## ITEM 2: GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

2.1

Three Year History

During the past three years, the Corporation has focused on the exploration and development of its mineral interests in the municipality of Ocampo, in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico (collectively referred to herein as the Ocampo Project).    Ground breaking for the construction of the gold-silver mine and surface processing facilities at Ocampo began in early March 2005.  On February 1, 2006, the Corporation poured its first dore bars from the Ocampo Project.  The mill and the underground workings were completed during the third quarter of 2006.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Ocampo mine produced 77,798 gold-equivalent ounces1 (51,790 ounces of gold and 1,303,113 ounces of silver).  Combined production from the Ocampo and El Cubo mines amounted to 103,981 gold equivalent ounces1, (66,683 ounces of gold and 1,864,002 ounces of silver) during the year ended December 31, 2006.  In January 2007 the Ocampo mine reached commercial production, and Gammon Lake expects to produce 400,000 gold equivalent ounces (200,000 ounces of gold and 10.0-million ounces of silver) based on combined production from both the Ocampo and El Cubo mines in Mexico during 2007.  The Ocampo Project is described in this document under Item 3: Description of the Business - 3.2 Mineral Projects - 3.2.1 The Ocampo Project.



In December 2002, February 2004 and February 2006 the Corporation made strategic investments in Mexgold until it owned approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Mexgold. The two companies also had certain directors and officers in common.  On August 8, 2006, the Corporation acquired all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Mexgold by way of a plan of arrangement, in exchange for the issuance of Common Shares of Gammon Lake, as described under Item 2.2: Significant Acquisitions.  As a result, Mexgold is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.  Mexgold, through its subsidiary Minera El Cubo, owns and operates the El Cubo gold-silver mine and certain related properties located in Guanajuato State, Mexico (collectively referred to herein as the El Cubo Project).   Mexgold has been producing gold and silver from the El Cubo mine since Mexgold acquired the mine in March 2004. The El Cubo Project is described in this document under Item 3: Description of the Business - 3.2 Mineral Projects - 3.2.2 The El Cubo Project (including the Las Torres Mine).



In February 2006 the Corporation was awarded, through government lottery, concessions covering an additional 6,000 hectares surrounding the Ocampo Project (see Item 3: Description of the Business - 3.2 Mineral Projects - 3.2.1 The Ocampo Project).



In the last three years the Corporation completed the following equity financings:



•

private placement of 15,715,000 Special Warrants at a price of CDN$7.00 per Special Warrant for gross proceeds of CDN$110 million completed on December 16, 2004 (each Special Warrant was converted into one Common Share upon the filing of a prospectus by the Corporation on January 12, 2005);



•

private placement of 3,334,300 Special Warrants at a price of CDN$6.50 per Special Warrant for gross proceeds of CDN$21.67 million completed on February 26, 2004 (each Special Warrant was converted into one Common Share on February 24, 2006);



•

private placement of 2,439,024 Common Shares at a price of CDN$6.15 per Common Share for gross proceeds of CDN$15.00 million completed on November 21, 2003; and



•

private placement of 5,390,625 Common Shares at a price of CDN$3.20 per Common Share for gross proceeds of CDN$17.25 million completed on August 15, 2003.

On October 14, 2005, the Corporation secured a credit facility with Scotia Capital Inc.  The facility is secured and consists of a two-year non-revolving facility of US$40,000,000, and a three year revolving facility of US$20,000,000.  Interest is payable at Prime Rate plus 1.25% or in the case of US dollar advances, at LIBOR + 2.25%. For details, see Note 6 to the Corporation's audited annual financial statements for the five month period ended December 31, 2005.  In order to preserve the Corporation's corporate budget for production start-up at the Ocampo mine and fund the Corporation's investment in Mexgold made in February 2006, the Corporation entered into an agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia and Société Générale (Canada) on February 24, 2006 to amend this credit facility to further increase the non-revolving credit limit to US$47.5 million.  On May 19, 2006, the credit facility was amended to increase the non-revolving credit limit to US$87.5 million.  At the same time, certain of the covenants and repayment terms were renegotiated in the Corporation's favour to allow for greater cash flow from operations for future corporate development and exploration activities. Under the restructured repayment schedule, payments of US$8,750,000 are due on a quarterly basis starting on December 29, 2006.  On September 30, 2006, the credit facility was further amended to add Mexgold and its subsidiaries to the credit facility, and to pledge their assets to secure the same. On December 18, 2006, the credit facility was further amended to increase the revolving credit limit to US$32.5 million. On March 29, 2007, the credit facility was further amended to postpone the automatic reduction in the revolving credit facility and to adjust the repayment schedule to reflect the drawdowns made by the Corporation under the credit facility.



2.2

Significant Acquisitions



In December 2002, the Corporation made a strategic investment by acquiring 5.0 million Common Shares of Mexgold for a purchase price of $500,000 ($0.10 per share).  At that time, Mexgold was a junior gold and silver mining company engaged in acquiring, exploring and developing precious metals projects in Mexico.  Subsequent to making this investment, Mexgold completed a reverse take-over transaction whereupon its common shares were listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol, MGR.  At that time, Mexgold held a 100% ownership of five mining concessions encompassing the Guadalupe y Calvo gold/silver property (see Item 3: Description of the Business - 3.2 Mineral Projects - 3.2.3 The Guadalupe y Calvo Project).



On February 26, 2004, the Corporation invested a further $11.8 million into Mexgold to maintain its 25% interest in the company.  This investment was part of a Mexgold private placement financing consisting of the sale of 22.5 million subscription receipts (the Subscription Receipts) at a price of $2.00 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $45,000,000.  Each Subscription Receipt represented the right to receive one Common Share of Mexgold and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant being exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $2.50 per share until February 26, 2006) upon completion of the acquisition by Mexgold of Minera El Cubo, which owns the El Cubo gold-silver mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico (see Item 3: Description of the Business - 3.2 Mineral Projects - 3.2.2 The El Cubo Project (including the Las Torres Mine)).  The Corporation acquired 5.9 million Subscription Receipts out of the total financing for a total purchase price of $11.8 million on the same basis as all the other investors in the financing. On March 5, 2004, Mexgold acquired Minera El Cubo and the Subscription Receipts were exercised for common shares and warrants on March 15, 2004.  The El Cubo mine was in production when acquired, and additional exploration work has been undertaken since then to expand the resource underlying the property.



On
September 7, 2004, Mexgold's subsidiary Metales entered into a lease agreement (subsequently taken over by El Cubo) with, a Compania Minera Las Torres, S.A. de C.V. (Torres), for the Las Torres Mine, immediately adjacent to the El Cubo Mine (see Item 3: Description of the Business - 3.2 Mineral Projects - 3.2.2 The El Cubo Project (including the Las Torres Mine)).



On February 26, 2006 as part of the exercise of the Mexgold warrants by all of the Mexgold warrant holders, the Corporation exercised the 2,950,000 Mexgold warrants it held for total proceeds of $7,375,000, again in order to maintain its pro rata share ownership of Mexgold.  As a result, the Corporation held a total of 13,850,000 Common Shares of Mexgold representing 23.1% of Mexgold's issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis.



On August 8, 2006, the Corporation acquired all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and options of Mexgold by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario),  in exchange for Common Shares and stock options of the Corporation on the basis of 0.47 Common Shares of the Corporation for each Mexgold Common Share, and stock options to purchase a proportionate number of Common Shares of the Corporation at a proportionate price (in each case based on the exchange ratio of 0.47 Common Shares of the Corporation for each Mexgold Common Share). The outstanding Mexgold Common Share purchase warrants were adjusted on the same basis in accordance with their terms so that they are now exercisable for Common Shares of the Corporation. The Corporation issued 21,838,033 Common Shares and options to acquire up to an additional 5,498,897 Common Shares
of the Corporation. An additional 186,120 Common Shares of the Corporation are issuable on the exercise of the Mexgold warrants.   Immediately following the completion of the transaction, the former shareholders of Mexgold (other than the Corporation) held approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation on a non-diluted basis.  As a result of the transaction Mexgold is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.  Details of the acquisition are provided in a Form 51-102F4, Business Acquisition Report which the Corporation filed in respect of the acquisition on October 20, 2006, and which is available on www.sedar.com.

## ITEM 3: DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

3.1

General



The Corporation is a mid-tier mining company which is also engaged in the exploration for and development of gold and silver deposits in Mexico.  Through its subsidiaries, the Corporation owns and operates the Ocampo gold-silver mine in Chihuahua State, Mexico, and the El Cubo gold-silver mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico, both of which are currently producing gold and silver.  Through its subsidiaries, the Corporation also owns the Guadalupe y Calvo gold-silver exploration project in Chihuahua State, Mexico, and leases the Las Torres gold-silver mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico, which is also currently producing gold and silver.



The Corporation's mineral properties are described under Item 3.2: Mineral Properties.

## Uses of Gold

Product fabrication and bullion investment are the two principal uses of gold. Within the fabrication category there are a wide variety of end uses, the largest of which is the manufacture of jewelry (approximately 75% of fabrication use). Other fabrication purposes include official coins, electronics, miscellaneous industrial and decorative uses, dentistry, medals and medallions. In addition, the world's Central Banks maintain gold reserves, partly to back their respective currencies.

## Markets, Sales and Refining

Gold and silver can be readily sold on numerous markets throughout the world and it is not difficult to ascertain its market price at any particular time. Since there are a large number of available purchasers, the Corporation is not dependent upon the sale of gold or silver to any one customer or group of customers.  The Corporation currently does not have any long term contracts in place. Dore from the El Cubo project is refined by and sold to Met-Mex Peñoles S.A. de C.V (Met-Mex) under contract.

(1)

Total cash cost per ounce is calculated by dividing production costs and refining costs over gold equivalent ounces.  Gold equivalent ounces is calculated using a ratio of silver to gold of 50:1.  The exchange rate to calculate USD equivalent is C$1:00 = US$0.858

(2)

Includes production from the Las Torres mine which is adjacent to the El Cubo mine and is operated as one project.



Gold and silver concentrate recovered from the processing facilities are poured into dore bars. Bars are cooled, cleaned, and then moved to a storage vault pending sale and shipment to a third party refiner.

## Employees

As at December 31, 2006, the Corporation had approximately 726 full time employees.



Cycles



As a mid-tier mining company and an emerging producer of gold and silver, the Corporation will be subject to the cyclical nature of gold, silver and the metals markets generally.



Competitive Conditions



Competition in the precious metals mining industry is primarily for mineral-rich properties that can be developed and produced economically; for technical expertise to find, develop, and mine such properties; for the labour to operate the properties; and for the capital to finance development of such properties. Many competitors not only explore for and mine precious metals, but also conduct refining and marketing operations on a world-wide basis and some companies have much greater financial and technical resources than the Corporation.



Environmental Liabilities



There are no known environmental issues that may impact the project.  The Corporation will be obliged to carry out site reclamation on its current projects at the end of their mine life, and expects to be able to finance the same from the revenues generated by such projects.



Foreign Operations



All of the Corporation's mineral properties are located in Mexico.

## 3.2 Mineral Properties

In this Annual Information Form, Inferred Resources, Measured Resources, Indicated Resources, Measured and Indicated Resources, Proven Reserves, Probable Reserves and Proven and Probable Reserves, refer to the mineral classification categories prescribed in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.



3.2.1

The Ocampo Project

Scientific and technical information contained in this Annual Information Form relating to the Ocampo Project in Items 3.2.1.2 to 3.2.1.9is based on information contained in the independent technical report titled "Gammon Lake Resources Inc. Ocampo Deposit Mineral Resources & Reserves Technical Report" dated January 2006 (the "Mintec Report") prepared by Mintec, Inc. (Mintec), which report (available on www.sedar.com) is not incorporated by reference herein unless otherwise expressly provided for herein. The summary of the feasibility study in Item 3.2.1.11 - Feasibility Study is based on information contained in the bankable feasibility study dated November 29, 2004 and entitled Ocampo, Chihuahua, Underground and Surface Mines Mill and Heap Leach  Bankable Feasibility Study (the KCA Report) prepared by Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, Consulting Engineers (KCA), which report (available on www.sedar.com) is not incorporated by reference herein unless otherwise expressly provided for herein.  Item 3.2.1.7 - Exploration and Drilling also contains updates on the exploration activities conducted in 2006 and Item 3.2.1.10 - Development and Mining Operations also contains updates on the mining operations on the Ocampo Project.  This updated information and all technical data reported herein was prepared under the supervision of John C. Thornton, Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation, who is a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

The Ocampo Project consists of 61 mineral concessions covering approximately 10,000 hectares, including an operating underground mine and open pit mine, near the municipality of Ocampo in Chihuahua State, Mexico.

In February 2005, the Corporation assembled a mine development and operations team to place the Ocampo Project into production, with KCA appointed for mill and heap leach construction and commissioning.  Ground breaking for the construction of the open pit mine and two surface processing facilities began in early March 2005.   The open pit mine commenced production in early 2006 and on February 1, 2006, the Corporation poured its first dore bars from the Ocampo Project. The mill and the underground workings were completed during the third quarter of 2006.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Ocampo mine (both the open pit and underground portions) produced 77,798 gold-equivalent ounces (51,790 ounces of gold and 1,303,113 ounces of silver).  In January 2007 the Ocampo Project reached commercial production, with production at an annualized production run rate of 400,000 gold equivalent ounces (200,000 ounces of gold and 10.0-million ounces of silver).

In December 2005, the Corporation announced the completion of an updated resource / reserve determination for the Ocampo Project which was prepared by Mintec.  Based on revised mineralized ore zones/veins using the additional information from new drilling and trenching by the Corporation, the revised estimate calculated proven and probable reserves of 4,190,000 ounces of gold equivalent, measured and indicated resources of 5,097,000 ounces of gold equivalent, as well as an additional 5,687,000 ounces of gold equivalent in the inferred category, an 86% increase in proven and probable reserves and a 68% increase in measured and indicated resources from those developed for the KCA Report.  The Mintec Report sets out the updated resource / reserve estimate.

In February 2006, the Corporation was awarded, through government lottery, concessions covering an additional 6,000 hectares surrounding the Ocampo Project.

During 2006, the Corporation continued with exploration on the Ocampo Project with a view to further defining and enlarging the Ocampo deposit.  See Item 3.2.1.6 - Exploration and Drilling.

Notes:

(1)

These concessions are subject to a royalty and certain contingent payments under the Minera Fuerte Agreement as described under Item Property Agreements, Payments, Royalties and Other Encumbrances.



(2)

These concessions are subject to a royalty and certain contingent payments under the Soyopa Agreement as described under Item Property Agreements, Payments, Royalties and Other Encumbrances.



(3)

An application has been filed to obtain a 100% interest in a new concession, which covers the Septentrion Mining Claim.



(4)

The Arco Iris Claims were acquired by Gammon Mexico in terms of a Conveyance Agreement dated July 25, 2006, which is in process of being recorded in the Public Registry of Mining.



(5)

The legal representative of the estate of the owner of the concession has signed a promissory agreement for the transfer of the rights from this concession in favor of Gammon Mexico.  The execution of the definitive agreement is in process.

The concessions are for mineral rights only and the Corporation has secured the surface rights in the current areas of interest.  On March 20, 2002, Gammon Mexico and Minerales de Soyopa, S.A. de C.V. (Soyopa) entered into a surface rights lease with the Common Land (Ejido) Commissariat covering the mining concessions of Gammon Mexico and Soyopa.  This agreement covers approximately 2,000 hectares.  The agreement is for 30 years for the initial and only payment of U.S. $20,000.  The agreement has been registered with the National Agrarian Registry.

It should be noted that some small concessions, held by others, exist within the Corporation's concession blocks.  These concessions are not in areas of significant mineralization and are not expected to materially and adversely impact the Ocampo Project.



Minimum Investment / Assessment Work



To keep the concessions in good standing a minimum investment or assessment work (MI) must be made or filed (as the case may be) each year.  The amount of the MI varies based on the size, age and type of the concession.  The required MI changes annually with the Department of Mines publishing a new list at the end of each year and it varies with the consumer price index.



It is possible to group concessions together and carry forward the excess work from previous years.  The current work programs coupled with the past work by the Corporation should satisfy the minimum requirements for many years.



For exploitation concessions, the annual amount of MI only varies with the size of the concessions.  The smallest concessions up to 30 hectares only have a requirement of 49.02 pesos per hectare or approximately CDN$5.12 per hectare.  Twenty-eight of the concessions are in that category.  As the concessions get larger the MI increases.  For 30 to 100 hectares the annual MI is 98.05 pesos or approximately CDN$10.24 per hectare.  Five of the concessions fall into that category.  The concessions that are greater than 100 hectares have a fixed fee per concession plus an amount per hectare.  Gammon has 2 concessions just over 100 hectares and the average MI is 203.87 pesos per hectare for the 105 hectares concession and 203.65 pesos per hectare for the 108 hectares concession or approximately CDN$21.28 per hectare.  The largest concession of 1,657.92 hectares has an MI of 787.13 pesos per hectare or approximately CDN$82.25 per hectare.



The average MI on the Corporation's 10,000 hectares of exploitation concessions is currently 518.45 pesos or approximately CDN$55.94 per hectare totaling CDN$559,410.00 (The exchange rate to calculate CDN equivalent is PESO$1.00 = CDN$0.1079, as at December 31, 2006).

Mining Duty (Tax)



The rate of the mining duty (MD) depends exclusively on the age of the concession.  The rate changes each semester with the Mexico Department of Mines publishing the new rates in January and July.  The MD is due in both January and July.

The rates are effective if paid during January, but if the payment is delayed, penalties and actualizations are accrued every month as published in the Official Gazette of the Federation of the Mexican government.



Most of The Ocampo Project mining concessions are subject to the high rate of 100.79 pesos per hectare, however, there are some others, including new ones that are subject to different rates.   The average rate of MD for the exploitation concessions is 50.12 pesos per hectare.



The total MD for the Ocampo Project concessions is approximately CDN$59,000 for 2007.

### Property Agreements, Payments, Royalties and Other Encumbrances

Soyopa Agreement

Pursuant to an agreement dated March 1, 2000 and amended on August 17, 2000, April 24, 2001 and November 24, 2001 (as amended, the Soyopa Agreement) the Corporation purchased certain concessions now forming part of the Ocampo Project (i.e. those numbered 170141-170153, 191736, 192048, 204194 and 212551) from Soyopa.

Under the Soyopa Agreement, the Corporation is required to make an additional payment of US$7,000,000.  This payment is to be made in two separate instalments of which US$3,5000,000, the first of which was paid on February 17, 2007 and the second is to be paid on or before November 23, 2007.  However, in the event that the Company has commenced production of gold and/or silver from the mining title acquired prior to November 23, 2006, the Company is required to pay Soyopa US $1,000,000, annually, commencing on the first anniversary of the start of production which will reduce the remaining amount due and, in the event the Company sells or transfers title to the concessions to a third party, the US $7,000,000 or the amount remaining, becomes due.  The obligation to complete the payment of US$7,000,000 is secured by a charge registered on the mining concessions.

(Minera Global) dated July 17, 2000, pursuant to which consulting services were provided with respect to the Soyopa Agreement, an additional US$1,000,000 is due to Minera Global in the event of the sale of the Ocampo Project.

Minera Fuerte Agreement

In January 6, 1999 the Corporation entered into a joint venture agreement with Minera Fuerte Mayo, S.A. de C.V. (Minera Fuerte) covering 17 of the concessions that make up the Ocampo Project (the Minera Fuerte Agreement).This agreement was amended December 2, 1999 and March 5, 2001, and includes a related agreement with Compania Minera Brenda, S.A. de C.V. dated February 21, 2003 (each a Minera Fuerte Amending Agreement).  Ten of the concessions were bought outright and 7 concessions were bought subject to the terms of the February 21, 2003 Minera Fuerte Amending Agreement (the Minera Fuerte Buy-Out Agreement).  With the Minera Fuerte Buy-Out Agreement, Gammon Mexico acquired a 100% interest in the Minera Fuerte Agreement in consideration for the grant of an 8% net profits royalty up to the maximum of US$2,000,000.  An additional US$250,000 is due if, as a result of exploration of the property, a minimum mining reserve of two million ounces of equivalent gold is obtained, as determined by an independent third party consulting firm of international repute which is mutually acceptable to the parties thereto.  If the Corporation were to sell the property, the full US$2,000,000 would become dues and payable at that time.



The concessions subject to this agreement are numbered 147733, 150528, 151997, 153207, 155697, 155698 and 192789.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography



The property is accessed via Federal Highway 16, a major transportation route the northern Sierra Madre Mountains. The last 27 km of road is a government maintained gravel road from Cahuisori. The property is 310 km from the city of Chihuahua.  Alternatively the property can be reached from Highway 16 by a government maintained gravel road from Mycoba to Morris then east to Ocampo. The State of Chihuahua has two International airports located at the cities of Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua. Within the State of Chihuahua there is over 4000 km of paved highway, 7,000 km of improved road. A railhead is present at La Junta and the State of Chihuahua contains 2,100 km of railway with connections to the rail lines in the United States.



Cool winters and mild summers are typical of the temperate climate in the Ocampo area. The rainfall occurs mainly during the summer monsoon season from July to September. Snow and rain occur sporadically during the winter months. The average annual precipitation is approximately 800 mm. The Rio Mayo and several of its tributaries have year around stream bed flow and lie south, east and west of the general project area. The required water for Gammon Lake's mining operations is supplied by a combination of rainfall runoff water catchments and ground water wells.



The pueblo of Ocampo is in the eastern portion of the project area. It has an estimated population of 500 people and is the seat of the municipal government. Mining and forestry are the major industries in the area. An adequate workforce that is familiar with mining is present in the region. Approximately 30% of the current workforce lives in the immediate project area, and 80% live within the area including the state capital, Chihuahua.



Ocampo was connected to the national electrical grid via a 33kV power line in 2003. Normal telephone communications were established in September 2004. The power supply for the mining operations is generated by generators owned by the Corporation.



The Ocampo Project is within the Sierra Madre Occidental physiographic province, an incised plateau exhibiting characteristics of a youthful topography. The Ocampo Project area ranges in elevation from 1,600 m to 2,200 m and is located near the eastern edge of the Barranca (canyon) country. Vegetation in the area consists of pine and mixed pine and deciduous stands of trees. There is sufficient forestation in the area to support a number of sawmills although the government has recently imposed tree harvest restrictions.

3.2.1.4

History



Exploration of Northern Mexico by the Spanish started in 1554 and the first significant mineral discovery in Chihuahua occurred in the Santa Barbara district in approximately 1567.



Ocampo was discovered in 1804. The initial exploration and exploitation of the Ocampo deposits between discovery and the 1830s was hampered by the Mexican War for Independence, the ensuing expulsion of the Spaniards and the lack of available capital for mine development. Beginning in the 1830's the Mexican government began actively encouraging capital investments by English interests. This resulted in work being undertaken in the Refugio and Plaza de Gallos mines in the western part of the district. Veins in the northeast Ocampo project area were discovered shortly after in the 1840's.



In the late 1800's the government of Porfiro Diaz actively encouraged foreign investment and the development of the Ocampo mines was accelerated and from the 1880's until 1912, Ocampo had its greatest period of historical development. By the early 1900's the Green Gold-Silver Company had effectively consolidated the district. With the onset of the Mexican Revolution in 1912 mining in the Ocampo district was curtailed and restricted to small local operators. In 1912, shortly before the Mexican Revolution, the chief engineer of Sierra Consolidated, Robert Linton, estimated that up until that time, the total production of gold and silver from Ocampo had exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars.



In the 1930's with the rise in the official price of gold, activity in the area increased. In the period between 1939 and 1941, the predecessor company of Soyopa produced over 3.8 tonnes of gold and 59 tonnes of silver from one high grade ore shoot at the Plaza de Gallos mine. Small scale operators and gambesinos continued to operate in the area from the 1940's through the 1990's.



In 1994, the Mexican mining laws were changed to allow 100 percent foreign ownership of mining properties. This change in the Mexican mining laws accelerated exploration investment through out Mexico. In 1997, Mogul Mining NL (Mogul) entered into a joint venture with Soyopa. Mogul conducted a district scale mapping and sampling program focusing on the western portion of the district. A total of 59 reverse circulation drill holes for a total of 6,288 m of drilling was completed. In 1999, Augusta Resources Corporation (Augusta) entered into an agreement to acquire Mogul's interest in the project. Augusta drilled 11 reverse circulation holes and deepened one existing hole for a total of approximately 1,677 m drilled. Mogul and Augusta did not meet the work commitments in the agreement and the property reverted to Soyopa.



In 1999, Gammon Lake entered the picture with an option to purchase 17 mining concessions in the area from Minera Fuerta.



In 2000, Gammon Lake entered a joint venture agreement with Soyopa. The joint venture agreement was replaced with a purchase agreement dated November 24, 2001. With the Soyopa Agreement Gammon Lake effectively consolidated the entire Ocampo mining camp for the first time since the Mexican Revolution of 1912.  Since this time, Gammon Lake has continued with the exploration and development of the Ocampo Project, as described under Item 2: General Development Of The Business - 2.1 Three Year History and Item 3.2.1.6 Exploration and Drilling.

# 3.2.1.5 Geological Setting, Deposit Types and Mineralization

Regional Geology



The Ocampo Project is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO).  SMO is an extensive physiographic province that is composed largely of volcanic rocks that have been intruded by plutonic rocks, which overlie a Precambrian through Jurassic basement. This is one of the largest unmetamorphosed andesite and dacite accumulations in the world. Erosion and uplift has created deep incised canyons and has exposed hydrothermal mineralization in the third dimension. The basement rocks are rarely exposed and poorly known. This province extends from the center of Mexico to the border of the United States.



Volcanic stratigraphy in the SMO has been broken into two main groups consisting of the Lower Volcanic Group (LVG) and the Upper Volcanic Group (UVG). LVG rocks dominate the project area and consist of massive andesitic flows and tuffs. Localized beds of volcanoclastic sediments are also present. Toward the top of this group, the volcanics become more felsic. This group of rocks is host to the majority of the Au-Ag deposits exploited thus far in the SMO. UVG rocks are comprised of felsic ignimbrites, tuffs, flows and volcanoclastics. Textural and sorting characteristics indicate some of the units were deposed under basal surge conditions. This intense and prolonged volcanic activity probably produced the hydrothermal mineralization responsible for the numerous gold and silver mines in the area. On a regional scale the SMO is a relatively undeformed high plateau (Henry and Aranda-Gomez, 1992). Overall, there is a northwest trending structural fabric best evidenced by the alignment of the numerous mining districts found in the SMO.

Ocampo District Geology



The two geologic units that are exposed within the Ocampo Project are the LVG and the UVG. These rocks are composed of andesites, rhyolite tuffs, andesite porphyries, flows and agglomerates which have been overlain by porphyritic andesites interbedded with agglomerates and capped by Oligocene tuffs. This system is part of a larger caldera that is about 60 kilometers in diameter. An age date of 28 millions of years is recorded for the upper most volcanic unit making the major part of the mineralization older than that date.



In general, Ocampo can be broken into two major structural areas, the Northeast (NE) area and the Plaza de Gallos Refugio (PGR) trend that extends from Alta Gracia in the southeast to beyond La Estrella in the west. This structural fabric is the result of movement along a series of northwest trending structures (Millenium Mining Association (MMA), 2000). MMA's work documents six major periods of deformation that were produced by a combination of the emplacement of a postulated intrusive beneath the district and extensional regional tectonics.



The PGR area consists of a series of Northwest (NW) trending faults that jog across West Northeast (WNW) trending structures. Timing, geometric and kinematics support the hypothesis that the WNW fault zone is an oblique transfer zone that developed in order to accommodate movement along the NW faults. Another conclusion by MMA indicates that the NW trending structures are part of a district scale cymoid loop.



The NE area consists of a large northerly trending structure, the Belen-San Jose, which is intersected by the NW trending Aventurero and Rosario structures. Numerous North Northeast (NNE) fault segments bounded by bounded by NW faults are also present. The large north trending Belen-San Jose structure intersects the PGR trend in the La Pared area.

# Deposit Types

Ocampo is a classic gold-silver epithermal mining district. The mineralogy and alteration present in both the PGR and the Northeast Ocampo project area are indicative of low sulphidation, quartz-adularia type epithermal systems.



The low sulphidation systems contain quartz veins, stockworks and quartz breccias with gold, silver, electrum, argentite and pyrite with minor and variable amounts of base metal sulphides. These minerals probably were deposited in a high level (epizonal) to near surface environment.



In the northwest portion of the Gammon Lake property, historic mines such as La Fe and other prospects are considered to be of the high sulphidation, quartz enargite type deposits. This type of system has veins, vuggy breccias, and sulphide replacements ranging from pods to massive lenses associated with high level hydrothermal systems. The mineralization in the La Fe area is hosted by rhyolite and dacite rocks. These rocks and mineralization may be stratigraphically lower than the mineralization in the PGR Trend and the Northeast area. This suggests that this type of mineralization may be found at depth under the PGR Trend and the Northeast deposits.



Mineralization



The gold-silver mineralization in the project area is structurally controlled. Structures that strike N, WNW, NW, NE and East to West (E-W) all host mineralization that is potentially of economic grade. While the majority of potentially economic mineralization discovered to date is hosted andesite flows and agglomerates, all rock types contain mineralization and no single rock type has been shown to be more receptive to gold and silver mineralization.



The gold-silver mineralization is seldom found in discreet fissure veins at Ocampo. The majority of host structures consist of a core of quartz breccia surrounded by varying degrees of quartz stockworks and silicification. The true thickness of the mineralization exceeds 50 m in some areas such as Plaza de Gallos, San Ramon and Refugio. An argillized halo is often present surrounding the silicified structures.



13

---





A second type of gold and silver bearing vein has recently been discovered in the northeast Ocampo Project area. Examples of this type of vein include Esperanza, Chica Rica and deeper portions of the Maria vein. Mineralization in these veins consists of semi to massive sulfides filing fractures and as disseminations in the wall rock sulfide.



The precious metal assemblage consists of fine grained electrum, acanthite and native silver. Occasionally ruby silver and cerargyrite have been noted in hand samples and core. The base metals include sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite occur in minor varying amounts but have no economic importance. These veins do not appear to increase in concentration at further depths.



A study by MMA suggests that Copper, lead and Zinc along with gold and silver can be indicators for precious metal deposition. The same study found that depletions of Lithium, Barium, Sodium, Potassium and Titanium can also be an indication of precious metal deposition. Argillic or clay caps may be an expression of the very tops of the precious metal depositional horizons.



The gold-silver mineralization is known to occur in this area over a vertical distance of at least 750 m. This vertical distance is not known from just one deposit. It is based on the fact that the lowest productive levels at the Santa Juliana mine were at an elevation of approximately 1,400 m and the vein outcrop at the Plaza de Gallos, the highest point, is at an elevation of approximately 2,150 m.

# 3.2.1.6 Exploration and Drilling

Gammon Lake has been actively exploring the Ocampo area properties since 1999. Exploration activities have consisted of geological mapping, sampling both on surface and underground, diamond drilling and RC drilling from surface, diamond drilling from underground, and test mining.



A number of studies have been done off site. These include mineralogy, metallurgy, slope-stability, and preliminary economic evaluations. In 1999, the initial exploration was in the Northeast area. Geological mapping, sampling, and test mining was carried out at the old Brenda mine. In addition, 50 diamond drill holes were completed in the Northeast area. In 2000, detailed surface geological mapping, trenching and road building were carried out. An extensive drilling program was undertaken with a total of 180 reverse circulation (RC) and core holes completed. During 2000 and 2001, a program of underground mapping and sampling in accessible workings was carried out. An exploration drift was driven at this time into the Northeast area to provide greater drilling access.



In 2002 a portion of the property referred to as the PGR trend was placed under a joint venture agreement with Bolnisi Gold NL ABN (Bolnisi) and Bolnisi was named the operator. Bolnisi carried out further drilling, metallurgical testing and process design work and completed a feasibility study on open pit mining in the PGR area.



Gammon Lake continued to explore the Northeast area with diamond drilling in 2002, 2003 and 2004. In 2003, a ramp to access Northeast Ocampo veins was started. This program of underground development and drilling continued during 2004, 2005 and 2006.



Since 1997, the Ocampo project area has been the subject of a number of drilling campaigns by Gammon Lake and other operators. Gammon Lake has maintained the results of all the drilling completed since 1997.

Project wide, 52% of drilling has been completed with core, 48% using RC sample collection. Reliable operators have been used with no water inflow or other sampling problems being reported.



In the Northeast area the drilling has been predominantly by diamond core drilling. The first 20 holes of the 2002 drilling program were collared using RC methods and completed through the mineralized zone with core. All holes drilled since 2002 in the Northeast Ocampo project area have been diamond core holes. Underground drilling in 2000 and 2001 was done from drill stations prepared in old workings. Drilling from 2003 onward has been from drill stations constructed as part of the development of the underground mine.

At present, there are 2 surface drills and 1 underground drills working on the property.



Exploration and Drilling in 2006



During the 2006 calendar year Gammon Lake continued with a program of sill sampling and exploration drilling in the Ocampo underground project area, as the mine ramped up to commercial production. Underground exploration activity can be divided into three areas: New vein discoveries, exploration focused on moving Inferred Resources into the Measured and Indicated Resources category, and development of Measured and Indicated Resources for mining.



New exploration results from sill sampling in the Ocampo underground mine have resulted in the new discovery of high grade gold-silver zones on multiple levels of the underground mine. Samples were collected over a combined total of 767 m, resulting in average grades of 11.55 grams per tonne gold equivalent (5.47 grams per tonne gold and 304 grams per tonne silver) over average widths of 2.33m. The Balvanera structure is open to depth and the remaining structures are open in all directions. Sill samples were taken along each vein every 2.5 m. For example, approximately 24 samples were collected for every 60 m of drifting.



A total of 109 drill holes were completed in the Northeast underground project area at Ocampo during 2006, averaging 8.2 grams per tonne gold equivalent, over average widths of 2.9 m. These 109 drill holes contained 129 mill mining grade intervals above the 3.0 gram per tonne gold equivalent cut-off. Eight specific veins were targeted.



A total of 15 drill holes were completed in the open pit project area, and the high grade San Ramon ore body continues to provide the best intercepts to date. In particular, surface drill hole (OG), OG-317 contained 21 m grading 3.2 grams per tonne gold equivalent (1.42 grams per tonne gold and 89 grams per tonne silver). This includes 4.1 m of mill grade material grading 13.6 grams per tonne gold equivalent (6.05 grams per tonne gold and 376 grams per tonne silver).

# 3.2.1.7 Sampling and Analysis, Data Verification

Sampling Method and Approach



Sampling procedures have been consistent throughout the various programs conducted in Ocampo



The exploration surface samples were mostly in the form of channel chip samples that were collected by Gammon Lake employees or its predecessors. The samples were generally 3 m in length. The sample lines were surveyed by tape and compass methods and tied to the local grid using appropriate points of control.



Grade control sampling in the open pit area is based on trenches dug by a backhoe or excavated by hand. Sample length is 1 m.



During the 1999, 2000 and 2001 exploration programs, underground samples in old workings were collected using chip samples across channels. When necessary due to groundwater scaling, the face was cleaned prior to taking the sample. When the drift was in the vein, back samples were taken, usually with a single sample across the back. When the exposure was in a cross cut, a wall was sampled. Underground sampling in the Northeast Ocampo underground mine has been conducted according to a sampling protocol developed by Pincock, Allen & Holt in a report dated January 30, 2004. Channel samples are taken across the mineralized structures at 1.5 to 3 m spacing along exploration drifts and sills and in the stopes. Multiple samples, respecting geologic boundaries, are taken across the face, back or rib of the workings. In addition, Gammon Lake takes a production channel sample across the entire mined width.



Underground samples are treated as if they were drill holes and stored in the project database. To accomplish this task, each channel is stored with a channel identifier (ID), along with the location northing, easting and elevation mine coordinates.



Currently, Gammon Lake is placing mineral and waste material from the exploration/development ramp by the portal where it is loaded to 26 or 13-tonne mine trucks and hauled to the waste dump or ore stockpile areas. Separate ore stockpiles are kept for each vein. Samples from the ore stockpiles are taken after unloading and then the piles are flattened to create a bench. Gammon Lake maps the location of piles relative to the mine location(s) where the pile came from.



15

---





Sampling procedures for the RC drilling have been constant through out the various drilling programs. The samples were continuously collected in a cyclone. At the end of each sample run (5 feet or 1.5 m depending on the origin of the pipe) the sample was discharged through a Gilson Riffle. One half of the first split was split again to form a sample for assaying and a duplicate sample. In zones of poor recovery only one split was made. If the sample was wet due to injection or water inflow a rotary wet splitter was used to collect the sample in buckets before being double split through a riffle splitter. The drilling crew collected the samples. The quality of the samples was under Gammon Lake supervision. The recovery was logged using a qualitative scale of 1-3 and a notation generally made in the comments column in zones of poor recovery. An additional small sample was collected and placed in trays designed to hold RC chip samples. The chips were geologically logged on site.



The drilling crew boxed the core and Gammon Lake employees transported it to the core shack. In the core shack, the core was geologically logged with sample lengths indicated. When the sample lengths were determined, the core was split using an impact splitter with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The other half was returned to the core trays for storage.



The earlier Brenda holes (BR) and underground drill holes (UGD) used a sample length of 1 m. The surface surface drill holes (ODH) were sampled on 1.5m lengths. The current drilling is sampled at 4.5 m lengths until the stockwork beside the quartz breccia/vein is reached. At that point the sample length is reduced to 1.5 m to sample the stockwork. When the quartz breccia/vein is reached the sample length is reduced to 1 m in length and it usually stays that length until the end of the hole. The length of the samples may vary due to the thickness of the vein.



Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security



The handling procedure has always been the same throughout the project history. The bagged and tagged samples were turned over to ALS Chemex (Chemex) personnel at the site and Chemex took them directly to their sample preparation facility. The sample rejects are stored in Chemex's facility in Hermosillo. Chemex crushed the samples and prepared 200-300 g pulp samples. Ninety percent of the pulp will pass Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps were sent to Chemex in Vancouver for analysis.



Prior to late 2003 all samples were submitted to Chemex for analysis. In 2003 BSI Inspectorate (BSI) was contracted to refurbish and commission an on sight laboratory at the existing CRM mill. This lab was commissioned at the end of December 2003. BSI operated this laboratory as an independent contractor and was contractually obligated to perform the same quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) procedures as at its commercial facilities. In addition for the first several month of operation a detailed check assay program was completed using Chemex. This work confirmed the lab was operating to industry standards. Gammon Lake took over the laboratory in June of 2005. The check assays are continuing to be sent to Chemex or Florin Labs (part of KCA).



A larger laboratory capable of +800 grade control samples with additional Atomic Absorption (AA) capacity for production solution analysis was constructed and completed in 2006.



All of the BR drilled by Gammon Lake in 1999 and year 2000 holes - ODH-60 to 80, including the Augusta holes and the first four Mogul holes - used a 30 g fire assay with AA finish for gold and Aqua-Regia extraction with an AA finish for silver. Assay values that exceeded 10 g Au/t or 100 g Ag/t were re-analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. All Gammon Lake holes subsequent to drill hole ODH-80, were analyzed using a 1-assay ton sample for fire assay with a gravimetric finish for both gold and silver. Except for the first four, all of the Mogul holes utilized this same analytical method.



Chemex discovered a potential underestimation of silver values due to plugging of the AA pipette when using Aqua-Regia/AA methods. For this reason the mineralized zones from holes ODH-71 to 80 and a number of the 1999 BR holes were reanalyzed utilizing a 1-assay ton sized sample for fire assay with a gravimetric finish. This re-assaying by fire assay indicated that significant (order of magnitude) underestimating of silver had occurred in less than 5 percent of the samples that had been assayed using an Aqua-Regia/AA finish.



The Gammon Lake laboratory utilizes fire assay with gravimetric finish.

Security



The samples for assay are taken directly from the site to the Chemex facilities by the Chemex staff. The sample rejects are stored at Chemex's Hermosillo facility. The RC duplicate samples from the drilling prior to the 2002-2003 program are stored in a pole barn at a fenced and secured site near Picacho. This site has a 24-hour guard that lives adjacent to the site. Starting with the 2002-2003 drilling program the RC duplicate samples are stored in a locked building at the Soyopa complex below Picacho. The drill core in the early stages of the program was kept in a locked, closed and secure building near the Gammon Lake field office at the Fomento mill just north of the Northeast drilling area. This core has been moved and the entire core is now stored in a cement block buildings at the Soyopa complex. This facility is locked and secure and a security guard lives on the site. Pulps and sample rejects from the Gammon Lake laboratory are stored in a building adjacent to the laboratory.



Data Verification



Mintec has stored the entire database provided by Gammon Lake to be used for statistical analysis and for use in developing resource models for each designated ore deposit and vein area drilled. This data has been displayed to observe any specific obvious errors in collar and elevation locations such as hanging in mid air, or starting well below the surface where there are no openings. Also visually checked, were orientations of all drilling to ensure the correctness of the drill hole direction and length. Where there were obvious errors, the Gammon Lake geologists were conferred with, and appropriate data adjustments were made.



The approach to modeling first in section, and then in plan, gave Mintec many opportunities to question specific areas where, with no fault structures indicated, disjoint vein continuities might suggest numerical coordinate errors might exist. This potential error was encountered very infrequently, and immediately discussed and corrected, or observed and concluded by Gammon Lake geology to be correct.



In the Mintec Report, Mintec concluded that the assay database used for the PGR and the Northeast mineral resource estimation is sufficiently free of error to be adequate for resource estimation.



3.2.1.8

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates



The mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates were calculated from 3-dimentional block models that represent the deposit utilizing commercial mine planning software developed by Mintec, Inc. called MineSight®. Mintec and Gammon Lake developed the original resource model of the PGR trend deposits and separately the Northeast deposit for the completion of the 2004 feasibility study with KCA.



The project limits are based on a local mine grid of 16,100 to 22,800 Easting, and 8,400 to 14,900 Northing. This area covers approximately 6.5 square km with the additional concessions granted in February 2006, the area covered is 43.55 square km. The elevation bounds are 1,000 m by 2,200 m. The block cell size for the open pit PGR deposit model measures 10 m east by 4 m north by 6 m high. The block cell size for the underground Northeast deposit model measures 2 m east by 4 m north by 4 m high. The ore block sizes were chosen to minimize dilution of the dipping ore zones, and for tight geological control for the high-grade veins.



Mineral Resources



Below are the resources summarized as measured and indicated classifications by area at a 3.0 g/t cutoff for the Northeast area, and at a 0.20 g/t cutoff for the open pit areas on the PRG trend. The estimate is effective as of January 6, 2006.



Measured resource classification is defined as up to 25 m from the closest composite and Indicated 75 m from the closest composite for the open pit model. The inferred classification, when appropriate to describe the underground resources over a very wide area, are those tonnages where the distance to the closest composite is greater than 75 m.



The inferred resource classification for the Northeast area, and deep vein potential at greater than 3.0 g/t gold equivalent on the PGR trend is summarized as a separate table below:

Table 1.1  Ocampo District Mineral Resource Summary



The above was calculated using gold-equivalent cutoff grades of 3.0 g/t for Northeast underground and 0.2 g/t for open pit area.  Gold-equivalent values are based on 60 grams of silver = 1 gram of gold, calculated on a gold price of US $450 and a silver price of US $7.50.  Note also that the numbers in the table may not tally perfectly due to rounding.

### 3.2.1.9 Development and Mining Operations

The Ocampo Project consists of (i) an underground mine which uses standard underground mining equipment and is designed to produce 1,500 tonnes of ore per day and (ii) an open pit mine with a 11,400 tonne per day heap leach. For the production of gold and silver from the Ocampo project during 2006, see Item 2.1 Three Year History and Item 3.1 General  Markets, Sales and Refining.  The Ocampo Project has an expected payback period of twenty months from the commencement of production.



The Open Pit Mine



Open pit mining at Ocampo utilizes multiple benching (6 m or 9 m bench heights), with excavation in 3m lifts (split benching) in select ore areas.  The mining operation currently consists of five open pits mined in sequence.  Over the mine life, six pits will be mined.  The ore produced from the pits is sorted at the mine face into very high-grade ore (VHG), high-grade ore (HG), mid-grade ore (MG), low-grade ore (LG), and very low-grade ore (VLG).  All ore grades are primary crushed in the same crusher, transported via overland conveyors, and stacked on separated stockpiles.  Low grade ore is passed through a standard cone crusher, and then stacked on the heap leach pad feed stockpile.  High grade ore is passed through a standard cone crusher, then a shorthead cone crusher, and then stacked on the heap leach pad feed stockpile.  The mixed grades are reclaimed from the heap leach pad feed stockpile, transported via a series of conveyors, and then stacked on the heap leach.  Ore on the heap is leached with barren cyanide solution from the mill barren tank, and pregnant heap solution is pumped back to the mill for processing in the recovery plant, which uses the Merrill Crowe process from extracting the gold and silver from the leach solution.  For the time being, VLG material is being stockpiled for future processing, and VHG is crushed and stockpiled on the west side of the Primary crusher for truck movement to the mill.

The Corporation has developed 13 km of pit roads since June 2005.  As at December 31, 2006, 2,585,603 tonnes of ore have been stacked on the heap leach pad, and was under leach. The primary crusher, capable of crushing up to 20,000 tonnes per day (7.0-million tonnes per year) is operating and presently feeding a 6,000 tonne per day (2.1-million tonne per year) high-grade secondary/tertiary crushing facility that was commissioned in early January 2006, and also 7,000 tonnes per day low grade crushing facility.

Initial production began in the Conico deposit, and current production is from all major pit areas on the PGR.  The Corporation has been placing ore on the heap leach pad since earlyJanuary 2006, building up to design capacity of 6,000 tonnes per day through the high-grade circuit.  The low-grade circuit was completed in Q2 of 2006 and is processing an additional 7,000 tonnes of low-grade ore per day to the heap leach pads.

According to the KCA Report, the open pit mine is expected to have a mine life of seven years, with reduced production in the seventh year.  Based on the updated Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimate provided in the Mintec Report, the Corporation estimates that the open pit mine will have a mine life of 11 years.

The Underground Mine



The Corporation is utilizing a combination of cut and fill, shrinkage stoping and long hole mining methods at the Ocampo underground mine.  The mine is operated using standard trackless underground mining equipment and is designed to produce 1,500 tonnes of ore per day.  Ore will be hoisted to surface via a shaft.  The collar of the shaft is adjacent to the milling facility, thus reducing haulage costs.  Waste rock from the development headings and ramps are used as stope backfill wherever possible to minimize haulage costs.  Engineering and design at a feasibility study level was completed for a 550,000 tonne per year (1,500 tonnes per day) conventional Merrill Crowe precious metals recovery plant, including two stage crushing and screening, fine ore storage, rod and ball mill grinding, thickening, leaching and recovery systems, and tailings impoundment.

---



Gold and silver concentrate recovered from the recovery plant are poured into dore bars.  Bars are cooled, cleaned, and then moved to a storage vault pending sale and shipment to a third party refiner.

According to the KCA Report, the underground mine is expected to have a mine life of six years, with reduced production in the sixth year. Based on the updated Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimate provided in the Mintec Report, the Corporation estimates that the underground mine will have a mine life of 9 years.

Production during 2006

The Corporation produced its first dore bar from Ocampo on February 1, 2006 from the heap leach facility.  The Corporation has been mining in the open pit since January, 2006.  During the year, the Corporation mined 4,272,625 tonnes of ore and 12,954,869 tonnes of waste, for a 3.03:1 strip ratio.  The Corporation stacked a total of 2,585,603 tonnes of ore on the heap leach pad with an average grade of 0.94 grams per tonne gold, and 38.88 grams per tonne silver.  During the third quarter, the Corporation experienced some challenges due to the excessive rainfall in the Ocampo region.  The rainfall received in July and August impaired production from the heap leach pad, and impacted the Corporation's ability to stack at optimal levels.  Throughout the commissioning process, the Corporation had made modifications to the crushing facility and processed in excess of 10,000 tonnes per day in the fourth quarter.  The Corporation is installing a fourth crusher in the circuit which will increase the capacity from 11,400 tonnes per day to 13,800 tonnes per day, and expects this work to be completed by Q3 2007.  The Corporation has recovered a total of 51% of the total gold and 26% of the silver placed on the pad to date.  The heap leach pad contains approximately 24,583 recoverable gold ounces and 1,065,798 recoverable silver ounces as at December 31, 2006.

The Corporation commenced its commissioning process of the mill in August, 2006 with the introduction of low-grade ore.  Commissioning continued through December with the introduction of higher grade ore.  In December, the Corporation shut down the mill for two weeks in order to make final modifications to the tailings filter plant.  This allowed the mill to achieve its designed capacity of 1,500 tonnes per day.  During 2006, the Corporation processed 100,753 tonnes through the mill, with weighted average grades of 3.79 grams per tonne gold, and 199.5 grams per tonne silver (7.78 gold equivalent grams per tonne).  The mill produced 9,272 ounces of gold during the year, and 415,584 ounces of silver (17,584 gold equivalent ounces).  There were an additional 1,950 ounces of gold and 155,009 ounces of silver in process at December 31, 2006.  The recoveries in the mill have been at feasibility study levels of 96% on gold and 93% on silver.

Taxes

There are four taxes that are applied to the project that are of primary concern: the tax on corporate profits, the net assets tax, the value added tax (IVA using the Spanish acronym), and the diesel fuel tax (IEPS).  The general Mexican tax rates applicable to the project went from 30% in 2004 to 29% in 2005 and were reduced to 28% in 2006 and thereafter.  The net assets tax in Mexico is essentially a minimum tax for a project and is applied at a rate of 1.8% of the depreciated value of the project's assets.  This is the minimum tax to be paid by the project and is only paid to the extent of the amount the net assets tax exceeds the amount of corporate tax due. In addition, no net assets tax is due during the development stages of a project, and the tax is not due during the first three years of project operations. IVA is administered at various rates depending upon the materials or services purchased. Generally speaking the IVA rate most applicable to the Ocampo Project is 15%.  The Ocampo Project will be eligible for a refund of all IVA taxes paid, both on imports and for domestic expenses.  Mexico levies a general tax on the use of diesel fuel that varies monthly and by region. If the fuel is used off-road and in a qualifying project, the tax is refundable, as is the case with the Ocampo Project.

3.2.1.10 Feasibility Study

On November 29, 2004, KCA prepared a bankable feasibility study (the KCA Report) on the Ocampo Project.    The conclusions reached by the KCA Report as to production and capital and operating costs are summarized below, together with the key assumptions and parameters on which the report was based.

TABLES 1-1A and 1-1B. Key Economic Parameters of the Ocampo Project and Gold and Silver Production from the Ocampo Project







(1)

Total pre-production capital expenditure was estimated at $104 million.  Capital expenditure for the operating units does not include other costs such as Administration Building, Camp and Mess Hall, Laboratory, Warehouse, Mobile Equipment, Fencing, Potable Water Distribution, Sewage Disposal, Power Supply and Distribution, Site Preparation, Water Supply and Working Capital.  Year zero underground development, needed to develop the mine prior to production, is a continuation of existing activities; these operating costs are not included within the feasibility study budget.

(2)

Operating expenditure for the operating units does not include other costs such as General and Administration, Geology and Engineering, Costs of Bullion Sales, Camp and fuel tax.

(3)

Years 1 to 5; year 6 is end of underground mine life and the mill does not operate the full year.

(4)

Years 1 to 6; year 7 is end of open pit mine life and the mine production is reduced.

(5)

Diluted mine production grades.

Table 1-2. Key Financial Indicators for the Ocampo Mining and Processing Operations





(1)

Cash cost does not include capitalized annual underground development costs, but these are included as costs when calculating the Net Annual Cash Flow.

(2)

Years 1 to 5; in year 6 the underground mine is at end of mine life and does not operate the full year.

(3)

Average over the 7 year mine life.

The KCA Report envisaged an underground mine with a 1,500 tonne/day agitated cyanide leach plant, and an open pit mine with an 11,400 tonne/day heap leach (the current heap leach design is for 13,000 tonnes per day), gold accounting for about 60% of the recovered value, and silver accounting for the balance.  Project life is seven years based on existing reserves, but development of known resources is expected to significantly extend the life.  For calculating economic performance, the KCA Report had the plant being constructed in year zero, and year one was considered to be a full production year.

The KCA Report was based on the resource and reserve estimates available at the time of the report in November 2004, which showed: (i) for the underground portion of the project, using a cut-off of 3.0 g/t measured and indicated resources of 4.065 million tonnes at a grade of 4.80 g/t Au and 227 g/t Ag containing 628,000 oz Au and 29,662,000 oz Ag; (ii) for the open pit portion of the project, using a cut-off of 0.3 g/t, measured and indicated resources of 32.192 million tonnes at a grade of 1.03 g/t Au and 37 g/t Ag containing 1,067,000 oz Au and 38,698,000 oz Ag; and (iii) proven and probable reserves of 33,556 million tonnes at a grade of 1.25 g/t Au and 52 g/t Ag containing 1,345,000 oz Au and 55,828,000 oz Ag. In the open pit, the reserve consists of a continuous high grade core, bordered by a halo of low grade material.  Overall waste:ore ratio is 4.99:1.  The cutoff between low grade ore and waste is gradational, and all material placed on the heap will be economic.  For current production capacity see Item 3.2.1.9. For the current Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates, see Item 3.2.1.8.

Reclamation costs have been estimated in this report and the total dollar amount required has been shown as an annual reclamation cost accrual during project operations. At the end of the project, Years 7 and 8, reclamation will be completed and the accrued money expended. For the cash flow analysis, reclamation costs have been deducted from the operating costs on a per ton of ore mined basis and inserted as outgoing cash flow in the last two years of the project, Years 7 and 8.

### 3.2.2 The El Cubo Project (including the Las Torres Mine)

Through the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Mexgold, Gammon Lake holds a 100% interest in the El Cubo mine, consisting of 58 exploitation and exploration concessions that cover approximately 8,000 hectares. The El Cubo mine operates as a multi-level underground mine with access ramps for mobile equipment and two vertical shafts for the hoisting of ore.   Mexgold has been producing gold and silver from the El Cubo mine since Mexgold acquired the mine in March 2004.  In addition, Mexgold is conducting exploration activities in the area around the El Cubo mine in order to increase potential resources within the current El Cubo mine and to expand the resource base in areas outside of the current mine area.

Las Torres Lease



Pursuant to the lease agreement with Torres, Mexgold has the right to explore, develop and mine the Las Torres property for a period of 5 years expiring in September 2009, with the right to renew for a further five year period. Annual lease payments total US$480,000 in the first year, and US$720,000 each year thereafter. In addition, Mexgold is required to pay a 3.5% net smelter return on all gold and silver sales equal to or above US$350 per ounce of gold,
US$5.50 per ounce silver, with a minimum monthly royalty of US$20,000. The royalty declines on a sliding scale to a 3.0% net smelter return for sales of gold and silver at or below US$300 per ounce gold and US$5.00 per ounce of silver.



The Las Torres lease agreement also includes use of the Las Torres mill complex, which is part of the Las Torres Mine. This plant is a modern 2,200 tpd hoisting, grinding and flotation processing facility. This plant has an estimated replacement cost of US$17 million. The plant is currently not in use, but as Mexgold plans to increase the production at the combined operation, the availability of this plant represents a potentially significant capital savings. Las Torres milling and processing costs are estimated to be US$8.00 per tonne. The availability of this plant represents a potentially significant capital saving if continued exploration identifies sufficient additional mineral resources to warrant expansion and the operating of this facility.



Minimum Investment and Taxes



All concessions are subject to an annual minimum investment and an annual mining tax that must be paid to keep the concessions in good standing. The amount of the minimum investment or assessment work varies based on the size, age and type of the concession, and changes each year with the Department of Mines publishing a new list at the beginning of the year, and it varies with the consumer price index.  The rate of the mining duty depends on the concession type and the age of the concession. The rate changes each semester with the Department of Mines publishing the new rates in January and July. The mining duty is due in both January and July.  The following table sets out the total minimum investment and assessment work and the mining duty required annually to keep the El Cubo and Las Torres concessions in good standing



|Concessions                                                 | Minimum Investment / Assessment Work | Mining Duty
|----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | -----------
|El Cubo exploration concessions (3,570 hectares)            | US$62,400                            | US$23,400  
|El Cubo exploitation concessions (4,517 hectares)           | US$162,400                          
|Las Torres leased exploitation concessions (6,399 hectares) | US$147,700                           | $36,600

Mexgold will be able to satisfy the minimum investment and assessment work requirements based on its current work programs and the past work.



The concessions are for mineral rights only.  El Cubo and Torres have secured the surface rights in the current areas of interest.



In order to engage in exploration and commercial mining activity, an environmental permit is required. Mexgold currently has all necessary environmental permits for exploration and for commercial mining activity on these concessions.

### 3.2.2.2 Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

El Cubo is approximately 10 km east of the City of Guanajuato, the capital city of the State of Guanajuato. Guanajuato City is approximately 275 km northwest of Mexico City.  The area is accessible by daily plane service to the Leon airport, directly from the United States and many parts of Mexico. Leon is 45 km west of Guanajuato.



The Village of El Cubo surrounds the El Cubo mine offices and the level 4 adit. This village supplies some of the work force; however the majority of the workers come from Guanajuato and other surrounding villages. The El Cubo mine is connected to the national electrical grid. Mining has been the major industry in the area.  An adequate workforce that is familiar with mining, and the necessary support facilities, are present in the region.



The Guanajuato District is near the southern edge of the Mexican Central Plateau. South-eastern outliers of the SMO physiographic province cover the district. The offices at the mine are at an elevation of 2265 m and the mine ranges in elevation from 2647 m at the upper most level, level 180, to 1905 m at the lowest level (14th) in the El Cubo mine. The adjacent Las Torres mine is developed deeper to an elevation of approximately 1600 m. The original processing plants were built in a steep sided canyon up the valley from the town. The most recent mill was built on a hill side away from the town and closer to the upper levels and the San Lorenzo shaft.



The cold winters and mild summers are typical of the temperate climate in the area. The area is mainly devoid of trees, however, in the valleys and where reforestation has taken place, there are stands of trees. The encino tree that is found in the area is protected.  Some cattle grazing is carried out in the area over the scrub land. Sections of more arable land have been deforested to support small plots for growing crops. Any farming activities would have to be considered subsistence. Although there is a reasonable amount of rainfall each year there are no large bodies of water or large rivers nearby. The required water is supplied from the mine and the recycled water from the tailings impoundment facilities.

Silver and gold have been mined in the Guanajuato area for approximately 450 years. The El Cubo property has been active since the 17th century. The total production from the Guanajuato District is estimated at 6 million ounces of gold and 1.2 billion ounces of silver. The El Cubo mine and the adjacent Peregrina mine account for a large part of the gold that has been mined in the District.



In 1995 production was expanded from 350 to 800 tpd and then further increased to 1400 tpd in 2001. The expanded throughput of the mills saw a decrease in ore grade after each expansion. The decrease in ore grade was probably due to insufficient working places to supply the increased tonnage to the mills and the tonnage shortfall was made up using low grade material from old stope fill. As there was a tonnage shortage there probably was less emphasis on grade control, giving increased tonnages mined but at a lower grade.



El Cubo was purchased by Mexgold in March 2004.



The Las Torres mine and mill complex owned by Torres was leased by Metales in
September 2004.  The lease is now held by El Cubo. This property has been in production for many years, especially the adjacent Peregrina mine.



Gammon Lake and Mexgold completed a business combination in August, 2006, whereby Gammon Lake acquired a 100% interest in Mexgold.

### 3.2.2.4 Geological Setting and Mineralization

The eastern part of the Guanajuato Mining District where El Cubo is located is underlain by a volcano-sedimentary sequence of Mesozoic to Cenozoic age rocks.



There are three main northwest trending vein systems that cut these volcano-sedimentary sequences. The veins systems from west to east are known as La Luz, Madre and La Sierra systems. These systems are generally silver rich with gold to silver ratios from 1:72 to 1:214. They are known along strike for 10 to 25 km. The known vertical extent of the economic grade mineralization is considered to be up to 550 m, however, the mineralization at El Cubo is known to extend more than 800 m vertically.



The veins at El Cubo are found in all of the formations and are not rock type specific. The principal host rocks for the ore shoots are the Guanajuato Conglomerate for the lower ores and the Bufa Rhyolite for the upper ores. The mineral deposits in the El Cubo area are all related directly to faults. The deposits occur as open-space fillings in fracture zones or impregnations in the locally porous wall rocks. The veins formed in relatively open spaces are the main targets for mining. Some weak stockworks that grade into disseminations are viable targets, especially if they are close enough to surface and can be mined from an open pit.



There are approximately 36 veins within the El Cubo mine area that are included within the mineral resource estimations. These mineralized veins are known to occur from an elevation of 2650 m down to an elevation of 1825 m. In the adjacent Las Torres Mine the veins are developed down to an elevation of approximately 1600 m.



The economic mineralization at El Cubo is gold and silver. During World War 2 some selenium was recovered and sold.  Base metal values are generally absent, except for small amounts of chalcopyrite. El Cubo appears to be a low sulphur system with abundant pyrite, but no arsenopyrite.

### 3.2.2.5 Exploration and Drilling

There was very little drilling from the surface by previous operators.  Both Mexgold and, after the acquisition, Gammon Lake, have invested in increasing exploration work on the property.  Diamond drilling from surface was started at the end of June 2004 and to the end of 2006, 228 holes were drilled.



Mexgold's exploration program at the El Cubo  Las Torres Mine Complex has been focused on two key objectives: (a) to increase production within the current El Cubo mine, and (b) to expand the resource base in areas outside of the current mine area.  Initially, increasing mine production was the first priority, and approximately 70% of Mexgold's resources were allocated to this task. As mining efficiencies have improved and production increased, Mexgold has been able to shift emphasis to exploration within the historic Guanajuato District. This increase in district-wide exploration has been enhanced by the Las Torres property acquisition, which has provided Mexgold access to almost the entire Guanajuato District. This has enabled Mexgold to expand the current 60,000-metre exploration drilling program at El Cubo to a district wide exploration program. A total of 95 new drill holes were drilled in 2005. As a result of this drilling, three significant targets of interest have been developed outside of the main El Cubo mine area. These include the La Loca, a northwest trending vein complex, currently being accessed from Las Torres and scheduled for production this year; the Phoenix, a significant vein swarm southeast of the main Peregrina mine, capable of hosting both bulk tonnage mineralization and high grade gold and silver veins; and the Veta Madre, a potential moderate grade bulk tonnage open pit heap leach target.  These three targets represent areas outside of the current mine area and have been identified by positive exploration results as areas with significant potential to increase mineable resources on the Mexgold property.



In 2006, an additional 115 new drill holes were completed at El Cubo, producing 62 intervals above a 3.0 gram per tonne cut off grade.  During this round of exploration drilling an offshoot of the Imaculada Vein, the Ciento Setenta Ocho Vein, was discovered and represents a new exploration area of particular significance.  Initial exploration drilling on this structure returned 8 intersections in 5 holes with a weighted average of 2.4 m grading 10.81 grams per tonne gold and 753 grams per tonne silver.  Mexgold will conduct further drilling to better define the full extent of this potential high grade ore body.  The data collected from this exploration drilling will be compiled to further expand the current resources and reserves at El Cubo.

### 3.2.2.6 Sampling, Analysis and Security of Samples

The El Cubo mine has an assay laboratory associated with the milling complex. This laboratory assays all of the mill samples, bullion and mine samples. The exploration samples from the drilling programs are sent to Chemex for analysis.



The sampling, handling and assaying methods used at El Cubo are consistent with good operational practice. The El Cubo laboratory has two buildings. One building is for sample preparation and one for the analysis. The laboratory can prepare and assay 250 samples per day. All of the gold samples are assayed by fire assaying with gravimetric finish. Every tenth sample is run in duplicate as a quality check. Although there has been some comparison of assays with other laboratories, there is not a regular and standard procedure to do this.  In their report dated April 12, 2004, which was relied upon by the authors of the GCA-LRK Report, Chlumsky, Armbrust and Meyer, LLC examined eleven headgrade samples that were assayed both at the El Cubo and Peñoles Las Torres Laboratories (Peñoles). The Peñoles results were consistently 6% higher in silver and 1% higher in gold. This consistent relationship between the two laboratories shows good repeatability of the analysis.  The real test of the analysis is whether the analysis reflects the amount of gold that is eventually recovered when the bullion is sold. It appears that the assay results meet this test.



The mine samples are taken by the Geology Department for the initial resource and reserve calculations and for control in the mining phase. Channel samples are cut perpendicular to the veins at two metre intervals along the veins. The sample locations are marked with spray paint and can be relocated. The channels are cut on all vein faces, in drifts, x-cuts, raises and stopes. They are cut in the backs of the openings except in the raises where both walls are channelled. The channels are cut 10 cm wide and 2 cm deep using a hammer and chisel. The rock chips are collected on a canvas and any fragments larger that 2.5 cm are broken with a hammer. As these samples tend to be large, the samples are reduced in size at the sample site to 500-900 g by quartering and care is taken to collect all of the fines for the selected quarters. The samples are sealed in plastic bags and sent to the company laboratory. The channels are divided by geological divisions into a number of samples depending on the position of the vein or veins. If the mine opening is on a single vein the ideal sampling is a sample of the wall rock on each side of the vein and one sample of the vein. If there is more than one vein present, or it is divided by waste rock, then each of the divisions will be sampled separately.



For exploration samples, a new core handling and storage facility is being built at the site where the core is now being worked on. Drilling is being done both from surface and from underground. All of the core is processed at the same location and in the same manner. The core is placed in trays at the drill site. El Cubo transports the core trays to the central core facility. The core is washed and logged geologically. The geologist marks the samples for sampling. Samples are taken by splitting the core in half using percussion splitters. Half of the core is returned to the trays for storage and half of the core is placed in bags for shipment to the laboratory. The samples are shipped to Chemex in Hermosillo where they are crushed and pulverized. A 200-300 g pulp sample is sent to Chemex in Vancouver for fire assaying. Chemex stores the reject portions of the samples in Hermosillo. Chemex runs duplicate samples and standards to ensure that the assays are of good quality. The core facility in its current stage of construction is not a locked secure facility, however, a watchman is present when the geologists, samplers and core handlers are not present.



The Chemex laboratory is certified to meet the ISO 9001:2000 standards for quality assurance. This laboratory is used for all of the exploration samples. The El Cubo laboratory of Mexgold is not certified.

### 3.2.2.7 Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

During the many years of production, the methods used for calculating the resources and reserves have evolved. Some of the mineralized veins that were previously part of the resource are now exhausted and some of the mineralization is of a different character. In addition to the vein changes, the mining method has changed over the years.



Each year the El Cubo geology staff prepares a resource and reserve summary based on standard methods, with the criteria that have been developed over the years. The method of estimation did not seem to satisfy the changing needs of Mexgold and for 2006 the estimation method was modified to better reflect the grade of the ore that will be delivered to the mill.

30

All of the resource and reserve calculations previously were based only on channel sampling of the veins.  Until Mexgold acquired El Cubo, there was very little diamond drilling in these veins and drill intersections were not used in the estimations.  This is still the case for many of the veins in the El Cubo resource, however the results of recent drilling were considered along with the channel sampling in the veins that have recently been drilled.



The resource on the Las Torres property has been calculated in the same manner as the El Cubo resource.



As per the new resource / reserve calculation, proven and probable reserves amount to 4.65-million tonnes grading 3.24 grams per tonne gold and 183 grams per tonne silver.  Based on the reserve estimates below, it is estimated that the project will have a mine life of 10 years based on a production rate of 1,320 tpd (467,280 tonnes per year). Reserve figures are displayed by project area in the table below, and have been estimated in accordance with NI 43-101 and the guidelines of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum:

Gold equivalent values are based on 58.7 grams of silver = 1 grams of gold, calculated based on a gold price of US$505 and a silver price of US$8.60.  Dilution is 50% zero grade. 95% extraction anticipated.  Proven and Probable reserves stated above are a subset of Measured & Indicated resources contained in the next table.



The Proven Reserve is the portion of the Measured resource (contained in the table above) that will be mined. The grade has been reduced to account for dilution during mining and the tonnage has been adjusted to reflect the allowance for mining pillars and other portions that will not be mined, as well as allowing for the additional tonnage from dilution. The Probable reserve is the portion of the Indicated resource (contained in the table above) that will be mined. The same grade and tonnage adjustments that were made for the Proven reserve were made for the Probable reserve.



Exploration efforts at the El Cubo  Las Torres Mine Complex have been focused on three key targets outside of the current El Cubo mine area; the La Loca Vein Complex, the Phoenix, and the Veta Madre. The Phoenix and the Veta Madre represent proposed bulk tonnage projects, potentially amenable to open pit mining methods. Through the implementation of this highly successful district wide exploration program, primarily focused on these three key areas, total Measured and Indicated resources have been estimated at 5.37-million tonnes grading 4.01 grams per tonne gold and 187 grams per tonne silver, containing 692,833 ounces of gold and 32,234,137 ounces of silver (1,241,770 gold equivalent ounces). Total Measured and Indicated resources are summarized in the table  below, and include all resources that have been moved to Proven and Probable reserves, as described in the previous table.  As before, the estimates of resources in ounces have been made in accordance with NI 43-101 and the guidelines of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.

Gold equivalent values are based on
58.7 grams of silver = 1 grams of gold, calculated based on a gold price of
US$505 and a silver price of US$8.60. Dilution is 50% zero grade. 95% extraction
anticipated.



The cut off grade was 3 grams per tonne gold equivalent for the Measured and Indicated Resource. The Measured Resource is defined as being within 10 m from the sampling face, whether it is a stope, drift, cross cut, raise or drill hole. This can be in either direction from the sample face within the vein. The Indicated resource is defined as being 10-50 m from the sampling face and within the vein. The projection is limited to half distance to the next level or other sample area if that is less than 50 m.



The veins are channel sampled every 2 m along all headings, drifts, raises, cross cuts and the operating stopes. Separate channel samples are collected for the veins and wall rocks.



An additional 7.53-million tonnes, grading 3.51 grams per tonne gold and 172 grams per tonne silver remains in the inferred category, and contains 849,272 ounces of gold and 41,703,051 ounces of silver (1,559,462 gold equivalent ounces), as demonstrated in the following table:

### 3.2.2.8 Mining Operations

Currently all of the ore is obtained from underground. The El Cubo mine employs conventional drill and blast mining methods to extract the ore. Access to the mining areas is by adits, ramps and shafts.



The ore at El Cubo is treated by conventional means. These are crushing and grinding followed by flotation and cyanidation with the gold and silver recovered from solution using the Merrill-Crowe process. The ore is processed in three milling facilities. Two of the mills concentrate the gold and silver minerals by standard flotation methods. The other mill treats the ore directly with cyanide to extract the gold and silver. The recovered gold and silver is sent to Met-Mex for refining and sale.



The ore zones are generally steeply dipping in the order of 70° and are generally narrow averaging 1.6 m wide. The mining of the veins is by a resuing cut and fill method. The ore is accessed from a ramp and a drift is driven along the length of the ore zone. The stope mining is started from the drift by drilling uppers into the ore zone in the back of the drift and then blasting. The broken ore is removed from the stopes with scoop trams and loaded into trucks for transportation. Depending on the location in the underground mine the ore is taken to surface for subsequent milling via a system of ore passes, shafts and rail haulages. If the ore zone is too narrow for a scoop to operate, then after the broken ore is removed the wall rocks are drilled and blasted with this waste rock being left in the stope as fill. The stopes are also filled with development waste rock as well as deliberately mined waste wall rocks. When there is sufficient fill in the stope, the vein in the back is once again drilled and blasted and the process continues. Each time a new back is exposed it is sampled for further control in the stopes. The resuing method should allow narrower veins to be mined with reduced dilution.



As mining dilution is a big factor in the mill head grades, the Corporation is actively working to reduce the dilution to a minimum. Overall awareness of the dilution problem is the first step in reducing dilution. The dilution is being reduced with better control of the drilling pattern and improved blasting techniques. Steps are being taken to reduce the waste to the mill by controlling the mucking of the ore and not allowing over mucking into the waste fill. This mining method allows for a high extraction rate and it is estimated that approximately 95% of the ore can be extracted. Low grade sections can be left behind as pillars.  In addition, in December 2004 Mexgold introduced shrinkage stoping to reduce the mining cost and reduce the dilution of the ore. However, the shrinkage method does not provide the bulk of ore for milling.



The long range plan developed by El Cubo in 2005 anticipated the mill processing to capacity in 2006 (467,280 t/y) and beyond. The current proven and probable reserves are sufficient for 10 years of production. The forecast grades for 2006 were 3.61 g Au/t and 196 g Ag/t.



From August 8, 2006 when Gammon Lake acquired Mexgold, to December 31, 2006, El Cubo produced a total of 15,729 ounces of gold and 585,517 ounces of silver (27,439 gold equivalent ounces). The overall gold recovery was 88.1% in 2006 compared to the average recovery from 2005, 96.1%. The overall silver recovery was 87.4% in 2006 compared to the average recovery of 89.1 % in 2005.  The head grade for 2006 was 3.07 g Au/t and 114 g Ag/t. Production from the El Cubo mine in August and September was lower than expected due to an extraordinary number of lightning and rain storms.  The El Cubo mine has low voltage transmission lines that lack proper lightning protection and caused frequent losses of power to the beneficiation plant.  During the month of September, the Corporation committed to a major upgrade of the electrical distribution system.  The Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) has since agreed to provide the Corporation with a new 115kv line with complete lightning protection to eliminate this problem in the future.  The Corporation also replaced some bearings in the ball mill which caused a production loss during the month of August.



El Cubo had a contract to sell its gold and silver production to Met-Mex, an arm's length, privately held corporation incorporated in Mexico.  The duration of this contract extended from December 24, 2003 to December 31, 2006.  After that binding period for both parties, the contract remains in force until any of the parties give notice in writing to the other about the termination of it, at least 90 days in advance to the termination date.  As of the date hereof, neither party has provided or been provided with a termination notice and the contract remains in effect.  Prices for sales in 2006 were set at market rates. In addition, El Cubo agreed to deliver to Met-Mex, 100% of its annual production for the year ended December 31, 2006 (44,700 silver ounces and 1,250,000 gold ounces).

The El Cubo mine is expected to have a mine life of ten years.

### 3.2.2.9 Economic Analysis

This section includes the planned production and estimated cash flow of the El Cubo mine based on the Proven and Probable Reserves. The cash flow has been done on a yearly basis for the 10 year life of the mine. All of the Proven and Possible Reserves are used in this cash flow estimate. This is in keeping with the directions in NI 43-101.



In addition, the GCA-LRK Report puts forward a longer range plan that includes the Inferred Resources that may be mined underground and processed in the company's mills. As well as the underground mining, there is a conceptual plan that will mine some low grade ores from open pits and recover the gold and silver using a heap leach method. There are some known low grade rezagas in the stopes underground. These rezagas will also be processed on the heap leach.



It is important to remember that both of these plans are estimations as to what might happen. In particular, the long range 20 year plan is a preliminary assessment including Inferred and Indicated Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them and to be categorized as mineral reserves. Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Resources, there is no assurance that Inferred Resourced will be updated to Measured and Indicated Resources or Proven and Probable Reserves as a result of continued exploration and development.  Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The open pit is only conceptual at this stage as is the heap leach. The costs attributed to mining and processing the ores are reasonable estimates, however further drilling is needed to confirm the tonnes and grades of the resources in the open pits and the amount of waste that must be removed. The cost of establishing a heap leach has been estimated, however until the proper engineering of the site and the design of the heap leach process is done, the project remains conceptual. There is no certainty that the 20 year plan will be realized.



It is estimated that the Proven and Probable Reserves that have been identified at El Cubo and Las Torres will be sufficient for ten years at the full production rate of the company's mills. At this time there are no plans to activate the mill that is part of the Las Torres property lease. This plan is dependent on El Cubo increasing the mining rate as planned so that the mills can be run at capacity. This is probably the biggest risk factor in this evaluation.



The following table summarizes the forecast results based on the Proven and Probable Reserves and the assumptions set out in the table.  For more details, Shareholders should refer to the GCA-LRK Report.

Stevens, C.P.G. of Pincock, Allen & Holt in accordance with NI 43-101 (the PAH Report).  The information on the exploration work done on the property since the date of the PAH Report is summarized from the material change report filed by Mexgold on August 16, 2005.  Jim McGlasson, C.P.G. and P.Geo, is the qualified person responsible for all technical data reported in that material change report pursuant to NI 43-101.  The full text of the PAH Report and the material change report of August 16, 2005 are available under Mexgold's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

### 

### 3.2.3.1 Property Description and Location

The Guadalupe y Calvo gold-silver exploration project is an exploration project in a previously mined area adjacent to the town of Guadalupe y Calvo in the southwest corner of the State of Chihuahua in Mexico. It is approximately 300 km southwest of the city of Chihuahua.

3.2.3.2 Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography



The necessary infrastructure and a local workforce are both available. Mining and forestry are the major industries in the region.



Chihuahua has a well-developed transportation network with over 4,000 km of paved highways, 7,000 km of improved roads and 2,100 km of railway. International airports are located in the cities of Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua. Access to Guadalupe y Calvo from Parral, the nearest major city, is via Federal Highway 24, a paved two-lane road, approximately 271 km to the town of Guadalupe y Calvo. The project lies immediately to the south west of the town. An airstrip is also present near the town of Guadalupe y Calvo.  The nearest town, Guadalupe y Calvo, is located at the southern eastern edge of the project area and has an estimated population of 5,000 people. Guadalupe y Calvo is the seat of the municipal government.



The climate is temperate with cool winters and mild summers. Rainfall is erratic in terms of yearly precipitation and occurs mainly during the summer monsoon season. The average annual precipitation is approximately 800 mm. Vegetation consists of pine and mixed pine and deciduous forest.



On site facilities consist of a hacienda with offices, housing and dining facilities. The hacienda is currently connected to the national power grid and telephone lines are available for installation. A 40 tpd mill with flotation recovery circuit is present along with various storage facilities.

### 3.2.3.3 History

Gold has been mined in the area from 1835, when what is now called the Rosario vein was discovered, until 1940. While accurate production records are not available for the period from 1835 to 1940, it is postulated that 2 million ounces of gold and 28 million ounces of silver were mined. The average grade of the production has been tentatively estimated at 37 g Au/t and 870 g Ag/t.  In 1978, the Compania Minera Los Maples de C.V. (Los Maples) acquired the property and installed a 42 t/d mill with a flotation circuit. A Merrill Crowe recovery system was present in the 1980's and used in a small heap leach.



In the 1980's various studies were done but no further exploration was done. In 1994, Glamis Gold Ltd. (Glamis) sampled the surface and underground. In 1996, limited mapping and sampling and bottle roll tests were done by V-Fund Investments (V-Fund). In 1998, Augusta Resource Corp. (Augusta) drilled 9 reverse circulation holes totalling 1,082 m on the San Francisco portion of the Rosario vein. One of the holes also intersected the Nankin vein.



In October 2003 Mexgold commenced drilling at Guadalupe and continued to May 2004. A total of 37 holes were completed. These holes intersected the San Francisco, Nankin, Zorilla and the Pertenencia veins. No work has been done on the property since May 2004.

### 3.2.3.4 Geological Setting and Mineralization

The Guadalupe project is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental physiographic province. In late Cretaceous and continuing on throughout the Tertiary, the Sierra Madre region was the site of intense volcanic and intrusive activity. Volcanic stratigraphy has been broken down into two main groups the Lower Volcanic Group (LVG) and the Upper Volcanic Group (UVG). LVG rocks are the host of nearly all of the gold and silver deposits that have been found in the Sierra Madre to date.

37

---





Within the Guadalupe y Calvo project area an erosional window of LVG rock is exposed, surrounded by UVG rhyolitic flows and tuffs. The main structural feature in the project area is the Rosario fault complex. The Rosario structure strikes N 40o W and dips 45o to 50o to the west. Several east-west striking structures are present, including the Nankin, which dip approximately 35o to the south. The Concordia and El Sol structures strike N 60o W, and dip to the south. The Rosario breccia-vein complex splits into two distinct structures near its southern exposure, the footwall structure being the name Refugio. Mapping by Glamis indicates the Refugio structure has an almost due north strike and dips approximately 45o to 50o to the west. Its northerly extension appears to be covered by alluvium. As virtually no exploration has been done in the footwall of the main Rosario structure, it is possible that other 30o splay structures off the main Rosario structure may be present. The limited exposure of the LVG rocks makes interpretation of the structural fabric in regional terms difficult.



Guadalupe y Calvo is a classic gold-silver epithermal district and in general is classified as a pluton related adularia-sericite system. Based on mineralogy and alteration, gold-silver mineralization, it is of the low-sulfidation quartz-adularia type. The system contains quartz veins, quartz breccias and stockworks hosting economically significant gold and silver mineralization. The mineralization commonly exhibits open-space filling textures and is associated with volcanic related hydrothermal to geothermal systems. The host Rosario structure is a complex fault system containing multiple fault segments with the intervening ground being highly fractured. These multiple fault segments host classic ribbon veins and quartz breccias, the result of repeated opening of the host structure. The intervening fractured ground has been highly silicified and hosts quartz stockwork mineralization.



Detailed mineralogy has not been completed, but based on hand lens observations and cyanide leach characteristics, the dominant precious metal minerals are believed to be electrum and argentite. The fact that Los Maples employed a flotation recovery circuit to recover gold and silver would indicate that the precious metals are fine grained in nature. Pyrite with lesser and variable amounts of sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena are also present.



Total width of the mineralized zone within the Rosario fault complex is up to 80 m. Historic underground mining widths of high-grade gold-silver mineralization were up to 10 m.



Low sulfidation epithermal gold-silver mineralization is the result of pressure and temperature changes within a metal bearing hydrothermal system. Therefore economic gold and silver mineralization generally occurs within a distinct elevational horizon. Often silver content, along with base metals, increase as the bottom of the mineralized horizon is reached. Past mining operations at Guadalupe y Calvo have exploited high-grade gold and silver mineralization over a vertical range of approximately 250 m. Analysis of available data does not indicate a major increase in silver or base metal content with increasing depth. Both historic and modern data show that high-grade gold and silver mineralization is present in the lowest levels of both the Rosario and Nankin structures, therefore it is probable that mineralization continues.



Historic operations were hindered by water problems when the valley floor water table was reached. The inability of past operations to deal with water inflow is believed to be the reason mining was not pursued down dip rather than the absence of high grade gold-silver mineralization.

### 3.2.3.5 Exploration and Drilling

Glamis, V-Fund and Augusta have conducted modern, well-documented, exploration activities in the area. In addition, Phillip Argall conducted well-documented underground exploration program in 1902. The results of these exploration programs are summarized in the PAH Report.



To date, the Corporation has drilled a total of 37 holes, including eight new holes announced in August 2004. Drilling has been conducted as part of a 30,000-metre exploration drilling program, announced early in 2004. Gold-equivalent grades from all drill holes to date with intercepts above a 3.0 gram per tonne cut off grade average 10.9 grams per tonne (4.22 grams per tonne gold and 437 grams per tonne silver), over an average interval of 2.1 m. Gold-equivalent grades to date from drill holes with intercepts above a 0.5 gram per tonne cut off grade average 2.3 grams per tonne gold equivalent (0.86 grams per tonne gold and 94 grams per tonne silver), over an average interval of 11.6 m. Results from the eight new holes returned 10 intercepts above a 3.0 g/t cut off grade, contained within 10 intercepts above a 0.5 g/t cut off grade.  The gold-equivalent values used above are based on 65 grams of silver = 1 gram of gold, calculated on a gold price of US$400 per ounce and a silver price of US$6.15 per ounce.

38

---





There was not enough drilling done to make any changes to the Inferred Resource that has been estimated in the PAH Report. The PAH Report Inferred Resource was based on the work by previous operators of the property.

### 3.2.3.6 Sampling, Analysis and Security of Samples

All of the drilling samples are available at the mine office building located near the town of Guadalupe y Calvo. This building is locked and a watchman is there to protect the building, its contents, and the samples.  Analysis of samples was performed by Chemex laboratories of Vancouver, British Columbia, employing fire assay analysis techniques.

### 3.2.3.7 Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

There is not sufficient information to establish anything except an Inferred Resource for this project. Any tonnages and grades that are given in the Inferred Resource can only be considered as a guide (or exploration target) as to what may be there if sufficient exploration and development is carried out.  The PAH Report calculated the potential of the zones from previous work done on the property by previous operators and in this way has come up with an Inferred Resource. These calculations should not be taken as accurate and should only be used as a guide for further work.



The assumption that the mineralized zone would extend a total of 500 m is the starting point of the calculation. There is no information to back this up except that the mines on other epithermal veins can extend that far or further. It is assumed that the upper remnants of the high grade zone could be mined along with the footwall (FW) and hangingwall (HW) in a bulk tonnage open pit. It is assumed that this pit would extend down 250 m from the top of the structures. The remaining portion could be mined from underground on the Rosario and the Nankin veins. A specific gravity of 2.5 was used in the calculations. This seems to be slightly conservative if the drill core that was examined was a reasonable example. To establish a grade for the bulk tonnage section the various samples that are shown above have been combined to establish the grades used. To establish the grade of the Rosario underground portion the historical grade estimated by L.J. Buchanan in 1981was cut in half to 18.6 g Au/t and 435 g Ag/t. To establish the grade of the underground portion of the Nankin vein the yearly production grade for 1938 was used. The records for 1938 were one of the last years when records were kept. The grades used for the Nankin underground were 9.25 g Au/t and 260 g Ag/t. The tonnage of the upper bulk section was reduced 25% and the underground was reduced 67% to establish a potential size.



The following table summarizes the inferred mineral resource estimated for the Rosario and Nankin structures.

(1)

Gold equivalent ounces are based on a ratio of 65 ounces of silver per ounce of gold.



These calculations do not take into account other structures that are known on the property and have not allowed for strike extensions that maybe below the post mineral cover.

3.3 Risk Factors



An investment in any securities of the Corporation is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of the Corporation's business and the present stage of exploration and development of its mineral properties. The following risk factors, as well as risks not currently known to the Corporation, could materially adversely affect the Corporation's future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements relating to the Corporation. Before deciding to invest in any securities of the Corporation, investors should consider carefully the risks included herein.

### 3.3.1 No History of Profitability

The Corporation has a limited history of producing precious metals from its properties and there can be no assurance that it will successfully expand or establish mining operations or profitably produce precious metals.



The Corporation has no history of profitability. Although commercial bodies of ore have been identified on the Ocampo Project and the El Cubo Project and production from such deposits has commenced, there is no assurance that they can be mined profitably.  Accordingly, it is not assured that the Corporation will realize any profits in the short to medium term.  Any profitability in the future from the business of the Corporation will be dependent upon developing and commercially mining economic deposits of minerals.



The Corporation has incurred losses and may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.  The Corporation incurred the following losses during each of the following periods:



•

CDN$28,692,380 for the year ended December 31, 2006;

•

CDN$11,607,510 for the five month period ended December 31, 2005; and

•

CDN$19,375,595 for the year ended July 31 2005.

The Corporation has an accumulated deficit of CDN$73,270,250 as of December 31, 2006, and had an accumulated deficit of CDN$44,577,870 as of December 31, 2005.



3.3.2

Reserves and Resources are Estimates



The figures for the Corporation's reserves and resources are estimates based on interpretation and assumptions and may yield less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated.



Unless otherwise indicated, mineral resource and reserve figures presented herein are based upon estimates made by company personnel and independent geologists. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. There can be no assurance that:



•

these estimates will be accurate;

•

reserves, resources or other mineralization figures will be accurate; or

•

this mineralization could be mined or processed profitably.



Mineralization estimates for the Corporation's properties may require adjustments or downward revisions based upon further exploration or development work or actual production experience. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined, if any, may differ from that indicated by drilling results. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale.



The reserve and resource estimates contained herein have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades and operating costs that may prove to be inaccurate. Extended declines in market prices for gold, silver and copper may render portions of the Corporation's mineralization uneconomic and result in reduced reported mineralization. Any material reductions in estimates of mineralization, or of the Corporation's ability to extract this mineralization, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.



40

---





3.3.3

The Corporation May Not Achieve Its Production Estimates



The figures for the Corporation's future production are estimates based on interpretation and assumptions and actual production may be less than is currently estimated.



The Corporation prepares estimates of future gold and silver production for its operating mines. The Corporation cannot give any assurance that it will achieve its production estimates. The failure of the Corporation to achieve its production estimates could have a material and adverse affect on any or all of its future cash flows, profitability, results of operations and financial condition. These production estimates are dependent on, among other things, the accuracy of mineral reserve estimates, the accuracy of assumptions regarding ore grades and recovery rates, ground conditions, physical characteristics of ores, such as hardness and the presence or absence of particular metallurgical characteristics and the accuracy of estimated rates and costs of mining and processing.



The Corporation's actual production may vary from its estimates for a variety of reasons, including, actual ore mined varying from estimates of grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other characteristics; short-term operating factors such as the need for sequential development of ore bodies and the processing of new or different ore grades from those planned; mine failures, slope failures or equipment failures; industrial accidents; natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, droughts, rock slides and earthquakes; encountering unusual or unexpected geological conditions; changes in power costs and potential power shortages; shortages of principal supplies needed for operation, including explosives, fuels, chemical reagents, water, equipment parts and lubricants; labour shortages or strikes; civil disobedience and protests; and restrictions or regulations imposed by government agencies or other changes in the regulatory environments. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties, interruptions in production, injury or death to persons, damage to property of the Corporation or others, monetary losses and legal liabilities. These factors may cause a mineral deposit that has been mined profitably in the past to become unprofitable forcing the Corporation to cease production. It is not unusual in new mining operations to experience unexpected problems during the start-up phase. Depending on the price of gold or other minerals, the Corporation may determine that it is impractical to commence or, if commenced, to continue commercial production at a particular site.



3.3.4

Mining Risks and Insurance



Mining is inherently dangerous and subject to conditions or events beyond the Corporation's control, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business.



Mining involves various types of risks and hazards, including:



•

environmental hazards;



•

industrial accidents;



•

metallurgical and other processing problems;



•

unusual or unexpected rock formations;



•

structural cave-ins or slides;



•

seismic activity;



•

flooding;



•

fires;

41

---





•

periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions;



•

variations in grade, deposit size, density and other geological problems;



•

mechanical equipment performance problems;



•

unavailability of materials and equipment including fuel;



•

labour force disruptions;



•

unanticipated or significant changes in the costs of supplies including, but not limited to, petroleum; and



•

unanticipated transportation costs.



These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury or death, loss of key employees, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability.



Where considered practical to do so, the Corporation maintains insurance against risks in the operation of its business in amounts which it believes to be reasonable.  Such insurance, however, contains exclusions and limitations on coverage.  There can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available, will be available at economically acceptable premiums or will be adequate to cover any resulting liability.  Insurance against certain environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from production, is not generally available to the Corporation or to other companies within the mining industry.  The Corporation may suffer a material adverse effect on its business if it incurs losses related to any significant events that are not covered by its insurance policies. Payment of such liabilities would reduce funds available for acquisition of mineral prospects or exploration and development and would have a material adverse affect on the financial position of the Corporation.

### 3.3.5 Uncertainty of Exploration and Development Projects

Exploration and development projects are uncertain and consequently it is possible that actual cash operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those estimated for a project prior to production.



Because mines have limited lives based on proven and probable mineral reserves, the Corporation will be required to continually replace and expand its mineral reserves as its mines produce gold. The life-of-mine estimates included in this annual information form may not be correct. The Corporation's ability to maintain or increase its annual production of gold and silver in the future will be dependent in significant part on its ability to identify and acquire aditional commercially viable mineral properties, bring new mines into production and to expand mineral reserves at existing mines.



Mineral resource exploration and development is a highly speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production.  There can be no assurance that the Corporation will successfully acquire additional mineral rights.  While discovery of additional ore-bearing structures may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  Major expenses may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site.  It is impossible to ensure that the current exploration and development programs of the Corporation will result in profitable commercial mining operations.  The profitability of the Corporation's operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of its exploration and development programs which may be affected by a number of factors.



Development projects are subject to the completion of successful feasibility studies and environmental assessments, issuance of necessary governmental permits and receipt of adequate financing.  They typically require a number of years and significant expenditures during the development phase before production is possible.  The economic feasibility of development projects is based on many factors such as.



42

---





•

estimation of reserves;



•

anticipated metallurgical recoveries;



•

environmental considerations and permitting;



•

future gold prices; and



•

anticipated capital and operating costs.



Estimates of mineral resources and reserves and cash operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon the interpretation of geologic data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques, and feasibility studies which derive estimates of cash operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of metals from the ore, estimated operating costs, anticipated climatic conditions and other factors.  As a result, it is possible that actual cash operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those currently estimated for a project prior to production.



Any of the following events, among others, could affect the profitability or economic feasibility of a project:



•

unanticipated changes in grade and tonnage of ore to be fined and processed;



•

unanticipated adverse geotechnical conditions;



•

incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made;



•

costs of constructing and operating a mine in a specific environment;



•

availability and costs of processing and refining facilities;



•

availability of economic sources of power;



•

adequacy of water supply;



•

adequate access to the site, including competing land uses (such as agriculture);



•

unanticipated transportation costs;



•

government regulations (including regulations regarding prices, royalties, duties, taxes, permitting, restrictions on production, quotas on exportation of minerals, as well as the costs of protection of the environment and agricultural lands);



•

title claims, including aboriginal land claims;



•

fluctuations in prices of precious metals; and



•

accidents, labour actions and force majeure events.



Anticipated capital and operating costs, production and economic returns, and other estimates contained in feasibility studies, if prepared, may differ significantly from the Corporation's actual capital and operating costs.  In addition, delays to construction schedules may negatively impact the net present value and internal rates of return of the Corporation's mineral properties as set forth in the applicable feasibility studies.



The future development of the Corporation's properties that are found to be economically feasible, including the expansion of the Ocampo Project and the El Cubo Project if new reserves are discovered, will require the expansion and improvement of existing mining operations, as well as the construction and operation of additional mines, processing plants and related infrastructure.  As a result, the Corporation is subject to all of the risks associated with establishing and expanding mining operations and business enterprises including:



43

---





•

the timing and cost, which will be considerable, of the construction of additional mining and processing facilities;



•

the availability and costs of skilled labour, power, water, transportation and mining equipment;



•

the availability and cost of appropriate smelting and/or refining arrangements;



•

the need to obtain necessary environmental and other governmental approvals and permits, and the timing of those approvals and permits; and



•

the availability of funds to finance construction and development activities.



The costs, timing and complexities of mine construction and development are increased by the remote location of the Corporation's mining properties.  It is not unusual in new mining operations to experience unexpected problems and delays during the construction and development of a mine. In addition, delays in the commencement or expansion of mineral production often occur and, once commenced or expanded, the production of a mine may not meet expectations or estimates set forth in feasibility or other studies.  Accordingly, there are no assurances that the Corporation will successfully develop and expand mining operations or profitably produce precious metals at its properties, including the Ocampo Project and the El Cubo Project.

### 3.3.6 Integration of New Acquisitions

The Corporation may experience problems integrating new acquisitions into existing operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.



The Corporation recently acquired Mexgold and may make selected acquisitions in the future.  The Corporation's success at completing any acquisitions will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:



•

identifying acquisitions which fit the Corporation's strategy;



•

negotiating acceptable terms with the seller of the business or property to be acquired; and



•

obtaining approval from regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions of the business or property to be acquired.



If the Corporation does make further acquisitions, any positive effect on the Corporation's results will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:



•

assimilating the operations of an acquired business or property in a timely and efficient manner;



•

maintaining the Corporation's financial and strategic focus while integrating the acquired business or property;



•

implementing uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies at the acquired business; as appropriate; and





•

to the extent that the Corporation makes an acquisition outside of markets in which it has previously operated, conducting and managing operations in a new operating environment.



Acquiring additional businesses or properties could place increased pressure on the Corporation's cash flow if such acquisitions involve cash considerations or the assumption of obligations requiring cash payments.  The integration of the Corporation's existing operations with any acquired business will require significant expenditures of time, attention and funds.  Achievement of the benefits expected from consolidation would require the Corporation to incur significant costs in connection with, among other things, implementing financial and planning systems.  The Corporation may not be able to integrate the operations of a recently acquired business or restructure the Corporation's previously existing business operations without encountering difficulties and delays.  In addition, this integration may require significant attention from the Corporation's management team, which may detract attention from the Corporation's day-to-day operations.  Over the short-term, difficulties associated with integration could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, operating results, financial condition and the price of the Corporation's Common Shares.  In addition, the acquisition of mineral properties may subject the Corporation to unforeseen liabilities, including environmental liabilities.

### 3.3.7 Market Price of Gold and Silver

Changes in the market price of gold and other metals, which in the past has fluctuated widely, will affect the profitability of the Corporation's operations and financial condition.



The Corporation's profitability and long-term viability depend, in large part, upon the market price of gold and other metals and minerals produced from the Corporation's properties.  The market price of gold and other metals is volatile and is impacted by numerous factors beyond the Corporation's control, including:



•

expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;



•

the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and certain other currencies;



•

interest rates;



•

global or regional political or economic conditions;



•

supply and demand for jewellery and industrial products containing metals;



•

costs of substitutes;



•

changes in global or regional investment or consumption patterns; and



•

sales by central banks and other holders, speculators and producers of gold and other metals in response to any of the above factors.



There can be no assurance that the market price of gold and other metals will remain at current levels or that such prices will improve.  A decrease in the market price of gold and silver could adversely affect the profitability of the Corporation's existing mines and the Corporation's ability to finance the exploration and development of additional properties, which would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations.  A decline in the market price of gold or silver, or both, may also require the Corporation to write-down its mineral reserves which would have a material and adverse affect on its earnings and profitability. Further, if revenue from gold or silver sales, or both, declines, the Corporation may experience liquidity difficulties.

### 3.3.8 Foreign Operations



The Corporation's Mexican property interests and operations are subject to the political risks and uncertainties associated with investment in a foreign country.



All of the Corporation's property interests are located in Mexico, and are subject to Mexican federal and state laws and regulations.  As a result the Corporation's mining investments are subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of business in foreign countries. The Corporation believes the present attitude of the governments of Mexico and of the States of Chihuahua and Guanajuato (where the Corporation's projects are located) to foreign investment and mining to be favourable; however, investors should assess the political risks of investing in a foreign country.  Any variation from the current regulatory, economic and political climate could have an adverse effect on the affairs of the Corporation.



The risks of conducting business in a foreign country may include, among others, labour disputes, invalidation of governmental orders and permits, corruption, uncertain political and economic environments, sovereign risk, war (including in neighbouring states), civil disturbances and terrorist actions, arbitrary changes in laws or policies of particular countries, the failure of foreign parties to honour contractual relations, corruption, foreign taxation, delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary governmental permits, opposition to mining from environmental or other non-governmental organizations, limitations on foreign ownership, limitations on the repatriation of earnings, limitations on gold exports, instability due to economic under-development, inadequate infrastructure and increased financing costs. In addition, the enforcement by the Corporation of its legal rights to exploit its properties may not be recognized by the government of Mexico or by its court system. These risks may limit or disrupt the Corporation's operations, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contractual rights or the taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation.

### 3.3.9 Property Rights, Permits and Licensing

### The Corporation requires various property rights, permits and licenses  in order to conduct its current and anticipated future operations and delays or a failure to obtain such property rights, permits and licenses, or a failure to comply with the terms of any such property rights, permits and licenses that the Corporation has obtained, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

The Corporation's current and anticipated future operations, including further exploration, development activities and expansion or commencement of production on the Corporation's properties, require certain permits and licenses from various levels of governmental authorities.  The Corporation may also be required to obtain certain property rights to access, or use, certain of its properties in order to proceed to development.  There can be no assurance that all licenses, permits or property rights which the Corporation requires for the expansion and construction of mining facilities and the conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or in a timely manner, or at all, that such terms may not be adversely changed, that required extension will be granted, or that the issuance of such licenses, permits or property rights will not be challenged by third parties.  Delays in obtaining or a failure to obtain such licenses, permits or property rights or extension thereto, challenges to the issuance of such licenses, permits or property rights, whether successful or unsuccessful, changes to the terms of such licenses, permits or property rights, or a failure to comply with the terms of any such licenses, permits or property rights that the Corporation has obtained, could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation.



In order for the Corporation to carry out its mining activities, the Corporation's exploitation licences must be kept current.  There is no guarantee that the Corporation's exploitation licences will be extended or that new exploitation licences will be granted.  In addition, such exploitation licences could be changed and there can be no assurances that any application to renew any existing licences will be approved.  The Corporation may be required to contribute to the cost of providing the required infrastructure to facilitate the development of its properties.  The Corporation will also have to obtain and comply with permits and licences which may contain specific conditions concerning operating procedures, water use, waste disposal, spills, environmental studies, abandonment and restoration plans and financial assurances.  There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to comply with any such conditions.



3.3.10

Uncertainties of Title



Title to the Corporation's mineral properties cannot be guaranteed and may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and other defects.



The Corporation cannot guarantee that title to its properties will not be challenged. Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties and the Corporation's ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained. The Corporation's mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. A successful challenge to the precise area and location of these claims could result in the Corporation being unable to operate on its properties as permitted or being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.

46

### 3.3.11 Impact of Regulatory Requirements

### Regulatory requirements significantly affect the Corporation's mining operations and may have a material adverse impact on our future cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

Mining operations, development and exploration activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, environmental protection and remediation, protection of endangered and protected species, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters.  Mining is subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production.  The costs of discovering, evaluating, planning, designing, developing, constructing, operating and closing mines and other facilities in compliance with such laws and regulations are significant.



Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in enforcement actions thereunder, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.



New laws and regulations, amendments to existing laws and regulations, administrative interpretation of existing laws and regulations, or more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations, could have a material adverse impact on our future cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

### 3.3.12 Impact of Environmental Laws and Regulations

### The Corporation's activities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase the Corporation's costs of doing business and restrict its operations.

### The Corporation's exploration and production activities in Mexico are subject to regulation by governmental agencies under various environmental laws. These laws address emissions into the air, discharges into water, management of waste, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, antiquities and endangered species and reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations. Environmental legislation in many countries is evolving and the trend has been towards stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and increasing responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations may require significant capital outlays on behalf of the Corporation and may cause material changes or delays in the Corporation's intended activities. There can be no assurance that future changes in environmental regulations will not adversely affect the Corporation's business, and it is possible that future changes in these laws or regulations could have a significant adverse impact on some portion of the Corporation's business, causing the Corporation to re-evaluate those activities at that time.

The Corporation cannot give any assurance that, notwithstanding its precautions, breaches of environmental laws (whether inadvertent or not) or environmental pollution will not materially and adversely affect its financial condition and its results from operations.  There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Corporation's operations.  Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which the Corporation holds interests which are unknown to the Corporation at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties.  Reclamation costs are uncertain and planned expenditures may differ from the actual expenditures required.

### 3.3.13 Capital Investment

The Corporation will require significant external financing to continue its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties.



The ability of the Corporation to continue exploration and development of its property interests will be dependent upon its ability to increase revenues from its existing production and planned expansions, and to raise significant additional financing hereafter.  The sources of external financing that the Corporation may use for these purposes include project debt, and/or debt or equity offerings.  There is no assurance that the financing alternative chosen by the Corporation will be available to the Corporation, on favourable terms or at all.  Depending on the alternative chosen, the Corporation may have less control over the management of its projects.  There is no assurance that the Corporation will successfully increase revenues from existing and expanded production. Should the Corporation not be able to obtain such financing and increase its revenues, it may become unable to acquire and retain its mineral concessions and carry out its development plan, and its property interests may be lost entirely.

A summary of the Corporation's financial commitments under the agreements under which the Corporation acquired its interests in the Ocampo Project is provided in the following table.  Also refer to Item 3:  Description of Business.



|Agreement               | Consideration                                                             | Terms

Upon sale of Ocampo Project to a third party.                                                                                                                         

### 3.3.14 Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the Corporation's directors and officers serve in similar positions with other public companies which put them in conflict of interest positions from time to time.



Certain of the directors and officers serve as directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other public companies and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a directors or officers of the Corporation and their duties as a directors, officers, promoters or members of management of such other companies.



The directors and officers of the Corporation are aware of the existence of laws governing accountability of directors and officers for corporate opportunity and requiring disclosures by directors of conflicts of interest and the Corporation will rely upon such laws in respect of any directors' and officers' conflicts of interest or in respect of any breaches of duty by any of its directors or officers. All such conflicts will be disclosed by such directors or officers in accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act and they will govern themselves in respect thereof to the best of their ability in accordance with the obligations imposed upon them by law.

### 3.3.15  Dependence on Key Personnel

The Corporation may experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified management and technical personnel to meet the needs of its anticipated growth, and the failure to manage the Corporation's growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition.



The success of the Corporation is heavily dependent on its key personnel and on its ability to motivate, retain and attract highly skilled persons.  The competition for qualified personnel in the mining industry is currently intense. In order to attract and retain its key personnel, the Corporation has sought to provide its personnel with challenging work and a variety of opportunities for advancement through growth and expansion of the Corporation's business, and through equity participation.



The Corporation considers Messrs. Fred George and Bradley H. Langille to be key employees and maintains life insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 on the lives of each of these officers.  The loss of these key persons or the Corporation's inability to attract and retain additional highly skilled employees required for the development of the Corporation's activities may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business or future operations.



48

---





In addition, the Corporation anticipates that, as it expands its existing production and brings additional properties into production, and as the Corporation acquires additional mineral rights, the Corporation will experience significant growth in its operations.  The Corporation expects this growth to create new positions and responsibilities for management personnel and to increase demands on its operating and financial systems, as well as to require the hiring of a significant number of additional operations personnel.  There can be no assurance that the Corporation will successfully meet these demands and effectively attract and retain additional qualified personnel to manage its anticipated growth and hire enough additional operations personnel.  The failure to attract such qualified personnel to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition or results of operations.



3.3.16

Increased Competition and Costs



Increased competition could adversely affect the Corporation's ability to acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future. Recent high metal prices have increased demand for, and cost of, exploration, development and construction services and equipment.



The international mining industry is highly competitive.  The Corporation's ability to acquire properties and add reserves in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop its present properties, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration.  The Corporation may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because it must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than the Corporation. The Corporation may also encounter increasing competition from other mining companies in its efforts to hire experienced mining professionals. Competition for exploration resources at all levels is currently very intense, particularly affecting the availability of manpower, drill rigs and helicopters. Increased competition could adversely affect the Corporation's ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.



Recent increases in gold prices have encouraged increases in mining exploration, development and construction activities, which have resulted in increased demand for, and cost of, exploration, development and construction services and equipment. Increased demand for services and equipment could cause project costs to increase materially, resulting in delays if services or equipment cannot be obtained in a timely manner due to inadequate availability, and increase potential scheduling difficulties and cost increases due to the need to coordinate the availability of services or equipment, any of which could materially increase project exploration, development or construction costs, result in project delays or both.

### 3.3.17 Stock Price Volatility

The trading price for the Corporation's securities is volatile.



The trading price of the Corporation's Common Shares may be subject to large fluctuations. The trading price of the Corporation's Common Shares may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including:



•

the price of gold and other metals;

•

the Corporation's operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies;

•

the public's reaction to the Corporation's press releases, other public announcements and the Corporation's filings with the various securities regulatory authorities;

•

changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Corporation's Common Shares or the shares of other companies in the resource sector;

•

changes in general economic conditions;

•

the number of the Corporation's Common Shares to be publicly traded after an offering;

49

---





•

the arrival or departure of key personnel; and

•

acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving the Corporation or its competitors.



In addition, the market price of the Corporation's shares are affected by many variables not directly related to the Corporation's success and are therefore not within the Corporation's control, including other developments that affect the market for all resource sector shares, the breadth of the public market for the Corporation's shares, and the attractiveness of alternative investments. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of the Common Shares on the exchanges in which the Corporation trades has historically made the Corporation's share price volatile and suggests that the Corporation's share price will continue to be volatile in the future.

### 3.3.18 Dilution

The Corporation may raise funds for future operations through the issuance of shares, debt instruments or other securities convertible into shares and such financings may result in the dilution of present and prospective shareholdings.



In order to finance future operations, the Corporation may raise funds through the issuance of shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into shares. The Corporation cannot predict the size of future issuances of Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of the Corporation's securities will have on the market price of the Corporation's Common Shares. Any transaction involving the issuance of previously authorized but unissued shares, or securities convertible into shares, would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective security holders.

### 3.3.19 Currency

Because the Corporation's producing properties are located in Mexico and will have production costs incurred in Mexican pesos, while gold and other metals are generally sold in United States dollars, the Mexican project results could be materially adversely affected by an appreciation of the Mexican peso.



Gold and other metals are sold throughout the world principally in United States dollars. The Corporation's operating costs for its Mexican projects are incurred in Mexican pesos and certain costs are incurred and certain debt obligations are owed in United States dollars.  As a result, any significant and sustained appreciation of the Mexican peso against the United States dollar, or of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, may materially increase the Corporation's costs and reduce revenues, if any, on its Mexican projects. The Corporation does not currently use any derivative products to manage or mitigate any foreign exchange exposure.



3.3.20

Lack of Hedging



Because the Corporation does not currently intend to use forward sale arrangements to protect against low commodity prices, the Corporation's operating results are exposed to the impact of any significant drop in commodity prices.



The Corporation does not currently intend to enter into forward sales arrangements to reduce the risk of exposure to volatility in commodity prices. Accordingly, the Corporation's future operations are exposed to the impact of any significant decrease in commodity prices. If such prices decrease significantly at a time when the Corporation is producing, the Corporation would realize reduced revenues. While it is currently not the Corporation's current intention to enter into forward sales arrangements, the Corporation is not restricted from entering into forward sales arrangements at a future date.

### 3.3.21 Dividends

No dividends have been or will be paid in the foreseeable future.



To date, the Corporation has paid no dividends on its Common Shares. The Corporation intends to retain its earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of the business and does not intend to pay dividends on the Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Any return on an investment in the Corporation's Common Shares will come from the appreciation, if any, in the value of the Common Shares. The payment of future dividends, if any, will be reviewed periodically by the Corporation's board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, conditions then existing including earnings, financial condition and capital requirements, restrictions in financing agreements, business opportunities and conditions and other factors.   See Item 4:  Dividends.



50

3.3.22

Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley



The Corporation may fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting as per the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.



The Corporation documented and tested during its most recent fiscal year, its internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (''SOX''). SOX requires an annual assessment by management of the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting and an attestation report by the Corporation's independent auditors addressing this assessment. The Corporation may fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting as such standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, and the Corporation may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of SOX. The Corporation's failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of SOX on an ongoing, timely basis could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of its financial statements, which in turn could harm the Corporation's business and negatively impact the trading price of its Common Shares or market value of its other securities. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Corporation's operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Future acquisitions of companies may provide the Corporation with challenges in implementing the required processes, procedures and controls in its acquired operations. Acquired companies may not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those required by securities laws currently applicable to the Corporation.



No evaluation can provide complete assurance that the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Corporation to disclose material information otherwise required to be reported. The effectiveness of the Corporation's control and procedures could also be limited by simple errors or faulty judgments. In addition, as the Corporation continues to expand, the challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal controls over financial reporting will increase and will require that the Corporation continue to improve its internal controls over financial reporting. Although the Corporation intends to devote substantial time and incur substantial costs, as necessary, to ensure ongoing compliance, the Corporation cannot be certain that it will be successful in complying with Section 404.

### 3.3.23 Possible PFIC Status

The Corporation may be a ''passive foreign investment company'' for the current and future taxable years under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which may result in adverse tax consequences for investors in the United States.

### Shareholders and potential investors that are U.S. taxpayers should be aware that the Corporation may be a ''passive foreign investment company'' under Section 1297(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (a ''PFIC'') for the current and future taxable years. If the Corporation is or becomes a PFIC, any gain recognized on the sale of Common Shares and any ''excess distributions'' (as specifically defined) paid on the Common Shares must be ratably allocated to each day in a U.S. taxpayer's holding period for the Common Shares. The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to prior years of such U.S. taxpayer's holding period for the Common Shares generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax applicable to ordinary income in each such prior year, and the U.S. taxpayer will be required to pay interest on the resulting tax liability for each such prior year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such prior year.

### As an alternative to the U.S. federal income tax treatment if the Corporation is a PFIC as described above, a U.S. taxpayer that makes a ''QEF election'' generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. taxpayer's pro rata share of the Corporation's ''net capital gain'' and ''ordinary earnings'' (calculated under U.S. federal income tax rules), regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed by the Corporation. U.S. taxpayers should be aware that there can be no assurance that the Corporation will satisfy record keeping requirements or that it will supply U.S. taxpayers with required information under the QEF rules in the event that the Corporation is a PFIC and a U.S. taxpayer wishes to make a QEF election. As a second alternative, a U.S. taxpayer may make a ''mark-to-market election'' if the Corporation is a PFIC and the Common Shares are ''marketable stock'' (as specifically defined). A U.S. taxpayer that makes a mark-to-market election generally will include in gross income, for each taxable year in which the Corporation is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of the Common Shares as of the close of such taxable year over (b) such U.S. taxpayer's tax basis in such Common Shares.

51

# ITEM 4: DIVIDENDS

The Corporation has not declared or paid any dividends on its Common Shares since the date of its incorporation.  The Corporation intends to retain its earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of its business and does not expect to pay dividends or make any other distributions in the near future.  The Corporation's board of directors will review this policy from time to time having regard to the Corporation's financing requirements, financial condition and other factors considered to be relevant.



ITEM 5: DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE



5.1

General



The Corporation's authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without nominal or par value, an unlimited number of Class A preferred shares and an unlimited number of Class B preferred shares.  A total of 105,094,466 Common Shares are issued and outstanding as at the date of this annual information form.  There are no Class A or Class B preferred shares currently outstanding.



5.2

Common Shares

Each common share ranks equally with all other common shares with respect to dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation and payment of dividends.  The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters to be voted on by such holders and are entitled to receive pro rata such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors of the Corporation out of funds legally available therefor and to receive pro rata the remaining property of the Corporation on dissolution.  The holders of common shares have no pre-emptive or conversion rights.  The rights attaching to the Common Shares can only be modified by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders called for that purpose.



5.3

Class A and Class B Preferred Shares

The Class A and Class B preferred shares are non-cumulative, non-participating, voting and redeemable at their paid-in value.  Dividends on the Class A and Class B preferred shares are determined by the board of directors and are not to exceed 12% in the case of the Class A preferred shares and 13% in the case of the Class B preferred shares.  The Class A and Class B preferred shares are entitled to preference over the Common Shares and any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class A and Class B preferred shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, provided however that the Class A preferred shares have priority over the Class B preferred shares.  Any amendment to the articles of the Corporation to vary any rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attaching to the Class A or Class B preferred shares must, in addition to authorization by special resolution, be authorized by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting of holders of Class A or Class B preferred shares duly called for such purpose, each holder being entitled to one vote for each preferred share held.
