RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES




The terms “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” used in our disclosure are Canadian mining terms that are defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Best Practice Guidelines for the Estimation of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Standards”), adopted by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Industry Guide 7 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.




The terms “mineral resource,” “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” used in our disclosure are Canadian mining terms that are defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in the CIM Standards; however, these terms are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.




Accordingly, information contained in this report and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.




FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

KEY INFORMATION




3.A.           Selected Financial Data




Our selected financial data for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was derived from our financial statements that have been audited by Davidson & Company LLP, independent Chartered Accountants, as indicated in their audit reports.  Davidson & Company LLP is a member of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.




The selected financial data should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.




To date, we have not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund ongoing operational requirements and cash commitments.  We have financed our operations principally through the sale of our equity securities.  While we believe we have sufficient capital and liquidity to finance current operations, nevertheless, our ability to continue operations is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing.  See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors.”




The information in the following table is derived from our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and Canadian/USA Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (“GAAS”).  All material numerical differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP, are described in footnotes to the financial statements.

1
The cumulative net loss under US GAAP at April 30, 2010 is approximately $75 million.


2
Under US GAAP, options granted to non-employees as compensation for services provided are fair valued and an expense recorded.


3
Under SEC interpretation of US GAAP, all exploration costs on mineral properties prior to the establishment of proven or probable reserves are expensed as incurred.


4
Under Canadian income tax legislation, we are permitted to issue shares whereby we agree to incur qualifying expenditures (as defined under the Income Tax Act of Canada) on our mineral properties and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors.  Under Canadian GAAP, flow-through shares are accounted for as part of the issuance of capital stock at the price paid for the shares, net of any future income tax liability.  Under US GAAP, any difference between the market price of our common shares and the fair value of the flow-through shares must be recorded as a liability if a premium is paid by investors or as an asset if investors are purchasing the shares at a discount.  The asset or liability is charged to income as the flow-through share proceeds are expended on qualifying expenditures.


5
Under both Canadian and US GAAP, basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Under US GAAP, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes any shares held in escrow for which the release is subject to certain performance conditions.

Risk Factors




We are subject to a number of risks due to the nature of our business, including our present exploration state.  The following describes the material risks that could affect us.




5


There has been significant economic uncertainty since the second half of 2008 and it has affected the Company’s operations.




The recent unprecedented events in global financial markets have had a profound impact on the global economy. Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions.  Some of the key impacts of the current financial market turmoil include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metal markets, and a lack of market liquidity. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability.  Specifically:




• the global credit/liquidity crisis could impact the cost and availability of financing and the Company’s overall liquidity;




• the volatility of mineral prices would impact the Company’s revenues, profits, losses and cash flow potential;




• volatile energy prices, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates would impact the Company’s production costs; and




• the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets would impact the valuation of the Company’s equity and other securities.




These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a result, the Company will consider its plans and options carefully in fiscal 2011.




No known reserves




Our properties are in the exploration stage and are without a known body of mineral reserves.




We have no mineral producing properties at this time. Only those mineral deposits that we can economically and legally extract or produce, based on a comprehensive evaluation of cost, grade, recovery and other factors, are considered “reserves.” We have not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves on any of our properties. Although the mineralized material and mineralized deposit estimates included herein have been carefully prepared by us, or, in some instances have been prepared, reviewed or verified by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals from mineralized material will in fact be realized or that an identified mineralized deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) reserve.




Our planned exploration programs may not result in profitable commercial mining operations




Our operations involve exploration, and there is no guarantee that any of our activities will result in commercial production of any mineral deposits.  The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant financial and other risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits.  Major expenses are required to locate and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes, and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Our planned exploration programs may not result in a profitable commercial mining operation.  Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as quantity and quality of the minerals, costs and efficiency of the recovery methods that can be employed; proximity to infrastructure; financing costs; mineral prices, which are highly cyclical; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land  tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection.  The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted but could have a material adverse effect upon our operations and/or our ability to receive an adequate return on our invested capital.  There is no certainty that our




6


expenditures  made towards the search and evaluation of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals result in discoveries of mineral resources, mineral reserves or any other mineral occurrences, or in profitable commercial mining operations.




Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk




Our operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of uranium and other minerals, including environmental pollution, accidents or spills, industrial accidents, labor disputes, changes in the regulatory environment, natural phenomena, unusual and unexpected geologic formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave-ins, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage, delays in or cessation of production, exploration or development, monetary losses and cost increases which could make us uncompetitive, and could lead to possible legal liability. Although adequate precautions to minimize risk will be taken, mining operations are subject to hazards such as equipment failure or failure of retaining dams around tailings disposal areas which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability.  In addition, due to the radioactive nature of the materials handled in uranium mining, applicable regulatory requirements result in additional costs that must be incurred.




Our resource estimates may not be reliable




There is no certainty that any of our mineral resources will be economically mineable. Until a deposit is actually mined and processed the quantity of mineral resources and grades must be considered as estimates only.  Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. In addition, the quantity of mineral resources may vary depending on, among other things, metal prices.  Any material change in quantity of mineral resources, grade or stripping ratio may affect the economic viability of our properties or any project we undertake. In addition, there can be no assurance that mineral or other metal recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in a larger scale test under on-site conditions or during production.




Fluctuations in prices of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals, results of drilling, metallurgical testing and production and the evaluation of studies, reports and plans subsequent to the date of any estimate may require revision of such estimate. Any material reductions in estimates of mineral resources could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.




We rely on a limited number of properties




Our only properties of interest are currently the Central Mineral Belt properties in Labrador, the Golden Promise, South Golden Promise and Victoria Lake properties in Newfoundland and the Bootheel and Buckpoint properties located in the United States. As a result, unless we acquire additional property interests, any adverse developments affecting these properties could have a material adverse effect upon our business and would materially and adversely affect our potential mineral resource production, profitability, financial performance and results of operations.




Competition from other energy sources and public acceptance of nuclear energy may affect the demand for uranium




Nuclear energy competes with other sources of energy, including oil, natural gas, coal and hydro-electricity.  These other energy sources are to some extent interchangeable with nuclear energy, particularly over the longer term.  Lower prices of oil, natural gas, coal and hydro-electricity may result in lower demand for uranium concentrate and uranium conversion services.  Furthermore, the growth of the uranium and nuclear power industry beyond its current level will depend upon continued and increased acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity.  Because of unique political, technological and environmental factors that affect the nuclear industry, the industry is subject to public opinion risks which could have an adverse impact on the demand for nuclear power and increase the regulation of the nuclear power industry.




7


We face strong competition for the acquisition of mining properties




The mining industry is competitive in all of its phases. We face strong competition from other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of properties producing, or capable of producing, uranium and precious metals.  Many of these companies have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than we do.  As a result of this competition, we may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on terms we consider acceptable, if at all. Consequently, our revenues, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.




The Nunatsiavut moratorium may adversely affect our ability to raise capital




In order to develop the tools to evaluate the impact of large-scale development projects and the environmental impact, on April 8, 2008, Labrador’s Nunatsiavut Government announced a moratorium on uranium mining on Inuit land it governs until March 31, 2011 after which the issue is to be revisited.  The moratorium has had a material adverse impact on all uranium exploration and mining companies in Labrador, regardless of whether their properties fall under Nunatsiavut  jurisdiction.  Even though the majority of our uranium properties do not fall under Nunatsiavut jurisdiction, we have experienced waning shareholder interest and difficulty in raising the capital required for the development of our projects. If the moratorium is lifted on March 31, 2011, we expect shareholder interest and our ability to raise capital to return.




We do not have a history of mineral production or operations




We have never had any interest in mineral producing properties.  There is no assurance that commercial quantities of minerals will be discovered at our current properties or any future properties, nor is there any assurance that our exploration programs thereon will yield any positive results.  Even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, there can be no assurance that any of our properties will ever be brought to a stage where mineral resources can profitably be produced thereon.  Factors which may limit our ability to produce mineral resources from our properties include, but are not limited to, the price of the mineral resources which are being explored for, availability of additional capital and financing and the nature of any mineral deposits.




We do not have an extensive operating history and there can be no assurance of our ability to operate our projects profitably in the future.




Our insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with our operations




Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labor disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes.  Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to our properties or other properties, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.




Our insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with a mining company’s operations.  We may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums.  Insurance coverage may not be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, there are risks against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure.  Insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to us or to other companies in the uranium mining industry. We might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which we may not be insured against or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause substantial delays and require us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, competitive position and potentially our financial viability.




8


Our operations are subject to environmental regulation




All phases of our operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which we operate or may operate in the future. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste.  Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.  There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect our operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which we hold interests which are unknown to us at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties.




Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development of mineral properties 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.




Our operations are dependent on adequate infrastructure




Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure.  Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs.  Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and results of operations.




Our properties may be subject to undetected title defects




It is possible there may still be undetected title defects affecting our properties. Title insurance generally is not available, and our ability to ensure that we have obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained. Furthermore, we have not conducted surveys of the claims in which we hold interests and, therefore, the precise area and location of such claims may be in doubt. Accordingly, our properties may be subject to prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects which could have a material adverse impact on our operations.  In addition, we may be unable to operate our properties as permitted or to enforce our rights with respect to our properties.




We may be subject to additional costs for land reclamation




It is difficult to determine the exact amounts which will be required to complete all land reclamation activities in connection with our properties.  Reclamation bonds and other forms of financial assurance represent only a portion of the total amount of money that will be spent on reclamation activities over the life of a mine.  Accordingly, it may be necessary to revise planned expenditures and operating plans in order to fund reclamation activities.  Such costs may have a material adverse impact upon our financial condition and results of operations.




The inability to obtain necessary permits would adversely affect our ability to operate our business




We may not receive the necessary permits or receive them on acceptable terms, if at all, in order to conduct further exploration and to develop our properties.  The failure to obtain such permits, or delays in obtaining such permits, could adversely affect our operations.




Government approvals, approval of aboriginal people and permits are currently and may in the future be required in connection with our operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained; we may be curtailed or




9


prohibited from continuing our mining operations or from proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties.




We do not have a hedging policy and are subject to risk from declines in mineral prices




We do not have a hedging policy and we have no current intention of adopting such a policy.  Accordingly, we have no protections from declines in mineral prices.




We will require additional capital for our mining operations




The development and exploration of our mining properties will require substantial additional financing.  Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration, development or production on our properties or even a loss of property interest. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available when needed or that, if available, the terms of financing such capital will be acceptable to us.  In addition, any future financing may be dilutive to our existing shareholders.




Future production from our mining properties, if any, is dependent upon the prices of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals being adequate to make these properties economically viable




Mineral and base metals prices received, if any, could be such that our properties cannot be mined at a profit.  The price of our common shares, and our financial results and exploration, development and mining activities may in the future be significantly and adversely affected by declines in the price of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals. The price of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals fluctuates widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as the sale or purchase of commodities by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, the political and economic conditions and production costs of major mineral-producing countries throughout the world, and the cost of  substitutes, inventory levels and carrying charges.  With respect to uranium, such factors include the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions in uranium producing and consuming countries, uranium supply from secondary sources, uranium production levels and costs of production.  Future serious price declines in the market value of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals could cause development of and commercial production from our properties to be impracticable.  Depending on the price of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals, cash flow from mining operations may not be sufficient and we could be forced to discontinue production and may lose our interest in, or may be forced to sell, some of our properties.  Future production from our mining properties, if any, is dependent upon the prices of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals being adequate to make these properties economically viable.




In addition to adversely affecting our reserve estimates, if any, and our financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.




Exchange rate fluctuations may effectively increase our costs of exploration and production




Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that we incur in our operations.  Uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals are generally sold in U.S. dollars and our costs are incurred principally in Canadian dollars.  The appreciation of non-U.S. dollar currencies against the U.S. dollar can increase the cost of exploration and production in U.S. dollar terms, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability, results of operations and financial condition.




10


Our operations are subject to extensive governmental regulation that may adversely affect our operating costs




Our mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labor standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people, and other matters.  Although our exploration and development activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, new rules and regulations may be enacted or existing rules and regulations may be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development.  Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on our operations. Worldwide demand for uranium is directly tied to the demand for energy produced by the nuclear electric industry, which is also subject to extensive government regulations and policies.




Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining and exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on our operations and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs, or reduction in levels of production at producing properties, or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.




The market price of our common shares may experience substantial volatility




In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many mineral exploration companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.  The price of our common shares is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in prices of uranium, vanadium, copper, gold, base metals and other minerals, or in our financial condition or results of operations as reflected in our quarterly earnings reports.  Other factors unrelated to our performance that may have an effect on the price of our common shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning our business may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow our securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in our securities may affect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of our common shares; the size of our public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in our securities; and a substantial decline in the price of our common shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause our securities to be delisted from such exchange, further reducing market liquidity.




We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future




No dividends on our common shares have been paid to date and we have no earnings. We currently plan to retain all future earnings and other cash resources, if any, for the future operation and development of our business.  Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account many factors, including our operating results, financial condition, and current and anticipated cash needs.




Future sales of common shares by existing shareholders could adversely affect the trading price of our common shares




Sales of a large number of our common shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of common shares.




We are dependent upon the services of our key executives




We are dependent upon the services of key executives, including our directors and a small number of highly skilled and experienced executives and personnel. Due to our relatively small size, the loss of our Chief Executive Officer, Stewart Wallis, or our Executive Chairman, Mark Morabito, or our inability to attract and retain additional highly-skilled employees may adversely affect our future operations.




11


Our directors and officers have certain conflicts of interest




Certain of our directors and officers also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies involved in natural resource exploration and development and, consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict.




We have no positive cash flow and no recent history of earnings and we are dependent upon public and private contributions of equity to obtain capital in order to sustain our operations




None of our properties have advanced to the commercial production stage and we have no history of earnings or positive cash flow from operations.  Our cumulative loss, as of the year ended April 30, 2010 determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is approximately $75 million.  We do not know if we will ever generate material revenue from mining operations or if we will ever achieve self-sustaining commercial mining operations.  Historically, the only source of funds available to us has been through the sale of our equity securities. Any future additional equity financing would cause dilution to current shareholders.




As of July 20, 2010  we had 10,918,528 share purchase options, 511,253 share purchase units (each unit consisting of one share and one-half of one share purchase warrant) and 17,539,091 share purchase warrants  If all of these securities were exercised, the number of common shares issued and outstanding would increase from 131,477,493 to 160,702,992.  This represents an increase of`18.19% in the number of shares issued and outstanding and would result in significant dilution to current shareholders.




Dilution through employee, director and consultant stock options could adversely affect our shareholders by decreasing shareholder value




Because our success is highly dependent upon our employees, we have granted to some or all of our key employees, directors and consultants options to purchase common shares as non-cash incentives.  To the extent that significant numbers of such options may be granted and exercised, the interests of our other shareholders may be diluted. As of July 20, 2010, there were 10,918,528 share purchase options outstanding, which, if exercised, would result in an additional 10,918,528 common shares being issued.




If we become subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, the risks associated with penny stock classification could affect the marketability of our equity securities and shareholders could find it difficult to sell their common shares




If we do not maintain the NYSE Amex Equities (“NYSE Amex”) listing for our common shares or a listing of our common stock on another national securities exchange in the United States, and if the trading price of our common shares is less than US $5.00 per share, our common stock will become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).  The SEC has adopted the penny stock rules to regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than US $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange.




Transaction costs associated with purchases and sales of penny stocks are likely to be higher than those for other securities.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.




12


In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our equity securities in the United States and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.




U.S. investors may not be able to enforce their civil liabilities against us or our directors, controlling persons and officers




It may be difficult to bring and enforce suits against us.  We are incorporated in the province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (formerly the Company Act).  Our directors and officers are residents of Canada, and all or substantial portions of their assets are located outside of the United States, predominately in Canada.  As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. holders of our common shares to effect service of process on these persons within the United States or to realize in the United States upon judgments rendered against them.  In addition, a shareholder should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States.




However, U.S. laws would generally be enforced by a Canadian court provided that those laws are not contrary to Canadian public policy, are not foreign penal laws or laws that deal with taxation or the taking of property by a foreign government and provided that they are in compliance with applicable Canadian legislation regarding the limitation of actions.  Also, a Canadian court would generally recognize a judgment obtained in a U.S. Court except, for example, where:




a)
the U.S. court that rendered the judgment had no jurisdiction according to applicable Canadian law;




b)
the judgment was subject to ordinary remedy (appeal, judicial review and any other judicial proceeding which renders the judgment not final, conclusive or enforceable under the laws of the applicable state) or not final, conclusive or enforceable under the laws of the applicable state;




c)
the judgment was obtained by fraud or in any manner contrary to natural justice or rendered in contravention of fundamental principles of procedure; or




d)
a dispute between the same parties, based on the same subject matter has given rise to a judgment rendered in a Canadian court or has been decided in a third country and the judgment meets the necessary conditions for recognition in a Canadian court.




As a "foreign private issuer”, we are exempt from the Section 14 proxy rules and Section 16 reporting rules under the Exchange Act which may result in shareholders having less complete and timely data




The submission of proxy and annual shareholder meeting information (prepared to Canadian standards) on Form 6-K may result in shareholders having less complete and timely data than if we were subject to the SEC’s domestic issuer proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act.  The exemption from Section 16 rules under the Exchange Act that require the reporting of acquisitions and disposition of our equity securities by our officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders also may result in shareholders having less data.




If we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), our shareholders may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.




We have not made a determination as to whether we are considered a PFIC as such term is defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current tax year and any prior tax years.  A non-U.S. corporation generally will be considered a PFIC of any tax year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the




13


quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.




In general, if we are or become a PFIC, any gain recognized on the sale of our common stock and any “excess distributions” (as specifically defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986) paid on the common stock must be ratably allocated to each day in a U.S. taxpayer’s holding period for the securities.  The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to prior years of such U.S. taxpayer’s holding period for the common stock 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.




Litigation





On April 28, 2010 Mr. Lewis Murphy commenced court proceedings against the Company in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in relation to a 2004 Agreement pursuant to which the Company was granted an option to acquire an interest in certain mineral licenses in Newfoundland and Labrador.  As acknowledged by Mr. Murphy in the Statement of Claim, the mineral licenses were transferred to Crosshair.  The Agreement provides that upon the Company completing its earn-in obligations under the Agreement and becoming vested as to its 90% interest therein, the Company will pay Mr. Murphy an annual advance royalty of $200,000 per year until the Commencement of Commercial Production.  Mr. Murphy alleges he was owed a further annual advance royalty payment in the amount of $200,000 in November 2009.  Mr. Murphy is seeking contractual damages in the amount of $200,000, and various declaratory reliefs including, but not limited to, an order that the transfers of any and all mineral licenses from Murphy to the Company made pursuant to the Agreement are null and void and a declaration that the Agreement is terminated.  The Company is defending the court action and has filed a Counterclaim alleging that Mr. Murphy has breached certain representations and warranties contained in the Agreement.  The Company seeks various reliefs including an order of damages and the return of shares.  Mr. Murphy is defending the Counterclaim.




The nature of the Company’s business may subject it to other regulatory investigations, claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings. The results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. There can be no assurances that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.







ITEM 4.
INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY




4.A.           History and Development of the Company




Introduction




Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Crosshair”) was incorporated as a specially limited company pursuant to the Company Act (British Columbia) (replaced by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) effective March 29, 2004) on September 2, 1966 under the name Shasta Mines & Oil Ltd. (Non-Personal Liability).  We converted from a Private Company to a Public Company on February 20, 1967.  On February 4, 1975 we changed our name to International Shasta Resources Ltd. (Non-Personal Liability) and consolidated our share capital on the basis of one new share for five old shares and increased our share capital from 600,000 common shares to 3,000,000 common shares.  On September 14, 1977 we increased our authorized share capital from 3,000,000 common shares to 5,000,000 common shares.  On April 5, 1982, we increased our authorized share capital from 5,000,000 common shares to 10,000,000 common shares by Special Resolution.  On March 5, 1986 we converted from a Specially Limited Company into a Limited Company under the name of International Shasta Resources Ltd. and increased our authorized share capital from 10,000,000 common shares to 30,000,000 common shares.  On May 20, 1994, we changed our name to Consolidated Shasta Resources Inc. and consolidated our share capital on the basis of one new share for ten old shares and increased our authorized share capital from 3,000,000 common shares to 20,000,000 common shares.  On November 23, 1994 we changed our name to Lima Gold Corporation and on September 21, 1999 we changed our name to International Lima Resources Corp. and consolidated our share capital on the basis of one new share for three old shares and increased our




14


authorized share capital from 6,666,667 common shares to 20,000,000 common shares.  On November 5, 2003 we increased our authorized share capital from 20,000,000 common shares to 100,000,000 common shares.  On March 1, 2004 we changed our name to Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp.  On June 1, 2004 we replaced our Memorandum with a Notice of Articles as is required by the Business Corporations Act(British Columbia). On March 11, 2005 we changed our authorized capital to an unlimited number of common shares.




Our executive office is located at:




Suite 1240 - 1140 West Pender Street

The contact person is: Mr. Mark J. Morabito, Executive Chairman.




Our fiscal year ends April 30th.




Our common shares first began trading on the Vancouver Stock Exchange under the name Shasta Mines & Oil Ltd. on March 14, 1969.  Our common shares began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange with the trading symbol “CXX” on March 1, 2004.  On February 10, 2006, we graduated to Tier 1 on the TSX Venture Exchange.  On May 7, 2007, our common shares began trading on the American Stock Exchange (now \NYSE Amex) with the trading symbol “CXZ.”  On May 12, 2008, our common shares began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange with the trading symbol “CXX” and ceased trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.




On March 29, 2004, the Company Act(British Columbia) (the “Company Act”) was replaced by the Business Corporations Act(British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”).  Accordingly, we are now subject to the BCBCA and are no longer governed by the Company Act.  There are a number of differences under the BCBCA, which differences are designed to provide greater flexibility and efficiency for British Columbia companies.




Under the BCBCA, every company incorporated under the Company Act must complete a mandatory transition rollover under the BCBCA to substitute a Notice of Articles for its Memorandum within two years of March 29, 2004.  On June 1, 2004 we replaced our Memorandum with a Notice of Articles as is required by the BCBCA.  The only information contained in the Notice of Articles is the authorized share structure of the company, the name of the company, the address of the registered and records office of the company, and the names and addresses of the directors of the company.  On March 11, 2005, we changed our authorized capital to an unlimited number of common shares.




On March 31, 2009, Crosshair and Target Exploration and Mining Corp. (“Target”) successfully closed a plan of arrangement whereby Crosshair acquired all the outstanding common shares of Target and Target has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Crosshair.  Target shareholders received approximately 14.7 million common shares of Crosshair (1.2 Crosshair shares for each Target common share outstanding) with an estimated market value of approximately $2.6 million. In addition, each outstanding Target warrant and stock option which gives the holder the right to acquire common shares of Target was exchanged for a warrant or stock option which gives the holder the right to acquire common shares of Crosshair on the exchange ratio of 1.2 Crosshair shares for each Target warrant or stock option exercised, with all other terms of such warrants and options (such as term and expiry) remaining unchanged.  As a result of the acquisition of Target, Crosshair acquired an interest in the Bootheel and Sinbad projects in Wyoming and Utah, USA respectively.




Property Acquisitions




Since the beginning of fiscal 2010, we have acquired no additional properties.




15


Property Terminations




Since the beginning of fiscal 2010, we have dropped a total of 684 claims from our 100% owned CMB Project in Labrador, after exploration failed to identify any high priority targets for follow up on those claims.  Upon a review of the existing data, we have also dropped a total of 1,638 claims from the land package acquired from Universal Uranium Ltd. (“Universal”).




We also allowed a total of 188 claims on the South Golden Promise property to lapse after mechanical trenching to investigate a number of soil geochemistry anomalies failed to identify any bedrock mineralization.  A total of 150 claims on the Victoria Lake property have also been allowed to lapse.




The Golden Promise property was reduced by 308 claims, principally in the northeast and south portions of the property which have been prospected and no longer considered favorable.




Also during fiscal 2010, we allowed all 62 mineral claims on the Sinbad property located in Emery County, Utah, to lapse, and the State Lease with the State of Utah was not renewed.




Capital Expenditures




Our capital expenditures, excluding property, plant and equipment, for the last three fiscal years were as follows:

4.B.           Business Overview




Historical Corporate Development




We are a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties (primarily uranium, base and precious metals).  We do not have any producing mineral properties at this time.  Our business is presently focused on the exploration and evaluation of various mineral deposits in North America.




We are currently focusing our exploration activities on the following properties:




Gold




·
South Golden Promise, Victoria Lake and Golden Promise properties located in Newfoundland, Canada.




Uranium




·
Central Mineral Belt properties located in Labrador, Canada.




·
CMB JV Property located in Labrador, Canada.




·
The Bootheel Project LLC located in Wyoming, U.S.A.

Material Effects of Government Regulations





Our current and anticipated future operations, including further exploration activities, require permits from various Canadian Federal and Provincial and U.S. Federal and State of Wyoming governmental authorities.  Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, well safety and other matters.  Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact on us and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in our ceasing operations.  We have had no material costs related to compliance and/or permits in recent years, and anticipate no material costs in the next year.




In April 2008, Labrador’s Nunatsiavut government announced a moratorium on uranium mining for the next three years on Inuit land it governs until March 31, 2011 after which the issue will be revisited.  The moratorium has had a material adverse impact on all uranium exploration and mining companies in Labrador, regardless of whether their properties fall under the Nunatsiavut  jurisdiction.  Even though the majority of our uranium properties do not fall under Nunatsiavut jurisdiction, we have experienced waning shareholder interest and difficulty in raising the capital required for the development of our projects. If the moratorium is lifted on March 31, 2011, we expect shareholder interest and our ability to raise capital to return.




Seasonality




We can only carry out exploration when weather is favorable.  Typically, we cannot carry out any work at a reasonable cost during the months of November and December for winter freeze-up and March and April for spring break-up on our Canadian properties.

 Golden Promise Property and Agreements
 
 Paragon Minerals Corp. (“Paragon”) acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the Golden Promise property subject to an underlying option agreement with William Mercer and Stephen Courtney on a portion of the property surrounding the Jaclyn Zones.  A total of 192 claims (4,800 hectares) comprise the option arrangement with William Mercer with payments totaling $230,000 ($230,000 paid) and 100,000 Paragon common shares, all of which have been issued.  Mr. Mercer’s property includes the Jaclyn deposit and he is entitled to a 2% NSR subject to a $1 million buyback of 50% of the NSR at anytime.  Mr. Mercer also receives $20,000 per year as Advance Royalties deductable from his NSR.  The option arrangement with Mr. Courtney involves 6 claims (150 hectares) with payments totaling $35,000 ($35,000 paid). Mr. Courtney is entitled to a 2% NSR on his property subject to a $1 million buyback of 50% of the NSR at anytime.  There is no known mineralization on his property.  Paragon staked claims in the immediate vicinity of the vendors’ claims.
 
 Under the terms of an option agreement dated May 2, 2006, as amended April 18, 2008, with Paragon, we acquired an option to earn a 60% interest in the Golden Promise Property.  To date, we have issued 60,000 common shares, made cash payments totaling $100,000 and spent $1,334,000 on project expenditures.  To complete the exercise of the option, we were required to issue 20,000 shares by May 1, 2009 and incur project expenditures of at least $1,416,000 by May 1, 2009 and another $1,250,000 by May 1, 2010.
 
  20
  Under the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 4, 2008 between Gemini Metals Corp. (“Gemini”), Crosshair and Paragon, our option agreement described above was terminated and Paragon’s interest in the Golden Promise Property was to be contributed to Gemini in exchange for shares of Gemini.  Under the terms of this agreement, on closing of the proposed transaction, Gemini would hold 100% interest in the Golden Promise Property.  This agreement was terminated pursuant to the terms of Golden Promise Option and Joint Venture Agreement dated as of April 8, 2009 between Crosshair and Paragon as described below.
 
 Crosshair entered into the Golden Promise Option and Joint Venture Agreement dated April 8, 2009 between Crosshair and Paragon, pursuant to which it acquired a 60% interest in the Golden Promise Gold Project in Central Newfoundland, Canada with an option to acquire up to a 70% interest. This agreement terminated the original property option earn-in agreement with Paragon, and Crosshair also abandoned the previously approved Plan of Arrangement with Gemini whereby Crosshair was to transfer its gold and volcanic-hosted massive sulfide projects located in Newfoundland to Gemini in exchange for shares for Gemini.  As a result of the current market conditions, the board of directors of Crosshair determined that it was no longer in the best interest of shareholders to spin-out the Golden Promise, South Golden Promise and Victoria Lake properties into a separate publicly traded company to be known as Gemini.
 
 Pursuant to the Golden Promise Option and Joint Venture Agreement, Crosshair issued 2,655,000 common shares with a market value of approximately $645,000 to Paragon to purchase the 60% interest in Golden Promise.  Crosshair will provide Paragon with a $2.0 million carried interest in initial exploration expenditures to be completed prior to May 2013.  Crosshair can extend the timeframe to complete the initial exploration program by 12 months upon issuing 250,000 common shares to Paragon.
 
 Upon the successful completion of the initial $2.0 million exploration program, Crosshair can elect to earn an additional 10% interest (to 70%) in Golden Promise by providing Paragon with an additional $1.0 million carried interest in additional exploration expenditures within 24 months.   Crosshair can extend the timeframe to complete the additional exploration program by 12 months upon issuing 100,000 common shares to Paragon.  In the event Crosshair does not complete the additional expenditure program within the required timeframe, Crosshair can purchase the remaining 10% interest by paying Paragon the difference between actually incurred exploration expenditures and $1.0 million or revert to the 60% interest.
 
 The Golden Promise Property consists of five map-staked licenses located east, and northeast of Red Indian Lake in west central Newfoundland on National Topographic System (NTS) Map Sheet 12A/16,part of the Grand Falls – Buchans Electoral District.    The claims are crosscut by an all season Highway (Route 370) connecting the towns of Buchans in the southwest to Badger at the Trans Canada Highway in the northeast end of the property.
 
 The five blocks of licenses cover 18,125 hectares in 725 map-staked claims. Each claim is 500 by 500 meters, which is bounded by one corner of the UTM grid square and is one quarter of the square. The claims are grouped into licenses, which are the units of ownership and assessment work requirements.
 
 Accessibility
 
 The property is accessible from Badger on the Trans Canada Highway via Route 370 to Buchans Junction about 43 km to the southwest. The Buchans Highway (Route 370) is the principal access road to the various blocks in the west and southwest portions of the property where most of the exploration activity has been focused.  Access to the eastern and southern portions of the property is gained via logging roads trending south and west of the town of Grand Falls-Windsor, a major industrial hub for central Newfoundland.   The Exploits River, the largest river system on the Island of Newfoundland, crosses the north-western part of the property.  Secondary access to most of the property is provided by logging roads and snowmobile and ATV trails leading from Route 370 as well as the logging roads south and southwest of Grand Falls-Windsor.
 
  21
 
 History and Previous Work
 
 The exploration history of the vast majority of the property dates back only as far as 2002, when a prospector working in an area burned by a major forest fire in 1999 located gold-bearing quartz boulders immediately north of Route 370 approximately 10 kilometers southwest of the town of Badger.  Exploration in the region prior to 2002 traditionally focused on the productive massive sulfide districts located south and west of the current property boundaries.  The mining town of Buchans, located about 30 kilometers west - southwest of the property, produced very rich ores that carried high combined grades of zinc (14.5%), copper (1.4%), lead (7.6%), gold (1.3 grams per  tonne) and silver (126 grams per tonne) for 56 years prior to closing in 1984.
 
 The property was mapped by both the Provincial and Federal Geological Surveys whose efforts included regional scale geological surveys and geochemical surveys including glacial till and lake sediment sampling.
 
 In the spring of 2002, a local prospector, William Mercer, discovered several large boulders of gold bearing float of which a composite sample from 10 boulders returned 30 grams per tonne gold. The property was subsequently optioned by Mr. Mercer to Paragon in July of 2002.
 
 Geological Setting
 
 The property lies within the Dunnage Zone, a major tectonic and stratigraphic succession of Cambrian to Middle Ordovician aged volcanic and sedimentary rocks occupying much of central Newfoundland.  The Dunnage Zone rocks record the opening and closing of a proto-Atlantic Ocean known as Iapetus.  The Dunnage Zone has been subdivided into two subzones, the Notre Dame and the Exploits, which are separated by a major fault system known as the Red Indian Line. The bulk of the Golden Promise property is inferred to be underlain by rocks of the Exploits Subzone, which includes the Badger and Victoria Lake Groups.
 
 Regional Geology and Mineralization
 
 The property is largely underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Badger Group.  The Badger Group conformably overlies Caradocian black shale, which in turn overlies Ordovician volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Victoria Lake Supergroup.  The volcanic sequences of the Victoria Lake Supergroup are among the most prolific hosts to massive sulfide copper/lead/zinc deposits in Canada.
 
 Property Geology and Mineralization
 
 The property is largely underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Badger Group, consisting mainly of arkose, greywacke and shale. The Badger Group rocks overlie the Victoria Lake sequences of volcaniclastic and fine grained sedimentary rocks.  A unit of black shale of Caradocian age, a regional stratigraphic marker, separates the Badger Group from the Victoria Lake Group.  The dominant structural trend is northeasterly.  All rock units have been folded into a series of tight, isoclinal, upright, northeast plunging folds and have been cut by northeasterly faults.  Mafic dykes occupy the faults at several locations.
 
 The mineralization at Golden Promise consists of a series of sub-parallel gold-bearing quartz veins ranging up to 4 meters in true thickness. The veins are milky white, inclusion rich and locally bladed. Gold is hosted by the veins typically occurring within narrow intervals (20-30 cm) close to vein margins.  Fine grained arsenopyrite is the most common accessory mineral with lesser amounts of pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite (< 1%) occurring locally.
 
 At least 5 zones of gold mineralization are known to occur at Golden Promise.  They include the Jaclyn Main, Jaclyn South, Jaclyn North, Christopher and Shawn’s Shot occurrences, of which the most important are the Jaclyn Main, Jaclyn South and Jaclyn North Zones.
 
 An NI 43-101 Technical Report titled Golden Promise, South Golden Promise and Victoria Lake Properties dated April 30, 2008, was completed by authors Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng. MASc. and Larry R. Pilgrim, B.Sc., P.Geo.  Based on the results of 68 drill holes that penetrated the Jaclyn Main Zone, and using a 1 gram per tonne gold
 
  22
  cutoff, Gary H. Giroux calculated an inferred resource of 89,500 ounces of gold in the Jaclyn Main Zone contained within a total of 921,000 tonnes of rock averaging 3.02 grams per tonne gold.  The report was then amended by both authors on September 23, 2008 to include additions to the recommended work programs including a second phase work program on the Golden Promise Property consisting of a bulk sample program, as well as further drilling and metallurgical work.
 
 Exploration and Development
 
 In July of 2002, the property was optioned by local prospectors to Paragon who completed a Phase 1 drilling program to follow up on the discovery of high grade gold-bearing float.  The 21 hole program (1,045 meters) tested the Jaclyn Zone along a 225 meter strike length and to a vertical depth of 50 meters.  Subsequent drilling in late 2003 extended the Jaclyn Zone along strike and to depth, and also tested the newly discovered Jaclyn North and Jaclyn South Zones.
 
 We optioned the Golden Promise property from Paragon on May 1, 2006 and carried out further drilling in June.   This program, completed in February 2007, included 5,488 meters of drilling in 29 holes on the Jaclyn Main, Jaclyn North and Jaclyn South Zones.  From June 2007 through December 2007 a 23 hole 3,926 meter drill program was completed in the Jaclyn area.  The focus of the drilling was the continued evaluation of the Jaclyn Main Zone (19 holes, 3,135 meter), and Jaclyn North Zone (4 holes, 790 meter).
 
 During the current fiscal year the Company completed 7,220 m of drilling in 38 holes.  Twelve (12) holes (641m) were shallow infill holes located in the central part of the deposit designed to provide samples of the vein for metallurgical testing and to test for structural and grade continuity of the vein prior to the planned bulk sampling program.  Three holes (657m) tested the Jaclyn North showing and four holes (572 m) followed up an intercept 400 m west of the North zone.  The remaining 19 holes (5,350m) tested the central part of the deposit and the extension down plunge to the east.  Highlights include:
 
 -
19.9 gpt gold over 1.6m (from 327.27m to 328.87m) including 31.37 gpt gold over 0.58m

(from 327.7m to 327.85m) and 7.72 gpt gold over 0.5m (from 327.85m to 328.35m) and

18.89 gpt gold over 0.52m (from 328.35m to 328.87m) in hole GP10-121.
 
 -
11.1 gpt gold over 0.9m (from 28.0m to 28.9m) including 18.9 gpt gold over 0.4m

(from 28.0m to 28.4m) and 78.1 gpt gold over 0.6m (from 52.9m to 53.5m) including

129.1 gpt gold over 0.3m (from 53.2m to 53.5m) in hole GP10-114.
 
 -
6.1 gpt gold over 2.3m (from 23.6m to 25.9m) including 16.7 gpt gold over 0.8m

(from 25.1m to 25.9m) and 34.2 gpt gold over 0.3m (from 25.1m to 25.4m) in hole GP10-115
 
 Complete assay highlights, as well as a drill hole plan map, long section and core photos can be found on the Crosshair website at: http://www.crosshairexploration.com/s/GoldenPromise.asp.
 
 A composite sample from six previously completed drill holes was submitted to SGS Mineral Services Vancouver, BC (“SGS”) for preliminary metallurgical testing including gravity concentration, flotation and determination of the cyanide leaching characteristics.  Thirty-four (34) samples from the drill holes were composited to provide one sample of 34.4 kilograms with a head grade which assayed 4.5 g/t gold as compared to the weighted average historical assay grade based on the individual samples of 4.18 g/t gold.  Subsequent to the year end the Company announced that the results indicate that the gold in the vein can be effectively recovered using gravity concentration in combination with flotation or leaching, or by direct leaching.  Gravity concentration recovers 85% of the gold at 120 microns and the remaining gold in the gravity tails can be recovered either by flotation after regrinding (96% rougher recovery at 110 microns) or by cyanide leaching (94% recovery in 72 hours at 70 microns).  The gold can
  23
  also be recovered by direct leaching of the whole rock sample at 70 micron grind over a 72 hour period resulting in 98% extraction of the gold.
 
 Drill core samples from the 12 infill holes drilled this year in the central part of the Jaclyn Main Deposit are currently with SGS where additional metallurgical test work will further define the extraction process flow sheet.
 
 The Jaclyn North occurrence, located 250 meters north of the Jaclyn Zone, has been tested by 13 drill holes and has been defined over a 450 meter strike length.  The occurrence has returned values up to 5.24 grams per tonne gold over 1.70 meters.
 
 The Jaclyn South occurrence, located 300 meters southeast of the Jaclyn Zone, comprises two subparallel quartz veins, one of which is up to 3.4 meters thick.  The zone has been tested by four drill holes from which the best result obtained to date is 0.30 meters grading 44.6 grams per tonne gold.
 
 As of January 2007, over $3.7 million in exploration work has been carried out on the property since 2002.  By April 30, 2010, we had spent approximately $5.4 million on exploration of the property.  The aggregate work includes 98 drill holes of which 71 have been drilled on the Jaclyn Main Zone, 10 holes at Jaclyn North , 4 holes at Jaclyn South, 2 holes at Justin’s Hope, 3 holes at Jaclyn East, 4 holes at Jaclyn West, 2 holes at the Christopher Zone and 2 holes at the Shawn’s Shot occurrence.  The drilling followed an extensive soil sampling, prospecting and trenching program, which included excavation of 30 surface trenches, ~6,000 soil samples and ~2,400 rock, float and grab samples, as well as geological and structural mapping surveys.  An 8,250 kilometer high resolution airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was flown in late 2003 to assist in the geological mapping and structural interpretation of the property.  The airborne survey was extremely successful in outlining the trace of the Caradocian shale, a key marker unit closely associated with the mineralization at the Jaclyn Main Zone in particular.
 
 South Golden Promise (and Victoria Lake) Property and Agreements
 
 Paragon acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the South Golden Promise Property pursuant to an underlying option agreement, dated January 8, 2003, with Al Keats, Calvin Keats and Kevin Keats.  The vendors are entitled to a 2.5% Net Smelter Return.  Paragon can repurchase a 1.5% Net Smelter Return for $1,500,000 and has a right of first refusal with respect to the remaining 1.0%.  As of September 2005, Paragon completed its obligations under its option agreement with the vendors and now holds a 100% interest in the South Golden Promise Property subject to the 2.5% Net Smelter Return.
 
 Under the terms of an agreement dated February 14, 2003 with Paragon, we earned a 60% interest in the South Golden Promise Property in consideration for issuing a total of 400,000 common shares and incurring a minimum of $1,750,000 in exploration expenditures.
 
 The South Golden Promise Property agreement includes two separate blocks of licenses, these being the South Golden Promise and the Victoria Lake claim blocks, which collectively cover 5,450 hectares in 218 map-staked claims. Each claim is 500 by 500 meters, which is bounded by one corner of the UTM grid square and is one quarter of the square. The claims are grouped into licenses, which are the units of ownership and assessment work requirements.
 
 Paragon was the contractor for the execution of the exploration programs in the first year for cost plus 8% fee.  Subsequent to the first year, we have operated and carried out the exploration programs on the South Golden Promise property using in-house personnel.
 
 We are responsible for paying for and renewing these licenses.  The fee for license renewals is $25 per claim every five years and failure to pay the fee will result in the loss of the claims.
 
  24
 
 Property Location
 The South Golden Promise and Victoria Lake properties consist of two separate blocks of licenses located east and southwest of Red Indian Lake in west central Newfoundland, in the Grand Falls – Buchans Electoral District.  The South Golden Promise property is underlain by similar geology to that of the Golden Promise property, which is contiguous and immediately northeast of the South Golden Promise claims.  The South Golden Promise agreement also includes the Victoria Lake claims, where exploration has focused on massive sulfide deposits as opposed to gold, which is the focus of exploration at Golden Promise and South Golden Promise.
 
 Accessibility
 
 The South Golden Promise claims are accessible from Badger on the Trans Canada Highway via Route 370 to Buchans Junction about 43 kilometers to the southwest of Badger, and from Grand Falls-Windsor, immediately east of the property. The Millertown – Lake Ambrose logging haulage road west southwest of Buchans Junction is the principal access road to the various claim blocks to the south and southwest.  The Exploits River, the provinces largest river system, crosses the northern portion of the property.  The Victoria Lake claim group, which is the most southwestern of the two claim blocks, is best accessed by the main logging road leading west from the Exploits Dam along the south shore of Red Indian Lake.  Numerous older logging roads, generally in poor shape, crosscut the property and afford locally limited access.
 
 History
 
 The northeastern portion of the property has received the least amount of previous exploration.  In fact, prior to the discovery of gold-bearing boulders at Golden Promise in 2002, most of the northern half of the property had received no previous exploration for gold.
 
 The sedimentary sequences that host the Jaclyn gold mineralization received very little exploration by previous explorers.  The bulk of exploration activity in the region focused on the highly prospective volcanic rocks to the southwest which are known to host numerous copper and zinc prospects in the region.  The volcanic sequences, most common on the south side of the Exploits River and occurring in the south central portion of the South Golden Promise property, received moderate amounts of exploration in the search for base metals (copper, lead and zinc).  Noranda was most active and carried out ground surveys including, line cutting, geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysics.  Several widely spaced drill holes did not intersect any mineralization.  Immediately east of the property Aur Resources (subsequently taken over by Teck/Cominco) commenced commercial production in January 2007 at the Duck Pond deposit and will produce concentrate containing copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver over the projected 10 year life of the mine.
 
 The Victoria Lake claims have received the most intensive exploration of all of the South Golden Promise property.  The claims are considered highly prospective to host significant quantities of massive sulfides rich in copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver.  Noranda carried out numerous exploration programs over the past 25 years including diamond drilling.  Favorably altered volcanic rocks were encountered in several localities and suggest that massive sulfide bodies could exist on the claims.  Work by Paragon in 2002 located potentially significant gold mineralization in the extreme southwestern portion of the claim group.  Results include sulfide-bearing quartz veins that have returned assays of 2.5 and 3.6 grams per tonne gold.  The claims covering this gold showing were abandoned by us in 2009.  No work has been carried out on the Victoria Lake Claims during the current fiscal year.
 
 Property Geology
 
 The South Golden Promise claims are underlain mainly by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Ordovician Victoria Lake Group which are in turn overlain by the Badger Group sedimentary rocks.  The Victoria Lake Group is dominated in the upper sections by fine grained sedimentary sequences, while the lower portions of the Group are dominated by mafic and felsic volcanic rocks with minor interbedded sedimentary rocks.  The Victoria Lake Group and Badger Group rocks are separated by a regionally important marker horizon of Caradocian shale.
 
  25
  The prominent structures on the property are a major syncline - anticline pair as traced by folds in the Caradocian shale. The folds are tight and upright with a gentle plunge to the northeast.  A penetrative foliation is commonly developed sub parallel to bedding.  Glacial striae showing ice movement to the northeast and south-southeast are observed locally.
 
 The Victoria Lake claims are underlain mainly by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Victoria Lake Group.  The felsic volcanic rocks in the area are considered highly prospective for hosting significant massive sulfide deposits and several areas of favorably altered and locally mineralized volcanic rocks are known to occur.  These areas will be the primary target of exploration efforts on that portion of the property.
 
 Exploration and Development
 
 Since acquiring the properties, we have completed several phases of exploration including prospecting, mapping, till and rock sampling as well as excavator trenching on targets defined by the other works.  The Victoria Lake claims also had ground gravity surveying completed to help identify potential massive sulfide targets.  Diamond drilling has been carried out on the gold targets at South Golden Promise and the massive sulfide targets at Victoria Lake.
 
 At South Golden Promise, the work to date has outlined a significant gold-bearing quartz vein system that has been exposed on surface for 170 meters and tested to about 50 meters depth by diamond drilling.  A total of 16 holes were completed at South Golden Promise in 2006 with two holes returning visible gold-bearing quartz veining which assayed a high of 19.5 grams per tonne gold over 1.15 meters.  During 2009, the Gabbro showing, which had previously sampled up to 10 g/t gold from a narrow quartz vein, was trenched without returning significant gold values.
 
 Further work including diamond drilling and trenching of soil geochemical anomalies is recommended for the South Golden Promise gold target.
 
 At Victoria Lake, an 11 hole (2,197 meters) diamond drilling program was completed in 2006.  The program tested several coincidental geological, rock and soil geochemical anomalies as well as geophysical (gravity) anomalies identified by us.  Favorably altered, sulfide-bearing felsic volcanic units were encountered in several of the holes.  The drilling program was managed by Paragon personnel who have extensive experience in the region and who received 8% of the program costs as a management fee.  During 2008, a borehole Pulse EM survey was conducted to test for off-hole conductors that may represent massive sulfides.  Interpretation of the data identified several anomalies suggestive of conductive sources within the vicinity of the diamond drill holes.  Further work including diamond drilling has been recommended.  No work was carried out in the current fiscal year.

  Labrador—Central Mineral Belt
 
 
 
 CMB Property and Agreements
 
 On October 14, 2004, we entered into an agreement with a private individual, local prospector Lewis Murphy, for an option to acquire a 90% interest (subject to a 2% NSR and a 10% carried interest to the vendor) in the Moran Lake Property, comprising 67 claims in Central Labrador. On March 1, 2005 we acquired another 187 claims from Lewis Murphy. The amended and restated Moran Lake option agreement calls for exploration expenditures of $3,000,000 ($9.9 million of exploration work has been carried out as of April 30, 2007), the issuance of 1,600,000 common shares, of which 1,100,000 common shares have been issued, and cash payments of $575,000, of which $300,000 has been paid, with the balance of the shares and cash payable over a five-year term.  The agreement also requires completion of a bankable feasibility study for the commencement of commercial production on the property within 24 months of completion of the aforementioned obligations.
 
 We subsequently carried out a detailed digital compilation of all the historic work that has been carried out on the property.
 
 To date, we have issued 1,600,000 common shares, made cash payments totaling $575,000 and spent more than the required minimum $3,000,000 on project expenditures. On May 21, 2008, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Murphy whereby we received a three year extension on the requirement to complete the bankable feasibility study such that the study will be due on or before November 10, 2013. Additionally, beginning November 10, 2009, the
 
  27
  Company is required to make advance royalty payments in the amount of $200,000 per year until the commencement of commercial production.  A bankable feasibility study is a comprehensive study of the property in which all geological, engineering, legal, operating, economic, social, environmental and other relevant factors are considered in sufficient detail that it could reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a financial institution to finance the development of the property for mineral production.
 
 On December 2, 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire 56 claims from Triassic Properties Limited, a private St. John’s, Newfoundland based company.  The claims cover historic uranium occurrences and are strategically located within the Moran Lake property holdings.  In order for us to earn a 100% interest in the Otter and Portage Lake claims, subject to a 1.5% NSR to the vendor, we must, over the 3 year term, carry out $600,000 in eligible exploration expenses, issue 225,000 common shares and pay an aggregate of $140,000.  Through April 30, 2009, we have spent $777,373 in exploration costs, issued 225,000 common shares and made cash payments of $140,000, thereby earning a 100% interest in these claims.
 
 In May 2007, we entered into an agreement with Belmont Resources Inc. and International Montoro Resources Inc. whereby we acquired the option to earn a 75% interest in 139 additional claims comprising four different mineral licenses in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador totaling 34.75 km.  Three of the licenses, referred to as the Stormy Lake block, are contiguous with the southern boundary of the Central Mineral Belt Project, while the other license, referred to as the Partridge River block, is situated approximately 95 km west of the property.  Under the terms of the agreement, we could have earned a 75% interest in the claims by carrying out $800,000 in exploration expenditures and issuing 175,000 common shares to the vendors over a three year period.  On April 1, 2008, we terminated our option on the Stormy Lake block and the Partridge River block.
 
 Property Description and Location
 
 The Central Mineral Belt Property is located in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador, about 140 km north of the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay and 85 km southwest of the coastal community of Postville on Kaipokok Bay. In a direct line, the property is about 75 km from tidewater to the northeast.  The undeveloped Michelin uranium deposit is 60 km east-northeast of the Moran Lake Property.  The property area is within the Naskaupi Electoral District of Labrador.
 
 Accessibility
 
 Helicopter and fixed wing service out of Goose Bay are the most efficient means of access to the property.  Local infrastructure is confined to the limited facilities of the community of Postville, which has commercial airline service from Goose Bay and commercial ferry service from St John’s, Newfoundland.  Coastal boats are available to convey goods and passengers from Happy Valley to Postville.  Most necessary goods and services, including charter aircraft, can be obtained in Goose Bay, which has excellent commercial airline connections to St John’s, Halifax and Montreal.
 
 This portion of central Labrador has a sub-Arctic climate, with strong seasonal contrasts marked by short cool summers and long cold winters.  Freeze-up typically begins in late October and lasts until early to mid June.  Snow cover is relatively heavy and usually lasts seven to eight months.  Daytime temperatures during the winter typically range from -15o Celsius to -30o Celsius, while daytime summer temperatures typically range from 15o Celsius to 25o Celsius.
 
 The topography of the Moran Lake area consists of rolling highlands with maximum relief approaching 300m.  The hilltops can be partly barren while the slopes and valleys are covered in vegetation, mostly scrubby black spruce and some deciduous trees with a thick intervening growth of alders.  Almost everywhere there is a thick ground cover of moss.  The valleys are steep sided at many locations and are often host to boggy ground with small ponds or lakes.  Moran Lake, one of the largest lakes on the property, occupies a prominent valley which trends east-northeast.

 History
 Uranium was first discovered near Moran Lake by British Newfoundland Exploration Limited (“Brinex”), which conducted prospecting, geological mapping and radiometric surveying in the area from 1956 to 1958. In 1964, Mokta Co. Ltd. (Mokta) acquired a development license for the Moran Lake area and subsequently discovered uranium mineralization at Lady Lake, the site of the present C zone.  In following years, Mokta completed a considerable amount of prospecting, trenching and packsack drilling in the Moran Lake A, B and C zones. In 1969 however, Mokta allowed the development license to expire at which time the license was granted to Brinex, which did no further work on the property.
 
 In 1976, the license was granted to Commodore Mining Company Limited (Commodore) which in turn optioned the property to Shell Canada Resources Limited (Shell).  During September of 1976, Shell performed geological, magnetometer and Track Etch surveys over the B Zone near Henry Lake and did preliminary geological mapping on the C zone.  This led to a 15 hole, 864 meter drill program to test the B Zone uranium mineralization during the winter of 1977.
 
 In the summer of 1977, a full exploration program was carried out on the C Zone including detailed geological mapping, systematic trench sampling, a scintillometer survey and a small drill program totaling eight holes and 497 meters. Uranium mineralization was discovered in a fault zone over which VLF-EM, magnetometer and Track Etch surveys were performed during September.  In the winter of 1978, Shell completed a 17 hole, 1,542 meter drill program to test the uraniferous fault zone and subsequently found high grade uranium mineralization.  The following summer’s exploration program consisted of VLF-EM, magnetometer and altimeter surveys over the entire C Zone, with a 15 hole, 1,581 meter drill program to test the uraniferous zones.  Low grade uranium mineralization was located in altered sandstones above the Aphebian-Helikian unconformity near Lady Lake.  This led to a 1979 winter dril1 program of 17 drill holes totaling 1,193 meters to explore the unconformity and what became later known as Lower C Zone.
 
 In the summer of 1979, Shell undertook a review of its Moran Lake project.  Drill core from the Upper C zone (C-1 to C-35) was re-logged by one person and multiple samples were taken for thin section study and 30 element spectrographic analysis.  This work led to the appreciation that the rocks were extensively altered, that the identification of primary lithologies was in many cases dubious, that the uranium mineralization was associated with alteration and that there was a definable geometry to the alteration package.  The property was considered to have good uranium potential and an 8 hole, 1,400 meter drill program was proposed but never carried out as Shell abandoned its interest in the area due to a decline in uranium prices.
 
 Lewis Murphy acquired the Moran Lake claims in 2003 and optioned the ground to us in October of 2004.  In 2003, an airborne gravity survey of the area located an interpreted 4 milligal to 8 milligal gravity anomaly, elliptical in shape, about 4 km long and centered between the Moran B and C zones. Considering the spatial association of uranium with brecciated, highly silicified, carbonatized and hematized rocks, plus locally significant concentrations of copper, silver and gold mineralization, we invoked the analogy with Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit types, as at the Olympic Dam copper-uranium deposit in Australia.
 
 Since acquiring the Moran Lake property in October 2004, we have embarked on an aggressive program including airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, compilation of previous work including sampling archived drill core from the 1970’s Shell Canada Resources drilling, and commencement of diamond drilling in January of 2006.  A more detailed description of the exploration program is included below under “—Exploration.”
 
 Property Geology
 
 The Moran Lake Property was staked in a configuration to cover as much mineralized Paleoproterozoic stratigraphy as was available encompassing mostly rocks of the Moran Lake Group and the overlying Heggart Lake, Brown Lake and Sylvia Lake Formations of the Bruce River Group, both groups containing known occurrences of uranium, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, F and iron (as pyrite and hematite).
 
  29
  The Moran Lake Group unconformably overlies Archean gneisses and granites of the Nain Province. The basal unit, the Warren Creek Formation was deposited in a low energy, shallow shoreline or shelf environment and consists mainly of black graphitic, grey and green shale and siltstone containing local interbeds of dolostone, chert and black conglomerate with siltstone and shale clasts. The Warren Creek Formation ranges from perhaps 1,200 meter up to 3,000 meter in thickness and is overlain conformably by 100 meter to 300 meter thickness of the Joe Pond Formation, a sequence of light- to dark-green, fine grained, massive and pillowed basalt and mafic tuff with occasional interbeds of variably colored chert or grey dolostone. Rocks of the Moran Lake Group occupy a northeasterly trending belt which underlies the northern portion of the Moran Lake Property.
 
 The Bruce River Group consists of a basal, polymictic conglomerate and sandstone of the Heggart Lake Formation overlain by polymictic conglomerate and tuffaceous sandstone of the Brown Lake Formation.  The uppermost and thickest unit of the Bruce River Group is the Sylvia Lake Formation, a bimodal, potassic calc-alkaline assemblage of predominantly subaerial volcanic rocks which are coeval with the plutons of the Trans Labrador Batholith.  Northerly directed compression during the Grenville orogenic event folded the Bruce River Group into a northeast-trending, open, upright syncline.
 
 Exploration
 
 After acquiring the property in October of 2004, we immediately launched a comprehensive review and compilation of all previous exploration carried out in the area.  The results of the review confirmed that the property had considerable potential to host several types of uranium deposits including uranium-rich iron oxide copper gold deposits (IOCG).
 
 Exploration work on the property by us has included line cutting, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, lake sediment sampling, till geochemical and alpha track surveys, biogeochemical surveys, prospecting, limited hand trenching, mechanical trenching, geological mapping and diamond drilling.  An airborne radiometric and magnetic survey totaling 7,312 line kilometers covering the entire property was carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys in 2005.  A supplemental airborne survey totaling 675 kilometers covering several claims acquired subsequent to the 2005 survey was carried out by Fugro in 2006.  In 2007, a helicopter supported electromagnetic and magnetic (HeliGEOTEM) survey totaling approximately 4,500 line kilometers was carried out over two different blocks on the property.  The ground geophysical surveys include gravity, induced potential (IP), and horizontal loop EM (Max-Min) surveys.  Follow-up of targets identified from interpretation of the various data has resulted in the discovery of several new showings and target areas, some of which have been drill tested as well as others that are being advanced to the drill ready stage.
 
 The CMB Report, an Independent NI 43-101 Technical Report prepared in accordance with the standards of NI 43-101 and the definitions of the CIM Standards, was commissioned in 2008 which included an updated resource estimate for the Upper and Lower C Zones based on drilling up to May 2008, as well as resource estimates for two new zones of uranium mineralization discovered by Crosshair, these being the Trout Pond (Area 1) and Armstrong zones.  The CMB Report reportedtotal indicated resource for the Upper C Zone is 5.19 million pounds of U3O8 (6.92 million tonnes grading 0.034% U3O8). The Upper C Zone also contains additional resources in the inferred category which, when combined with the inferred resources in the Lower C Zone, Trout Pond and Armstrong zones total5.83 million pounds of U3O8 (8.17 million tonnes grading 0.032% U3O8).With the exception of the Lower C Zone, these estimates are reported at a block cut-off of 0.015%U3O8.The cut-off grades are considered appropriate for the location and cost profile that can be expected for open pit mining.  In the case of the Lower C Zone, a cut-off grade of 0.035% U3O8is used for reporting purposes, reflecting higher costs associated with underground mining.
 
 Drilling
 
 We launched our first drill program in February 2006, completing approximately 2,750 meters of drilling in 19 holes at the C Zone.  Further drilling using two drill rigs and totaling over 18,500 meters was carried out during the summer of 2006, followed by an additional 9,400 meters of drilling during the winter of 2007.  The 2007 summer program was our most aggressive program, with over 28,000 meters of drilling using three rigs.  This was followed by over 12,000 meters during the 2008 winter program.  The drilling programs focused on defining uranium
 
  30
  mineralization at the C Zone, which represents the most advanced uranium target on the property, but also tested targets at Area 1, Armstrong, B Zone, Area 51, Moran Heights, Madsen Lake and Croteau Lake.
 
 Our 2006 drill program totaled 21,486 meters and consisted of 137 holes, of which 58 tested the Upper C Zone and 10 tested the Lower C Zone.  The remainder of the holes tested seven other anomalies or showings on the property.  From late January 2007 to late April 2007, we carried out further drilling at the C Zone as well as limited drilling at Area 1 and the Armstrong and Dominion showings.  Total drilling in the winter of 2007 amounted to 9,410 meters in 34 holes.  At the C Zone, our 2007 winter drill program consisted of 8,211 meters in 26 holes.  Fifteen of the holes tested both the Upper and Lower C Zone, 6 holes (1,042 meters) tested the Upper C Zone only, and 5 holes (1,166 meters) tested the Lower C Zone.  The program expanded the C Zone mineralization along strike and to depth.  The program also included the intersection of the thickest and highest grades of uranium reported from the Lower C Zone.
 
 The summer 2007 drill program totaled 28,745 meters in 121 holes.  Eighty-nine of those holes (15,727 meter) were targeting the C Zone, with the goal of upgrading and expanding the existing NI 43-101 resource.  Drilling intercepted the highest and thickest grades to date including 0.202% U3O8 over 22.4 meters as part of a wider zone grading 0.100% U3O8 over 46.3 meters in hole ML-122 and 0.100% U3O8 over 45.7 meters as part of a much wider interval that assayed 0.074% U3O8 over 71.3 meters in ML-87.  A total of 26 holes (2,820 meters) were drilled at Area 1 in the 2007 summer program and 6 holes (784 meters) at Croteau Lake.
 
 Our 2008 winter drill program consisted of 55 holes totaling 12,198 meters.  Drilling was focused at Armstrong, which is believed to anchor the southern end of the same 4.5 kilometer long trend that hosts the C Zone to the north and Area 1 in the middle.  A total of 6,366 meters in 30 holes were drilled in this recently discovered zone, with highlights from ML-AR-26, which returned 0.20% U3O8 over 9.5 meters including 1.10% U3O8 over 1.6 meters.
 
 The summer 2008 drill program consisted of 3,516 meters in 19 holes.  Eleven of the holes (2,035 meters) tested the C Zone, while 6 of the holes (1,276 meters) tested targets at Area 1 and two holes (205 meters) were drilled at Madsen Lake in the central portion of the CMB Property.
 
 With our latest drilling, we have expanded the C Zone to a strike length of 1,500 meters, Area 1 to 600 meters and Armstrong to 300 meters.  All zones of mineralization are open for expansion, both along strike and to depth.
 
 In December 2008, a previously unidentified zone of uranium mineralization, referred to as the “Apollo Zone” was discovered.  During the summer of 2008, follow-up prospecting of several anomalies identified in 2006 revealed significant uranium mineralization over a 500 meter strike length. The Apollo Zone returned grab samples assaying up to 0.50% U3O8 in outcrop and 0.20% U3O8 in local boulders. This new zone appears to lie along strike of the Boiteau Lake Showing (0.79% U3O8) announced by Bayswater Uranium Corp. in November 2008.  The Boiteau Lake Showing lies very close to the Crosshair/Bayswater property boundary and the trend is open along strike for the 7 kilometers between the showing and the Apollo Zone.  The Apollo Zone lies approximately 11 kilometers NE from the C Zone uranium resource and approximately 3 kilometers south of previously discovered Blue Star, where sampling by Crosshair in 2006 returned values of up to 1.37% U3O8 outcrop. To date on the Moran Lake property, we have completed 366 holes totaling over 65,000 meters.  One hundred and ninety-three holes have been drilled at the C Zone, 55 at Area 1, and 32 at Armstrong.  Several other areas have also been drill tested, including the B Zone, Moran Heights, Area 51, Croteau Lake, and Madsen Lake.  All programs have been helicopter supported producing BTW size drill core.
 
 Otter and Portage Lake Properties
 
 On December 2, 2005, we entered into an agreement with a private company for an option to acquire a 100% interest (subject to a 1.5% NSR) in the Otter and Portage Lake properties totaling 56 claims.  The new claims are located in the southern portion of the property, considered by our geological team as being highly prospective for Michelin or “shear zone type” uranium deposits.  Michelin is an advanced uranium project located 60 kilometers east-northeast of the Moran Lake property with inferred reserves of 32 million pounds of U3O8.  The Otter and Portage Lake properties host previously known uranium occurrences discovered in the 1950’s, but which have not been thoroughly explored. Surface sampling has returned up to 2% U3O8 from grab sampling along a four kilometer
 
  31
  strike length of anomalous radioactivity.  Geological mapping, rock sampling, as well as Alpha Track, till sampling and lake sediment surveys were carried out in 2007.
 
 Current Exploration
 
 The Company is currently carrying out a program to target the vanadium component of the resource.  The current resource includes only the vanadium found within the uranium envelope, but the ultimate vanadium resource appears to be much greater.  For example, although hole ML-181 averages 0.184% V2O8 over 155.0 m, less than 20 m was actually used in the resource estimate because the resource focused solely on uranium.  To date, the Company has sampled approximately 2,000 metres of the 4,000 metres of core to be sampled.  Highlights to date include:
 
 -  0.179% V2O8 over 241m (from 30m to 271m) including
 
 0.228% V2O8 over 20m (from 204m to 224m) in hole ML-182, and
 
 -  0.331% V2O8 over 14m (from 114m to 128m) including
 
 0.428% V2O8 over 4m (from 118m to 122m) in hole ML-143.
 
 Sampling of the remaining core will be carried out in the First Quarter of the fiscal year.
 
 CMB-JV Property and Agreement
 
 In July 2008, we acquired a 60% interest in 4,741 claims in the Central Mineral Belt from Universal by paying CDN $500,000 and issuing 10,000,000 common shares and 7,500,000 warrants to Universal.  The claims were part of a property agreement between Universal and Silver Spruce, under which Universal had earned a 60% interest.  The claims are host to the Two Time deposit.
 
 Property Description and Location
 
 The CMB-JV Project comprises 2,759 map-staked claims in several separate claim blocks located roughly 150 kilometers north of the town of Happy Valley – Goose Bay, Labrador.  Approximately half of the claims are contiguous with Crosshair’s 100% owned claims located near Moran Lake, while most of the remaining claims are situated south and southeast of the coastal community of Postville on Kaipokok Bay.
 
 Property Geology
 
 The CMB-JV Project is situated within the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) of Labrador, a geological province comprising six Proterozoic sequences of volcanic, sedimentary and plutonic rocks ranging in age from about 2.0 to 1.3 billion years and include, from oldest to youngest, the Post Hill, Moran Lake, Aillik, Bruce River, Letitia Lake and Seal Lake Groups.  The CMB includes portions of 4 major tectonic provinces, these being the Nain, Makkovik and Grenville provinces, and the Hopedale Block of the Archean Nain Province.  The easternmost claims of the CMB-JV Project lie within the Makkovik Province, while the westernmost claims of the CMB-JV Project generally lie along the boundary between the Nain, Churchill and Grenville Province.
 
 Exploration
 
 Exploration by Silver Spruce and Universal includes an airborne magnetic radiometric survey over all the claims, as well as limited follow-up over most of the claims including geological mapping, prospecting and lake sediment sampling.  Exploration to date has focused on the claim blocks hosting the Two Time deposit, where work has been more extensive and includes line cutting, ground scintillometer surveying, soil, till, lake, and stream sediment sampling, ground radon (RadonEx) surveying, prospecting, trenching, geological mapping, and diamond drilling.
 
  32
  The most significant discovery to date on the CMB-JV claims has been the Two Time deposit, which was discovered as a result of follow-up of a high priority airborne radiometric anomaly.  The Two Time zone is hosted within brecciated and fractured granitic to dioritic intrusive rocks of the Kanairiktok Intrusive Suite characterized by hematite, carbonate, and chlorite alteration.  A number of other showings and prospects have also been discovered on the claim block, including the Firestone Showing, Doucette, HF, J, F, and W occurrences.
 
 Drilling
 
 The only drilling carried out on the CMB-JV Project has been on the ‘CMB-NW (Northwest)’ claim block, which is contiguous with the northern portion of Crosshair’s 100% owned CMB Project.  Diamond drilling carried out to date by Silver Spruce and Universal totals 11,196 meters in 44 holes.  Highlights include 0.118% U3O8 over 28.00 meters in hole CMB-07-06, 0.101% U3O8 over 33.00 meters in hole CMB-07-14, and 0.112% U3O8 over 19.00 meters in hole CMB-07-34.
 
 Based on the drilling results, an NI 43-101 compliant indicated resource of 2.33 million pounds of U3O8 (1.82 million tonnes grading 0.058% U3O8) and additional inferred resource of 3.73 million pounds of U3O8 (3.16 million tonnes grading 0.053% U3O8) was estimated for the Two Time zone using a cut-off grade of 0.03% U3O8.  The resource estimate is disclosed in the CMB JV Report which was prepared in accordance with the standards of NI 43-101 and the definitions of the CIM Standards and has been filed on Sedar.  The Two Time zone remains open to depth and along strike to the south.
 
 Very limited work has been carried out on areas outside the Two Time Zone and Crosshair is carrying out the minimum amount of work required to properly evaluate the potential of these areas and maintain only the most prospective land.  Crosshair spent approximately $80,000 during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2010, (net of recoveries from our joint venture partner and the Newfoundland JEA Program) in order to evaluate the CMB JV Project.  The field program included helicopter reconnaissance and prospecting to evaluate those claims which had not previously been worked on the ground to evaluate existing airborne radioactive anomalies and lake sediment anomalies.  The 2009 summer program resulted in the discovery of four new uranium targets as well as confirming the presence of historic high-grade mineralized float on the CMB East property which returned a high of 2.19 percent U3O8.
 
 The Two Time Zone is in good standing until 2017, but the Company has bonded a total of $55,439 to maintain some of the other mineral properties in good standing beyond August, 2010.

  Wyoming –  Bootheel and Buck Point Properties
 
 
 
 
 
 On March 31, 2009, we acquired the Bootheel and Buck Point Properties in Wyoming, USA through the acquisition via Plan of Arrangement of Target.
 
 On June 7, 2007, Target, now a wholly owned Crosshair subsidiary, entered into an agreement to form the Bootheel Project, LLC with URE whereby Target may acquire a 75% participating interest in two uranium properties, the Bootheel and Buck Point properties located in the Shirley Basin, Albany County, Wyoming (the “Bootheel Project”) by completing expenditures totalling US $3 million and issuing 125,000 common shares on or before June 7, 2011. Target has earned its 75% interest in the property as all shares have been issued and US $3.1 million has been spent as of April 30, 2010.
 
 Under Agreements dated February 5, 2008 between M J Ranches, and 448018 as manager, the Bootheel Project LLC leased MJ Ranches’ 75% ownership of the minerals located under four sections and the surface access rights to six sections adjacent to portions of the ground controlled by The Bootheel Project LLC.  The initial term of the agreement is for five years with provision for two renewals.  Payment for the initial five year term is $252,651 paid in advance, increased for inflation for the renewal periods.  The Fee Lands are subject to a sliding scale Royalty tied to the sales price of uranium.
 
 An additional five fractional claims were staked in December 2009, and The Bootheel Project LLC now comprises a 100% mineral interest in 274 Federal Unpatented Mining Claims, two state leases and a 75% mineral interest in four fee sections for a total of 8,524 gross acres and surface access rights to 7,882 acres.
 
  34
  The following information on the Bootheel Project is summarized from the Bootheel Report, an Independent Technical Report compliant with NI 43-101.
 
 Property Location
 
 The Bootheel and Buck Point properties are located on the southeast edge of the Shirley Basin approximately 60 miles southeast of Casper, Wyoming.
 
 Accessibility
 
 The Shirley Basin properties are readily accessible year round by an extensive system of State and County gravel roads and dirt ranching roads, which extend from highways #30, #287 and #487 south and east of the town of Medicine Bow.  The Fetterman Road, an all season County maintained gravel road transects the Bootheel property.
 
 History
 
 Uranium was discovered in the Shirley Basin in 1955 by Teton Exploration Drilling Co., who found ore-grade material by drilling west of the Little Medicine Bow River in the western part of the Shirley Basin, 30 mi south of Casper.  In the summer of 1957, several thousand claims were staked over 150 square mi.  By the end of 1959, over 1,000,000 ft of drilling had been completed through the mineralized Wind River Formation, and into underlying pre-Tertiary rocks.  In 1959, Utah Mining Corp. later Utah Construction and Mining Co. (Utah) sank a shaft on their property and the first uranium was produced in March 1960, with ore shipped to the Lucky Mc mill in the Gas Hills area west of Casper.  Late in 1964, the company stopped underground mining and commenced an in-situ leach operation using sulphuric acid and ion exchange for recovery.  Production amounted to approximately 200,000 pounds of U3O8 per year through 1970 (Pool 2000).  In 1970, the ISR operation was replaced by a conventional mine and mill.
 
 In July 1960, Petrotomics Co. (Petrotomics) commenced an open-pit operation in the same area and in 1962 a solvent extraction facility was built on the property.  A second pit commenced operation in 1966.  By late 1969, there were three operating mines in the Shirley Basin, those of Petrotomics and Utah, as well as Kerr McGee Corp. (Kerr-McGee) (Figure 4-1).
 
 Total production from the Basin amounted to about 34 million lbs of uranium. The last mine closed in 1992 and most of the pits have been reclaimed.  Cogema Mining Inc. retains one pit, which is used for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste from the ISR operations in the Powder River Basin.
 
 The Bootheel property was originally staked in 1958 by Kerr McGee Corp. Kerr McGee drilling (283 holes) discovered both shallow oxidized and deeper uranium mineralization in sandstones but dropped the property in 1962.  The company re-acquired the property in 1968, and again abandoned it.  Rocky Mountain Energy Corporation (Union Pacific Railroad) also conducted limited drilling in the early 1970s.  In 1977, Cherokee Exploration Inc. (Cherokee) obtained a land package, as well as the Kerr McGee database and formed an exploration and drilling participation agreement with Uranium Resources and Development Company (URADCO), a subsidiary of Pennsylvania Power and Light.  Drilling from 1978 to 1980 partly delineated both shallow and deep sandstone mineralization.  Drilling by Kerr McGee Corporation, Cherokee Exploration Inc. (“Cherokee”), URADCO and others intersected significant uranium mineralization in sandstones at depths ranging from 150 to 600 feet. Grades and thickness range from 2 feet at 0.12% U3O8 to 22.5 feet at 0.071% U3O8.
 
 Dames & Moore estimated a historical resource included in a report dated 1980, for parts of the property.  Nuclear Assurance Corporation (NAC) completed a study in 1982 reporting the reserves and resources shown in Table 6-1.  As was industry standard for reporting in the 1980s, tonnages are not provided in the reports.  Reserves are reported using a minimum grade of 0.02% eU3O8 and a GT of 0.12 ft%.

 These resources are historical in nature and were compiled before the implementation of NI 43-101 reporting standards.  Readers are cautioned that recent independent verification of the data has not been performed and we have not completed sufficient exploration to verify the historical resource and reserve estimates.  The categories of mineralization used are not those prescribed by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and stipulated in NI 43-101 but with the exception of the Geological Resources they would correspond to indicated or inferred resources under those guidelines.  We are not treating the historical estimates as NI 43-101 defined resources or reserves verified by a qualified person and the historical estimates should not be relied upon.
 
 In 1995, Cherokee sold the project and database to Cameco Corp. (“Cameco”) who carried out limited drilling and evaluation of the in-situ recovery potential. Although the results were very favorable, Cameco abandoned the property in 1998 due to the low uranium price ($10 per pound). Total drilling on the property is estimated to be over 600,000 feet. The known uranium zone on the property remains open for expansion.
 
 The Bootheel Project LLC acquired a database from Power Resources Inc. that includes reports, gamma logs, drill logs and other data which primarily cover the Federal mining claims but also include some historic data from the surrounding fee land.
 
 On January 15, 2009 the Bootheel Project LLC acquired additional data from Cameco Resources which covers the four fee sections under lease from MJ Ranches.  The data includes historical geological and gamma logs covering 660 drill holes totalling approximately 290,000 feet.  Compilation to date indicates that there have been approximately 1,900 drill holes totalling in excess of 600,000 ft, completed on the property and the surrounding area.
 
 The Buck Point property was drilled in 1979 and 1980 by Cherokee and Mobil Oil Corp.   Mineralization has been found in at least six sandstone units over a 250 ft. interval, with grades up to 0.10% U3O8.  No further work has been carried out on the property since then.
 
 Property Geology
 
 The Bootheel project is located at the south-eastern margin of the Shirley Basin, along the western flank of the Laramie Mountains.  Tertiary sediments occupy the entire surface area of the property and unconformably overlie a gently dipping, relatively undisturbed sequence of Paleozoic and Mesozoic sediments.  A moderate degree of block faulting and some gentle folding are the main structural features and mostly affect pre-Tertiary rocks.
 
 Uranium mineralization occurs within seven different sandstone beds within the gently dipping Jurassic and Cretaceous stratigraphy and within the overlying Tertiary Wind River Formation.  Five horizons host significant mineralization and have the potential to host economic resources: 1) Jurassic Sundance Formation containing the Canyon Springs B and D Beds, 2) Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone, 3) Cretaceous Rusty Beds Sandstone, 4) Cretaceous Muddy Sandstone and 5) Tertiary Wind River Formation.  Three other Cretaceous horizons (Lakota Sandstone, Fuson Shale and Wall Sandstone) contain scattered weak mineralization, but are not considered exploration targets at this time.
 
 Two major zones of mineralization are recognized within the Sundance Formation.  The main zone in Sections 36 and 1 stretches for over 7,000 ft in length and reaches widths of up to 400 ft and is described as a series of tabular
  36
  zones.  In Sections 6 and 7 the mineralization shows the characteristic roll front shape with the main northeast –trending nose extending approximately 1,900 ft in length.  These zones vary from 2 to 60 ft in thickness, averaging from 0.017% to 0.216% eU3O8 occurring at depths of 158 to 585 ft.  Length of the individual bodies ranges from 300 to 1,300 ft.
 
 Three Cretaceous sandstone units host uranium mineralization.  The Dakota Sandstone ranges from 4 to 47 ft thick and contains abundant pyrite and carbonaceous material.  Uranium mineralization ranging from 2 to 14 ft thick, grades from 0.026% to 0.23% eU3O8 and occurs from 163 to 325 ft below the surface.  The main zone is about 300 ft wide and 1,000 ft long.  The Rusty Beds range from 5 to 87 ft thick, and contain abundant pyrite and carbonaceous debris.  Mineralization is 2 to 18 ft thick, grades from 0.020% to 0.11% eU3O8 and occurs from 232 to 297 ft below the surface.  Mineralization occurs in three small zones, 300 to 400 ft in size.  The Muddy Sandstone is 18 to 45 ft thick and is the least well mineralized of the Cretaceous units, with only one zone, about 200 ft by 400 ft in dimension, drilled to date.  This zone ranges from 2 to 6 ft thick, grades from 0.145% to 0.157% eU3O8 and is relatively shallow at 138 to 149 ft below the surface.
 
 Tertiary Wind River Formation mineralization is typically thin, high grade, meandering and somewhat laterally discontinuous.  The Wind River ranges from 25 to 270 ft thick, averaging 150 ft.  The mineralized zones are typically 2 to 24 ft thick, averaging 5 ft, from 0.016% to 0.520% eU3O8 and occur from 50 to 215 ft below the surface.  The two main zones are up to 700 ft in width and 1,670 ft in length.
 
 Exploration and Development
 
 The 2008 drilling program, designed to further test the mineralized Sundance Formation, consisted of 93 vertical holes averaging 540 feet in depth and totaling 50,163 ft.  Of these holes, 12 were spot cored through the Sundance Formation resulting in 708.5 ft of core.  Drilling commenced in June and was completed September 20, 2008.  Virtually all historic drill hole sites within the main resource zone were resurveyed.
 
 In addition to the drilling program, the historic holes were relocated, limited ground radiometric and water sampling surveys were carried out.   On February 5, 2009 Target reported that preliminary bottle roll tests had confirmed historical metallurgical test work indicating uranium recoveries of 87% or better using sodium bicarbonate as a lixiviant.
 
 The final historic drill data set acquired from Cameco in January 2009 was compiled by our geological team and  combined with the results from over 50,000 feet of drilling completed by Target at Bootheel in 2008.  This compilation allowed us to complete an independent NI 43-101 resource estimate for the Bootheel Project as referenced in the Technical Report dated September 8, 2009 and filed on Sedar.  The estimate includes an indicated resource of 1.09 million pounds of uranium oxide (1.44 million tons at 0.038% eU3O8) and an additional inferred resource of 3.25 million pounds of uranium oxide (4.40 million tons at 0.037% eU3O8).  The resource remains open for expansion with less than 60% of the historical resource area included in this initial estimate.
 
 In 2009 base line permitting was initiated with the completion of sage grouse and raptor surveys.
 
 Utah
 
 On March 31, 2009, Crosshair acquired the Sinbad Property in Utah, USA through the acquisition of Target via plan of arrangement.  The Sinbad property is located in Emery County Utah, 20 miles southwest of Green River and less than one mile south of Interstate 70.  The property is comprised of 62 mineral claims (approximately 1,280 acres) and an adjoining 604 acres pursuant to a State Lease with the State of Utah.
 
 During fiscal 2010, Crosshair allowed all 62 mineral claims on the Sinbad property located in Emery County Utah, to lapse, and the State Lease with the State of Utah was not renewed.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
 The following discussion for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008 should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the referenced periods and the notes thereto, and in particular Note 17 related to Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,included in this Annual Report.  Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and reconciled to US GAAP.  We are a Canadian company and therefore our financial statements have been prepared in Canadian dollars.

 Recent Canadian Accounting Pronouncements
 
 Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Section 3064)
 
 In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new standards provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. Concurrent with the adoption of this standard, EIC 27, “Revenue and Expenditures in the Pre-operating Period”, was withdrawn. The the adoption of this section did not have a significant effect on its financial statements.  This section was adopted effective May 1, 2009 with no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 Business Combinations (Section 1582)
 
 In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582 “Business Combinations” to replace Section 1581. Prospective application of the standard will be effective May 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This new standard effectively harmonizes the business combinations standard under Canadian GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. The new standard revises guidance on the determination of the carrying amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill and accounting for non-controlling interests at the time of a business combination. The Company does not expect the adoption of this section to have a significant effect on its financial statements.
 
 Consolidated Financial Statements (Section 1601) and Non-Controlling Interests (Section 1602)
 
 The CICA concurrently issued Section 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602 “Non-Controlling Interests” which replace Section 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements.” Section 1601 provides revised guidance on the preparation of consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 addresses accounting for
 
  38
  non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. Theses standards are effective May 1, 2011, unless they are early adopted at the same time as Section 1582 “Business Combinations.” The Company does not expect the adoption of this section to have a significant effect on its financial statements.
 
 International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
 
 In February 2008 the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") announced that publicly-listed companies are to adopt IFRS, replacing Canadian GAAP, for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly, the Company will commence reporting under IFRS for its fiscal year commencing May 1, 2011, and will present its first IFRS-based financial statements for its interim fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2011. These statements will require comparative amounts determined under IFRS for the prior fiscal year period, which in turn will require the restatement to conform with IFRS of the Company’s balance sheets at both April 30, 2010 and 2011.
 
 The Company has commenced the diagnostic phase of planning for the implementation of IFRS. It has determined that the principal areas of impact will be IFRS 1 – first time adoption; presentation of financial statements; property, plant and equipment; asset retirement obligations; impairment of assets; and share-based payments. The Company expects its detailed analysis of relevant IFRS requirements and of IFRS 1 will be complete by the end of its second fiscal quarter October 30, 2010, along with its determination of changes to accounting policies and choices to be made. The Company has not yet reached the stage where a quantified impact of conversion on its financial statements can be measured. The Company expects to complete its quantification of financial statement impacts by the end of its third fiscal quarter January 31, 2011.
 
 US GAAP Reconciliation
 
 Under Canadian GAAP, it is acceptable to defer mineral property acquisition and exploration costs until a decision to abandon the property is made, it is determined that the property does not have economically recoverable reserves or that a company is unlikely to pursue exploration activities on the property.  Under U.S. GAAP, mineral exploration costs are expensed until it can be proven that economically viable reserves are present on the property and a company has the ability and intention to pursue exploitation of these reserves.
 
 Under Canadian GAAP, cash flows relating to mineral property exploration costs are reported as investing activities. For U.S. GAAP, these costs would be characterized as operating activities.
 
 Under Canadian GAAP, future income taxes are calculated based on enacted or substantially enacted tax rates applicable to future years.  Under U.S. GAAP, only enacted rates are used in the calculation of future income taxes. This GAAP difference did not result in a difference in our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
 
 We have adopted the fair value based approach to share-based compensation under the provisions of CICA 3870 and SFAS No. 148.  The method of adoption applied by us is permissible under both Canadian and US standards.

Operating Results
 
 Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009
 
 For fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 the Company reported a net loss of $2,321,078 or $0.02 per common share, compared with a net loss of $20,724,237 or $0.22 per common share for the prior fiscal year.  The weighted average number of common shares for fiscal 2010 increased to 118,114,045 from 93,584,687 for the previous year.  The increase in the average number of shares outstanding was primarily due to share issuances related to the following:
 
 ·
Exercise of stock options (25,000 common shares) in the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2010
 ·
Various financings (12,100,000 common shares) completed in the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2010
  39
  ·
Settlement of vendor debt  (350,000 common shares) in the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2010
 ·
Financing  (6,818,180 common shares) competed in the 4th quarter of fiscal 2010
 
 Expenses
 
 Expenses for the current year were $3,087,573, $3,827,330 (55%)  lower than in fiscal 2009 due primarily to significantly lower stock-based compensation expense and a reduction in overall expenses as a result of decreased Company activity in fiscal 2010.
 
 Stock-based compensation expense for 2010 was $2,262,948 (68%) lower than in 2009 due largely to certain stock options being cancelled as a result of significantly fewer staff related to corporate downsizing and fewer stock options vesting in the current period partially offset by new incentive stock options being granted to employees and management as a means to retain core staff during the downturn in the industry.
 
 Wages and salaries decreased in 2010 by $709,320 (52%) from 2009 due primarily to on-going expenditure reductions partially offset by a reduction in support for exploration related activities and a lower staff compliment.
 
 Audit and accounting expenditures decreased by $38,988 (23%) when compared to fiscal 2009.
 
 Investor relations expenditures decreased by $93,735 (56%) from fiscal 2009 due to reducing investor and public relations activities.
 
 Legal expenditures increased by $64,689 (29%) over fiscal 2009 as a result of fees directly associated with the litigation with Universal
 
 Office and administrative expenses decreased by $148,410 (45 %) due to the overall reduction in office activities and reduction in staff.
 
 Other Income (Expenses)
 
 Other expenses decreased in fiscal 2010 by $15,058,379 to $52,255 compared with $15,110,634 in 2009.  The Company’s Sinbad project was written off during the year as a result $229,796 was recorded for this write-off. Additionally, the company’s interest income was $126,303 lower than the prior year due to the lower average cash balances and the Company realized a gain on Marketable securities of $66,667 compared to last year’s loss of $1,290,195.  Crosshair has accounted for its investment in marketable securities as “Held for Trading” in accordance with CICA Standard 3855 on Financial Instruments. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net income.
 
 Future Income Tax Recovery
 
 The company recognized a recovery of future income tax of $818,750 related to the renouncing in the current fiscal year certain deductions for Canadian exploration expenditures incurred on the Company’s resource properties from the prior year’s flow through securities offering to shareholders.  During the year ended April 30, 2010, the Company issued 13,918,180 common shares on a flow-through basis for gross proceeds of $3,275,000 which were renounced in fiscal 2010.  The flow-through agreement requires the Company to renounce certain deductions for Canadian exploration expenditures incurred on the Company’s resource properties.
 
 Mineral Property Expenditures
 
 During the current fiscal year, the Company incurred total mineral property exploration expenditures of $1,401,040 due primarily to the exploration and drilling activities on the CMB Moran Lake property totaling $273,810; CMB-JV totals $80,062 (net of recoveries); Bootheel totaling $222,867; and Golden Promise totaling $824,301.

  Working Capital
 
 Working capital was $3,403,009 as at April 30, 2010 compared with $2,641,169 as at April 30, 2009, up by $761,840. The increase was mainly due to cash provided by financing activities of $3,817,314, which was then partially offset by operating and investing activities of the Company during fiscal 2010.
 
 Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 compared to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008
 
 For fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 the Company reported a net loss of $20,724,237 or $0.22 per common share, compared with a net loss of $12,933,204 or $0.18 per common share for the prior fiscal year.   The weighted average number of common shares for fiscal 2009 increased to 93,584,687 from 72,997,081 for the previous year.  The increase in the average number of shares outstanding was primarily due to share issuances related to the following property acquisitions:
 
 ·
CMB JV (10,000,000 shares) from Universal in the 1st quarter of fiscal 2009
 ·
Target (holder of an interest in the Bootheel Project) (14,633,488 shares) in the 4th quarter of fiscal 2009
 ·
Golden Promise from Paragon (2,655,000 shares) in the 4th quarter of 2009
 
 Additionally, the 11,575,000 shares issued in regards to the bought deal financing that was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were outstanding for all of fiscal 2009.
 
 Fiscal 2009 includes the operations and activities of Target for the month of April 2009 as a result of the closing of the plan of arrangement on March 31, 2009.  The financial impact of the single month is not considered material to the following discussion.
 
 Expenses
 
 Expenses for the 2009 fiscal year were $6,914,903, $4,137,065 (37%)  lower than in fiscal 2008 due primarily to significantly lower stock-based compensation expense and a reduction in overall expenses as a result of the cash conservation program implemented late in the second quarter of 2009.  Cash expenses were $3,281,699, $518,681 (14%) lower than fiscal 2008.
 
 Stock-based compensation expense for 2009 was $3,785,316 (53%) lower than in 2008 due largely to certain stock options being cancelled as a result of significantly fewer staff related to corporate downsizing and fewer stock options vesting in the current period partially offset by new incentive stock options being granted to employees and management as a means to retain core staff during the downturn in the industry.
 
 Wages and salaries increased slightly in 2009 by $59,118 (5%) from 2008 due primarily to severances paid out for employees terminated in the corporate cash conservation and expenditure reduction programs partially offset by a reduction in support for exploration related activities and a lower staff compliment.
 
 Audit and accounting expenditures increased by $68,542 (67%) over fiscal 2008 primarily as a result of the audit requirements related to compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley 404 legislation.
 
 Investor relations expenditures decreased by $285,418 (63%) from fiscal 2008 due to the implementation of the cash conservation program significantly reducing investor and public relations activities.
 
 Legal expenditures increased by $97,003 (76%) over fiscal 2008 as a result of fees being expensed that were previously deferred due to the termination of the proposed Gemini spin-out transaction and additional fees associated with compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley 404 legislation.
 
 Office and administrative expenses decreased by $291,378 (47%) due to the implementation of the cash conservation program and the reduction in the number of employees.
 
  41
  Other Income (Expenses)
 
 Other expenses increased in fiscal 2009 by $13,229,398 to $15,110,634 compared with $1,881,236 in 2008 primarily as a result of the $14,000,000 non-cash impairment charge on the company’s uranium interests in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador.  The company has determined that reasonable evidence existed that indicated the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value and that the decline in fair value was more than temporary.   Additionally, the company’s interest income was $232,306 lower than the prior year due to the lower average cash balances and the loss on Marketable securities decreased by $786,917 from 2008 to $1,290,195 due to the significantly reduced carrying value on the company’s consolidated balance sheets.  Crosshair has accounted for its investment in marketable securities as “Held for Trading” in accordance with CICA Standard 3855 on Financial Instruments. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net income.
 
 Future Income Tax Recovery
 
 The company recognized a recovery of future income tax of $1,301,300 related to the renouncing in the 2009 fiscal year certain deductions for Canadian exploration expenditures incurred on the Company’s resource properties from the prior year’s flow through securities offering to shareholders.  During the year ended April 30, 2008, the Company issued 3,575,000 common shares on a flow-through basis for gross proceeds of $5,005,000 which were renounced in fiscal 2009.  The flow-through agreement requires the Company to renounce certain deductions for Canadian exploration expenditures incurred on the Company’s resource properties.
 
 Mineral Property Expenditures
 
 During the 2009 fiscal year, the Company incurred total mineral property expenditures of $16,264,847 due primarily to the acquisition of CMB JV in Labrador ($7,132,327), the acquisition of Target ($3,829,933), the acquisition of Golden Promise in Newfoundland ($746,122) and exploration and drilling activity on the CMB Moran Lake property totaling $4,349,403.  Mineral property expenditures incurred in the prior year were $12,784,242 primarily related to the drilling, geological and geophysical activities associated with Moran Lake ($11,928,313) and Golden Promise/South Golden Promise property ($855,929).
 
 Working Capital
 
 Working capital was $2,641,169 as at April 30, 2009 compared with $13,272,006 as at April 30, 2008, down $10,630,837. The decrease was mainly due to cash used in operations ($3,414,510) and mineral property investing activities ($6,053,579)   Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $353,529 which was partially offset by a reduction to accounts receivable of $426,812.
 
 5.B.           Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 Liquidity – April 30, 2010, April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008
 
 As of April 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,427,511 (April 30, 2009 - $2,827,274) and working capital of $3,403,009 (April 30, 2009 - $2,641,169).  Cash used in operating activities during 2010 was $2,259,495 compared with $3,414,510 in 2009. Cash utilized in investing activities decreased by $5,095,996 to $957,583 primarily as a result of reduction of cash expenditures associated with exploration activities.  Cash from financing activities increased to $3,817,315 when compared to 2009.  The increase was the result of financings completed during the year and the exercise of stock option.
 
 Capital Resources
 
 The Company believes it has sufficient working capital to finance its intended operations, and maintain its priority mineral property licenses for the next 12 months.  To date, the Company’s operations, exploration and development activities have been almost entirely financed from equity financings.  The Company will continue to identify financing opportunities in order to provide additional financial flexibility and to continue the development of its
 
  42
  property portfolio, meet land claim expenditure requirements and other commitments.  While the Company has been successful raising the necessary funds in the past, there can be no assurance it can do so in the future.
 
 5.C.           Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.
 
 We are a mineral exploration company and do not engage in conventional research and development.  We have not incurred research and development expenses or adopted research on development policies within the last three fiscal years.
 
 5.D.           Trend Information
 
 We are a mineral exploration company.  Consequently, we have no production, sales, or inventory in the conventional sense.  Our financial success will be dependent upon the extent to which we can discover mineralization and the economic viability of developing such properties.  Such development, if initiated, may take years to complete and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty.  We have no mineral reserves and to date have not produced any revenues.  The sales value of any mineralization discovered by us is largely dependent upon factors beyond our control such as the market value of the metals produced.
 
 Other than as disclosed herein, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events which are reasonably likely to have a material effect upon our net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
 
 The major factors that caused significant variations in net loss were the recording of share-based compensation when stock options were granted and the write-down of properties based on a periodic review of such properties, both of which have no identifiable trend.

The following disclosure is required pursuant to National Instrument 52-110 (“NI 52-110”) adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators.
 
 The Audit Committee's Charter
 
 Following is a copy of the charter of our audit committee:
 
 Purpose
 
 The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is a committee of and appointed by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (the “Corporation”) to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to financial accounting and reporting process and internal controls for the Corporation. The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:
 
 ·
conduct such reviews and discussions with management and the external auditors relating to the audit and financial reporting as are deemed appropriate by the Committee;
 ·
assess the integrity of internal controls and financial reporting procedures of the Corporation and ensure implementation of such controls and procedures;
 ·
ensure that there is an appropriate standard of corporate conduct including, if necessary, adopting a corporate code of ethics for senior financial personnel;
 ·
review the quarterly and annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of the Corporation’s financial position and operating results and report thereon to the Board for approval of same;
 ·
select and monitor the independence and performance of the Corporation’s external auditors, including attending at private meetings with the external auditors and reviewing and approving all renewals or dismissals of the external auditors and their remuneration;
 ·
establish procedures for the receipt of complaints and submissions relating to accounting matters;
 ·
except as set forth below, pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the Corporation’s external auditors; and
 ·
provide oversight to related party transactions entered into by the Corporation.
 
 The Committee has the authority to conduct or authorize any investigation appropriate to its responsibilities, and it may request the external auditors, as well as any officer of the Corporation, or outside counsel for the Corporation, to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or advisors to, the Committee to provide pertinent information as necessary.  The Committee shall have unrestricted access to the books and records of the Corporation and has the authority to retain, at the expense of the Corporation, special legal, accounting, or other consultants or experts to assist in the performance of the Committee’s duties.
 
 The Committee shall review and assess the adequacy of this Charter annually and submit any proposed
 
  49
 
 revisions to the Board for approval.
 
 In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Committee will carry out the specific duties set out in Part IV of this Charter.
 
 Authority of the Audit Committee
 
 The Committee shall have the authority to:
 
 (a)           engage independent counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary to carry out its duties;

MI 52-110 currently provides that a member is independent if the member has no direct or independent material relationship with the Corporation.  A “material” relationship is one which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a member’s judgment. There are certain relationships that are, however, deemed to be “material” under MI 52-110.  In assessing a proposed nominee to the Committee, the Board shall refer to MI 52-110 and any other requirements or guidelines under applicable securities laws and any stock exchanges on which the Corporation’s securities are listed.
 
 4.

If at the adjourned meeting a quorum as hereinbefore specified is not present within one hour of the time appointed for such adjourned meeting, such meeting shall stand adjourned to the same hour on the second business day following the date of such meeting at the same place. If at the second adjourned meeting a quorum as hereinbefore specified is not present, the quorum for the adjourned meeting shall consist of the members then present.
 
 6.
If and whenever a vacancy shall exist, the remaining members of the Committee may exercise all of its powers and responsibilities so long as a quorum remains in office.
 
 7.
The time and place at which meetings of the Committee shall be held, and procedures at such meetings, shall be determined from time to time by, the Committee. A meeting of the Committee may be called by letter, telephone, facsimile, email or other communication equipment, by giving at least 48 hours notice, provided that no notice of a meeting shall be necessary if all of the members are present either in person or by means of conference telephone or if those absent have waived notice or otherwise signified their consent to the holding of such meeting.
 
  50
  8.
Any member of the Committee may participate in the meeting of the Committee by means of conference telephone or other communication equipment, and the member participating in a meeting pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed, for purposes hereof, to be present in person at the meeting.
 
 9.
The Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings which shall be submitted to the Board. The Committee may, from time to time, appoint any person who need not be a member, to act as a secretary at any meeting.
 
 10.
The Committee may invite such officers, directors and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as the Committee may see fit, from time to time, to attend at meetings of the Committee.
 
 11.
Any matters to be determined by the Committee shall be decided by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of the Committee called for such purpose. Actions of the Committee may be taken by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by all of the members of the Committee, and such actions shall be effective as though they had been decided by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of the Committee called for such purpose. All decisions or recommendations of the Committee shall require the approval of the Board prior to implementation.
 
 The Committee members will be elected annually at the first meeting of the Board following the annual general meeting of shareholders.

 8.
The Committee shall review, in consultation with the external auditors, the integrity of the Corporation’s financial reporting processes, both internal and external.
 
 9.
The Committee shall consider the external auditors’ judgments about the quality and appropriateness, not just the acceptability, of the Corporation’s accounting principles and financial disclosure practices, as applied in its financial reporting, particularly about the degree of aggressiveness or conservatism of its accounting principles and underlying estimates and whether those principles are common practices or are minority practices.
 
 10.
The Committee shall meet no less frequently than annually with the external auditors and the Chief Financial Officer or, in the absence of a Chief Financial Officer, with the officer of the Corporation in charge of financial matters, to review accounting practices, internal controls and such other matters as the Committee, Chief Financial Officer or, in the absence of a Chief Financial Officer, the officer of the Corporation in charge of financial matters, deem appropriate.
 
 11.
The Committee shall consider and approve, if appropriate, major changes to the Corporation’s accounting principles and practices as suggested by management with the concurrence of the external auditor and ensure that the management’s reasoning is described in determining the appropriateness of changes in accounting principles and disclosure.
 
 12.
The Committee shall inquire of management and the external auditors about significant risks or exposures, both internal and external, to which the Corporation may be subject and assess the steps management has taken to minimize such risks, including by obtaining the external auditors’ opinion of how effectively such risks are being managed or controlled.
 
 13.
The Committee shall review the post-audit or management letter containing the recommendations of the external auditors and management’s response and subsequent follow-up to any identified weaknesses.

 1.
The Committee shall recommend to the Board the external auditors to be nominated, for the purpose of preparing or issuing an auditor’s report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Corporation, and the compensation of the external auditors.
 
 2.
The Committee shall instruct the external auditors to report directly to the Committee and ensure that significant findings and recommendations made by the external auditors are received and discussed by the Committee on a timely basis.
 
 3.
The Committee shall be directly responsible for overseeing the work of the external auditors, including the resolution of disagreements between management and the external auditors regarding financial reporting, and shall review the performance of the external auditors and approve any proposed discharge of the external auditors when circumstances warrant.
 
  52
  4.
The Committee shall periodically consult the external auditors out of the presence of management about any matters that the Committee or the external auditors believes should be discussed privately, including, without limitation, significant risks or exposures, internal controls and other steps that management has taken to control such risks, and the fullness and accuracy of the Corporation’s financial statements.

 We do not have any arrangements for involving our employees in our capital.  We do not have a share purchase plan or dividend reinvestment plan for our directors, officers and employees.  However, we will, from time to time, grant individual stock options to our directors, officers or employees as an incentive pursuant to our amended stock option plan.
 
 Stock Option Plan
 
 We may grant stock options to directors, senior management and employees pursuant to our stock option plan dated July 31, 2008.  Under the stock option plan, we may grant stock options to purchase up to a maximum of 11,308,528 common shares.  During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 5,343,528 common shares.  During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010, 25,000 stock options to purchase common shares were exercised and stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3,617,500 common shares were cancelled.
 
 Target Stock Options
 
 As a term of the plan of arrangement between Crosshair and Target that was effective on March 31, 2009, all existing holders of options to purchase common shares in Target had their options exchanged for stock options of the Company that entitled the holder to exercise their Target options for common shares of the Company on the basis of 1.2 common shares of the Company for each Target option exercised (the “Target Exchanged Options”).  As at April 30, 2010 there were 1,400,000 Target Exchanged Options outstanding, exercisable into a total of 1,680,000 common shares of the Company.  During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010, no Target Exchanged Options to purchase common shares were exercised and a total of 60,000 Target Exchanged Options were cancelled.  No additional Target Exchanged Options are to be issued as of March 31, 2009.
 
 ITEM 7.
MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
 7.A.           Major Shareholders
 
 To the knowledge of management, no person beneficially owns 5% or more of our issued and outstanding common shares.
 
 All of our shares, both, issued and unissued, are common shares of the same class and rank equally as to dividends, voting powers and participation of powers.  Accordingly, there are no special voting powers held by our major shareholders.
 
 On July 20, 2010, we had 131,477,493 common shares issued and outstanding to approximately 479 shareholders of record.  We believe that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a portion of our outstanding common shares are held in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors or other nominees.  Management believes that there are 116 shareholders of record located in the U.S., who own an aggregate of approximately 4.03% of our outstanding common shares.  In addition to these record holders there may be more persons located in the U.S. holding our common shares in “street” name.
 
 We are a publicly owned Canadian corporation, with shareholders in Canada, the United States and other foreign jurisdictions.  We are not controlled by any foreign government or other person.  We are not aware of any arrangements that would result in a change of control of our company.
 
 7.B.           Related Party Transactions

  59
  personnel and close members of such individuals' families; or (e) enterprises in which a substantial interest in the voting power is owned, directly or indirectly, by any person described in (c) or (d) or over which such a person is able to exercise significant influence.

 ·
Consulting fees include $50,350 (2009 - $Nil, 2008 - $Nil) of fees paid or accrued to companies owned by directors and officers of the Company.     Management fees include $17,083 (2009 - $31,250, 2008 - $56,250) of fees paid or accrued to companies owned by directors and officers of the Company.

 Legal/Arbitration Proceedings
 
 Litigation with Universal Uranium Ltd.
 
 Crosshair Exploration announced on April 28, 2009 that it commenced an action in British Columbia Supreme Court against Universal alleging that Universal had knowledge of trades that artificially inflated the market price of shares of Universal at the time that Crosshair agreed to purchase property and securities of Universal.  The action relates to certain agreements Crosshair entered into with Universal to acquire all of Universal’s interest in its project in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador and to purchase securities of Universal by way of a private placement.
 
 On April 29, 2010, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Universal to settle all outstanding litigation between Crosshair and Universal.
 
 The settlement agreement requires Crosshair and Universal to file a consent dismissal order dismissing both the Crosshair claim and the Universal counterclaim. Neither company paid any funds to the other pursuant to the terms of settlement.
 
 Crosshair has also entered into a voting trust agreement (the “2010 Voting Trust Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement, Crosshair will either abstain from voting its shares in Universal or vote those shares in favor of Universal management’s proposals for a period of thirty-six months. As of April 27, 2010, Crosshair held 2,222,222 Universal shares and 2,222,222 Universal warrants.
 
 As per the original voting trust agreement between Crosshair and Universal announced on July 30, 2008 (the “2008 Voting Trust Agreement”), Universal is also required to either abstain from voting its shares in Crosshair or vote those shares in favor of Crosshair management’s proposals.  As of April 30, 2010, Universal held 5,799,500 Crosshair shares (including 1,429,000 shares held in escrow) and 7,500,000 Crosshair warrants.
 
 Pursuant to the settlement, for the next twelve months, both Crosshair and Universal are required to report on a monthly basis to the other in writing advising of the number of shares in the other they have purchased or sold in the preceding month. If Universal fails to comply with its reporting obligation, following receipt of written notice from Crosshair of its failure to report, Universal has five calendar days to supply the information to Crosshair before the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement becomes null and void. Such a voiding of the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement would have no bearing on the terms of the 2008 Voting Trust Agreement. Universal would continue to
 
  61
  be required to either abstain from voting its shares in Crosshair or vote its shares in favor of Crosshair management’s proposals.
 
 Litigation with Cartwright Drilling Inc.
 
 On May 30, 2007, a Statement of Claim was filed by Cartwright Drilling Inc. (“Cartwright”), a former supplier of the Company, claiming unpaid invoices in the amount of approximately $81,000 plus interest and costs, against which the Company filed a counterclaim.  On November 4, 2009, a settlement agreement was entered into between Cartwright and the Company pursuant to which Cartwright’s claim against the Company was settled by the Company issuing 350,000 common shares of the Company to Cartwright as full and final settlement.  Both the claim of Cartwright against the Company and the counterclaim of the Company against Cartwright were discontinued without costs being paid by either party.
 
 Litigation with Lewis Murphy
 
 On April 28, 2010 Mr. Lewis Murphy commenced court proceedings against the Company in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in relation to a 2004 Agreement pursuant to which the Company was granted an option to acquire an interest in certain mineral licenses in Newfoundland and Labrador.  As acknowledged by Mr. Murphy in the Statement of Claim, the mineral licenses were transferred to Crosshair.  The Agreement provides that upon the Company completing its earn-in obligations under the Agreement and becoming vested as to its 90% interest therein, the Company will pay Mr. Murphy an annual advance royalty of $200,000 per year until the Commencement of Commercial Production.  Mr. Murphy alleges he was owed a further annual advance royalty payment in the amount of $200,000 in November 2009.  Mr. Murphy is seeking contractual damages in the amount of $200,000, and various declaratory reliefs including, but not limited to, an order that the transfers of any and all mineral licenses from Murphy to the Company made pursuant to the Agreement are null and void and a declaration that the Agreement is terminated.  The Company is defending the court action and has filed a Counterclaim alleging that Mr. Murphy has breached certain representations and warranties contained in the Agreement.  The Company seeks various reliefs including an order of damages and the return of shares.  Mr. Murphy is defending the Counterclaim.
 
 The Company has accrued $200,000 in relation to the potential outcome.  All legal costs and result of any settlements are recorded as incurred.
 
 The nature of the Company’s business may subject it to other regulatory investigations, claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings. The results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. There can be no assurances that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
 8.B.           Significant Changes

 10.C.           Material Contracts
 
 We have entered into the following material contracts during the two years immediately preceding the date of this annual report and which are currently in effect:
 
 1.
On July 29, 2008, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Universal under which Crosshair acquired all of Universal's interest in its project in the CMB of Labrador.  As consideration for Universal's interest in the Property, Crosshair will pay to Universal $500,000 and issue 10,000,000 common shares and 7,500,000 warrants.  Each warrant will entitle Universal to purchase an additional common share in the capital of Crosshair at $1.00 per share for a period of three years from closing, subject to early expiry in the event that the average trading price of Crosshair's common shares exceeds $2.00 for a period of 20 days while the warrants are outstanding.  The securities issued to Universal will be subject to escrow for two years following the Closing, to be released in equal tranches in three month intervals. Universal will grant Crosshair's management a voting proxy over any Crosshair shares it holds or acquires on exercise of the warrants.  These escrow and voting provisions will expire if Universal distributes the securities to its shareholders.  Universal will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty on its 60% interest in the Property, of which a 0.5% net smelter return royalty may be purchased by Crosshair for $1,000,000.
 
 2.
On July, 29, 2008, we entered into an Escrow Agreement with Universal and Computershare Investor Services Inc. as Escrow Agent, pursuant which the 10,000,000 common shares and 7,500,000 warrants issued to Universal pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement described above in item 4, were placed into escrow for a period of two years, with shares and warrants being released in equal tranches in three month intervals.
 
  64
  3.
On July 29, 2008, we entered into a Voting Trust Agreement with Universal with respect to the voting of the shares and shares issued upon exercise of the warrants subject to the Escrow Agreement described in item 5 above.
 
 4.
On July 29, 2008, we entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Universal and Silver Spruce with respect to Crosshair’s acquisition of Universal’s interest in the CMB JV property in Labrador, Canada.
 
 5.
On July 29, 2008, Crosshair purchased by way of private placement, 2,222,222 units of Universal at a price of $0.45 per unit.  Each unit consists of one common share of Universal and one share purchase warrant entitling Crosshair to purchase an additional common share of Universal at a price of $0.65 each for a period of 24 months.
 
 6.
On January 28, 2009 we entered into a Combination Agreement with Target Exploration and Mining Corp. whereby Crosshair acquired all the outstanding common shares of Target and Target has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Crosshair.  Target shareholders received approximately 14.7 million common shares of Crosshair (1.2 shares for each Target common share outstanding) with an estimated market value of approximately $2.6 million.  Each Target warrant and stock option which gives the holder the right to acquire common shares of Target was exchanged for a warrant or stock option which gives the holder the right to acquire common shares of Crosshair on the exchange ratio of 1.2 Crosshair shares for each Target Warrant or stock option exercised, with all other terms of such warrants and options (such as term and expiry) remaining unchanged.
 
 7.
On April 8, 2009 we entered into the Golden Promise Option and Joint Venture agreement with Paragon Minerals Corp. whereby Crosshair acquired a 60% interest in the Golden Promise Gold Project in Central Newfoundland, Canada with an option to acquire up to a 70% interest. This agreement terminated the original property option earn-in agreement with Paragon, and Crosshair also abandoned the previously approved Plan of Arrangement with Gemini Metals Corp. (“Gemini”) whereby Crosshair was to transfer its gold and volcanic-hosted massive sulphide projects located in Newfoundland to Gemini in exchange for shares for Gemini.  As a result of the current market conditions, the board of directors of Crosshair determined that it was no longer in the best interest of shareholders to spin-out the assets of Golden Promise, South Golden Promise and Victoria Lake properties into a separate publicly traded company to be known as Gemini.  Crosshair issued 2,655,000 common shares with a market value of approximately $645,000 to Paragon to purchase the 60% interest in Golden Promise with an option to increase its interest to 70%.  Crosshair will provide Paragon with a $2.0 million carried interest in initial exploration expenditures to be completed prior to May 2013.  Crosshair can extend the timeframe to complete the initial exploration program by 12 months upon issuing 250,000 common shares to Paragon.  Upon the successful completion of the initial $2.0 million exploration program, Crosshair can elect to earn an additional 10% interest (to 70%) in Golden Promise by providing Paragon with an additional $1.0 million carried interest in additional exploration expenditures within 24 months.   Crosshair can extend the timeframe to complete the additional exploration program by 12 months upon issuing 100,000 common shares to Paragon.  In the event Crosshair does not complete the additional expenditure program within the required timeframe, Crosshair can purchase the remaining 10% interest by paying Paragon the difference between actually incurred exploration expenditures and $1.0 million or revert to the 60% interest.
 
 8.
On August 10, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement with ArkOrion Enterprises Ltd. whereby we engage Adam Kniec to provide services as a Chief Financial Officer.  See Item 6.B. Compensation – Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors – Employment and Consulting Agreements for a description of this agreement.
 
 9.
On January 1, 2010, we entered into a Management Services Agreement with EGM, a company controlled by Mark J. Morabito, whereby we engage EGM to provide shared office/administration and payroll services to the Company.  See Item 7.B – Related Party Transactions and Exhibit 4.9 for a description of this agreement.
 
  65
  10.
On March 1, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with MJM Consulting (“MJM”) and Mark J. Morabito whereby we engage MJM to provide the services of Mark J. Morabito to act as Executive Chairman of the Company and to provide such general management consulting services as the Company may require from time to time.  See Item 6.B. Compensation – Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors – Employment and Consulting Agreements for a description of this agreement.
 
 11.
On March 1, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Sundance Geological Ltd. (“Sundance”) and C. Stewart Wallis whereby we engage Sundance to provide the services of C. Stewart Wallis to act as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and to provide general management and geological consulting services to the Company.  See Item 6.B. Compensation – Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors – Employment and Consulting Agreements for a description of this agreement.
 
 12.
On April 27, 2010, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with Universal to settle all outstanding litigation between Crosshair and Universal.  See Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – Legal/Arbitration Proceedings for more description of the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release
 
 13.
On April 27, 2010, we entered into a voting trust agreement with Universal (the “2010 Voting Trust Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement, Crosshair will either abstain from voting its shares in Universal or vote those shares in favor of Universal management’s proposals for a period of thirty-six months. See Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – Legal/Arbitration Proceedings for more description of the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement.
 
 10.D.           Exchange Controls
 
 Canada has no system of exchange controls.  There are no Canadian restrictions on the repatriation of capital or earnings of a Canadian public company to non-resident investors.  There are no laws in Canada or exchange restrictions affecting the remittance of dividends, profits, interest, royalties and other payments to non-resident holders of our securities, except as discussed in “10.E. Taxation” below.
 
 There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or in our organizing documents on the right of foreigners to hold or vote our securities, except that the Investment Canada Act may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain acquisitions of "control" of us by a "non-Canadian". The threshold for acquisitions of control is generally defined as being one-third or more of the voting shares of our company. "Non-Canadian" generally means an individual who is not a Canadian citizen, or a corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is ultimately controlled by non-Canadians.
 
 10.E.           Taxation
 
 Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
 The discussion under this heading summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock for a shareholder who at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”) and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) (the "Convention") (i) is not resident or deemed to be resident in Canada, but is a resident of the U.S., (ii) is a "qualifying person" for the purposes of the Convention, (iii) deals at arm's length with us, and (iv) will acquire and hold our common shares as capital property for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act.  This summary does not apply to a shareholder who uses or holds, or is deemed to use or hold, its shares in our Company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada, or to a shareholder that is either an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere or an “authorized foreign bank” as defined in the Canadian Tax Act.  This summary is based on the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, the regulations thereunder in force as of the date hereof (the “Regulations”), all proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act or the Regulations publicly announced by the federal Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”), and an understanding of the current published administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency.  This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to a shareholder of our company and, except for the Tax Proposals,
 
  66
  this summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in the Canadian Tax Act, the Regulations or the administrative or assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decisions or action, nor does this summary take into account provincial, territorial or other foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.  There can be no assurance that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all.
 
 This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder.  The tax consequences to any particular shareholder will depend on a variety of factors including the shareholder’s own particular circumstances.  Therefore, all shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.
 
 The provisions of the Canadian Tax Act are subject to income tax treaties to which Canada is a party, including the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention(1980), as amended (the “Convention”).
 
 Dividends on Common Shares
 
 Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is generally subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on dividends paid or deemed to have been paid to him or her by a corporation resident in Canada.  We are responsible for withholding this tax at the source. The Convention generally limits the rate of withholding tax on dividends to 15% of the gross amount of such dividends paid to shareholders or, if the shareholder is a company that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the payor corporation, 5% of the gross amount of the dividends.
 
 The Convention generally exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is a resident of the U.S. and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the U.S.
 
 Dispositions of Common Shares
 
 Under the Canadian Tax Act, a taxpayer’s capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of our common shares is the amount, if any, by which his or her proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the aggregate of his or her adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition.  The capital gain or loss must be computed in Canadian currency using a weighted average adjusted cost base for identical properties.  One half of capital gains net of one half of any capital losses are included in income.  The amount by which a shareholder’s capital loss exceeds the capital gain in a year may be deducted from a capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous years or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.
 
 Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains, and may deduct allowable capital losses, realized on a disposition of “taxable Canadian property.”  Shares of our common stock will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if the shareholder used the shares in carrying on business in Canada, or if at any time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series in our capital stock were owned by a shareholder, persons with whom the shareholder did not deal at arm's length or the shareholder together with all such persons and in certain other circumstances.
 
 The Convention generally relieves U.S. residents who qualify for benefit thereunder from liability for Canadian tax on capital gains derived on a disposition of shares unless:
 
 (a)
the value of the shares is derived principally from real property situated in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production;
 
 
 67
 
 (b)
the shareholder was an individual who was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him or her when he or she ceased to be resident in Canada; or
 
 (c)
the shares formed part of the business property of a “permanent establishment” that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.
 
 Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
 U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
 The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as hereinafter defined) of our common shares under current law.  This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder.  In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences.  Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the specific federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of our common shares, based upon their individual circumstances.
 
 The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Code, Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.
 
 U.S. Holders
 
 As used in this annual report, a “U.S. Holder” means a holder of our common shares who is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof which has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3), an estate whose income is taxable in the U.S. irrespective of source or a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and control of a U.S. fiduciary as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.  This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and the term U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services.  This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and who own (directly and indirectly, pursuant to applicable rules of constructive ownership) no more than 5% of the value of our total outstanding stock.  This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares. In addition, this summary does not address special rules applicable to U.S. persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) holding common shares through a foreign partnership or to foreign persons holding common shares through a domestic partnership.
 
 
 68
 
 Distributions on Our Common Shares
 
 In general, U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to our common shares are required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions (without reduction of any Canadian income or other tax withheld from such distributions), equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits.  Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder’s federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions (See more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” below). Dividends received from us by a non-corporate U.S. Holder during taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, generally, will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15% provided that such U.S. Holder has held to shares for more than 60 days during the 120-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and that certain other conditions are met (“qualified dividend income”).  For this purpose, dividends will include any distribution paid by us with respect to our common shares but only to the extent such distribution is not in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. Federal income tax principles.  To the extent that distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of property.  For this purpose, “qualified dividend income” generally includes dividends paid on stock in U.S. corporations as well as dividends paid on stock in certain non-U.S. corporations if, among other things, (i) the shares of the non-U.S. corporation (including ADRs backed by such shares) are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S., or (ii) the non-U.S. corporation is eligible with respect to substantially all of its income for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the U.S. which contains an exchange of information program.   We currently anticipate that if we were to pay any dividends with respect to our shares, if we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, then to the extent of such earnings and profits the dividends should constitute “qualified dividend income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that U.S. Holders who are individuals should be entitled to the reduced rates of tax, as applicable.
 
 In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt.  Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income.
 
 Dividends paid on our common shares will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from us (unless we qualify as a “foreign personal holding company” or a “passive foreign investment company”, as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of our voting power and value, or to a 85% deduction if the U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 20% o the voting power and value of the Company.  The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion.
 
 Disposition of Our Common Shares
 
 In general, U.S. Holders will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of our common shares equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in our common shares.  Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts.  In general, gain or loss on the sale of our common shares will be long-term capital gain or loss if our common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder and are held for more than one year.  Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations.  For U.S. Holders that are not corporations, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.  For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years preceding the loss year and
 
 
 69
 
 carried forward five years following the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.
 
 Passive Foreign Investment Company
 
 We have not determined whether or not we meet the definition of PFIC, within the meaning of Sections 1291 through 1298 of the Code for the current tax year and any prior tax years.  We may or may not qualify as a PFIC in subsequent years due to changes in our assets and business operations.  A U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to numerous special U.S. federal income taxation rules.  The following is a discussion of these special rules as they apply to U.S. Holders of our common shares.
 
 Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the U.S. if, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is “passive income,” which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if                                                          is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income is 50% or more.
 
 U.S. Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to a special tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of U.S. tax attributable to undistributed earnings of a PFIC for the period during which the shares of the PFIC are owned.  This special tax would apply to any gain realized on the disposition of shares of a PFIC.  In addition, the gain is subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinary income, taxed at top marginal rates, rather than as capital gain income.  The special tax would also be payable on receipt of excess distributions (any distributions received in the current year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received during the 3 preceding years or, if shorter, the shareholder’s holding period).  However, if the U.S. Holder makes for any tax year a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) with respect to such shareholder’s interest therein, the above-described rules generally will not apply.  Instead, the electing U.S. Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and any net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed.  Special rules apply to U.S. Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or persons.  Generally, shareholders do not make a QEF election unless they have sufficient information to determine their proportionate share of a corporation’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings. We have not calculated these amounts for any shareholder, and do not anticipate making these calculations in the foreseeable future. Therefore, U.S. Holders of our common shares should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the QEF election before making this election.
 
 U.S. Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a “mark-to-market election”).  If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable years for which the mark-to-market election is made.  A U.S. Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our common shares as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in such shares.  In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for our common shares included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a U.S. Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) our common shares and the Company is a PFIC (“Non-Electing U.S. Holder”), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years.  A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common shares will be increased or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election.  A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.
 
 The IRS has issued proposed regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges
 
 
 70
 
 pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases, the basis of our common shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized.  A U.S. Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed above) would not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death.  The transferee’s basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the common shares are transferred.  Each U.S. Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.
 
 The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex.  U.S. Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.
 
 Controlled Foreign Corporation
 
 If more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote or the total value of our common shares is owned, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, U.S. domestic partnerships or corporation, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by Code Section 7701(a)(31)), each of which owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more of our total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote (“U.S. Shareholder”), we would be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) under Subpart F of the Code.  This classification could affect many complex results, one of which is the inclusion by the U.S. shareholders of certain income of a CFC which is subject to current U.S. tax.  The United States generally taxes U.S. Shareholders of a CFC currently on their pro rata shares of the Subpart F income of the CFC. Such U.S. Shareholders are generally treated as having received a current distribution out of the CFC’s Subpart F income and are also subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of increases in the CFC’s earnings invested in U.S. property.  The foreign tax credit described above may reduce the U.S. tax on these amounts.  In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares of the CFC by a U.S. Holder which is or was a U.S. Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of the CFC attributable to the shares sold or exchanged.  If a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC, the foreign corporation generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to U.S. Shareholders of the CFC.  This rule generally is effective for taxable years of U.S. Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for taxable years of foreign corporations ending with or within such taxable years of U.S. Shareholders.  Special rules apply to U.S. Shareholders who are subject to the special taxation rules under Section 1291 discussed above with respect to a PFIC.  Because of the complexity of Subpart F, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion.  We do not believe that we currently qualify as a CFC.  However, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.
 
 Foreign Tax Credit.
 
 A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian or other foreign income tax with respect to the ownership of our common shares  may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such foreign tax paid or withheld. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the foreign tax credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s U.S. income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s "foreign source" income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified as either "foreign source" or "U.S. source." Complex rules govern this classification process.
 
 In addition, U.S. Holders that are corporations and that own 10% or more of our voting stock may be entitled to an "indirect" foreign tax credit under Section 902 of the Code with respect to the payment of dividends by us under certain circumstances and subject to complex rules and limitations.The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations with respect to the foreign tax credit are fact specific, and each U.S. Holder
 
 
 71
 
 of our common shares should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the foreign tax credit rules.
 
 Information Reporting; Backup Withholding.
 
 Certain information reporting and backup withholding rules may apply with respect to certain payments related to our common shares. In particular, a payor or middleman within the U.S., or in certain cases outside the U.S., will be required to withhold at a current rate of 28% (which rate is scheduled for periodic adjustment) of any payments to a U.S. Holder regarding dividends paid by the Company, or proceeds from the sale of, such common shares within the U.S., if a U.S. Holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9) or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, the backup withholding tax requirements. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS. U.S. U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules applicable to our common shares.

 ITEM 11.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
 Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity
 
 The results of our operations are subject to currency translation risk and currency transaction risk. Regarding currency translation risk, our operating results and financial position are reported in Canadian dollars in our consolidated financial statements. We incur certain costs in US dollars. The fluctuation of the US dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar will therefore have an impact upon our profitability and may also affect the value of our assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity.
 
 In regards to transaction risk, our functional currency is the Canadian dollar and our activities are predominantly executed using the Canadian dollar. We incur a relatively small portion of our expenses in U.S. dollars. To date, we have completed all of our equity financing in Canadian dollars. We have not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge any possible currency risks at this time due to the small amount of exposure.
 
 
 72
 
 Interest Rate Sensitivity
 
 We currently have no short term or long term debt requiring interest payments. As a result, we have not entered into any agreement or purchased any instrument to hedge against possible interest rate risks at this time.
 
 Commodity Price Sensitivity
 
 Our future revenue and profitability will be dependent, to a significant extent, upon prevailing spot market prices for metals. In the past metal prices have been volatile. Prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to changes in supply of and demand for metals, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. Our mineral properties are in the exploration phase and accordingly we are not generating any operating revenues and are therefore not subject to any short term volatility in the prices of metals. As we are in the exploration phase, the above factors have had no material impact on operations or income. We have not entered into any futures or forward contracts.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) was carried out by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded as of the end of the period covered by this report that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within our company and our subsidiaries to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
 The management of  the Company  is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of company level internal controls over financial reporting on a risk based approach using elements of the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
 Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management believes that the internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2010 was effective.
 
 
 74
 
 Management’s internal control report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report.
 
 Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
 Other than those described elsewhere in this Form 20-F, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  Nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls requiring corrective actions.
 
 ITEM 16A.
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
 
 Our Board of Directors has determined that Ian Smith, a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 16.A. of Form 20-F.
 
 Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Smith is an independent director in accordance with the definition set forth in Section 803 of the NYSE Amex Company Guide.
 
 ITEM 16B.
CODE OF ETHICS
 
 We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, and other members of senior management. As adopted, the Code of Ethics sets forth standards that are designed to prevent wrongdoing and to promote:
 
 ·
honesty and integrity, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
 
 ·
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by us;
 
 ·
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
 
 ·
protection of and respect for the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of work;
 
 ·
responsible use of and control over assets and resources;
 
 ·
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics; and
 
 ·
accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

 Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
 
 All services to be performed by our auditor must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence and has adopted a policy governing the provision of these services. This policy requires the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all audit and non-audit services provided by the external auditor, other than anyde minimis non-audit services allowed by applicable law or regulation.
 
 Pre-approval from the Audit Committee can be sought for planned engagements based on budgeted or committed fees. No further approval is required to pay pre-approved fees. Additional pre-approval is required for any increase in scope or in final fees.
 
 Of the total aggregate fees paid by the Company to its accountants during the fiscal year ended December 31, April 30, 2010, $nil, or 0% of the aggregate fees, were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to thede minimis exception provided by Section (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
 Our common shares are listed on NYSE Amex.  Section 110 of the NYSE Amex Company Guide permits NYSE Amex to consider the laws, customs and practices of the foreign issuer’s country of domicile in relaxing certain NYSE Amex listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from NYSE Amex listing criteria based on these considerations. A corporation seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law. Significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from the NYSE Amex standards followed by domestic companies include a reduced quorum requirement for shareholder meetings (two shareholders holding at least 5% of the shares entitled to be voted versus one-third of the outstanding shares under NYSE Amex standards), no
 
 
 76
 
 requirement for shareholder approval of material amendments to outstanding stock options (required under NYSE Amex standards), and a higher threshold requirement for obtaining shareholder approval of large issuances of common shares (required when the issuance could result in a 25% increase in the number of outstanding common shares, as opposed to 20% under NYSE Amex standards).

 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
 
 To the Shareholders of
 Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp.
 
 We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. as at April 30, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an option on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
 
 In our opinion, these consolidated  financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at April 30, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

 COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA –
 U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCE
 
 In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements.  Our report to the shareholders dated July 22, 2010 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

 CROSSHAIR EXPLORATION & MINING CORP.
 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 April 30, 2010
 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
   1.           NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
  Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (the "Company" or “Crosshair”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on September 2, 1966.  Its principal business activities are the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. All of the Company’s resource properties are located in North America.
  The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.  The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred exploration costs are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production.
  While these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due, certain conditions and events cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption.  For the year ended April 30, 2010, the Company reported a loss of $2,321,078 and as at that date had an accumulated deficit of $53,694,636.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional funding from loans or equity financings or through other arrangements. To raise funds for operations, the Company is pursuing merger and acquisition opportunities, in conjunction with private or institutional financing.  However, there can be no assurance that these activities will be successful.
 
 These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption deemed to be inappropriate.  These adjustments could be material.

  Change in accounting policy
 
 New Canadian Accounting Pronouncements
 
 Goodwill and intangible assets (Section 3064)
 
 In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. Concurrent with the adoption of this standard, EIC 27, “Revenue and Expenditures in the Pre-operating Period”, was withdrawn. The adoption of this section did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 
 Business combinations (Section 1582)
 
 In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582 “Business Combinations” to replace Section 1581. Prospective application of the standard will be effective May 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This new standard effectively harmonizes the business combinations standard under Canadian GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. The new standard revises guidance on the determination of the carrying amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill and accounting for non-controlling interests at the time of a business combination. The Company does not expect the adoption of this section to have a significant effect on its financial statements.

  New Canadian Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d...)
 
 Consolidated Financial Statements (Section 1601) and Non-Controlling Interests (Section 1602)
 
 The CICA concurrently issued Section 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602 “Non-Controlling Interests” which replace Section 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements.” Section 1601 provides revised guidance on the preparation of consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 addresses accounting for non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. Theses standards are effective May 1, 2011, unless they are early adopted at the same time as Section 1582 “Business Combinations.” The Company does not expect the adoption of this section to have a significant effect on its financial statements.
 
 International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
  In February 2008 the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") announced that publicly-listed companies are to adopt IFRS, replacing Canadian GAAP, for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly, the Company will commence reporting under IFRS for its fiscal year commencing May 1, 2011, and will present its first IFRS-based financial statements for its interim fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2011. These statements will require comparative amounts determined under IFRS for the prior fiscal year period, which in turn will require the restatement to conform with IFRS of the Company’s balance sheets at both April 30, 2010 and 2011.
 
 The Company has commenced the diagnostic phase of planning for the implementation of IFRS. It has determined that the principal areas of impact will be IFRS 1 – first time adoption; presentation of financial statements; property, plant and equipment; asset retirement obligations; impairment of assets; and share-based payments. The Company expects its detailed analysis of relevant IFRS requirements and of IFRS 1 will be complete by the end of its second fiscal quarter October 30, 2010, along with its determination of changes to accounting policies and choices to be made. The Company has not yet reached the stage where a quantified impact of conversion on its financial statements can be measured. The Company expects to complete its quantification of financial statement impacts by the end of its third fiscal quarter January 31, 2011.
 
 Significant accounting policies
 
 Consolidation
  These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Target Exploration & Mining Corp, and 448018 Exploration Inc. (Note 4); both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of The Bootheel Project LLC (Note 5). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
 Foreign exchange
  The financial position and results of the Company’s integrated foreign operations have been translated into
 Canadian funds using the temporal method as follows:
 
 i) Monetary items, at the rate of exchange prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date;
 ii) Non-monetary items, at the historical rate of exchange; and
 iii) Exploration and administration costs, at the average rate during the year in which the transaction occurred.
 
 Gains and losses arising on currency translation are included in operations for the year.  86

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont’d...)
 
 Significant accounting policies (cont’d...)
 
 Use of estimates
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
  Financial Instruments
  The Company follows CICA Handbook Section 1530 “Comprehensive Income” (“Section 1530”), Section 3251 “Equity”, Section 3855 “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement” (“Section 3855”), Section 3861 “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation” and Section 3865 “Hedges”.  These sections, provide requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments and on the use of hedge accounting.  Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources.  Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income but that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 Under Section 3855, all financial instruments are classified into five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities.  All financial instruments and derivatives are measured in the balance sheet at fair value except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities which are measured at amortized cost.  Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification as follows: (1) held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net income; (2) available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the instrument is derecognized or impaired; and (3) all derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income.
 
 The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as held-for-trading.  Receivables are classified as loans and receivables.  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties are classified as other financial liabilities, all of which are measured at amortized cost.  The Company has elected to measure all derivatives and embedded derivatives at fair value and the Company maintained its policy not to use hedge accounting.
 
 Section 3855 also provides guidance on accounting for transaction costs incurred upon issuance of debt instruments or modification of a financial liability.  Transaction costs are not deducted from the financial liability and are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related liability.
 
 CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures was amended to require disclosure about the inputs used in making fair value measurements, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes their significant.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
 
 Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
 Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

  Cash and cash equivalents
  The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on deposit and highly liquid short-term interest bearing variable rate investments.  Interest earned is recognized immediately in operations.
  Marketable securities
  The Company accounts for its marketable securities at fair market value with gains and losses included in the statement of operations.
  Equipment
  Equipment is recorded at cost.  The equipment noted below is amortized over its useful lives using the following annual rates and methods:

  Mineral properties
 
 Costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties are capitalized by property until the commencement of commercial production.  If commercially profitable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related property are reclassified as mining assets and amortized using the unit of production method.  If, after management review, it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are not recoverable over the estimated economic life of the property, or the property is abandoned, or management deems there to be an impairment in value, the property is written down to its net realizable value.
  Any option payments received by the Company from third parties or tax credits refunded to the Company are credited to the capitalized cost of the mineral property. If payments received exceed the capitalized cost of the mineral property, the excess is recognized as income in the year received.
  The amounts shown for mineral properties do not necessarily represent present or future values.  Their recoverability is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
  Future reclamation costs
  The Company follows the recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3110, Asset Retirement Obligations. This section requires recognition of a legal liability for obligations relating to retirement of property, plant, and equipment, and arising from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of those assets. Such asset retirement cost must be recognized at fair value, when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, in the period in which it is incurred, added to the carrying value of the asset, and amortized into income on a systematic basis over its useful life. If the fair value of the liability decreases due to changes in future cash flow estimates, a corresponding decrease in the related asset is recorded. If the reduction exceeds the value of the related asset, the remaining amount is reduced through earnings.

  Significant accounting policies (cont’d...)
  Flow-through shares
  Canadian Income Tax Legislation permits an enterprise to issue securities referred to as flow-through shares, whereby the investor can claim the tax deductions arising from the renunciation of the related resource expenditures. When resource expenditures are renounced to the investors and the Company has reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be completed, future income tax liabilities are recognized with a corresponding reduction to share capital.
  If a company has sufficient unused tax losses and deductions to offset all or part of the future income tax liabilities and no future income tax assets have been previously recognized on such losses, a portion of such unrecognized losses (losses multiplied by the effective corporate tax rate) is recorded as income up to the amount of the future income tax liability that was previously recognized on the renounced expenditures.
  Loss per share
  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
  For diluted per share computations, assumptions are made regarding potential common shares outstanding during the year.  The weighted average number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the year, or at time of issuance, if later, all options and warrants are exercised.  Proceeds from exercise are used to purchase the Company’s common shares at their average market price during the year, thereby reducing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  If these computations prove to be anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.
  Stock-based compensation
  The Company has an employee stock option plan.  The Company recognizes an expense arising from stock options granted to both employees and non-employees using the fair value method.  The fair value of option grants is generally established at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model and the compensation amount, equal to the option’s fair value, is then recognized over the options’ vesting periods.
  Income taxes
  Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method of tax allocation, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases (“temporary differences”) and losses carried forward. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse.  The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
  Impairment of long-lived assets
 
 A long-lived asset is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.  For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets and liabilities to form an asset group at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.  Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of a long-lived asset include only the future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition.

 4.           ACQUISITION
  Target Exploration & Mining Corp.
 
 On January 6, 2009, the Company entered into a plan of arrangement with Target Exploration & Mining Corp. (“Target”), whereby the Company agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares, warrants and stock options of Target. In consideration, the Company issued common shares, warrants and stock options on a 1.2 ratio for each Target common share, warrant and stock option outstanding, with all other terms of the warrants and stock options remaining unchanged. On March 31, 2009, the plan of arrangement was completed and the Company issued 14,663,488 common shares, 2,283,300 warrants and 2,400,000 stock options to Target shareholders and paid acquisition costs of $195,271, with a total value of $2,509,592.
 
 The cost of the asset acquisition should be based on the fair value of the consideration given, except where the fair value of the consideration given is not clearly evident. In the case of the Company, the fair value of the consideration given was used which was allocated amongst the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Target as of the date of acquisition.
 
 The acquisition of Target constitutes a related party transaction, and since the transaction has commercial substance and is not in the normal course of operations, it has been measured at the exchange amount.

   11.           INCOME TAXES (cont’d...)
  During the year ended April 30, 2010, the Company issued 13,918,180 common shares on a flow-through basis for gross proceeds of $3,275,000.  The flow-through agreement requires the Company to renounce certain deductions for Canadian exploration expenditures incurred on the Company’s resource properties.  Future income taxes of $818,750 on the exploration expenditures to be renounced to shareholders were applied against capital stock in fiscal 2010 as a result.



The Company has available for deduction against future taxable income non-capital losses of approximately $12,376,000. These losses, if not utilized, will expire through 2030. In addition, the Company also has resource deductions available to reduce taxable income in future years. Future tax benefits, which may arise as a result of these losses and resource expenditures, have not been recognized in these financial statements, and have been offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their realization.
   12.           SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 13.           CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
 
 The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and development of its mineral properties, acquire additional mineral property interests and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.  In the management of capital, the Company includes its cash and cash equivalent balances and components of shareholders’ equity.
 
 The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.  To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.
 
 In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.  The annual and updated budgets are approved by the Board of Directors.

   13.           CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (cont’d...)
 
 At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends.
 
 The Company manages its exposure to USD currency fluctuations by keeping a sufficient amount of US dollars on hand.
 
 The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash, not otherwise designated for strategic investments, in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing R1-High investment rated (DBRS) investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the original date of acquisition.
 
 The Company is planning to complete an equity financing in the second or third fiscal quarter of 2011 to carry on its operations for the next 12 months and beyond April 30, 2011.
 
 The Company currently is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.  There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management.
 
 14.           FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
 The fair value of the Company’s receivables, due from related party, reclamation bonds, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate carrying value, which is the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.  The Company’s other financial instruments, cash and marketable securities, under the fair value hierarchy is based on level one quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and price risk.
  Currency risk
  As at April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2009, the Company’s expenditures are predominantly in Canadian dollars, and any future equity raised is expected to be predominantly in Canadian dollars.  As at April 30, 2010, the Company has accounts payable denominated in US dollars of $53,755 and cash of $20,357 US dollars.  A 10% change in the Canadian dollar vs. the US dollar would give rise to a $3,360 gain/loss.  In the future the Company expects a significant amount of its expenditures to be in USD, related to the exploration and development of its Bootheel Wyoming Property.
  Credit risk
  Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
  The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at a large Canadian financial institution in interest bearing accounts.  The Company has no investments in asset-backed commercial paper.
  The Company’s accounts receivable consist mainly of GST and HST receivable due from the Government of Canada.

   14.           FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d...)
  Liquidity risk
  Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
  The Company manages liquidity risk through its capital management as outlined in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.  Accounts payable relating to mineral properties and other accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within one year.
  Interest rate risk
  Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
  The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value of the short-term investments included in cash and cash equivalents is minimal because these investments roll over daily.
  Price risk
  The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices, particularly uranium.  The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
  Market Risk
  The Company currently maintains investments in certain marketable securities.  There can be no assurance that the Company can exit these positions if required, resulting in proceeds approximating the carrying value of these securities.

CONTINGENCIES
  Litigation with Universal Uranium Ltd.
 
 Crosshair Exploration and Mining Corp. announced on April 28, 2009 that it commenced an action in British Columbia Supreme Court against Universal Uranium Ltd (“Universal”) alleging that Universal had knowledge of trades that artificially inflated the market price of shares of Universal at the time that Crosshair agreed to purchase property and securities of Universal.  The action relates to certain agreements Crosshair entered into with Universal to acquire all of Universal’s interest in its project in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador and to purchase securities of Universal by way of a private placement.
 
 On April 29, 2010, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Universal to settle all outstanding litigation between Crosshair and Universal.
 
 The settlement agreement requires Crosshair and Universal to file a consent dismissal order dismissing both the Crosshair claim and the Universal counterclaim. Neither company paid any funds to the other pursuant to the terms of settlement.
 
 Crosshair has also entered into a voting trust agreement (the “2010 Voting Trust Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement, Crosshair will either abstain from voting its shares in Universal or vote those shares in favour of Universal management’s proposals for a period of thirty-six months. As of April 30, 2010, Crosshair held 2,222,222 Universal shares and 2,222,222 Universal warrants.

CONTINGENCIES (cont’d...)
  As per the original voting trust agreement between Crosshair and Universal announced on July 30, 2008 (the “2008 Voting Trust Agreement”), Universal is also required to either abstain from voting its shares in Crosshair or vote those shares in favour of Crosshair management’s proposals. As of April 30, 2010, Universal held 5,799,500 (including 1,429,000 held in escrow) Crosshair shares and 7,500,000 Crosshair warrants.
 
 Pursuant to the settlement, for the next twelve months, both Crosshair and Universal are required to report on a monthly basis to the other in writing advising of the number of shares in the other they have purchased or sold in the preceding month. If Universal fails to comply with its reporting obligation, following receipt of written notice from Crosshair of its failure to report, Universal has five calendar days to supply the information to Crosshair before the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement becomes null and void. Such a voiding of the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement would have no bearing on the terms of the 2008 Voting Trust Agreement. Universal would continue to be required to either abstain from voting its shares in Crosshair or vote its shares in favour of Crosshair management’s proposals.
 
 Litigation with Lewis Murphy
 
 On April 28, 2010 Mr. Lewis Murphy commenced court proceedings against the Company in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in relation to a 2004 Agreement pursuant to which the Company was granted an option to acquire an interest in certain mineral licenses in Newfoundland and Labrador.  As acknowledged by Mr. Murphy in the Statement of Claim, the mineral licenses were transferred to Crosshair.  The Agreement provides that upon the Company completing its earn-in obligations under the Agreement and becoming vested as to its 90% interest therein, the Company will pay Mr. Murphy an annual advance royalty of $200,000 per year until the Commencement of Commercial Production.  Mr. Murphy alleges he was owed a further annual advance royalty payment in the amount of $200,000 in November 2009.  Mr. Murphy is seeking contractual damages in the amount of $200,000, and various declaratory relief including, but not limited to, an order that the transfers of any and all mineral licenses from Murphy to the Company made pursuant to the Agreement are null and void and a declaration that the Agreement is terminated.  The Company is defending the court action and has filed a Counterclaim alleging that Mr. Murphy has breached certain representations and warranties contained in the Agreement.  The Company seeks various reliefs including an order of damages and the return of shares.  Mr. Murphy is defending the Counterclaim.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont’d...)
 
 Mineral property interests and deferred exploration costs
  Mineral property costs and related exploration expenditures are accounted for in accordance with Canadian GAAP as disclosed in Note 2. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company capitalizes acquisition costs and expenses as incurred exploration costs relating to unproven mineral properties. When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared, then subsequent development costs of the property would be capitalized. The capitalized costs of such properties would then be measured periodically for recoverability of carrying values.
 The Company considers mineral rights to be tangible assets and accordingly, the Company capitalizes costs related to the acquisition of mineral rights.
 
 Flow-through shares
  Under Canadian income tax legislation, the Company is permitted to issue shares whereby the Company agrees to incur qualifying expenditures (as defined under the Income Tax Act of Canada) and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors.  Under Canadian GAAP, flow-through shares are accounted for as part of the issuance of capital stock at the price paid for the shares, net of any future income tax liability.  Under US GAAP, any difference between the market price of the Company's stock and the fair value of the flow-through shares must be recorded as a liability if a premium is paid by investors or as an asset if investors are purchasing the shares at a discount.  The asset or liability is charged to income as the flow-through share proceeds are expended on qualifying expenditures.
  During the year ended April 30, 2010, the Company issued 13,918,180 flow-through shares for total proceeds of $3,275,000.  As the market price of the Company’s stock was less than the fair value of the flow-through shares issued, a premium of $151,090 has been recorded for the expended cash on qualifying expenditures and a flow-through share liability of $218,273 was recorded for the unexpended amount as of April 30, 2010.
  Loss per share
  Under both Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
  Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes any shares held in escrow for which the release is subject to certain performance conditions. The weighted average number of shares outstanding under United States generally accepted accounting principles for the years ended April 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were 118,114,045, 93,584,687, and 72,997,081 respectively.

  New Accounting Standards
 
 During fiscal 2010, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (the Codification). The Codification has become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Effective with the Company’s adoption on September 1, 2009, the Codification has superseded all prior non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative. As the adoption of the Codification only affected how specific references to GAAP literature have been disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, it did not result in any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
 
 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”) (Codified within ASC 810), which clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosures, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 160 on May 1, 2009 and the adoption of this pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”) (revised 2007) (Codified within ASC 805) to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141 establishes principles and requirements for the acquirer to (1) recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest; (2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141(R) on May 1, 2009 and the adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 In November 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 08-6 “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations” (“EITF 08-6”) (Codified within ASC 323), which clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and guidance on a number of factors, including, determination of the initial carrying value of an equity method investment, performing an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment, accounting for an equity method investee’s issuance of shares and accounting for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. EITF 08-6 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning on May 1, 2009 and has been applied prospectively. The adoption of EITF 08-6 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES(cont’d...)
  New Accounting Standards(cont’d...)
 
 In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65 formerly FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). This provides significant guidance for determining when a market has become inactive as well as guidance for determining whether transactions are not orderly. It also provides guidance on the use of valuation techniques and the use of broker quotes and pricing services. It reiterates that fair value is based on an exit price and also that fair value is market-driven and not entity-specific. The accounting standard of codification applies to all assets and liabilities within the scope of ASC 820 and is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
 
 In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825-10-65, formerly FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1”), which increases the frequency of fair value disclosures to a quarterly basis instead of an annual basis. The guidance relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. This ASC is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
 
 In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855),amending ASC 855. ASU 2010-09 removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date relating to its subsequent events in both issued and revised financial statements. ASU 2010-09 also eliminates potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. Most of ASU 2010-09 is effective upon issuance of the update. The Company adopted ASU 2010-09 in February 2010, and accordingly has not disclosed the date relating to its subsequent events.
 
 In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,amending ASC 820. ASU 2010-06 requires entities to provide new disclosures and clarify existing disclosures relating to fair value measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 GLOSSARYOF GEOLOGICAL TERMS
 
 The following is a glossary of certain geological terms used in this Form 20-F Annual Report:
 
 Anomalousmeans having a geochemical or geophysical character which deviates from regularity.
 
 Anticlinemeans a fold with strata sloping downward on both sides from a common crest.
 
 Archean means of or relating to the oldest known rocks, those of the Precambrian Eon, Basaltmeans a hard, dense, dark volcanic rock composed chiefly of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine, and often having a glassy appearance.

 Chertmeans variety of silica containing microcrystalline quartz.
 
 Claimmeans the area that confers mineral exploration/exploitation rights to the registered (mineral/mining) holder under the laws of the governing jurisdiction.
 
 Clasticmeans a sedimentary rock composed of fragments from pre-existing rock.
 
 Conglomeratemeansa composite rock made up of particles of varying size.

The cutting bit is set with diamonds and is attached to the end of long hollow rods through which water is pumped to the cutting face.  The drill cuts a core of rock which is recovered in long cylindrical sections, an inch or more in diameter.
 
 Dolostone means a sedimentary rock composed primarily of dolomite, a mineral made up of calcium, magnesium, carbon, and oxygen.
 
 eU3O8means equivalent uranium as determined from a gamma log measured by a downhole probe.  Expressing the uranium content in this manner is standard industry practice for uranium exploration in the USA.
 
 Faultmeans a fracture in a rock along which there has been relative movement between the two sides either vertically or horizontally.
 
 Foliationmeans the layered structure common to metamorphic rocks.
 
 Fracturemeans breaks in rocks due to intensive folding or faulting.
 
 Galenameans a soft blue-gray mineral; a major source of lead.
 
 Geologicalmeans pertaining to geology, the study of the planet earth – the materials of which it is made, the processes that act on these materials, the products formed, and the history of the planet and its life forms since its origin.
 
 Geochemicalmeans the chemistry of the composition and alterations of the solid matter of the earth or a celestial body.
 
  116
  Geophysicsmeans the study of the earth by quantitative physical methods.
 
 Gneisses means a banded or foliated metamorphic rock, usually of the same composition as granite.
 
 Granitemeansplutonic igneous rock having visibly crystalline texture; generally composed of feldspar and mica and quartz.
 
 Graphiticmeans pertaining to, containing, derived from, or resembling, graphite.
 
 Greywackemeans a variety of sandstone generally characterized by its hardness, dark color, and poorly-sorted, angular grains of quartz, feldspar, and small rock fragments set in a compact, clay-fine matrix.
 
 Hematitemeans an iron ore that is a natural iron oxide that is reddish or brown in colour.
 
 Hostmeans a rock or mineral that is older than rocks or minerals introduced into it.
 
 Indicated Mineral Resource - is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics, can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.  This definition is from the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted on December 11, 2005.
 
 Inferred Mineral Resource - is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.  This definition is from the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted on December 11, 2005.
 
 Intrusionmeans a rock formed by having moved while in a molten state into pre-existing rocks.
 
 Limestone means a sedimentary rock consisting mainly of calcium that was deposited by the remains of marine animals.
 
 Maficmeans relating to or being a dark-coloured igneous group of minerals that have high magnesium and iron content.
 
 Mineral Resourcemeans a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic material in or on the Earth's crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.
 
 Mineralizationmeans the concentration of metals and their chemical compounds within a body of rock.
 
 Mudstonemeansa detrital sedimentary rock composed of clay-sized particles.
 
 Net Smelter Return and NSRmeansthe amount of the excess, if any, of Revenue, less Costs.  All or any exploration, development and mine construction costs and interest thereon are not to be charged or deducted from the NSR.
 
 NI 43-101means National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, as adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators effective December 30, 2005.
 
  117
  Paleoproterozoic means adjective implying conditions between 1.6 billon years ago and 2.5 billion years ago.
 
 Pyritemeansa cubic iron sulfide mineral with a brassy metallic luster that is used as an iron ore, as a source of sulfur, and in the production of sulfuric acid.
 
 Quartzmeans a mineral composed of silicon dioxide.
 
 Sandstonemeans a type of sedimentary rock made up of particles of sand, mostly quartz, bound together with a mineral cement, along with some feldspar, mica and rock debris.
 
 Shalemeansa fine-grained detrital sedimentary rock, formed by the compaction of clay, silt, or mud
 
 Siltstonemeans a form of fine-grained sandstone consisting of compressed silt.
 
 Soil samplingmeans the systematic collection of soil samples at a series of different locations in order to study the distribution of soil geochemical values.
 
 Stratigraphymeans Cultural remains and natural sediments become buried over time, forming strata.
