GAAP, the company would periodically review and obtain independent reports in determining adjustments to the mineral properties and record properties at net realizable value. The company has not yet obtained an independent report for United States GAAP purposes, therefore, the companys mineral property costs would be written-off for United States GAAP purposes.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | Under United States GAAP, stock compensation expense is recorded as shares held in escrow become eligible for release, at the market value of the shares at that time. Under Canadian GAAP, no value is attributed to such shares released and no compensation expense is recorded. Shares previously held in escrow were performance shares which were issued to certain directors who reorganized the companys business affairs and raised financing sufficient to fund the companys business plan.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | Until August 1, 2002, the company was not required, under Canadian GAAP, to record the effect of non-employee stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements. Commencing August 1, 2002, Canadian GAAP treatment is consistent with United States GAAP treatment. Under United States GAAP, stock compensation expense is recorded for non-employees based upon a fair value method. The company elected to continue to measure compensation cost for employees under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, including interpretations provided in Interpretation (FIN) No. 44. Generally, under APB No. 25 compensation expense is recognized for the difference between the market price of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of the stock options. Effective from the date of the modification, the company regularly re-measures compensation expense for the
options where there has been a substantive change or modification to such options.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Effective August 1, 2003 the company adopted the new Canadian standards for stock compensation (Note 2), which mirrors in all material respects SFAS 123. Accordingly, no reconciling item exists between Canadian and United States accounting for stock options after August 1, 2003.



| | (d) | Under United States GAAP, investments available for sale are recorded at market value. The difference between the market value and the carrying value of investments is recorded as a separate shareholder equity category named comprehensive income. Once the investment is sold, the comprehensive income relating to that investment is cleared out to income. Under Canadian GAAP, investments available for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market. There is no comprehensive income category in Canada. As the company did not own any investments, there was no impact for the year ended July 31, 2005.

|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | Under United States GAAP SFAS 109, where flow-through shares are sold at a premium, the premium is recorded as a liability. Where flow-through shares are sold at a discount, the discount is recorded as an asset. As restricted cash is spent the premium or discount is recognized as income or expense respectively.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The October 7, 2004 flow-through shares were priced at $0.40 per share as per the offering document, which was prepared in advance of the share issuance. On November 19, 2004, the date the flow-through shares were issued, the share price had increased to $0.425.

| | (i) | New Accounting Pronouncements
| | --- | -----------------------------



In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements, by rescinding SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. Additionally, SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. Finally, SFAS No. 145 also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature, in some
instances, they may change accounting practice. The company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 that amended SFAS No. 13, as required, on May 15, 2002 for transactions occurring after such date with no material impact on its financial statements. The company adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 145, as required, on May 1, 2003, with no material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 was issued to address the financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, unless specifically excluded. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with a covered exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for a liability for one-time termination benefits that is incurred over time. If employees are not required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the one-time termination benefits or if employees will not be retained to render service beyond the minimum retention period (as dictated by existing law, statute or contract, or in the absence thereof, 60 days), a liability for the termination benefits
shall be recognized and measured at its fair value at the communication date. If employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the one-time termination benefits and will be retained to render service beyond the minimum retention period, a liability for the termination benefits shall be measured initially at the communication date based on the fair value of the liability as of the termination date. The liability shall be recognized rateably over the future service period.



SFAS No. 146 also dictates that a liability for costs to terminate an operating lease or other contract before the end of its term shall be recognized and measured at its fair value when the entity terminates the contract in accordance with the contract terms. A liability for costs that will continue to be incurred under a contract for its remaining term without economic benefit to the entity is to be recognized and measured at its fair value when the entity ceases using the right conveyed by the contract. SFAS No. 146 further dictates that a liability for other covered costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. The company adopted SFAS No. 146, as required, on May 1, 2003 with no material impact on its financial statements.



In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantors balance sheet upon issuance of certain guarantees. FIN 45 also requires disclosure about certain guarantees that an entity has issued. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The company adopted the provisions of FIN 45, as required, on January 1, 2002 with no material impact on its financial statements.



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure". SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The company adopted SFAS No. 148, as required, on January 1, 2003 with no material impact on its financial
statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The company adopted the provisions of FIN 46, as required, with no material impact on
its financial statements



On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.". SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The new guidance amends SFAS No. 133 for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group ("DIG") process that effectively required amendments to SFAS No. 133, and decisions made in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments and in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative and characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. In addition, it clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows.
SFAS No. 149 is effective

for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The company adopted SFAS 149, as required, on July 1, 2003, with no material impact on its financial statements.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The company adopted SFAS 150, as required, with no material impact on its financial statements.



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment. SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions.

SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. SFAS 123R does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award  the requisite
service period (usually the vesting period). SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in consolidated financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The scope of SFAS 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For nonpublic entities, SFAS 123R must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The
adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the companys results of operations or financial position.



In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the companys results of operations or financial position.
