EXPLANATORY NOTE

          This Amendment to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Solitario Exploration & Royalty Corp ("Solitario or the Company") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, originally filed on August 6, 2008 (the "Amendment") is being filed for the purposes of restating the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 as discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

          Subsequent to filing of our June 30, 2008 Quarterly Report Form 10-Q, we determined that our stock options, which are priced in Canadian dollars, were effectively indexed to the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar, our functional currency, in addition to the price of our common stock quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R "Share Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which we adopted on January 1, 2006, requires that our stock options be classified and accounted for as liabilities from the date of adoption of SFAS 123R.

          Previously Solitario had classified its stock options as equity instruments. SFAS 123R generally requires that the grant date fair value of stock options classified as equity instruments be amortized as stock option compensation expense, net of deferred taxes, over the requisite service or vesting period of the option through a credit to additional paid-in-capital. This Amendment reflects the classification of our stock options as liabilities, which generally requires recording the fair value (or portion thereof, based upon the requisite service or vesting period) as a liability as of each measurement date, with changes in the fair value recorded as stock option compensation expense, net of deferred taxes, in the period of the change. In addition upon exercise of stock options classified as liabilities, the fair value of exercised options is transferred from stock option liability to additional paid-in-capital.

          Accordingly, this Amendment reflects the adjustments to our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements discussed in more detail in Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

          We have also made appropriate changes in this Amendment to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 6, detailing the effect of the restatement and to Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of this 10-Q/A. This Amendment contains related disclosureidentifying the restatement as a material weakness in Item 4 of this 10-Q/A. This Amendment does not affect our previously disclosed cash, assets, working capital or cash flows. Our stock option liabilities are classified as long-term as none of our stock options provide for cash settlement.

          For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the original Form 10-Q in its entirety. However, this Form 10-Q/A only amends the items specifically described above. No other information in the original Form 10-Q is amended. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the original Form 10-Q has been amended to contain currently dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

          This Amendment does not reflect events that have occurred after August 6, 2008, the date the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was originally filed. Information with respect to those events is set forth, as appropriate, in our subsequent periodic filings, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

1.       Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Business

          Solitario Exploration & Royalty Corp. ("Solitario") is an exploration stage company with a focus on the acquisition of precious and base metal properties with exploration potential. Solitario acquires and holds a portfolio of exploration properties for future sale or joint venture prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. Although its mineral properties may be developed in the future through a joint venture, Solitario has never developed a mineral property and Solitario does not anticipate developing any currently owned mineral properties on its own in the future. At SeptemberJune 30, 2008, Solitario's mineral properties are located in Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. Solitario was incorporated in the state of Colorado on November 15, 1984 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown Resource Corp. of Colorado, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crown Resources Corporation (individually and collectively, "Crown").

           The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Solitario for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. They do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements, but in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results whichthat may be achieved in the future or for the full year ending December 31, 2008.

          These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto which are included in Solitario's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2007. The accounting policies set forth in those annual financial statements are the same as the accounting policies utilized in the preparation of these financial statements, except as modified for appropriate interim financial statement presentation.

Recent developments

          On June 12, 2008, the shareholders of Solitario approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Solitario to change the name of the corporation to Solitario Exploration & Royalty Corp. from Solitario Resources Corporation.

          Solitario has a significant investment in Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") at SeptemberJune 30, 2008, which consists of 1,150,0001,200,000 shares of Kinross common stock. Of these shares, 250,000300,000 are not subject to the Kinross Collar, discussed below under "Derivative instruments."instruments". Solitario sold an additional 50,000 shares of Kinross on July 1, 2008 for net proceeds of $1,214,000. As of OctoberJuly 31, 2008, Solitario's 250,000 shares have a value of approximately $2.6$4.5 million based upon the market price of $10.43$18.15 per Kinross share. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, Solitario sold 50,00042,920 and 192,920 shares,142,920, respectively, of Kinross common stockshares for net proceeds of $1,214,000$986,000 and $4,430,000.$3,215,000. The cash from the settlement of the 42,920 shares sold during the second quarter was received in July 2008, and Solitario has recorded a receivable for $986,000 in current assets as of June 30, 2008. Any significant fluctuation in the market value of Kinross common shares could have a material impact on Solitario's liquidity and capital resources.

          As athe result of a dividend of $0.04 per share that Kinross paid on both September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 of $0.04 per share, the prices under the Kinross Collar were adjusted to (i) 400,000 shares due on April 14, 2009 for a lower threshold price of no less than $13.73$13.77 per share (the "Floor Price") and an upper threshold price of no more than $21.69$21.73 per share ; (ii) 400,000 shares due on April 13, 2010 for a lower threshold of the Floor Price and an upper threshold price of no more than $24.38$24.42 per share ; and (iii) 100,000 shares due on April 12, 2011 for no less than the Floor Price and an upper threshold price of no more than $27.54$27.58 per share .

          During the ninefirst six months ended September 30,of 2008, Solitario capitalized a total of $105,000$100,000 related to initial staking and lease costs on our Cajatambo, Excelsior, Chonta and Paria Cruz exploration projects in Peru and our La Noria and Purica exploration projects in Mexico and our Espanola exploration project in Bolivia.Mexico. Any additional costs incurred for subsequent lease payments or exploration activities related to these projects will be expensed as incurred.

          On April 4, 2008 Solitario signed the Minera Chambara, S.A.C. ("Minera Chambara") shareholders' agreement with Votorantim Metais Cajamarquilla, S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Votorantim Metais (both companies referred to as "Votorantim") for the exploration of a large area of interest in northern Peru measuring approximately 200 by 85 kilometers. Votorantim will conduct exploration on the project. Votorantim contributed titled mineral properties within the area of interest totaling approximately 51,000 hectares to Minera Chambara for a 15% interest in Minera Chambara. Solitario contributed 9,500 hectares of mineral claims and certain exploration data in its possession for an 85% interest in Minera Chambara. Existing and future properties subject to the terms of the shareholders' agreement will be held by Minera Chambara. Votorantim may increase its shareholding interest to 49% by expending $6,250,000 over seven years and may increase its interest to 70% by funding a feasibility study and providing for construction financing for Solitario's

interest. If Votorantim provides such construction financing, Solitario would repay that financing, including interest, from 80% of Solitario's portion of the project cash flow. Solitario has determined that Votorantim controls Minera Chambara pursuant to the terms of the shareholders' agreement and accordingly, Solitario has recorded its investment in Minera Chambara using the equity-method of accounting. During the second quarter of 2008 Solitario transferred $30,000, its interest in the claims, from Mineral properties, net to investment in unconsolidated subsidiary. Solitario has determined thatestimated as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 its net equity in Minera Chambara, is negative, as a result of exploration activity by Votorantim during the second and third quartersquarter of 2008.2008, is negative. Accordingly, Solitario has reduced its investment in unconsolidated subsidiary to zero, through a non-cash charge to exploration expense. SolitarioSoli tario does not anticipate it will record an increase in the book value of its 85% equity-method investment in the shares of Minera Chambara in the foreseeable future, if at all.

          On April 24, 2007, Solitario signed an agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement") relating to the Pedra Branca Project in Brazil with Anglo Platinum for the exploration and development of the Pedra Branca Project. Solitario's and Anglo Platinum's property interests are held through the ownership of shares in PBM. As part of the agreement, Anglo Platinum earned a 15% interest in PBM, as of September 30, 2007. Anglo Platinum can earn an additional 15% in PBM, to a total 30% interest, by funding $1.5 million towards the 2008 budget and work program, of which Anglo Platinum has funded approximately $1.3 million as of September 30, 2008, or by completing the funding and expenditures of the 2008 work program as of December 31, 2008. Solitario anticipates Anglo Platinum will have met these funding and expenditure requirements to earn a 30% interest in PBM on or before December 31, 2008. Anglo Platinum can earn an additional 21% intere st in PBM, up to a 51% interest, by spending a total of $7 million on the project and can earn a 60% interest by completing a bankable feasibility study, or spending an additional $10 million on exploration. Anglo Platinum can also earn an additional 5% interest in PBM (for a total of 65%) by arranging 100% financing to put the project into commercial production.

Employee stockStock compensation plans

          Solitario measuresaccounts for our stock options under the costprovisions of employee services received in exchangeSFAS No 123R, whereby Solitario records a liability for an award of equity instruments based upon the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is generally the vesting period. The grant-date fair valuevested portion of employee shareoutstanding options is measured on the date of grant usingbased upon a Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including a risk free interest rate, the contractual term, a zero dividend yield, a zero forfeiture rate, and an expected term based uponvolatility equal to the historical data of past exercises of option awards and expected stock-price volatility based upon the historicaldaily quoted market pricesprice of SolitarioSolitario's common stock.stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") over the period corresponding to the expected life of the options. These estimates as well as Solitario's estimate of forfeitures, involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, Solitario's recognizedrecorded and pro-forma stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different.different from that reported.

          a.)     The 2006 Stock Option Incentive PlanSolitario's outstanding options have a five year term, and vest 25% on date of grant and 25% on each anniversary date. Solitario recognizes stock option compensation expense for the change fair value of option grants over their vesting period. Solitario records stock option liability for the vested fair value of each option grant on the measurement date by multiplying the estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes model by a vesting percentage, with 25% recognized immediately, and the remaining 75% recognized over three years on a straight line basis.

          OnAt June 27, 2006, Solitario's shareholders approved30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Solitario determined the 2006 Stock Option Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan"). Under the termsfair value of our outstanding options granted under the 2006 Plan and 1994 Plan utilizing the Boardfollowing assumptions and a Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate of Directors may grant up to 2,800,000 options to Directors, officers0.990 and employees with exercise prices equal to1.019, respectively.

          c.)     Summary of stock-based compensation plans

          The following table summarizes the activity for stock options outstanding under the 1994 Plan and the 2006 PlansPlan as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008, with exercise prices equal to the fair market value, as defined, on the date of grant and no restrictions on exercisability after vesting:

(1)The intrinsic value at SeptemberJune 30, 2008 based upon the quoted market price of Cdn$3.805.00 per share for our common stock on the Toronto Stock ExchangeTSX and an exchange ratio of 0.963600.98998 Canadian dollars per United States dollar.

Earnings per share

          Basic income (loss)earnings and loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

          OurSolitario's potentially dilutive shares are related to outstanding common stock options. Diluted earnings per common share consider the impact of these potentially dilutive shares, except in periods of a loss because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. It also excludes those periods when the option exercise price exceeds the weighted average market price of a share of our common stock during the period.

          Diluted income per share during the three months ended September 30, 2008 is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock, which has been increased for the dilutive effects of the assumed exercise of 1,574,454 options with weighted average exercise prices that were below the weighted average market price during the three months ending September 30, 2008 utilizing the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes that the proceeds from the assumed exercise of these 1,574,454 options will be used to purchase our common stock at the average market price of our stock during the three months ended September 30, 2008 of Cdn$4.05 per share and that these shares would reduced the number of shares added from the exercise of the 1,574,454 options discussed above. These proceeds include the cash assumed to be received upon the exercise of the options at the weighted average exercise price on the options, plu s the estimated amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized plus excess tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in-capital upon the assumed exercise of the 1,574,454 options. Solitario has estimated that for the three months ended September 30, 2008 approximately 225,000 shares would be added to the weighted average outstanding shares in determining fully diluted earnings per share.

<PAGE>

Approximately 2,167,000 of potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and approximately 2,307,0002,220,000 of potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and approximately 1,805,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 because the effects were anti-dilutive.

Derivative instruments

          On October 12, 2007 Solitario entered into a Zero-Premium Equity Collar (the "Kinross Collar") pursuant to a Master Agreement for Equity Collars and a Pledge and Security Agreement with UBS AG, London, England, an Affiliate of UBS Securities LLC (collectively "UBS"). Under the terms of the Kinross Collar Solitario pledged 900,000 shares of Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") common shares to be sold (or delivered back to Solitario with any differences settled in cash). As of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 the Kinross Collar pricing is (i) 400,000 shares due on April 14, 2009 for a lower threshold price of no less than $13.73$13.77 per share (the "Floor Price") and an upper threshold price of no more than $21.69$21.73 per share ; (ii) 400,000 shares due on April 13, 2010 for a lower threshold of the Floor Price and an upper threshold price of no more than $24.38$24.42 per share ; and (iii) 100,000 shares due on April 12, 2011 for no less than the Floor Price and an upper threshold p riceprice of no more than $27.54$27.58 per share . Kinross' quoted closing price was $16.37 per share on October 12, 2007, the date of the initiation of the Kinross Collar.

          The business purpose of the Kinross Collar is to provide downside price protection of the Floor Price on 900,000 shares of the total shares Solitario owns, in the event Kinross stock were to drop significantly from the price on the date Solitario entered into the Kinross Collar. In consideration for obtaining this price protection, Solitario has given up the upside appreciation above the upper threshold prices discussed above during the term of the respective tranches.

Fair Value

          Effective January 1, 2008, Solitario adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS No.

<PAGE>

157 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

          The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a listing of our financial assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and where they are classified within the hierarchy as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008:

Marketable equity securities:At SeptemberJune 30, 2008 the fair value of our marketable equity securities are based upon quoted market prices for the securities owned by Solitario.

Kinross Collar:The Kinross Collar between Solitario and UBS is a contractual hedge that is not traded on any public exchange. We determine the fair value of the Kinross Collar using a Black-Scholes model using inputs, including the price of a share of Kinross common stock, volatility of Kinross common stock price, and risk-free interest rates, that are readily available from public markets, therefore, they are classified as Level 2 inputs. Solitario has not designated the Kinross Collar as a hedging instrument as described in SFAS No. 133 and any changes in the fair market value of the Kinross Collar are recognized in the statement of operations in the period of the change. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 Solitario recorded an unrealized gainloss on derivative instrument of $4,697,000$864,000 and $1,966,000,$2,731,000, respectively, and has recorded a derivative instrument assetliability of $264,000$4,433,000 for the fair market value of the Kinross Collar as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008. Solitario has recorded $110,000recorde d $1,918,000 for the fair market value related to 400,000 shares of the Kinross Collar due on April 14, 2009 as a current assetliability as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008.

Marketable equity securities

          Solitario's investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which is based upon quoted prices of the securities owned. The cost of marketable equity securities sold is determined by the specific identification method. Changes in market value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders' equity, unless a decline in market value is considered other than temporary, in which case the decline is recognized as a loss in the consolidated statement of operations.

          The following items comprised exploration expense:

As a result of Anglo Platinum earning 15% interest in Pedra Branca do Brazil Mineracao,Mineração, S.A., ("PBM"), reimbursement of Pedra Branca expenses incurred by PBM are accounted for as capital contributions, and are not offset against exploration expense as joint venture payments. Anglo Platinum continues to reimburse certain non-PBM costs and management fees. Accordingly, the reimbursement of work related to the Pedra Branca agreement was reduced to $28,000$12,000 and $66,000$38,000 during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $456,000$361,000 and $1,043,000$587,000 during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007.

4.       Income Taxes

Under SFAS No. 109, income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will

either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses and tax credits that are available to offset future taxable income and income taxes, respectively. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

          In connection with the Bankruptcy of Crown in 2002 and Solitario's acquisition of Altoro Gold Corp. in 2000, Solitario had a greater than fifty percent change in ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 382"). Pursuant to Section 382, the amount of future taxable income available to be offset by Solitario's carryovers is limited to approximately $614,000 per year.

          Primarily as a result of the recognition of gain on Solitario's holdings of Kinross common stock (previously Crown common stock) recognized as other comprehensive income, Solitario estimated that its deferred tax liabilities exceeded its realizable deferred tax assets by $5,864,000$7,109,000 and $6,808,000,$5,883,000, respectively, at SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Under the agreement, Mr. Jones advisedwill advise Solitario on matters of strategic direction, planning, and identification of corporate opportunities, when and as requested by Solitario. In consideration for the services to be performed, Mr. Jones washas been paid a one time lump sum payment of $160,000, plus he is entitled to receive pre-approved, documented expenses incurred in performance of the consulting services. Solitario charged $13,000$20,000 and $53,000$40,000 for consulting expense, related to the agreement, which is included in general and administrative expense for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2008 and 2007. Solitario charged $20,000 and $60,000 forwill amortize the remaining balance of prepaid consulting expense, related to the agreement, which isfees of $13,000, included in general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended Septembercurrent assets as of June 30, 2007. The agreement terminated on August 31,2008, during 2008.

TNR Gold Corp

          Solitario owns 1,000,000 shares of TNR Gold Corp ("TNR"), included in marketable equity securities with fair values, based on quoted market prices, of $183,000$267,000 and $316,000, respectively, and cost of $139,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Christopher E. Herald, our CEO, is a member of the Board of Directors of TNR.

126. Restatement

          Subsequent to filing of our June 30, 2008 Quarterly Report Form 10-Q, Solitario determined that our stock options, which are priced in Canadian dollars, were effectively indexed to the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar, our functional currency, in addition to the price of its common stock quoted on the TSX. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R "Share Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which Solitario adopted on January 1, 2006, requires that Solitario's stock options be classified and accounted for as liabilities from the date of adoption of SFAS 123R.

          Previously Solitario had classified its stock options as equity instruments. SFAS 123R requires that the grant date fair value of stock options classified as equity instruments be amortized as stock option compensation expense, net of deferred taxes, over the requisite service or vesting period of the option through a credit to additional paid-in-capital. This restatement reflects the classification of our stock options as liabilities, which generally requires recording the estimated fair value (or portion thereof, based upon the requisite service or vesting period) as a liability as of each measurement date, with changes in the fair value recorded as stock option compensation expense, net of deferred taxes, in the period of the change. In addition upon exercise of stock options classified as liabilities, the fair value of exercised options is transferred from stock option liability to additional paid-in-capital.

          As discussed in Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the financial statements as of June 30, 2008 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 have been restated to reflect the classification of our stock options as liabilities. The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations gives effect to the restatement.

          The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Solitario for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and Management's Discussion and Analysis contained in Solitario's Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.

(a). Business Overview and Summary

          We are an exploration stage company with a focus on the acquisition of precious and base metal properties with exploration potential. We acquire and hold a portfolio of exploration properties for future sale or joint venture prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. Although our mineral properties may be developed in the future through a joint venture, we have never developed a mineral property and we do not anticipate developing any currently owned mineral properties on our own in the future. At SeptemberJune 30, 2008 we had 1413 exploration properties in Peru, Bolivia, Mexico and Brazil, and two royalty properties in Peru. We are conducting exploration activities in all of those countries.

(b.)(b). Recent Developments

          On June 12, 2008, the shareholders of Solitario approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Solitario to change the name of the corporation to Solitario Exploration & Royalty Corp. from Solitario Resources Corporation.

          We have a significant investment in Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") at SeptemberJune 30, 2008, which consists of 1,150,0001,200,000 shares of Kinross common stock. Of these shares, 250,000300,000 are not subject to the Kinross Collar, discussed below under "Derivative instruments."Collar. We sold an additional 50,000 shares of Kinross on July 1, 2008 for net proceeds of $1,214,000. As of OctoberJuly 31, 2008, our 250,000 shares have a value of approximately $2.6$4.5 million based upon the market price of $10.43$18.15 per Kinross share. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we sold 50,00042,920 and 192,920, respectively,142,920 Kinross common shares for net proceeds of $1,214,000$986,000 and $4,430,000.$3,215,000, respectively. The cash from the settlement of the 42,920 shares sold during the second quarter was received in July 2008, and we has recorded a receivable for $986,000 in current assets as of June 30, 2008. Any significant fluctuation in the market value of Kinross common shares could have a material impact on our liquidity and capital resources.re sources.

          As athe result of dividendsa dividend that Kinross paid on September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 of $0.04 per share, the prices under the Kinross Collar werehave been reduced, by the $0.04 per share. As of June 30, 2008 the Kinross Collar pricing has been adjusted to (i) 400,000 shares due on April 14, 2009 for a lower threshold price of no less than $13.73$13.77 per share (the "Floor Price") and an upper threshold price of no more than $21.69$21.73 per share ; (ii) 400,000 shares due on April 13, 2010 for a lower threshold of the Floor Price and an upper threshold price of no more than $24.38$24.42 per share ; and (iii) 100,000 shares due on April 12, 2011 for no less than the Floor Price and an upper threshold price of no more than $27.54$27.58 per share .

          During the ninefirst six months ended September 30,of 2008, we capitalized $105,000$100,000 related to initial staking and lease costs on our Cajatambo, Excelsior, Chonta and Paria Cruz exploration projects in Peru;Peru and our La Noria and Purica exploration projects in Mexico and our Espanola project in Bolivia.Mexico. Any additional costs incurred for subsequent lease payments or exploration activities related to these projects will be expensed as incurred.

          On April 4, 2008 we signed the Minera Chambara S.A.C.S.A.C ("Minera Chambara") shareholders' agreement with Votorantim Metais Cajamarquilla, S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Votorantim Metais (both companies referred to as "Votorantim"), for the exploration of a large area of interest in northern Peru measuring approximately 200 by 85 kilometers. Votorantim will conduct exploration on the project. Votorantim contributed titled mineral properties within the area of interest totaling approximately 51,000 hectares to Minera Chambara for a 15% interest in Minera Chambara. We contributed 9,500 hectares of mineral claims and certain exploration data in itsour possession for an 85% interest in Minera Chambara. Existing and future properties subject to the terms of the shareholders' agreementjoint venture will be held by Minera Chambara. Votorantim may increase its shareholding interest to 49% by expending $6,250,000 over seven years and may increa seincrease its interest to 70% by funding a feasibility study and providing for construction financing for Solitario'sour interest. If Votorantim provides such construction financing, we would repay thatsuch financing, including interest from 80% of Solitario's portion of the project cash flow. We have determined that Votorantim controls Minera Chambara pursuant to the terms of the shareholders' agreement and accordingly, we have recorded itsrecord our investment in Minera Chambara using the equity-method of accounting. During the second quarter of 2008, we transferred $30,000, representing our interest in the claims from Mineral properties, net of $30,000 to investment in unconsolidated subsidiary. We have estimated as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 that our net equity in Minera Chambara, as a result of exploration activity by Votorantim during the thirdsecond quarter of 2008, is negative. Accordingly, we reduced our investment in unconsolidated subsidiary to zero, through a non-cash charge to exploration expense. We doSolitario does not anticipate weit will record an i ncreaseincrease in the book value of its 85% equity-method investment in the shares of Minera Chambara in the foreseeable future, if at all.

          On April 24, 2007, we signed an agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement") relating to the Pedra Branca Project in Brazil with Anglo Platinum for the exploration and development of the Pedra Branca Project. Solitario's and Anglo Platinum's property interests are held through the ownership of shares in PBM. As part of the agreement, Anglo Platinum earned a 15% interest in PBM, as of September 30, 2007. Anglo Platinum can earn an additional 15% in PBM, to a total 30% interest, by funding $1.5 million towards the 2008 budget and work program, of which Anglo Platinum has funded approximately $1.3 million as of September 30, 2008, or by completing the funding and expenditures of the 2008 work program as of December 31, 2008. We anticipate Anglo Platinum will have met these funding and expenditure requirements to earn a 30% interest in PBM on or before December 31, 2008. Anglo Platinum can earn an additional 21% interest in PBM, up t o a 51% interest, by spending a total of $7 million on the project and can earn a 60% interest by completing a bankable feasibility study, or spending an additional $10 million on exploration. Anglo Platinum can also earn an additional 5% interest in PBM (for a total of 65%) by arranging 100% financing to put the project into commercial production.12

(c). Results of Operations

Comparison of the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 to the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007

          We had a net incomeloss of $2,154,000$1,409,000 or $0.07$0.05 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 compared to a loss of $909,000$1,492,000 or $0.03$0.05 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007. As explained in more detail below, the primary reason we recordedfor the decrease in the net incomeloss for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 compared to the loss in the same period of 2007 primarilywas related the following items: (i) We recorded an unrealized gain of $4,697,000 onto a decrease in our Kinross Collargeneral and administrative expense to $487,000 during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 compared to $1,241,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007, partially offset by an increase in our exploration expense to $1,026,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $659,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007. In addition we recorded a loss on derivative instrument related to our Kinross Collar of $864,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, and there was no similar item in the t hree months ended June 30, 2007. These increased costs were partially offset by a gain of $796,000 from the sale of share of Kinross during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007; (ii) our general2008 and administrative expense decreased to $815,000there were no similar sales during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $888,000 in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007 which includedand, as a result of the reduction in the recognition of stock-option compensation expense to $230,000losses incurred during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 compared to $4 19,000 in stock-option compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2007; (iii) an increase in other income related to interest and dividend income of $63,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $22,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007; (iv) an increase in the gain on sale of marketable equity securities during 2008 to $993,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the sale of 50,000 shares of Kinross stock, compared to a gain of $889,000 during the same period of 2007, from the sale of 100,000 shares of Kinross stock, primarily as a result of the higher price per share for the sale of shares during 2008 compared to 2007; and the recognition of $200,000 in joint venture and property payments in the three months ended September 30, 2008 on our Bongará project from Votorantim compared to $100,000 in joint venture and property payments during the same period of 2007. These items were partially mitigated by an increas e in (i) our exploration expense to $1,265,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $846,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007; and (ii) an increase in our deferred tax expense to $1,779,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to deferred tax expense of $160,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. In calculating our United States pre-tax loss to determine tax expense or benefit we provide a valuation allowance to exclude our foreign exploration expenses. The increase in deferred tax expense primarily relates to the increase in the unrealized gain on our derivative instrument discussed above. In calculating income tax expense, we provide a valuation allowance for any accumulated losses incurred in jurisdictions outside of the United States and do not providerecorded an income tax benefit of $130,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to an income tax benefit of $401,000 during the year for those losses.second quarter of 2007. Each of these items is discussed in more detail below.

          Our net exploration expense increased to $1,265,000$1,026,000 during the three months ended September 30,second quarter of 2008 compared to $846,000$659,000 in the three months ended September 30,second quarter of 2007. The primary reason for the increase in exploration expense related to the inclusion of all our Pedra Branca exploration expense during the three months ended September 30, 2008 of $558,000, compared to a net credit to exploration expense related to our Pedra Branca project of $9,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007, as a result of reimbursement by Anglo Platinum, discussed below. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we increased our expenditures on certain newly acquired projects, discussed below, whichhave significantly increased our exploration salary, benefit, travelefforts on existing properties and assaying costs comparedreconnaissance exploration in Peru, Brazil and Mexico, portions of which led to the same periodaddition of 2007. These activitiescertain exploration projects. This included exploration activities associated with the Strategic Alliance, discussed below under "Joint Ventures, ro yalty and the Strategic Alliance Properties." These increased costs were partially mitigated by reduced drilling activity during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 discussed below.2007. We also increased our exploration activities at Pedra Branca, which is wholly-owned by PBM. As a result of Anglo Platinum earning 15% of PBM during 2007, Anglo Platinum is now directly funding Pedra Branca exploration activities through capital contributions to PBM. PBM, grossand all PBM exploration, which amounted to $586,000$282,000 during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, is consolidated into our net exploration expense.

which was netted against our gross exploration expense. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, exploration expenses of $28,000,$11,000, for our management fees, were offset by joint venture reimbursements by Anglo Platinum on our Pedra Branca project. Pursuantproject compared to the Shareholders Agreement, we anticipate Anglo will meet its funding requirements to earn an additional 15%reimbursement of PBM, to a total of 30%, by December, 31, 2008. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, grossall exploration expenses of $456,000, includingand management fees were reimbursed by Anglo Platinum,recorded during the second quarter of 2007, resulting in a net credit to exploration expense.expense of $17,000. During the three months ended September 30,second quarter of 2008 we recorded exploration costs of $305,000$275,000 related to our newly acquired Chonta Cajatambo and Twin LakesCajatambo projects in Peru and $111,000 related to our newly acquired La Purica and Paria Cruz properties in Mexico. We reduced ourPeru; $82,000 for exploration expenditures duringassociated with the three months ended September 30, 2008 on our Mercurio Proj ect in Brazil to $35,000 compared to $228,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 whenProject, where we were conductingconducted a drilling program at Mercurio. We completely eliminated our exploration expenditures on our Titicayo and Triunfo Projects in Bolivia during the threefirst six months ended September 30,of 2008 compared to exploration expenditures of $155,000 related to drilling programs during$68,000 in the same periodsecond quarter of 2007. We continued to perform sampling and exploration in our Alliance Project Areas, discussed below under "Joint Ventures, royalty and the Strategic Alliance Properties," as well as reconnaissance efforts to add new prospects and ongoing geologic work to evaluate and advance our existing exploration properties and targets. As a result of some of this effort we added the Espanola Project in BoliviaParia Cruz, La Noria and Purica projects during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008. We also acquired the Santiago project during the first quarter of 2007. We anticipate continuing to acquire mineral properties, either through staking, joint venture or lease, in Latin America during 2008 and have budgeted our related net exploration expenditure to be approximately $4,300,000$4,200,000 for the entire year of 2008. The primary factor in our decision to increase exploration expenditures in 2008 relatedrelate to an increase in commodity prices during 2006 and 2007, which has allowed us to increase our existing and potential projects upon which to explore. We are currently evaluatingalso have additional drill targets on our exploration budgets and plans for 2009, which will take into consideration the recent declines in commodity prices during the second half of 2008 and the potential for future changes in commodity prices.existing non-joint venture projects.

Exploration expense (in thousands) by project for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted of the following:

<PAGE>

          General and administrative costs were $487,000 during the second quarter of 2008 compared to $1,241,000 in the second quarter of 2007. General and administrative costs decreased primarily due to a decrease in stock option compensation expense as a result of recording a benefit of $85,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to expense of $782,000 in the second quarter of 2007, partially offset by an increase in salary expense to $204,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $154,000 in the second quarter of 2007, and an increase in accounting and legal costs to $71,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $31,000 during the second quarter of 2007. The remaining general and administrative costs were comparable between the second quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2007.

          We recorded an unrealized gain on derivative instrumentaccount for share-based payments under the provisions of $4,697,000 duringSFAS No 123R, whereby we record the fair value of the vested portion of our stock options as a liability and record changes in the fair value as stock compensation expense in the statement of operations in the period of the change. We estimate the fair values of the options based upon a Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, relatedour stock compensation expense was a benefit of $85,000, compared to expense of $782,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our stock option compensation expense changes as a result of changes in the fair value of the vested portion of our outstanding stock options. This fair value is primarily affected by increases in the vesting of outstanding options from period to period and by the effect of increases or decreases in the price of our common stock. Generally as the price of our common stock incre ases our stock option liability and our stock option compensation expenses increase. See Stock compensation plans in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for an analysis of the changes in the fair value of our outstanding stock options and the components that are used to determine the fair value.

          On October 12, 2007, we entered into the Kinross Collar whereby we pledged 900,000 shares of Kinross common shares to be sold at prices fixed under the collar as discussed belowabove under "derivative instruments."Recent Developments." We have not designated the Kinross Collar as a hedging instrument as described in SFAS No. 133 and any changes in the fair market value of the

Kinross Collar are recognized in the statement of operations in the period of the change. The quoted market price of a share of Kinross common stock was $16.12 on September 30, 2008 compared to $23.61 on June 30, 2008. As a result of this reduction in market price of Kinross, the fair value of our asset related to the Floor Price of $13.73 on our 900,000 shares under the Kinross collar increased by approximately $1,519,000 and the fair value of our liability related to the upper threshold prices on our 900,000 shares under the Kinross Collar decreased by approximately $3,178,000, which accounted for the unrealized gain on derivative instrument duringDuring the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2008, we recorded an unrealized loss on derivative instrument of $864,000. There were no similar items during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007.

          General We have recorded a derivative instrument liability of $4,443,000 and administrative costs were $815,000 during$1,702,000, respectively, for the three months ended Septemberfair market value of the Kinross Collar as of June 30, 2008 compared to $888,000 inand December 31, 2007. We have recorded $1,918,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in cost was primarilyfair market value related to a decrease in stock option compensation expense in the third quarter of 2008 to $230,000 compared to $419,000 in the third quarter of 2007. This decrease in costs was partially offset by increases in other general and administrative costs including an increase in salary expense to $292,000 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $214,000 in the third quarter of 2007; a loss in currency exchange during the three months ended September 30, 2008 of $42,000 compared to a loss of $17,000 during the same period of 2007; and an increase in certain shareholder and regulatory costs to $52,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $32,000 during the same period of 2007. The remaining general and administrativ e costs were comparable between the third quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007.

          We account for our employee stock options under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, which requires the expensing400,000 shares of the grant date fair valueKinross Collar due on April 14, 2009 as a current liability as of options over the term of their vesting. We estimate the fair values of the options granted using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we recognized $230,000 of stock-based compensation expense as part of general and administrative expense for the vesting of the options pursuant to the 2006 Plan compared to $419,000 recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2007. See Employee stock compensation plans in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements2008.

          During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, on June 27, 2008, we sold 50,00042,920 shares of Kinross stock for proceeds of $1,214,000$986,000 and recorded a gain on sale of $993,000 compared to the sale of 100,000 shares of Kinross for proceeds of $1,332,000 for which$796,000. The transaction settled on July 1, 2008 and we recorded a gain on salereceivable for the proceeds in other current assets as of $889,000 duringJune 30, 2008. There were no sales of Kinross stock in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007. We anticipate we will sell additional shares of Kinross during the remainder of 2008 to fund our ongoing expenditures for exploration and general and administrative costs. See also "Liquidity and Capital Resources," below.

         Depreciation and amortization expense was $25,000 during the second quarter of 2008 compared to $16,000 in the second quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of the addition of trucks used for exploration, furniture and fixtures during the first half of 2008 and 2007, which replaced older outdated equipment which had been fully depreciated. We amortize these assets over a three year period. We do not expect a significant change in our depreciation and amortization costs during the remainder of 2008.

          During the second quarter of 2008 we recorded interest income of $10,000 compared to interest income of $23,000 during the same period in 2007. The increase in the gain was thea result of a difference insmaller cash balances and lower interest rates on those deposits during the price we received on a per share basis insecond quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. We anticipate wethat our cash balances will continue to liquidate ourfluctuate during the year primarily as a result of the timing of sales of Kinross holdings over the next three years. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.stock discussed above.

          We regularly perform evaluations of our assets to assess the recoverability of our investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable utilizing established guidelines based upon future net cash flows from the asset. We recorded nodid not record any property abandonment and impairment costsor write-downs during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008. During the three months ended September 30, 20072008 or 2007. However we recorded $5,000did transfer $30,000 of property abandonment and impairment costcosts related to our Corazon property project. We cannot predict if or when we may have additional property impairments, which is significantly affected by drilling, sampling and other geologic resultsChambara agreement from each property we own. See Critical Accounting Estimatesbelow.

          We recorded $200,000 of joint venture and property payment revenuesMineral Properties, net during the three months ended September 30,second quarter of 2008 on our Bongará project pursuant to our joint venture agreement with Votorantim compared to $100,000investment in joint venture and property payments in the same period of 2007.

          We recorded a deferred tax expensebenefit of $1,779,000$130,000 during the thirdsecond quarter of 2008 compared to a deferred tax expensebenefit of $160,000$401,000 during the thirdsecond quarter of 2007. The tax expensebenefit was primarily related to our net gain on derivative instrument, discussed above,loss, less a valuation allowance we provide for our foreign net operating losses, which areour primarily related to our exploration activities in Peru, Mexico, Bolivia and Brazil. We do not currently anticipate having any currently payable income taxes due to the use of previously generated net operating loss carryforwards. These net operating losses on United States activities are expected to be available to offset a portion of future taxable income related to our future sales of Kinross common stock. We provide a valuation allowance for our foreign net operating losses, which are primarily related to our exploration activities in Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. We anticipate we will c ontinuecontinue to provide a valuation allowance for these net operating losses until we are in a net tax liability position with regards to

Comparison of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007

          We had a loss of $1,036,000$2,923,000 or $0.03$0.10 per share for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 compared to a loss of $1,635,000$921,000 or $0.06$0.03 per share for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007. The primary reasonsreason for the decreaseincrease in the loss in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 from the loss in the same period of 2007 were (i)was the salerecording of 192,920 sharesa loss on derivative instrument related to our Kinross Collar, discussed above of Kinross stock for proceeds of $4,430,000 and a gain on sale of $3,576,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the sale of 300,000 shares of Kinross for proceeds of $3,977,000 and a gain on sale of $2,957,000$2,731,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007; and (ii) we recorded an unrealized gain on derivative instrumentsfirst half of $1,966,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and there was no similar item duringin 2007. In addition our exploration expense increased to $2,047,000 in the same periodfirst half of 2007. We also received a joint venture payment of $200,000 on our Bongará project, discussed above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $1,052,000 as a result of consolidating all Pedra Branca exploration costs in 2008, which were netted against joint venture payment of $100,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. These increases were partially mitigated by increasespayments in our exploration expenditures and increases in our general and administrative costs2007 as well as an increase in our deferred tax expense to $1,262,000 during the nine months ended September 30,reconnaissance exploration activities in 2008 compared to $497,000 during2007. Our general and administrative costs decreased to $1,223,000 in the nine months ended September 30,first half of 2008 compared to $1,644,000 in the fir st half of 2007 primarily as a result of a significant decrease in our stock option compensation expense. These cost increases were partially offset by an increase in the gain on sale of marketable equity securities of $2,583,000 on the sale of 142,920 shares of Kinross common stock in the first half of 2008 compared to the gain on sale of marketable equity securities of $2,068,000 on the sale of 200,000 shares of Kinross common stock in the first half of 2007 and an income tax benefit of $342,000 recorded in the first half of 2008 compared to an income tax expense of $286,000 recorded in the first half of 2007. TheseEach of these items areis discussed in more detail below.

          Our exploration expense increased to $3,312,000$2,047,000 during the first ninesix months of 2008 compared to $1,898,000$1,052,000 in the first ninesix month of 2007. This was primarily due to the consolidation of $1,062,000$504,000 of net Pedra Branca exploration expense incurred by PBM during the first ninesix months of 2008 as a result of Anglo earning 15% interest in PBM, discussed above, compared to a reimbursement of our Pedra Branca exploration expenditures, resulting in a net credit of $65,000$56,000 in the first nine monthshalf of 2007. In addition we initiatedincreased our exploration activities on our strategic alliance properties including Chonta and Cajatambo as well as two new projects in Mexico, our La Purica and Paria Cruz Projects during 2008 and had a significant increase in our exploration activities at our Mercurio project where we conducted a drilling program during the first half of 2008. The expenditures related to these activitiesThese increases are summarizeddetailed in the exploration expense table shown above. In addition, during 2008 we increased our exploration efforts in Peru, Brazil and Mexico,Mexic o, portions of which led to the addition of the Cajatambo, Excelsior, Chonta, Paria Cruz, La Noria Purica and EspanolaPurica projects during the first half of 2008.

          Excluding the $689,000$17,000 and $790,000,$618,000, respectively, of stock-option compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30,first half of 2008 and 2007, discussed below, other general and administrative costs were $1,791,000$1,205,000 during the first ninesix months of 2008 compared to $1,496,000$1,026,000 in the same period of 2007.

The increase included salary increases granted during 2007 being effective for the entire year of 2008 and the addition of personnel in our Wheat Ridge, Colorado offices. Office and insurance expense increased to $154,000$160,000 in the first ninesix months of 2008 compared to $131,000 during$135,000 in the same periodfirst six months of 2007. Legal and accounting costs increased to $221,000$152,000 in the first ninesix months of 2008 compared to $169,000$87,000 in the first ninesix months of 2007. Our travel and shareholder services expens esexpenses also increased to $346,000 during$257,000 in the ninefirst six months ended September 30,of 2008 compared to $281,000$217,000 in the same period of 2007. Partially mitigating these increased costs were reductions for employment agency fees which werewer e $30,000 in 2007, and there was no similar expense in 2008.2008 and an increase in currency gain to $24,000 during in the first six months of 2008 compared to a currency gain of $17,000 in the first six months of 2007.

          We regularly perform evaluations of our assets to assess the recoverability of our investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable utilizing established guidelines based upon future net cash flows from the asset. We recorded a $5,000 mineral property write-down related to our Las Purisimas property in Mexico during the ninefirst six months ended September 30,of 2007. There were no property write-downs during the first six months of 2008. However we did transfer $30,000 of costs related to our Chambara agreement

from Mineral Properties, net during the first half of 2008 to our investment in unconsolidated subsidiary, discussed above under "Recent Developments."

          During the first six months of 2008 we recorded interest and dividend income of $83,000 compared to interest income of $34,000 during the same period in 2007. The increased gain on saleincrease was attributed to an increase ina result of the price per sharereceipt of a $50,000 dividend on our salesKinross shares received during the nine months ended September 30,first half of 2008 compared to the same periodfirst half of 2007. We anticipate we will continue to liquidate our Kinross holdings over the next three years. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.2007, when no dividend was declared or paid by Kinross.

The deferred tax expense during the first nine months of 2008in 2007 primarily related to the tax expense from the taxable gain from theon sale of our Kinross common stock, which was approximately equal to the gross proceeds of $4,430,000, discussed above, compared to the taxable gain of $3,977,000 during the nine months

These increases in taxable gainless United States costs, which were partially offset by the increase inprimarily general and administrative costs, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007, discussed above. WeBecause we provide a valuation allowance for our foreign net operating losses, which areour primarily related to our exploration activities in Mexico Peru, Bolivia and Brazil.Brazil, not all of our recorded exploration expenditures are available to offset gains associated with the sale of our Kinross common stock and accordingly, we recorded a deferred tax expense in the first six months of 2007. We anticipate we will continue to provide a valuation allowance for thesethes e net operating losses until we are in a net tax liability position with regardsregard to those countries where we operate or until it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize those net operating losses in the future.

Investment in Marketable Equity Securities

          Our marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which is based upon market quotes of the underlying securities. At SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we owned 1,150,0001,200,000 and 1,342,920 shares of Kinross common stock, respectively. The Kinross shares are recorded at their fair market value of $18,538,000$28,332,000 and $24,710,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Changes in the fair value of marketable equity securities are recorded as gains and losses in other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we recorded a loss on marketable equity securities in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity of $8,664,000$1,782,000 and $1,875,000,$6,789,000, respectively, less related deferred tax benefit of $3,232,000$665,000 and $699,000,$2,532,000, in addition we reclassified $993,000$796,000 and $3,576,000,$2,583,000, respectively, of unrealized gain on marketable equity securities, net of related deferred taxes of $370,000$297,000 and $1,334,000,$963,000, respectively, to gain on sale of marketable equity securities as a result of the sale of 50,00042,920 and 192,920,142,920, respectively, shares of Kinross during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.

Hedge of the Investment in Kinross Collar

          On October 12, 2007 we entered into a Zero-Premium Equity Collar (the "Kinross Collar") pursuant to a Master Agreement for Equity Collars and a Pledge and Security Agreement with UBS whereby we pledged 900,000 shares of Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") common shares to be sold (or delivered back to us with any differences settled in cash) . In accordance with the terms of the Kinross Collar, asAs the result of dividendsa dividend that Kinross paid on each of March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 of $0.04 per share, the prices under the Kinross Collar have been reduced, by the $0.08$0.04 per share from the price originally set on October 12, 2007.share.

Kinross' quoted closing price was $16.37 per share on October 12, 2007, the date of the initiation of the Kinross Collar.

          We have not designated the Kinross Collar as a hedging instrument as described in SFAS No. 133 and any changes in the fair market value of the Kinross Collar are recognized in the statement of operations in the period of the change. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we recorded an unrealized gainloss on derivative instrument of $4,697,000$864,000 and $1,966,000,$2,731,000, respectively. There were no similar items during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007. We have recorded a derivative instrument assetliability of $264,000$4,433,000 and $1,702,000, respectively, for the fair market value of the Kinross Collar as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and a derivative instrument liability of $1,702,000 for the fair market value of the Kinross Collar as of December 31, 2007. We have recorded $110,000$1,918,000 for the fair market value related to 400,000 shares of the Kinross Collar due on April 14, 2009 as a current assetliability as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008.

Working Capital

          We had working capital of $6,571,000$5,574,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2008 compared to working capital of $6,245,000 as of December 31, 2007. Our working capital at SeptemberJune 30, 2008 consists of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable equity securities, primarily consisting of the current portion of our investment in 1,150,0001,200,000 shares of Kinross common stock of $4,836,000,$7,083,000, less related current deferred taxes of $1,663,000.$2,487,000. In addition, at SeptemberJune 30, 2008 we have recorded $110,000$1,918,000 as a current assetliability for the estimated fair value of the Kinross collar due on April 19, 2009. We intend to liquidate a portion of our Kinross shares over the next three years, subject to the Kinross Collar discussed above, to reduce our exposure to a single asset, taking into consideration our cash and liquidity requirements, tax implications, the market price of gold and the market price of Kinross stock.stock and have forecasted the sale of 300,000 shares of Kinross dur ing 2008 for expected proceeds of $6,415,000. During the first ninesix months of 2008, we have sold 192, 920142,920 of those shares for net proceeds of $4,430,000,$3,215,000, of which $986,000 were received in July 2008 and we do not anticipate selling any additional Kinross shares for the remainder ofare recorded as a receivable in other current assets at June 30, 2008. Any funds received from the sale of Kinross shares would be used primarily to fund exploration on our existing properties, for the acquisition and exploration of new properties and general working capital.

          Cash and cash equivalents were $3,088,000$1,857,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 compared to $2,250,000 at December 31, 2007. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2008, our cash balances along with our investment in marketable equity securities not subject to the Kinross Collar are considered adequate to fund our expected expenditures over the next year. The nature of the mining business requires significant sources of capital to fund exploration, development and operation of mining projects. We will need additional resources if we choose to develop on our own any mineral deposits we have. We anticipate that we would finance these activities through the use of joint venture arrangements, the issuance of debt or equity, the sale of interests in our properties or the sale of our shares of Kinross common stock. There can be no assurance that such sources of funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

          During the first ninesix months of 2008, holders exercised options for 130,75074,500 shares for proceeds of $149,000.$92,000. Of these, options for 110,00060,000 shares at an exercise price of Cdn$0.81 were granted undermade from the 1994 Plan and options for 20,75014,500 shares at weighted averagean exercise price of Cdn$3.453.65 were granted undermade from the 2006 Plan. The activity for stock options outstanding under the 1994 Plan and the 2006 Plan as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 can be found in Note 1, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1 of this Form 10-Q10-Q/A under the title "Employee stock"Stock compensation plans."

          There are noAll of our options available for exercise from ourboth the 1994 Plan and the 2006 Plan are significantly "in the money" as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008. Subsequent to June 30, 2008, the remaining options for 50,000 shares from the 1994 Plan were exercised for proceeds of $40,000. We do not anticipate any significant additional exercises of options from the 2006 Planplan during the remainder of 2008. Of our outstanding options, 1,544,0001,560,500 options from the 2006 Plan expire on June 27, 2011.

(e.)          The stock option liabilities of $3,999,000 and $4,263,000, respectively, as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 do not affect working capital or require the use of cash for settlement. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of our stock option liability is charged or credited to stock option compensation expense, including forfeitures and expirations. Upon exercise of any option, the fair value on the date of exercise is transferred to additional paid-in-capital.

(e). Cash Flows

          Net cash used in operations during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 increased to $4,951,000$3,211,000 compared to $3,218,000$2,261,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007 primarily as a result of increased general and administrative expenses and increased gross exploration expense, related to increased exploration activities, as well as increased general and administration costs discussed abovewhich were offset in results2007 by joint venture reimbursement of operations.$587,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007. In addition, duringwe had a net reduction in our accounts payable of $50,000 in the first ninesix months ofended June 30, 2008 we recordedcompared to a net increase (usein accounts payable of cash)$69,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007. These increases in the use of cash were partially mitigated by a smaller increase in our prepaid expenses and receivables of $191,000, comparedother current assets to a decrease in our prepaid expenses and receivables (source of cash) of $57,000$61,000 during the first ninesix months of 2007.

          We provided $4,298,000$2,108,000 and $2,612,000, respectively, in cash from investing activities during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and 2007 which waswere primarily from the sale of 192,920100,000 shares and 200,000 shares, respectively, of Kinross common stock for proceeds of $2,229,000 and $2,645,000, respectively, discussed above. As discussed above, we sold an additional 42,920 shares of Kinross forstock in the six months ended June 30, 2008, however the proceeds of $4,430,000 compared to $3,801,000 in cash$986,000 from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 whichthis sale was primarily from the sale of 300,000 shares of Kinross for proceeds of $3,977,000, discussed above.not received until July 2008. In addition we used $105,000$100,000 for acquisition of mineral property discussed above under "Recent Developments" in the first ninesix months of 2008 compared to $34,000 in the first ninesix months of 2007 for the addition of two new properties, Titicayo in Bolivia and Pau d'Arco in Brazil.properties. We also acquired additional exploration vehicles, furniture and fixtures using $59,000of $53,000 during 2008 compared to $168,000$25,000 in 2007.

          Net cash provided from financing activities increased to $1,491,000$710,000 in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 from $572,000 in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007, holders exercised options for 917,000 shares of our common stock for proceeds of $572,000.

(f.)(f). Exploration Activities and Contractual Obligations

          A significant part of our business involves the review of potential property acquisitions and continuing review and analysis of properties in which we have an interest, to determine the exploration and development potential of the properties. In analyzing expected levels of expenditures for work commitments and property payments, our obligations to make such payments fluctuate greatly depending on whether, among other things, we make a decision to sell a property interest, convey a property interest to a joint venture, or allow our interest in a property to lapse by not making the work commitment or payment required. In acquiring our interests in mining claims and leases, we have entered into agreements, which generally may be canceled at our option. We are required to make minimum rental and option payments in order to maintain our interest in certain claims and leases. Our net 2007 mineral property rental and option paym ents were approximately $404,000. In 2008 we estimate our full-year mineral property r entalrental and option payments to be approximately $410,000.$390,000. Approximately $190,000 of these annual payments is reimbursable to us by our joint venture partners. Our net 2007 mineral property rental and option payments were approximately $404,000.

          We may be required to make further payments in the future if we elect to exercise our options under those agreements. As part of the Alliance Agreement (discussed below under "Joint Ventures, Royalty and the Strategic Alliance Properties") we are committed to spend $3,773,000 over the four years from the date of the Alliance Agreement on gold exploration in regions ("Alliance Projects Areas") that are mutually agreed upon by Newmont Exploration and us. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we have spent approximately $2,603,000$2,244,000 of this commitment.

           As of SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we have no outstanding long-term debt, capital lease or other purchase obligations. We estimate our facility lease costs are approximately $38,000 per year, related to the Wheat Ridge, Colorado office.

          We currently have deferred tax liabilities recorded in the amount of $5,864,000.$7,109,000. These deferred tax liabilities primarily relate to our unrealized holding gains on our Kinross shares. We expect that a portion of these deferred tax liabilities may become currently payable as we sell the Kinross shares. We have recorded an assetliability of $264,000$4,433,000 for the fair value of the Kinross Collar, of which $110,000$1,918,000 is a current assetliability as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008.

Bongara

          On March 24, 2007, we signed a definitive agreement (the "Framework Agreement") whereby Votorantim Metais ("Votorantim") can earn up to a 70% interest in our Bongara project through a joint operating company by completing future annual exploration and development expenditures, and by making annual cash payments to Solitario of $200,000 until a production decision is made by Votorantim. See the discussion of the Framework Agreement in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. Votorantim has conducted ais planning additional drilling program at Bongara which is expected to be concluded during the fourththird quarter of 2008.

Pachuca Real

          On September 25, 2006 we signed a definitive venture agreement (the "Venture Agreement") with Newmont de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("Newmont"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, on our Pachuca Real silver-gold project in central Mexico. Newmont can earn up to a 51% interest in the project by completing (i) a firm work commitment of $2.0 million by May 1, 2008, which Newmont has completed, and (ii) completing total work commitments over 4.5 years from the date of the Venture Agreement of $12.0 million. Newmont will have the right to earn up to a 65% interest by completing a feasibility study and an additional 5%, to a total of 70%, if we elect to have Newmont fund our portion of construction costs plus interest. See the discussion of the Venture Agreement in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. Newmont conducted a 5,000 meter drilling program and mapping and sampling at Pachu caPac huca during the second quarter of 2008.

Pedra Branca

          On April 24, 2007, we signed an agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement") relating to the Pedra Branca Project in Brazil with Anglo Platinum for the exploration and development of the Pedra Branca Project. Solitario's and Anglo Platinum's property interests are held through the ownership of shares in PBM. As part of the agreement, Anglo Platinum earned a 15% interest in PBM, as of September 30, 2007. Anglo Platinum can earn an additional 15% in PBM, to a total 30% interest, by funding $1.5 million towards the 2008 budget and work program, of which Anglo Platinum has funded approximately $1.3 million as of September 30, 2008, or by completing the funding and expenditures of the 2008 work program as of December 31, 2008. We anticipate Anglo Platinum will have met these funding and expenditure

requirements to earn a 30% interest on or before December 31, 2008. Anglo Platinum can earn an additional 21% interest in PBM, up to a 51% interest, by spending a total of $7 million on the project and can earn a 60% interest by completing a bankable feasibility study, or spending an additional $10 million on exploration. Anglo Platinum can also earn an additional 5% interest in PBM (for a total of 65%) by arranging 100% financing to put the project into commercial production. Anglo Platinum is not required to make any future funding of exploration expenditures. Future cash contributions by Anglo Platinum will be recorded as additions to additional paid-in-capital. See the discussion of the Shareholders Agreement in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. We recorded a minority interest in PBM of $416,000$392,000 and $388,000, respectively as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 equal to Anglo Platinum's 15% interest in the book value of PBM. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 we recorded $85,000$40,000 and $173,000,$88,000, respectively, for Anglo Platinum's minority interest in the loss of PBM. Solitario receives a 5%

During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, Anglo contributed $724,000 and $1,342,000, respectively$618,000 to the paid-in-capital of PBM pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement to fund PBM exploration activities. We reduced these payments with a charge to additional paid-in-capital of $109,000 and $93,000, respectively duringDuring the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2008 for Anglo Platinum's 15% minority interest. During the nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we increased our land position at Pedra Branca to 178,514 hectares from 45,365 hectares. We believe this new land area has the potential to host platinumPlatinum and palla diumPalladium mineralization and nickelNickel mineralization. During 2008 we have budgeted approximately $1.5 million for exploration that will focus on regional reconnaissance exploration on our new property position and approximately 2,000 meters of drilling offsetting areas of known mineralization. We will also be completing surface work including mapping anda nd sampling of the newly acquired mineral rights during 2008 at Pedra Branca. Pursuant to the ShareholdersShareholders' Agreement, Anglo Platinum will fund all 2008 exploration work.

Newmont Alliance

          On January 18, 2005, we signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the "Alliance Agreement") with Newmont Overseas Exploration Limited ("Newmont Exploration"), to explore for gold in South America (the "Strategic Alliance"). As part of the Alliance Agreement we are committed to spend $3,773,000 over the four years from the date of the Alliance Agreement on gold exploration in regions ("Alliance Projects Areas") that are mutually agreed upon by Newmont Exploration and us. See the discussion of the Alliance Agreement in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we have spent approximately $2,603,000$2,244,000 of this commitment. We are planning additional work on our newly-acquired Alliance properties, Cajatambo, Chonta and Excelsior, discussed below during the remainder of 2008.

Yanacocha Royalty Property

          The Yanacocha royalty property consists of a royalty interest in 69 concessions totaling approximately 61,000 hectares in northern Peru 25 kilometers north of the city of Cajamarca. In January 2005, we signed an Amended and Restated Royalty Grant with Minera Los Tapados S.A., a subsidiary of Newmont Peru Limited, Minera Yanacocha S.R.L., and Minera Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca, S.R.L. (affiliates of Newmont Peru, Ltd., collectively "Newmont Peru") that provides us with a sliding scale royalty of between 2% and 5%, less any royalty imposed by the Government of Peru. As part of the agreement, Newmont Peru, through its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, agreed to spend an aggregate of $4.0 million on Solitario's royalty property during the next eight years. See the discussion of the Yanacocha royalty agreement in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.

La Tola Royalty Property

          In August 2007 we signed a Letter of Intent with Canadian Shield Resources ("CSR") allowing CSR to earn a 100%-interest in the property, subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") to our benefit. To earn its interest, CSR is required to spend $2.0 million in exploration by December 31, 2011. CSM has the right to purchase the 2% NSR for $1.5 million anytime before commercial production is reached. Because the Letter of Intent with CSR provides that our ending interest in La Tola will be a 2% net smelter royalty, rather than a working interest, we currently classify the La Tola gold property as a royalty property interest.

Chambara

          On April 4, 2008 we signed the Minera Chambara shareholders' agreement with Votorantim for the exploration of a large area of interest in northern Peru measuring approximately 200 by 85 kilometers. Votorantim contributed titled mineral properties within the area of interest totaling approximately 51,000 hectares for a 15% interest in Minera Chambara. We contributed 9,500 hectares of mineral claims and certain exploration data in our possession for an 85%

<PAGE>

interest in Minera Chambara. Existing and future properties subject to the terms of the joint venture will be held by Minera Chambara. Votorantim may increase its shareholding interest to 49% by expending $6,250,000 over seven years and may increase its interest to 70% by funding a feasibility study and providing for construction financing for our interest. If Votorantim provides such construction financing, we would repay such financing, including interest from 80% of Solitario'sSol itario's portion of the project cash flow. We record our investment in Minera Chambara using the equity-method of accounting. During the second quarter of 2008, we transferred our interest in the claims from mineral properties, net of $30,000 to investment in unconsolidated subsidiary. We have estimated as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 that our net equity in Minera Chambara, as a result of exploration activity by Votorantim during the second quarter of 2008, is negative. Accordingly, we reduced our investment in unconsolid atedunconsolidated subsidiary to zero, through a non-cash charge to exploration expense. Solitario does not anticipate it will record an increase in the book value of its 85% equity-method investment in the shares of Minera Chambara in the foreseeable future.

(h). Wholly-owned Exploration Properties

Santiago

          In February of 2007, we acquired 5,600 hectares of 100%-owned mineral rights through concessions for our Santiago property in southern Peru. We are currently conducting additional surface sampling and geological mapping to determine if the project warrants drill testing.

Mercurio

          In September 2005, we completed an option agreement for the purchase of 100% of the mineral rights over the 8,550-hectare Mercurio property in the state of Para, Brazil.  We have conducted extensive soil sampling and auger testing of soils over a large portion of the property during the past fourthree years with threeand two rounds of core drilling of 36 total holes.23 holes totaling 4,031 meters during 2005 and 2006. A third round of core drilling was completed in the first quarter of 2008 and we are currently in discussions with a potential joint venture partner.2008.

Triunfo

          The 256-hectare Triunfo poly-metallic exploration property interest in Bolivia was acquired in 2003. A payment of $45,000 wasis due in 2008 in order to keep the agreement in good standing. An option to purchase the property for $1,000,000 must be exercised by September 2009. A geophysical survey has been completed on the property and three holes were drilled in the first half of 2007. The results of these three holes were highly encouraging, but we are monitoring the political situation in Bolivia before committing to a second round of drilling. In June of 2008 we amended the contract with the option holder for the Triunfo property that suspends the payments agreed to under the contract. For the right to suspend payments we are required to pay $5,000 per year until such time as we decide to continue exploration drilling. The first payment of the "stand-by" period was made on signing of the amendment and such suspension sh allsha ll continue for so long as we pay $5,000 on the anniversary of the signing of the amendment.

Cajatambo

          During January and March of 2008 Solitario staked 9,000 hectares of mineral rights at the Cajatambo area in central Peru. We capitalized $28,000 in associated costs during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008. No payments are due to third parties and the only holding costs for the mineral rights are annual payments of three dollars per hectare to the Peruvian government during the first six years that the claims are held. We have collected rock and soil samples and have conducted certain geophysical surveys during 2008 in preparation for a drilling program which was begunlater in the fourth quarter of 2008. We are currently awaiting assay results from this drilling program.year. The Cajatambo property is subject to the provisions of the Newmont Alliance as discussed above.

Chonta

          During March 2008 we entered into an agreement with the underlying property owner for the Chonta property consisting of one claim of 583 hectares. We capitalized $42,000 to mineral properties for initial acquisition costs, which included a $40,000 payment to the underlying property owner upon the signing of the Chonta agreement. We are required to pay $2,250,000 over five years to acquire 100% of the property. Solitario can unilaterally terminate the agreement at any time. Additionally, we have staked four claims and now hold 4,583 hectares in Solitario's name that enlarges the outer perimeter of the Solitario held land position. We have collected rock and soil samples and plan to perform additional geochemical sampling, geologic mapping and certain geophysical surveys during 2008 in preparation for drilling eitherlater in the fourth quarter of 2008 or the spring of 2009.year. The Chonta property is subject to the provisions of the Newmont Alliance as discussed above.

Excelsior

          During January 2008 Solitario staked 2,000 hectares of mineral rights in the Excelsior area of central Peru. We capitalized $6,000 in mineral property payments for initial acquisition costs during the first three months of 2008. No payments are due to third parties so the only holding costs for the mineral rights are annual payments of three dollars per hectare to the Peruvian government during the first six years that the claims are held. We have collected rock and soil samples and plan to perform additional geologic work during 2008 in preparation for potential drilling later in 2009.the year. The Excelsior property is subject to the provisions of the Newmont Alliance as discussed above.

Paria Cruz

          During the first six months of 2008, Solitario staked 3,000 hectares of mineral rights for the Paria Cruz project in central Peru. We capitalized $10,000 in mineral property payments for initial acquisition costs during the second quarter of 2008. No payments are due to third parties so the only holding costs for the mineral rights are annual payments of three dollars per hectare to the Peruvian government during the first six years that the claims are held. We are evaluating the Paria Cruz project by the collection of rock and soil samples to determine what additional, if the project warrants drillingany additional geologic work will be done during 2009.2008. The Paria Cruz property is subject to the provisions of the Newmont Alliance as discussed above.

La Noria

          During the second quarter we staked 10,000 hectares in Sonora State of Mexico comprising the La Noria project. Strong alteration of rocks detected by the study of satellite images suggests good potential for the discovery of porphyry copper deposits. We startedwill start a reconnaissance exploration program of surface work in the fourththird quarter.

Purica

          In early April 2008 we optioned 1,131 hectares in the Sonora state of Mexico over a large area of alteration between the La Caridad and Cananea open pit copper mines. Subsequently, we staked an additional 1914 hectares in the name of Solitario's subsidiary in Mexico. Geologic mapping and geochemical sampling is ongoing in preparation for drilling later in 2008.

Espanola20

(j). Critical Accounting Estimates

Management's Discussion and Analysis and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008, we have adopted the following accounting policy:

Fair Value

          Effective January 1, 2008, Solitario adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS No. 157 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

<PAGE>

          The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. See additional discussion of fair value under Note 1 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

(1)   Solitario's investment in Kinross is subject to equity market risk.

          As of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 a hypothetical increase of ten percent in the price of Kinross common stock would increase the value of our holdings of Kinross by $1,854,000$2,833,000 and increase other comprehensive income total stockholders' equity by the same amount, net of deferred taxes of $691,000.$1,057,000. Additionally, our working capital would also be increased by $486,000$708,000 from a hypothetical increase of ten percent in the price of Kinross common stock, net of deferred taxes of $181,000.$264,000. This increase is based upon all of our 1,150,0001,200,000 Kinross common shares as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008, and is subject to the Kinross Collar discussed above.

          A hypothetical decrease of ten percent in the price of Kinross common stock would have the opposite effect of the increase discussed above. This decrease is based upon all of our 1,150,0001,200,000 Kinross common shares as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008, and is subject to the Kinross Collar discussed above.

(2)     Solitario's Kinross Collar derivative instrument is subject to equity market risk.

          We have estimated, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 a hypothetical increase of ten percent in the price of Kinross common stock would decreaseincrease the value of our assetliability under the Kinross Collar by $730,000,$1,634,000, net of deferred taxes of $272,000$609,000 and increase our net loss in the statement of operations by $458,000.$1,025,000. We have also estimated that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 a hypothetical decrease of ten percent in the price of Kinross common stock would increasedecrease the value of our assetliability under the Kinross Collar by $968,000,$1,561,000, net of deferred taxes of $361,000$582,000 and would decrease our net loss in the statement of operations by $607,000.$979,000.

          (3)     Solitario's stock option liability is subject to equity market risk for changes in the price of our own stock

          We have estimated, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that as of June 30, 2008 a hypothetical increase of ten percent in the price of our common stock as traded on the TSX would increase our stock option liability by $660,000, net of deferred taxes of $230,000 and increase our net loss in the statement of operations by $430,000. We have also estimated that as of June 30, 2008 a hypothetical decrease of ten percent in the price of our common stock as traded on the TSX would decrease our stock option liability by $642,000, net of deferred taxes of $224,000 and would decrease our net loss in the statement of operations by $417,000.

(b.)Interest Rate Risks 

          Solitario's Kinross Collar derivative instrument fair market valuation is subject to interest rate risk.

          We have estimated, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 a hypothetical increase of ten percent in the risk-free interest rate used to compute the fair market value of our assetliability under the Kinross Collar would decreaseincrease the assetliability by $24,000,$45,000, net of deferred taxes of $10,000$17,000 and increase our net loss in the statement of operations by $14,000.$28,000. We have also estimated that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 a hypothetical decrease of ten percent in the risk-free interest rate used to compute the fair market value of our liability under the Kinross Collar would increasedecrease the fair value of our assetliability by $24,000,$45,000, net of deferred taxes of $10,000$17,000 and would decrease our net loss in the statement of operations by $14,000.$28,000.

          We have no other material interest rate risks at June 30, 2008, as we have no interest bearing debt and our interest bearing cash deposits do not generate a material amount of interest income. Additionally, a change in the risk free interest rate would not materially change the determination of our stock option liability at June 30, 2008.

25(c.) ExchangeRate Risks

          <PAGE>Solitario's stock option liability is subject to exchange rate risk

          We have estimated, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that as of June 30, 2008 a hypothetical increase of ten percent in the relative value of the Canadian dollar compared to the United States dollar would increase our stock option liability by $400,000, net of deferred taxes of $140,000 and increase our net loss in the statement of operations by $260,000. We have also estimated that as of June 30, 2008 a hypothetical decrease of ten percent in the relative value of the Canadian dollar compared to the United States dollar would decrease our stock option liability by $400,000, net of deferred taxes of $140,000 and would decrease our net loss in the statement of operations by $260,000.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures -As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on thattheir evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officerour principal executive officer and Chief Financial Officerprincipal financial officer have concluded that the Company'sour system of disclosure controls and procedures werewas not effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 due to ensure that information requireda material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which we consider to be disclosedan integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures, as discussed below. However, subsequent to June 30, 2008 we made changes to disclosure controls and procedures as discussed below.

This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company'sthere was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that caused our system of internal control over financial reporting to not be effective as of June 30, 2008 as discussed below. However, subsequent to June 30, 2008 we made changes to our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below. Within the quarter ended June 30, 2008, there were no significant changes to internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal control over financial reporting.

Reported material weaknesses and corrective actions -The restatement discussed in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report was the result of a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. This weakness was the failure to evaluate, interpret and apply new and existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") in our financial statements and disclosures. This weakness resulted in the classification of our stock options as equity instruments rather than as liabilities for accounting purposes. Please see Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of these items.

          We have taken measures to cure this weakness, which include implementing, as part of our policies and procedures, a requirement that management document in writing, at least quarterly, the impact of new and existing GAAP to our financial statements and disclosures. Additionally, this work will be reported to and reviewed by our Audit Committee. We believe this additional oversight of our financial reporting and implementation of generally accepted accounting principles by our management, as well as increased review and consultation between management and our Audit Committee has adequately addressed and eliminated the material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting and that with the implementation of these corrective actions our disclosure controls and procedures are now effective.
