Table of ContentsGLOSSARY
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 labor 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 |  | a concentrate of minerals produced by crushing, grinding and processing methods such as gravity, flotation or leaching. |
| | |
 |  |  |
exploration stage |  | the search for mineral deposits 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 |  |  |
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. |

 |  |
3D. | Risk Factors |
The Company faces risk factors and uncertainties 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 and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. 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 sit e 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 in Vietnam or Philippines depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the following factors that are applicable to our properties: 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 Primarily 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 (3,648 ounces) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company is still primarily an exploration Company. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $39,668,954 as at June 30, 2007. 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. If we do not raise these funds, we wou ld 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, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, namely typhoon season in Vietnam. None of our properties are in a flood or earthquake zone. Such occurrence s 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. 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 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 the Price of Gold Declines, Our Properties May Not Be Economically Viable: The Company’s revenues are expected to be in large part derived from the |
12
Table of Contents |  |
| 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. If the price of gold (including other base and precious metals) is below our cost to produce gold, our properties will not 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. |
 |  |
• | We May Not be Able to Compete with Other Mining Companies for Mineral Properties, Investment Funds, Personnel and Technical Expertise: 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 prevent the Company from conducting its business activities or prevent profitability of existing or future properties or operations if the Company were unable to obtain suitable properties for exploration in the future, secure financing for our operations or attract and retain mining experts. |
 |  |
• | If We do Not Comply with All Applicable Regulations, We May be Forced to Halt our Business Activities: Such activities are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor 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. The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in Vietnam and in Philippines. Environmental legislation is still evolving in this jurisdiction and i t 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. Unfavorable 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 res ource 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. If there are future changes in environmental regulation, they could impede the Company’s current and future business activities and negatively impact the profitability of operations. Large increases in capital expenditures resulting from any of the above factors could force the Company to cease business activities. |
 |  |
• | If We Are Unable to Obtain and Keep in Good Standing certain Licenses, We will be Unable to Explore, Develop or Mine any of our Property Interests: 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. Our applications for exploration licenses for Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son are in progress. C urrently, the Company is engaging in exploration activities under the investment licenses. Under Vietnamese law, an exploration license is required in order to get new or amended mining licenses. The Company |
13
Table of Contents |  |
| currently has mining licenses to cover the area being mined but to further expand the mining area or cover a new mining area the Company would require an exploration license before obtaining the new or amended mining license. If we do not obtain needed exploration licenses, this could limit our ability to mine new additional areas and therefore negatively impact production and profitability of the Company. |
 |  |
• | If We Do Not Make Certain Payments or Fulfill Other Contractual Obligations, We May Lose Our Option Rights and Interests in Our 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 Which Could Prevent Us From Exploring, Developing or Operating at any of our Properties: There is no guarantee that title to concessions will be not challenged or impugned. In Vietnam or the Philippines, 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. In Vietnam, mining laws are in a state of flux, continuously being reviewed and updated, and the system is new and as yet untested. If title to assets is challenged or impugned, the Company may not be able to explore, devel op or operate its properties as permitted or enforce its rights with respect to the properties. |
 |  |
• | Political and Economic Instability In Vietnam or the Philippines Could Make it More Difficult or Impossible, for Us to Conduct 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 prevent or hinder the Company’s business activitie s and render our properties unprofitable by preventing or impeding future property exploration, development or mining. 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 decrease when 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, the Company has no borrowings. |
 |  |
• | Our Stock Price Could be Volatile: The market price of our common shares 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 cause a significant, decline of 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 |
14
Table of Contents |  |
| 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. 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. |
 |  |
• | Shareholders Could Experience Dilution of the Value of their Investment if We Issue Additional Shares: 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. As at September 30, 2007, the Company has issued 232,367,011 of outstanding common shares. As at September 30, 2007, there was 39,481,170 of securities are issuable in the future that are outstanding options, warrants and bonus shares under signed agreements. If these sha res 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 Harmed Since We are Heavily Dependent Upon Them for All Aspects of Our Acitivities: 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 negative impact on our ability to conduct our activities and could cause a decline in profitability of our properties or additional costs from a delay in development or exploration of properties. The Company has consulting agreements with the Chief Executive Officer, President, Country Manager and Chief F inancial Officer. |
 |  |
• | Our Management May Not Be Subject to U.S. Legal Process Making it More Difficult for Investors to Sue Them: The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may not be possible by the fact that all of our officers and directors are neither citizens nor residents of the United States. U.S. stockholders may not be able to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons. U.S. stockholders may not 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 l aws. Appropriate foreign courts may not be able to enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws. The appropriate foreign courts may not be able to 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 Their 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 |
15
Table of Contents |  |
| 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. If the Company is unable to pursue such opportunities because of our officers’ and directors’ conflicts, this would reduce the Company’s opportunities to increase our future profitability and revenues. 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, if the Company is unable to obtain necessary investment capital and technical resources because of our officers’ and directors’ conflicts, the Company would not be able to obtain potential profitable properties or interests and reduce the Company’s opportunities to increase our future revenues and income. 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. |
 |  |
• | We used a Pre-Feasibility Study and did not Complete a Feasibility Study Before Making our Decision to Place the Ho Gan Mine into Production: The economic feasibility of our mining properties is based upon a number of factors, including estimations of reserves and mineralized material, extraction and process recoveries, engineering, capital and operating costs, future production rates and future prices of gold, and other precious metals that we may attempt to mine in the future. It is customary for a company to prepare a feasibility study on a property before making the decision to place the property into production. A feasibility study is a d etailed report assessing the feasibility, economics and engineering of placing a mineral deposit into commercial production. However, the Company did not have a feasibility study prepared before making its decision to place the Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine (‘‘Ho Gan Mine’’) into production. Instead, the Company prepared a pre-feasibility study, which is a less comprehensive report. Pre-feasibility studies can underestimate a project’s capital and operating costs, while at the same time overestimating the amount of reserves and mineralization. Accordingly, as the Company attempts to scale up the Ho Gan Mine to full production, it may learn that it has underestimated the amount of capital it will need and the costs involved in mining the deposit, as well as other issues affecting the project’s profitability. During fourth quarter 2006, management determined that the Bong Mieu Central mine was not reaching originally estimated future throughput. Consequently, an impairment cha rge of $4,280,000 was taken on the Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) deferred exploration and development costs. Had the Company prepared a full feasibility study, rather than just a pre-feasibility report, it is possible that the Company might have determined that the economics of the project were unfavorable and decided not to place the mine into production. |
 |  |
• | The Company Conducted only Limited Drilling on its Bong Mieu Property so its Decision to Place the Ho Gan Mine into Production May be Based upon Incomplete Information: The Company conducted a limited amount of drilling before making its decision to place the Ho Gan Mine into production. As a result, the Company’s estimates of the mineralized material and reserves on the property, which played a large role in the Company’s production decision, may not be accurate. Furthermore, the Company’s determination of the character, location, size and accessibility of the mineralized material may be based upon incomplete data, rendering its conclusions potentially inaccurate about the commerciality of the property. |
 |  |
• | Because the Company’s Testing of its Mining Process at the Ho Gan Mine was Limited to Small Pilot Plant and Bench Scale Testing, it may be Unable to Obtain the Expected Metallurgical Recoveries when It Scales Up its Operations, Rendering the Project Unprofitable: Before the Company placed the Ho Gan Mine into production, it built a pilot plant and conducted bench scale testing. A pilot plant is a small-scale mill in which representative tonnages of ore can be tested under conditions which foreshadow or imitate those of the full-scale operation proposed for a given ore. Although a pilot plant can provide information on mining the deposit, very frequently a company will have difficulty duplicating the results from the pilot plant and bench scale testing when scaling the project up to a production level, which has been the case to date with the Company’s operations at the Ho Gan Mine. The mine commenced limited operations in 2006, pouring its first gold bar in March 2006. |
16
Table of Contents |  |
| At that time, it was determined that the mining process had to be reconfigured. Consequently, the Company has taken steps to modify its mining process, causing Company not to meet its planned production goals. The current ore throughput at the mine is approximately 500 tons per day. The Company’s original estimates of future cash operating costs at the mine, which were based largely on the Company’s pilot plant and bench scale testing, have been increased to reflect the above factors. |
Since the Ho Gan Mine, as well as the Company’s other property interests, have no significant operating histories, estimates of mineralized material and reserves, mining and process recoveries and operating costs must be based, in addition to the information received from the pilot plant and bench scale testing, to a large extent upon the interpretation of geologic data obtained from drill holes, and upon scoping and feasibility estimates that derive forecasts of operating costs from anticipated tonnages and grades of mineralized material and reserves to be mined and processed, the configuration of the mineralized deposits, expected recovery rates of minerals, comparable facility and equipment costs, and climatic conditions and other factors. Commonly in new projects, such as the Ho Gan Mine, actual construction costs, operating costs and economic returns differ materially from those initially estimated. The Company cannot be certain that the Ho Gan Mine w ill ever achieve the production levels forecasted, that the expected operating cost levels will be achieved, or that funding will be available from internal and external sources in necessary amounts or on acceptable terms to continue the necessary development work. Failure to achieve the Company’s production forecasts would negatively affect the Company’s revenues, profits and cash flows. Accordingly, if the Ho Gan Mine, or any of the Company’s other properties, cannot be developed within the time frames or at the costs anticipated, or that any forecasted operating results can be achieved, the projects could possibly be rendered unprofitable.

ITEM 4: | Information on the Company |
4A. History and Development of the Company
Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’ or ‘‘Olympus’’) 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 the vendors in NVMC. In June 2004, the Company acquired the remaining 42.82% of the outstanding shares of NVMC from Zedex Limited (now referred to as ‘‘Zedex Minerals Limited’’ after a name change) and Ivanhoe.
In other areas in Vietnam, the Company is continuing broad regional geology programs to identify other potential exploration areas. Additional applications for exploration licenses have been filed in Vietnam and the Company has also lodged an application in Laos. These applications are in early stages of review by the respective government bodies. Based on the Company’s experience working in these countries, the timing of application approvals can vary significantly, and are expected to be granted within the next one to two years.
On November 23, 2006, the Company signed a Memorandum of Agreement and Supplement to Memorandum of Agreement (collectively, the ‘‘MOA’’) with Abra Mining and Industrial Corporation (‘‘AMIC’’) and Jabel Corporation (‘‘Jabel’’) which will allow the Grantee (defined as the Company and a Philippine national corporation to be identified by the Company) to acquire an option to earn a 60% interest in the Capcapo Property (as defined below) upon completing a specified level of expenditures on the Capcapo Property. The Capcapo Property consists of a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (‘‘MPSA’’) No. 144-99-CAR (‘‘MPSA 144’’), which covers 756 hectares in Capcapo, Licuan-Baay, Abra Province, Philippines, and a two-kilometre radius buffer zone around MPSA 144, with an area of about
18
Table of Contents3,500 hectares, which falls under a neighbouring Exploration Permit Application (‘‘EXPA’’). Jabel holds the Property in its name and is a minority shareholder in AMC. AMIC has an operating agreement with Jabel in respect of the Capcapo Property.
The MOA is a binding agreement that is conditional on the Company’s completion of a due diligence program to validate historical drilling information. Under the MOA, the parties will form a joint venture corporation (‘‘Newco’’) that will develop, manage and conduct mining operations on the Property. Newco and Jabel will become co-holders of the titles to the Property. Although Jabel’s name will remain on the Capcapo Property titles, Jabel’s only economic interest in the Property will be a royalty. Aside from the royalty, all of the Capcapo Property’s proceeds shall flow through Newco.
Upon full exercise of the option, Newco will be 40% owned by Kadabra Mining Corp. (‘‘Kadabra’’), 20% owned by a Philippine national that the Company will identify (‘‘Philco’’), and 40% owned by AMIC. Collectively, the 40% ownership of Kadabra and the 20% ownership of Philco in Newco represent the 60% interest in the Property that is subject of the MOA. Under Philippine law, foreign-owned entities can only hold up to 40% of a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (‘‘MPSA’’).
Under the MOA, once the due diligence procedures are complete with the drilling information being validated and a formal agreement is signed, a cash payment of U.S. $200,000 will be made by the Grantee to AMIC to be funded by the recent August 10, 2007 share placement with gross proceeds of $25,000,000. Six months after the signing of the formal agreement, the Grantee will issue Olympus common shares to AMIC with a total value of U.S. $350,000 based on the average of the trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days preceding the date of the signing of the formal agreement. Once the Grantee has spent U.S. $3 million on exploration and development work on the property, the Grantee will issue to AMIC further common shares of Olympus with a total value of U.S. $450,000 based on the average of the trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days preceding their date of issuance. To earn the 60 % interest, a cumulative spending of U.S. $6 million by the Grantee on exploration and development must occur by the end of the 5th year after the signing of the formal agreement. The Grantee earns a 20% interest after the first U.S. $1 million is spent, an additional 20% interest after an additional U.S. $2 million has been spent and an additional 20% interest after an additional U.S. $3 million has been spent. Once the 60% interest has been earned, a new joint venture company (‘‘NEWCO’’) would be formed of which the Grantee would hold a 60%. If the Grantee obtains less than the 60% interest, the Grantee would share in less than 60% of the results of the joint venture. One year after full commercial production is achieved on the property, a royalty would be paid to Jabel, the underlying title holder of the property, equ al to either 3% of gross value of production or 6% of annual Profit of NEWCO, as defined in the agreement, whichever is higher. In order to make the required cash payments and exploration and development expenditures if the formal agreement is signed, the Company intends to raise funding through equity issuance. Approximately $2.5 million of the August 10, 2007 share placement has been allocated to be used for the Capcapo exploration program If exploration results are favorable, then the focus would be to construct a mine in order to extract, process and produce gold, with the future impact on the Company of higher capital expenditures associated with mine construction and upon completion of the mine construction, increased production and sales.
On May 31, 2007, the Company registered a Philippine corporation with the Republic of the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission under the corporate name of Kadabra Mining Corp (‘‘Kadabra’’). Kadabra has an authorized and outstanding stock of PHP30,000,000.00 and is 100% beneficially owned by the Company. Kadabra will hold the Company’s 40% interest in Newco and is used to track expenditures by the Company on the joint venture. Kadabra has articles of incorporation and authorized and outstanding stock of PHP30,000,000. Refer to exhibit 3.20 for Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Incorporation.
As at June 5, 2007, drill results at Capcapo from the first hole, the second and third holes on the main Capcapo deposit continue to intersect significant shallow depth gold and copper mineralization, that is; 41 meters or 134 feet of 2.07 g/t gold, 0.60% copper and 7.75 g/t silver with higher-grade zones of 3.33 g/t gold, 1.45% copper and 26.48 g/t silver over 6 meters; and 4.02 g/t gold, 1.05% copper and 8.46 g/t silver over 10 meters; 27 meters or 89 feet of 2.55 g/t gold, 0.55% copper and 3.49 g/t silver including 4.05 g/t gold, 0.78% copper and 4.81g/t silver over 16 meters.

On September 21, 2007, the Company announced that it has completed its due diligence at Capcapo. During the next phase at Capcapo, the Company will complete formal joint venture documentation as well as fulfilling its legal, social and community responsibilities through the terms of the National Commission on Indigenous People. The Company will recommence exploration drilling once all outstanding agreements and legal parameters are signed with the various stakeholders.
In third quarter 2007, the Company signed a Framework of Laos and Cambodia Joint Venture Agreement with Zedex covering exploration activities in Laos and Cambodia. Refer to Exhibit 3.26. As this joint venture is in the early stages of set-up, there has been minimal activity in 2007 to date and there is minimal budgeted expenditures anticipated in 2008.

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 (on the TSX Venture prior to 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 pilot 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 evaluation studies are continuing at the Bong Mieu Underground mine, located within one kilometre of the operating Bong Mieu Central plant site.
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
22
Table of Contentsthe 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 (‘‘Micon’’) 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 and 2006 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 req uired 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 now a member of the World Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’), foreign companies are ostensibly treated on an equal basis as Vietnamese companies. Refer to the discussion under Item 5A for further details.

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 Underground 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 Dak Sa Underground Project is currently co mprised of the South (Bai Dat) and North (Bai Go) deposits which lie about 1 km apart. Once these deposits are developed and constructed into mines, they would share the same infrastructure and eventually be connected by an underground tunnel. As at June 30, 2007, site earthworks for the commencement of development were completed, highwall stabilization was 80% complete, portal construction for the main access had commenced, the road construction was complete, temporary site infrastructure was 50% complete and the explosive magazine had been commissioned.
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 – Ho Gan), 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 Mieu Central open pit mine and associated infrastructure in 2005 and 2006, with commercial gold production starting in the fourth quarter of 2006. Current ore throughput at Ho Gan pilot plant is about 500 tons per day. 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. The main equipment utilized at the Bong Mieu Central open pit mine includes the following: ball mills, generators, assay lab equipment, lab flotation cell, crusher / conveyor system and Gekko Gold processing plant. The general manpower requirement at Bong Mieu is approximately 150 workers on average. Processing plant and lab maintenance routinely occurs with the operations.

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 valu e. 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 the vendors 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 out standing 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 a 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.
25
Table of ContentsAs at September 30, 2006, Ivanhoe held no Olympus shares and Zedex Minerals Limited (formerly Zedex Limited) holds approximately 16% of Olympus’ issued and outstanding shares. Consequently, only Zedex Minerals Limited has retained the right to nominate two directors and Olympus no longer has the obligation to include a nominee from Ivanhoe Mines Ltd.
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 Dak Sa Underground Project is currently comprised of two deposits, the North (Bai Go) and South (Bai Dat) deposits.
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 labor 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. On November 26, 2006, this contract was cancelled as a result of inclement weather and changes in the construction plan.
On March 7, 2007, the Company released updated resource estimates for Phuoc Son incorporating the results of drilling up to October 2006.

(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 (Bai Dat) and North (Bai Go) deposits which lie about 1 km apart and these two deposits, once developed and constructed into mines, will share the same infrastructure and expected to eventually be connected by an underground tunnel. 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 contributed to the legal capital and Minco has chosen to defer its rights to receive its share of the distributions of profits until its contribution to legal capital is recovered in full. Minco is not planning to pay its legal contribution. Mincowill not receive theirentitled share of profits until their legal ca pital portion has been recovered, after which Minco will start receiving their share of profits. Legal capital recorded for PSGC of $2,550,000 is equal to what has been contributed. The Company and NVMC are not required to contribute Minco’s share of the legal capital.
On January 23, 2006, a Mining License application was granted over the South and North deposits. The Mining License allows the Phuoc Son Gold Company Ltd. within a 3.5 year period from date of grant to construct the mine within 1.5 years and perform mining activities over two years. The Company expects that it will need to obtain an extension on the Mining License as the 3.5 year period will be inadequate for construction and mining. As at December 31, 2006, the plant site and portal area has been cleared, the road construction was approximately 70% complete and the explosive magazine had been designed and permitted. 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 has expired and the Company is in the process of obtaining a new exploration license which would allow exploration activities
26
Table of Contentsin the specified areas. All necessary documentation for the exploration license has been accepted by the evaluation committee of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the documentation has been submitted for further approval with the Deputy Minister. Currently, the Company is engaging in exploration activities under the investment license. However, the expired exploration license may impede our future activities. Under Vietnamese law, an exploration license is required in order to get new or amended mining licenses. The Company currently has mining licenses to cover the area being mined but to further expand the mining area or cover a new mining area the Company would require an exploration license before obtaining the new or amended mining license. This risk has been referred to under Item 3D. The exploration license is a separate license from the Mining and Investment Licenses. Given the lengthy process involved in the application for an exploration license, the Company does not a nticipate receiving the exploration license until third quarter of 2007. Exploration license terms are typically two years if it is the first renewal of the license.

(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
29
Table of Contentsconstruction 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 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 unfavorable for farming activities.
 |  |
(c) | Geology |
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 (Bai Dat) and North (Bai Go) 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; |
30
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 filter ed/processed all previous magnetic data to facilitate improved anomaly resolution. Based on favorable 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 exploratio n and development costs of $1,805,607 were incurred for the Phuoc Son Gold Property.
2006 Work
As of December 31, 2006, the Company has completed 63 drill holes totalling approximately 11,330 metres, mainly focusing on the : North (Bai Go) Deposit , South (Bai Dat) Deposit and other exploration holes on assorted priority targets in the Dak Sa area. These ongoing exploration activities resulted in additional positive drill results at Phuoc Son. Over the course of 2006, the North Deposit has been significantly enlarged and now extends in excess of 900 metres in a north-south orientation. The drilling has also confirmed that the deposit remains open for further expansion. In April 2006, resource estimates were updated internally by qualified persons using the original resource estimates audited by engineering firm, Watts Griffis and McOuat [‘‘WGM’’] as a base document. The April 2006 update was on the North Deposit ore body, incorporating the results of drilling to March 31, 2006. An in-house technic al report has been completed with respect to the North and South Deposits. An engineering firm has been selected to
31
Table of Contentscomplete an independent review of this technical report 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 mineral reserves and mineral 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 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, deferred exploration and development costs of $2,458,242 were incurred for the Phuoc Son Gold Property.
2007 Work
On May 22, 2007, the Company has reported its results from drilling on the northern extension at the Phuoc Son Gold property. An additional drill rig has been added to expedite the program which is designed to further enlarge the zone as well as upgrade the currently outlined extension to mineral resource status. Recent results from a 100 meter step-out drilling on the north extension returned 8.56 g/t gold over 5.75 meters which is contained with in a wider section of 3.84 g/t gold over 14.95 meters.
As of June 30, 2007, Olympus had completed nine drill holes for approximately 3,765 metres largely in the North Deposit Extension area. Results from this drilling have continued to return very positive results. On March 7, 2007, the Company released updated resource estimates and exploration results at Dak Sa (VN 320). The Measured and Indicated [‘‘M & I’’] resources, based on drilling up to October 2006 has increased 42% and stands at 493,000 tonnes at an average grade of 13.21 g/t for 209,500 ounces of gold. The M & I total is comprised of Measured resources of 157,000 tonnes, grading13.21g/t and Indicated resources of 336,000 tonnes, grading 13.21g/t. Additional resources of 94,750 ounces are contained within the Inferred category (273,000 tonnes at 10.78 g/t).
During the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2007, deferred exploration and development costs of $1,110,182 and $1,868,277 respectively, were incurred for Phuoc Son Gold Company.
Year to date as at November 6, 2007, the drilling program at Phuoc Son has completed 8,336 meters in 24 drill holes. Current drilling is focused on the north-extension of the Dak Sa shear zone, which is one of several large mineralized fault/shear structures being explored within the Phuoc Son property. The goal of the on-going drilling and underground mine development is to indicate the continuity of mineralization between North and South deposits, as well as result in an increase of further mineable resources within the north-extension. The current drilling program is extending the known mineralization of Dak Sa structure to the west and down-dip of the limits of NI43-101 resources in both the north and south sectors of the deposit. The current North-Extension drilling program has so far extended the Dak Sa mineralized structure for more than 800 metres beyond the previously defined limit of NI 43-101 resources in the North Deposit. The total strike length of the Dak Sa shear zone is now well over 2 km.
(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 (Bai Dat)
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 (Bai Go)
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
32
Table of Contentsfracture controlled in quartz. Drilling has delineated a central high-grade zone. The 2006 drilling at the North Deposit has returned results nearly extending the strike length of the North Deposit to over 900 metres and confirming that the deposit mineralization remains undefined further to the north and south. Ongoing drilling in 2007 will focus on continuing to enlarge the deposit as well as bring the currently outlined exploration extensions to mineral resource status.
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.

4D.2 Bong Mieu Gold Property
Olympus has been involved with the property since September 1997. Olympus acquired its interest in the Bong Mieu Gold Property in September 1997 by acquiring 100% of Bong Mieu Holding, Ltd. from Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. The Company 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%) and Minco (10%).
The Company manages the exploration programs on the property on behalf of the joint venture. The property covers four known deposits, namely Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan), Bong Mieu East (Ho Ray), Bong Mieu East (Thac Trang) 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 and gold production.
Starting in 2005 and continuing into 2006, mine construction at the Company’s Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine (Ho Gan) was completed. After the initial gold pour in March 2006, it was determined that the 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 became operational during Q3 2007. For the second quarter 2007, Bong Mieu Central produced 2,158 oz. and sold 2,188 oz. of gold at an average gold market price of US$680 per oz. The production for the second quarter of 2007 reflected an average grade of 3.1 grams per tonne, mill throughput of 36,020 tonnes and, as a result of low capacity of the detoxification circuit and low pull out at the gravity circuit, a gold re covery of approximately 60%. Ongoing improvements have been made at Bong Mieu Central to increase recovery and capacity including the installation of a control monitoring system in Q1 2007; and in Q1 and Q2 2007, installation of a third detoxification tank to scavenge the gold in solution from the leach tails and installation of a Falcon concentrator as a parallel gravity gold recovery line in the grinding circuit.
34
Table of ContentsThe carrying value of the mineral property and rights and deferred development costs related to the Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) mine, is about $1.2 million and $0.1 million respectively, as at June 30, 2007, and the carrying value of the property, plant, equipment and infrastructure for the Bong Mieu (Ho Gan) Central mine is approximately $7.1 million as at June 30, 2007. Current ore throughput at Ho Gan to date is about 500 tons per day. 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.
(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, Bong Mieu East (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: 10% for MIDECO, 10% for MINCO 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 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.

Table of ContentsOn January 5, 2007, Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company obtained a gold export certificates to allow for exportation of any dore that is produced by the Company that will be refined and sold offshore, as the previous gold export certificate expired in December 31, 2006.
The Bong Mieu exploration license is expired and a new license is in the process of being obtained. This license is separate from the other licenses. If we are unable to obtain our exploration license, this could impede our future activities. Currently, the Company is engaging in exploration activities under the investment license. Under Vietnamese law, an exploration license is required in order to get new or amended mining licenses. The Company currently has mining licenses to cover the area being mined but to further expand the mining area or cover a new mining area the Company would require an exploration license before obtaining the new or amended mining license. Refer to Item 3D for discussion of risk factors. Exploration license term is typically two years if it is the first renewal of the license. Given the lengthy process involved in obtaining an exploration license, the Company does not anticipate receiving the license until first quarter 200 8.

(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 ContentsElectrical power via the national grid is close to the Property and reaches the villages. Water is available on the Property from the local rivers.
(c) Geology
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 (Ho Ray Deposit & Thac Trang)
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.
38
Table of Contents2005 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 December 2006, Olympus has completed 66 drill holes totalling approximately 3,020 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 in third quarter 2007.
Preliminary exploration programs, including drilling, have been initiated to evaluate the economic potential of two new prospects, Ho Gan East and Bong Mieu West. At the Nui Kem mine, the exploration decline portal has been completed and the first 70 metres of the tunnel has been developed.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, deferred exploration and development costs of $3,147,855 were incurred for the Bong Mieu Gold Property.
2007 Work
As of June 30, 2007 Olympus has completed 51 shallow holes totalling approximately 557 metres in the BM Central (VN 220) Area 11 to evaluate the east extension of the narrow, but high grade vein-structure mined at Area 11. The program has confirmed that the mineralized structure extends for more than 100 m to the east.
As of June 30, 2007 two holes totalling 219.5 metres of this program have been completed. The review and validation of the updated Bong Mieu East (VN240) resource estimates was completed by qualified Olympus staff.
On October 9, 2007, the Company reported increases to the mineral resources at the Bong Mieu Gold Property as outlined in a Technical Report prepared by Terra Mining Consultants and Stevens & Associates (‘‘TMC/SA’’). The full text of the report is available on the Olympus and Sedar websites: (www.olympuspacific.com)(www.sedar.com). Refer to the updated mineral resources estimates table in Item 4.D.2(f).
During the quarter ended and six-month period June 30, 2007, deferred exploration costs of $856,600 and $1,482,588 were incurred for the Bong Mieu Gold Property.

Table of Contents(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.
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 determinatio n is made. None of the Company’s mineral reserves as determined under NI 43-101 to date would qualify as mineral reserves under Industry Guide No. 7.

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, Philippines and Laos.
The Ho Gan plant at the Bong Mieu gold property has been commissioned and commercial production started in the fourth quarter of 2006. There are no further significant capital expenditures anticipated to be incurred in 2007 for the plant. The Company poured its first 3.6 kg doré bar on February 15, 2006 and the Company is its exploration programs at Bong Mieu. On October 9, 2007, the Company reported increases to the mineral resource estimates at the Bong Mieu Gold Property as outlined in a Technical Report prepared by TMC/SA. The full text of the report is available on the Olympus and Sedar websites (www.olympuspacific.com and www.sedar.com).
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 US $39 million with the funding for this project to be financed by a combination of debt and equity. The continued drilling at the North Deposit has been significantly enlarged and now extends in excess of 900 metres in a north-south orientation. The drilling has also confirmed that the deposit remains open for further expansion. Drilling in 2007 continues to fo cus on continuing to enlarge the deposit as well as bringing the currently outlined exploration extensions to mineral resource status.
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’’). The Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) pilot plant project reached commercial production levels effective October 1, 2006. To increase gold recoveries, a re-grind circuit was received in December 2006 and was installed in the second quarter of
42
Table of Contents2007. A control and monitoring system was installed in December 2006 and was implemented in first quarter of 2007. There are no further significant capital expenditures anticipated to be incurred in 2007 for the gold processing plant at this stage. On November 1, 2005, Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company entered into a refining and sales 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. Currently, the Company has one customer, Argor. If Argor was unable to purchase our gold, management believes another customer could be procured on a timely basis and any inventoried dore bars could be sold at the then market value.
Based upon an evaluation of the operating results of the Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) plant since the commencement of commercial production, management has determined during the fourth quarter of 2006 that the carrying amount of the long-lived assets related to the Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) mine was not fully recoverable. Consequently, an impairment charge of $4,280,000 was taken on the Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) deferred exploration and development cost in fourth quarter 2006.
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. BM Underground is fully permitted to mine and is located within one kilometre of the BM Central plant.
Exploration, infill and metallurgical drill programs continued in the Bong Mieu East area. As of June 30, 2007, Olympus completed 51 shallow holes totalling approximately 557 metres in the BM Central (VN 220). The shallow drilling tested fringe extensions and infill of Areas 3, 6 and 9.
Surface exploration continued on the south trend which hosts the BM underground deposit. A first phase drill program consisting of nine shallow holes commenced in May 2007 to test the continuity of this near surface mineralization. The zone is located approximately 100 metres above the main Bong Mieu underground deposit (Nui Kem). As of June 30, 2007, two holes totalling 219.5 metres of this program were completed.
On October 9, 2007, the Company reported increases to the mineral resource estimates the Bong Mieu Gold Property as outlined in a Technical Report prepared by TMC/SA. The full text of the report is available on the Olympus and Sedar websites (www.olympuspacific.com and www.sedar.com).
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 2007.
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 has substantially completed the in-house scoping study. The purpose of the in-house scoping 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. Once the 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.
The capital costs for the Phuoc Son project are estimated to be approximately $34 million. The project cost increase is related mainly to mine and plant site design and access changes as well as the impact of rising labor and raw material costs occurring industry-wide. Project highlights for the first quarter 2007 include; but, not limited, to the following:
 |  |  |
| • | Site earthworks are ongoing |
 |  |  |
| • | Finalized construction schedule for the months of April – June, 2007 |

Table of Contents |  |  |
| • | Finished implementation of the additional slope stabilization works above the Bai Dat twin portals |
 |  |  |
| • | Completed construction of permanent explosive magazine with government inspection to occur in second quarter 2007 |
As of December 2006, Olympus had completed 63 drill holes for 11,330 metres largely in the North Deposit area. Results from this drilling have continued to be positive. To evaluate new exploration approaches at Phuoc Son, eight kilometres of Induced Polarization (IP) surveys were completed over the known mineralization at the North and South deposits. The orientation survey successfully identified the known mineralized deposits the exploration licence is in the process of being renewed.
The Dak Sa North Deposit has been significantly extended in strike length and now extends in excess of 900 meters in a north-south direction. In April 2006, resource estimates were completed to update the North Deposit ore body, incorporating the results of drilling to March 31, 2006. On March 7, 2007, the Company released updated resource estimates for Phuoc Son incorporating the results of drilling up to October 2006. Exploration drilling completed in the Bai Choui Area located between the North and South deposits returned favorable results. Consequently, further exploration and step-out drilling is planned in 2007 to address this highly prospective mineralized area and to advance it to resource status. A NI 43-101 Compliant Independent Technical Report is being prepared which will include the updated resource estimate and incorporate drill results to date.
Current Trends, Uncertainties, or Events that could Impact our Results:
 |  |  |
| 1. | The current gold price volatility could impact our profitability at our current operating mine and economic viability at development and exploration projects |
 |  |  |
| 2. | Our successful raising of additional funds through equity issuance or debt will determine the extent of exploration activities and development. On August 10, 2007, the Company completed an offering with gross proceeds of $25,000,000 to be used for further exploration and feasibility studies at the Company’s Bong Mieu Gold and Phuoc Son Gold properties in Vietnam and the Capcapo property in the Philippines and for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, management is evaluating the project funding for Phuoc Son to determine whether it will be raised through equity or debt/equity financing. |
 |  |  |
| 3. | As a result of the offering, the Company is expanding its exploration programs during 2008 at its three key projects, namely Phuoc Son, Bong Mieu and Capcapo. The Company has approved a budget of U.S. $22 million that will be predominantly dedicated to exploration and developmental drilling, resource updates and feasibility studies. The key focus of the Company is to increase its gold reserves and resources through exploration and infill drilling programs at Bong Mieu, Phuoc Son and Capcapo. Consequently, the Company expects the level of spending on exploration, feasibility studies and development costs to increase over prior years and quarters. |
 |  |  |
| 4. | Our loan facilities agreement with Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL) was repayable on July 31, 2007 and was extendable to June 30, 2008 at the option of MBL. On June 27, 2007, the U.S. $2 million debt facility was repaid in full. The Company completed a further share offering with gross proceeds of $25,000,000 in August 2007. Consequently, the non-extension of the MBL facility did not have any impact on our Company’s results of operations. |

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Six and Three Months Period Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six and Three Months Period Ended June 30, 2006
Results of Operation
The Bong Mieu (VN220) plant went into commercial production effective October 1, 2006. Since September 30, 2006, our Bong Mieu Central (VN220) mine no longer defers costs net of revenues as the mine is in commercial production. A total of 2,188 ounces of gold were sold for proceeds of $1,640,631 during the second quarter of 2007. On a year-to-date basis, 3,648 ounces of gold were sold for proceeds of $2,759,715.
44
Table of ContentsDuring the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s costs and expenses were $7,517,661, representing an increase of $5,720,614 from $1,797,047 for six months ended June 30, 2006. The difference is principally due to: cost of sales of $3,076,542, a non-cash increase of $800,323 in stock-based compensation related to the grant of options, an increase of $392,400 in management fees and salaries mainly related to the staffing increases, an increase of $198,711 of professional fees related to audit, legal and compliance work, an increase of $56,556 in office and general administration expenses, an increase of $91,191 in investor relations, an increase of $110,771 in consulting fees, an increase of $52,146 in travel, an increase in amortization of $944,455 mainly due to the start of commercial production at the Bong Mieu Central (VN220) mine in fourth quarter 2006.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s costs and expenses were $3,501,946 representing an increase of $2,663,970 from $837,976 for three months ended June 30, 2006. The difference is principally due to: cost of sales of $1,498,650, a non-cash increase of $155,078 in stock-based compensation related to the grant of options, an increase of $134,692 in management fees and salaries mainly related to the staffing increases, an increase of $122,418 of professional fees related to audit, legal and compliance work, an increase of $29,687 in office and general administration expenses, an increase of $128,360 in investor relations and promotion, an increase of $132,602 in travel, and an increase in amortization of $492,933 mainly due to the start of commercial production at the Bong Mieu Central (VN220) mine in fourth quarter 2006.
Interest expense increased from nil in 2006 to $128,879 in 2007, as a result of the Macquarie financing arrangement. Transactions costs of $265,488 were expensed in Q1 2007 when the potential Zedex merger was withdrawn.
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005
The Bong Mieu (VN220) plant went into commercial production effective October 1, 2006, with revenues of $1,644,040 (2,316 oz) in fourth quarter 2006. After September 30, 2006, our Bong Mieu Central (VN220) mine no longer defers costs net of revenues as the mine is in commercial production. A total of 4,651 ounces of gold were sold for proceeds of USD$2,917,582 during 2006 of which 2,335 oz with proceeds of USD$1,469,309 were netted against deferred development costs.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s costs and expenses were $6,557,755, representing an increase of $3,554,551 from $3,003,204 for year ended December 31, 2005. The difference is principally due to: cost of sales of $1,535,891, a non-cash decrease of $344,044 in stock-based compensation related to the grant of options, an increase of $163,682 related to regulatory fees for the TSX listing, an increase of $638,129 in management fees and salaries mainly related to the staffing increases, an increase of $165,862 of professional fees related to audit, legal and compliance work, an increase of $277,369 in office and general administration expenses, an increase of $165,973 in consulting fees, an increase in amortization of $576,318 mainly due to the start of commercial production at the Bong Mieu Central (VN220) mine in fourth quarter 2006 and an increase of $196,092 in exploration activities in Southeast Asia.
The 2006 results also reflect a deferred exploration cost write off of $438,931 related to properties no longer being pursued by the Company and a $4,280,000 impairment charge against deferred development costs related to the Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) mine. During the fourth quarter 2007, management determined that the Bong Mieu Central mine was not going to reach the original estimated future throughput levels, resulting in the estimated undiscounted future cash flows being less than the carrying value of the Bong Mieu Central (Ho Gan) related assets. Consequently, the Company measured and recorded an impairment charge of $4,280,000. Foreign exchange gains of $9,062 were experienced in 2006 in comparison to foreign exchange gains of $239,626 in 2005 as a result of the stable exchange rates that occurred between Canada and United States in 2006. Interest income increased from $21,029 in 2005 to $272,156 in 2006, as the average invested cash balance was signific antly higher than 2005 as a result of a private placement in March 2006. Interest expense increased from $23,203 in 2005 to $127,262 in 2006, as a result of the Macquarie financing arrangement.
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.
45
Table of ContentsDuring 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.
Government Economic, Fiscal, Monetary or Political Policies or Factors
In order to explore, invest, mine, export or import equipment in Vietnam, the Company goes through a licensing process to obtain the specific licenses. This can be a lengthy process and, as a result, the Company must include the licensing process into the project plan when determining the time frame of a project. However, obtaining licenses can take longer than anticipated and could result in additional costs to the Company if delays are experienced that impact our projects or existing operations.
On January 11, 2007, Vietnam became a full member of the World Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’). After becoming a full member of the WTO, various commitments Vietnam has made for joining the WTO will become effective. These commitments impact a number of areas such as tariffs and duties on goods, foreign service providers’ access to Vietnam, foreign ownership, reforms on Vietnam’s legal and institutional set up for trade, foreign exchange, commercial business, trading rights, policy making, duties, restrictions, pricing and export restrictions. The overall changes will further expand Vietnam’s access to the global economy and facilitate doing business in Vietnam. These reforms have no immediate impact on the Company but would likely make it easier in the future for the Company to engage in business activities in Vietnam.
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, 2007, the cash and cash equivalents’ balance is $10,815,631 compared to $4,101,536 as at December 31, 2006. The increase was mainly due to a private placement that closed on March 19, 2007 where the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 21,428,571 shares at a price of $0.56 per share, for gross proceeds of $12,000,000. All shares issued have a hold period in Canada until July 20, 2007. The net proceeds are intended to be used over the course of 2007 and 2008 for ongoing exploration, scoping studies, technical reports and development work on the Company’s mineral projects and for general corporate purposes.
On August 10, 2007, the Company closed its previously announced (June 27, 2007 and August 2, 2007) offering (the ‘‘Offering’’) of units of the Company (‘‘Units’’) for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000,000 (the ‘‘Closing’’). On September 7, 2007, the over-allotment option granted to the agents in connection
46
Table of Contentswith the Company’s previously announced public offering of units (the ‘‘Offering’’), was exercised in respect of 216,394 common shares (‘‘Additional Shares’’) at a price of $0.62 per Additional Share and 323,947 warrants (‘‘Additional Warrants’’) at a price of $0.06 per Additional Warrant, resulting in additional gross proceeds of $153,601. The partial exercise of the over-allotment options brings the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company under the Offering to $25,153,601. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for further exploration and feasibility studies at the Company’s Bong Mieu Gold and Phuoc Son Gold properties in Vietnam and the Capcapo property in the Philippines and for working capital and 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%. 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 the ultimate repayment date (currently July 31, 2007 with an option to extend until June 30, 2008). 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. The Facility agreement specifies some restrictions including, but not limited to, the Company must not inc ur any indebtedness other than permitted financial indebtedness as defined under the Facility agreement. Permitted indebtedness includes any agreement entered into the ordinary course of business to acquire an asset or service where payment for the asset or service is deferred for a period of not more than 90 days and does not exceed, in aggregate, an amount of US $100,000 for each transaction party. Each transaction party is defined as Olympus, Bong Mieu and Formwell. The Facility agreement specifies that the transaction parties must not allow any encumbrance over its assets other than a permitted encumbrance or acquire an asset that is subject to an encumbrance that is not a permitted encumbrance. Each transaction party must not sell, assign, transfer or dispose of or partially dispose of any assets except an asset that does not form part of the secured property or an asset which is replaced by a similar asset. Each transaction party must not reduce its capital, buy back or redeem its shares or other secur ities issued to it or provide any financial assistance. Each transaction party may not make a distribution without the prior written consent of MBL. A distribution is defined as a dividend, distribution or any other amount related to a marketable security issued by the transaction party or interest or fee paid by the transaction party on any financial accommodation provided by a person holding a direct or indirect interest in the transaction party. The requirement for a written consent for distributions has not had a significant impact on our cash obligations to date as we have not paid out any dividends. Intercompany loans amongst transaction parties cannot be repaid to the lending transaction party unless the lending transaction party uses the proceeds of repayment to repay the MBL Facility. The above restriction on intercompany loan settlement does not significantly impact our ability to meet cash obligations as it does not prevent the provision of intercompany loans and only affects the method and timing of intercompany loan settlements. The loan is secured and guaranteed by Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company Limited and Formwell Holdings Limited. On June 27, 2007 the US$2 million Non-Revolving Debt Facility (the ‘‘Facility’’) with Macquarie Bank Limited (‘‘MBL’’) of Sydney, Australia was repaid in full. MBL elected to exercise share purchase warrants to acquire 5,376,092 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.4347 for gross proceeds of $2,336,987. A portion of the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants was used torepay in full the outstanding balance of the Facility. The non-extension of the MBL facility has had no significant impact on the Company’s activities as the Company has raised $25,153,601 in gross proceeds in a most recent offering in the third quarter of 2007.
In Vietnam, Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son are able to receive funding from the Company based on loan agreements and the receipt of a Vietnamese State Bank Certificate with respect to foreign loans and repayments. Any foreign loans must receive a certification of registration of borrowing and repayment with the State Bank of Vietnam. The total of the foreign loan amounts and legal capital must not exceed the investment capital stated in the investment license. In the case of Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son, the total of the loans and legal capital are below the stated investment capital of the investment license for each project.

Table of ContentsProfits earned in Vietnam transferred abroad annually shall be the amount of profits of a fiscal year distributed to the foreign investor after payment of corporate income tax, plus (+) other profits earned in the year, such as profits from assignment of capital, from assignment of assets, items of corporate income tax which were paid and then refunded to the foreign investor in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Corporate Income Tax; less (−) items which the foreign investor has used or undertaken to use to re-invest in Vietnam, profit items which the foreign investor has used to pay out the expenses of such foreign investor for production and business operations or for private needs of the investor in Vietnam, and profit items provisionally transferred during the year. The amount of income that an investor is permitted to transfer abroad in a fiscal year shall be determined after the Company submits an audited financial report and a tax fi nalization report for the fiscal year with the local tax office which manages the enterprise. Foreign investors shall be permitted to transfer profits abroad in the following circumstances: (i) Annual transfer and one-off transfer of the whole of the amount of profits distributed or earned after the end of the fiscal year and after filing a tax finalization report with the tax office, (ii) Provisional transfer during a fiscal year once every quarter or once every six months after payment of corporate income tax in accordance with the Law on Corporate Income Tax (except for foreign investors exempt from corporate income tax in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Corporate Income Tax and the Law on Foreign Investment in Vietnam), (iii) Transfer of profits upon termination of business operation in Vietnam in accordance with the Law on Foreign Investment in Vietnam.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Olympus invested $1,816,479 in exploration and development expenses and $1,052,812 in acquisitions of property, plant and equipment. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, Olympus invested $3,070,977 in exploration and development and $1,419,559 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 activities or specific projects in or beyond 2008 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. As a result of the August 2007 share offering that closed, the Company has approved a budget of U.S. $22 million that will be predominantly dedicated to exploration and infill drilling programs at Bong Mieu, Phuoc Son and Capcapo. The estimated cost of US$39M for the Phuoc Son development and mine construction is not yet funded. Achieving these expenditures at Phuoc Son is dependent upon obtaining the necessary funding in 2008. 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.
The Company is in the process of renewing the exploration license for the Bong Mieu Gold Property and Phuoc Son Property area.

 |  |
2. | Options are subject to an accelerated expiry term (the ‘‘Accelerated Term’’) for those options held by individuals who are no longer associated with the Company. The Accelerated Term requires that options held by individuals who resign or are terminated from the Company expire on the earlier of: (i) the original expiry term; or (ii) 90 days from the date of resignation or termination; or (ii) the date provided for in the employment or consulting agreement between participant and the Company; however, shareholder approval is required if this would cause the options to extend beyond original expiry. |

7. | Subject to the policies, rules and regulations of any lawful authority having jurisdiction (including Exchange), the Board may, at any time, without further action by its shareholders, amend the Plan or any Option granted hereunder in such respects as it may consider advisable. The Board may not, however, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under an Option theretofore granted. No Common Shares shall be issued under any amendment to this Plan unless and until the amended Plan has been approved by the Exchange. The Plan may be abandoned or terminated in whole or in part at any time by the Board, except with respect to any Option then outstanding under the Plan |
 |  |
8. | The Option Price of any Option granted shall be determined by the Board but shall not be less than the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Exchange, or another stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the listed shares occurs, for the 5 trading days immediately prior to the date of grant (or, such other price required by the Exchange) (calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of securities traded for the relevant period) (‘‘Market Price’’). |
 |  |
9. | Upon the announcement of any form of transaction (a ‘‘Change of Control Transaction’’) which, if completed, would constitute a Change of Control and under which Common Shares of the Company are to be exchanged, acquired or otherwise disposed of, including a take-over bid, or tender offer made for all or any of the issued and outstanding common shares, the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the announcement of such Change of Control Transaction, notify each Participant currently holding an Option of the Change of Control Transaction, and all Options of the Participant which have not vested shall be deemed to be fully vested and exercisable solely for purposes of permitting the Participant to exercise such Options in or der to participate in the Change of Control Transaction in respect of the Common Shares (the ‘‘Optioned Shares’’) thereby acquired. |

On August 1, 2007, the Company filed an amended and restated final short form prospectus dated August 1, 2007, amended and restated from the July 24, 2007 short form prospectus filed, with the securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario for the offering (the ‘‘Offering’’) of units of the Company (‘‘Units’’). On August 10, 2007, the Company closed its previously announced offering (the ‘‘Offering’’) of units of the Company (‘‘Units’’) for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000,000 (the ‘‘Closing’’). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued and sold a total of 38,461,538 Units at a price of $0.65 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a ‘‘Share’’) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (&ls quo;‘Warrant’’). Each whole Warrant will be exercisable at $0.80 until August 10, 2009. The Company granted the Agents an over-allotment option (the ‘‘Over-Allotment Option’’) exercisable in whole or in part at the sole discretion of the Agents, for a period of 30 days from closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 5,769,230 Shares (‘‘Additional Shares’’) at a price of $0.62 per Additional Share and up to an additional 2,884,615 Warrants (‘‘Additional Warrants’’) at a price of $0.06 per Additional Warrant, for further gross proceeds of up to $3,750,000, if exercised in full. In consideration for their services, the Corporation paid a fee of $1,500,000 to the Agents (equal to 6% of the gross proceeds realized from the sale of Units). The Agents were also granted non-transferable options (the ‘‘Compensation Options’’) to acquire 2,307,692 Units (each an ‘‘Agents ’ Unit’’) (equal to 6% of the number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering). Each Compensation Option is exercisable to acquire one Agents’ Unit at $0.65 until August 10, 2009. Each Agent’s Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (‘‘Agents’ Warrants’’). Each whole Agents’ Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (an‘‘Agents’ Warrant Share’’) at a price of $0.80 per Agents’ Warrant Share until August 10, 2009. On September 7, 2007, the over-allotment option granted to the agents in connection with the Company’s previously announced public offering of units (the ‘‘Offering’’), was exercised in respect of 216,394 common shares (‘‘Additional Shares’’) at a price of $0.62 per Additional Share and 323,947 warrants (‘‘Additional W arrants’’) at a price of $0.06 per Additional Warrant, resulting in additional gross proceeds of $153,601. Each whole Warrant will be exercisable at $0.80 until August 10, 2009. The partial exercise of the over-allotment options brings the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company under the Offering to $25,153,601. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for further exploration and feasibility studies at the Company’s Bong Mieu Gold and Phuoc Son Gold properties in Vietnam and the Capcapo property in the Philippines and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On June 26, 2007, the Company announced that its board of directors has approved the adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan, subject to TSX and shareholder approval. The purpose of the Rights Plan is to provide shareholders and the Company’s Board of Directors with adequate time to consider and evaluate any unsolicited bid made for the Company, to provide the Board with adequate time to identify, develop and negotiate value-enhancing alternatives, if considered appropriate, to any such unsolicited bid, to
64
Table of Contentsencourage the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for the Company and to ensure that any proposed transaction is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders. The rights issued under the Rights Plan will become exercisable only if a person, together with its affiliates, associates and joint actors, acquires or announces its intention to acquire beneficial ownership of shares which when totalled with its current holdings total 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding common shares (determined in the manner set out in the Rights Plan), other than by a Permitted Bid. Permitted Bids must be made by way of a take-over bid circular prepared in compliance with applicable securities laws and, among other conditions, must remain open for 60 days. In the event a take-over bid does not meet the Permitted Bid requirements of the Rights Plan, the rights will entitle shareholders, other than any shareholder or shareholders making the take-over bid, to purch ase additional common shares of the Company at a substantial discount to the market price of the common shares at that time.

10B. Memorandum and Articles of Association
Common shares
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares (‘‘Shares’’), with no par value.
The holders of the Shares are entitled to one vote per Share at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and to receive, out of all profits or surplus available for dividends, any dividend declared by the Corporation on the Shares. Any dividend declaration by the Company will require consent from Macquarie Bank as indicated in the MLB facility agreement which is described in detail under Item 5B. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Shares are entitled to receive the remaining property of the Corporation. All shares presently outstanding are duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid. Shares have no preference, conversion, exchange, pre-emptive or cumulative voting rights.
Provisions as to the modification, amendment or variation of such rights and provisions are contained in the Business Companies Act (Ontario) (the ‘‘Act’’) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Certain fundamental changes to the articles of the Company will require the approval of two-thirds of the votes cast on a resolution submitted to a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders called for the purpose of considering the resolution. These items include (i) an amendment to the provisions relating to the outstanding capital of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (iii) an amalgamation of the Company with another company, other than a subsidiary, (iv) a winding-up of the Company, (v) a continuance of the Company into another jurisdiction, (vi) a statutory court approved arrangement under the Act (essentially a corporate reorganization such as an amalgamation, sale of assets, winding-up, etc.), and (vii) a change of name.
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
68
Table of Contentsgrounds 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.

Sec tion 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.
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.

69
Table of Contentsthan 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 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, except for one of our provisions that limits how many directors may be appointed between annual meetings which could delay a change of control. There are no by-law provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.
On June 26, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan subject to TSX and shareholder approval. The purpose of the Rights Plan is to provide shareholders and the Company’s Board of Directors with adequate time to consider and evaluate any unsolicited bid made for the Company, to provide the Board with adequate time to identify, develop and negotiate value-enhancing alternatives, if considered appropriate, to any such unsolicited bid, to encourage the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for the Company and to ensure that any proposed transaction is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders. The rights issued under the Rights Plan will become exercisable only if a person, together with its affiliates, associates and joint actors, acquires or announces its intention to acquire beneficial ownership of shares which when aggregated with its current hold ings total 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding common shares (determined in the manner set out in the Rights Plan), other than by a Permitted Bid. Permitted Bids must be made by way of a take-over bid circular prepared in compliance with applicable securities laws and, among other conditions, must remain open for 60 days. In the event a take-over bid does not meet the Permitted Bid requirements of the Rights Plan, the rights will entitle shareholders, other than any shareholder or shareholders making the take-over bid, to purchase additional common shares of the Company at a substantial discount to the market price of the common shares at that time. A special shareholders’ meeting is being held in December 2007 to approve the Rights Plan.

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 Inves tment 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
71
Table of Contentsa ‘‘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-Can adian 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 T reaty, 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
72
Table of Contents10 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 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 an d 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
73
Table of ContentsHolder’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. (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 applicatio n 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
74
Table of Contentsshareholder’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 c apital 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 own ed, 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 h ow the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.
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.
75
Table of ContentsThe 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 w ill, 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 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. Th is 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
76
Table of Contentstreated 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.

Table of ContentsREPORT 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, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficits and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. 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 mad e 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, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

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 March 28, 2007 [except as to note 18, which is as at June 26, 2007] 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
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-project properties located in Central Vietnam – the Bong Mieu Gold property and the Phuoc Son Gold property.
The Company is exploring and developing its mineral properties. The Company has one gold plant in Vietnam and this plant commenced commercial production effective October 1, 2006. 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 plant and is considered to be in the development stage.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation
These audited 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
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.
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 project to which they relate is placed into production, sold or where management has determined impairment. The capitalized cost of the 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 portion of a mineral project which is sold before that project reaches the production stage will be credited against the cost of the overall project. The sale of a portion of a mineral project which has reached the production stage will result in a gain or loss recorded in the statement of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
Mineral properties are amortized on the basis of units produced in relation to the proven and probable reserves available on the related project following commencement of commercial 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.
Asset Retirement Obligations (‘ARO’)
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 that 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. Change s 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 projects and areas of geological interest until the project to which they relate is placed into production, sold or where management has determined 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 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 and losses arising on translation are included in the statement of operations.
Property, plant and equipment
The Company records building, plant and equipment at cost. Buildings, plant and equipment involved in service, production and support are amortized, net of residual value, using the straight-line method, over the estimated productive life of the asset. Productive lives for these assets range from 3 to 10 years, but the productive lives do not exceed the related estimated mine life based on proven and probable reserves. Computer hardware and software is amortized, net of residual value, using the straight-line method over 3 years. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful lives or productive capacity of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related assets.
In the normal course of our business, the Company has entered into certain leasing arrangements whose conditions meet the criteria for the leases to be classified as capital leases. For capital leases, the Company records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value at the

beginning of the lease term of minimum lease payments over the lease term. In the case of all our leasing arrangements, there is transfer of ownership of the leased assets to the Company at the end of the lease term and therefore the Company amortizes these assets on a basis consistent with our other owned assets.
Asset impairment – Long-lived assets
The Company reviews and evaluates the carrying value of its mineral properties, property, plant and equipment and deferred exploration and development costs for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of related assets or groups of assets might not be recoverable. In assessing the impairment for these assets, if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recorded on a discounted basis. All long-lived assets at a particular operation or project are combined for purpose of performing the recoverability test and estimating future cash flows. Future cash flows are based on management’s best estimates of future recoverable mine production, expected sales prices (considering current and historical prices), production levels and costs and further expenditures. These cash flows are subject to significant measurement u ncertainty and material write-downs could occur if actual results differed from the estimates and assumptions used.
Stock-based compensation
The Company uses the fair-value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors. Under this method, the fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. The majority of the Company’s stock options vest on the passage of time and continued service requirements. For some of the stock options granted, the options vest based on meeting two of three criteria: (a) specified production levels, (b) specified minimum share price and market capitalization and /or (c) minimum threshold of ounces of gold geological resources for the Company. Compensation expense is recognized for these options based on the best estimate of the number of options that are expected to eventually vest and the estimate is revised, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates the expected number of options that vest are likely to differ from initial estimates.
The Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense. Compensation expense is reversed for options that are cancelled prior to vesting.
Any consideration paid upon the exercise of stock options or warrants plus any previously recognized amounts in contributed surplus is credited to common shares.
The Company has a bonus share program that allows employees to elect to take their bonus in either cash or double the cash amount in common shares. If the employee chooses the share bonus, the common shares will be received one year after the last day of the bonus period. If the employee chooses the cash bonus, the cash is received within the same fiscal year. If an employee terminates employment before the one year of service, the bonus reverts back to cash without double up and is paid out on termination. The bonus is recognized as a liability at the time of the award. If the employee elects to be paid in common shares, a further share based equity award is recognized based on the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant and is recognized over the one year additional service period as compensation expense and contributed surplus. No compensation cost is recognized for estimated forfeitures.
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 proceeds 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
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.
Stripping Costs
Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are accounted for as variable production costs that are included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of gold and by-products, such as silver, are recognized when; (i) the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, (ii) reasonable assurance exists regarding the measurement of the consideration that will be derived from the sales of goods, and the extent to which goods may be returned, and (iii) ultimate collection is reasonably assured. The risks and rewards of ownership for the gold and silver reside with the mine site until gold and silver reaches the Zurich airport and the dore bars are consigned for transport to the refinery. Consequently, revenue is recognized when the gold and silver reaches the refinery. The realized sales price per troy ounce of gold is the AM-fixing of the London Bullion Market in US dollars as prescribed under the sales contract. The quantity of ounces sold is determined by applying a variable recovery rate as well as a return rate of 99.95% for gold and 98% for silver.
For accounting purposes, the refining and transport charges are classified as part of cost of sales and revenues from by-products are netted against costs of sales.
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of ore in stockpiles, operating supplies, dore bars and gold in circuit and is recorded at the average cost, determined from the weighted average of the cost of similar items at the beginning of a month and the cost of similar items added during the month. Dore bars and gold in circuit inventory cost includes the laid-down cost of raw materials plus direct labour and an allocation of applicable overhead costs. Gold in circuit inventory represents gold in the processing circuit that has not completed the production process, and is not yet in a saleable form.
Ore in stockpiles is measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained ounces (based on assay data) and estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method). Costs are allocated to a stockpile based on relative
F-8

All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore, including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to mining operations, and removed at the stockpiles average cost per recoverable unit.
Interest Cost Accounting
Interest cost is considered an element of the historical cost of an asset when a period of time is necessary to prepare it for its intended use. The Company capitalizes interest costs to assets under development or construction while development or construction activities are in progress. Capitalizing interest costs ceases when construction of the asset is substantially complete and it is ready for its intended use. The interest rate for capitalization purposes is based on the weighted average rates of Olympus’s outstanding borrowings unless a specific obligation was incurred directly related to the specific asset (e.g. project financing). In that case, the specific interest rate is used as well as the weighted average interest rate on other obligations if the asset expenditures exceed the specific borrowing.

Bong Mieu Gold Property
The Company holds Mining and Investment Licences covering 30 square kilometres 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-pit deposit) and Bong Mieu Underground (an underground deposit) which operated by the French from 1896 to 1941. Olympus acquired this project in 1997. Olympus owns 80% and the Company’s Vietnamesepartner owns 20% of the Bong Mieu property. The Company constructed the Bong Mieu Central open pit mine and associated infrastructure in 2005 and 2006, and commercial gold production commenced in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company must pay a 3% net smelter return royalty equal to 3% of the sales price to the Vietnamese government when the gold is melted in Vietnam and 2% royalty based on 80% of the revenues of Bong Mieu Central to Zedex Minerals Limited.

Phuoc Son Gold Property
The Company 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 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.

The asset retirement obligation relates to the Bong Mieu property in Vietnam. The Company estimated the cost of rehabilitating the site at US$1,083,160 over the next 10 years. Such estimated costs have been discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 6.9%
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 Company drew down the US$2.0 million in the first quarter of 2006. The Facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% and is 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 the ultimate repayment date (currently July 31, 2007 with an option to extend until June 30, 2008). The Company can also accelerate exercise of the warrants if its common shares trade at a 100% p remium to the exercise price for 30 consecutive trading sessions. The Facility agreement specifies some restrictions including, but not limited to, the Company must not incur any indebtedness other than permitted financial indebtedness as defined under the Facility agreement. Permitted indebtedness includes any agreement entered into the ordinary course of business to acquire an asset or service where payment for the asset or service is deferred for a period of not more than 90 days and does not

exceed, in aggregate, an amount of US $100,000 for each transaction party. Each transaction party is defined as Olympus, Bong Mieu and Formwell. The Facility agreement specifies that the transaction parties must not allow any encumbrance over its assets other than a permitted encumbrance or acquire an asset that is subject to an encumbrance that is not a permitted encumbrance. Each transaction party must not sell, assign, transfer or dispose of or partially dispose of any assets except an asset that does not form part of the secured property or an asset which is replaced by a similar asset. Each transaction party must not reduce its capital, buy back or redeem its shares or other securities issued to it or provide any financial assistance. Each transaction party may not make a distribution without the prior written consent of MBL. A distribution is defined as a dividend, distribution or any other amount related to a marketable security issued by the transaction party or interest or fee paid by the transactio n party on any financial accommodation provided by a person holding a direct or indirect interest in the transaction party. The requirement for a written consent for distributions has not had a significant impact on our cash obligations to date as we have not paid out any dividends. Intercompany loans amongst transaction parties cannot be repaid to the lending transaction party unless the lending transaction party uses the proceeds of repayment to repay the MBL Facility. The above restriction on intercompany loan settlement does not significantly impact our ability to meet cash obligations as it does not prevent the provision of intercompany loans and only affects the method and timing of intercompany loan settlements.
6. Advance Exploration Contributions
The advance exploration contributions (the ‘‘Prepaid Contribution’’) due to Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. as at December 31, 2005, were adjusted to US$1,024,226 (C$1,191,175) and represent 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 would settle by issuing Ivanhoe common shares 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’’). On March 21, 2006, the Company issued 3,406,758 common shares to Zedex in full payment of the Prepaid Contribution. Shares were issued at the average closing prices of the Company’s shares over the preceding 20 trading days which was equal to $0.34475.

11. Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations and loan facility.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
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 certain amount of the transactions with respect to the Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son projects 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.
12. Capital Lease Obligation
The company has capital leases at its Bong Mieu Central mine.

15. Memorandum of Agreement
On November 23, 2006, a Memorandum of Agreement and Supplement to Memorandum of Agreement (collectively, the ‘‘MOA’’) was entered into by Abra Mining and Industrial Corporation (‘‘AMIC’’), the Company and Jabel Corporation (‘‘Jabel’’) that allows the Grantee (defined as the
F-16
Table of ContentsOLYMPUS PACIFIC MINERALS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
Company and ‘‘a Philippine national’’) to acquire an option to earn a 60% interest in AMIC’s Capcapo mining tenement (the ‘‘property’’) located in the Province of Abra in the Philippines upon completing a specified level of expenditures on the property.
The MOA is a binding agreement that is conditional on the completion of due diligence program in second quarter 2007 to validate historical drilling information. Once the due diligence procedures are complete and the drilling information is validated, a formal agreement will be signed and a cash payment of U.S. $200,000 will be made by the Grantee to AMIC. Under Philippine law, foreign-owned entities can only hold up to 40% of a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (‘‘MPSA’’). Consequently, the Company can only directly hold 40% in the MPSA and will have to identify a Philippine national corporation to hold the additional 20%. The Phillipine national corporation has not yet been identified. A Philippine national corporation is one which is not more than 40% foreign-owned. Six months after the signing of the formal agreement, the Grantee will issue common shares of the Company to AMIC with a total value of U.S. $350,000 based on the averag e of the trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days preceding the date of the signing of the formal agreement. Once the Grantee has spent U.S. $3 million on exploration and development work on the property, the Grantee will issue to AMIC further common shares of the Company with a total value of U.S. $450,000 based on the average of the trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days preceding their date of issuance. To earn the 60% interest, a cumulative spending of U.S. $6 million by the Grantee on exploration and development must occur by the end of the 5th year after the signing of the formal agreement. The Grantee earns a 20% interest after the first U.S. $1 million is spent, an additional 20% interest after an additional U.S. $2 million has been spent and an additional 20 % interest after an additional U.S. $3 million has been spent. Once the 60% interest has been earned, a new joint venture company (‘‘NEWCO’’) would be formed of which the Grantee would hold a 60%. If the Grantee obtains less than the 60% interest, the Grantee would share in less than 60% of the results of the joint venture. One year after full commercial production is achieved on the property, a royalty would be paid to Jabel, the underlying title holder of the property, equal to either 3% of gross value of production or 6% of annual Profit of NEWCO, as defined in the agreement, whichever is higher.
16. Comparative Consolidated Financial Statements
The comparative consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of the 2006 consolidated financial statements.
17. Subsequent Event
On March 19, 2007, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement, of 21,428,571 shares at a price of $0.56 per share, for gross proceeds of $12,000,000. All shares issued have a hold period in Canada of four months from the closing of the placement. The net proceeds are intended to be used for ongoing exploration, feasibility studies and development work on the Company’s mineral projects and for general corporate purposes.
18. Differences from 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
F-17
Table of ContentsOLYMPUS PACIFIC MINERALS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
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’’) Indus try Guide No.7 are expensed as incurred. Accordingly, certain expenditures are capitalized for Canadian GAAP purposes but expensed under US GAAP. Accordingly, any amortization, impairment charges or write-offs on deferred development and exploration costs under Canadian GAAP would be reversed under US GAAP as these costs have already been expensed.
 |  |
b) | Production Start Date |
Different criteria are applied under Canadian GAAP as compared to U.S. GAAP for determining the production start date of a mine for accounting purposes. The production start date for the Bong Mieu Central Open pit (Ho Gan) mine, which began producing gold during 2006, was July 1, 2006 under U.S. GAAP and October 1, 2006 under Canadian GAAP. Once a mine is considered to be in the production stage, sales, cost of sales, depreciation and amortization and inventory are recorded. As a result, under Canadian GAAP, these sales, cost of sales, depreciation and amortization and inventory were capitalized to deferred development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This results in a further difference in amortization expense as a result of the differing carrying value of the mineral properties and capital assets.
Under U.S. GAAP, the production start date is determined by a number of factors including when all major capital expenditures have been completed for a mine, completion of a reasonable period of testing, the ability to produce gold in a saleable form and whether production / sales and extraction prior to production start date are considered de minimus. Under Canadian GAAP, the production start date is based on whether all major capital expenditures have been made, anticipated activity levels have been reached such as recovery rate, mining, crushing and processing tonnes per day and the ability to consistently extract and produce gold. Under Canadian GAAP, incidental revenue does not necessarily infer that production stage has been reached. The criteria that resulted in the accounting difference would be the de minimus sales / production and extraction criteria resulting in the earlier production start date under U.S. GAAP.
 |  |
c) | Asset Impairment – Long-Lived Assets |
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company’s impairment analysis of the US GAAP carrying values of its mineral properties and property, plant and equipment determined that no impairment had occurred as the estimated probability weighted undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets exceeded the respective carrying values.

f) | US GAAP Recent Developments |
 |  |
(i) | In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued SFAS 155, ‘‘Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments’’ which amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, ‘‘Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.’’ This Statement: |
 |  |  |
| • | Permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation |
 |  |  |
| • | Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133 |
 |  |  |
| • | Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation |
 |  |  |
| • | Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives |
 |  |  |
| • | Amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. |
The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement. Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments that the Company holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Adoption of this Statement is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after December 31, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 |  |
(ii) | In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, ‘‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,’’ which amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement: |
 |  |  |
| • | Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations. |

All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
 |  |  |
| • | Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. |
 |  |  |
| • | Permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
 |  |  |
| • | At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. |
 |  |  |
| • | Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
Adoption of SFAS 156 is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after December 31, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 |  |
(iii) | In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB No. 109’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and provides guidance on recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions that a company has taken or expected to take on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a materia l impact on its consolidated financial statements |
 |  |
(iv) | In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (‘‘SFAS 157’’). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement addresses how to calculate fair value measurements required or permitted under other accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company at this time has not evaluated the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on its financial statements. |
 |  |
(v) | In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, ‘‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 106, and 132(R)’’ (‘‘SFAS 158’’). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income to report the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS158 requires prospective application, recognition and disclosure requirements effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006; these requirements did not have any impact on the Company ’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. Additionally, SFAS 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and obligations at their year-end balance sheet date. This requirement is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 158 to have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

(vi) | In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -Including an Amendment of SFAS 115. SFAS No.159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that currently are not required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected would be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this statement, if any, on its consolidated 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-project properties located in Central Vietnam – the Bong Mieu Gold property and the Phuoc Son Gold property and on project in the Philippines – Capcapo.
The Company is exploring and developing its mineral properties. The Company has one gold plant in Vietnam and this plant commenced commercial production effective October 1, 2006. 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 plant 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.
Change in Accounting Policies
The Company has adopted the following CICA guidelines effective for the Company’s first quarter commencing January 1, 2007:
 |  |  |
| a) | Section 3855 – Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement. Section 3855 requires that all financial assets, except loans and receivables and those classified as held to maturity, and derivative financial instruments, must be measured at fair value. All financial liabilities must be measured at fair value when they are classified as held for trading; otherwise, they are measured at cost. Investments classified as available for sale are reported at fair market value (or mark to market) based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss. The Company, as permitted by CICA Handbook Section 3855, has adopted this section prospectively as of January&nb sp;1, 2007. The adoption of Section 3855 had no effect on the Company’s financial statements except for the prospective reclassification of deferred financing costs from long-term assets to net against the loan facility as required under Section 3855. |
 |  |  |
| b) | Section 1530 – Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is the change in the Company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company’s shareholders and includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings such as unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments. Other comprehensive income includes the holding gains and losses from available-for-sale securities which are not included in net income (loss) until realized. |

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 amounts 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.
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 project to which they relate is placed into production, sold or where management has determined impairment. The capitalized cost of the 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 portion of a mineral project which is sold before that project reaches the production stage will be credited against the cost of the overall project. The sale of a portion of a mineral project which has reached the production stage will result in a gain or loss recorded in the statement of operations.
Mineral properties are amortized on the basis of units produced in relation to the proven and probable reserves available on the related project following commencement of commercial 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.
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 result 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 that 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 projects and areas of geological interest until the project to which they relate is placed into production, sold or
F-27
Table of ContentsOLYMPUS PACIFIC MINERALS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2007
All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
where management has determined 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 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 and losses arising on translation are included in the statement of operations.
Property, plant and equipment
The Company records building, plant and equipment at cost. Buildings, plant and equipment involved in service, production and support are amortized, net of residual value, using the straight-line method, over the estimated productive life of the asset. Productive lives for these assets range from 3 to 10 years, but the productive lives do not exceed the related estimated mine life based on proven and probable reserves. Computer hardware and software is amortized, net of residual value, using the straight-line method over three years. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful lives or productive capacity of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related assets.
In the normal course of our business, the Company has entered into certain leasing arrangements whose conditions meet the criteria for the leases to be classified as capital leases. For capital leases, the Company records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value at the beginning of the lease term of minimum lease payments over the lease term. In the case of all our leasing arrangements, there is transfer of ownership of the leased assets to the Company at the end of the lease term and therefore the Company amortizes these assets on a basis consistent with our other owned assets.
Asset impairment – Long-lived assets
The Company reviews and evaluates the carrying value of its mineral properties, property, plant and equipment and deferred exploration and development costs for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of related assets or groups of assets might not be recoverable. In assessing the impairment for these assets, if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recorded on a discounted basis. All long-lived assets at a particular operation or project are combined for purpose of performing the recoverability test and estimating future cash flows. Future cash flows are based on management’s best estimates of future recoverable mine production, expected sales prices (considering current and historical prices), production levels and costs and further expenditures. These cash flows are subject to significant measurement u ncertainty and material write-downs could occur if actual results differed from the estimates and assumptions used.
Stock-based compensation
The Company uses the fair-value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors. Under this method, the fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. The majority of the Company’s stock options vest on the passage of time and continued service requirements. For some of the stock options granted, the
F-28
Table of ContentsOLYMPUS PACIFIC MINERALS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2007
All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
options vest based on meeting two of three criteria: (a) specified production levels, (b) specified minimum share price and market capitalization and /or (c) minimum threshold of ounces of gold geological resources for the Company. Compensation expense is recognized for these options based on the best estimate of the number of options that are expected to eventually vest and the estimate is revised, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates the expected number of options that vest are likely to differ from initial estimates. The Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense.
Any consideration paid upon the exercise of stock options or warrants plus any previously recognized amounts in contributed surplus is credited to common shares.
The Company has a bonus share program that allows employees to elect to take their bonus in either cash or double the cash amount in common shares. If the employee chooses the share bonus, the common shares will be received one year after the last day of the bonus period. If the employee chooses the cash bonus, the cash is received within the same fiscal year. If an employee terminates employment before the one year of service, the bonus reverts back to cash without double up and is paid out on termination. The bonus is recognized as a liability at the time of the award. If the employee elects to be paid in common shares, a further share based equity award is recognized based on the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant and is recognized over the one year additional service period as compensation expense and contributed surplus. No compensation cost is recognized for estimated forfeitures.
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 proceeds 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 from any of the outstanding options and warrants.
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.
Stripping Costs
Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are accounted for as variable production costs that are included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of gold and by-products, such as silver, are recognized when; (i) the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, (ii) reasonable assurance exists
F-29
Table of ContentsOLYMPUS PACIFIC MINERALS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2007
All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated
regarding the measurement of the consideration that will be derived from the sales of goods, and the extent to which goods may be returned, and (iii) ultimate collection is reasonably assured. The risks and rewards of ownership for the gold and silver reside with the mine site until gold and silver reaches the Zurich airport and the dore bars are consigned for transport to the refinery. Consequently, revenue is recognized when the gold and silver reaches the refinery. The realized sales price per troy ounce of gold is the AM-fixing of the London Bullion Market in US dollars as prescribed under the sales contract. The quantity of ounces sold is determined by applying a variable recovery rate as well as a return rate of 99.95% for gold and 98% for silver.
For accounting purposes, the refining and transport charges are classified as part of cost of sales and revenues from by-products are netted against costs of sales.
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of ore in stockpiles, operating supplies, dore bars and gold in circuit and is recorded at the average cost, determined from the weighted average of the cost of similar items at the beginning of a month and the cost of similar items added during the month. Dore bars and gold in circuit inventory cost includes the laid-down cost of raw materials plus direct labour and an allocation of applicable overhead costs. Gold in circuit inventory represents gold in the processing circuit that has not completed the production process, and is not yet in a saleable form.
Ore in stockpiles is measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained ounces (based on assay data) and estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method). Costs are allocated to a stockpile based on relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore, including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to mining operations, and removed at the stockpiles average cost per recoverable unit.
Interest Cost Accounting
Interest cost is considered an element of the historical cost of an asset when a period of time is necessary to prepare it for its intended use. The Company capitalizes interest costs to assets under development or construction while development or construction activities are in progress. Capitalizing interest costs ceases when construction of the asset is substantially complete and it is ready for its intended use. In that case, the specific interest rate is used as well as the weighted average interest rate on other obligations if the asset expenditures exceed the specific borrowing.

(1) | Accumulated amortization relates to the Bong Mieu central mine which commenced commercial production on October 1, 2006. |
(2) | Write-off of $438,931 of Deferred Exploration costs relates to certain areas of the Bong Mieu property where exploration activities did not produce positive results. This write-off took place in Q4 2006. |
(3) | During fourth quarter 2006, management determined that the Bong Mieu Central mine was not reaching originally estimated future throughput. Consequently, an impairment charge of $4,280,000 was taken on the Bong Mieu Central (Hogan) deferred exploration and development costs. |
Bong Mieu Gold Property
The Company holds Mining and Investment Licences covering 30 square kilometres 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-pit deposit) and Bong Mieu Underground (an underground deposit) which has operated by the French from 1896 to 1941. Olympus acquired this project in 1997. Olympus owns 80% and the Company’s Vietnamesepartner owns 20% of the Bong Mieu property. The Company constructed the Bong Mieu Central open pit mine and associated infrastructure in 2005 and 2006, and commercial gold production commenced in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company must pay a 3% net smelter return royalty equal to 3% of the sales price to the Vietnamese government when the gold is smelted in Vietnam and 2% royalty based on 80% of the revenues of Bong Mieu Central to Zedex Minerals Limited.
Phuoc Son Gold Property
The Company 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 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.

10. Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations and loan facility. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and capital leases, payables and accruals is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of short-term debt approximated fair value primarily due to the floating nature of the interest rate on the loan facility.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
Currency risk
The Company wss exposed to financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. These potential currency fluctuations could have an impact on expenditures, production costs and Company profitability. At present, 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 certain amount of the transactions with respect to the Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son projects 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.
Interest rate risk
The Company was exposed to interest rate risk as interest on the variable interest rate U.S.$2.0 million loan facility fluctuated due to changes in the LIBOR market interest rates. There were no derivative instruments related to interest rates outstanding as at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Upon full exercise of the option described in the MOA, Newco will be 40% owned by Kadabra, 20% owned by a Philippine national that the Company will identify (Philco), and 40% owned by AMIC. Collectively, the 40% ownership of Kadabra and the 20% ownership of Philco in Newco represent the 60% interest in the Property that is subject of the MOA.
Under Philippine law, an entity holding a MPSA must be at least 60% owned by Philippine nationals. A corporation is considered a Philippine national if at least 60% of its outstanding shares is owned by Filipinos or Philippine entities that are themselves at least 60% owned by Filipinos. Since Newco will be a co-holder of the Property, this restriction applies to Newco. However, Newco’s structure complies with this restriction because the total of Philco’s and AMIC’s shares in Newco will, upon exercise of the option, meet the minimum 60% Philippine national ownership requirement.
Further details on the MOA are as follows. Under the terms of the MOA, six months after the signing of a formal agreement, the Grantee will cause Olympus to issue common shares to AMIC with a total value of US$350,000 based on the average of the trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days preceding the date of the signing of the formal agreement. Once the Grantee has spent US$3 million on exploration and development work on the Capcapo Property, the Grantee will cause the Company to issue to AMIC further common shares of the Company with a total value of US$450,000 based on the average of the trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days preceding their date of issuance.
For the Grantee to earn a 60% interest in the Capcapo Property, a cumulative spending of US$6 million by the Grantee on exploration and development must occur by the end of the fifth year after the signing of the formal agreement. The Grantee earns a 20% interest after the first US$1 million is spent, an additional 20% interest after an additional US$2 million has been spent and an additional 20% interest after an additional US$3 million has been spent. Once the 60% interest has been earned, Newco will be formed as described above. On the other hand, if the Grantee obtains less than the 60% interest, the Grantee would proportionately share in less than 60% of the results of the joint venture.
One year after full commercial production is achieved on the Capcapo Property, the royalty mentioned above would be paid to Jabel. The royalty would be equal to either 3% of gross value of production or 6% of annual profit of Newco, as defined in the MOA, whichever is higher. The MOA also provides the Company with a right of first refusal over MPSA No. 141-99-CAR (another Jabel tenement in the vicinity) and the area of the neighbouring EXPA that is in excess of the two-kilometer radius buffer zone. If exploration results are favourable, then the focus would be to construct a mine in order to extract, process and produce gold, with the future impact on the Company of higher capital expenditures associated with mine construction and upon completion of the mine construction, increased production and sales.
