GLOSSARY

Following is a glossary of terms used throughout this Registration Statement.


artisanal mining		mining at small-scale mines (and to a lesser extent quarries) that are labour intensive, with mechanization being at a low level and basic. Artisanal mining can encompass all small, medium, large, informal, legal and illegal miners who use rudimentary processes to extract valuable rocks and minerals from ore bodies.


bitumen		known as asphalt or tar, bitumen is the brown or black viscous residue from the vacuum distillation of crude petroleum


breccia		a rock in which angular fragments are surrounded by a mass of finer-grained material.


C-horizon soil		the soil parent material, either created in situ or transported into its present location. Beneath the C horizon lies bedrock.


concentrate		aconcentrate of minerals produced by crushing, grinding and processing methods such as gravity, flotation or leaching.


exploration stage		the search for mineral deposits (reserves) which are not in either the development or production stage.


Form 43-101		technical report issued pursuant to Canadian Securities rules, the objective of which is to provide a summary of scientific and technical information concerning mineral exploration, development and production activities on a mineral property that is material to an issuer. The Form 43-101F1 is prepared in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The 43-101 Form sets out specific requirements for the preparation and contents of a technical report.


feasibility study		a comprehensive study of a mineral deposit in which all geological, engineering, legal, operating, economic, social, environmental and other relevant factors are considered in sufficient detail that it could reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a financial institution to finance the development of the deposit for mineral production.


grade		the metal content of rock with precious metals. Grade can be expressed as troy ounces or grams per tonne of rock.


granodiorite		a medium to coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock, intermediate in composition between quartz diorite and quartz monzonite.


gold deposit		a mineral deposit mineralized with gold

Table of Contents


hydrothermal		the products or the actions of heated waters in a rock mass such as a mineral deposit precipitating from a hot solution.


igneous		a primary type of rock formed by the cooling of molten material.


inferred mineral resource		that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and reasonable assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings, and drill holes.


intrusion		intrusive-molten rock which is intruded (injected) into spaces that are created by a combination of melting and displacement.


mafic		igneous rocks composed mostly of dark, iron- and magnesium-rich minerals.


metallurgical tests		scientific examinations of rock/material to determine the optimum extraction of metal contained. Core samples from diamond drill holes are used as representative samples of the mineralization for this test work.


mineral resource		a concentration or occurrence of diamonds, natural solid inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base and precious metals, coal, and industrial minerals in or on the Earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories.


ore		a naturally occurring rock or material from which minerals, such as gold, can be extracted at a profit; a determination of whether a mineral deposit contains ore is often made by a feasibility study.


open pit		a mining method whereby the mineral reserves are accessed from surface by the successive removal of layers of material usually creating a large pit at the surface of the earth.


ounce or oz.		a troy ounce or 20 pennyweights or 480 grains or 31.103 grams


petrology		a field of geology which focuses on the study of rocks and the conditions by which they form. There are three

Table of Contents


		branches of petrology, corresponding to the three types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.


pre-feasibility study		a comprehensive study of the viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where the mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, has been established, where an effective method of mineral processing has been determined, and includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions of technical, engineering, legal, operating, and economic factors and evaluation of other relevant factors which are sufficient for a Qualified Person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the Mineral Resource may be classified as a Mineral Reserve.


probable reserve		the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some circumstances, a measured mineral resource demonstrated by a least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.


prospect		an area prospective for economic minerals based on geological, geophysical, geochemical and other criteria


production stage		all companies engaged in the exploitation of a mineral deposit (reserve).


proven reserve		the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.


qualified person		an individual who is an engineer or geoscientist with at least five years of experience in mineral exploration, mine development or operation or mineral project assessment, or any combination of these; has experience relevant to the subject matter of the mineral project and the Technical Report; and is a member or licensee in good standing of a professional association.


reserve		that part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Reserves are customarily stated in terms of ‘‘ore’’ when dealing with metalliferous minerals such as gold or silver.


shaft		a vertical or inclined tunnel in an underground mine driven downward from surface.


shear		a tabular zone of faulting within which the rocks are crushed and flattened.

Table of Contents


stratigraphic units		sequences of bedded rocks in specific areas


strike		the direction of line formed by intersection of a rock surface with a horizontal plane. Strike is always perpendicular to direction of dip.


thrust fault		a particular type of fault, or break in the fabric of the Earth's crust with resulting movement of each side against the other, in which a lower stratigraphic position is pushed up and over another. This is the result of compressional forces.


trenching		the surface excavation of a linear trench to expose mineralization for sampling


vein		a tabular body of rock typically of narrow thickness and mineralized occupying a fault, shear, fissure or fracture crosscutting another pre-existing rock.

3D.	Risk Factors

The Company faces risk factors and uncertainties, similar to those faced by other exploration and development companies in South East Asia, including the following general description of significant risk factors:


	•	Not All of Our Mineral Properties Contain a Known Commercially Mineable Mineral Deposit: The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk which even with a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate the risk. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. At present, one of the Company’s properties, Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan), has a known body of commercial ore under Canadian securities rules. Major expenses may be required to located and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. The long-term profitability of the Company’s operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its ability to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. It is impossible to ensure that the exploration or development programs planned by the Company will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. Whether a mineral deposit is commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the following: particular attributes of the deposit, such as grade, size and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which are volatile; and government regulations, including regulations relating to investment, mining, prices, taxes, royalties, land use and tenure, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.


	•	Because We Have Largely Been an Exploration Company, We are Dependent Upon Our Ability to Raise Funds In Order to Carry Out Our Business: Even though the Company has produced and sold an incidental amount of gold (616 ounces) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company is still primarily an exploration company. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $27,199,685 as at August 31, 2006. With ongoing cash requirements for exploration, development and new operating activities, it will be necessary in the near and over the long-term to raise substantial funds from external sources. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise these funds on acceptable terms or at all. If we do not raise these funds, we would be unable to pursue our business activities and investors could lose their investment. If we are able to raise funds, investors could experience a dilution of their interests which would negatively impact the market value of the shares.


	•	We Will Not Be Able to Insure Against All Possible Risks: Exploration for natural resources involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to the Company’s properties or the properties of others, delays, monetary losses and possible legal liability. If any such catastrophic event occurs, investors could lose their entire investment. The Company obtains and continues to intend to obtain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable. Obtained insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with the activities of the Company. Moreover, the Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. The Company might also become subject to liability for pollution or other

Table of Contents


		hazards which may not be insured against or which the Company may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations. Should a catastrophic event arise, investors could lose their entire investment.


	•	Commodity Price Fluctuations — if a Gold Price Decline Occurred, Our Properties May Not Be Economically Viable: The Company’s revenues are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of base and precious metals such as gold. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new or improved mining and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals cannot be predicted and the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving adequate returns on invested capital or the investments retaining their respective values. There is no assurance that the price of gold (including other base and precious metals) will be high enough that our properties will be mined at a profit. Fluctuations in the gold price affect the Company’s reserve estimates, its ability to obtain financing and its financial condition as well as requiring reassessments of feasibility and operational requirements of a project. Reassessments may cause substantial delays or interrupt operations until the reassessment is finished.


	•	There are Risks Associated with Competition: The resource industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases, and the Company competes for mineral properties, investment funds and technical expertise with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than it does. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire suitable properties for exploration in the future, secure financing for our operations and attract and retain mining experts. Consequently, there can be no assurance that our exploration activities or acquisitions will be successful or result in viable mining operations.


	•	Noncompliance With Regulations Could Cause Cessation of Business Activities: Such activities are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters. We may not be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits required to carry out exploration at, developments of, or mining at our projects. Unfavourable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of operations by the Company. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in resource exploration may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violation of applicable laws or regulations. Large increases in capital expenditures resulting from any of the above factors could force the Company to cease business activities.


	•	Environmental Regulation May Affect Our Ability to Continue to Perform Our Business Activities: The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdiction in which it operates. Environmental legislation is still evolving in this jurisdiction and it is expected to evolve in a manner which may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

	•	Without Licences Our Ability to Explore, Develop or Mine Cannot Occur: In order to explore, develop or conduct mining operations in Vietnam, the Company must establish or create an entity authorized to conduct Business in Vietnam via an Investment Licence. Then, the Company requires a prospecting licence, an exploration licence and a mining licence, depending on the level of work being conducted on the property. Without all the appropriate licenses, our activities could not occur.


	•	Potential Loss of Options Rights and Interest in Joint Ventures: The Company may, in the future, be unable to meet its share of costs incurred under any option or joint venture agreements to which it is presently or becomes a party in the future and the Company may have its interest in the properties subject to such agreements reduced as a result. Furthermore, if other parties to such agreements do not meet their share of such costs, the Company may be unable to finance the cost required to complete recommended programs. The loss of any option rights or interest in joint ventures would have a material, adverse effect on the Company.


	•	Title to Assets Can Be Challenged or Impugned: Although the Company has or will receive title opinions for any concessions in which it has or will acquire a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such concessions will be not challenged or impugned. In some countries, the system for recording title to the rights to explore, develop and mine natural resources is such that a title opinion provides only minimal comfort that the holder has title. Also, in many countries, claims have been made and new claims are being made by aboriginal peoples that call into question the rights granted by the governments of those countries. In Vietnam, mining laws are in a state of flux, continuously being reviewed and updated, and while the Company has obtained comfort on title to its interests in Vietnam, the system is new and as yet untested. If title to assets is challenged or impugned, the Company may not be able to explore, develop or operate its properties as permitted or enforce its rights with respect to the properties.


	•	Political and Economic Instability Could Adversely Affect Our Business Activities: The Company’s exploration, development and operation activities occur in Vietnam and, as such, the Company may be affected by possible political or economic instability in that country. The risks include, but are not limited to, terrorism, military repression, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and high rates of inflation. Changes in resource development or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in that country may adversely affect the Company’s Business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. The laws on foreign investment and mining are still evolving in Vietnam and it is not known to where they will evolve. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.


	•	Exchange Rate and Interest Rate Fluctuations May Increase the Company’s Costs: The profitability of the Company may be adversely affected by fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates between the Canadian Dollars, Australian dollars, US Dollars and Vietnamese Dongs. Exchange rate fluctuations affect the costs in Canadian dollar terms the Company incurs in its exploration and development activities. For example, the appreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would increase costs in Canadian dollar terms. The Company does not currently take any steps to hedge against currency fluctuations. In the event of interest rates rising, the liabilities of the Company that are tied to market interest rates would increase the Company’s borrowing costs. Currently, if interest rates were to rise, this would impact the interest incurred on the loan facility with Macquarie Bank Limited which bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%.

Table of Contents


	•	Our Stock Price Could be Volatile: The market price of our common shares, like that of the common shares of many other natural resource companies, has been and is likely to remain volatile. Results of exploration activities, the price of gold and silver, future operating results, changes in estimates of the Company’s performance by securities analysts, market conditions for natural resource shares in general, and other factors beyond the control of the Company, could have a significant, adverse impact on the market price of common shares.


	•	Our Stock will be a Penny Stock which Imposes Significant Restrictions on Broker-Dealers Recommending the Stock For Purchase. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations define ‘‘penny stock’’ to include common stock that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These regulations include the following requirements: broker-dealers must deliver, prior to the transaction, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market; broker-dealers must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer and its registered representative; broker-dealers must disclose current quotations for the securities; if a broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control over the market; and a broker-dealer must furnish its customers with monthly statements disclosing recent price information for all penny stocks held in the customer’s account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Additional sales practice requirements are imposed on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. If our Shares become subject to these penny stock rules these disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Shares, if such trading market should ever develop, of which there can be no assurance. Accordingly, this may result in a lack of liquidity in the Shares and investors may be unable to sell their Shares at prices considered reasonable by them.


	•	We Do Not Plan to Pay any Dividends in the Foreseeable Future. The Company has never paid a dividend and it is unlikely that the Company will declare or pay a dividend until warranted based on the factors outlined below. The declaration, amount and date of distribution of any dividends in the future will be decided by the Board of Directors from time-to-time, based upon, and subject to, the Company’s earnings, financial requirements and other conditions prevailing at the time.


	•	Dilution of Share Value: There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which common shares may be issued in the future. If these shares are issued, this will result in further dilution to the Company’s shareholders.


	•	In the Event that Key Employees Leave the Company, the Company Would Be Adversely Affected: The Company is heavily dependent on key employees and contractors, and on a relatively small number of key directors and officers, the loss of any of whom could have, in the short-term, an adverse effect on the Company. The Company has consulting agreements with the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer.


	•	Our Management May Not Be Subject to U.S. Legal Process. The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be adversely affected by the fact that all of our officers and directors are neither citizens nor residents of the United States. There can be no assurance that (a) U.S. stockholders will be able to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons, (b) U.S. stockholders will be able to enforce, in United States courts, judgments against such persons obtained in such courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws, (c) appropriate foreign courts would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws, and (d) the appropriate foreign courts would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated solely upon the United States federal securities

		laws. However, U.S. laws would generally be enforced by a Canadian court provided that those laws are not contrary to Canadian public policy, are not foreign penal laws or laws that deal with taxation or the taking of property by a foreign government and provided that they are in compliance with applicable Canadian legislation regarding the limitation of actions.


	•	Management May Be Subject to Conflicts of Interest Due to Affiliations with Other Resource Companies: Because some of our directors and officers have private mining interests and also serve as officers and/or directors of other public mining companies, their personal interests are continually in conflict with the interests of the Company. Situations will arise where these persons are presented with mining opportunities, which may be desirable for the Company, as well as other companies in which they have an interest, to pursue. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pursue such opportunities because of our officers’ and directors’ conflicts. In addition to competition for suitable mining opportunities, the Company competes with these other companies for investment capital, and technical resources, including consulting geologists, metallurgist engineers and others. Similarly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain necessary investment capital and technical resources because of our officers’ and directors’ conflicts. Such conflict of interests are permitted under Canadian regulations and will continue to subject the Company to the continuing risk that it may be unable to acquire certain mining opportunities, investment capital and the necessary technical resources because of competing personal interests of some of our officers and directors.


	•	Future Sales of Common Shares by Existing Shareholders: Sales of large quantities of our common shares in the public markets or the potential of such sales, could decrease the trading price of the common shares and could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through future sales of common shares.


ITEM 4:	INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY


4A.	History and Development of the Company

Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’) was incorporated by registration of its memorandum and articles under the laws of the Province of Ontario on July 4, 1951 under the name ‘‘Meta Uranium Mines Limited’’. Effective August 24, 1978, the Company changed its name from ‘‘Meta Uranium Mines Limited’’ to ‘‘Metina Developments Inc.’’ The Company was continued under the Company Act (British Columbia) with the name ‘‘Olympus Holdings Ltd.’’ on November 5, 1992 and consolidated its share capital on a 4.5:1 basis. The Company further consolidated its share capital on a 3:1 basis and changed its name from ‘‘Olympus Holdings Ltd.’’ to ‘‘Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc.’’ on November 29, 1996.

On February 26, 1997, and subsequently amended on August 18, 1997, the Company entered into the Ivanhoe agreement with Ivanhoe Mines Limited (‘‘Ivanhoe’’) (formerly Indochina Goldfields Ltd.) and Zedex Ltd. (‘‘Zedex’’) (formerly Iddison Group Vietnam Limited, Iddison Holdings Limited, Iddison Limited and IT Capital Limited). Pursuant to the Ivanhoe Agreement, which was completed on September 11, 1997, the Company acquired from Ivanhoe all of the shares of Formwell Holdings Limited (‘‘Formwell’’), which holds all the shares of Bong Mieu Holdings Limited, which in turn holds 80% of the shares of Bong Mieu Gold Mining Limited (‘‘Bogomin’’). Bogomin, together with other local and national branches of the government of Vietnam, holds various mining and exploration licenses comprising the Bong Mieu gold mine and the Tien Ha properties in Quang Nam-Da Nang Province, in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The Company also entered into a joint venture agreement with Ivanhoe and Zedex, whereby the Company had a 57.18% interest in New Vietnam Mining Corporation (‘‘NVMC’’) as at December 31, 2001. NVMC was comprised of Olympus (57.18%), Ivanhoe (32.64%) and Zedex (10.18%). The Phuoc Son Gold Project is held by NVMC. Olympus is the operator of the project.

In 2000, the Company was successful in raising $3.4 million in equity financings. During 2000, the Company accelerated its exploration activities at the Phuoc Son gold project in Central Vietnam. Exploration costs increased to $905,000 in 2000 from $316,000 in 1999.

In 2003, the Company’s subsidiary, NVMC entered into a strategic alliance with Mien Trung Industrial Company (‘‘Minco’’), a mining company controlled by the local provincial government, resulting in the formation of the Phuoc Son Gold Company (‘‘PSGC’’) for the purposes of exploration and extraction activities and any other related activities. The Company owns 100% of NVMC which, in turn, owns an 85% interest in the Phuoc Son Gold Company (‘‘PSGC’’). Minco, owns 15% of PSGC. Refer to Item 4D.1 for further details on the joint venture.

On March 1, 2004, the Company entered into a Vend-in Agreement and on June 21, 2004 an Extension of Vend-in Agreement with Ivanhoe Mines Ltd and Zedex Limited (the ‘‘vendors’’) to acquire the remaining interests held by Ivanhoe and Zedex in NVMC. In June 2004, the Company acquired the remaining 42.82% of the outstanding shares of NVMC from Zedex and Ivanhoe.

Applications for additional properties in Vietnam and adjacent countries have been filed and are being reviewed by the respective government bodies.

The Company’s executive office is located at:
Suite 500 – 10 King Street East
Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1C3

4.B	Business Overview

General

Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’ or ‘‘Olympus’’) is an international mining exploration and development company focused on the mineral potential of Vietnam and the surrounding area. The Company is a public company listed on the TSX Exchange under the trading symbol OYM since April 3, 2006, and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol OP6. Olympus has been active in Vietnam since the mid-1990s on its own account and through associated companies New Vietnam Mining Corporation and Bong Mieu Gold Mining Corporation and maintains an office in Danang in central Vietnam.

The Company’s two most advanced properties, covered by investment licenses, are the 70 square km Phuoc Son Gold property and the 30 square km Bong Mieu Gold property. Both properties are located in central Vietnam along the Phuoc Son-Sepon Suture that hosts such world-class deposits as the Sepon deposit of Oxiana Limited that is about 150 km to the west of the Company’s two properties. The Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son Gold properties are approximately 74 km apart. Proven and probable reserves exist for the Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine. In 2005 and 2006, the Company constructed a plant at the Company’s Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine. As a result of ongoing mine construction and equipment upgrades in 2006 at Bong Mieu Central, an incidental amount of gold bars were poured and sold as of June 30, 2006.

Exploration work to date has resulted in one new significant discovery in the Bong Mieu East area (Thac Trang) as well as a number of new, surface showings. In addition, further exploration will be required to define the extent of the deposits in several directions. Based on results of the exploration work completed to date, management believes the potential for additional discoveries and resource expansion at the Bong Mieu property is positive. Underground rehabilitation and evaluation studies are continuing at the Bong Mieu Underground mine, located within one kilometre of the operating Bong Mieu Central plant site. If feasible, the Bong Mieu Central plant capacity may be further expanded to accommodate increased production at a (blended) head-grade substantially above the current open-pit ROM (run of mine) grade.

Table of Contents

The Phuoc Son Gold property is located in central Vietnam, 74 km away from the Bong Mieu Gold property. The property hosts over 30 known gold prospects and two known high-grade gold deposits in the Dak Sa area of the property. Phuoc Son Gold Company has been granted a Mining Licence by the Government of Vietnam to mine and develop its Dak Sa Deposits (North and South Deposits). The Mining Licence was the last major permit required prior to proceeding with development and production. All major environmental approvals have been received and an independent, positive Preliminary Assessment Study of Phuoc Son was completed by Micon International Limited (‘‘Minco’’) in May 2005. Exploration work to date has defined the ‘‘productive’’ Dak Sa zone, which contains the two deposits, North and South Deposits, over a minimum length of approximately five km. Exploration drilling during 2005 has expanded the Dak Sa resource base and has confirmed that the limits of mineralization could be further expanded with additional exploration activities. Evaluation of the large Phuoc Son land package continues to reinforce the potential of the overall property to host new deposits which could be mined in conjunction with the anticipated Dak Sa operation or have potential to be stand alone deposits.

REGULATION OF MINING INDUSTRY AND FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN VIETNAM

The current Vietnamese mining law was enacted in 1996, with various subsequent modifications. The Vietnamese Mining Law was initially drafted by an international law firm (Phillip Fox) and broadly modeled on Australian and Canadian Mining Law. A company may apply to the licensing authority, the Ministry of Natural Resources & Environment, for prospecting, exploration and mining Licenses, much as in Australia and Canada. A prospecting license provides for low impact prospecting over a broad area for a 2 year term; an exploration license provides an exclusive right to conduct advanced exploration over areas of up to 50 km2 for an initial 2 year term, after which 50% of that area may be renewed for a further 2 year term. Exploration license holders have the right to apply for a mining license at any time up to 6 months after expiry of an exploration license. A mining preliminary feasibility study, an Environmental Impact Report and an investment license are required to support a mining license application. Investment licenses are issued by the Ministry of Planning and Investment. A mining license provides the right to mine specified minerals for the life-of-mine indicated by the preliminary feasibility study.

Since Vietnam is a World Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’) applicant, foreign companies are ostensibly treated on an equal basis as Vietnamese companies.

4D.	Property, Plant and Equipment

General

Olympus is exploring the Phuoc Son property for primary gold deposits. The Phuoc Son property is located in the western highlands of Quang Nam Province, in central Vietnam, some eight km (14.5 km by road) northwest of the small town of Kham Duc and approximately 90 km southwest of the costal city of Da Nang, the fourth largest city in Vietnam. The South and North Deposits (formerly Bai Dat and Bai Go), which comprise the Dak Sa project, lie about one km apart. The property is covered by a 30-year Investment Licence covering 7,000 hectare granted in October 2003. A five-year Mining Licence has been granted over the South and North deposits. The five year Mining License is renewable and amendable. The elevation of the project area ranges between 400 and 800 metres above sea level. Olympus owns 85% and the Company’s Vietnamese partner owns 15% of the Phuoc Son Gold Project.

The Company holds Mining and Investment Licences covering 30 square km within the Bong Mieu gold property area. The Investment Licence covers three deposits: Bong Mieu Central (an open pit), Bong Mieu East (a potentially open-pittable deposit) and Bong Mieu Underground (an underground deposit) that was operated by the French from 1896 to 1941. Olympus acquired this project in 1997. Olympus owns 80% and the Company’s Vietnamese partner own 20% of the Bong Mieu property. The Company constructed the Bong Meiu Central open pit mine and associated infrastructure in 2005 and 2006, with commercial gold production starting in the fourth quarter of 2006.

4D.1	Phuoc Son Gold Property

Olympus Pacific currently holds an 85% interest in the Phuoc Son Gold Project with a focus of exploration, development and production of gold and other potential minerals in the specified project area, located in Phuoc Son and Nam Giang districts in the Quang Nam Province. In 2003, the Company's subsidiary, New Vietnam Mining Company (‘‘NVMC’’), entered into a joint venture with Mien Trung Industrial Company (‘‘Minco’’), a mining company controlled by the local provincial government, to form the Phuoc Son Gold Company (‘‘PSGC’’). PSGC has an investment license on the Phuoc Son property. NVMC's initial interest in the PSGC is 85% and Minco has a 15% interest. After five years, from the end of the period in which PSGC makes a profit for 12 consecutive months, Minco can increase its interest by 15% to 30% if Minco chooses to acquire such interest from NVMC by paying fair market value. After 20 years, Minco can increase its interest to a total of 50% if Minco chooses to acquire such additional 20% interest from NVMC by paying fair market value. Fair market value shall be determined by using an independent accounting firm to perform the fair market value assessment and that assessment will be considered final and binding for both parties. If Minco does not proceed on exercising its right of acquisition within three months from the dates of entitled acquisition, Minco will be considered as having waived its right to acquire the interest. Total invested capital is estimated to be approximately U.S. $10 million dollars, although actual costs incurred could differ from this estimate. If any party fails to contribute, by way of debt or equity, in proportion to its participating interest or defaults on any other substantial obligation under the agreement and such default is not rectified within 60 days of notice of default, the non-defaulting party can terminate the agreement or serve notice on the defaulting party which would result in the participating interest of each party being recalculated and adjusted based on the percentage of debt and equity contributed by each party when compared to the total debt and equity contributed by both parties.

On March 1, 2004, the Company entered into a Vend-in Agreement and on June 21, 2004 an Extension of Vend-in Agreement with Ivanhoe Mines Ltd and Zedex Limited (the ‘‘vendors’’) to acquire the remaining interests held by Ivanhoe and Zedex in NVMC. The Company issued a total of 13,483,113 shares to acquire the NVMC interest. As a result of these agreements, the Company owns 100% of NVMC. NVMC owns 85% of the Phuoc Son Gold Project resulting in the Company holding an 85% interest in the Project. Upon closing of the Vend-in Agreement, the original joint venture agreement dated September 11, 1997 between Olympus, Zedex Limited and Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. was terminated. Post closing, each vendor has the right to nominate two directors as long as each vendor holds 15% or more of Olympus’ issued and outstanding shares as at the record date for the annual general meetings. If the ownership of Olympus’ issued and outstanding shares drops below 15% but above or equal to 10%, the right exists for one director to be nominated and if ownership is below 10%, there is no obligation to include a nominee for director from either vendor. In June 2004, the Company acquired the remaining 42.82% of the outstanding shares of NVMC from Zedex and Ivanhoe. The Company completed the acquisition by issuing 13,483,133 common shares of which 3,205,467 shares were received by Zedex and 10,277,646 shares were received by Ivanhoe.

At Phuoc Son, the Company holds an investment license covering a 70 square km area and a mining license on the Dak Sa deposits. The development project covering the two deposits is known as the Dak Sa Underground Project.

On September 16, 2006, an Agreement for Fulfilment of Contract was entered into between PSGC and Huong Toan Company Ltd. (‘‘Huong Toan’’). The purpose of the agreement is to contract out the mining of the ore for Dak Sa project to Huong Toan and includes such activities as preparing the construction site, building the explosive magazine, supplying and transporting explosives, preparing and obtaining approval for blasting plan, and supplying the labour involved. The cost of the agreement is approximately $3.8 million over the whole term of the agreement which is up to a maximum of three years.

(a) Property Description and Location

The Phuoc Son Gold property, is located in the western highlands of Quang Nam Province, in central Vietnam, some 8 km (14.5 km by road) northwest of the small town of Kham Duc and approximately 90 km (140 km by road) southwest of the costal city of Da Nang, the fourth largest city in Vietnam (see Figure 1).

To date, over 30 gold prospects have been identified within the 70 square km project area. The most advanced prospects are in the Dak Sa sector. On May 18, 2005, Olympus announced the results of a positive independent preliminary assessment study completed by Micon International Limited (‘‘Micon’’) for the Dak Sa Underground Project which covers the South and North deposits. The two gold deposits, which comprise the Dak Sa project, lie about 1 km apart. There is no known commercially mineable mineral deposits on this property and there can be no assurance that a commercially mineable mineral deposit exists on the property.

On October 20, 2003, a 30-year investment license No. 2355/GP was granted for the Phuoc Son property covering 7,000 ha. The license permits Minco and NVMC to establish a joint venture, Phuoc Son Gold Company Limited (‘‘PSGC’’), for a term of 30 years. PSGC has investment capital of $10,000,000 and the legal capital of $3,000,000 of which NVMC contributes $2,550,000 (85%) and Minco contributes $450,000 (15%). PSGC must pay the Vietnamese government annual land rent and annual corporate tax of 40% of net profit but will be exempt from import duties and is subject to 7% tax upon remittance of profits abroad. Minco has not yet contributed to the legal capital and, as a result, Minco defers its rights to receive its share of the distributions of profits until its contribution to legal capital is received in full. Legal capital recorded for PSGC of $2,550,000 is equal to what has been contributed.

On January 23, 2006, a Mining Licence application was granted over the South and North deposits. The Mining License allows the Phuoc Son Gold Company Ltd. over a 3.5 year period to construct the mine and perform mining activities. Within 12 months of this license grant, construction of the process plant must start. The Company is in the process of obtaining the construction license and the import license for mining equipment for the Phuoc Son Gold property. The PSGC exploration license is in the process of being renewed.

Figure 1 shows the location of the property.

(b) Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, and Infrastructure

Access to the Dak Sa Project area within the Phuoc Son property is by 140 km of bitumen road from Da Nang to Kham Duc. From Kham Duc to the mine area is approximately 14.5 km on a fairly poor dirt road. This access road will be upgraded during construction. The South and North gold deposits lie about one km apart and are linked together via a dirt road.

The climate is sub-tropical with average monthly temperatures ranging from about 27°C in June to 20.5°C in December, although it is reported that temperatures may fall below 15º C in the cold season. Average annual rainfall is 2,762.5 mm with the maximum average monthly value of 763.8 mm, which occurs in October.

The minimum average monthly precipitation value is for February and measures 30.9 mm. Regionally, the relative humidity is high and reasonably consistent year round, ranging from an average of approximately 83% in April to 93% in November and December. Storms often occur in Quang Nam Province in September, October and November and cause heavy rain and strong wind with an average speed of 65 km/hr and a maximum of approximately 140 km/hr.

The Phuoc Son Project is located in the central highlands, an area that is one of the poorest regions of Vietnam. The local economy is primarily subsistence agriculture although local ongoing highway construction has provided a source of employment. Artisanal mining is ongoing on the Property and while this activity has reduced from past periods it is not strongly discouraged by the

Table of Contents

government as it helps reduce unemployment and stimulate the local economy. Olympus is doing its best to keep this activity in check and has good relations with the miners. These miners may be suitable candidates for future Olympus development and mining operations.

Nearby communities include Phuoc Duc Commune (population ~1,990) and Kham Duc District Town (population ~6,560), where Olympus has its local headquarters. Kham Duc has a district hospital with out-patient facilities and limited trauma casualty facilities, but health care and education facilities are considered inadequate, with a distinct division in the standard of services and socio-economic opportunity available to ethnic minorities.

Electricity is provided from the Vietnam national grid supplying 1.6 MW at 22 kV supply. Telecommunications facilities are good and include internet and cell phone service. Water, although often polluted by the artisanal mining, is readily available on and near the Property. The population density within the Dak Sa Valley is approximately 25 per km². Except for small-scale slash and burn agriculture, the topographic relief in the area of the project area is unfavourable for farming activities.

Two major stratigraphic units are present on the Property as follows:

Kham Duc Formation (Proterozoic): This formation consists largely of sedimentary rock.

Avuong Formation (Paleozoic): This formation is distinctive as it hosts significant amounts of mafic volcanic rock types.

The most significant fault related to mineralization on Property is the Dak Sa Fault Zone (‘‘DSFZ’’). The Dak Sa fault zone runs North-South for over five km through the centre of the Dak Sa Prospect (host to the South and North deposits). The DSFZ appears to be primarily a thrust fault and features prominent gold mineralized quartz vein/breccias.

(d) History of Exploration on the Phuoc Son Gold Property

In 1997 and 1998, Olympus Pacific Minerals became involved in the Phuoc Son project and took over direction of exploration programs from Indochina Goldfields Ltd. (subsequently Ivanhoe Mines Ltd.).

Since Olympus became directly involved in Phuoc Son in 1998 there have been several stages of exploration (carried out through and by NMVC). Selected portions of the property, including some safely-accessible artisanal underground workings, have been subjected to geological mapping, bedrock, float and channel sampling, soil geochemical surveying, magnetic surveying, self-potential geophysics and diamond drilling. The exploration stages are described as follows:


	•	Stage 1 (October 1998 – March 1999): reconnaissance surveying of the then 100 km2 license area, identification of the three major mineralized shear structures, and commencement of detailed exploration over the first of these structures (the Dak Sa shear zone);


	•	Stage 2 (April 1999 – December 1999): continuation of detailed exploration over the southern end of the Dak Sa shear zone (including mapping/sampling and diamond drilling six holes at Bai Dat) and follow-up exploration at other sites (particularly at K7) within the balance of the license area;


	•	Stage 3 (January 2000 to June 2000): grid soil sampling in the Dak Sa & K7 shear zones, rock sampling, geological mapping, pan concentrate survey, diamond drilling of 29 holes at Bai Dat, Bai Cu, Bai Chuoi and Bai Go, within the Dak Sa shear zone;


	•	Stage 4 (July 2000 to December 2000): detailed geological mapping, nine km2 soil survey north of Bai Go, rock geochemistry, petrology and diamond drilling of 17 holes at Bai Dat, Bai Cu, Bai Chuoi and Bai Go;


	•	Stage 5 (January 2001 – December, 2001): continuation of drilling with 31 additional holes at the Bai Go, Bai Gio and Bo prospects, as well as geological mapping, rock and soil geochemistry, pitting, surface and underground channel sampling, petrology, and gridding at other prospects including K7, Hoa Son, Tra Lon, Suoi Cay, Vang Nhe, Khe Rin, Khe Do and Khe Cop;

Table of Contents


	•	Stage 6 (January 2002 to December, 2002): scout drilling at the Khe Rin, North Khe Do, Khe Do, Bai Buom, Tra Long and K7 prospects (32 drillholes), as well as pitting at Nui Vang, geological mapping/sampling, soil geochemistry, ground magnetometer surveying at Khe Rin-Khe Do and Bai Buom, reconnaissance mapping elsewhere, including Vang Nhe, Tra Long, K7 and Hoa Son; commencement of mine scoping studies at Dak Sa; and


	•	Stage 7 (January 2003 to December 31, 2003): in-fill, step-out and geotechnical diamond drilling at Bai Dat, Bai Go, Bai Chuoi and Bai Cu (27 holes); preparation of mineral resource estimates for the Bai Dat and Bai Go deposits; continuation of the scoping studies. A diamond drilling program was completed at Bai Chuoi sector (between the Bai Dat and Bai Go deposits) and soil geochemical surveys were being conducted elsewhere on the property.

As at December 31, 2003, accumulated deferred exploration costs were $3,320,716 and mineral properties was $904,605 for the Phuoc Son Gold Property

2004 Work

In 2004, deep C-horizon soil geochem, ground magnetic and radiometric surveying were completed at the South Bai Cu, Round Hill, Ca Creek, Dak Sa, North Dak Sa, Bai Gio East, Bai Gio North, Hoa Son, K7 East and Tra Long prospects. A small orientation SP (self potential geophysics), program was completed at Nui Vang prospect. Geological mapping was conducted at Dak Sa, Quartz Creek, South Bai Cu, Round Hill, K7 and Ca Creek prospects. A BLEG and stream sediment sample program was completed over the northern section of the Phuoc Son Investment Licence not covered by previous surveys. Diamond drill programs were carried out at Bai Cu (4 holes), Bai Chuoi (one hole), Round Hill (5 holes), Nui Vang (3 holes), K7 (3 holes), Bai Gio North (6 holes), and Khe Rin (7 holes), prospects. Two metallurgic drill holes were completed at Dak Sa — South Deposit (one hole), and North Deposit (one hole). A geophysical consultant from Canada visited the property and filtered/processed all previous magnetic data to facilitate improved anomaly resolution. Based on favourable results, exploration continued into 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2004, $1,095,335 was incurred on mineral properties for the Phuoc Son Gold Property, excluding the impact of the Vend—In transaction described in Item 4.D.1.

2005 Work

In 2005, Self Potential (SP), geophysical programs were completed over the Dak Sa sector, Hoa Son, Bai Gio North, Bai Gio East and Bai Cu prospects. Trenching and sampling at Bai Gio North and Bai Gio East was completed. Geological mapping was completed at Bai Gio North, Bai Gio East, Hoa Son and Bai Chuoi. Exploration diamond drilling programs were conducted at Bai Go North (one hole), North Deposit (9 holes), South Deposit (16 holes) and Bai Chuoi (3 holes). An intensive re-logging program was carried out on North Deposit drill core during the year, combined with structural studies and new drill sections prepared and reviewed for Dak Sa. Resource estimates were completed to update the South Deposit ore body, incorporating the results of the in-fill drill program. The results of exploration were favourable in 2005, especially in the Dak Sa area, resulting in further exploration work in 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2005, deferred exploration and development costs of $1,805,607 were incurred for the Phuoc Son Gold Property.

2006 Work

To July 31, 2006, diamond drilling programs consisting of 33 holes for 5,133 metres have been completed as follows: North Deposit (22 holes), South Deposit (2 metallurgical holes and 1 geotechnical hole) and 8 exploration holes on assorted priority targets in the Dak Sa area. These ongoing exploration activities resulted in additional positive drill results at Phuoc Son. The continued drilling at the North Deposit returned results nearly doubling the strike length of the North Deposit and confirming that the deposit remains open to the north and south. In April, 2006 resource estimates were updated internally by qualified persons using the original resource estimates validated by engineering firm, Watt Griffiths and McKewitt [‘‘WGM’’] as a base document. The update was on the North Deposit ore body, incorporating the results of drilling to March 31, 2006. The update

Table of Contents

showed an increase of approximately 80% in the Measured and Indicated mineral resource at the North Deposit. A feasibility study is in progress with respect to the North and South Deposits. An engineering firm has been selected to complete an independent review of this feasibility study that would result in an issuance of a Form 43-101 Compliant Independent Technical Report. The Form 43-101 evaluates the economics of mining the property and defines the reserves and resources. This Technical Report would include a further update of reserves and resources at Phuoc Son, reflecting the continued positive drill results we have experienced in the first half of 2006. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, deferred exploration and development costs and capital assets of $1,436,000 were incurred for the Phuoc Son Gold Property.

(e) Mineral Occurrences

Since 1998 Olympus has discovered and/or explored 23 important showings on the Phuoc Son Property. The most significant of these are the South and North Deposits in the Dak Sa area of the property. Following are descriptions of these two significant discoveries and a table summarizing the others based upon the Company’s own work.

South Deposit

The South Deposit is located in the southern portion of the property along the Dak Sa zone. Exploration to date has delineated one main mineralized quartz vein. The vein varies in thickness from one metre to over ten metres. The mineralized quartz vein contains pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite, and native gold. The total sulphides vary from less than 1% to more than 60%.

The South Deposit mineralization remains undefined on the down-dip to the NW (although rising terrain indicates increased depth to target in this direction) and with additional exploration, additional resources could be identified.

North Deposit

The North Deposit is some 1000 m north of the South Deposit on the Dak Sa zone. Overall, the North Deposit quartz vein system has widths of up to 32 m. The Au-Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization is primarily fracture controlled in quartz. Drilling has delineated a central high-grade zone. 2006 drill at the North Deposit has returned results nearly doubling the strike length of the North Deposit and confirming that the deposit remains undefined to the north and south.

Other Phuoc Son Property Showings

The Phuoc Son property hosts approximately 23 other occurrences and further exploration is required to evaluate the economic viability. Four of these occurrences are located in the Dak Sa area and have significant exploration potential that could result in development.

A copy of the Technical Report titled A Technical Review of the Phuoc Son Gold Project in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam by WGM can be found in the Company's filings at www.sedar.com. The WGM review and report were carried out and prepared in compliance with standards of National Instrument 43-101 in terms of structure and content and the Mineral Resource audit and classification were carried out in accordance with the provisions of NI 43-101 guidelines and the Council of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions.


4D.2	Bong Mieu Gold Property

Olympus has been involved with the property since September 1997. Olympus acquired its interest in theBong Mieu Gold Property in September 1997 by acquiring 100% of Bong Mieu Holding, Ltd. from Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. TheCompany has a 100% interest in Bong Mieu Holdings Ltd., which holds an 80% ownership interest in Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company Limited (‘‘Bogomin’’), a joint venture enterprise incorporated in Vietnam, which has surface rights on the Bong Mieu property. The other 20% of Bogomin is owned by two Vietnamese governmental organizations, MIDECO (10%) andMinco (10%).

The Company manages the exploration programs on the property on behalf of the joint venture. The property covers three known deposits, namelyBong Mieu Central (Ho Gan), Bong Mieu East (Ho Ray) and Bong Mieu Underground (Nui Kem), and several other mineralized occurrences. One property, Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan), has proven and probable reserves resulting in the related mine construction.

Starting in 2005 and continuing into 2006, mine construction at the Company’s Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine (Ho Gan) occurred. After the initial gold pour in March 2006, it was determined that the

Table of Contents

process needed to be reconfigured. The logistic supply chain for importing equipment into Vietnam is lengthy and deliveries take six to eight weeks after order placement. Consequently, new equipment installation and resulting system optimization has taken place during the course of second and third quarters of 2006. A fine grind circuit is expected to be operational in 2007.

The cost of the mineral property and rights for the Bong Mieu Gold Property, which includes the Ho Gan mine, is about $4 million as at June 30, 2006 and the cost of the property, plant , equipment and infrastructure for the Bong Mieu (Ho Gan) mine is approximately $5.8 million as at June 30, 2006. Current ore throughput at Ho Gan to date is about 500 tons per day with the goal of increasing capacity to at least 800 tons per day by mid-2007. Electric power for the plant is provided by the national grid with back-up power generation provided by the Company-owned generators which have the capacity to run the full operation.

Exploration work to date has resulted in one new significant discovery in the Bong Mieu East area (Thac Trang), a number of new, previously unexplored surface showings and indicated that all existing deposits remain undefined in several directions. Based on exploration results between 2004 to 2006, the potential for additional discoveries and resource expansion at the Bong Mieu property is considered excellent. Underground rehabilitation and evaluation studies are being conducted inhouse, continuing at the Bong Mieu Underground (Nui Kem) located within one kilometre of the operating Bong Mieu Central plant site.

(a) Property Description and Location

The Bong Mieu property is located in the Tam Lanh Commune of the Tam Ky District, in the southeast corner of Quang Nam Province in central Vietnam. It is some 20 km south of the provincial capital of Tam Ky which lies about 60 km south of the city of Da Nang along Highway 1 (see Figure 3).

The Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) gold deposit is located some 2 km south of the Bong Mieu camp and offices on the southern side of the Bong Mieu River. Figure 4 shows the location of the Ho Gan, Ho Ray and Nui Kem deposits and the other principal occurrences on the property.

The property is covered by a 25-year Investment License covering 3,000 ha granted in March, 1991. Two Mining Licenses (one on Ho Gan, the other on Nui Kem), a tailings area and a construction area (on the camp/office area), covering a total of 365 ha are located within the Investment License area.

The investment license, No: 140/GP, dated March 5, 1991, permits two parties; namely MIDECO, a Vietnamese Company, and Covictory Investment Limited (‘‘CIL’’), based in Australia, to establish a joint venture in Vietnam named Bong Mieu Gold Mining Co. Ltd. (‘‘Bogomin’’). The joint venture has a term of 25 years starting from the date of issuance of the investment license and after 25 years, an application can be made for extension. The joint venture was to have investment capital of $13,200,000 and legal capital of $1,000,000, with MIDECO contributing $200,000 cash or ‘‘in-kind’’ being 20% of legal capital and CIL contributing the equivalent of $800,000 in foreign currency, equipment and expenditures to Bogomin. Bogomin is exempt from import duties for all materials, equipment and spare parts imported by Bogomin and the product of Bogomin is licensed for export and sale in Vietnam. Bogomin must pay a 3% net smelter return royalty to the Vietnamese government, pay specified rent of US $200 per hectare per annum for land, remit corporate profit tax equal to 18% of profits for the first five years of profit (after five years the tax rate will be determined but will not exceed 25%); however, Bogomin is exempt from corporate profit tax for the first two profit-making years. The joint venture profits shall be shared as follows: 20% for MIDECO and 80% for CIL. At the remittance of profits abroad, CIL must remit 5% of profits as profit remittance tax. In an amendment to investment license No 140/GP, dated November 29, 1993, the assignment of all share capital, obligations, and rights of CIL in Bogomin to Bong Mieu Holdings Limited (‘‘BMHL’’) was approved. The license was also amended increasing the invested capital to $15,000,000. In a further amendment to investment license No 140/GP, dated June 9, 2005, the profit remittance tax was cancelled and the total invested capital was increased to $25,000,000 and legal capital was increased to $3,000,000 of which MIDECO contributes $600,000 of the legal capital in currency or in kind and

Table of Contents

BMHL contributes $2,400,000 in currency, materials, equipment and expenditures. As at September 30, 2006, MIDECO has contributed $200,000 and BMHL has contributed $2,400,000 to legal stated capital of Bogomin, resulting in total legal stated capital for Bogomin equal to $2,600,000.

On July 22, 1992, Bogomin obtained a mining license to allow the mining of gold at the Bong Mieu gold mine whereby the total mining area is 358 ha including open pit area of 230 ha, underground mine of 100 ha and tailings area of 28 ha. The mining license has a term of 25 years starting at the date of the issuance of the investment license. Each year a mining report must be submitted to the Ministry of Heavy Industry and the State Mineral Resources Management Department.

On October 9, 1993, a Land Use certificate was issued to Bong Mieu Gold Mining Co. Ltd. by the People’s Committee of Quang Nam-Da Nang Province for the Bong Mieu gold mine. The certificate covers a 365 ha area of which 300 ha is gold mining land, 32.3 ha is waste dumping land and 2.7 ha is for basic construction. The Land Use Certificate has a term of 25 years from September 1992 to September 2017.

On January 25, 2006, Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company obtained a gold export certificate to allow for exportation of any dore that is produced by the Company that will be refined and sold offshore. The Bong Mieu exploration license is in the process of being renewed.

(b) Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, and Infrastructure

Access to the Bong Mieu Project area is by 90 km of bitumen road from Da Nang, via Tam Ky to Tien Phuoc. The Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) Mine is accessed from Bong Mieu via previously constructed dirt tracks. Some of these are heavily eroded in places but can easily be reformed by bulldozer and faced with rock to provide all weather access.

The monsoon tropical climate has temperatures varying from a high of 42°C in summer to 16°C in winter, although it is reported that temperatures may fall below 15°C in the cold season. Rainfall records from the weather station at Bong Mieu show an average annual rainfall of 4,086 mm over the 2 year (August 1993 to July 1995) with a minimum annual rainfall of 2,935 mm and a maximum annual rainfall of 5,265 mm. Generally, 80% of the total annual precipitation occurs within the wet season (September to December) with the greatest precipitation occurring in October. January through August is generally drier month, with less than 180 mm of precipitation per month and January to April are typically extremely dry. Regionally, the relative humidity is high and reasonably consistent year round, ranging from an average of approximately 83% in April to 93% in November and December.

Most of the Property is relatively rugged with steep slopes and valleys. Maximum elevation is approximately 500 metres above sea level. The flattest portion of the Property is cultivated but the remainder has second — third — growth forest.

The Property is near the commune of Tam Lanh which comprises 10-12 villages and population of between 5,000 to 10,000. The commune provides a medical clinic and primary schools. The local economy is based on agriculture although some employment is found in local construction and a small amount of artisanal gold mining, both on the Property and outside.

Table of Contents

Electrical power via the national grid is close to the Property and reaches the villages. Water is available on the Property from the local rivers.

The Bong Mieu property is situated in central Vietnam, 20 km south of one of the main branches of the Phuoc Son Suture, which is probably one of the most important structural controls of gold metallogeny in central Vietnam.

Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan Deposit)

The Ho Gan deposit is flat lying, occurs on surface over an area of 1000 metres by 800 metres and extends in most places to a known vertical depth of up to 15 metres. The gold mineralization is hosted within altered, intrusive rocks, breccias and quartz veins.

Bong Mieu East

Mineralization is hosted by quartz veined and sulphide bearing skarn, granite gneiss and schists that dip moderately to the northeast.

Nui Kem

The mineralization is dominantly hosted by quartz-sulphide veins and shear zones contained within a sequence of altered sedimentary schists that dip shallowly to the south.

For the above three deposits, typical gold mineralization contains sulphides consisting primarily of pyrite and locally pyrhotite up to to 10%.

(d) History of Exploration on Bong Mieu Gold Property

From 1997 until late 2001 Olympus (which managed the project for Bogomin) carried out no work on the Property. During this period a small staff was employed to maintain a presence at the field office, to keep the Property secure and discourage artisanal mining as much as possible.

In mid-2002, Olympus renewed work at Bong Mieu. The Property database was reviewed, mapping and sampling carried out and historic Mineral Resource estimates reassessed, all in part by a geologist who had worked on the Property previously. A start was made on preparing updated JORC-compliant Mineral Resource estimates and recommendations were made for additional work.

In 2003, regional and property—scale geological mapping and geochemical rock sampling was completed. By the end of 2003, several areas were identified as meriting follow-up work.

As at December 31, 2003, accumulated deferred exploration costs were $517,079 and mineral properties was $3,944,000 for the Bong Mieu Gold Property.

2004 Work

Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan Deposit)

Infill and delineation diamond drilling programs comprising 228 holes were undertaken on the Ho Gan deposit. The holes were drilled vertically, on approximately 25 metre centers to depths ranging from 5.0 to 36 metres. The objective of the drill program was to expand and/or define the limits of the deposit to enable detailed engineering of the pit outlines and the preparation of production schedules.

The program was successful in extending the limits of the known mineralization as well as establishing the continuity of mineralization between the previously defined resource outlines in all three areas.

Bong Mieu East (Ho Ray Deposit & Thac Trang)

At Thac Trang immediately southeast of the Ho Ray deposit a 15-hole program was completed in July 2004. It encountered encouraging results which management believed warranted additional exploration in 2005.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, deferred exploration and development costs of $2,847,014 were incurred for the Bong Mieu Gold Property.

Table of Contents

2005 Work

Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan Deposit)

New resource estimates were completed in March of 2005 for the Ho Gan open pit deposit following completion of the 2004 drilling and receipt of all results. The updated Ho Gan mineral resource estimates (using a 1.0 g Au/t lower cutoff and a 10.0 g Au/t top cut) are shown in 4D.2 (f). The development of the mine commenced with the construction of the plant, tailings dams and related infrastructure.

Bong Mieu Central

Three shallow exploration and condemnation holes 54 metres were completed. Engineering, metallurgical and environmental studies were successfully completed.

Bong Mieu East — Ho Ray Deposit, Thac Trang and Rung De Prospects

A diamond drilling program during the early part of 2005 continued to evaluate the Thac Trang discovery.

Nui Kem

Five widely spaced exploration holes were completed at the Nui Kem deposit located approximately 1.5 km from the Ho Gan deposit. The drill program successfully confirmed the down-dip continuation of the main Nui Kem structure over a strike length of approximately 1.7 km and to a depth of 250 metres below the deepest underground development level. Gold assays ranging from 1.65 g/t to 2.68 g/t were returned. The drill program resulted in expanding the structure.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, $2,794,000 was spent on deferred exploration and development and $5,577,384 on capital assets for the Bong Mieu Gold Property.

2006 Work

Exploration, infill and metallurgical drill programs continued in the Bong Mieu East area. As of July, 2006 Olympus has completed 42 drill holes totalling approximately 2,861 metres. Metallurgical test-work on representative Bong Mieu East ore types is currently underway. The results of this work and the updating of the Bong Mieu East resource estimates are expected before year-end 2006.

Preliminary exploration programs, including drilling, have been initiated to evaluate the economic potential of two new prospects, Ho Gan East and Bong Mieu West.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, deferred exploration and development costs of $2,422,166 were incurred for the Bong Mieu Gold Property.

(e) Main mineral occurrences

Olympus is exploring the Bong Mieu project area for primary gold deposits. The majority of gold deposits and prospects on the property lie within the core and on both limbs of the Bong Mieu anticline. Mineralization at all locations, except that at Ho Ray, occurs within shears that host quartz+sulphide veins, brecciated quartz+sulphide+schist and/or sulphide bearing schist. The Ho Ray mineralization occurs within calc-silicate lithologies and underlying quartzite, biotite schist and gneiss. The mineralization has an apparent stratabound distribution. The most significant mineral occurrences on the property are the Ho Gan, Ho Ray and Nui Kem. Resource and reserve estimates for these deposits are summarized as following:

Ho Gan (Bong Mieu Central)

Gold mineralization is located within several closely stacked shallow dipping shears that host quartz+sulphide veins, brecciated quartz+sulphide+schist, and/or sulphide bearing schist (occasionally oxidized and carrying limonite/goethite). Some shears have demonstrated lateral extent to some 2 km. The most common sulphide is pyrite. Galena and arsenopyrite also occur.

Much of the deposit outcrops or occurs shallowly beneath the surface and varies in thickness, with a maximum thickness of 11.6 m.

Table of Contents

Ho Ray and Thac Trang (Bong Mieu East)

The Ho Ray and Thac Trang gold (plus minor sulphide) mineralization occurs within calc-silicate rocks.

The gold is often associated tungsten mineralization which occurs as scheelite.

Nui Kem (Bong Mieu Underground)

Gold mineralization is hosted by quartz+sulphide veins that occupy shears in the underlying quartz+feldspar+biotite schist and gneiss. They have been exploited over a strike length of some 2 km and down dip for at least 350 m. The common sulphide minerals are pyrite, galena, sphalerite, lesser pyrrhotite and. The veins vary in thickness up to 2.2 m and average 1.0 m.

The Bong Mieu property hosts five other gold occurrences that warrant additional exploration to determine economic viability. These occurrences are located in Bong Mieu area and have significant exploration potential that could result in development.

(f) Resource and Reserve Estimates

The mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates contained in this registration statement have been prepared in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (‘‘NI 43-101’’). These standards are similar to those used by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (‘‘SEC’’) Industry Guide No. 7. However, the definitions in NI 43-101 differ in certain respects from those under Industry Guide No. 7. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies. Under the requirements of the SEC, mineralization may not be classified as a ‘‘reserve’’ unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. None of the Company's mineral reserves as determined under NI 43-101 would qualify as mineral reserves under Industry Guide No. 7.

Unless indicated otherwise, all references herein are to Canadian dollars. Please refer to ‘‘Item 3: Key Information’’ for exchange rate information on the Canadian dollar.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Reference is made to Note 14 of the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 and note 13 to the interim financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 for a discussion of the material differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles, and their effect on the Company’s annual audited and interim unaudited financial statements, respectively. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed in ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in this Registration Statement.

Overview

Olympus is an international mineral exploration and development company engaged in the business of acquiring and developing mineral properties in Southeast Asia. The Company’s long-term strategy is to position itself as a significant gold producer in Southeast Asia. The Company currently owns interests in two gold properties in Vietnam, which are referred to in this application as the Phuoc Son gold property and the Bong Mieu gold property. The Company has also submitted applications to acquire interests in several other properties in Vietnam and Laos.

The Ho Gan plant at the Bong Mieu gold property is in the final stages of being commissioned with commercial production expected in the fourth quarter of 2006. TheCompany poured its first 3.6 kg doré bar on February 15, 2006 and the Company is continuing its exploration programs at Bong Mieu. As at June 30, 2006 Olympus has completed 44 drill holes totalling approximately 2,390 metres. Metallurgical test-work on representative Bong Mieu East resource estimates are expected before year-end 2006.

At the Company’s Phuoc Son gold property, on January 25, 2006, the Company secured a mining license in respect of the Bai Dat and Bai Go deposits (the ‘‘Dak Sa Underground’’). Additional metallurgical testing is underway to optimize the recoveries and to enable the final selection of the process equipment. The Company has received approval of its Environmental Impact Assessment Study. The Company expects to place the Dak Sa Underground into production, subject to obtaining the necessary financing. The Dak Sa mine construction is estimated to cost approximately $26 million with the funding for this project to be financed by a combination of debt and equity. During second quarter 2006, ongoingexploration activities resulted in additional positive drill results at Phuoc Son. The continued drilling at the North Deposit returned results nearly doubling the strike length of the North Deposit and confirming that the deposit remains open to the north and south.


5A.	Operating Results

Bong Mieu Gold Property

Olympus has made significant progress during the last year having completed construction of its gold processing plant at Bong Mieu Central (‘‘BM Central’’) where the first 3.65 kilogram gold dore bar was poured on February 15, 2006. The plant was built on budget at US$4.5 million but the start up was slightly delayed due to the typical annual heavy rain falls (‘‘monsoon’’) from May to October. The plant is currently operating with a throughput of about 500 tonnes per day (‘‘tpd’’) with intentions to increase to 800 tpd by mid-2007. On November 1, 2005, Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company entered

Table of Contents

into a refining contract with Argor-Heraeus SA (‘‘Argor’’) whereby Bong Mieu delivers dore bars which contain gold and silver to Argor’s delivery point at which point the risks of ownership pass to Argor. Argor purchases the gold and silver from Bong Mieu at an amount equal to the value of the gold and silver shipment less any refining and transport charges. The value of the gold and silver is determined by a number of factors such as the market price of gold and silver and assuming a specified return rate on gold and silver equal to 99.95% and 98%, respectively. The price of gold used in the calculation is equal to the London Bullion market AM-fixing in US dollars per troy ounce and the price of silver used is equal to the silver-fixing of the London Bullion market in US dollars per troy ounce. The contract is valid from November 1, 2005 until October 31, 2007, with an option to extend the contract if agreed upon by both parties.

At Bong Mieu Underground (‘‘BM Underground’’), an underground deposit mined in the 1940s, the Company has rehabilitated some 500 meters of previous workings since October 2005 and has built a stockpile of 60 tonnes of ore grading on average three grams per tonne during the process. Subject to further metallurgical testing, the Company believes that higher gold grade ore from the BM Underground could be processed at the current plant at a rate of approximately 200 tonnes per day and will result in increased cash flows. BM Underground is fully permitted to mine and is located within one kilometre of the BM Central plant. In early 2005, drilling at BM Underground confirmed the extension of the main structure.

Elsewhere on the property, surface prospecting and trenching have new areas of prospective alteration and mineralisation on the property which will be further evaluated and tested by drilling during 2006.

Phuoc Son Gold Property

On January 25, 2006, the Company received approval of its Mining Licence for the Dak Sa Underground deposits located on the Phuoc Son property. The Dak Sa Underground is now fully permitted and the Company expects to complete an inhouse feasibility study by the end of November 2006. The purpose of the in-house feasibility study is to ascertain the costs associated with the construction and operation of a mine to process the ore, determine the process that will maximize gold recovery and assess the financial viability of such a project. The feasibility study will be carried out to a standard that would permit a positive independent review for the purposes of acquiring project financing. Once the preliminary feasibility study is completed indicating economic viability and all required licenses are obtained, the construction of the mine and production should follow within 18 to 24 months.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Periods Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three and Six Months Periods Ended June 30, 2005

Results of Operation: Summary of Quarterly Results

The Bong Mieu plant does not have significant revenues or cash flows from operations as the plant is not expected to reach commercial production until fourth quarter 2006. The Company has produced and sold 616 ounces in the first half of 2006. The related revenues of $404,000 have been netted against deferred development costs.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s total operating expenses were $797,150 representing an increase of $281,618 compared to $515,532 for the same period a year earlier. The difference is principally due to: a non-cash increase of $82,400 in stock-based compensation related to the grant of options which vested during the year; $66,060 in management fees and salaries mainly related to the staffing increases; $38,921 of increased investor relations and promotion activity; and $78,485 of professional fees related to audit, legal and tax work.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s total operating expenses were $1,719,111, representing an increase of $759,550 from $959,561 for the same period a year earlier. The difference is principally due to: a non-cash increase of $226,599 in stock-based compensation related to the grant of options which vested during the year; $145,035 in regulatory fees for the TSX listing,

Table of Contents

$163,095 in management fees and salaries mainly related to the staffing increases; $38,677 in travel expenses related to increased executive travel and the temporary relocation costs of our CEO to Toronto; $73,987 of increased investor relations and promotion activity; and $74,122 of professional fees related to audit, legal and tax work.

Other items for the three and six-month period ended contributed to income in 2006 and expense in 2005 as a result of foreign exchange gains (losses) and interest income fluctuations. Foreign exchange gains of $21,961 were experienced in 2006 in comparison to foreign exchange losses of $471,243 in 2005 as a result of the favourable exchange rates that occurred between Canada and United States in 2006. Interest income increased by $89,862 to $91,682 in Q2 2006 when compared to Q2 2005 and by $86,055 to $93,846 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, when compared to the 2005 same period, as the average invested cash balance was significantly higher than 2005 as a result of a private placement in March 2006.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004

As at December 31, 2005, the Company had not begun production on any of its properties and does not have revenues or cash flows from operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s total operating expenses of $3,063,799 were higher than in 2004 ($2,083,370). The difference is principally due to a non-cash increase of $780,000 in stock-based compensation related to the grant of options which vested during the year. Management fees also increased by $138,000 due to the addition of one officer and to another position becoming full time. Consulting fees increased $81,000 over the previous year in relation to an agreement with a previous officer of the Company.

Other items such as interest income decreased by $8,700 compared to 2004 as the average invested cash balance was lower during 2005.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2003

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company’s total operating expenses were $2,083,370 compared to $1,414,199 in 2003. The major components of this increase are as follows: management fees and salaries and stock-based compensation increased by $296,094 and $147,824, respectively, as senior officers were added to the management team. Travel has also increased $211,536 as a result of more frequent visits to the properties by the senior staff and travel related to investor relations efforts. The above variations are reflective of the increased level of activity of the Company.

As the Company has no production the only revenue the Company receives is interest revenue and miscellaneous income. Other items such as interest income increased by $12,766 compared to 2003 as the average invested cash balance was higher. The Company has recorded an $18,000 gain in 2004 from the sale of marketable securities. Also in 2004, $20,632 related to applications for mineral properties in countries other than Vietnam have been expensed.


5B.	Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company receives cash for use in exploration, development and future operations mainly from the issuance of common shares, debt financing, exercise of warrants/stock options, investment income generated by its cash position, gold sales and the occasional sale of selected assets.

As at June 30, 2006, the cash and cash equivalents’ balance is $11,543,466 compared to $1,191,582 as at June 30, 2005. The increase was mainly due to a $15,660,000 private placement closed on March 31, 2006 where the Company issued 27,000,000 shares at $0.58. The net proceeds are being directed mainly to exploration activities in Southeast Asia, the rehabilitation of the Bong Mieu Underground, early stage development of the Dak Sa deposits at Phuoc Son and for general corporate purposes. In February 2006, the Company also entered into a US$2.0 million loan facility (the ‘‘Facility’’) with Macquarie Bank Limited (‘‘MBL’’) of Sydney, Australia. The Company drew down the US$2.0 million in the first quarter. The Facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% and is

Table of Contents

repayable on July 31, 2007 (amended from June 30, 2007) but may be extended to June 30, 2008 at the option of MBL. In consideration for setting up the facility, MBL was paid a US$50,000 fee and was granted 5,376,092 purchase warrants to acquire the same number of common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.4347 until July 31, 2007 and $0.4514 until June 30, 2008, if the loan is extended. The Company can also accelerate exercise of the warrants if its common shares trade at a 100% premium to the exercise price for 30 consecutive trading sessions.

During the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2006, Olympus invested $2,411,740 and $3,854,179, respectively, in exploration and development expenses and $352,748 and $447,295, respectively, in acquisitions of capital assets.

The Company received its mining permit at Phuoc Son on January 25, 2006. The Company is evaluating project funding for Phuoc Son to determine whether it will be raised either through equity or debt financing. Although the Company has been successful in accessing the equity markets in the past, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be available. The ability of the Company to continue operations beyond 2006 is dependent upon obtaining the necessary funding to continue its exploration programs or the realization of proceeds from the sale of one or more of its properties and/or assets, of which there can be no assurance. The estimated amount to fund future exploration programs is approximately $8 to $10 million dollars; however, the Company’s capital requirements in the future are largely dependent on the success of the exploration activities.


5C.	Research and development, patents and licenses, etc

The Company holds an Investment Licence and a Mining Licence covering 30 square km within the Bong Mieu Gold Property area. The Investment Licence area contains three deposits: Bong Mieu Central and Bong Mieu East (open-pit deposits) and Bong Mieu Underground. The Exploration Licence renewal application for the portion of the property not covered by the Mining Licence has been submitted and is being reviewed by the Vietnamese authorities.

On January 25, 2006, the Company received the granting of a Mining Licence by the Government of Vietnam to mine and develop its high-grade Dak Sa deposits within the Phuoc Son Gold property area. The Company is the process of obtaining two additional licenses, the construction license and the import license for mining equipment.

Although the Act does not specifically impose any restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of shares, under the Act a corporation cannot repurchase its shares or declare dividends if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (a) the corporation is, or after payment would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or (b) after the payment, the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would be less than the aggregate of (i) its liabilities and (ii) its stated capital of all classes of its securities. Generally, stated capital is the amount paid on the issuance of a share.

Articles and By-laws

The following presents a description of certain terms and provisions of the Company’s articles and by-laws.

General

The Company was incorporated in the Province of Ontario on July 4, 1951 under the name of Meta Uranium Mines Limited.

The name was then changed to Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. on November 29, 1996 and the Company was continued from B.C. into the Yukon under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon) on November 17, 1997 under No. 26213. The Company was continued from the Yukon into a Canadian Business Corporation under the Canadian Business Corporations Act (CBCA) on July 13, 2006 under Certificate of Continuance Number 659785-8.

The Company’s corporate objectives and purpose are unrestricted.

Directors

Pursuant to section 3.12 of the by-laws of the Company (the ‘‘By-Laws’’) and section 120(1) of the Canada Business Corporation Act (the ‘‘CBCA’’), a director or an officer of the Company shall disclose to the Company, in writing or by requesting to have it entered in the directors’ meeting minutes or the directors’ committee meeting minutes, the nature and extent of any interest that he or she has in a material contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, with the Company, if the director or officer: (a) is a party to the contract or transaction; (b) is a director or an officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a party to the contract or transaction; or (c) has a material interest in a party to the contract or transaction. Section 3.12 of the By-Laws also provides that such a director or officer shall not vote on any resolution to approve such a contract or transaction except as provided under the CBCA. Section 120(5) of the CBCA permits sucha director to vote on any resolution to approve a contract or transaction if it: (a) relates primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or an affiliate; (b) is to indemnify or insure a current or former director or officer, or another individual who acts or has acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity; or (c) is with an affiliate.

If a quorum of directors is present, the directors are entitled to vote compensation to themselves. Section 125 of the CBCA provides that subject to the By-Laws, the articles or a unanimous shareholder agreement, the directors may fix the remuneration of directors, officers and employees of the Company. Section 3.13 of the By-Laws provides that the directors shall be paid such remuneration for their services as the board of directors may from time to time determine.

Table of Contents

Section 189 of the CBCA provides that unless the By-Laws, the articles or a unanimous shareholder agreement provide otherwise, the directors may, without authorization of the shareholders: (a) borrow money on the credit of the Company; (b) issue, reissue, sell or pledge debt obligations of the Company; (c) give a guarantee on behalf of the Company to secure the performance of an obligation of any person; and (d) mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest in all or any property of the Company, owned or subsequently acquired, to secure any obligation of the Company.

There are no provisions in the By-Laws or the CBCA relating to the retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement. Pursuant to section 105(2) of the CBCA, a director need not be a shareholder. Pursuant to section 3.3 of the By-Laws and section 105(3) of the CBCA, at least twenty-five per cent of the directors of the Company must be resident Canadians. However, if the Company has less than four directors, at least one director must be a resident Canadian. Section 102(2) of the CBCA requires that the Company shall have no fewer than three directors, at least two of whom are not officers or employees of the Company or of any of the Company's affiliates.

Annual and special meetings

The annual meeting and special meetings of shareholders are held at such time and place as the board of directors shall determine. Notice of meetings is sent out to shareholders not less than 10 days nor more than 50 days before the date of such meeting. All shareholders at the record date are entitled to notice of the meeting and have the right to attend the meeting. The directors do not stand for reelection at staggered intervals.

There are no provisions in either the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company or its subsidiary. There are no by-law provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

10D.	Exchange Controls

There are no laws, governmental decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital or which affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our shares, other than the withholding tax requirements (Reference is made to Item 10E) and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. The Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act requires that persons and entities report the importation or exportation of currency or monetary instruments of a value equal to or greater than $10,000 to Canadian customers officers in the prescribed form and manner.

There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or the Province of Ontario, or in our constituting documents, with respect to the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote Shares other than those imposed by the Investment Canada Act.

The Investment Canada Act is a federal Canadian statute which regulates the acquisition of control of existing Canadian businesses and the establishment of new Canadian businesses by an individual, government or entity that is a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ as defined in the Investment Canada Act. Such investments are generally reviewable under the Investment Canada Act by the Minister, designated as being responsible for the administration of the Investment Canada Act. Reviewable investments, generally, may not be implemented prior to the Minister’s determining that the investment is likely to be of ‘‘net benefit to Canada’’ based on the criteria set out in the Investment Canada Act. Generally investments by non-Canadians consisting of the acquisition of control of Canadian businesses which are otherwise non-reviewable and the establishment of new Canadian businesses are subject to certain notification requirements under the Investment Canada Act in the prescribed form and manner.

Management of the Company believes that it is not currently a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ for purposes of the Investment Canada Act and therefore it is not subject to the Act. However, if the Company were to become a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ in the future, acquisitions of control of Canadian businesses by the Company would become subject to the Investment Canada Act. Generally, the direct acquisition by a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ of an existing Canadian business with gross assets of $5 million or more is reviewable under the Investment Canada Act, unless the business is acquired by a WTO investor in which the thresholds are $250 million and $265 million for transactions closing in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Generally, indirect acquisitions of existing Canadian businesses (with gross assets over $50 million) are reviewable under the Investment Canada Act, except in situations involving ‘‘WTO investors’’ where indirect acquisitions are generally not reviewable but are nonetheless subject to notification. In transactions involving Canadian businesses engaged in the production of uranium, providing financial services, providing transportation services or which are cultural businesses, the benefit of the higher ‘‘WTO investor’’ thresholds do not apply.

Acquisitions of businesses related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity (regardless of the value of assets involved) may also be reviewable under the Investment Canada Act. In addition, investments to establish new, unrelated businesses are not generally reviewable but are nonetheless subject to nofication. An investment to establish a new business that is related to the non-Canadian’s existing business in Canada is not subject to notification under the Investment Canada Act unless such investment relates to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity.

Any proposed take-over of the Company by a ‘‘non-Canadian’’ would likely only be subject to the simple notification requirements of the Investment Canada Act, as in all likelihood that non-Canadian would be a ‘‘WTO investor’’ for purposes of the Investment Canada Act provided that the high WTO threshold is not met. Generally, a ‘‘WTO investor’’ is an individual, other than a Canadian, who is a national of a country that is a member of the World Trade Organization or a business entity controlled by such an individual. Virtually all countries of the Western world are members of the World Trade Organization. The Company would have to have a gross asset base of at least $5 million for a direct acquisition, and at least $50 million for an indirect acquisition, before the reviewable transaction provisions of the Investment Canada Act would apply to a third party non-Canadian acquirer that is not a WTO investor.

10E.	Taxation


10E.1.	Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences — General

The following is a brief summary of some of the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences to a holder of the common-voting shares of the Company (a ‘‘ Holder’’) who deals at arm's length with the Company, holds the shares as capital property and who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the ‘‘Act’’) and the Canada — United States Income Tax Convention (the ‘‘Treaty’’), is at all relevant times resident in the United States, is not and is not deemed to be resident in Canada and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the shares in carrying on a Business in Canada. Special rules, which are not discussed below, may apply to a U.S. Holder that is an insurer that carries on Business in Canada and elsewhere.

Under the Act and the Treaty, a. Holder of the common-voting shares will generally be subject to a 15% withholding tax on dividends paid or credited or deemed by the Act to have been paid or credited on such shares. The withholding tax rate is 5% where the Holder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company and the dividends may be exempt from such withholding in the case of some Holders such as qualifying pension funds and charities. Reference is made to ‘‘Item 10E.4 — United States Taxation’’ for a more detailed discussion of the United States tax considerations relating to an investment in the Shares.


10E.2.	Dividends

A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax (‘‘Part XIII Tax’’) equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on common shares. Under the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980) as amended by the Protocols signed on 6/14/1983, 3/28/1984, 3/17/1995, and 7/29/1997 (the ‘‘Treaty’’), the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States and who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, shall not exceed 15%. If the Holder is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company paying the dividend, the withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% and, in all other cases, the tax rate is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (under the provisions of the Canada-US Income Tax Convention). The Company will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver General for Canada for the account of the Holder.


10E.3.	Disposition of Common Shares

A Holder who disposes of a common share, including by deemed disposition on death, will not normally be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain (or capital loss) thereby realized unless the common share constituted ‘‘taxable Canadian property’’ as defined by the Tax Act. Generally, a common share of a public corporation will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder if the share is listed on a prescribed stock exchange unless the Holder or persons with whom the Holder did not deal at arm's length alone or together held or held options to acquire, at any time within the five years preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company. The TSX is a prescribed stock exchange under the Tax Act. A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on a disposition of a common share that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common shares is derived from, or from an interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resource properties, (b) the common share formed part of the Business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 month period preceding the disposition, or (c) the Holder is an individual who (i) was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding the disposition, and for a total of 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years, preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when he ceased to be resident in Canada.

A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on a disposition of a common share must include one-half of the capital gain (taxable capital gain) in computing the

Table of Contents

Holder's taxable income earned in Canada. The Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct one-half of any capital loss (allowable capital loss) arising on a disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition in respect to taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains realized in any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year.


10E.4.	United States Taxation

The following summary is a general discussion of the material United States Federal income tax considerations to US holders of our Shares under current law. It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of our shares is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or Business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not capital assets and any other non-US holders.

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (‘‘IRS’’) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. The following discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of our shares and no opinion or representation with respect to the United States Federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our shares should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal, state, local, estate and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our shares.

US Holders

As used herein, a ‘‘US Holder’’ includes a holder of shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any entity that is taxable as a corporation for US tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of our shares is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or Business in the United States. A US Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of our shares is not effectively connected with conduct or trade or Business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not as capital assets.

Distributions on our Shares

US Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to our shares are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits as defined under US Federal tax law, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the US Holder’s United States Federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the US Holder’s United States Federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions.

Table of Contents

(See more detailed discussion at ‘‘Foreign Tax Credit’’ below). To the extent that distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the US Holder's adjusted basis in the shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the shares. Preferential tax rates for net capital gains are applicable to a US Holder that is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a US Holder that is a corporation.

With effect from January 1, 2003 and ending December 31, 2010, the United States reduced the maximum tax rate on certain qualifying dividend distributions to 15% (tax rate for low income holders is 5% until 2007 and 0% for 2008 and thereafter). In order for dividends paid by foreign corporations to qualify for the reduced rates, (1) the foreign corporation must meet certain requirements, including that it not be classified as a foreign investment company or a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, and (2) the US Holder must meet the required holding period. In order to meet the required holding period, the US Holder must hold our Common Shares for at least 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date.

Dividends paid on our shares will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A US Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from us (unless we qualify as a ‘‘foreign personal holding company’’ or a ‘‘passive foreign investment company’’, as defined below) if such US Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of our voting power and value. The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion.

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into US dollars on the date of receipt, a US Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its US dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally, any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for US dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, for tax years after 1997, an individual whose realized foreign exchange gain does not exceed US $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are not expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirement for deductibility as a trade or Business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a Business trip or as an expense for the production of income).

Foreign Tax Credit

A US Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of our shares may be entitled, at-the option of the US Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the US Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the US Holder’s United States Federal income tax liability that the US Holder's foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as ‘‘passive income’’, ‘‘high withholding tax interest’’, ‘‘financial services income’’, ‘‘shipping income’’, and certain other classifications of income. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of our shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Disposition of our Shares

A US Holder will recognize a gain or loss upon the sale of our shares equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the

Table of Contents

shareholder's tax basis in our shares. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the US Holder, and will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the US Holder. Preferential tax rates for long-term gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder which is a corporation.

Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. Corporate capital losses (other than losses of corporations electing under Subchapter S or the Code) are deductible to the extent of capital gains. Non-corporate taxpayers may deduct net capital losses, whether short-term or long-term, up to US $3,000 a year (US $1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately). For US Holders which are individuals, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For US Holders which are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.

Other Considerations

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of our shares:

Passive Foreign Investment Company

As a foreign corporation with US Holders, we could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (‘‘PFIC’’), as defined in Section 1296 of the Code, if 75% or more of our gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or the average percentage of our assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%. Passive income is generally defined to include gross income in the nature of dividends, interest, royalties, rents and annuities; excess of gains over losses from certain transactions in any commodities not arising inter alia from a PFIC whose Business is actively involved in such commodities; certain foreign currency gains; and other similar types of income. US Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to an additional tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the shares of the PFIC are owned, in addition to treatment of any gain realized on the disposition of shares of the PFIC as ordinary income rather than as a capital gain. However, if the US Holder makes a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund (‘‘QEF’’) with respect to such shareholder's interest therein, the above-described rules generally will not apply. Instead, the electing US Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC's ordinary earnings and any net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed. A US Holder of a QEF can, however, elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income inclusions. Special rules apply to US Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or persons.

The IRS has issued proposed regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing US Holder that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases, the basis of our shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. A US Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed below) will not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. The transferee's basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer. The specific tax effect to the US Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which our shares are transferred. Each US Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.

Table of Contents

Shareholder Election

These adverse tax consequences may be avoided, if the US Holder has elected to treat the PFIC as a qualified electing fund (a ‘‘QEF’’) with respect to that US Holder effective for each of the PFIC's taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, which include any portion of the US Holder’s holding period.

The procedure a US Holder must comply with in making an effective QEF election will depend on whether the year of election is the first year in the US Holder's holding period in which we are a PFIC. If the US Holder makes a QEF election in such first year (i.e. a timely QEF election), then the US Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the US Holder files his tax return for such first year. If, however, we qualified as a PFIC in a prior year and the QEF election was not made by the US Holder, then in addition to filing documents, the US Holder must generally recognize gain as if it had sold the QEF stock on the first day of the taxable year in which the QEF election is made, if (i) the US Holder holds stock in the PFIC on that day, and (ii) the US Holder can establish the fair market value of the PFIC stock on that day. The US Holder will treat that deemed sale transaction as a disposition of PFIC stock and will, thereafter, be subject to the rules described below applicable to US shareholders of a QEF.

In general, US shareholders of a QEF are taxable currently on their pro rata share of the QEF’s ordinary income and net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed. A US Holder of a QEF can, however, elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income inclusions.

Mark to Market Election

Effective for tax years of US Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, US Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a ‘‘mark-to-market election’’). If such an election is made, such US Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable years for which the mark-to-market election is made. A US Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our shares as of the close of such tax year over such US Holder's adjusted basis in such shares. In addition, the US Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such US Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for our shares included by such US Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a US Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) our shares and we are a PFIC (‘‘Non-Electing US Holder’’), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A US Holder's adjusted tax basis in our shares will be increased or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.

The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex. US Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or the total value of our stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock (‘‘United States shareholder’’), we could be treated as a ‘‘controlled foreign corporation’’ under Subpart F of the

Table of Contents

Code. This classification would cause many complex results including the required inclusion by such United States shareholders in income of their pro rata share of our ‘‘Subpart F income’’ (as specially defined by the Code). If we are both a PFIC and controlled foreign corporation, we will generally not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States shareholders of the controlled foreign corporation. This rule generally will be effective for our taxable years ending with or within such taxable years of United States shareholders. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, a gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a US Holder who is or was a United States shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to the stock sold or exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because it is not clear that Subpart F would apply to the US Holders of our shares, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion.


10F.	Dividends and Paying Agents

Holders of Shares are entitled to receive dividends in cash, property or Shares when and if dividends are declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. There are no limitations on the payment of dividends. To date, the Company has never paid any dividends to its shareholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of
Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficits and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board [United States]. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

As described in note 2 to the financial statements, in 2004, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada – U.S. Reporting Difference

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph [following the opinion paragraph] when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the Board of Directors dated April 12, 2006 [except as to note 14, which is as at November 13, 2006] is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events when they are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’ or ‘‘Olympus’’) and its subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and mining of gold bearing properties in Southeast Asia. The Company focuses its activities on two multi-target properties located in Central Vietnam – the Bong Mieu Gold property and Phuoc Son Gold property.

The Company is exploring and developing its current mineral properties. The Company has one gold plant in Vietnam. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred costs are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production. To date, the Company has not earned significant revenues and is considered to be in the development stage.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Certain amounts have been reclassified from statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.

Asset retirement obligations

On January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the new CICA accounting standard for asset retirement obligations. Under this new standard, the Company recognizes the fair value of a future asset retirement obligation as a liability in the year in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. The Company concurrently recognizes a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset. The fair value of the asset retirement obligation is estimated using the expected cash flow approach that reflects a range of possible outcomes discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the asset retirement obligation is adjusted at the end of each year to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. Changes in the obligation due to the passage of time are recognized in income as an operating expense using the interest method. Changes in the obligation due to changes in estimated cash flows are recognized as an adjustment of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that is depreciated over the remaining life of the asset.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand and short-term investments that mature within 90 days from the date of acquisition.

F-5

Table of Contents

Mineral properties

The Company records its interests in mineral properties and areas of geological interest at cost. All direct and indirect costs, comprised of cash paid and/or the assigned value of share consideration, relating to the acquisition of these interests are capitalized on the basis of specific claim blocks or areas of geological interest until the properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold or where management has determined there to be an impairment. The capitalized cost of mineral properties is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if it is determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The net proceeds from the sale of a portion of a mineral property which is sold before that property reaches the production stage will be credited against the cost of the overall property. The sale of a portion of a mineral property which has reached the production stage will result in a gain or loss recorded in the statement of operations.

Mineral properties will be amortized on the basis of units produced in relation to the proven and probable reserves available on the related property following commencement of production. The recorded amount may not reflect recoverable value as this will be dependent on the development program, the nature of the mineral deposit, commodity prices, adequate funding and the ability of the Company to bring its projects into production.

The Company does not accrue the estimated future costs of maintaining its mineral properties in good standing.

Deferred exploration and development costs

The Company defers all exploration and development expenses relating to mineral properties and areas of geological interest until the properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold or where management has determined there to be an impairment. These costs will be amortized over the proven and probable reserves available on the related property following commencement of production.

Foreign currency translation

The monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies, other than the Canadian dollar, are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Exchange gains or losses arising on translation are included in the statement of operations.

Capital assets and depreciation

Capital assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis as follows:


Buildings			25%
Leasehold improvements			25%
Plant and equipment			25%
Office equipment			25% – 33%
Furniture and fixtures			20% – 25%
Motor vehicles			18% – 20%

Stock-based compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for which it is permitted, and in 2003 has elected to use, the intrinsic value-based method, which recognizes compensation cost for awards to employees only when the market price exceeds the exercise price at date of grant, but requires pro-forma disclosure of earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value method had been adopted. Any consideration paid by the option holders to purchase shares, together with the amount of any previously recognized compensation expense, is credited to capital stock.

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the fair-value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors. Under this method, fair value of the stock options is

F-6

Table of Contents

estimated at the grant date and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. The fair-value method of accounting for option grants to employees and directors was adopted retroactively, with prior periods not restated. As a result, the Company recorded an increase in its opening 2004 deficit of $1,109,130 with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. If the change in accounting had been applied on a retroactive basis with restatement of prior periods, the net loss of the year ended 2003 would have increased from $1,350,509 to $1,823,079.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method, the dilutive effect on earnings per share is determined assuming that the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. As there is currently a loss per share, there is no dilutive effect as all outstanding options and warrants proved to be anti-dilutive.

Future income taxes

Future income taxes are recorded using the liability method. Under the liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment or enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION / JOINT VENTURE

During 1997, the Company completed an agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’) with Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (‘‘Ivanhoe’’) and Zedex Minerals Ltd. (‘‘Zedex’’), whereby the Company acquired from Ivanhoe all of the shares of its subsidiary, Formwell, for a total consideration of US$7,500,000. Formwell holds all the shares of Bong Mieu Holdings (‘‘BMH’’), a Thai company, which in turn holds 80% of Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company (‘‘Bogomin’’). Bogomin, together with other local and national branches of the government of Vietnam, holds the 30 square kilometre Bong Mieu Gold property in the Quang Nam Province of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (‘‘Vietnam’’). Also pursuant to the Agreement, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Ivanhoe and Zedex, whereby the Company also acquired a 57.18% interest in New Vietnam Mining Corporation (‘‘NVMC’’).

On October 28, 2003, the Company announced that an Investment License (the ‘‘Licence’’) with an initial term of 30 years was granted with respect to the Phuoc Son Project. In accordance with the provisions under which the Licence was obtained, NVMC has entered into a strategic alliance with Mien Trung Industrial Company (‘‘Minco’’), a mining company controlled by the local provincial government, to form the Phuoc Son Gold Company (‘‘PSGC’’).

On June 29, 2004, after receiving regulatory and shareholders’ approval, the Company closed a ‘‘Vend-In Agreement’’, whereby it acquired the remaining 42.82% interest in the NVMC joint venture. The consideration for the acquisition was the issuance of 13,483,133 common shares of the Company: Zedex receiving 3,205,467 shares and Ivanhoe 10,277,646 shares. As indicated in the Vend-In Agreement, any exploration contributions made by Zedex or Ivanhoe since November 2002 to the date of closing would be reimbursed by the Company. As a result, the Company increased the advance contribution repayable to Ivanhoe by US$428,100 and by US$126,645 for Zedex. The outstanding balance due to Zedex was settled in the third quarter of 2004. Following the Vend-In Agreement, the advance exploration contributions (the ‘‘Prepaid

F-7

Table of Contents

Contribution’’) due to Ivanhoe were adjusted to US$1,024,226, such amount not becoming payable until January 5, 2006, at which time it shall be repaid in cash unless such payment would reduce the Company’s working capital to less than US$1,000,000, in which case the Company shall settle by issuing Ivanhoe common shares in the capital of the Company having an aggregate market value equal to such remaining amount, determined on the basis of the average closing prices of the Company’s shares over the preceding 20 trading days. The Company owns 100% of NVMC and recorded the accounting difference from the transaction as an addition to mineral properties.

Pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated January 1, 2006, the Prepaid Contribution of US$1,024,226 due to Ivanhoe was assigned to Zedex. On March 21, 2006, the Company issued 3,406,758 common shares to Zedex in full payment of the Prepaid Contribution according to the Vend-In Agreement provision for repayment of the Prepaid Contribution via issuance of common shares.

Bong Mieu Gold Property

The property covers 30 square kilometres and holds Mining and Investment Licenses. The Company owns 80% of the property via a joint venture named Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company (‘‘Bogomin’’). The other 20% is shared equally by Minco and Mideco, a provincial and central government agency respectively. Minco and Mideco can increase their interest in the property in percentage not exceeding 10% per three year interval to a maximum of 50% but only 5 years after the invested capital by the Company has been repaid. The property is subject to a three percent net smelter royalty (‘‘NSR’’) to the Vietnamese government as well as a two percent NSR to Zedex (see note 13 – Subsequent events). Olympus acquired this property in 1997 and commenced fieldwork on the property in the second half of 2003. The Investment License area contains three deposits: Bong Mieu Central and Bong Mieu East (open-pit deposits) and Bong Mieu Underground. The Exploration Licence renewal application for the portion of the property not covered by the Mining Licence has been submitted and is being reviewed by the Vietnamese authorities.

In December 2005, the Company finalised the assembly of the plant at Bong Mieu Central and started the commissioning process. The plant is expected to reach commercial production levels by the fourth quarter of 2006.

Phuoc Son Gold Property

On October 28, 2003, the Company announced that an Investment License (the ‘‘License’’) with an initial term of 30 years was granted with respect to the Phuoc Son property. The Exploration Licence application has been submitted and is being reviewed by the Vietnamese authorities. This property is subject to a three percent NSR to the Vietnamese government. In accordance with the provisions under which the License was obtained, NVMC has entered into a strategic alliance with Mien Trung Industrial Company (‘‘Minco’’), a mining company controlled by the local provincial government, to form the Phuoc Son Gold Company (‘‘PSGC’’). NVMC’s initial interest in the PSGC is 85% and Minco has a 15% interest. After 5 years, from the end of the period in which PSGC makes profits for 12 consecutive months, Minco can increase its interest by 15% to 30% if Minco chooses to acquire such interest from NVMC by paying fair market value. After 20 years, Minco can increase its interest to a total of 50% if Minco chooses to acquire such additional 20% interest from NVMC by paying fair market value.

Such estimated costs have been discounted using a risk free rate of 7.5%.

Following the Vend-In Agreement, the advance exploration contributions (‘‘the Prepaid Contribution’’) due to Ivanhoe as at December 31, 2005, was adjusted to US$1,024,226 (C$1,191,175) and represents the balance due to Ivanhoe as at November 30, 2002. The amount was repayable on January 5, 2006 at which time it would be repaid in cash unless such payment would reduce the Company’s working capital to less than US$1,000,000, in which case the Company shall settle by issuing Ivanhoe common shares in the capital of the Company having an aggregate market value equal to such remaining amount, determined on the basis of the average closing prices of the Company’s shares over the preceding 20 trading days.

During the year period ended December 2005, 8,420,000 options were granted and were valued at $1,306,520. The total stock-based compensation expense recognized during the year for stock options granted in the current and prior years but vesting during 2005 was $961,075 using the fair value method and was credited to contributed surplus. Compensation cost for 2005 has been calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: fair value of options granted of $0.155 (2004 – $0.21), expected life of options of 3 years (2004 − 3 years), expected stock price volatility of 78.7% (2004 − 78.7%), expected dividend yield of 0% (2004 − 0%) and risk free interest rate of 2.98% (2004 −3.45%).

In 2003, the Company has elected to measure compensation costs using the intrinsic value-based method for employee stock options. Had the compensation costs been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, additional compensation expense would have been recorded in the statement of operations of the period, with pro-forma results as presented below.

In 2003, the weighted average assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are expected life options of 3 years, expected stock price volatility of 109.29% and risk-free interest rate of 3.56%.

Had compensation costs for employees been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, loss and loss per share would have been adjusted as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,2003
Loss for the year
As reported		$	(1,350,509	)
Compensation Expense		$	(472,570	)
Pro-forma loss for the year		$	(1,823,079	)
Pro-forma basic and diluted per share		$	(0.03	)

The Company granted 100,000 stock options during 2003 to third party consultants. Accordingly, the stock-based compensation recognized as a credit to contributed surplus, based on the Black Scholes option pricing model, was $32,940.


	c)	Warrants

The following is a summary of the warrants outstanding as at December 31, 2005.

The Company has available for deduction against future taxable income non-capital losses of approximately $5,815,000 (2004 − $5,021,000, 2003 – $5,700,000). These losses, if not utilized, will expire through 2012. Subject to certain restrictions, the Company also has resource expenditures available to reduce taxable income in future years. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these non-capital losses and resource deductions have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements.


11.	LEASE COMMITMENT

The Company is committed to minimum annual rents under a lease, which expires on December 31, 2007. As at December 31, 2005, future minimum annual rental payments are $56,300 for each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.


12.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and equivalents, receivables, amounts due from or to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advance exploration contributions.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.


	a)	Currency risk

The Company is exposed to financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk, primarily with respect to the US dollar. The Company has a number of investments in foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures, whose net assets are exposed to currency translation risk.

A significant amount of the transactions with respect to Bogomin and Phuoc Son Gold are denominated in the Vietnamese Dong, which is not freely convertible into foreign currency, and there are restrictions on the removal of capital from the country. These restrictions may have an adverse impact on the Company's ability to repatriate funds from Vietnam.


13.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 1, 2005, the Prepaid Contribution of US$1,024,226 due to Ivanhoe was assigned to Zedex. On March 21, 2006, the Company issued 3,406,758 common shares to Zedex in full payment of the Prepaid Contribution according to the Vend-In Agreement provision for repayment of the Prepaid Contribution via issuance of common shares.

On January 12, 2006, the 1,270,000 warrants exercisable at $0.40 issued to Dragon Capital in relation to the private placement of January 12, 2005 were exercised in full.

On February 8, 2006, the Company entered into a US$2.0 million loan facility agreement (the ‘‘Facility’’) with Macquarie Bank Limited (‘‘MBL’’) of Sydney, Australia. The Facility is available to the Company until June 30, 2006 and bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. The Facility is repayable on June 30, 2007 but might be extended to June 30, 2008 at the option of MBL. In consideration for setting up the facility, MBL was paid a US$50,000 fee and was granted 5,376,092 purchase warrants to acquire the same number of common shares of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.4347 until June 30, 2007 and C$0.4514 until June 30, 2008, if the loan is extended. The Company can also force conversion of the warrants if its common shares trade at a 100% premium to the exercise price for 30 consecutives trading sessions.

On March 31, 2006, the Company completed a brokered private placement of $15,660,000. The Company issued 27,000,000 common shares at $0.58 per share. Agents for the Offering were paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds and were issued compensation warrants equal to 7% of the aggregate number of common shares issued in the offering, payable on closing. Each compensation warrant will be exercisable for one common share at $0.58 for a period of two years following closing.


14.	DIFFERENCES FROM UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. A reconciliation of our income statement, balance sheet and statements of cash flows between US GAAP and Canadian GAAP is presented below together with a description of the significant measurement differences affecting these financial statements.


	a)	Exploration and development expenditures

For Canadian GAAP purposes, the Company capitalizes exploration and development costs incurred on our properties after proven and probable reserves have been found as well as on properties where the Company has found non-reserve material that does not meet all the criteria required for classification as proven or probable reserves. The determination as to whether the existence of non-reserve material should result in the capitalization of mine exploration and development costs is based on various factors, including: the existence and nature of known mineralization; the location of the property (for example, whether the presence of existing mines and ore bodies in the immediate vicinity increases the likelihood of development of a mine on the property); the results of recent drilling on the property; and the existence of a pre-feasibility or feasibility study or other analysis to demonstrate that mineralization is expected to be commercially recoverable. Under US GAAP, exploration and development expenditures incurred on properties where mineralization has not been classified as a proven and probable reserve under Securities Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) Industry Guide No.7 are expensed as incurred. Accordingly, certain expenditures are capitalized for Canadian GAAP purposes but expensed under US GAAP.

	e)	US GAAP Recent Developments

i) In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, ‘‘The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments’’. This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 is applicable to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this FSP did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

ii) In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, ‘‘Inventory Costs’’ (‘‘SFAS 151’’). SFAS 151 requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) be recognized as current period charges rather than capitalized as a component of inventory costs. In addition, SFAS 151 requires allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The guidance should be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

iii) In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payments’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. SFAS 123R also modifies certain measurement and expense recognition provisions of SFAS 123, that will impact the Company, including the requirement to estimate employee forfeitures each period when recognizing compensation expense, and requiring that the initial and subsequent measurement of the cost of liability-based awards each period be based on the fair value (instead of the intrinsic value) of the award. This statement is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2006. The Company has been expensing stock-based compensation using the fair value method since adoption of this method on a retroactive basis without restatement on January 1, 2004 for Canadian GAAP, which is similar to SFAS 123 adoption. The adoption of SFAS 123R will reduce calculated compensation expense under US GAAP as a result of estimating a forfeiture rate and applying that to the compensation expense as opposed to recording forfeitures as they occur. Effective January 1, 2006 under Canadian GAAP, we are applying the same method of measuring and accounting for forfeitures as used under SFAS 123R.

iv) FASB approved EITF Issue No. 04-6, ‘‘Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry’’ (‘‘EITF 04-6’’) in the second quarter of 2005. Under EITF 04-6, stripping costs incurred each period during the production phase are recorded as a component of the cost of inventory produced each period. EITF 04-6 is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this policy to have an impact as the Company does not capitalize stripping costs when in production stage unless it relates to major pit expansions that results in increasing the proven and probable reserves.

v) The FASB issued SFAS No. 153, ‘‘Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion 29’’. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this Statement did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

F-16

Table of Contents

vi) In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, ‘‘Accounting Changes and Error Corrections’’ (‘‘SFAS 154’’), which relates to the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principles and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles. The reporting of corrections of an error by restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed by this statement. SFAS 154 applies to pronouncements in the event they do not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. SFAS 154 requires retroactive application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless the period specific effects or cumulative effects of an accounting change are impracticable to determine, in which case the new accounting principle is required to be applied to the assets and liabilities as of the earliest period practicable, with a corresponding adjustment made to opening retained earnings.

Prior to SFAS 154, most accounting changes were recorded effective at the beginning of the year of change, with the cumulative effect at the beginning of the year of change recorded as a charge or credit to earnings in the period a change was adopted. SFAS 154 will be effective on accounting changes and corrections of errors beginning in 2006. SFAS does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in the transition phase as of the effective date of SFAS 154.

OLYMPUS PACIFIC MINERALS INC.
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2006
All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated

1. Nature of Operations

The Company is exploring and developing its mineral properties. The Company has one gold plant in Vietnam. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred costs are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production. To date, the Company has not earned significant revenues from its production and is considered to be in the development stage.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation and consolidation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Estimates

Cash and equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand and short-term investments that mature within 90 days from the date of acquisition.

Mineral properties

The Company records its interests in mineral properties and areas of geological interest at cost. All direct and indirect costs, comprised of cash paid and/or the assigned value of share consideration, relating to the acquisition of these interests are capitalized on the basis of specific claim blocks or areas of geological interest until the properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold or where management has determined an impairment. The capitalized cost of mineral properties is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if it is determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The net proceeds from the sale of a mineral property which is sold before that property reaches the production stage will be credited against the cost of the overall property. The sale of a portion of a mineral property which has reached the production stage will result in a gain or loss recorded in the statement of operations.

Mineral properties will be amortized on the basis of units produced in relation to the proven and probable reserves available on the related property following commencement of production. The

F-21

Table of Contents

recorded amount may not reflect recoverable value as this will be dependent on the development program, the nature of the mineral deposit, commodity prices, adequate funding and the ability of the Company to bring its projects into production.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company recognizes the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period of disturbance or acquisition associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. The Company concurrently recognizes a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset. The fair value of the asset retirement obligation is estimated using the expected cash flow approach that reflects a range of possible outcomes discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the asset retirement obligation is adjusted to reflect the passage of time or changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. Changes in the obligation due to the passage of time are recognized in income as an operating expense using the interest method. Changes in the obligation due to changes in estimated cash flows are recognized as an adjustment of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that is depreciated over the remaining life of the asset.

Deferred exploration and development costs

The Company defers all exploration and development expenses relating to mineral properties and areas of geological interest until the properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold or where management has determined an impairment. These costs will be amortized over the proven and probable reserves available on the related property following commencement of production.

Foreign currency translation

The monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies, other than the Canadian dollar, are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in the statement of operations.

Capital assets and depreciation

Capital assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis as follows:


Buildings			25%
Leasehold improvements			25%
Plant and equipment			25%
Office equipment			25% – 33%
Furniture and fixtures			20% – 25%
Motor vehicles			20%

Stock-based compensation

The Company uses the fair-value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors. Under this method, fair value of the stock options is estimated at the grant date and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method, the dilutive effect on earnings per share is determined

F-22

Table of Contents

assuming that the proceeds to be received on exercise would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. As there is currently a loss per share, there is no dilutive effect as all outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive.

Future income taxes

Total		$	10,060,904		$	10,060,904		$	16,945,897		$	13,089,242

Bong Mieu Gold Property

The property is located in Central Vietnam and covers 30 square kilometres. The Company holds an Investment Licence and a Mining Licence. The Company owns 80% of the property via a joint venture named Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company (‘‘Bogomin’’). The other 20% is shared equally by Minco and Mideco, central and local government agencies, respectively. Minco and Mideco can increase their ownership in the joint venture in increments not exceeding 10% per three year interval to a maximum of 50% but only 5 years after the invested capital by the Company has been repaid. The property is subject to a three percent net smelter royalty (‘‘NSR’’) to the Vietnamese government as well as a two percent NSR to Zedex. The Investment Licence area contains three deposits: Bong Mieu Central and Bong Mieu East (open-pit deposits) and Bong Mieu Underground. The Exploration Licence renewal application has been submitted and is being reviewed by the Vietnamese authorities.

In December 2005, the Company finalized the assembly of the plant at Bong Mieu and started the commissioning process. The plant is expected to reach commercial production levels by the fourth quarter of 2006.

Phuoc Son Gold Property

On January 25, 2006, a Mining Licence was granted in relation to the Dak Sa Underground deposit at Phuoc Son which followed the December 2004 approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (‘‘EIA’’) by the Ministry of Resources and Environment for Vietnam. On October 28, 2003, the Company announced that an Investment Licence (the ‘‘Licence’’) with an initial term of 30 years was granted with respect to the Phuoc Son property. The Exploration Licence application has been submitted and is being reviewed by the Vietnamese authorities. This property is subject to a three percent NSR to the Vietnamese government. The Company owns 85% of the property via a joint venture named Phuoc Son Gold Mining Company (‘‘PSGC’’) and Mien Trung Industrial Company (‘‘Minco’’), a mining company controlled by the local provincial government, holds the remaining 15%. After 5 years, from the end of the period in which PSGC makes profits for 12 consecutive months, Minco can increase its interest by 15% to 30% if Minco chooses to acquire such interest by paying fair market value. After 20 years, Minco can increase its interest to a total of 50% if Minco chooses to acquire such additional 20% interest by paying fair market value.

On May 18, 2005, the Company announced the completion of an independent preliminary assessment study prepared by Micon International Ltd. in regard to the Dak Sa underground deposit.

4. Asset Retirement Obligation


	June 30, 2006				December 31, 2005
Balance, beginning of the year		$	382,509			$	—
Foreign exchange adjustment			(15,392	)
Change in liability			—				382,509
Balance, end of the period			367,117				382,509
Current portion			29,830				31,081
Non-current portion			337,287				351,428

The asset retirement obligation relates to the Bong Mieu property, plant and infrastructure in Vietnam. The Company estimated the cost of rehabilitating the site at US$441,400 over 4.5 years after mining activities are terminated. Such estimated costs have been discounted using a risk-free rate of 7.5%.

5. Loan Facility

On February 8, 2006, the Company entered into a US$2.0 million loan facility agreement (the ‘‘Facility’’) with Macquarie Bank Limited (‘‘MBL’’) of Sydney, Australia. The Facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. The Facility was initially repayable on June 30, 2007 but was amended to be repayable on July 31, 2007 and might be further extended to June 30, 2008 at the option of MBL. In consideration for setting up the facility, MBL was paid a US$50,000 fee and was granted 5,376,092 purchase warrants to acquire the same number of common shares of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.4347 until June 30, 2007 and C$0.4514 until June 30, 2008, if the loan is extended. The Company can also accelerate exercise of the warrants if its common shares trade at a 100% premium to the exercise price for 30 consecutive trading sessions.

6. Advance Exploration Contributions

The advance exploration contributions (the ‘‘Prepaid Contribution’’) due to Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. as at December 31, 2005, was adjusted to US$1,024,226 (C$1,191,175) and represents the balance due to Ivanhoe as at November 30, 2002. The amount was repayable on January 5, 2006 at which time it would be repaid in cash unless such payment would reduce the Company’s working capital to less than US$1,000,000, in which case the Company shall settle by issuing Ivanhoe common shares in the capital of the Company having an aggregate market value equal to such remaining amount, determined on the basis of the average closing prices of the Company’s shares over the preceding 20 trading days.

Pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated January 1, 2006, the Prepaid Contribution of US$1,024,226 due to Ivanhoe was assigned to Zedex Minerals Limited (‘‘Zedex’’), a shareholder of the Company. On March 21, 2006, the Company issued 3,406,758 common shares to Zedex in full payment of the Prepaid Contribution.

These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange value which represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

10. Commitments

The Company has entered into contractual commitments of approximately $2 million at Phuoc Son, mainly related to access road construction and mining equipment leases, and approximately $1.5 million at Bong Mieu, mainly related to road and housing construction, electricity supply arrangements and mining equipment leases. These commitments will be paid over the next twelve months.

11. Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

Currency risk

A certain amount of the transactions with respect to Bogomin and Phuoc Son Gold are denominated in the Vietnamese Dong, which is not freely convertible into foreign currency, and there are restrictions on the removal of capital from the country. These restrictions may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to repatriate funds from Vietnam.

13. Differences from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. A reconciliation of our income statement and balance sheet and statements of cash flows between US GAAP and Canadian GAAP are presented below together with a description of the significant measurement differences affecting these financial statements.

a) Exploration and development expenditures

For Canadian GAAP purposes, the Company capitalizes exploration and development costs incurred on our properties after proven and probable reserves have been found as well as on properties where the Company has found non-reserve material that does not meet all the criteria required for classification as proven or probable reserves. The determination as to whether the existence of non-reserve material should result in the capitalization of mine exploration and development costs is based on various factors, including: the existence and nature of known mineralization; the location of the property (for example, whether the presence of existing mines and ore bodies in the immediate vicinity increases the likelihood of development of a mine on the property); the results of recent drilling on the property; and the existence of a pre-feasibility or feasibility study or other analysis to demonstrate that mineralization is expected to be commercially recoverable. Under US GAAP, exploration and development expenditures incurred on properties where mineralization has not been classified as a proven and probable reserve under Securities Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) Industry Guide No. 7 are expensed as incurred. Accordingly, certain expenditures are capitalized for Canadian GAAP purposes but expensed under US GAAP.
