General information and continuing operations

The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral rights contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. In addition, the Company is dependent upon external sources of financing in order to fund the exploration of its mineral rights. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral rights and the ability of the Company to meet its obligations is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral rights and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

Significant accounting policies

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada applicable to a going-concern. The financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business.

Mineral rights

Costs of acquisition and exploration expenditures are allocated to specific groups of mineral rights as work is performed on or for the benefit of those rights and are capitalized until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral rights are either developed, sold, or abandoned. If there is an indication of impairment the mineral rights are written-down to the estimated net recoverable amount. The Company does not accrue the estimated future cost of maintaining, in good standing, its mineral rights.

Capitalized costs are amortized over the useful life of the rights upon commencement of commercial production, or written-off if the rights are sold or abandoned.

Administrative costs

Administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

Property, building and equipment

Property, building and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided on the declining balance basis at the following annual rates:

Automotive equipment

30%

Building

Computer equipment

45%

Computer software

100%

Office equipment

20%

Portable buildings

30%

Stock option plan

The Company records compensation expense when stock or stock options are issued to employees in accordance with any vesting terms.

Significant accounting policies - continued

Future income taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities and for unused tax losses. Future income tax assets are recorded in the financial statements if their realization is considered to be more likely than not.

Exploration tax credits

Exploration tax credits are recorded as a reduction in exploration costs as those costs are incurred.

Flow-through financing

Under the CanadianIncome Tax Act a company may issue securities referred to as flow-through shares, whereby the investor may claim the tax deductions arising from the qualifying expenditure of the proceeds by the company. When resource expenditures are renounced to the investors and the Company has reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be completed, future income tax liabilities are recognized (renounced expenditures multiplied by the effective corporate tax rate), thereby reducing share capital. Previously unrecognized tax assets may then offset or eliminate the liability recorded.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Specific areas involving management estimates include the variables used to derive stock-based compensation, the valuation of mineral rights and the determination of useful lives of property, building and equipment for purposes of calculating amortization.

Loss per share

Loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. Diluted loss per share has not been calculated as it is anti-dilutive when the numerator used in the calculation is a net loss. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, share consolidations are considered to have occurred on the first day of the earliest fiscal year presented.

Financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and short-term investments, goods and services tax recoverable, accounts payable, and mortgage payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of temporary investments in commercial paper and money market deposits that are highly liquid and readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

Mineral rights

The Getty mineral rights are contiguous and are located within the Highland Valley, British Columbia mining district covering an area of approximately 200 square kilometres. Property, building and equipment amortization included in exploration costs during the nine months ending September 30, 2006 amounted to $5,048(2005 - $5,823).

Mineral rights - continued

The Company originally entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the Getty Central, Getty South and Getty Southwest mineral rights from Robak Industries Ltd. (“Robak”), a private company controlled by the Company’s president, under certain terms which were not met. On November 8, 2002 the Company and Robak terminated the original agreement and entered into an agreement for the Company to acquire a 100% interest in the Getty Central and Getty Southwest and a 50% interest in the Getty South mineral rights from Robak in exchange for 6,000,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed value of $1,200,000, the Company agreeing to pay 100% of the costs to place the Getty South mineral rights into production, and a 1-1/2% net smelter royalty in favour of Robak.

In 2004, the Board of Directors considered acquiring the remaining 50% of Getty South from Robak. The board commissioned a valuation of the Robak interest from the same party that carried out the 2002 valuation. The valuator presented information about his 2002 report that caused the board to re-examine the 2002 transaction. An independent committee comprised of all directors except the Company’s president has initiated a thorough review of the historical geological data for the Getty South Property. To date the board has received nothing that would suggest that the Getty South acquisition should be rescinded.

The Company is pursuing approaches to further develop its mineral rights. Although it is uncertain whether the Company will determine that it has economically recoverable reserves and whether it will be able to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral rights, the Company believes that it may be able to economically develop the mineral rights. However, Canadian generally accepted accounting principles require that exploration costs related to mineral rights be written-down for impairment unless there is persuasive evidence that impairment has not occurred. Accordingly, at December 31, 2003 the Company had recorded provisions for impairment of exploration costs in the amount of $9,500,933 and of rights acquisition costs of $13,910. With the flow though financing obtained in December 2003, funds were available to proceed with the exploration work o n the Getty North rights. Such costs will be deferred from January 2004 until such time as the Company determines if it has economically recoverable reserves, or until exploration ceases and the mineral rights are abandoned.

The Getty mineral rights are subject to a 1-1/2% net smelter return royalty in favour of Robak.

On July 7, 2006, the Company issued 10,000,000 units at $0.11 for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share half-warrant, entitling the holder of each whole share purchase warrant to purchase an additional one common share of the Company for a period of 6 months (expiry date - January 7, 2007) at a price of $0.15. No finder’s fees or commissions were paid. Proceeds from the private placement will be used to fund the Company’s exploration and development programs, to pay ongoing expenses and for general working capital. All securities issued pursuant to this private placement will be subject to a four month hold period until November 7, 2006.

On January 16, 2006, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares at $0.10 per share through a private placement, raising $500,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and a one half common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 during the period July 16, 2006 to January 16, 2007.

On April 15, 2005, the Company issued 1,900,000 incentive stock options exercisable at $0.20 during the period from April 15, 2006 to April 14, 2007 and $0.25 during the period from April 15, 2007 to April 14, 2008.

The Company reset the exercise price and reduced the term of 850,000 outstanding incentive stock options to $0.20 during the period from April 15, 2006 to April 14, 2007 and $0.25 during the period from April 15, 2007 to April 14, 2008. Regulatory approval was received May 9, 2005. Disinterested shareholder approval was received at the Company’s annual general meeting which was held on June 27, 2005.

On May 12, 2005, the company completed a private placement of 1,335,000 units. Each unit consisted of 1 share valued at $0.15 and a full warrant to purchase a further share of common stock at $0.25 during the period May 13, 2006 to May 12, 2007..

On December 7, 2004, the company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. Each unit consisted of one share valued at $0.25 and a full warrant to purchase a further share of common stock at $0.35 during the period December 8, 2005 to December 7, 2006.

Contributed Surplus in the amount of $Nil (2005 - $5,691) was recorded as a result of the Company recognizing stock option compensation expense.

The Company recorded $Nil (2005-$127,137) in share issue costs as the tax benefit given up due to the recognition of previously unrecorded tax assets to offset the future tax liability recorded on the issuance of flow-through shares.

The options issued are exercisable at a price of $0.20 per share until April 14, 2007. From April 15, 2007 to and including April 14, 2008, these options are exercisable at a price of $0.25 per share. During the nine months ending September 30, 2006, no stock options were exercised or granted.

During 2003, the Company granted 1,950,000 common share incentive options to directors and employees exercisable at $0.61 per share to November 14, 2008. The options vested over the 18 month period following the date of grant. Based upon the Black-Scholes option valuation model, a risk-free market rate of 3% and a volatility of 7%, the estimated compensation cost related to the options granted is approximately $100,000 of which $Nil (2005 – $5,691) was recognized during the period.

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock and expected life of the option. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore it is management’s view that the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option grants and warrant issuances.

Commitments and contingencies

The Company is committed to make aggregate monthly payments of $18,000 (2005 - $13,000) to related parties for management fees, rent and legal fees.

In the first quarter of 2005, former directors Robert Gardner and Vittorio Preto filed a Third Party action against the Company claiming an indemnity in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by them in defence of a lawsuit brought November 24, 2004 against them by Robak. The Company filed a Defence to the claim and Counterclaim alleging that Gardner and Preto are not entitled to indemnification, asserting that these former directors did not act with a view to the best interests of the Company and otherwise did not discharge the fiduciary and other duties they owed to the Company as directors. The Company considers the outcome of this claim and the Company’s Counterclaim is presently undeterminable and the financial statements reflect no provisions in respect to it.

The Company may be faced with significant legal fees in the future as a result of events related to the review of the 2002 Mineral Property Interest Sales Agreement and the various lawsuits to which it is a party.

The Company initiated a lawsuit on November 10, 2005 in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against former directors Robert Gardner and Vittorio Preto for the recovery of $120,000 USD which the Company claims was inappropriately, without board approval, and contrary to the Company’s banking resolution removed from the Company’s bank account during 2004. The amount claimed is currently reflected as Development fees in the Company’s December 31, 2004 financial statements, and no provision for its future recovery has been recorded.

On April 25, 2006 the Company initiated a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the law firm of Blake Cassels & Graydon LLP. The lawsuit claims inter alia, damages for breach of duty owed to the Company. The outcome of this claim is presently undeterminable and the financial statements reflect no provisions in respect to it.

On July 7, 2006, the Company was named in a lawsuit initiated in the Supreme Court of BC by a number of plaintiffs including Robert Gardner and Gordon Blankstein. The action alleges, inter alia, that the business or affairs of the Company is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or has unfairly disregarded the interests of the plaintiffs and those similarly situated. The Company has instructed counsel to vigorously defend the action.

Forward Looking Statements

Except for historical information, this Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) may contain forward-looking statements. These statements involve known risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement expressed or implied by these forward looking statements.

Overall Performance

The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of natural resource properties. Since 1993, the Company has been conducting exploration for copper on its approximately 200 km2, Highland Valley, British Columbia mineral property, which adjoins the large porphyry copper mining and milling operation of Highland Valley Copper.

The company has been exploring the Getty North and Getty South deposits. The Getty North and Getty South deposits have been the subject of historical mineral resource estimates that do not meet the requirements of the CIM classifications referenced in National Instrument 43-101.

Bateman Engineering, Inc. prepared a project assessment report in May, 1998 for the Company on the Getty North deposit (using information supplied by KHA Resource Modeling, Inc. in December, 1997) which estimated an oxide drill indicated and inferred resource of 10 million tonnes with an estimated grade of 0.408% copper and a sulphide drill indicated and inferred resource of 58.2 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.293% copper for a total drill indicated and inferred resource of 68.2 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.310% copper.

Earlier estimates prepared by Watts Griffis and McOuat gave calculations of 5.5 million tonnes of indicated resources of 0.43% copper in the oxide zone and 400,000 tonnes of inferred resources grading 0.42% copper in the oxide zone using a cut-off grade of 0.25% copper. Watts Griffis and McOuat also calculated the sulphide zone as having an indicated resource of 22.2 million tonnes having a grade of 0.43% copper and 5.3 million tonnes of inferred resources grading 0.42% copper using a cut-off grade for the sulphide zone of 0.30% copper.

Although the Company believes these resource estimates on the Getty North deposit are relevant, it is cautioned that the resource estimates are historical in nature and do not comply with the CIM classifications referred to in National Instrument 43-101 and should not be relied upon. These estimates have not been verified by a Qualified Person.

The Company further understands that these resource estimates were developed after a review of all geological information available at the respective times that they were delivered to the Company.

The Getty South deposit was the subject of a pre NI 43-101 resource estimate (Gower Thompson & Associates-1992) of 36 million tonnes of an inferred resource grading 0.47% copper. Subsequently, in 1996, Watts, Griffis & McOuat advised that the Gower resource estimate was reasonable. Although this resource estimate is considered relevant, it is cautioned that the resource estimate is historical in nature and does not comply with the CIM classifications referred to in National Instrument 43-101 and should not be relied upon. This estimate has not been verified by a Qualified Person.

The Company commissioned a consulting geologist in 2005 to conduct an extensive review of the Getty South historical technical information and to catalogue and digitize this information.

As a result of a disclosure review undertaken by the BC Securities Commission in early 2006, the Company has retracted all past references to mineral reserves and because the Company does not have a current technical report in compliance with National Instrument 43-101, it has retracted any reference to a current mineral resource. The Company is in the process of commissioning a National Instrument 43-101 compliant report to determine resource estimates for its Getty North and Getty South deposits in accordance with CIM classifications.

The Company’s other identified potential mineral zones, “Northwest”, “Southwest”, and “Central” are all in the early stage of exploration and there is insufficient data to establish whether any resources may exist. The Company continues to seek additional properties worthy of exploration and development.

Ongoing reviews of previous geological, geophysical and geochemical programs are being conducted to determine future work programs. In 2005, the Company commissioned a metallurgical testing program of the potential Getty North and Getty South sulphide and oxide copper mineralized zones by SGS Lakefield Research Limited of Lakefield Ontario. In addition, Innovat Limited initiated a pilot-plant testing program of the Getty samples at the Lakefield facility of its proprietary Continuous Vat Leaching process. Phase 1 of the program was used to characterize copper oxide mineralization from the Getty North Deposit and to develop the best chemistry for leaching. Limited testing of sulfide samples was also conducted, but the overall focus was on oxide mineralization. Bottle roll tests established leach kinetics and reagent consumptions, followed by jig-column tests that simulate continuous vat leaching conditions.

Getty North mineralization was analyzed at 0.84% copper (0.55% oxide copper, 65% of the total copper). Copper mineralization in both Phases 1 and 2 programs was crushed to minus 6.3 mm. Phase 1 tests gave 80% recovery at a pH of 1 with a residue of 0.16% copper in 72 hours, while treatment at pH 2 gave recoveries of 75% with a residue grading 0.18% copper, also over 72 hours. The higher pH value is more suitable for SX/EW recovery. Net acid consumptions were 9.6 and 6.7 kg/t respectively. The Phase 2 pilot plant run took place over 10.5 days, comprised of an initial 3-day batch test to bring solution tenor up to levels needed for SX/EW operation, followed by a 5 day continuous run of the vat and then 2.5 days operation of the SX/EW unit, using stored PLS solution. Live capacity of the vat was calculated at 14.7 tons by SGS Lakefield. A grab sample at 48 hours graded 0.18% copper, confirming that the pu lsing vat was matching expectations developed in the jig-column tests.

Copper was recovered during the pilot plant campaign using a conventional SX/EW circuit. Recovery of copper to a concentrated solution was 98%. Current efficiency in electrowinning was 92.5%. Cathodes analyzed at 99.97% copper with the impurities being sulfur, silver, lead, and iron. It is anticipated that copper purity can be improved with some fine-tuning of the SX/EW circuit.

Following the leach campaign, some modifications were made to the drum discharger to try to improve the flow through, using leach residue and fresh mineralization feed for testing on water (not leach solution). A 24-hour test was not successful in improving flow through. It was identified during the test that the baffles between the vat leach section and the wash section, combined with poor fluidization in the wash section was restricting flow to the discharge drum. Also, additional work needs to be done on coordinating the fluidization with the pickup points on the drum.

Achievements of the Phases 1 and 2 programs are summarized as follows:

Bench scale testing results can be achieved in a pilot plant operation

Continuous flow through of mineralization while leaching in a vat is validated

Bench and pilot scale leach results indicate that the recoveries can be replicated on Getty North mineralization in the 75% range over 72 hours.

Acid consumption is relatively low, in the 7 – 17 kg/t range

Decanting of minus 6.3 mm ore results using a decanting drum provides a low moisture content, averaging 9.2 % moisture by weight

Paste consistency can be produced by the thickener; a 46% solids paste was produced on 80% - 42 micron material

Cathode grading 99.97% copper can be made using conventional SX/EW

Running of the pilot plant at SGS Lakefield Research is a major achievement, representing the premiere of continuous vat leaching of copper.

The Company has a licence agreement with Innovat for the ongoing non-exclusive right to commercialize the Innovat proprietary technology. The Company has reached an agreement in principle to convert its non-exclusive technology license with Innovat Limited into a joint venture controlling the exclusive use of the Innovat continuous vat leaching (“CVL”) technology. Subject to conclusion of the negotiations and due diligence review and regulatory approval, the joint venture will be owned equally by Innovat Limited and the Company and the Company will have the right to nominate the majority of the joint venture entity’s board of directors. The resultant joint venture entity would be responsible for arranging the necessary project financing to commercially exploit the technology.

The price of copper significantly improved in 2005 as a result of increasing worldwide consumption and decreasing world copper inventory. Recent widely read business journals predict that metal prices in 2006 should continue at current levels due to supply and demand dynamics but there can be no assurance that the current prices will be sustained over the timeframe that would be required to place any mineral deposit that may be located on the Property into commercial production. The Company continues its efforts to move the properties into the development stage to take advantage of the current strong demand for copper.

The Company is involved in a series of lawsuits arising out of its acquisition of its 50% interest in Getty South. Significant legal expenses will result in higher general and administrative expenses during 2006 and will increase the loss to be reported for that fiscal period.

Result of Operations

Due to reduced commodity prices and a lack of working capital, nominal exploration work was carried out by the Company between 1998 and 2003. Consequently at the years ended December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2003 the financial statements were adjusted to reflect a provision for impairment of mineral properties. Between January 1, 2004, and September 30, 2006 the Company has raised $3,065,251 by way of private placement financing

The Company’s working capital increased to $72,207 for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 from ($320,311) at December 31, 2005, the increase of $392,518 in working capital can be attributed to two private placements completed during the year, whereby the company issued 15 million units for cash, 10,000,000 at $0.11 and 5 million units at $0.10., resulting in gross proceeds of $1,600,001. Each unit is comprised of one common share and a half warrant, entitling the holder of each whole warrant to purchase an additional share. (See financial activities below).

The Company’s total assets increased during the nine months ending September 30 2006 to from December 31, 2005 by $923,735 due to $ 1,600,001 in funds raised in gross proceeds from shares issued for cash from two private placements completed during the period. The Company’s liabilities increased by $135,877. Exploration expenditures on the property are deferred, thus increasing the balance sheet value of the mineral rights. The Company has no significant source of working capital other than funds raised through private placement and exercising of warrants.

The loss from operations for the Nine months ending September 30, 2006 increased by $589,052 over the loss reported at September 30, 2005. General and administrative expenditures for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 increased to $795,192 compared to $204,629 at September 30, 2005. The comparative increase in administrative expenses between the nine months ending September 2006 and 2005 can be attributed to an increase in professional fees by $392,066 in 2006 and a $187,182 future income tax recovery recognized in the nine months ending September 30, 2005. The predominant administration expense being the legal costs associated with the lawsuits outlined under additional disclosure. The Company has no source of income other than interest earned on funds held in a term deposits and rent received for a portion of the Logan Lake office.

Professional fees for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 $675,713 (2005 - $283,647) which include $665,675 (2005- $266,344) for legal and court fees, $9,238 (2005 - $12,752) in accounting fees and $800 (2005- $4,550) consulting fees. The other administration expenses, ie office, telephone, rent, etc are comparable to the previous years third quarter September 30, 2005. Also during the nine months ending September 30, 2006, $Nil (2005 - $187,182) was recorded to reflect the tax benefit given up due to the recognition of previously unrecorded tax assets to offset the future tax liability recorded on the issuance of flow- through shares. The income statement reflects this recovery and the benefit is charged to cost of shares issued.

Liquidity of Capital Resources

The Company has no mineral producing properties at this time and receives no revenues from production. All of the Company’s properties are exploration projects, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable ore deposit exists in any such properties until further exploration work and a comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, tonnage, recoveries, and other factors conclude economic feasibility.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had granted 3,050,000 stock incentive options, thus; 295,231 common shares remain reserved for issuance under the Company's share option plan. As of October 31, 2006, 3,150,000 stock incentive options have been granted, thus 195,231 common shares remain reserved for issuance under the Company’s share option plan. As of October 31, 2006 no options have been exercised. The options issued are exercisable at a price of $0.20 per share unit April 14, 2007. From April 15, 2007 to and including April 14, 2008, these options are exercisable at a price of $0.25 per share.

Financing Activities

On December 7, 2004, the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. No finder’s fees or commissions were paid. Each unit consisted of 1 share valued at $0.25 and a full warrant to purchase a further share of common stock for a period of 2 years at a price of $0.30 in the first year and $0.35 in the second year.

On May 12, 2005 the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $200,250. Each unit consisted of 1 share valued at $0.15 and a full warrant to purchase a further share of common stock for a period of two years at a price of $0.20 in the first year and $0.25 in the second year. No finder’s fees or commissions were paid. Proceeds from the private placement will be used to fund the Company’s exploration programs, to pay ongoing expenses and for general working capital. All securities issued pursuant to this private placement were subject to a four-month hold period.

On January 16, 2006 the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit, sold at a price of $0.10, is comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase half-warrant, entitling the holder to purchase an additional half common share of the Company for a period of one year at a price of $0.125 in the first six months and $0.15 in the second six months. No finder’s fees or commissions were paid.

On July 7, 2006, the Company completed a private placement and issued 10,000,000 units at $0.11 for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share half-warrant, entitling the holder of each whole share purchase warrant to purchase an additional one common share of the Company for a period of 6 months (expiry date - January 7, 2007) at a price of $0.15. No finder’s fees or commissions were paid. Proceeds from the private placement will be used to fund the Company’s exploration and development programs, to pay ongoing expenses and for general working capital. All securities issued pursuant to this private placement will be subject to a four month hold period until November 7, 2006. The number of outstanding shares after this private placement are 49,078,657.

There will be a further requirement for working capital funds and there is no assurance that funds can be readily obtained. However, the Company believes such funding is obtainable through private placements and shares for debt settlements. If all share purchase warrants and incentive stock options were exercised the number of shares outstanding would be be 62,063, 657.

Outlook

The Company continues its efforts to further develop its mineral properties. Although it is uncertain whether the Company will determine that it has economically recoverable reserves and whether it will be able to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral properties, the Company believes that it may be able to economically develop the mineral properties. However, Canadian generally accepted accounting principles require that development costs related to mineral properties be written down for impairment unless there is persuasive evidence that impairment has not occurred. During the year ending December 31, 2005 funding was available to continue the exploration of the mineral properties, so future exploration development costs will not be written off until such time as the Company determines if it has economical recoverable resources or until exploration and development ceases and/or the mineral claims are abandoned.

During the nine months ending September 30, 2006, the Company performed its own investor relations including dissemination of press releases to the media, interested shareholders, investors andbrokers.

The Company advises that the litigation that it is presently involved may impact on the levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company for at least the balance of the current fiscal period. After receiving legal advice, management remains confident in the outcome of litigation process, however, the actual outcome of the litigation is presently undeterminable. The Company’s management remains committed to the development of the Company’s Highland Valley mineral claims, subject to a positive feasibility study, production permitting and financing.

Related Party Transactions

During the nine months ending September 30, 2006, a professional accounting firm to which a director is associated billed the Company $9,238 (2005- $15,643) in accounting fees related to tax filings, quarterly report review and other professional accounting related matters, The Company reimbursed the professional accounting firm $10,700 (2005– $Nil) for the director’s time and disbursements for representing the Company in examinations of discovery carried out during the nine months ending September 30, 2006. The President and director of the Company billed the company $800 (2005- $2,800) for consulting fees. John Parks, Solicitor, Corporate Secretary and director of the Company billed the Company $120,000 (2005- $121,000) for legal fees, as general counsel. For the nine months ending September 30, 2006, the Company also paid $4,500 office rent and $22,500 management fees to compa nies controlled by the Managing Director.

During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2006, , two directors of the Company purchased 3,704,545 common shares of the Company as part of a non-broker private placement resulting in proceeds to the Company of $395,000.

Outstanding share data

As of October 31, 2006, there were 49,078,657 common shares outstanding.

Additional Disclosure

In 1996 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the Getty Central, Getty South and Getty Southwest mineral claims from Robak Industries Ltd. (beneficially owned by a director John Lepinski) in exchange for $85,900 cash, a commitment to spend an aggregate of $6,950,000 on exploration and development of the claims by December 31, 2002, an agreement to complete a feasibility report on the Getty South mineral claims by December 31, 2002; and a 1-1/2% net smelter royalty in favour of Robak. The terms of the acquisition could not be met by November 8, 2002 the Company and Robak terminated the original agreement and entered into an agreement for the Company to acquire a 100% interest in the Getty Central and Getty Southwest and a 50% interest in the Getty South mineral claims from Robak in exchange for 6,000,000 post consolidation common shares of the Company at a deemed value of $1,200,000, an agreement b y the Company to carry 100% of the costs to place the Getty South mineral claims into production, and a 1-1/2% net smelter royalty in favour of Robak. The cost incurred by the Company in bringing the property into production is to be repaid from 80% of the net production revenue. In 2004, the Company approached Robak with a view to acquire the other 50% of the Getty South claims. In the process of obtaining a valuation of the claims, an issue arouse as to the nature and interpretation of the carried interest clause referred to in the 2002 agreement. Robak has advised the Company that it agrees with the interpretation assumed by the Company and has agreed to a clarifying amendment to the 2002 agreement.

On January 10, 2005 former director, Robert Gardner, filed a Third Party action against the Company claiming indemnification from any costs and/or damages arising from a lawsuit brought November 24, 2004 against Gardner, Vittorio Preto and others. Former director Preto filed a similar suit claiming indemnification on May 27, 2005. The Company filed a defence to the claims refuting Mssrs. Gardner and Preto’s claim for indemnification as the Company does not believe they are entitled to it under corporate law, asserting that both Gardner and Preto did not act in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and otherwise did not discharge the fiduciary and other duties they owed to the Company as directors. Subsequently, the Company filed a Counter Claim against former directors Robert Gardner and Vittorio Preto as well as Ross Glanville and Ross Granville & Associates claiming damages for negligence and breach of fiduciary duties owed to the Company.

The Company also appreciates that other potential indemnification claims may arise from ongoing litigation.

On January 24, 2005 Vanguard Shareholder Solutions Inc. initiated a lawsuit against the Company claiming $23,041.27 for Investor Services allegedly performed between June 22 and September 30, 2004. After the Company advised counsel for Vanguard that the alleged services were never authorized by the Company’s board of directors nor by the TSX Venture Exchange, Vanguard discontinued the lawsuit on March 1, 2005.

On January 30, 2006, the Company released the results of phase 1 of their metallurgy test program being carried out at SGS Lakefield.

On April 25, 2006, the Company initiated a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the law firm of Blake Cassels & Graydon LLP. The lawsuit claims inter alia, damages for breach of duty

owed to the Company.

On April 26, 2006, the Company released preliminary results of Phase 2 of their metallurgy test program at SGS Lakefield.

2005 Exploration Expenditures

In 2005, the Company completed $749,562 of exploration and metallurgy in the Getty North area. A 980 metric tonne bulk sample of oxidized material was removed from the Getty North deposit and stockpiled near the Getty South deposit. A 10-hole diamond drill program tested areas southeast of the Getty North deposit with only locally anomalous copper results being obtained. A combined line cutting, induced polarization, multi-element geochemical soil and drilling program was carried out on the Getty North Extension target immediately northeast of the Getty North deposit. The surveys produced weak copper, lead, gold, and molybdenum anomalies and weak to moderate IP anomalies that when drilled returned locally weakly anomalous copper in altered and sheared intrusive rocks. copper oxide samples at SGS Lakefield Research Limited in Lakefield, Ontario. The goal of the test program is to determi ne the leach parameters and optimum chemistry for leaching copper from Company’s mineral samples which have been forwarded to Lakefield. Additionally the Company has contracted with Innovat Limited of Ontario to test the viability of using Innovat’s proprietary continuous vat leaching system to extract copper from the samples provided to Lakefield.

Planned exploration for 2006

Dependant upon the results of the metallurgy testing program being carried out at SGS Lakefield, the Company may commission a preliminary feasibility study to investigate the viability of proceeding to the production phase.

GETTY COPPER INC

Getty Copper is pleased to announce the successful completion of Phase 2 Testing of Continuous Vat Leaching in the pilot plant at SGS Lakefield Research in Lakefield, Ontario. This test run was made to validate the concept of Continuous Vat Leaching, identify any deficiencies in the pilot plant, then set up for a final run tentatively scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year. This Phase 3 program will provide the design parameters for a full-scale plant, which along with the planned NI 43-101 Report on the Getty program isintended to advance the Getty Highland Valley area properties towards determination of potential production.

Vat leaching has been around since the late 1800’s and is successfully used today on copper ores that are too high in grade for heap leaching and too low in grade to economically leach in agitated tanks. As well, many heap leach operations suffer from high ore inventories and difficulties in chemistry control. Modern vat leaching systems employ upward percolating solutions with slimes removal in clarifiers from which solutions are circulated to solvent extraction/electrowinning. Operating costs of conventional vat leaches are high, however, due to the limitations of treating on a batch basis, requiring complex integrated cycles of loading, draining, washing, and discharge as well as high maintenance costs from damage caused by clamshell excavators or other discharge systems.

Continuous Vat Leaching, under development by INNOVAT Limited of Burlington, Ontario, is designed to take vat leaching to a flow-through concept, thus eliminating the high cost of batch systems. Fundamentally, the system advances ore through a vat by intermittently fluidizing the bed of ore in the vat to a quicksand condition, thus allowing the ore to flow from one end of the vat and out the other. The high flow rates used in fluidization provide leach kinetics that approach agitated tank leaching, but which can be achieved with crushed or ground ore.

Phase 1 of the program was used to characterize copper oxide mineralization from the Getty North Deposit and to develop the best chemistry for leaching. Limited testing of sulfide samples was also conducted, but the overall focus was on oxide mineralization. Bottle roll tests established leach kinetics and reagent consumptions, followed by jig-column tests that simulate continuous vat leaching conditions.

Getty North mineralization was analyzed at 0.84% copper (0.55% oxide copper, 65% of the total copper). Copper mineralization in both Phases 1 and 2 programs was crushed to minus 6.3 mm. Phase 1 tests gave 80% recovery at a pH of 1 with a residue of 0.16% copper in 72 hours, while treatment at pH 2 gave recoveries of 75% with a residue grading 0.18% copper, also over 72 hours. The higher pH value is more suitable for SX/EW recovery. Net acid consumptions were 9.6 and 6.7 kg/t respectively. The Phase 2 pilot plant run took place over 10.5 days, comprised of an initial 3-day batch test to bring solution tenor up to levels needed for SX/EW operation, followed by a 5 day continuous run of the vat and then 2.5 days operation of the SX/EW unit, using stored PLS solution. Live capacity of the vat was calculated at 14.7 tons by SGS Lakefield. A grab sample at 48 hours graded 0.18% copper, confirming that the pulsin g vat was matching expectations developed in the jig-column tests.

It became apparent after the first overnight shift of continuous flow testing that the drum discharger could not keep up with the target feed rate of 200 kg/hr, but could only achieve less than half of that amount. It was decided to continue the test to conclusion. Average residue assay was 0.17% copper, representing 75% extraction with a net acid consumption of 17 kg/t. The higher acid consumption is likely due to the resultant longer residence time of mineralization in the vat.
