MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
May 20, 2008
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the related notes thereto. Our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. They include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Pan American Gold Corporation (Nevada) and Compania Minera P.A.M. de C.V. All amounts included in the following discussion are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Nature and History of Business
Our company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario on April 24, 1967. On October 2, 1998, our name changed to Tri-Lateral Venture Corporation and, on May 6, 2004, our name was changed to our present legal and commercial name Pan American Gold Corporation (“the Company”). We are a reporting issuer under the securities laws of the Province of Ontario. We are a foreign private issuer with a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Our common shares began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board on April 19, 2004. On May 6, 2004, the issued and unissued shares of common stock were split on the basis of seven (7) common shares for each one (1) common share and our name was changed to Pan American Gold Corporation (“Pan American” or the “Company”) in conjunction with the acquisition of Pan American Gold Corporation (Nevada) (“Pan American Nevada”). The forward split and name change were not affected with the OTC Bulletin Board until June 2, 2004 at which time our trading symbol was changed to “PNAMF”.
We are in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing (when appropriate) resource properties. Our primary property was the Huicicila property in Nayarit State, Mexico which was abandoned during the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company also owns the Lennie property, a gold exploration project located in the Red Lake Mining District in Ontario, Canada.
In 2004, with the acquisition of our Nevada subsidiary, we acquired four properties: Kinsley and Pinnacle located in Nevada, USA, Cactus in California, USA and Eskay Creek in British Columbia, Canada. We conducted some exploratory drilling on the Cactus and Kinsley properties. The exploration results were disappointing and these properties were subsequently abandoned. The Pinnacle property was abandoned when difficulties obtaining necessary permitting did not allow for any on site evaluation prior to a significant property payment. In February of 2006, we entered into a termination agreement whereby we transferred our 75% interest in the Eskay Creek property for the return to treasury of 800,000 of our common shares.
We do not have defined mineral resources or reserves on any of our resource properties. Discovering new mineral deposits is dependent on a number of factors including the experience of exploration personnel involved, the location of the property, and most important, stable funding of exploration programs. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent on a number of factors including country of location, size, grade, and proximity to infrastructure, as well as metal prices.
Overall Performance
Huicicila Property, Nayarit State, Mexico
In May 2006, we commenced evaluation of the Huicicila property in Nayarit State, Mexico. After completing a due diligence review, a letter agreement was signed to acquire a 100% interest in the Huicicila property, subject to a 3% NSR, by completing the following:
Year 1: | Payment of US$20,000 (paid) at the beginning of the option period and a second payment of US$40,000 six months later. Pan American was to complete fieldwork commitments of US$100,000 (paid) on direct exploration of the property. The due date for the second payment was extended until May 12, 2007. |
Year 2: | Payment of US$120,000 on the anniversary date of the option period and fieldwork commitments of US$200,000 to be completed. |
Year 3: | Payment of US$170,000 on the anniversary date of the option period and fieldwork commitments of US$300,000 to be completed. |
Year 4: | Payment of US$750,000 of which, at the discretion of the Company, up to 50% can be payable in shares of the Company. |
In October 2006, we executed a definitive option agreement for the Huicicila property through the Company’s wholly owned Mexican subsidiary Compania Minera P.A.M., S.A. de C.V.
In early 2007, the Company decided to dispose of its interest in Huicicila property based on difficulty in securing financing. This property would have required a significant level of expenditure in the summer of 2007 in order to maintain the Company’s interest and consequently the disposition decision was made.
Private Placements
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed a private placement whereby it issued 1,000,000 units for net proceeds of $51,860. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at US$0.05 until August 24, 2009.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed a private placement whereby it issued 814,140 units for net proceeds of $95,930. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at US$0.20 until March 5, 2009.
Management Changes
On February 15, 2008, Denny Roman resigned from the board of directors. Mr. Roman was replaced by Brent Petterson. Mr. Petterson is a Certified General Accountant with fifteen years experience in financial reporting matters associated with public companies. He is currently on the board of directors of Garibaldi Resources Corp. And is the Chief Financial Officer of Pacific Coast Nickel Corp.
On March 13, 2008, Giovanni Lopez resigned from the board of directors. Mr. Lopez was replaced by John Toljanich. Mr. Toljanich is a retired businessman with extensive experience as a director of public resource and energy companies.
On May 9, 2008, Steve Bajic resigned from the board of directors and from his position President and CEO of the Company. In addition, Martin Bajic resigned his position as CFO of the Company. Steve Bajic was replaced on the board of directors by Roy Brown. Mr. Brown is currently working as a consultant to Zena Capital Corp., a
public company involved in barite mining in British Columbia, Canada. Mr. Brown is also the President of Roymor Market Services Inc., a private company in the business of assisting public companies in identifying sources of capital. John Toljanich replaced Steve Bajic as President and CEO of the Company. Brent Petterson replaced Martin Bajic as CFO of the Company.
General Activities
We have maintained our 100% interest in the Lennie property located Red Lake Mining District of Ontario, Canada and have had discussions with other resource companies over the past year with respect to optioning an interest in the property for an exploration commitment.
We have and continue to review other opportunities in the resource sector with a view to attracting additional financing and increasing shareholder value.
Results of Operations
As at March 31, 2008, we had cash of $25,729. We will require additional financing to provide funds for general and administrative expenses and to carry out additional exploration activities on our properties.
Cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $54,823 compared to $110,279 used in operations in the prior period notably due to decreases in operating expenses as described below.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased to $39,166 from $136,085 in the prior period. The Company’s decreased activity in exploration and general operations caused expenses to decrease in all aspects of its business.
The following is a summary of our financial results for the eight most recently completed quarters:

Investor Relations
The Company terminated its investor relations agreement with 314 Finance Corp. on April 1, 2007. The contract called for payments of US$5,000 per month. The Company did not replace 314 Finance Corp. subsequent to the termination of the contract and currently has no investor relations commitments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at March 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficiency of $156,922. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we received advances for working capital of $76,716 which are included in current liabilities. The advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific terms of repayment.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our near term administrative overhead obligations and additional advances or equity financing will be required. In addition, funds will be required to maintain the Lennie property.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We have adopted amortization policies, which, in the opinion of management, are reflective of the estimated useful lives less abandonment costs, if any, of our assets. We have not currently recorded any amounts in respect of these policies.
In addition, we are capitalizing costs related to the development and furtherance of resource properties. The recovery of those costs will be dependent on our ability to discover and develop economic reserves. Management believes that costs capitalized in respect of these projects are not impaired and no adjustments to carrying values are required at this time.
We use the Black Scholes option valuation model in calculating stock based compensation expense. The model requires that estimates be made of option life and stock price volatility and the ensuing results could vary significantly if changes are made in these assumptions.
Changes in Accounting Policies
There were no changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The Company’s significant accounting policies are outlined in its December 31, 2007 annual audited consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances payable and loan payable. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has established processes, which are in place to provide them sufficient knowledge to support management representations that they have exercised reasonable diligence that (i) the interim financial statements and interim MD&A (“the interim filings”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, for the period covered by the interim filings and that (ii) the interim financial statements together with the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim filings.
In contrast to the certificate required under Multilateral Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (MI 52-109), this Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as defined in MI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing this certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:
i) | controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and |
ii) | a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP. |
The issuer’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in this certificate.
Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in MI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.
