Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
(Unaudited)
1.
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Cream Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 12, 1966 in the Province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, and its principal business activity is the exploration of mineral properties, currently in Mexico and Canada.
The Company’s head office, principal address and registered and records office is 1400 – 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, V6P 3P1.
The Company’s continuing operations and underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interest or other interests.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This assumes the Company will operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the financial statements. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception, has no source of operating cash flow, minimal income from short-term investments, and there can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to explore its mineral properties and to cover general and administrative expenses necessary for the maintenance of a public company. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future depends in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions and mineral property exploration success.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounts Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
The Company’s transition date to IFRS is April 1, 2010. The rules for first-time adoption of IFRS are set out in IFRS 1, “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. In preparing the Company’s first IFRS financial statements, these transition rules have been applied to the amounts previously reported in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“CGAAP”). Historical results and balances have been restated under IFRS. The policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of September 19, 2011. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2012 could result in restatement of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including the adjustments recognized on transition to IFRS.

Significant Accounting Policies(Continued)
(a)
Statement of Compliance(Continued)
As this is the Company’s first year of preparing condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, the Company’s disclosures exceed the minimum requirements under IAS 34. The Company has elected to exceed the minimum requirements in order to present the Company’s accounting policies in accordance with IFRS and the additional disclosures required under IFRS.
In 2013 and beyond, the Company may not provide the same amount of disclosure in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements under IFRS as the reader will be able to rely on the annual consolidated financial statements which will be prepared in accordance with IFRS.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s CGAAP annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011, and in consideration of the disclosure regarding the impact of the transition from CGAAP to IFRS included in Note 16. Certain disclosures that are required to be included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS are not included in these interim financial statements nor in the Company’s most current annual CGAAP financial statements.
(b)
Basis of Measurement and Presentation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except for some financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
(c)
Basis of Consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cream Minerals de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation. The subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
(d)
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the period.
Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. The effect on the financial statements of such changes in estimates in future periods could be material.
The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the recoverability of receivables and foreign value-added taxes, valuation and depreciation of equipment and exploration and evaluation assets and valuation of share-based payments.

Significant Accounting Policies(Continued)
(e) Short-term Investments
Short-term investments comprise of investments in guaranteed investment certificates due to mature within one year from the date of initial acquisition.
(f) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation acquisition costs are capitalized at cost. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed. When shares are issued as consideration for exploration and evaluation asset costs, they are valued at the closing share price on the date of issuance. Payments relating to a property acquired under an option or joint venture agreement, where payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts upon payment. Mineral property exploration and evaluation costs are expensed until the property reaches the development stage. When the technical and commercial viability of a mineral interest has been demonstrated and a development decision has been made, accumulated costs will be tested for impairment and are reclassified to mining assets and are amortized on a unit of production basis over the useful life of the ore body following commencement of commercial production.
If it is determined that exploration and evaluation assets are not recoverable, the property is abandoned, or management has determined an impairment in value, the property is written down to its estimated recoverable amount. Mineral properties are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its estimated recoverable amount.
(g) Financial Instruments and Risk Management
All financial instruments are classified into one of five categories: fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments are measured in the balance sheet at fair value except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities which are measured at amortized cost. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification. Fair value through profit or loss financial assets is measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net income. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the instrument is derecognized or impaired.
The Company has classified cash, short-term investments, and marketable securities as fair value through profit or loss. Due from related parties is classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties are classified as other financial liabilities. Management did not identify any material embedded derivatives, which require separate recognition and measurement.
Disclosures about the inputs to financial instrument fair value measurements are made within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Significant Accounting Policies(Continued)
(g) Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
Financial instruments are exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Market risk is that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of price risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Credit risk and liquidity risk on amounts due to creditors and amounts due from/to related parties were significant to the Company’s balance sheet. The Company manages these risks by actively pursuing additional share capital issuances to settle its obligations in the normal course of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company’s ability to raise share capital is indirectly related to changing metal prices and the price of silver and gold in particular. To mitigate this market risk, management of the Company actively pursues a diversification strategy with property holdings.
(h) Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life. The cost of an item includes the purchase price and directly attributable costs to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Where an item of equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of equipment, ranging from three to five years. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and are adjusted if appropriate.

Significant Accounting Policies(Continued)
(i) Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the identified asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss isrecognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior reporting periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Management estimates of mineral prices, recoverable reserves, and operating, capital and restoration costs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets. Although management has made its best estimate of these factors, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect management’s estimate of the net cash flow to be generated from its projects.
(j) Investments in Associates
The equity method of accounting is used to account for investments where the Company has significant influence. The investment is initially recorded at cost and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the investor’s share of the net profit or loss of the associate.
(k) Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded using the liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Temporary differences are not provided for goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Significant Accounting Policies(Continued)
(k) Income Taxes (Continued)
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against that excess.
(l) Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors indentified in IAS 21,The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
Transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period end exchange rate while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in comprehensive loss.
(m) Share-based Payments
The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees at the fair value determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the options is recognized as an expense using the graded vesting method where the fair value of each tranche is recognized over its respective vesting period. When stock options are forfeited prior to becoming fully vested, any expense previously recorded is reversed.
Share-based payments made to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined that the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured. These payments are recorded at the date the goods and services are received.
Warrants issued are recorded at estimated fair values determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. If and when the stock options or warrants are ultimately exercised, the applicable amounts of their fair values in the reserves account are transferred to share capital.
(n) Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. In periods where a net loss is incurred, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive and basic and diluted loss per common share is the same. In a profit year, under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average price during the year.

Significant Accounting Policies(Continued)
(o) Flow-through Shares
Share capital includes flow-through shares which is a unique Canadian tax incentive pursuant to certain provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act. Proceeds from the issuance of flow-through shares are used to fund qualified Canadian exploration and evaluation projects and the related income tax deductions are renounced to the subscribers of the flow-through shares. The premium paid for flow-through shares in excess of the market value of the shares without flow-through features, at the time of issue, is credited to other liabilities and recognized in income at the time qualifying expenditures are incurred. The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability with a corresponding charge in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss to income when the qualifying exploration and evaluation expenditures are renounced.
Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds receivedbut not yet expended at the end of the Company’s period is disclosed separately as flow-through expenditure commitments.
The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds, renounced under the Look-back Rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.
(p) Decommissioning Liabilities
The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of the rehabilitation activities includes restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of the affected exploration sites.
The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining assets. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.
Additional environmental disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability in the period in which they occur.
(q) New Standards Not Yet Adopted
Certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011 or later. Updates that are not applicable or immaterial to the Company have been excluded.
IFRS 9,Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted, introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Management anticipates that this standard will be adopted in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the period beginning January 1, 2013 and has not yet considered the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 9.

Significant Accounting Policies(Continued)
(q) New Standards Not Yet Adopted (Continued)
In May 2011, the IASB issued the following standards, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted, which have not yet been adopted by the Company. The Company has not yet begun to assess the impact that the new and amended standards will have on its financial statements or whether to early adopt any of the new requirements.
IFRS 10,Consolidated Financial Statements, requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Under existing IFRS, consolidation is required when an entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. IFRS 10 replaces SIC-12,Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities, and parts of IAS 27,Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.
IFRS 11,Joint Arrangements, requires a venture to classify its interest in a joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. Joint ventures will be accounted for using the equity method of accounting whereas for a joint operation the venture will recognize its share of the assets, liabilities revenue and expenses of the joint operation. Under existing IFRS, entities have the choice to proportionally consolidate or equity account for interests in joint ventures. IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 31,Interests in Controlled Entities – Non-monetaryContributions by Venturers.
IFRS 12,Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, establishes disclosure requirements for interests in other entities, such as joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and off balance sheet vehicles. The standard carries forward existing disclosures and also introduces significant additional disclosure requirements that address the nature of, and risks associated with, an entity’s interests in other entities.
IFRS 13,Fair Value Measurement,is a comprehensive standard for fair value measurement and disclosure requirements across all IFRS standards. The new standard clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date. It also establishes disclosures about fair value measurement. Under existing
IFRS, guidance on measuring and disclosing fair value is dispersed among value measurements and in many cases does not reflect a clear measurement basis or consistent disclosures.
(r) Amendments to Other Standards
There have been amendments to existing standards, including IAS 27,Separate Financial Statements, and IAS 28,Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. IAS 27 addresses accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in non-consolidated financial statements. IAS 28 has been amended to include joint ventures in its scope and to address the changes in IFRS 10, 11, 12 and 13. There has been no impact on the Company’s financial statements related to these amendments.

Accounts payable and due to related parties are designated as other financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The fair values of the Company’s amounts receivable and prepaid expenses approximate their carrying values at June 30, 2011, due to their short-term nature.
The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments, measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011 and April 1, 2010 categorized into levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date under its financial instruments is summarized as follows:

| June 30, 2011 | March 31, 2011 | April 1, 2010 |

Financial Instruments and Risk Management(Continued)
Credit risk (Continued)
Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held with major financial institutions in Canada, and management believes the exposure to credit risk with such institutions is not significant. Those financial assets that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are any receivables. The Company considers the risk of material loss to be significantly mitigated due to the financial strength of the major financial institutions where cash and term deposits are held. In the quarter ended June 30, 2011, no material provision has been recorded in respect of impaired receivables. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at June 30, 2011, is the carrying value of its financial assets.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support normal operation requirements as well as the growth and development of its mineral property interests. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 2,698,571 common shares for gross proceeds of $271,856, 2,598,571 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $259,856 and 100,000 stock options were exercised for proceeds of $12,000. Further information regarding liquidity risk is set out in Note 1. The Company’s financial assets are comprised of its cash, short-term investments, marketable securities and accounts receivable and the Company’s financial liabilities are comprised of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties, the contractual maturities of which at June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011 and April 1, 2010 are summarized as follows:
| | | | | |

Interest rate risk
The Company has no significant exposure at June 30, 2011, to interest rate risk through its financial instruments.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada and Mexico and a portion of its expenses are incurred in U.S. dollars and in Mexican pesos. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and these currencies could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management(Continued)
Currency risk (Continued)
The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. At June 30, 2011, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in Mexican pesos and U.S. dollars, but presented in Canadian dollar equivalents.
| | | |
| June 30, 2011 | March 31, 2011 | April 1, 2010 |
U.S. Dollars | | | |
Cash | $ 395,550 | $ 241,461 | $ 37,494 |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (403,451) | (182,425) | (357,361) |
Mexican Pesos | | | |
Cash | 23,798 | 36,742 | 21,288 |
Value-added taxes recoverable | 288,023 | 134,228 | 139,557 |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (1,791) | (5,038) | (228) |
Based on the above net exposures at June 30, 2011, and assuming that all other variables remain constant a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an increase/decrease of $790 (March 31, 2011 - $5,904, April 1, 2010 - $31,682) in the Company’s loss from operations, and a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the Mexican Pesos would result in an increase/decrease of $31,003 (March 31, 2011 – $16,593, April 1, 2010 - $16,061) in the Company’s loss from operations.
Financial assets and financial liabilities that bear interest at fixed rates are subject to fair value interest rate risk. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2011. In respect of financial assets, the Company’s policy is to invest cash at floating rates of interest in cash equivalents, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return. Fluctuations in interest rates impact the amount of return the Company may
Realize but interest rate risk is not significant to the Company. As at June 30, with other variables unchanged, a 1% change in the variable interest rates would have had an insignificant impact on the loss of the Company.
13.
Management of Capital
The Company defines capital that it manages as equity. When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the Company continues as a going concern as well as to achieve optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Board of Directors does not establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management team to sustain the future development of the business.

| June 30, 2011 | March 31, 2011 | April 1, 2010 |
Equity (deficiency) is comprised of: | | | | | |

Deficit | | (35,874,325) | | (33,881,723) | (29,276,477) |
The Company’s capital management approach is revised on an ongoing basis and reflects adjustments in the light of economic conditions affecting metal markets and the mining industry in particular. Given the nature of its activities, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its operations. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, options and warrants, and issue debt. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the quarter. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

First Time Adoption of IFRS
For all periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with CGAAP. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2011 are the first the Company has prepared in accordance with IFRS.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the opening consolidated statement of financial position was prepared as at April 1, 2010, the Company’s date of transition to IFRS. This note explains the principal adjustments made in restating the previous CGAAP consolidated balance sheet as at April 1, 2010 and its previously published CGAAP consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and as at March 31, 2011.
Exemptions applied:
The guidance for the first time adoption of IFRS is set out in IFRS 1,First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. IFRS 1 provides for certain mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions for first time adopters of IFRS. The Company has applied the following exemptions to its opening statement of financial position dated April 1, 2010:
a) Business Combinations
IFRS 1 indicates that a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3,Business Combinations, retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has taken advantage of this election and will apply IFRS 3 to business combinations that occur on or after April 1, 2010. There is no adjustment required to the April 1, 2010 statement of financial position on the transition date.
b) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
In accordance with IFRS 1, if a company elects to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively, IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, must also be applied retrospectively . As the Company elected to apply IFRS 3 prospectively, the Company has also elected to apply IAS 27 prospectively.
c) Share-based Payments
IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, first-time adopters to apply IFRS 2, Share-based Payments,to equity instruments that were granted on or before November 7, 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to November 7, 2002 and vested before the later of the date of transition to IFRS and January 1, 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to awards that vested prior to April 1, 2010.
d) Equipment
IFRS 1 provides a choice between measuring equipment at its fair value at the date of transition and using those amounts as the deemed cost or using the historical cost valuation under CGAAP. The Company has chosen to continue to apply the cost model and has not restated equipment under IFRS.

First Time Adoption of IFRS(Continued)
e) Decommissioning Liabilities
The Company has elected to apply the exemption from full retrospective application of decommissioning provisions as allowed under IFRS 1. As a result, the Company has re-measured the provisions at April 1, 2010 under IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and determined that there is no adjustment required to the April 1, 2010statement of financial position on the transition date.
f) Financial Instruments
The Company has elected to designate its cash, and short-term investments as fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition in accordance with an investment strategy that management uses to evaluate performance on a fair value basis. This designation had no impact on the results and financial position of the Company as these financial assets were classified as held-for-trading under CGAAP and were recorded at fair value.
The Company has also elected to re-designate its marketable securities from available-for-sale to fair value through profit or loss. This has resulted in reclassifications on the statements of financial position and statements of operations and comprehensive loss at the transition date and prior reporting periods shown and explained in the reconciliations below.
Additionally, in accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under previous CGAAP, unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates as of April 1, 2010 are consistent with its CGAAP estimates for the same date.
Reconciliations:
The reconciliations between the previously reported financial results under CGAAP and the current reported financial results under IFRS are provided as follows:
(i)
reconciliation of the consolidated statement of financial position as at April 1, 2010;
(ii)
reconciliation of the consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2010;
(iii)
reconciliation of the consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2011;
(iv)
reconciliation of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010; and
(v) reconciliation of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2011.
No reconciliation is required for the consolidated statement of cash flows as there are no significant differences.

FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IFRS (Continued)
a)
Flow-through Shares
Under IFRS, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of the tax deduction renounced to the shareholders and the premium liability is reversed. The reversal of the premium liability and the deferred tax liability are recognized as tax recoveries to the extent that suitable deferred tax assets are available. Under CGAAP, the Company recorded the tax cost of expenditures renounced to subscribers on the date the deductions were renounced to the subscribers. Share capital was reduced and future income tax liabilities were increased by the tax cost of expenditures renounced to the subscribers, except that the amount was recognized as a tax recovery to the extent that suitable future tax assets were available.
As a result of this change in policy, for issuances of flow-through shares for which expenditures have been incurred, share capital and deficit were increased by $86,839 at the date of transition, three months ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended March 31, 2011. Where flow-through shares were issued at a premium and expenditures were incurred, $30,324 was reclassified from share capital to deficit on the date of transition, three months ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended March 31, 2011.
b)
Marketable Securities
On transition to IFRS, the Company elected to re-designate its marketable securities from available-for-sale to fair value through profit or loss as it was determined that they would be sold in the short term. As a result of this change, in accordance with IAS 39, changes in the fair value of marketable securities are recorded through the statement of operations. These changes were previously recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
As a result of this re-designation, unrealized losses of $467 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and unrealized gains of $3,571 for the year ended March 31, 2011 on investments were reclassified to unrealized losses on marketable securities on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $27,093 (June 30, 2010 - $27,560; March 31, 2011 - $23,522) was reclassified to deficit on the date of transition.
