|Alluvial      | A general term for clay, silt, sand, gravel or similar unconsolidated detrital material deposited during comparatively recent geological time by a stream or other body of running water.                                                                       
|Alluvium      | Detrital deposits created by streams on riverbeds, flood plains and alluvial fans.  A deposit of silty clay laid down, often during periods of flooding.                                                                                                        
|Argillite     | A compact rock derived from mudstone or shale that is more highly indurated than either of these rocks.  Argillite also lacks the fissility of shale or the cleavage of slate.                                                                                  
|Arsenopyrite  | A tin-white or steel-gray orthorhombic mineral comprised of iron, arsenic and sulphur (FeAsS).  It commonly occurs in crystalline rocks as disseminations and within veins, often associated with lead and silver veins.  It is the principal ore of Arsenic.   
|Autochthonous | Rocks or materials which are presently located in their place of origin.                                                                                                                                                                                        
|Bornite       | A red-brown isometric mineral comprised of copper, iron and sulphur (Cu5FeS4).  Bornite readily tarnishes to iridescent blue or purple, often referred to as peacock ore.   It is an important Copper ore.                                                    
|Breccia       | A general term applied to rock formations consisting mainly of angular fragments hosted by a fine-grained matrix.                                                                                                                                               
|Calcareous    | The term calcareous, when applied to a rock name, implies that as much as 50% of the rock is comprised of calcium carbonate (Ca CO3).                                                                                                                           
|Chalcopyrite  | A bright brass-yellow tetragonal mineral comprised of copper, iron and sulphur (CuFeS2).  It commonly occurs as disseminations, veins and masses.  It is the principal ore of Copper.                                                                           
|Chargeability | An electrical survey parameter identifying the conductive nature of geologic units subjected to an introduced electrical charge.  In geophysical survey methods, chargeability is most often a measure of sulphide content as well as differing geologic units. 
|Chert         | A hard, dense, compact crytocrystalline sedimentary rock comprised chiefly of extremely fine grained interlocking crystals of quartz.  It displays a distinctive conchoidal fracture and occurs in a variety of colors.  The term flint is synonymous.          
|Coeval        | A term applying to items having the same age or date of origin.                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|Colluvial     | A general term applied to any loose, heterogeneous and incoherent mass of soil material or rock fragments deposited chiefly by mass-wasting, usually at the base of a steep slope or cliff.                                                                     
|Comagmatic    | Igneous rocks displaying a common set of chemical and mineralogical features.  As such, they are regarded as having derived from the same parent magma.                                                                                                         
|Conglomerate  | A coarse grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of rounded to sub-angular fragments larger than 2 millimetres in diameter, within a fine grained matrix of sand or silt.  It is commonly cemented by calcium carbonate, iron oxide, silica or hardened clay.

D.

Risk Factors



The following is a brief discussion of those distinctive or special characteristics of the Companys operations and industry which may have a material impact on, or constitute risk factors in respect of, the Companys future financial performance.



History of Net Losses; Accumulated Deficit; Lack of Revenue from Operations



The Company has incurred net losses to date.  Its deficit as of December 31, 2005 was $6,322,129.  The Company has not yet had any revenue from the exploration activities on its properties, nor has the Company yet found that development activity is warranted on any of its properties. Even if the Company does undertake development activity on any of its properties, the Company may continue to incur losses beyond the period of commencement of such activity.  There is no certainty that the Company will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.



Additional Funding Requirements; Uncertainty of Additional Financing



Cash flow from operations has not in the past, and is not expected in the next few years, to satisfy the Companys operational requirements and cash commitments.  In the past, the Company has relied on sales of debt and equity securities to meet most of its cash requirements. There can be no assurance that funding from these sources will be sufficient in the future to satisfy operational requirements and cash commitments.



Page 9













The Company now has sufficient financial resources to undertake preliminary exploration programs on certain of its existing properties.  However, the continued exploration and development of any property that the Company has or might acquire depends upon the Companys ability to obtain financing through any or all of the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing.  Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to forfeit its interest in any properties and reduce or terminate its operations on such properties.



Title Matters



While the Company has diligently investigated title to all exploration concessions and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all properties is in good standing; this should not be construed as a guarantee of title.  Other parties (including indigenous landowners) may dispute title to the exploration properties in which the Company has an interest or the right to acquire an interest.  The properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or aboriginal land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.



In particular, at the Mt. Kare Property in Papua New Guinea, there has been a complicated series of title disputes and litigation in recent years, which has in the past affected orderly exploration of the property. There can be no assurance that additional title disputes will not arise and in such event the Company's ability to explore and exploit the Mt. Kare Property could be adversely affected by factors unrelated to the geological potential of the property.  (For further detail, see Item 4D. Information on the Company - Property, Plants and Equipment - Mt. Kare Property.)



Under the terms of EL 1093, the exploration licence which comprises the Mt. Kare Property, the Government of Papua New Guinea may, at any time prior to commencement of mining, purchase up to a 30% equity interest in any mineral discovery on the property which would cause dilution of the Company's interest in this property.



Exploration Activities Inherently Risky



The business of exploring for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk.  Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  In developing its mineral deposits, the Company will be subjected to an array of complex economic factors and accordingly there is no assurance that a positive feasibility study or any projected results contained in a feasibility study of a mineral deposit will be attained.



Technical considerations, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, inability to obtain financing or other factors could cause delays in developing properties.  Such delays could materially and adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.



The business of mining is subject to a variety of risks such as cave-ins and other accidents, flooding, environmental hazards, the discharge of toxic chemicals and other hazards.  Such occurrences may delay production, increase production costs or result in liability.  However, the Company may become subject to liability for hazards against which it cannot insure itself or which it may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons.  In particular, the Company is not insured for environmental liability or earthquake damage.



Page 10













In order to develop properties which the Company might acquire, it may be necessary to build the necessary infrastructure facilities including, electricity, transportation, etc., the costs of which could be substantial.



Company at Exploration Stage Only; Limited Experience with Development-Stage Mining Operations



The Company has limited experience in placing resource properties into production, and its ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise.  There can be no assurance that the Company will have available to it the necessary expertise when and if the Company places its resource properties into production.



Competition



Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral property acquisition opportunities available.  As a result of this competition, some of which is with large, established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire additional attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Companys exploration and acquisition programs will result in any commercial mining operation.



Conflicts of Interest



Certain of the directors of the Company are directors of other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors of the Company, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  In accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.  In determining whether or not the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.

Stock Subject to Penny Stock Rules



The capital stock of the Company would be classified as penny stock as defined in Reg. § 240.3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act).  In response to perceived abuse in the penny stock market generally, the 1934 Act was amended in 1990 to add new requirements in connection with penny stocks.  In connection with effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker or dealer must give the customer a written risk disclosure document that (a) describes the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading, (b) describes the brokers or dealers duties to the customer and the rights and remedies available to such customer with respect to violations of such duties, (c) describes the dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices, (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary histories of brokers and dealers, and (e) defines significant terms used in the disclosure document or the conduct of trading in penny stocks.  In addition, the broker-dealer must provide to a penny stock customer a written monthly account statement that discloses the identity and number of shares of each penny stock held in the customers account, and the estimated market value of such shares.  The extensive disclosure and other broker-dealer compliance related to penny stocks may result in reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for such stocks, thus limiting the ability of the holder to sell such stock.



Environmental and Other Regulatory Requirements



The current or future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various governmental authorities and such operations are and will be subject to laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.  Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.  There can be no assurance that approvals and permits required to commence production on its various properties will be obtained.  Additional permits and studies, which may include  environmental impact studies conducted before permits can be obtained, may be necessary prior to operation of the properties in which the Company has interests and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to commence construction, development or operation of mining facilities at these properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs.



The Companys potential mining and processing operations and exploration activities are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environ­ment, prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters.  Such operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies and may require that the Company obtain permits from various governmental agencies.  The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to its activities.  There can be no assurance, however, that all permits the Company may require for construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations would not have a material adverse effect on any mining project the Company might undertake.



Page 12













Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, 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 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.



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



To the best of the Company's knowledge, it is currently operating in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations.



Dividends



All of the Company's available funds will be invested to finance the growth of the Company's business and therefore investors cannot expect and should not expect to receive a dividend on the Company's common shares in the foreseeable future.



Company's Officers and Directors Resident Outside US; Potential Unenforceability of Civil Liabilities and Judgments



The Company and substantially all of its officers and all of its directors are residents of countries other than the United States, and all of the Company's assets are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or enforce in the United States against such persons judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or state securities laws.



The Company believes that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was recognized by a Canadian court for such purposes.  However, there is doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon such laws.



If the Company is Unable to Successfully Develop and Subsequently Generate Sufficient Cash Flow from its Properties, the Company Could be Treated as a Passive Foreign Investment Company for US Tax Purposes, Possibly Resulting in Additional Taxes to Its US Stockholders and Less Liquidity for the Stock



Page 13













The Company, as a foreign corporation with US stockholders, could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for US tax purposes.  US stockholders owning shares of a PFIC can be subject to adverse tax consequences.  In general, the Company would be considered a PFIC if:  75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income such as dividends and interest; or, the average percentage of the Companys assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%.  A US stockholder owing shares of a PFIC, who does not make certain elections for tax purposes, is subject to an additional tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the common shares of the PFIC are owned.  Also, gain realized on the disposition of common shares of the PFIC would be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.  If US stockholders are subject to adverse tax consequences related to their ownership of the Companys stock, they might be less willing to acquire the stock, which could result in reduced market activity and liquidity for the stock.





ITEM 4.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY



A.

History and Development of the Company



The Company is an Alberta corporation in the business of the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, with the primary aim of developing them to a stage where they can be exploited at a profit. The Company does not currently have any production properties and its current operations relate to its efforts to acquire mineable deposits of minerals and undertake exploration activities on those properties. The Company is therefore presently in the exploration stage.



The Company was formed on December 1, 1998 by the amalgamation of TLT Resources Inc. (TLT) and Buffalo Diamonds Ltd. (BDL) pursuant to the provisions of the Alberta Business Corporations Act.  TLT was incorporated on January 30, 1992 in the Province of Alberta under the name 517003 Alberta Ltd.  On February 27, 1992, it changed its name to Tenga Laboratories Inc.  On August 6, 1998, it changed its name to TLT Resources Ltd. at which time its share capital was consolidated on a 1 for 10 basis.  BDL was formed on May 4, 1998 by the amalgamation of two non-reporting Alberta corporations pursuant to the provisions of the Alberta Business Corporations Act, Buffalo Diamonds Ltd. (incorporated on March 6, 1998 in the Province of Alberta) and 656405 Alberta Ltd. (incorporated on May 30, 1995 in the Province of Alberta).



The head office and principal office address of the Company is located at 1055 West Hastings Street, Suite 300, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9, Canada.  Its telephone number is 604-685-5492.



Red Property



In July 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with Gitennes Exportation Inc. (Gitennes) to acquire a 60% interest in six claims in the Omineca Mining Division in north-central British Columbia known as the Red Property, which is located 25 miles south of Northgates Kemess Mine.





Page 14













The Red Property is presently held under option by Gitennes that can acquire a 100% interest in the Red Property, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty.  In order to acquire its 60% interest in the underlying option, Buffalo must pay Gitennes $30,000 on regulatory approval, incur expenditures of $600,000 by July 15, 2007 of which $200,000 must be incurred by July 15, 2006, and must make property payments to the underlying vendor totalling $100,000 by July 15, 2007.  Thereafter, Buffalo and Gitennes will incur the balance of the $2,000,000 in expenditures required by the underlying option to be incurred by July 15, 2010 on a pro rata basis. In 2005, the Company paid $30,000 to Gitennes.



To December 31, 2005, the Company spent $37,001 purchasing its interest in the Red Property and a further $274,691 on exploration activities. The Company is currently reviewing results from the 2005 program to determine if it will carry our further exploration on the Red Property.



Mt. Kare



In October 2005, the Company was granted, subject to regulatory approval which was subsequently received, an option to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property, located in Papua New Guinea. The Mt. Kare Property is an epithermal gold deposit located in the highlands of Enga Province in Papua New Guinea



To December 31, 2005, the Company spent $185,833 purchasing its interest in Mt. Kare and a further $125,754 supporting a camp to be used as a base for exploration activities. The Company expects to spend at least $550,000 on option payments and $2 million on exploration activities in 2006.



Gold FX Limited



In February 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares of Gold FX Limited (Gold FX), a private Australian company that owns gold properties and uranium exploration properties in Australia. The Company acquired Gold FX for 4,000,000 common shares but has not established an exploration budget at the date of this annual report.



Murphy Ridge



In March 2006, the Company was granted an option by Global Discovery Pty. Limited (Global) to acquire a 100% interest in the Murphy Ridge uranium project in Australia. Buffalo has signed a binding letter of intent on the Murphy Ridge project and has paid Global an initial A$50,000 non-refundable payment that provides for a due diligence period expiring on October 11, 2006. On completion of the due diligence period, Buffalo can exercise its option and acquire 100% of the project by issuing Global 200,000 shares of Buffalo and agreeing to make a further payment of A$50,000 on the anniversary date of the option exercise.



Hannah 1



In May 2006, the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Hanna 1 Nickel-Copper-PGE Project from Mel Dalla Costa, subject to a 5% net profit royalty.  In order to acquire its 100% interest in the Hanna 1 Project, the Company must pay Mr. Dalla Costa A$275,000 and issue 550,000 shares of the Company over a period of five years, spending not less than A$50,000 on exploration by June 24, 2006 and paying Mr. Dalla Costa a final payment of A$20,000,000 on or before May 1, 2012.





Page 15













During and after the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company was primarily engaged in (1) completing the acquisition of the Red Property and organizing a drilling program on that property; (2) developing and implementing a drilling program for the Mt. Kare Property; and (3) undertaking the acquisition of Gold FX and the Murphy Ridge and Hannah One properties.



B.

Business Overview



Since the incorporation in March, 1998 of its predecessor company, Buffalo Diamonds Ltd. (BDL), the Company has been in the business of acquiring mineral properties.  See Item 4D. Information on the Company - Property, Plants and Equipment below.  The Companys objective is the acquisition, exploration, exploration management, development and sale of mineral properties, with the primary aim of developing properties to a stage where they can be exploited for a profit.



During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Company began pursuing gold exploration opportunities in the Peoples Republic of China. In March 2004, the Company concluded that difficulties in securing property rights in China made exploration infeasible. Since March 2004, the Company has evaluated mineral properties in Canada and other countries and has secured interests in the Red Property, Mt. Kare, Gold FX, Murphy Ridge and Hannah One properties, also described in Item 4A. To date, no major mineral findings have arisen as a result of exploration work on any of the Companys properties.



The current and future operations of the Company require various permits and approvals from various governmental authorities. Currently, the Companys exploration activities are taking place in British Columbia, Canada, where the principal governmental agency is the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines and in Papua New Guinea, where the principal governmental agency is Department of Mining.





C.

Organizational Structure



At December 31, 2005, the Company had no subsidiaries. At the date of this report, the Companys organizational structure is as follows:

D.

Property, Plants and Equipment



The Company does not currently own any material tangible fixed assets or leased properties. Its properties are in the exploration stage only and without a known body of commercial ore.



Mt. Kare Property



On October 20, 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with Longview Capital Partners Limited (Longview) to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property in Papua New Guinea. Longview holds an option from Madison Minerals Inc. (Madison) to acquire up to a 100% interest of Madisons 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property. Longview is beneficially owned by one of the Companys directors. One of the Companys directors is also a director and shareholder of Madison.



In order to acquire its interest in the Mt. Kare Property, the Company will assume Longviews obligations under its agreement with Madison as follows:

●

The Company will complete a preliminary feasibility study by January 4, 2007 and pay Madison, in cash or shares at Madison’s election, a total of $500,000 by October 1, 2006 on a quarterly basis to acquire a 49% interest in Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd. (“Madison PNG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Madison that is the holder of the Mt. Kare Property. The Company paid $100,000 to Madison in 2005 and a further $200,000 in 2006.

●

The Company can acquire a further 2% interest (51% in the aggregate) by paying, in cash or shares at the Company’s election, a further $500,000 on or before February 15, 2007.

●

The Company can acquire a further 14% interest in Madison PNG (65% in the aggregate) by completing a bankable final feasibility study by July 4, 2008.



After acquiring at least a 51% interest, the Company will have the right to acquire the balance of Madisons interest based on an independent valuation of Madisons remaining interest for cash or shares of the Company or a combination of both. If the Company elects not to acquire Madisons remaining interest, the Company and Madison will enter into a joint venture for the further development of the Mt. Kare Property.



Subject to regulatory approval, the Company will issue Longview 17,000,000 common shares at a deemed price of US$0.25 per share upon the Company having acquired the initial 49% interest in Madison PNG from Madison. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay Longview $200,000 in blocks of $50,000 upon signing of the acquisition agreement and every three months thereafter until paid. The Company paid $50,000 to Longview in 2005.



This acquisition required the approval of the Companys shareholders, which was subsequently granted at a special general meeting held on March 6, 2006.



Buffalo is advised that there has been a lengthy and complicated history of litigation in the courts of Papua New Guinea relating to the respective mineral rights under the mining license EL 1093 and the Mt. Kare Special Mining Lease 1 (SML 1) which has involved, in various proceedings, Kare-Puga Development Corporation Pty Limited (KDC), Oakland and Ramsgate Resources NL (Ramsgate) as well as the Government of Papua New Guinea, Carpenter Pacific Resources NL (Carpenter), an Australian public company, and Matu Mining Ltd. (Matu), which were previous license holders.  The Companys understanding of this history is as follows.



Page 17















KDC and Oakland had a number of agreements relating to the exploration and exploitation of the alluvial mineral rights and, purportedly, the hardrock mineral rights which KDC claimed had been granted to KDC pursuant to the SML 1. In 1996, Carpenter and Matu entered into a conditional settlement agreement with Ramsgate and Oakland Limited (Oakland) in order to settle all of the outstanding litigation relating to the Mt. Kare Property (the Settlement Agreement).  As a result, Oakland became a one-third shareholder in Matu; litigation unresolved at the time of execution of the Settlement Agreement relating to the Mt. Kare Property was discontinued by all parties; all rights of Oakland in respect of its agreements with KDC relating to SML 1 and the alluvial activities thereon were assigned to Matu (and subsequently Madison).



The Settlement Agreement was subject to various conditions precedent, including approval by KDC. KDC gave its approval in March 1996 and Matu informed Madison that the other conditions precedent under the Settlement Agreement have been fulfilled or waived.  As a result of the Settlement Agreement, all outstanding litigation was settled.  In April of 1998, Oakland sold its interest in Matu to Carpenter.



On March 20, 1998, Madison, Madison PNG, Carpenter, Matu, Ramsgate, Oakland and KDC entered into a joint venture agreement (the Joint Venture Agreement) to govern future exploration and development of the Mt. Kare Property; this agreement and Madisons interest in the Mt. Kare Property were both registered in April, 1998.   Madison, through its various subsidiaries, subsequently acquired a 100% legal interest in the Mt. Kare Property and it holds a 10% interest in the Mt. Kare Property in trust for KDC, resulting in Madison holding a 90% beneficial interest in the Mt. Kare Property.  KDC will, in turn, hold the interest in trust for the traditional landowners at Mt. Kare.



The Joint Venture Agreement is now only relevant to the extent that it defines the rights and obligations of Madison, and therefore the rights of and between Buffalo and KDC.  The Joint Venture Agreement provides that all costs up until the delivery of a feasibility report will be borne by Madison; KDC is obliged to pay its proportionate share of costs following the delivery of a feasibility report, failing which its interest will convert to a royalty interest equal to 10% of net profits. The Joint Venture Agreement received the ministerial approval required under the Mining Act of 1992 (Papua New Guinea) on April 17, 1998.



Location, Access and Physiography



Papua New Guinea (PNG) covers an area roughly the same size as the state of California. It has a population of about 4.5 million people, and it contains a number of large, well-established gold and gold/copper mines that are producing. The country lies directly east of Irian Jaya (Indonesia) and 160 kilometres due north of Australia. PNG is an independent democratic state with a government based on the British parliamentary system. The PNG government encourages mining and petroleum development, which dominate the national economy and provide 72% of export revenues. The Mt. Kare Property is comprised of exploration license EL1093, covering 220 square kilometres in the central highlands of mainland PNG at 3,000 metres above sea level. It is contiguous to the Porgera Mine property operated by Placer Dome. Current exploration work at Mt. Kare is helicopter supported; however a road leading to the Porgera Mine comes within three kilometres of the Mt. Kare Property boundary and a high voltage power transmission line running to the Porgera Mine crosses the southeastern corner of the Mt. Kare Property.



Page 18













Plant and Equipment



At present, there are no underground workings at the Mt. Kare Property. There are some camp structures that are not significant.



Regional and Local Geology



The country of PNG has been the site of many exploration successes which have produced world class mines such as Porgera, Panguna, Ok Tedi and Lihir. To understand the potential scale of the exploration target at the Mt. Kare Property, one can look at it's next door neighbor, the Porgera Mine. In addition to providing an effective exploration model, the close proximity and geologic similarities of the Porgera Mine to the Mt. Kare Property indicate the world class size potential of the Mt. Kare Property. The Porgera Mine opened in 1990 and as of December 2004, it was reported to still have proven and probable reserves of 58.37 Mt containing 7.31Moz. of gold. Placer Dome reported that 2005 planned production was 787,000 ounces of gold.



PNG forms part of an island arc; it is located in an area where plates of the earth's crust have interacted in recent geological times. The Mt. Kare Property and Porgera deposits occur at a point where large scale northwest-southeast structures running parallel to the island arc are intersected by the northeast-southwest trending Porgera Transfer Structure, a very important regional feature controlling gold mineralization in this area. The intersection of these two major structures has produced a conduit from the upper mantle along which a unique suite of mineralized mafic intrusives have risen. These mafic intrusive rocks are closely related to all known gold mineralization in this area. At both the Porgera Mine and Mt. Kare Property, epithermal gold mineralization is genetically related to a mafic intrusive complex which was emplaced within the Porgera Transfer Structure. The emplacement of these intrusives at the Mt. Kare Property and Porgera Mine produced zones of brecciation and shattered rock, providing a plumbing network through which mineralized fluids have circulated and deposited gold. Mafic intrusive rocks of the unique age and composition of those at Porgera and the Mt. Kare Property are not known to occur anywhere else in Papua New Guinea.



Mineralization



There are two distinct types of gold mineralization at Mt. Kare, both of which correspond directly with the two types of ore being mined at Porgera:



●

Early, mesothermal, carbonate-base metal-gold mineralization, which occurs in broad zones of brecciation which trend NE, paralleling the Porgera Transfer Structure. This type of mineralization has been defined in several zones at Mt. Kare and has been tested in trenches and numerous drill holes, such as hole 97 M-17.



●

Late stage, epithermal, very high grade quartz-roscoelite-gold mineralization. This style of mineralization is analogous to the bonanza high-grade gold mined underground at Porgera. The high grade quartz-roscoelite-gold mineralization occurs in fault controlled dilatant features occurring within and proximal to the breccia zones which host carbonate-base metal-gold mineralization. These dilatant features can occur in variable orientations within the Porgera Transfer Structure. At the Porgera Mine, bonanza high grade quartz-roscoelite-gold mineralization occurs in the east-west trending Roamane Fault.



Page 19













At both Mt. Kare and Porgera, much of the gold is tied-up in pyrite and is therefore refractory to conventional cyanide extraction. All ore at Porgera is processed in autoclaves to pressure oxidize the pyrite. Madison contracted the Placer Dome Research Laboratory to carry out initial metallurgical testing on the Mt. Kare mineralization. The results were very encouraging and achieved gold recoveries, after pressure oxidation, between 90.0 and 95.5%.



Mineralization defined to date at Mt. Kare occurs in the Western Roscoelite, Central, Black and C9 zones. The currently known high grade Quartz-Roscoelite-Gold mineralization at Mt. Kare occurs in the Western Roscoelite Zone, which strikes NNE and dips 65° to the east. The zone has now been traced along strike for over 700 metres by drilling and shows excellent continuity of mineralization. Soil geochemistry shows the surface trace of the Western Roscoelite Zone extending for up to 1,500 metres, and open along strike in both directions. Six hundred metres east of and sub-parallel to the Western Roscoelite Zone is the 1600 metre long multi-element Black Zone. It has now been traced over 500 metres by drilling and over 1,500 metres by soil geochemistry and trenching. The zone is still open down-dip. The Central Zone is a continuous, flat-lying, near surface mineralized zone lying between and above the Black and Western Roscoelite zones. It covers an area 300 metres wide by 600 metres long and remains open to expansion to the northeast. The total area of the surface expression of mineralized zones and untested anomalies at Mt. Kare now exceeds the surface area containing gold mineralization at the adjacent Porgera Mine.



Exploration History



Gold mineralization was first discovered on the Mt. Kare Property in 1986 by CRA Exploration during a regional stream sediment sampling program. At that time, Mt. Kare was an uninhabited subalpine valley where local people occasionally came to hunt. CRA's activities on the property attracted the attention of local people who found abundant alluvial and colluvial gold in the area. Over the next several years, a major gold rush took place on the property with an estimated one million ounces of gold being recovered from alluvial and colluvial deposits by up to 10,000 people working the field. CRA continued with its hardrock exploration program, including drilling 32 diamond drill holes. In addition, CRA acquired a portion of the alluvial gold rights through a joint venture with the local landowners, built a plant and started small scale production of colluvial and alluvial gold. However, carrying out exploration and alluvial mining in the middle of a major gold rush proved to be very difficult at Mt. Kare. Relations between CRA and the landowners deteriorated to a point where CRA decided to abandon the property and in 1993 it allowed its exploration license to lapse.



Exploration - Recent Results



Madison became involved in the Mt. Kare Property in 1996 and since then has completed 36,934 metres of diamond drilling, in addition to completing extensive programs of airborne and ground geophysics, soil geochemistry, mapping and trenching. As a result of this work, it proved possible to calculate a preliminary resource base for Mount Kare. This work was undertaken by the consulting company Watts, Grffis and McOuat and is tabulated below:



The existing geologic resource at Mt. Kare (using a 1.0 gm/t gold equivalent cut-off and with the cutting of high grade gold assays to 30 gm/t Au) is estimated to be:



|Resource Classification                                | Million Tonnes | g Au/t    | g Ag/t

The Mt. Kare Audit and Resource Estimate was prepared on behalf of Madison Enterprises Corporation by Watts Griffis and McOuat (WGM) in November of 1998 and updated by WGM in January of 2000, prior to the implementation of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (Canadian NI 43-101).  As such, this estimate is not compliant with current Canadian NI 43-101 standards. Although Buffalo considers this resource estimate to be an historic estimate only, Buffalo does consider the resource estimate to be relevant.





Proposed Exploration



During 2006, Buffalo intends to undertake the following work at Mt. Kare:



●

A pre-feasibility study to be carried out by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants. This study also involves:

○

A ~4,500 metre drilling program to better define the grade/tonnage characteristics of the well mineralized Western Roscoelite Zone



●

A refinement of the structural interpretation leading to:

○

An evaluation of the currently known but previously uninvestigated targets on the property.



Snowden expects the pre-feasibility study to take 300 man days over a period of 7 months to complete to final report status and that the deliverable date for the report is November 2006. Snowden will base the undertaking of the proposed work in its Vancouver office and will work closely with representatives of Buffalo Gold to ensure that the work is completed in a timely basis. Consultants from other Snowden offices and consulting groups will be utilized to ensure that the best team to complete the work is available.



Additionally, a desktop mining study is being performed by Snowden to quantify critical aspects of the project, and to define those aspects, which will require additional site investigation over the course of the PFS. Input from qualified experts in the areas of Environmental and Social Impacts, Process Technology, Surface Infrastructure Design, Geotechnical Design, and Mine Design has been reviewed and included in this proposal.



As part of Buffalo's pre-feasibility work, the in-fill drilling program on the Western Roscoelite Zone began in mid-February 2006. This program consists of approximately 4,500 metres of diamond drilling in 40 to 50 drill holes in order to reduce the spacing of the ore zone intersections to 30 metre centres. Buffalo is planning to have a minimum of 3,000 metres completed by the end of July. This will allow for a recalculation of the indicated and inferred resource categories and completion of a Canadian NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate that will form the basis of the pre-feasibility study anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. The pre-feasibility study, which will be undertaken by The Snowden Group, is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the characteristics of the Western Roscoelite Zone, which potentially is the higher grade portion of the Mt. Kare deposit.



In addition to the foregoing in-fill drilling, further exploration will be undertaken and will focus on the expansion of the boundaries of the known resource, both along strike and down dip.



Beyond the area of the known resource, numerous other target areas exist within the Mt. Kare Property and these will be explored concurrently with the drill campaign on the known resource to develop drill targets at these other areas.

Red Property, British Columbia, Canada



Stewart Harris, P. Geo., the Companys consulting geologist, is the qualified person responsible for the preparation of the technical information concerning the Red Property in this document.



The Company has, subject to regulatory approval, been granted an option to acquire a 60% interest in six claims in the Omineca Mining Division in north-central British Columbia known as the Red Property, located 40 kilometres south of Northgates Kemess Mine.  The Red Property is presently held under option by Gitennes Exploration Inc. (Gitennes), which can acquire a 100% interest in the Red Property, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty.  The Companys acquisition of an interest in the Red Property will be subject to the terms of the underlying option agreement.



In order to acquire its 60% interest in the underlying option agreement, the Company must pay Gitennes $30,000 on regulatory approval, incur expenditures of $600,000 by July 15, 2007, of which $100,000 must be incurred by July 15, 2006, and must make property payments to the underlying vendor totaling $150,000 by July 15, 2008.  Gitennes will remain responsible for the issuance of shares to the underlying vendor.  Upon the Company having incurred expenditures of $600,000, the Company and Gitennes will incur the balance of the $2,000,000 in expenditures required by the underlying option to be incurred by July 15, 2010 on a pro rata basis.  The Red Property is subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty that is capped at a maximum pay-out value of $12,000,000.



Location, Access and Physiography



The Red Property is accessible by helicopter from an unmaintained road accessing the McConnell Creek placer workings that passes approximately 5 kilometres west of the property.  This unmaintained road branches off the Omineca Resource Road (ORR) at approximately kilometres 119; the ORR is maintained year-round to service the Kemess Mine (located approximately 40 kilometres to the north) from the community of Mackenzie.  The power line that serves the Kemess Mine traverses alongside the ORR.  Regularly scheduled fixed wing aircraft service the Kemess Mine from Dease Lake, Prince George, Smithers and Vancouver.  The communities of Mackenzie, Smithers and Prince George are well-suited to provide logistical support and trained personnel.



The Red Property is drained by tributaries of Wrede Creek and the Ingenika River.  Topography on the property ranges from gentle to rugged and is largely above tree-line.  Elevations range from 1,470 metres in a west-flowing tributary of the Ingenika River to over 2,100 metres along the crest of a ridge traversing the Red 011 and Amber 2 claims.  The property area is subject to a continental climate featuring short warm summers and long cold winters.  The property is snow-free in late June and can be worked until late October.



Plant and Equipment



At present, there is no underground or surface plant or equipment on the Red Property.







Page 22













Regional and Local Geology



The Red Property is located within the Intermontane Belt in the northwest-trending rocks of the Quesnel Terrane.  This terrane, along with the bordering Stikine Terrane, is composed of rocks representing an intraoceanic volcanic-sedimentary arc.  In this area, the Quesnel Terrane is separated from the Stikine Terrane to the west by the Pinchi-Ingenika-Finlay fault system.  The Quesnel Terrane is bounded on the east by Pre-Cambrian and younger, more strongly deformed Cassiar Terrane pericratonic rocks of the Omineca Belt.  The Quesnel and Stikine Terranes comprise subduction-related calc-alkaline and alkaline Triassic-Jurassic Takla and Triassic Nicola Group (Quesnellia), and Triassic Stuhini Group (Stikinia) volcanic rocks.



The structure of the area is dominated by a series of north-northwest trending faults.  These faults, such as the dextral strike-slip Swannell and Pinchi-Ingenika-Finlay fault systems, form terrane boundaries between the Stikine, Quesnel and Cassiar Terranes.  These faults define a prominent northwest fabric and are cut by northeast-trending faults in the vicinity of the Kemess deposits.  Intrusions in the area are commonly aligned with these faults, particularly the northwest set, suggesting that they acted as loci for the ascent of magma and probably also acted as conduits for hydrothermal alteration and mineralization.



The geology of the Red Property is characterized by a northwest-trending structural corridor that controls the emplacement of a broadly dioritic intrusive complex.  This structural corridor is defined by North Lineament-South Lineament Creeks and Bird-North Canyon Creeks; the dioritic intrusions and particularly the more altered and porphyritic varieties are located between these two drainage systems.  The intrusions are likely related to the Early Jurassic Fleet Peak pluton.  A significant mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex has also been mapped along the Bird-North Canyon Creek system.  These intrusions are emplaced into Takla Group andesites and sediments.  The Takla Group is represented on the property by andesite flows, andesite to dacite tuffs and fine-grained sediments.  Andesite flows are typically medium to dark green, massive to porphyritic but lacking well-developed flow textures.  Phenocrysts are variable with respect to species and abundance, with euhedral augite and hornblende crystals up to 5 millimetres across being the most common, comprising up to 40% of the rock.  Feldspar phenocrysts are also present.  Tuffaceous rocks vary from ash and crystal tuffs to andesite lapilli tuff and minor lapilli tuff breccia.  The finer-grained tuffaceous rocks are more prevalent structurally higher in the section and grade into a sequence of sediments.  The fine-grained tuffs vary from andesitic to dacitic in composition, although this may be a manifestation of alteration.



Mineralization



The Red Property hosts porphyry copper-gold mineralization. The most significant alteration and mineralization on the Red Property is observed in drilling where copper-gold±molybdenum mineralization is associated with sericite, silica, and quartz veining.  This alteration is best developed within porphyritic intrusions, but is also developed within andesite.  Also of importance on the Red Property is the mafic-ultramafic complex that is related to anomalous copper-cobalt-nickel-platinum group soil geochemistry.  Mineralization in the mafic-ultramafic complex is limited to cross-cutting quartz-sulphide veining and fracture-controlled pyrrhotite in melanodiorite, disseminated and sheeted magnetite±serpentine± chrysotile veinlets in gabbro-pyroxenite, and iron carbonate-quartz±mariposite veining in sheared gabbro-pyroxenite.  Quartz-sulphide veins have also been noted throughout the property and have returned significant copper, gold, silver and molybdenum values.  They are typically associated with chloritic shear zones that are up to approximately 30 centimetres wide, are sub-vertical and strike northwesterly for tens of metres.

Exploration History



Exploration in the area of the Red Property commenced in the 1930s when the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company staked some of the prominent gossans and copper- and gold-bearing quartz veins.  Placer mining was also undertaken in nearby McConnell Creek.  The area was reinvestigated in the 1960s for porphyry copper style mineralization.



From 1968 to 1969, Cominco Ltd. carried out soil sampling, geological mapping and prospecting and drilled five holes totalling 303.9 metres, intersecting anomalous copper values in four of the five holes.  In 1977, Cominco undertook a program of ground geophysics, comprised of 14 line-kilometres of time domain induced polarization (IP)/resistivity and magnetics over a grid with 250- and 125-metre line spacings.



In 1973, Union Miniere Explorations and Mining Corporation Limited (UMEX) carried out grid soil sampling and ground magnetics surveying over a portion of the Red Property.  UMEX followed up this program in 1974 with one drill hole to a depth of 61.6 metres that intersected propylitically-altered intermediate volcanics with pyrite and locally traces of malachite.



In 1974, BP Minerals Limited (BP) carried out geological mapping, grid and contour soil sampling, geochemical stream and seep sediment sampling, and ground magnetic and induced polarisation surveys over a portion of the Red Property. BP followed up this program with two drill holes totalling 285.3 metres in 1975.  From 1976 to 1977, BP carried out soil sampling, overburden drilling and geophysical surveying over a portion of the Red Property.  BP undertook a follow-up program of additional deep overburden sampling and IP-resistivity surveying in 1978.  In 1981, BP carried out rock chip sampling on the same area.



BP Resources Canada Limited and Cominco Ltd. undertook a comprehensive geological, geochemical, geophysical and diamond drilling program over a portion of the Red Property in 1984.  Geological mapping, limited rock and soil geochemical sampling, EM, magnetics and IP surveying were conducted.  This was followed up by 1,003.5 metres of drilling in seven holes that were assayed for gold and copper.  Drilling intersected a variety of andesitic tuffs and porphyritic andesite intruded by diorite, diorite porphyry, quartz diorite porphyry and hornblende porphyry dykes.  Alteration includes bleaching, phyllic-argillic and propylitic alteration, and silicification.  Propylitic alteration is more prevalent within andesitic rocks while phyllic alteration is developed preferentially within dioritic intrusions.  Pyrite mineralization is common throughout as veinlets and fractures with lesser fracture-controlled chalcopyrite, and molybdenite with quartz veinlets.



In 2001, Brett Resources Inc. carried out limited rock and stream sediment sampling in conjunction with geological mapping.  In 2002, Solomon Resources Limited conducted a program of IP surveying over a portion of the Red Property.



In 2004, Gitennes carried out a two-phase program on the Red Property.  The first phase comprised geological mapping, prospecting, follow-up grid and contour soil sampling and IP surveying.  The second phase comprised two diamond drill holes totalling 448.7 metres to follow-up IP and geochemical anomalies.







Page 24













Exploration - Recent Results



In the fall of 2005, Buffalo undertook a program of diamond drilling to further test the structural corridor that hosts this mineralization and its associated geophysical and geochemical anomalies at a cost of $275,000. The phase one drill program consisted of four drill holes totaling 626 metres that tested three separate targets within the main target area, as detailed below:

●

Drill hole R05-01 was collared to test a coincident IP chargeability anomaly and copper-in-soil geochemical anomaly approximately 150 metres northwest of drill hole R04-14. The hole was targeted to test the possible northwestern extension of the mineralized zone intersected in hole R04-14 (36.5 metres of 0.26% copper and 0.12 g/t gold). Drill hole R05-01 intersected alteration and mineralization similar to drill hole R04-14, however, the visible Chalcopyrite content was less than noted in hole R04-14. The drill hole returned 16.0 metres of 0.20% copper and 98 ppb silver.

●

Drill hole R05-02 tested a northwest trending gold and copper MMI anomaly that lies immediately south of and sub parallel to the main trend of copper mineralization intersected in previous drilling. This hole returned 9.6 metres of 0.085% copper and 50 ppb silver.

●

Drill holes R05-03 and R05-04 were collared to test the south-west trending contact zone between the ultramafic intrusive unit to the southwest and dioritic intrusive and Takla volcanic rocks to the northeast. Hole R05-03 intersected anomalous intervals of nickel mineralization while hole R05-04 intersected the following significant intervals: 22.5 metres of 0.11% copper and 24 ppb silver: 47.9 metres of 0.16% copper and 45 ppb silver; 9.0 metres of 0.53% copper and 266 ppb silver; 15.0 metres of 0.17% copper and 60 ppb silver.

In all cases above, there is insufficient information to determine whether intervals represent true widths.



Proposed Exploration



The Company is currently reviewing results from the 2005 program to determine if it will carry our further exploration on the Red Property, but has not yet reached a decision.



Gold FX Property, Australia



On February 3, 2006, the Company entered into a letter of intent, which was superseded by a February 28, 2006 agreement to acquire all of the shares of Gold FX Ltd. (Gold FX), a private Australian junior resource company, for issuance of 4,000,000 shares of the Companys stock to all of the shareholders in Gold FX. Gold FX owns gold exploration properties and uranium exploration properties in Australia.



The Gold FX gold exploration properties are located in the Drummond Basin and Croydon Goldfields in Queensland and its uranium exploration properties are in the Georgetown area of Queensland, known gold and uranium fields, and the Amadeus basin of the Northern Territory.



Gold FX recognized an opportunity for exploration companies to drill deeper within known goldfields and utilize modern techniques to assess previously under-explored areas. Gold FX has an exploration strategy of exploring for gold and uranium mineralization associated with radiometric granites using modern radiometrics data.



Page 25













Gold FX will focus on the discovery of large, intrusive related gold and uranium deposits within the large permit areas using modern geophysical techniques, geochemical sampling and drilling.  Gold FX began field exploration in April 2006, but has not received any results to date.





Murphy Ridge Property, Australia



On March 15, 2006, the Company was granted an option by Global Discovery Pty. Limited (Global), a private Australian company, to acquire a 100% interest in the Murphy Ridge uranium project in the north east Northern Territory, Australia. The Company has a binding letter of intent on the Murphy Ridge uranium project and has paid Global the initial A$50,000 non-refundable payment that provides for a due diligence period that expires on October 11, 2006. On completion of the due diligence period, the Company can exercise its option and acquire 100% of the project by issuing 200,000 shares to Global and agreeing to make a further payment of A$50,000 on the anniversary date of the option exercise.



The Murphy Ridge Project is within the same tectonic area and along the strike from Laramide Resources Westmoreland Project in Queensland. The Murphy Ridge Project comprises two strategically placed exploration permits totalling approximately 2,300 square kilometres.  The target is unconformity style uranium with a setting analogous to the world-class Ranger and Jabiluka Mines, also in the Northern Territory. The Company has not yet carried out any exploration on the Murphy Ridge Project but is planning to fly an airborne EM survey in mid-2006 to define the prospective host package under thin younger cover sediments.  This will be followed by drill testing of resultant targets later in the year



Hannah One Property, Australia



On May 1, 2006, the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Hanna 1 Nickel-Copper-PGE Project from Mel Dalla Costa, subject to a 5% net profit royalty.  In order to acquire its 100% interest in the Hanna 1 Project, the Company must pay Mr. Dalla Costa A$275,000 and issue 550,000 shares of the Company over a period of five years, spending not less than A$50,000 on exploration by June 24, 2006 and paying Mr. Dalla Costa a final payment of A$20,000,000 on or before May 1, 2012.



The Hanna 1Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, previously explored by BHP Minerals, is located 400 kilometres south east of Kalgoorlie and includes a large gravity and magnetic anomaly interpreted to be part of a large magmatic complex and considered an excellent target for Voiseys Bay, Norilsk and Jinchuan-style nickel sulphide deposits.  The Company is presently formulating its exploration plans for the Hanna 1 Project.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS



A.

Operating Results



Year Ended December 31, 2005



In this discussion of Buffalos results of operations and financial condition, financial amounts, other than per-share amounts, have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.



The loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,400,000 compared to a loss of $81,000 in the prior year. Buffalo spent $1,419,000 on operations, $1,214,000 of which was spent in the fourth quarter. For the first two quarters of 2005, the Company was relatively inactive as it evaluated prospective properties. The large increase in expenditures in the year ended December 31, 2005 reflects the reactivation of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange, exploration activity on the Mt. Kare and Red Properties, along with consulting fees and stock-based compensation.



The Company spent $275,000 on a drilling program for the Red Property and $126,000 maintaining the Mt. Kare Property.  Administrative expenses increased from $154,000 in 2004 to $1,018,000 in 2005. The largest elements of the increase were stock-based compensation (2005 - $661,000; 2004 - $nil) and consulting fees (2005 - $151,000; 2004 - $33,000). Consulting fees increased as new management staff were hired.



There were several other income and expense items that were not of a recurring nature. The Company recorded a $14,000 gain on the settlement of accounts payable and a $58,000 gain on the settlement of a loan payable. In 2004, the Company accrued a $95,000 gain on recovery of evaluation and due diligence costs.  By December 31, 2005, the Company had collected only half this amount and provided for the balance ($48,000) as being uncollectible. The Company continues to seek payment of this amount.



At December 31, 2005, the Company had total assets of $3,801,000 as compared to $207,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase is due primarily to cash generated from private placements, less amounts spent on operations and settlement of debts. On a net basis, operations for the year consumed cash of $507,000 compared to $18,000 in 2004. The operating loss of $1,400,000 was the largest element of cash flows from operating activities, offset by non-cash items including stock-based compensation ($661,000), the gain on settlement of loans payable ($58,000) and the provision for doubtful collection of a note receivable ($48,000) and by net working capital cash flows, including a $277,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which did not require cash flow.



Buffalo generated $4,121,000 from financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2005, with $3,446,000 of that happening in the fourth quarter. Proceeds from private placements of $4,482,000 were offset by share issue costs of $325,000 and the Company used $36,000 to repay loans payable.



The Company used $227,000 of cash in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2005, with $222,000 being used in the purchase of exploration properties.



In aggregate, the Company generated cash of $3,386,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005, of which $2,990,000 was generated in the fourth quarter. The Company had a cash balance of $3,542,000 at December 31, 2005.



Page 27













The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,400,000 or $0.14 per share as compared with a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $81,000 or $0.02 per share.



Year Ended December 31, 2004



In our discussion of results of operations and financial condition, amounts, other than per-share amounts, have been rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.



In the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred expenses of $154,000 supporting its operations, down from $800,600 in the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company was active in China during the third quarter of 2003, but following termination of its Chinese activities in early 2004, the Company incurred fewer expenses. Most expenses were significantly lower than in 2003, with consulting fees down from $161,200 to $33,100, property investigation costs down from $294,300 to $nil and professional fees down from $122,300 to $63,700. The decline in expenses reflected the lower level of corporate activity after the Chinese activities stopped.



The Company incurred interest expense of $52,200 on loans payable. Of this amount, $22,300 is a recurring expense expected to continue until the loan was paid out and $29,900 relates to a share bonus payable in connection with the loan. Subsequent to year end, the Company reached a settlement with the holders of the loans payable.



In 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an interest in certain gold properties in the Peoples Republic of China from Terrawest Resource Holdings Ltd. The Company conducted property evaluations and due diligence in 2003. In March 2004, the agreement effectively ended when Terrawest received a notice from its Chinese partners terminating Terrawests underlying agreement on the subject properties.  The Company agreed to abandon any claim against Terrawest in consideration of Terrawest and its principals providing two joint and several promissory notes totalling $100,000.  The promissory notes, each for $50,000, fell due on July 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 respectively, bearing interest at the rate of 10% per year after their due dates. The present value of these promissory notes was $95,000 at the date of issue. This amount was recognized as a recovery of property evaluation and due diligence costs in the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The Company collected $50,000 on July 30, 2004 and $2,500 in April 2005. In 2004, the Company recognized interest of $5,100, being the implicit interest earned at a rate of 10% from March 31, 2004.



The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $80,700 or $0.02 per share as compared with a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 of $960,400 or $0.28 per share.



At December 31, 2004, the Company had total assets of $207,100 as compared to $47,500 at December 31, 2003. The increase was due primarily to funds received from a private placement, which generated net proceeds of about $140,000, the remaining note receivable, $50,000, less receivables collected and prepaid expenses drawn down in the period. The Companys operations in 2004 were primarily financed by the collection of one of the Terrawest notes, by directors and officers deferring payment of amounts due and by the deferral of interest on the loans payable.  On a net basis, operations consumed cash of $17,500 compared to $606,700 in 2003.





Page 28













The Company did not have any cash flows from investing activities in the years ended December 31, 2004 or 2003. In the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company generated net cash of $19,800 from the exercise of share purchase warrants and $140,100 from a private placement (net of offering costs of $6,100). In 2003, the Company generated $461,200 from the proceeds of private placements and the exercise of share purchase warrants and borrowed $152,100.



In aggregate, the Company generated cash of $142,400 in 2004 and had a cash balance of $155,300 at December 31, 2004.



Year Ended December 31, 2003



During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded interest income of $12, wrote off receivables of $19,300 and wrote off its Calling Lake and Varlaam exploration properties which had a book value of $140,500 as BHP Billiton did not renew its option as joint venture partner and the Company was unable to find another joint venture partner. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded interest income of $74, a gain on the settlement of accounts payable of $48,900 and a write-off of exploration properties of $2,832,700.



Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 were $800,600, up from $187,700 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.  This increase is due primarily to due diligence costs incurred in connection with the proposed acquisition of various mineral properties in the Peoples Republic of China. The Company spent $294,300 on property evaluation and due diligence; the bulk of this amount related to the Terrawest properties, as discussed above.  The Company has abandoned these proposed acquisitions as the Companys joint venture partners were unable to secure the properties.



The net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 was $960,400 or $0.28 per share as compared with a net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 of $2,971,400 or $1.42 per share (after making adjustment for the one for ten consolidation of the Companys share capital during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003).

●

In December 2005, the Company completed a private placement of 9,251,858 units at US$0.35 per unit for gross proceeds of $3,741,000. Each unit comprised one common share and a half-warrant to purchase a common share at US$0.50 for a period of two years from the closing date. The Company incurred cash offering costs of $299,000, paid 120,000 common units with a value of $49,000 as a corporate finance fee and paid 49,275 units with a value of $20,000 as an agents fee. In addition, the Company issued 693,889 broker warrants with a fair value of $194,000. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using volatility of 155%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.98% and an expected life of two years with a dividend rate of 0%.  These funds, in combination with cash on hand and the proceeds on realization of a note receivable, have been, or will be, used to develop the Red Property, maintain the Mt. Kare Property and finance general and administrative expenses.

●

In April 2006, the Company completed a brokered private placement of 3,565,000 units at a price of US$1.00 per unit to generate gross proceeds of US$3,565,000 to fund exploration work and for working capital. Each unit consists of one common share and one half common share purchase warrant with each full warrant having an exercise price of US$1.25 for a period of two years from the closing date. The Company paid a 7.5% commission, 3,565,000 brokers warrants on the same terms as the financing warrants and other administration and corporate finance fees.

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2005, Buffalo completed the following transactions:

●

Directors and officers, or their companies, agreed to settle accounts payable by the Company of $280,000 in exchange for common shares at US$0.15 (approximately $0.18 at the time) per share, which resulted in the issuance of 600,688 common shares.

●

The holders of loans payable agreed to settle the principal amount of their debt for 25% in cash and 75% in common shares at US$0.15 (approximately $0.18 at the time). The loan holders also agreed to waive interest on the loans and the common share bonuses. This settlement resulted in the issuance of 1,538,910 common shares.

At December 31, 2005, the Companys working capital position was $3,112,000.



The Company holds a note receivable for $47,500 that is in default. Although the note is secured by personal guarantees from individuals who are believed to have liquid assets sufficient to satisfy the note receivable, the Company provided for the doubtful collection of this amount in the quarter ended December 31, 2005.



Following the purchase of an interest in the Mt. Kare Property, the Company will require additional financing during the next 12 months to continue its operations and exploration.



There are no restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company. The Company has not made any commitments for capital expenditures, although it must make minimum option payments and incur minimum exploration expenditures in respect of its properties if it wishes to maintain its options:

Page 30













In addition, the Company is committed to issuing common shares, as discussed in Item 4D. Property, Plants and Equipment  Mt. Kare Property.



Apart from the initiatives discussed above, the Company is not aware of any trends, commitments or events that may affect its liquidity in the foreseeable future. Material increases or decreases in the Company's liquidity will be substantially determined by the success or failure of raising additional funds through private placements and its planned exploration on the Red Property, Mt. Kare Property, the properties owned by Gold FX, and the Murphy Ridge Property.



Outlook



We expect that expenses will increase in future quarters as the Company undertakes further exploration activity and incorporates Gold FX and Murphy Ridge into its operations. The preliminary exploration budget for the Mt. Kare Property is approximately $1,000,000 over the next 12 months, although this budget is being refined and may change materially. The preliminary exploration budget for the Red Property over the next 12 months has not been developed. The Company has not yet developed a budget for the Gold FX or Murphy Ridge properties.

The Companys audit committee is comprised of J.G. Stewart, Douglas Turnbull and Damien Reynolds. The audit committee is appointed by the board of directors and its members hold office until removed by the board of directors or until the next annual general meeting of the Company, at which time their appointments expire and they are then eligible for re-appointment.  The audit committee operates under the terms of an audit committee charter. In summary, the audit committee reviews the audited financial statements of the Company and liaises with the Companys auditors and recommends to the board of directors whether or not to approve such statements.  At the request of the Companys auditors, the audit committee must convene a meeting to consider any matters which the auditor believes should be brought to the attention of the board of directors or the shareholders of the Company.



The complete audit committee charter follows:



STATEMENT OF POLICY



The purpose of the audit committee is to assist the board of directors (the Board) in discharging its responsibilities with respect to the accounting policies, internal controls, and financial reporting of Buffalo Gold Ltd. (the Company). The audit committee is also responsible for monitoring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, standards of ethical business conduct, and the systems of internal controls. The audit committee shall have the authority to retain special legal, accounting, or other consultants to advise the audit committee. The audit committee may request any officer or employee of the Company, or the Companys outside counsel or independent auditor to attend a meeting of the audit committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the audit committee.



MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS



The audit committee shall conform to the requirements of the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange in effect from time to time, and comprise at least three directors, of whom a majority are not employees. Audit committee members will be appointed annually.



RESPONSIBILITIES



The primary responsibility for financial and other reporting, internal controls and compliance with laws and regulations and ethics rests with the management of the Company. However, the board of directors has determined that:



A.

The audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the Companys independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company.



B.

Any engagement of the independent auditor to perform services other than audit, review and attest services must be approved by the audit committee. In order to safeguard the independence of the auditor, for any proposed non-audit engagement: (i) management and the auditor must affirm to the audit committee that the proposed non-audit service is not prohibited by applicable laws, rules or regulations; (ii) management must describe the reasons for hiring the auditor to perform the services; and (iii) the auditor must affirm to the audit committee that it is qualified to perform the services.



Page 36













C.

The Companys independent auditor shall report directly to the audit committee.



D.

The audit committee is responsible for resolving any disagreements between the Companys management and independent auditor regarding financial reporting.



E.

F.

The audit committee may engage independent counsel and other advisers as it determines necessary to carry out its duties.



G.

The audit committee may use funds from the Company to (i) compensate any independent auditor engaged by the audit committee for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company, (ii) compensate any advisers employed by the audit committee, and (iii) pay for any ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary to carry out its duties.



SPECIFIC DUTIES



The audit committee has the following specific duties and reporting requirements:



1.

The audit committee shall meet on a regular basis and call special meetings as circumstances require.



2.

The audit committee shall report its activities to the Board on a regular basis, such as after each meeting, so that the Board is kept informed of its activities on a current basis.



3.

Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.



4.

Review and recommend to the Board the independent auditors to be selected to audit the financial statements of the Company, its divisions and its subsidiaries, if any.



5.

Receive periodic reports and/or disclosures from the independent auditors delineating all relationships with the Company, review any disclosed relationships that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditors, and recommend that the Board take appropriate action in response to the independent auditors report to satisfy itself of the auditors independence.



6.

Approve the fees of the independent auditors budgeted for each year.



7.

Evaluate the performance of the independent auditors.



8.

Review with management and the independent auditors, the Companys periodic financial statements, related footnotes and managements discussion and analysis.

13.

Provide sufficient opportunity for the independent auditors to meet with the members of the audit committee without members of management present. Among the items to be discussed in these meetings are the independent auditors evaluation of the Corporations financial, accounting, and auditing personnel, and the cooperation that the independent auditors received during the course of the audit.



14.

Review, with the Companys outside counsel when appropriate, any legal matters that may have a material impact on the organizations financial statements, the Companys compliance policies and any material reports or inquiries received from regulators or governmental agencies.



15.

Review with the independent auditor any problems or difficulties the auditors may have encountered and any management letter provided by the auditor and the Companys response to that letter. Such review should include any difficulties encountered in the course of the audit work including any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to required information.



16.

Advise the Board with respect to the Companys policies and procedures regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations and with the Corporations by-laws and other adopted policies and procedures.



17.

The audit committee shall instruct the independent auditors that, if any significant problems are uncovered or if there are any areas that require its special attention, the chairman of the audit committee is to be so advised.



18.

The audit committee shall obtain from management explanations for all significant variances in the financial statements between years. The audit committee should consider whether the data are consistent with periodic managements discussion and analysis (MD&A).

|1.                | Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In computing the number of shares owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, common shares subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of May 9, 2006, are deemed outstanding.  Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.  This table has been prepared based on 30,117,332 common shares outstanding as of May 9, 2006.
|2.                | Common shares held through Longview Investments Limited in which Mr. Reynolds owns a beneficial interest. Longview Capital Partners Limited, another company in which Mr. Reynolds owns a beneficial interest, is also eligible, subject to regulatory approval, to receive 17,000,000 common shares of the Company once the Company acquires a 49% interest in the Mt. Kare Property. This calculation does not take account of the 17,000,000 shares potentially issuable to Longview Capital Partners Limited.

A.

Major Shareholders



The following table sets forth the share ownership of those persons holding greater than 5% of the Companys common shares:



|Name                             | Number of Common
Shares Held
at May 9, 2006 | Percentage of
Common Shares
Outstanding
at May 9, 2006
|-------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------
|                                 |                                             |                                                       
|Firebird Global Master Fund Ltd. | 4,000,000                                   | 13.3%                                                 
|                                 |                                             |                                                       
|CDS & Co.                        | 18,872,516                                  | 62.7%                                                 
|                                 |                                             |                                                       
|Total:                           | 22,872,516                                  | 75.9%                                                 



There were no material changes in the major shareholdings from 2003 to 2004, but the major shareholdings did change significantly from 2004 to 2005. The main reason for the change was a series of private placements undertaken by the Company that resulted in the Company issuing 15.7 million shares in 2005. In our 2004 annual report, we reported that Affaires Financiers SA held 8.9% of the issued common shares; it is not known if Affaires Financiers SA still owned any common shares at May 9, 2006.  No major shareholder has been awarded any special or different voting rights.



To the knowledge of the Company, it is not controlled by another corporation, any foreign government or by any other natural or legal persons severally or jointly. The Company is not aware of any arrangement that could result in a change in control of the Company. The Company has however committed, in certain circumstances, to issue 17,000,000 common shares to Longview Capital Partners (see Item 4D. Property Plants and Equipment  Mt. Kare Property). While this share issuance would not result in Longview Capital Partners owning more than 50% of the Companys issued shares, it could result in a change in effective control of the Company.



As at May 9, 2006 there were 30,117,332 common shares of the Company issued and outstanding.  Based on the records of the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, of 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, as at May 9, 2006, there were seven registered holders of the Company's common shares resident in the United States, holding an aggregate 371,948 common shares, including 276,908 shares held by Cede & Co. This number represents approximately 1% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at May 9, 2006.



B.

Related Party Transactions



In the period since the beginning of the Companys preceding three financial years, up to the date of this document, the Company has not entered into any loans with directors, officers or other related parties except for expense advances in the ordinary course of business.



The Company has entered into the following transactions that are material to the Company.

|Consulting fees                             | $ 110,000 | $  25,000 | $  94,000
|Property evaluation and due diligence costs | -         | -         | 174,374  
|Professional fees                           | 49,500    | -         | 97,019   
|Share issue costs                           | 5,500     | -         | -        
|Exploration property                        | 6,250     | -         | -        
|Rent and office costs                       | 7,775     | 12,000    | 22,000   



Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2005 is $25,000 (2004 - $158,082) due to a law firm controlled by a director and $38,427 (2004 - $173,818) due to consulting companies controlled by directors, an officer and a former director. During 2005, the Company settled accounts payable due to related parties of $280,743 through the issuance of 1,538,910 common shares.



These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the

exchange value, which represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.



Mt. Kare Property



On October 20, 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with Longview Capital Partners Limited to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property in Papua New Guinea. Longview holds an option from Madison to acquire up to a 100% interest of Madisons 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property. Longview is beneficially owned by one of the Companys directors. One of the Companys directors is also a director and shareholder of Madison.

In order to acquire its interest in the Mt. Kare Property, the Company will assume Longview’s obligations under its agreement with Madison as follows:



●

The Company will complete a preliminary feasibility study by January 4, 2007 and pay Madison, in cash or shares at Madisons election, a total of $500,000 by October 1, 2006 on a quarterly basis to acquire a 49% interest in Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd. (Madison PNG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Madison that is the holder of the Mt. Kare Property. The Company paid $100,000 to Madison in 2005 and a further $200,000 in 2006.

●

The Company can acquire a further 2% interest (51% in the aggregate) by paying, in cash or shares at the Company’s election, a further $500,000 on or before February 15, 2007.

●

The Company can acquire a further 14% interest in Madison PNG (65% in the aggregate) by completing a bankable final feasibility study by July 4, 2008.



After acquiring at least a 51% interest, the Company will have the right to acquire the balance of Madisons interest based on an independent valuation of Madisons remaining interest for cash or shares of the Company or a combination of both. If the Company elects not to acquire Madisons remaining interest, the Company and Madison will enter into a joint venture for the further development of Mt. Kare.



Page 40













Subject to regulatory approval, the Company will issue Longview 17,000,000 common shares at a deemed price of US$0.25 per share upon the Company having acquired the initial 49% interest in Madison PNG from Madison. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay Longview $200,000 in blocks of $50,000 on signing of the acquisition agreement and every three months thereafter until paid.

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of the Companys common shares.  Any remittances of dividends to United States residents are, however, subject to a 15% withholding tax (5% if the shareholder is a corporation owning at least 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company) pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States.  See Item 10E. Additional Information  Taxation below.



Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the Act), which has provisions which govern the acquisition of a control block of voting shares by non-Canadians of a corporation carrying on a Canadian business, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the common shares of the Company under the laws of Canada or the Province of British Columbia or in the charter documents of the Company.



Management of the Company considers that the following general summary fairly describes those provisions of the Act pertinent to an investment in the Company by a person who is not a Canadian resident (a non-Canadian).



The Act requires a non-Canadian making an investment which would result in the acquisition of  control of the Canadian business to notify the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada, the federal agency created by the Act; or in the case of an acquisition of a Canadian business, the gross value of the assets of which exceeds certain threshold levels or the business activity of which is related to Canadas cultural heritage of national identity, to file an application for review with the Investment Review Division.



Page 45













The notification procedure involves a brief statement of information about the investment on a prescribed form which is required to be filed with Investment Canada by the investor at any time up to 30 days following implementation of the investment.  Once the completed notice has been filed, a receipt bearing the certificate date will be issued to the non-Canadian investor.  The receipt must advise the investor either that the investment proposal is unconditionally non-reviewable or that the proposal will not be reviewed as long as notice of review is not issued within 21 days of the date certified under the receipt.  It is intended that investments requiring only notification will proceed without government intervention unless the investment is in a specific type of business activity related to Canadas cultural heritage and national identity.



If an investment is reviewable under the Act, an order for review must be issued within 21 days after the certified date on which notice of investment was received.  An application for review in the form prescribed is required to be filed with Investment Canada prior to the investment taking place.  Once the application has been filed, a receipt will be issued to the applicant, certifying the date on which the application was received.  For incomplete applications, a deficiency notice will be sent to the applicant, and if not done within 15 days of receipt of application, the application will be deemed to be complete as of the date it was received.  Within 45 days after the complete application has been received, the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act must notify the potential investor that the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If within such 45-day period the Minister is unable to complete the review, the Minister has an additional 30 days to complete the review, unless the applicant agrees to a longer period.  Within such additional period, the Minister must advise either that he is satisfied or not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If the time limits have elapsed, the Minister will be deemed to be satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  The investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.



If the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian must not implement the investment or, if the investment has been implemented, could be penalized by being required to divest himself of control of the business that is the subject of the investment.  To date, the only types of business activities which have been prescribed by regulation as related to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity deal largely with publication, film and music industries.  Because the Companys total assets are less than the $5 million notification threshold, and because the Companys business activities would likely not be deemed related to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity, acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by a non-Canadian investor would not be subject to even the notification requirements under the Investment Canada Act.



The following investments by non-Canadians are subject to notification under the Act:



|1. | an investment to establish a new Canadian business; and                                            
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|2. | an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business that is not reviewable pursuant to the Act.





Page 46













The following investments by a non-Canadian are subject to review under the Act:



|1. | direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $5 million or more, unless the acquisition is being made by a World Trade Organization (WTO) member country investor (the United States being a member of the WTO);                                                                                    
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|2. | direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $172 million or more by a WTO investor;                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|3. | indirect acquisition of control of Canadian business with assets of $5 million or more if such assets represent more than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review;            
|4. | indirect acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $50 million or more even if such assets represent less than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review; and
|5. | an investment subject to notification that would not otherwise be reviewable if the Canadian business engages in the activity of publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, film or video recordings, audio or video music recordings, or music in print or machine-readable form.      



Generally, an acquisition is direct if it involves the acquisition of control of the Canadian business or of its Canadian parent or grandparent and an acquisition is indirect if it involves the acquisition of control of a non-Canadian parent or grandparent of an entity carrying on the Canadian business.  Control may be acquired through the acquisition of actual voting control by the acquisition of voting shares of a Canadian corporation or through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Canadian business.  No change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred if less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor.



A WTO investor, as defined in the Act, includes an individual who is a national of a member country of the World Trade Organization or who has the right of permanent residence in relation to that WTO member, a government or government agency of a WTO investor-controlled corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture and a corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture that is neither WTO-investor controlled or Canadian controlled of which two-thirds of its board of directors, general partners or trustees, as the case may be, or any combination of Canadians and WTO investors.



The higher thresholds for WTO investors do not apply if the Canadian business engages in activities in certain sectors such as uranium, financial services, transportation services or communications.



The Act specifically exempts certain transactions from either notification or review.  Included among this category of transactions is the acquisition of voting shares or other voting interests by any person in the ordinary course of that persons business as a trader or dealer in securities.

Taxation



Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences



Through consultation with counsel, management of the Company believes that the following general summary accurately describes all material Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of common shares of the Company who is a resident of the United States and who is not a resident of Canada and who does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his common shares of the Company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a non-resident holder).



This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the ITA), the regulations thereunder (the Regulations), the current publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of Revenue Canada, Taxation, and all specific proposals (the Tax Proposals) to amend the ITA and Regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof.  This summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their form as of the date of this Annual Report.  This description, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, government or judicial action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial, or foreign tax considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.



Dividends



Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company to a non-resident holder will be subject to withholding tax.  The Canada-US Income Tax Convention (1980) (the Treaty) provides that the normal 25% withholding tax rate under the ITA is reduced to 15% on dividends paid on shares of a corporation resident in Canada (such as the Company) to beneficial owners of the dividends who are residents of the United States, and also provides for a further reduction of this rate to 5% where the beneficial owner of the dividends is a corporation that is a resident of the United States which owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the corporation paying the dividend.



Capital Gains



Under the ITA, a taxpayers capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of the Company is the amount, if any, by which his proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of his adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition.  One half of a capital gain (the taxable capital gain) is included in income, and one half of a capital loss in a year (the allowable capital loss) is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year.  The amount by which a shareholders allowable capital loss exceeds his taxable capital gains in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.



A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of a share of a public corporation unless the share represents taxable Canadian property to the holder thereof.  The Company is a public corporation for purposes of the ITA and a common share of the Company will be taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder if, at any time during the period of five years immediately following the disposition, the non-resident holder, persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arms length, or the non-resident holder and persons with whom he did not deal at arms length together owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class of shares of the Company.



Page 48













Where a non-resident holder who is an individual ceased to be resident in Canada, and at the time he ceased to be a Canadian resident elected to have his Company shares treated as taxable Canadian property, he will be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain realized on disposition of the Companys shares, subject to the relieving provisions of the Treaty described below.  Shares of the Company may also be taxable Canadian property to a holder if the holder acquired them pursuant to certain tax-deferred rollover transactions whereby the holder exchanged property that was taxable Canadian property for shares of the Company.



Where the non-resident holder realized a capital gain on a disposition of the Company shares that constitute taxable Canadian property, the Treaty relieves the non-resident shareholder from liability for Canadian tax on such capital gains unless:



|(a) | the value of the shares is derived principally from real property in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production from natural resources, which is the case for the Company,                                                                                                               
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|(b) | the non-resident holder is an individual who was resident in Canada for not less than 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 when he ceased to be resident in Canada or are property substituted for property that was owned at that time, or
|(c) | the shares formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment or pertained to a fixed base used for the purpose of performing independent personal services that the shareholder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.                                                                                                            



Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences



The following summary is a general discussion of the material United States Federal income tax considerations to US holders of shares of the Company under current law.  This discussion assumes that US Holders hold their shares of the Companys common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).  It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of shares of the Company is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not capital assets and any other non-US Holders.  In addition, US Holders may be subject to state, local or foreign tax consequences.  No opinion or representation with respect to the United States Federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is being made by the Company herein.  Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.  This discussion covers all material tax consequences.





Page 49













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.  This decision does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.  Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal, state, local, estate, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares of the Company.



US Holders



As used herein, a US Holder includes a holder of shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any entity that is taxable as a corporation for US tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of shares of the Company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.  A US Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of shares of the Company is not effectively connected with conduct of trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not as capital assets.



Distributions on Common Shares of the Company



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



Dividends paid on the shares of the Company will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.  A US 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 the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a foreign personal holding company or a passive foreign investment company, as defined below) if such US Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of 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.



Page 50













In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into US dollars on the date of receipt, a US Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its US 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 US dollars, will be ordinary income or loss.  However, for tax years after 1997, an individual whose realized foreign exchange gain does not exceed US $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are not expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirement for deductibility as a trade or business expense other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip (or as an expense for the production of income).



Foreign Tax Credit



A US Holder who pays (or has withheld from distribution) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the US Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld.  Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayers income subject to tax.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the US Holder during the year.  There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the US Holders United States Federal income tax liability that the US Holders foreign source income bears to this or its worldwide taxable income.  In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources.  Complex rules govern this classification process.  There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as passive income, high withholding tax interest, financial services income, shipping income, and certain other classifications of income.  The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.



Information Reporting and Backup Withholding



United States information reporting requirements may apply with respect to the payment of dividends to US Holders of the Companys common shares.  Under Treasury regulations currently in effect, non-corporate holders may be subject to backup withholding at a 31% rate with respect to dividends when such holder (1) fails to finish or certify a correct taxpayer identification number to the payor in the required manner, (2) is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report payments of interest or dividends properly or (3) fails, under certain circumstances, to certify that it has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding for failure to report interest and dividend payments.  Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a US Holder generally will be allowed as a credit against the US Holders US federal income tax liability and may entitle the US Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.  Certain US Holders, including corporations, are not subject to backup withholding.





Page 51











Disposition of Common Shares of the Company



A US Holder will recognize a gain or loss upon the sale of shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholders tax basis in the shares of the Company.  This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the US Holder, and will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the US Holder.  Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year.  Deductions for net capital loss are subject to significant limitations.  Corporate capital losses (other than losses of corporations electing under Subchapter S of the Code) are deductible to the extent of capital gains.  Non-corporate taxpayers may deduct net capital losses, whether short-term or long-term, up to US $3,000 a year (US $1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately).  For US Holders which are individuals, 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 US Holders which are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.



Currency Exchange Gains or Losses



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



Other Considerations



In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares of the Company (the Company does not believe that it will qualify in the next year, or has qualified within the past three fiscal years, as a foreign personal holding company, foreign investment company, passive foreign investment company or controlled foreign corporation as discussed below):





Page 52











Foreign Personal Holding Company



If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Companys outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens of the United States and 60% or more of the Companys gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), the Company would be treated as a foreign personal holding company.  In that event, US Holders that hold common shares of the Company (on the earlier of the last day of the Companys tax year or the last date in which the Company was a foreign personal holding company) would be required to include in gross income for such year their allocable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute such income.



Foreign Investment Company



If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Companys outstanding shares are held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that the Company might be treated as a foreign investment company as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a US Holder selling or exchanging common shares of the Company to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.



Passive Foreign Investment Company



As a foreign corporation with US Holders, the Company could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC), as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, depending upon the percentage of the Companys income which is passive, or the percentage of the Companys assets which are producing passive income (generally 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or the average percentage of the Companys assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%).  Passive income is generally defined to include gross income in the nature of dividends, interest, royalties, rents and annuities; excess of gains over losses from certain transactions in any commodities not arising inter aliafrom a PFIC whose business is actively involved in such commodities; certain foreign currency gains; and other similar types of income.  US Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to an additional tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the common shares of the PFIC are owned, in addition to treatment of gain realized on the disposition of common shares of the PFIC as ordinary income rather than capital gain.  However, if the US Holder makes 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 US Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFICs ordinary earnings and net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed.  A US Holder of a QEF can, however, elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income inclusions.  Special rules apply to US Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or person.



Page 53













Effective for tax years of US Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, US 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 US Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable year for which the mark-to-market election is made.  A US 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 the shares of the Company as of the close of such tax year over such US Holders adjusted basis in such shares.  In addition, the US Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such US 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 the shares in the Company included by such US 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 US Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) shares in the Company and the Company is a PFIC (Non-Electing US Holder), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years.  A US Holders adjusted tax basis in the shares of the Company 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 US Holder that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death.  Generally, in such cases, the basis of the Companys 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 US Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed below) will not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganization, and transfers at death.  The transferees basis in this case will depend on the manner of transfer.  The specific tax effect to the US Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the shares of the Company are transferred.  Each US 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. US 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 voting power of all classes of stock or total value of the stock of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (United States shareholder), the Company could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation under Subpart F of the Code.  This classification would effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such United States shareholders in income of their pro rata shares of Subpart F income (as specifically defined by the Code) of the Company.  Subpart F requires current inclusions in the income of United States shareholders to the extent of a controlled foreign corporations accumulated earnings invested in excess passive assets (as defined by the Code).  In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from sale or exchange of stock by a holder of common shares of the Company who is or was a United States shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Company attributable to the stock sold or exchanged.  Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because it is not clear that Subpart F would apply to the holders of common shares of the Company, a more detailed review of these rules is outside the scope of this discussion.



If the Company is both a PFIC and controlled foreign corporation, the Company will generally not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States shareholders of the controlled foreign corporation.  This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of the Company ending with or within such taxable years of United States shareholders.



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

I.

Subsidiary Information

ITEM 11.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK



The Company believes that its primary market risk relates to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Companys common shares are quoted in US dollars but substantially all of its expenditures are in Canadian dollars and Papua New Guinea kina. Furthermore, the Company may make significant expenditures in Australian dollars. The Company does not currently engage in exchange hedging and is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company intends to monitor its exchange rate risk and take reasonable steps to reduce its exposure.



At present, the functional currency for the Company is the Canadian dollar. The following table summarizes expenditures in currencies other than the Canadian dollar and the effect of a 10% change in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the Papua New Guinea kina. We believe that a 10% change in the exchange rate is reasonably likely.

PART II





ITEM 13.

DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARS AND DELINQUENCIES



In September 2003, the Company borrowed $152,131 under promissory notes payable that were due, at the latest, on March 31, 2004. The Company did not make any principal and interest payments in respect of these notes payable, nor did it pay a common share bonus that was subject to regulatory approval. The promissory note holders did not make a formal demand for payment and, in April 2005, agreed to accept repayment of 25% of the principal in cash and 75% of the principal in common shares using a share price of US$0.15 (approximately $0.18 at the time). As part of the settlement, the note holders agreed to waive interest and the common share bonus.



Apart from this default under the loans payable, there has not been a material default in the payment of principal, interest, a sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default not cured within thirty days, relating to indebtedness of the Company.  There are no payments of dividends by the Company in arrears, nor has there been any other material delinquency relating to any class of preference shares of the Company.

Global is legally entitled to hold the Tenements and is the registered and beneficial owner of the Tenements and any rights of access thereto and the Tenements and such rights of access are free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances and agreements in respect thereof which would have a material adverse effect on the intended use or value of the Tenements;

(b)

the Tenements are in good standing with respect to all material filings, and all taxes, charges and assessments required in respect thereof have been paid in full as are required under all applicable laws and regulations and all filings, payments and recordings required to be made with any governmental agency prior to September 10, 2006 to maintain the Tenements in good standing have been made and all work requirements to be met prior to September 10, 2006, to maintain the Tenements in good standing have been met and no default has been alleged in respect thereto;

(c)

2.

during the Term, Buffalo will keep the tenements in good standing at its own cost and meet expenses listed in Schedule "B";

5.

Buffalo can elect, at any time prior to the end of the Term to withdraw from this agreement with no retained interest in the Tenements;

6.

Global may elect during the Term to transfer the Tenements to Canon Investments Pty Ltd ("Canon") wholly owned by Mike Raetz and Andy Wilde and all terms of this agreement will thereby become binding on Canon; and

7.

The purchase and sale of the Tenements shall occur no later than October 11, 2006, and may be effected, at Canon's sole election, by the transfer of the Tenements to Canon and the acquisition by Buffalo of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Canon, provided that such shares are free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances and that Canon has no liabilities of any kind whatsoever.

Schedule "A"

Heritage and Native Title Information

On the 13th March 2006 Dalla-Costa faxed to Paul Simpson on behalf of Buffalo copies of the following Dept of Industry & Resources letters:

●

A letter of approval by the dept of industry & resources dated ("DOIR") 13th Feb 2006;

●

A letter dated 23rd January 2006 from DOER confirming that they found no heritage sites within the tenement;

●

A letter dated 71hFeb 2006 from the main elder of the Ngadju aboriginal group, Eddy McKenzie, via the group's anthropologist Wayne Glendenning which confirmed that the group had no objection to my exploration drilling programme;

●

A letter dated 14th March 2006 from the main elder of the Narnoobinya aboriginal group, Dorothy Tucher, which confirmed that the group had no objection to my exploration drilling programme.

Dallas-Costa also advises Buffalo:

●

should a full-scale exploration programme (500 holes) be required to be undertaken that further ground disturbance approvals may be needed which I believe in the circumstances only to be a formality;

●

should a decision be made to further develop (by mining) the project further negotiations / agreements will have to be entered into with the native title claimants.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT





To the Shareholders of

Buffalo Gold Ltd.



We have audited the balance sheets of Buffalo Gold Ltd. as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.



In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 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 April 11, 2006 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.

Nature and Continuance of Operations



Buffalo Gold Ltd. (the "Company") is an Alberta Corporation engaged in the exploration of mineral properties and the evaluation of mineral properties for potential acquisition. On February 17, 2003, the Company changed its name from Buffalo Diamonds Ltd. to Buffalo Gold Ltd. and consolidated its share capital on a 10 old for one new basis (note 6). To date, the Company has not earned significant revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage. Effective December 17, 2003, the Company's share listing was transferred to the NEX from the TSX Venture Exchange. Effective August 4, 2005, the Companys share listing was transferred back to the TSX Venture Exchange.



These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada under the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.



The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of share capital and debt. Continued operation of the Company is dependent on the Company's ability to complete additional equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.

Significant Accounting Policies



The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:



Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.



Presentation

Where applicable, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in the current year.



Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.



Equipment

Computer equipment is recorded at cost and amortization is provided at 30% per year on a declining balance basis.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)



Exploration properties and deferred costs



The Company has changed its accounting policy during the current fiscal year regarding the treatment of exploration expenditures on its properties. The Company previously capitalized these expenditures but will now charge to operations all exploration expenses incurred prior to the determination of economically recoverable reserves.



The Company continues to capitalize all mineral property acquisition costs and those exploration and development expenditures incurred following the determination that the property has economically recoverable reserves. The Company capitalizes such amounts until the property to which they relate is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned.



Mineral property acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair value of common shares and warrants issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement.  These costs are amortized over the estimated life of the property following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when impairment in value has been determined to have occurred. An exploration property is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.



This change in accounting policy has been applied retroactively and had no impact on the prior periods presented.



Asset retirement obligations

The Company initially measures legal obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment at fair value and subsequently makes an adjustment for the accretion of discount and any changes in the underlying cash flows. Any asset retirement cost is capitalized to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.



As at December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not have any asset retirement obligations.



Loss per share



The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method, the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the total number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from loss per share was 7,141,456, 301,276 and 1,366,586 respectively.



Translation of foreign currencies



The Companys functional currency is the Canadian dollar and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates.  At year-end, monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured at the year-end exchange rates.  The exchange gains and losses on translation are charged to operations.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)



Stock-based compensation



Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value-based methodology for measuring stock-based compensation costs in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3870 "Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments". Prior to December 31, 2002, the Company employed the intrinsic value-based method, which recognized compensation cost for awards to employees only when the market price exceeded the exercise price at date of grant, but required pro-forma disclosure of loss and loss per share as if the fair value method had been adopted.



Income taxes



Future income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method, whereby future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment or enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

Mt. Kare



On October 20, 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with Longview Capital Partners Limited (Longview) to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property in Papua New Guinea. Longview holds an option from Madison Minerals Inc. (Madison) to acquire up to a 100% interest of Madisons 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property. Longview is beneficially owned by one of the Company’s directors. One of the Company’s directors is also a director and shareholder of Madison.



In order to acquire its interest in the Mt. Kare Property, the Company will assume Longview’s obligations under its agreement with Madison as follows:



●

The Company will complete a preliminary feasibility study by January 4, 2007 and pay Madison, in cash or shares at Madisons election, a total of $500,000 by October 1, 2006 on a quarterly basis to acquire a 49% interest in Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd. (Madison PNG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Madison that is the holder of the Mt. Kare Property. The Company paid $100,000 to Madison in 2005 and a further $200,000 in 2006.

●

The Company can acquire a further 2% interest (51% in the aggregate) by paying, in cash or shares at the Company’s election, a further $500,000 on or before February 15, 2007.

●

The Company can acquire a further 14% interest in Madison PNG (65% in the aggregate) by completing a bankable final feasibility study by July 4, 2008.



After acquiring at least a 51% interest, the Company will have the right to acquire the balance of Madisons interest based on an independent valuation of Madisons remaining interest for cash or shares of the Company or a combination of both. If the Company elects not to acquire Madisons remaining interest, the Company and Madison will enter into a joint venture for the further development of Mt. Kare.

Exploration Properties (continued)



Subject to regulatory approval, the Company will issue Longview 17,000,000 common shares at a deemed price of US$0.25 per share upon the Company having acquired the initial 49% interest in Madison PNG from Madison. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay Longview $200,000 in blocks of $50,000 on signing of the acquisition agreement and every three months thereafter until paid. The Company paid $50,000 to Longview in 2005.



This acquisition required the approval of the Companys shareholders, which was subsequently granted at a special general meeting held on March 6, 2006.



Red Property



In July 2005, the Company acquired an interest in an underlying option to acquire the Red Property, located in northern British Columbia.  The Red Property is presently held under option by Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes") which can acquire a 100% interest in the Red Property, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty.  In order to acquire its 60% interest in the underlying option, the Company must pay Gitennes $30,000 on regulatory approval, incur expenditures of $600,000 by July 15, 2007, of which $200,000 must be incurred by July 15, 2006, and must make property payments to the underlying vendor totalling $100,000 by July 15, 2007.  Thereafter, the Company and Gitennes will incur the balance of the $2,000,000 in expenditures required by the underlying option to be incurred by July 15, 2010 on a pro-rata basis. In 2005, the Company paid $30,000 to Gitennes.



Terrawest Properties, Peoples Republic of China



During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an interest in certain gold properties in the Peoples Republic of China from Terrawest Resource Holdings Ltd. (Terrawest). The Company conducted property evaluation and due diligence in 2003. In March 2004, the agreement effectively ended when Terrawest received a notice from its Chinese partners terminating Terrawests underlying agreement on the subject properties. The Company agreed to abandon any claim against Terrawest in consideration of Terrawest and its principals providing two joint and several promissory notes totalling $100,000. The promissory notes are each for $50,000, fell due on July 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and bear interest at the rate of 10% per year after their due dates. The present value of these promissory notes was $94,955 at the date of issue, $50,000 at December 31, 2004. The Company received the $50,000 due July 30, 2004 and $2,500 of the amount due December 31, 2004. The remaining $47,500 is in default and although the promissory note is secured by personal guarantees from the principals of Terrawest, the Company has provided for the doubtful collection of this amount.



Calling Lake and Varlaam, Alberta



The Company has a 65% working interest in several mineral exploration permits in the Calling Lake region of Alberta. In 2003, management of the Company decided to write down the carrying value of the properties to $nil resulting in charges to operations of $140,500.

Loans Payable



In 2003, the Company arranged for bridge financing totalling $152,131. The loans were to be repaid on the earlier of (1) the date that the Company closed a private placement of its securities so as to realize gross proceeds of at least $500,000; or (2) by March 31, 2004. The loans bore interest at 12% per year and included a share bonus of 45,276 common shares, subject to regulatory approval.



The Company was unable to repay the loan when it fell due and, in April 2005, reached an agreement with the lenders to settle the principal amount of the debt for 25% in cash ($36,431) and 75% in common shares at US$0.15 per share. The loan holders agreed to waive interest on the loans and the common share bonuses. The settlement was subject to regulatory approval, which was granted in July 2005. On settlement of the debt, the Company recognized a $57,768 gain on settlement and issued 600,688 common shares, at a value of $109,291.

Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (continued)



a)

Exploration properties and deferred costs



Exploration 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 expenses, as incurred, the acquisition costs relating to unproven mineral properties. When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study is prepared, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property would be capitalized. The capitalized costs of such properties would then be measured periodically for recoverability of carrying values.



b)

Comprehensive income:



Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require that the Company classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings (deficit) and contributed surplus in the equity section of the balance sheet. To date, the Companys operations have not generated any comprehensive income or loss.





c)

Recent accounting pronouncements



In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 and its related implementation guidance by requiring entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions) and revises SFAS 123 as follows:



(i)

Public entities are required to measure liabilities incurred to employees in share-based payment transactions at fair value and nonpublic entities may elect to measure their liabilities to employees incurred in share-based payment transactions at their intrinsic value whereas under SFAS 123, all share-based payment liabilities were measured at their intrinsic value.

(ii)

Nonpublic entities are required to calculate fair value using an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of its share price if it is not practicable to estimate the expected volatility of the entitys share price.

(iii)

Entities are required to estimate the number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered as opposed to accounting for forfeitures as they occur.

(iv)

Incremental compensation cost for a modification of the terms or conditions of an award is measured by comparing the fair value of the modified award with the fair value of the award immediately before the modification whereas SFAS 123 required that the effects of a modifications be measured as the difference between fair value of the modified award at the date it is granted and the awards value immediately before the modification determined based on the shorter of (1) its remaining initially estimated expected life or (2) the expected life of the modified award.

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)



SFAS 123R also clarifies and expands guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS ownership plans which are subject to Statement of Position 93-6, Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123R as of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123R in the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For non-public entities, SFAS 123R must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.



In May 2005, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections  A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154), which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. SFAS 154 requires that changes in accounting policy be accounted for on a retroactive basis.



The adoption of these new pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
