VIRGINIA MINES INC. Unaudited Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three-month periods ended May 31, 2014 and 2013 |

(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
| |
1 | General information
Virginia Mines Inc. (the "Company"), incorporated under theCanada Business Corporations Act, is in the business of acquiring and exploring mining properties. It has not yet determined whether its properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mining properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable ore reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to continue the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal of properties.
The address of its registered office is 300 St-Paul St., Suite 200, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. |
| |
2 | Basis of preparation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), applicable to the preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including IAS 34,Interim Financial Reporting, and using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as our most recent annual consolidated financial statements, except for the changes in accounting policies presented in note 3. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on July 10, 2014. |
| |
3 | Changes in accounting policies
Adopted in 2015
The following new standard is effective for the first time for interim periods beginning on or after March 1, 2014 and has been applied in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The accounting policy has been applied consistently by the subsidiary of the Company.
IFRIC 21,Levies (“IFRIC 21”)
In May 2013, the IASB issued International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") 21,Levies. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively. IFRIC 21 provides guidance on accounting for levies in accordance with IAS 37,Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The interpretation defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed by a government in accordance with legislation and confirms that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy only when the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs.
The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements. |

8 | Stock options
The Company has established a stock option plan under which certain key employees, officers, directors and suppliers may be granted stock options of the Company. The number of stock options cannot exceed, at any time, 10% of the number of outstanding shares.

| b) Fair value measurement
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the balance sheet are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – valuation based on quoted prices observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.
A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.
As at May 31, 2014, the classification of the Company's financial instruments, recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, was as follows: |
| |
| | As at May 31, 2014 | |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | |
| | $ | | $ | | $ | |
| Financial assets | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Shares | 8,126,840 | | 76,167 | | - | |
| Bonds | - | | 33,289,789 | | - | |
| Warrants | - | | 617,847 | | - | |
| | | | | | | |
| Total | 8,126,840 | | 33,983,803 | | - | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | As at February 28, 2014 | |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | |
| | $ | | $ | | $ | |
| Financial assets | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Shares | 7,806,994 | | 277,584 | | - | |
| Bonds | - | | 27,632,106 | | - | |
| Warrants | - | | 823,673 | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Total | 7,806,994 | | 28,733,363 | | - | |
| |
| On May 31, 2014, the Company transferred, from level 2 to level 1 an amount of $247,222 of common shares that were no longer on a sale period restriction.
No other transfer attributable to changes in the observability of market data was made among the fair value measurement hierarchy levels during the three-month period ended May 31, 2014. |

| |
| The valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value are as follows:
The fair value of shares is established using the bid price on the most beneficial active market for these instruments that is readily available to the Company. When a bid price is not available, the Company uses the closing price of the most recent transaction on such instrument. If the instrument is on a sale period restriction, the fair value is discounted and the instrument is classified in level 2.
The fair value of warrants is established through the use of the Black & Scholes pricing model, which uses share price inputs and volatility measurements. If the instrument is on a sale period restriction, the fair value is discounted.
The fair value of bonds is valued at bid price using independent pricing services or dealer prices. |
| |
| Other information
As at May 31, 2014, gross unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities totalled $221,136 ($165,143 as at February 28, 2014). Of this sum, an amount of $48,328 ($55,281 as at February 28, 2014) is related to bonds and results from changes in market interest rates and not to deterioration in the creditworthiness of issuers. The balance of $172,808 ($109,862 as at February 28, 2014) related to common shares is mainly explained by fluctuations of prices in the market. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value. It assesses that the gross unrealized losses are not significant or prolonged.
The total interest income for financial assets that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss for the three-month period ended May 31, 2014 is $166,000 ($170,000 for the three-month period ended May 31, 2013). |

NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
The Company, incorporated under theCanada Business Corporations Act, is in the business of acquiring and exploring mining properties. It has not yet determined whether its properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mining properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable ore reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal of properties.
The Company specializes in searching for gold and base metal deposits in mostly unexplored territories of Quebec. Most of its activities take place in the central part of Quebec, particularly in the James Bay area, which comprises several Achaean greenstone belts known as being very favourable to the presence of economic gold and base metal deposits. This region differentiates from others by its accessibility and by the existence of explicit agreements governing the access to the territory. The Company is among the most active exploration companies in Quebec with a large portfolio of properties.
EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Activities Summary
During the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, exploration costs rose to $2,782,000 compared to $1,921,000 for the corresponding period of the preceding year. In the recent quarter, the Company was busy completing drilling programs on the Coulon and Wabamisk projects. The Company spent quite a lot of time planning the exploration programs that will be carried out in the summer of 2014 on several of its projects.
COULON PROPERTY
In winter 2014, the Company completed an exploration program on the Coulon base-metal project, located 15 kilometres north of the Fontanges Airport, Quebec Middle-North. It is to be noted that the Coulon project is developed in partnership withSODÉMEX Développement, s.e.c. (“SODÉMEX”) (a subsidiary ofCaisse de dépôt et placement du Québec),Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (F.T.Q.), jointly withFonds régional Nord-du-Québec (collectively the “Fonds”), and SIDEX, s.e.c. (“SIDEX”). The current interest of each party is as follows: the Company (89.8%), SODÉMEX (4.08%), the Fonds (4.08%) and SIDEX (2.04%). The project consists of 498 designated claims covering a surface of 247 square kilometres.
The winter 2014 exploration program included a 15,678-metre drilling program as well as a component of ground and borehole geophysical surveys. Drilling aimed at testing the extensions of Lens 257, Lens 43 and Lens 201. In total, seven new holes as well as the extension of an existing hole were realized in the favourable horizon of Lens 257, while four holes were extended and two holes drilled in the favourable horizon of Lens 43-S. Two holes tested the north extension of Lens 201 while another hole was drilled in the area of Lens 16-17. Finally, seven short holes were drilled in the Spirit area while another three tested the favourable stratigraphy. As regards the geophysics, a ground geophysical survey of 112.4 kilometres (InfiniTEM) was carried out while 25 holes were surveyed with down-hole InfiniTEM.
Most of the holes drilled in the horizon hosting Lens 257 intersected a fertile volcanic sequence characterized by strong hydrothermal alterations and by metric, disseminated to massive sulphide zones. The best values were obtained in the north-east extension of Lens 257 with results of 14.17% Zn, 1.47% Cu and 54.18g/t Ag over 3.9 metres in hole CN-14-276, and of 1.16% Zn, 2.52% Cu and 46.9 g/t Ag over 1 metre in hole CN-14-286 (see horizontal projection of Lens 257). Hole CN-14-278 and the extension of hole CN-08-214 missed the projected extension of Lens 257 to the north-east and, consequently, did not crosscut any significant mineralized zones. Furthermore, holes CN-14-278 and CN-14-286 intercepted a secondary mineralized horizon, which returned 1.91% Zn, 0.95% Cu and 22.94 g/t Ag over 2.7 metres and 3.05% Zn, 0.95% Cu and 36 g/t Ag over 5.8 metres, respectively. This horizon is likely to correspond to the horizon bearing Lens 08. The length of all these intersections is very close to the true thickness of the mineralized zones. Hole CN-14-290 testing the southwest extension of Lens 257 did not crosscut any significant mineralization. Holes CN-14-292B, CN-14-293 and CN-14-296B tested the horizon bearing Lens 257 more than 500 metres to the southwest of Lens 257. These holes failed to intercept significant mineralized zones; however, hole CN-14-296B revealed an interesting off-hole geophysical anomaly. This hole is located in the area of hole CN-11-242, which crosscut, along the same mineral-bearing-horizon, a mineralized interval grading 2.05% Cu, 0.72% Zn, 20.8 g/t Ag and 0.19 g/t Au over 11.2 metres.
These results confirm the northeast continuity of Lens 257, which is now followed over a lateral distance of over 415 metres, at a vertical depth varying between 550 to 850 metres beneath the surface. Lens 257 seems to appear as an elongated mineralized body in accordance with a northeast-southwest direction, dipping moderately to the northwest and plunging gently to the northeast. The lens remains open at depth and is partially restricted to the east by holes CN-12-272 and CN-13-267, and to the west by hole CN-13-269B. The southwest extension of the lens appears to be partly limited by hole CN-14-290. The mineral-bearing-horizon of Lens 257 remains unexplored over a segment of over 400 metres between hole CN-14-290 and the mineralized intersection of hole CN-11-242 previously mentioned.
In the area of Lens 43, the extension of four drill holes aimed primarily at testing the horizon of Lens 43 Sud, which had not been reached by these holes. The extension of holes CN-07-099 and CN-07-107C intercepted strong hydrothermal alteration zones associated with the horizon 43-S while the extensions of holes CN-08-180 and CN-08-182 did not crosscut alteration or significant mineralization. However, an off-hole anomaly was detected at the tip of hole CN-08-180. Two new holes were
also drilled in the area of Lens 43. Hole CN-14-291 targeted the extension of Lens 43-S towards the surface and only intercepted alteration while hole CN-14-279 tested the south hinge zone of Lens 43. This hole did not intercept mineralization but an interesting off-hole anomaly was detected on top of this hole to the south.
A hole was drilled in the area of Lens 16-17 with the goal of extending towards the surface the mineralization obtained in hole CN-11-223, which returned values of 3.86% Zn, 0.7% Cu and 75.09 g/t Ag over 44 metres. Hole CN-14-289 crosscut a semi-massive sulphide zone of over 5 metres in thickness, which returned values of 1.13% Zn, 1.18% Cu and 77.22 g/t Ag over 3.35 metres.
Two holes tested the north and depth extensions of Lens 201. Hole CN-14-297B intersected a zone of disseminated sulphides and with veinlets that returned values of 1.38% Cu, 0.38% Zn and 14.13 g/t Ag over 5.85 metres (including 2.22% Cu, 0.5% Zn and 22.23 g/t Ag over 2.85 metres) thus extending Lens 201 by 30 metres to the north. Hole CN-14-298 intersected a large hydrothermal alteration zone that did not return any economic values.
Elsewhere on the property, seven short exploration holes were drilled in the area of Lens Spirit and targeted geophysical or litho-geochemical anomalies. Holes CN-14-280, CN-14-281, CN-14-282, CN-14-285, CN-14-287 and CN-14-288 all crosscut hydrothermal alteration zones variable in intensity and thickness, sometimes accompanied by disseminated mineralization. Only hole CN-14-283 failed to intercept alteration. No significant drill results were obtained in the Spirit area but some off-hole drill anomalies were observed in some of these holes.
Finally, three other holes were drilled to better understand the stratigraphy of some little-explored, favourable sectors of the property. Stratigraphic holes CN-14-277, CN-14-294B and CN-14-295 did not intercept any significant mineralization but crosscut interesting alteration zones that will help integrate the structural model at depth.
Ground InfiniTEM surveys identified several new anomalies in the southwestern areas of Spirit and Tension. Like the InfiniTEM anomalies identified by drilling, these anomalies will be followed up in the next campaigns.
The Company is satisfied with the winter exploration campaign carried out on the Coulon property. Work confirmed the continuity of Lens 257 and Lens 201 at depth. Lens 257 now covers more than 415 metres laterally and remains open in its long axis. It could continue to the south-southwest up to the mineralized intersection of hole 242 and could reach Lens 9-25 at depth to the north-northeast. Lens 257 is located on the western side of a complex fold, of which the opposite side to the east reveals an identical geology already comprising three important lenses (Lens 08, Lens 9-25 and Lens 44) totalling more than 12 million tonnes.
During the recent quarter, the Company spent $1,940,000 on the Coulon project.
WABAMISK PROPERTY
In winter 2014, the Company carried out a drill campaign on its 100%-owned Wabamisk property, located in the region of the Opinaca Reservoir, on the James Bay territory. The property consists of 1,004 designated claims covering a surface of 527 square kilometres within the Eastmain Achaean volcano-sedimentary belt.
Drilling consisted of 15 new holes (WB-14-030 to 044) and the extension of two former holes (WB-13-016 Ext and WB-13-025 Ext) for a total of 3,210 metres. Work aimed at testing the vertical continuity of the Mustang Vein and of other showings of the main stripping area to depths of 125 to 250 metres beneath the surface. Some holes also tested at shallow depth the extension of the new Challenger and Interceptor gold showings discovered in summer 2013 as well as a geological target in the east portion of the Wabamisk grid.
In the main area, drilling confirmed the vertical continuity of the Mustang Vein down to a depth of about 250 metres and also extended its lateral extension to the east over a distance of 150 metres or so. Given the free and coarse nature of gold in the Mustang Vein, drilling returned varying results but two sectors yielded better values overall. The gold structure is well developed in the inflexion zone of the Mustang Vein where holes WB-14-033 and WB-14-037 crosscut mineralized intersections of decametric thicknesses. The Mustang Vein, which reaches over 6 metres, lies within a plurimetric envelope of highly altered and mineralized meta-wackes (quartz-sericite-tourmaline-biotite-chlorite-arsenopyrite-pyrite). Hole
WB-14-033 returned a mineralized intersection grading 1.69 g/t Au over 13.8 metres, including 2.27 g/t Au over 6.7 metres in the Mustang Vein. Hole WB-14-037 yielded 1.31 g/t Au over 11.75 metres, including 2.19 g/t Au over 2.7 metres in the Mustang Vein. Visible gold was observed in the vein in hole WB-14-033. These intersections are located under hole WB-13-004, which returned 22.64 g/t Au over 2.25 metres in the Mustang Vein. The vein remains totally open at depth in this area. Interesting results were also obtained in the newly defined extension of the Mustang Vein towards the east. Hole WB-14-036 confirmed the continuity of the Mustang Vein under thick overburden with an intersection grading 18.5 g/t Au over 1.9 metres. The vein hosts grains of visible gold. The vertical extension of this intersection was tested and confirmed by the extension of hole WB-13-016, which crosscut two quartz veins grading 64.0 g/t Au over 0.5 metres and 11.6 g/t Au over 0.4 metres. Visible gold was also observed in these two veins. The gold structure remains entirely open at depth and its lateral continuity to the east is confirmed by hole WB-14-038. The true thickness of the mineralized zones is about 80% the length of the drill intersections.
Drilling carried out in the main area also confirmed the presence of several other parallel gold structures that appear to develop to the north of the Mustang Vein. The network of veins and veinlets so far remains little tested but it returned several interesting intersections comprising, in particular, 39.05 g/t Au over 0.9 metres (WB-14-034), 3.61 g/t Au over 4 metres (WB-14-036), 5.24 g/t Au over 2 metres (WB-14-039) and 1.73 g/t Au over 7.4 metres (WB-14-037), in 2014, as well as 1.98 g/t Au over 13.4 metres (including 4,14 g/t Au over 4 metres) (WB-13-015), 6.02 g/t Au over 3.2 metres and 18.05 g/t Au over 0.8 metres (WB-13-025) in 2013. Many of these intersections may be correlated together, suggesting a good continuity of these gold structures. Closely-spaced grid drilling will be needed to test this interpretation. These gold structures clearly remain entirely open laterally and at depth. The other drill results from the main sector generally yielded anomalous values in metric thicknesses.
Elsewhere on the property, hole WB-14-042 confirmed at shallow depth the extension of the Interceptor showing with an intersection grading 22.9 g/t Au over 1 metre. The three other holes in the Interceptor-Challenger sector only returned anomalous values in metric thicknesses. It is to be noted that the Interceptor showing lies within an auriferous corridor situated four kilometres to the north of the corridor hosting the Mustang Vein, in the same sequence of folded sedimentary rocks.
The Company is encouraged by the results of the winter 2014 drilling program. The vertical continuity of the Mustang Vein is confirmed down to a depth of 250 metres and its lateral extension is extended by 150 metres to the east where it remains entirely open in a sector covered with overburden. Notwithstanding the variability in results arising from the free nature of gold, drilling highlighted two sectors that gathered the best values in the inflexion zone and in the east extension of the Mustang Vein. Drilling also revealed the emergence of many other gold structures developed in parallel with the Mustang Vein.
During the recent quarter, the Company spent $408,000 on the Wabamisk project.
OUTLOOK FOR FISCAL 2015
The Company will soon undertake several exploration programs on some of its projects, all located in Quebec, thus pointing to another busy year of its history. It intends to spend, alone or in partnership, during the summer and fall of 2014, over $7.5 million in exploration work. Work will be carried out mostly on the James Bay territory, in the Opinaca-Eastmain, Coulon, La Grande and Caniapiscau regions, on the Nunavik Territory and on the vast territory of the Grenville geological province.
In the greater region of the Opinaca and Eastmain River area, the Anatacau-Wabamisk and Éléonore Régional projects will be the object of surface work (prospecting, geochemistry and mechanical stripping) during the summer and fall of 2014. Mechanical stripping, litho-geochemistry and detailed mapping will be carried out, in the summer of 2014, to define new exploration targets in relatively unexplored areas of the fertile volcanic sequence. A diamond-drilling campaign of about 10,000 metres will target the extension of some historical lenses as well as new geological and geophysical targets.
Prospecting, geological mapping and mechanical stripping will also be conducted on the Lac Ménarik and Ashuanipi projects located in the La Grande and Caniapiscau regions, respectively. True to form, the Company will again this year provide a budget of about $1 million for prospecting and the evaluation of new exploration targets throughout the large territory and to carry out, in the upcoming fall, follow-up work on the best results obtained in the summer.
The Company will also be active in Nunavik, where it will conduct, with its partner Altius Minerals Corporation (“Altius”) prospecting, mapping and till sampling on the Kan property, a vast gold and base-metal project covering a surface of over 30,000 hectares in the Labrador Trough, 85 kilometres to the southwest of Kuujjuaq.
The Company will also perform geological reconnaissance and prospecting for Ni-Cu-EGP mineralization within the vast Grenville geological province.
The Company is very enthusiastic about starting a new exploration season that will aim at discovering new mining camps in the James Bay, Nunavik and Grenville regions.
PARTNERSHIPS
In the recent quarter, Anglo American Exploration (Canada) Ltd., a subsidiary of Anglo American plc., withdrawn from the joint venture agreement of March 7, 2011 on the Baie Payne property. The Company is now the sole owner of the property.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON BETWEEN THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 2014 AND 2013
Expenses
For the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, expenses totalled $1,084,000 compared to $2,696,000 for the same period of the preceding year. Variations are detailed hereafter.
During the current quarter, salaries totalled $298,000, representing a decrease of $18,000 compared to the same period of the preceding year. The variation is mainly explained by the holding of an additional board meeting and the hiring of an administrative employee in the preceding year.
For the three-month periods ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, professional and maintenance fees totalled $103,000 and $146,000, respectively. The decrease results mainly from the reduction in tax consultation services.
General administrative expenses totalled $250,000 during the quarter ended May 31, 2014, representing an increase of $12,000 from the corresponding period of the preceding year. The variation results mainly from an increase in donations ($18,000) partially offset by a decrease in tuition fees ($9,000).
General exploration costs decreased by $47,000 to reach $143,000 during the current quarter. The decrease results mainly from less budget assigned during the quarter to prospecting of new exploration targets on the James Bay territory.
During the current quarter, the Company proceeded with write-offs of mining properties for a total of $230,000 compared to $1,784,000 for the same quarter of last year. In the current quarter, the Company proceeded with a partial write-off on the Wabamisk property ($124,000) and a complete write-off on the Sarcelle property ($105,000). Last year, the Company proceeded with the following partial write-offs: Coulon ($1,150,000), Wabamisk ($400,000) and Sarcelle ($180,000). The partial write-off of the Wabamisk property was done on the relatively unexplored part of the property that is considered to have low discovery potential.
Other Income (Expenses)
For the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, other income totalled $10,000 compared to $496,000 for the same period of the previous year. Variations are detailed hereafter.
During the period ended May 31, 2014, dividends and interest income decreased by $26,000. This change is due mainly to a lower interest rate on the bonds held by the Company.
Fees invoiced to partners during the current quarter totalled $5,000, representing a decrease of $56,000 from the corresponding period of the preceding year. In the current quarter, there was no significant exploration work with partners. In the first quarter of last year, the Company received fees mainly from Iamgold Corporation ($35,000) on the Lac Pau project and from AAEC ($20,000) on the Ashuanipi project.
During the quarter ended May 31, 2014, the Company posted a gain on sale of available-for-sale investments of $62,000 compared to $154,000 for the same period in 2013. These gains result mainly from the sale of shares and bonds.
For the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, the Company posted a loss on investments held for trading of $128,000 compared to a gain of $14,000 for the same period of last year. The variation is mainly due to the fair value revaluation of the warrants held by the Company.
Also, during the quarter, the Company posted a loss on acquisition of available-for-sale investment of $171,000 related to a difference between the acquisition price and subsequent fair value of a non-brokered placement of 1,666,666 common shares of Alto Ventures Ltd.
Deferred Tax Recovery
For the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, the Company recognized a $133,000 deferred tax recovery compared to $797,000 for the same quarter of the preceding year. The difference is explained mainly by a decrease in the favourable tax impact on flow-through shares.
Net Loss
In light of the above, the Company recognized a net loss of $941,000 for the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, compared to $1,403,000 for the same quarter of the preceding year.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING
As at May 31, 2014, cash amounted to $6,678,000 compared to $8,750,000 as at February 28, 2014, while the Company’s working capital totalled $47,687,000, representing an increase of $2,854,000 compared to the working capital recorded as at February 28, 2014. The variation is due mainly to a flow-through private placement completed in March 2014 partially offset by the exploration expenses incurred in the current quarter.
From management’s point of view, the working capital as at May 31, 2014 will cover current expenditures and exploration costs in the coming year. However, the Company may, from time to time, when market and financing conditions are favourable, proceed with fundraising to fund exploration of its most important mining projects.
Operating Activities
For the quarter ended May 31, 2014, cash flows used in operating activities totalled $786,000 compared to $406,000 for the corresponding period of the preceding year. This variation results mainly from the termination, in May 2013, of cash payments in deferred royalties ($305,000).
Financing Activities
Cash flows provided from financing activities for the quarter ended May 31, 2014 amounted to $8,654,000 compared to $5,610,000 for the corresponding period of the preceding year. On March 7, 2014, the Company completed a private placement of 353,334 flow-through common shares at a price of $24.00 per share for gross proceeds of $8,480,000 compared to $6,006,000 last year.
Investing Activities
For the quarter ended May 31, 2014, cash flows used in investing activities totalled $9,940,000 compared to $3,254,000 for the same quarter of the preceding year.
The Company’s investing activities consist mainly of acquisition of mining properties, capitalization of exploration costs as well as buying and selling of short-term investments.
For the current quarter, the variation of short-term investments decreased liquidities by $5,808,000 compared to an increase of $300,000 for the same period of the preceding year. The variation is attributable to a transfer to short-term investments of an amount of cash generated by the private placement completed in March 2014.
For the current quarter, the acquisition of mining properties and the capitalization of exploration costs required disbursements of $4,118,000 compared to $3,520,000 for the same period of the preceding year. The increase results mainly from more important exploration work carried out on the Coulon property

ANALYSIS OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
As the Company’s business is in the mining exploration field, it receives no earnings from operations. Quarterly changes in other income have no specific trend except for interest and dividend income that go along with the working capital value and the change in the bond market interest rates. Gains on sale of investments or mining properties may vary considerably from one quarter unrelated to another. Fees invoiced to partners vary according to agreements and budgets in connection with these agreements. There is no trend to be observed.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There was no material change in the Company’s contractual obligations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There was no related party transactions during the three-month periods ended May 31, 2014 and 2013.
CARRYING VALUE OF MINING PROPERTIES

Adopted in 2015
The following new standard is effective for the first time for interim periods beginning on or after March 1, 2014 and has been applied in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The accounting policy has been applied consistently by the subsidiary of the Company.
IFRIC 21,Levies (“IFRIC 21”)
In May 2013, the IASB issued International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") 21,Levies. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively. IFRIC 21 provides guidance on accounting for levies in accordance with IAS 37,Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The interpretation defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed by a government in accordance with legislation and confirms that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy only when the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs.
The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
There have been no changes in future accounting changes as described in the Company’s 2014 annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis except for the one adopted and described in the preceding section “Changes in Accounting Policies”.
DISCLOSURE OF OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares, without par value. As at July 10, 2014, a total of 33,721,280 shares were outstanding.
The Company maintains a stock option plan under which stock options may be granted up to a maximum of 10% of the number of shares outstanding. As at July 10, 2014, a total of 2,091,500 stock options were outstanding. The expiry dates vary from April 6, 2016 to January 15, 2024.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and its compliance with IFRS in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls over financial reporting to the issuers. They established the internal control over financial reporting or had it established under their supervision in order to obtain reasonable assurance about the reliability of the financial reporting and to make sure that the financial statements were being prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have evaluated whether there were changes to ICFR during the quarter ended May 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect ICFR. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.
However, in May 2013, the COSO released an updated Internal Control – Integrated Framework: 2013. The Company uses the COSO 1992 original framework and will transition to the updated framework during the transition period, which extends to December 15, 2014 after which the 1992 framework will be superseded. Management is currently assessing the impact of this transition and will report any significant changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that may result therefrom.
RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTIES
There have been no significant changes in the risk factors and uncertainties the Company is facing, as described in the Company’s annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis as at February 28, 2014.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis has been prepared as at July 10, 2014, date of the approval by the Board of Directors. Additional information on the Company is available through regular filings of press releases, reports on significant changes, financial statements, circulars and its annual information form on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
