3.A.3. Exchange Rates

In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CDN$). The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (US$).

Table No. 4 sets forth the rate of exchange for the Canadian Dollar at the end of the five most recent fiscal years ended December 31st, the average rates for the period, and the range of high and low rates for the period. The data for the Nine Months Ended 9/30/2003 and 9/30/2002 is provided. The data for each month during the previous six months is also provided.

For purposes of this table, the rate of exchange means the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The table sets forth the number of Canadian Dollars required under that formula to buy one U.S. Dollar. The average rate means the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the period.

3.C. Reasons For The Offer And Use Of Proceeds

--- No Disclosure Necessary ---

3.D. Risk Factors

Risks Associated with Mining

The Company has no known reserves on its properties.

Despite exploration work on its mineral claims, no known bodies of commercial ore or economic deposits have been established on any of the Company’s mineral properties. In addition, the Company is in its early stages of exploration and substantial additional work will be required in order to determine if any economic deposits occur on the Company’s properties. Even in the event commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, the mining properties might not be brought into a state of commercial production. Finding mineral deposits is dependent on a number of factors, not the least of which is the technical skill of exploration personnel involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent on a number of factors, some of which are particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as metal prices. Most of these factors are beyon d the control of the entity conducting such mineral exploration. The Company is an exploration stage company with no history of pre-tax profit. There can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will be profitable in the future.

The Company has not surveyed any of its properties

The Company has only done a preliminary legal survey of the boundaries of any of these properties, and therefore, in accordance with the laws of the jurisdictions in which these properties are situated, their existence and area could be in doubt. The Company has not obtained formal title reports on any of its properties and title may be in doubt. If title is disputed, the Company will have to defend its ownership through the courts. In the event of an adverse judgment, the Company would lose its property rights.

Mineral Operations are subject to government regulations

Mining operations are subject to a wide range of government regulations such as restrictions on production, price controls, tax increases, expropriation of property, environmental protection, protection of agricultural territory or changes in conditions under which minerals may be marketed. Mining operations may also be affected by claims of native peoples, any of which could have the effect of reducing or preventing the Company from exploiting any possible mineral reserves on its properties.

Mineral operations are subject to market forces outside of the Company’s control

The marketability of minerals is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the entity involved in their mining and processing. These factors include market fluctuations, government regulations relating to prices, taxes royalties, allowable production, import, exports and supply and demand. One or more of these risk elements could have an impact on costs of an operation and if significant enough, reduce the profitability of the operation and threaten its continuation.

The mining industry is highly competitive

The Company will be required to compete in the future directly with other corporations that may have greater resources. Such corporations could outbid the Company for potential projects or produce minerals at lower costs.

Mining and Mineral Exploration has substantial operational risks.

The Company may become subject to liability for cave-ins and other hazards of mineral exploration against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of high premium costs or other reasons. Payment of such liabilities would reduce funds available for acquisition or exploration of mineral prospects and would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Financing Risks

The Company is likely to require additional financing

The Company, while engaged in the business of exploiting mineral properties, has sufficient funds to undertake its planned current exploration projects. If the Company’s exploration programs are successful, additional financing will be required to develop the mineral properties identified and to place them into commercial production. The exploration of the Company’s mineral properties is, therefore, dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain financing through the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. Such sources of financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain such financing may result in delay or indefinite postponement of exploration work on the Company’s mineral properties, as well as the possible loss of such properties.

Currency Fluctuation

While engaged in the business of exploiting mineral properties, the Company’s operations outside of Canada make it subject to foreign currency fluctuation and such fluctuations may have adversely affected the Company’s financial positions and results. Management may not take any steps to address foreign currency fluctuations that will eliminate all adverse effects and, accordingly, the Company may suffer losses due to adverse foreign currency fluctuations.

The Company Operates in Developing Countries

The Company currently has three properties, the Cacamuya and Cedros, located in Honduras, and the Rio Luna property in Nicaragua. Honduras and Nicaragua are developing nations with a less developed economy and infrastructure and are located in Central America, an area of some historical political instability. By operating in developing nations, the Company is exposed to additional risks, including economic and political risks which could result in the Company losing access to its properties and/or being unable to raise additional capital in order to explore its properties. If the Company is unable to adequately explore its Central American properties, it would have a material adverse effect on the financial and operating position of the Company.

Dependence Upon Key Management Employees

While engaged in the business of exploiting mineral properties, the nature of the Company’s business, its ability to continue its exploration of potential projects, and to develop a competitive edge in the marketplace, depended, in large part, on its ability to attract and maintain qualified key management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and the Company may not be able to attract and retain such personnel. The Company’s growth has depended, and in the future will continue to depend, on the efforts of its key management employees. Loss of any of these people would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has no contracts with its key employees or key-man life insurance.

Conflicts of Interest.

Certain of the directors and officers of the Company are also directors and/or officers and/or shareholders of other natural resource companies. While the Company was engaged in the business of exploiting mineral properties, such associations may have given rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The Directors of the Company are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interest that they may have in any project or opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict must disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, the directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at the time.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities of the Company

Stock Market Price and Volume Volatility.

The market for the common shares of the Company may be highly volatile for reasons both related to the performance of the Company or events pertaining to the industry (ie, mineral price fluctuation/high production costs/accidents) as well as factors unrelated to the Company or its industry. In particular, market demand for products incorporating minerals in their manufacture fluctuates from one business cycle to the next, resulting in change of demand for the mineral and an attendant change in the price for the mineral. The Company’s common shares can be expected to be subject to volatility in both price and volume arising from market expectations, announcements and press releases regarding the Company’s business, and changes in estimates and evaluations by securities analysts or other events or factors. In recent years the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly small-capitalization companies such as the Company, have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values, or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, the shares of the Company’s common shares can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which the Company will have no control. Further, despite the existence of a market for trading the Company’s common shares in Canada, stockholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of common shares in the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of the stock.

Dilution Through Employee/Director/Consultant Options.

Because the success of the Company is highly dependent upon its respective employees, the Company may in the future grant to some or all of its key employees, directors and consultants options to purchase shares of its Common Stock as non-cash incentives. Those options may be granted at exercise prices below those for the Common Stock prevailing in the public trading market at the time or may be granted at exercise prices equal to market prices at times when the public market is depressed. To the extent that significant numbers of such options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the other stockholders of the Company may be diluted.

Control by Principal Stockholders, Officers and Directors Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Stockholders.

The Company’s officers, directors and greater-than-five-percent stockholders (and their affiliates), acting together, have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval (including the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) and to control the Company’s management and affairs. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could materially adversely affect the market price of the Company’s stock.

History of Net Losses.

The Company has had a history of losses and there is no assurance that it can reach profitability in the future. The Company will require significant additional funding to meet its business objectives. Capital will need to be available to help maintain and to expand exploration on the Company’s principal exploration property. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If equity financing is required, as expected, then such financings could result in significant dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient financing, the Company might have to dramatically slow exploration efforts and/or lose control of its projects. The Company has historically obtained the preponderance of its financing through the issuance of equity, there is no limit to the number of authorized common shares, and the Company has no current plans to obtai n financing through means other than equity financing.

U.S. Investors May Not Be Able to Enforce Their Civil Liabilities Against Us or Our Directors, Controlling Persons and Officers

It may be difficult to bring and enforce suits against the Company. The Company is a corporation incorporated in the province of Alberta under the Alberta Corporation Act. A majority of the Company’s directors and officers are residents of Canada and substantially all of the Company’s assets and its subsidiaries are located outside of the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process in the United States upon those directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There is substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons or the Company predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.

Broker-Dealers May Be Discouraged From Effecting Transactions In Our Common Shares Because They Are Considered Penny Stocks And Are Subject To The Penny Stock Rules

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on NASD broker-dealers who make a market in "a penny stock". A penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding US$200,000, or US$300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.

In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the US Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

History

The Company was incorporated on 2/2/1995 as “First Point Capital Corp.” under the laws of the Province of Alberta as a Junior Capital Pool (“JCP”) and commenced business in June 1996. The name was changed to “First Point Minerals Corp.” on 1/10/1997. The Company is extra-provincially registered in the Province of British Columbia and is a reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.

The Company completed its “major transaction” in December 1996. This “major transaction” satisfied Alberta and CDNX regulations regarding becoming an active company. The transaction involved the acquisition of three mineral properties, all in Canada. The properties acquired were all with non-affiliated, arms length parties. The three original properties were:

Rock Creek, British Columbia, a gold exploration property located 20 kilometers east of the town of Osoyoos. The Company could earn a 50% interest by spending $75,000 on exploration over 6 years and paying the vendors $110,000, in cash or shares at the Company’s option, over three years. After conducting preliminary exploration and a small drill program with disappointing results, the Company abandoned the option. A total of $10,000 was paid to the vendors.

Mad Property, British Columbia, a gold exploration property located 25 kilometers north of the town of Lillooet. The Company could earn a 100% interest in the property by spending $125,000 on exploration and issuing 260,000 common shares of First Point before December 31, 1997. After conducting preliminary exploration and a small drill program with disappointing results, the property was returned to the vendor. No consideration was paid to the vendor.

South Red Lake, Ontario, a gold exploration property located 10 kilometers south of the town of Red Lake. The Company could earn a 50% interest in the property by paying the vendor $356,000 before December 31, 2003. A small exploration program consisting of geological mapping, stream sediment and soil sampling was completed in 1997. As results were disappointing, the property was returned to the vendor. No consideration was paid to the vendor.

4.B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Description and General Discussion

The primary focus of the Company is exploration for gold and silver in Central America. First Point's key projects are the Cacamuyá gold-silver property in Honduras and the Rio Luna gold-silver property in Nicaragua. Also, the Company is exploring the Cedros silver-zinc-lead property in Honduras; First Point also has entered into a joint venture with BHP Billiton World Exploration Inc. (“BHP Billiton”) whereby both parties contribute on a 50/50 basis to a US $200,000 exploration program in Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador, seeking primarily porphyry copper-gold mineralization. The Company is also exploring for gold in Peru.

Three-Year History

Year Ending December 31, 2000

During the year, the Company abandoned its interest in the Amador, Water Canyon and Big Springs properties in the USA and its interest in the Devok property in Indonesia. The Company wrote-off its deferred exploration expenditures accumulated on these properties as results from all four of these properties did not warrant further work. The Company also terminated its agreement with Minera Sasha S.A. de C.V., a Mexican Corporation, to conduct mineral exploration in certain parts of Mexico because the results from the evaluation of the data base acquired from Minera Sasha were not sufficiently encouraging.

Year Ended December 31, 2001

In March 2001, the Company was granted an option to earn the remaining 40% interest in the Cacamuyá Property in Honduras; refer to ITEM #4.D.a. for a more detailed discussion of the acquisition of the property.

In 2001, the Company acquired nine platinum-palladium properties in Ontario and Quebec. These include the four properties comprising the Mann project (the Frederick House, Garnet, Hall, and Devonshire properties) plus the Puddy Lake and Aurora properties (all in Ontario), and the three properties comprising the Lac Watts project (the Dinosaur, Nuuilic Lakes and Reception River properties) in Quebec, Canada. All but the Frederick House property were acquired by staking and the Company held a 100% interest in each of these properties.

On 6/7/2001, the Company issued 100,000 common shares to Battle Mountain Gold as partial payment for the option to acquire Battle Mountain’s 60% interest in the Cacamuyá property; refer to ITEM #4.D.a. for a more detailed discussion of the acquisition of the property.

In December 2001, the Company modified its agreement with Five Star Mining S.A., a Honduras corporation, whereby the Company can earn a 100% interest in the Cedros Property in Honduras; refer to ITEM #4.D.f. for a more detailed discussion of the acquisition of the property.

Year Ended December 31, 2002

In December, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Rio Luna property in Nicaragua from Inversiones de Terra Nova; refer to the Company’s Form 6-K filed January 30, 2003 and its Annual Information Form contained in the Company’s 6-K filed April 14, 2003 for a more detailed discussion of the acquisition of the property. The results of the drilling and sampling programs for the Company’s four platinum-palladium properties acquired during 2001 in Ontario were disappointing, and the Company elected to return the Frederick House property to the vendor and abandoned the Garnet, Hall, Devonshire, Puddy Lake and Aurora properties and wrote off all costs associated with them, being an aggregate of $175,878.

Nine months ended September 30, 2003

In February, the Company entered into an exploration and property option agreement with BHP Billiton to explore porphyry copper-gold deposits in Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador; refer to the Company’s Form 6-K filed April 14, 2003 for a more detailed discussion of the joint venture agreement.

The results of the sampling programs for the Company’s Lac Watts platinum-palladium properties acquired during 2001 in Quebec were disappointing. As a consequence, the Company elected to relinquish its interest in these properties during the period, in order to focus its financial and technical resources on the gold-silver properties in Honduras and Nicaraqua, and the exploration joint venture with BHP Billiton. The amounts incurred in evaluating these properties were immaterial, and were expensed during fiscal 2002.

4.B.a. Cacamuyá Property/Honduras

Gold/Silver Exploration

Option to Earn 100% Interest

[firstpoint2002annualrepor003.jpg]

Exploration at Cacamuyá to date has defined a mineralized system of 4km by 3km, and not yet closed off, with two styles of gold-silver mineralization. The original discovery were epithermal veins which have now been identified in several locations on the property including Cerro Chachagua, Hilo Libre, the D4 area, and the historic Carmen-Esperanza mines.

To date, there have only been 35 holes drilled on Cacamuyá which includes the 12 Reverse Circulation holes recently completed by the Company on the Filo Lapa and Hilo Libre areas.

Mineralization

Styles of precious metal, low sulphidation epithermal mineralization currently identified on the property include low-grade, disseminated, hot spring-related mineralization and high-grade, structurally controlled quartz vein hosted mineralization. Nine principal areas of mineralization are currently identified within the Target Area, the salient characteristics of which are summarized below.

Targets, styles and orientation of mineralization:

______________________________________________________________________________

Target	Style	Strike(^o)	Dip(^o)	Dimensions
Cerro Chachagua	Vein	105	55-65s	760m strike, 150m depth
Carmen-Esperanza	Vein	120	50s	250m strike 50m depth
Henry’s	Vein	105-120	50-65s	240m strike
East Zone	Vein	0-025	Unknown	400m x 100m
D5	Disseminated/Vein	~035	Unknown	350m x 70m
D4	Vein
El Manglar	Disseminated/Vein	~035	Unknown	800m x 180m, Core anomaly = 250m x 180m
Filo Lapa	Disseminated	~035	Unknown	300m x 20m-80m
Hilo Libre	Disseminated/Vein	~010	Unknown	630m x 100m

______________________________________________________________________________

The Cerro Chachagua vein system, although poorly exposed on surface due to a thick scree cover, has been traced along strike through local surface exposure and drilling for 760 meters and to a depth of 150 meters below surface. The vein is an east (104^o) striking, steeply south-dipping (60^o) mineralized structure best exposed on surface at the San Isidro Adit, where it appears as a zone of quartz veining, quartz vein breccia and massive silicification, grading 4.9 g/t gold and 80 g/t silver over four meters (all measurements in metric grams). To date, 18 drill holes totaling 3,259 meters have been drilled along a 580 strike and to a depth of 150 meters. Seven drill holes have intersected the vein.

The Carmen-Esperanza veins are exposed in underground workings north of the Rio Iguazala, strike southeast and dip moderately to the southwest. Based on underground and surface exposure, these veins are exposed for 250 meters along strike and 50 meters vertical extent. The veins are hosted within rhyolite tuff of the upper volcanic sequence that have been pervasively sericite altered. Sampling of the underground by the Rosario Mining in 1929 indicate that the veins average 0.5 meters in width and average between 15 g/t and 30 g/t gold. Mining by the Central American Mining Company exploited the veins for 100 meters along strike and 50 meters down dip. The down dip extension of these veins below river level into the lower volcanic unit is untested. Five trenches excavated by Breakwater on the hilltop above the Carmen-Esperanza veins carry between 15g/t and 22 g/t silver over widths of 3-to-3.5 meters. These res ults have not yet been followed-up.

Henry’s vein is a new showing discovered by the Company in 2000. The vein is hosted by strata of the upper volcanics, south of the Rio Iguazala where it is exposed along the main access road on the property. Veining occurs over a 10 meter wide zone and has been traced along surface for 240 meters.

The East zone, located north of the Cerro Chachagua vein, is a poorly defined zone of quartz veining and quartz breccia float. Trenching along this trend has not exposed any clear vein orientations although boulder concentrations in trench walls support a 025 degree strike and steep to moderate west dip. To date, detailed mapping has traced vein and quartz breccia float over a northeast elongate zone measuring 400 meters long and up to 100 meters wide.

The D5 Target is located along a north-northeast ridge of silicified and quartz vein material bounded by a fault to the east. Patches of silicification, abundant vein float and narrow south-dipping quartz veins occur in red saprolite and minor heterolithic lapilli tuff of the lower volcanic sequence. Hole DH05-95 intersected 1.2 g/t gold over 7.6 meters in a zone containing quartz vein material of uncertain orientation. Hole DH04-95, collared 230 meters to the east, also intersected significant gold and until the recent drill program was thought to be related to south dipping quartz veins which had been mapped in the area and previously called the D4 Target. Intersections in DH04-95, along with the 2.2 g/t gold over seven meters from a trench to the north, could be related to a broader zone of alteration and quartz veins associated with the north-northeast striking D5 Target. Based on these drill intercepts, s oil geochemistry and detailed mapping, the D5 Target is currently defined over a northeast elongate 350m x 70m area. Exploration in 2002, totaling 356 meters in six machine trenches intercepted several zones of gold mineralization within the broader geochemical anomaly including 8.1 g/t gold and 23 g/t silver over a 19.4 meters apparent width, 0.73 g/t gold over 22 meters and 0.36 g/t over 69.4 meters.

The D4 Target, located 300 meters north of Cerro Chachagua and between the D5 Trend and East Zone was initially identified by a multi-element soil geochemical anomaly in an area of little or no outcrop. Drilling by Minera BMG in 1995 intercepted two zones of mineralization,including the D4 Target. Trenching in the D4 Target in 2002 intersected a quartz vein with a moderate southerly dip which carried 15.7 g/t gold over 0.52 meters true width.

The El Manglar trend is located southwest of Carmen-Esperanza. It starts north of Filo Lapa and extends northeast to Henry’s vein for a distance of 800 meters. It is primarily based on zones of siliceous breccias and rhyolite flow domes hosted within upper volcanic strata.

Filo Lapa lies off the southern end of the El Manglar target, with which it shares many of the same geological features. Soil geochemistry in the Filo Lapa area has defined an anomaly measuring 720-by-260 meters. Within this broader soil anomaly the Company has defined a higher-grade core measuring 300 meters long and between 20-and-80 meters wide, defined by 732 meters of mechanical and hand trenching. The core zone is located at the north end of the soil geochemical anomaly. Within the core area the maximum sample value obtained in trenching is 1.62 g/t gold, suggesting that gold mineralization is uniformly distributed, reflecting the pervasive nature of the strong alteration and mineralizing event.

The Hilo Libre area is a north trending zone of quartz breccia veining and sinter; the center of which is located 800 meters north of Carmen – Esperanza. The zone measures 630-by-100 meters. The zone is hosted at the contact between andesite tuff breccias of the lower volcanic sequence and biotite hornblende bearing lapilli tuffs of the upper volcanic sequence. Sampling of a quartz breccia vein, located in old workings at the south end of the Hilo Libre zone returned 12.5 g/t gold over a true width of 2.9 meters. In this area the vein strikes north, is sub-vertical and measures 2-to-3 meters wide. Sampling along this strike of this structure has also returned 6.8 g/t gold over 2 meters and 5 g/t gold over 3 meters. One of these was re-sampled and returned less than 1 g/t gold, indicating a probable nugget effect. Located 280 meters northwest, another area of old workings (“La Loma”) exposes a northwest striking, moderately northwest dipping zone of sinter cross cut by quartz breccia vein. Sampling of the quartz breccia vein has returned 8.53 g/t gold over 1.3 meters. The relation between these two sampled areas is not clear and is the focus of continuing exploration by the Company.

Trenching

Since 1999, the Company has completed 3,345 meters of hand and mechanized trenching. Hand trenches are excavated using a crew of four to six workers to a depth of 1.0-to-1.5 meters. Cleaning of surfaces at the base of outcrops to provide good surfaces for sampling are included as hand trenching. Mechanical trenching employs an excavator and trenches can be dug to a depth of up to 7 meters, although all but a few test trenches were dug to a depth of 3-to-4 meters. These trenches exposed in-situ saprolite and near surface outcrop. Trenches are routinely back-filled after mapping and sampling are completed.

At Filo Lapa, work by the Company has defined a higher-grade core measuring 300 meters long and between 20 and 80 meters wide as defined by 732 meters of mechanical and hand trenching. The core zone is defined by a 0.5 g/t gold cutoff; the unweighted sample average of all samples within the core zone is 0.98 g/t gold (a lower average grade of 0.9 g/t gold was released by the Company on 3/25/2002 to compensate for re-calculation using weighted averages). Continuous channel samples have been taken ranging from less than one to 12 meters depending on alteration or rock type characteristics. Hand trenches and the deeper machine trenches give very similar results, but the machine trenches allow better mapping of geology and can be dug much more rapidly.

Within the core area the maximum sample value obtained in trenching is 1.62 g/t gold, suggesting that mineralization is uniformly distributed. A uniform distribution for gold is supported by the uniform and pervasive nature of sericite alteration. To further identify controls on gold mineralization, the Company selectively sampled zones of intense silicification hosted within pervasive sericite alteration; results from these returned a similar range of values as sericite altered rock confirming the disseminated nature of the mineralization.

Eighty meters northeast of trench MT#2, in the D4 Target area, a single 64-meter trench intersected a quartz vein with a moderate southerly dip which carried 15.7 g/t gold over 0.52 meters true width.

Drilling

A 1,218.3 meter (9 hole) diamond drill program was conducted on the Cacamuyá Property from 7/7/2000 to 8/14/2000. The 2000 drill program focused on follow-up work on the Cerro Chachagua and D4 structures, which were originally tested in a two phase, 14 hole diamond drill program by Minera BMG and joint venture partner Breakwater Resources between 1995 and 1997 as reported above.

A total of 78 core samples, with lengths of 0.45 to 5.97 meters were sampled for geochemical analysis during the course of the 2000 drill program. Weighted averages of significant results on a hole-by-hole basis are presented below.

Sampling and Analysis

Rock samples were collected either as grab samples from float or outcrop, or as chip channel samples from outcrop. Chip channel samples are collected as small chips approximately every 10 cm for the length of the sample. Sample weights average between 1-to-2 kg. Rock samples are then shipped to CAS laboratories in Tegucigalpa for preparation. Samples from both hand and machine trenches are collected as continuous chip channel samples over the length of the sample. Samples are collected from the trench wall approximately 5 cm from the floor, unless noted otherwise. The weight of the samples vary depending on the sample length, but are never less than 1 kilogram and as high as 5 kilograms. Trench samples are then shipped to CAS laboratories in Tegucigalpa for preparation.

Each run of drilled core is placed in sequential order in wooden core boxes, separated by wooden footage markers. Footage markers are converted to meters and core recoveries calculated. Drill core is then logged and geologically significant sample intervals identified. Mineralized intervals are photographed and then cut using a rock saw with halved cores representing fifty percent of the mineralized interval placed into a clean, new plastic bag along with a sample ticket. Each sample bag is secured with a tamper proof plastic tie. The remaining halves of the core are returned to the core box with the second half the sample ticket stapled into the core box at the beginning of each sample interval. Sample weights were typically 1-to-2 kg. Drill core samples are then shipped to CAS laboratories for preparation.

Drilling was conducted with a Longyear Super 38 by Tegucigalpa-based drill contractor R and R Incorporated, S. de R.L., the contractor for all previous drilling on the property. All holes in the program were collared with HQ and only one had to be reduced (DH16-00) to NQ because of bad ground. Recovery was generally good to excellent, with only short sections of less than 75% recovery. Intervals with less than 75% recovery were usually obtained from un-mineralized fault intersections and do not impact drill results from the property.

Drill core samples submitted to CAS de Honduras, S. de R.L. in Tegucigalpa for preparation were also analyzed for gold using a 30 gram split and fire assay with atomic absorption finish. Samples containing gold were re-analyzed by CAS using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Splits of core pulps, plus splits of all sediment, soil, rock and trench samples were then sent to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver, Canada for 35-element ICP-MS analysis.

Security of the Samples

Sampling and sample shipping was conducted by the staff of the Company under the direct supervision of Dr. Peter Bradshaw, P.Eng., and Dr. Ron Britten, P.Eng.

Mineral Resources and Mineral reserves

There are no known ore reserves on the Cacamuyá Property. The Cacamuyá Property is without a known body of commercial ore and the proposed program is an exploratory search for ore.

Mining Operations

This is no surface or underground plant or equipment on the Cacamuyá Property.

4.B.b. Cedros Property/Honduras

Silver/Zinc Exploration

Option to Earn 100% Interest

[firstpoint2002annualrepor004.jpg]

The Company’s exploration has focused on geological mapping and trenching within a silver-zinc-lead soil geochemical anomaly measuring approximately two by three kilometers. Within this area the geology changes from large intrusions of intermediate to acid composition in the south, hosted in carbonate rocks, to a series of small stocks, dykes and sills of similar composition to the north. The carbonate rocks are generally more arenaceous in the south and grade to more pure limestone in the north. The styles of mineralization also change from broader, disseminated bulk mineable silver-zinc at Carmelo Sur and Cedros Abajo in the south to the historically mined massive sulphide replacement styles at Belen, Azul and El Carmelo in the north. Trenches in the south, in strongly oxidized and leached outcrop, have encouraging values. These are prime targets for bulk-mineable silver-zinc in carbonates and other sed iments adjacent to the major intrusions. Trenches to the north have encountered much higher grades related to massive sulphide style carbonate replacement mineralization.

The Company has expended $1,126,110 on acquisition/exploration through 12/31/2002, including $7,793 in 2002.

4.B.c.

Rio Luna Property/Nicaragua

Gold/Silver Exploration

Option to Purchase 100% Interest

The Company optioned the Rio Luna property from the owners in late December 2002. In early 2003, the Company began excavating a series of hand-dug trenches across the principal epithermal vein structure, known as the “El Paraiso” vein system. As a result of this work, the length of the mineralized structure was extended to in excess of 5 kilometers. Along its length, the El Paraiso system ranges in width from two to ten meters and is mainly hosted in andesitic volcanic rocks of Tertiary Age.

Results from the first seven trenches were encouraging, as a result of which, the Company expanded the program by digging, sampling and mapping an additional 40 trenches, using a combination of hand labour and excavating machines. In addition, the Company completed a systematic stream sediment survey over the entire 126 km² concession in an attempt to identify other mineralized structures. This program was completed in early April, revealing several areas with anomalous gold values and follow-up mapping and sampling were initiated. As a result of this work, three new quartz veins were discovered, with a combined length in excess of two kilometers.

Sampling demonstrated that the mineralized intervals are much wider than anticipated, averaging 2.8 meters, and locally up to eight meters in width. The increased widths are attributed to gold-bearing quartz veinlets that extend for several meters away from the veins in argillically altered andesite. Where low grade gold values were encountered along the vein structure, between zones of higher grade, it is thought to reflect higher elevations within the epithermal system, above the most favourable horizon for gold deposition. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the higher grade zones along the system occur in areas that are topographically lower than the intervening ground.

A second phase of trenching, consisting of 40 to 50 trenches, was initiated in early May to expand upon the discoveries made in the initial phase. Assays for the samples taken from these trenches were received in late September.

Highlights of the trenching programs were reported in press releases dated May 31, July 30, and October 2, 2003. Information from those press releases has been used to compile the following table.

The results of fluid inclusion studies on samples taken during trenching demonstrated that:

•

the veins are representative of shallow, low-sulphidation epithermal vein systems;

•

estimated temperatures, salinities and depth all fall in the expected range for epithermal deposits, and

•

native gold was observed in one sample.

This information supports the earlier conclusion based on field evidence that the higher grade “productive horizon” can be anticipated at relatively shallow depths, which will be tested by a drilling program schedule for the Fourth Quarter of the year.

The Company’s interest in the Cacamuyá Property is the subject of a report (the “Kaip Report”), dated 4/5/2002, prepared by Andrew Kaip, P.Geo (BC), of iMAP Interactive Mapping Solutions Inc., a copy of which has been filed with the applicable Canadian regulatory authorities.

The following description of the Cacamuyá Property has been summarized from the Kaip Report.

Accessibility/Climate/Local Resources/Infrastructure/Physiology

The town of San Marcos de Colón, located on the Pan American Highway, is the field base for exploration and is located about 15 km north of the center of the property. The community of Duyosupo is located in the central portion of the property, along the main north-south access road. Regularly scheduled bus service connects Duyosupo with San Marcos de Colon.

Access to the main areas of mineralization on the property is via gravel roads through Duyosupo. In wet weather, a four-wheel drive vehicle is necessary to ford creeks and negotiate slippery hills. The climate is semi-tropical with temperatures in the range of 20 to 35 degrees Celcius.

Work can be conducted on the property on a year round basis. The wet season generally occurs between September and November and is characterized by strong afternoon rains.

The dry season extends from January through to June and is characterized by sunny to high overcast with moderate to strong winds from the west.

Topography on the Cacamuyá Property varies from broad to flat-topped ridges and uplands that occupy the northern part of the property, to more rugged topography comprising razor-like ridges and steep walled quebradas (streams) in the southeastern portion of the property. Elevations on the property range from 650 to 1300 meters above sea level. Above 900 meters, elevation vegetation is dominated by stands of pine and lesser oak and locally open fields suitable for grazing. Below 900 meters elevation, and along drainages, vegetation consists of deciduous forest and semi-jungle vegetation and minor clearing suitable for cultivation.

Population within and proximal to areas of economic interest on the Cacamuyá Property is sparse with two families located to the west of Cerro Chachagua and between 10 to 20 families in each of the villages of Cacamuyá, La Mesa and Duyosupo. Logging, coffee growing, cattle and cutting of firewood are the principal economic activities in the area.

Small plots of cultivated land in the vicinity of houses are used to grow staples such as beans, plantain, and fruit for local consumption.

Water is available year round from several sources on the property, of which the Rio Iguazala is the closest to current exploration activities by the Company. The nearest source of power is San Marcos de Colón.

San Marcos de Colón is the nearest commercial center to the property, where accommodation, supplies and services to facilitate exploration activities on the property can be obtained. Driving time from San Marcos de Colón to the main areas of mineralization on the property is approximately one hour west of Cerro Chachagua.

Property History

The earliest recorded activity on the Cacamuyá Property was about 1900 by the Central American Mining Company, who mined the south dipping Carmen and Esperanza veins and to a lesser extent the north-dipping vein splays of the Cerro Chachagua vein.

The New York and Honduras Rosario Mining Company (“Rosario Mining”) held the property from 1939 to 1940 at which time they mapped and sampled many of the old workings and redrafted a number of the 1920 maps, which are the only record of activity prior to that time.

Modern exploration activities on the property began in December 1990 with the acquisition of the Delia exploration permit by Breakwater through its Honduran subsidiary American Pacific Honduras. Breakwater’s 1991 program, which targeted the Cacamuyá Property as a potential bulk tonnage gold target, included collection of 2,290 grid controlled soil samples analyzed for 30 elements, plus reconnaissance geological mapping including sampling of adits and trenches over many of the target areas. The soil sampling outlined a 2 km 2 anomaly.

Summary of Historic Work on the Cacamuyá Property:

Total		81	2,290	1,075	1,150	14	2,546

Company abbreviations: BWR = Breakwater, and BMG = Minera BMG

______________________________________________________________________________

In 1992, Kennecott entered into an agreement with Breakwater and undertook a permit wide reconnaissance alteration mapping and rock-sampling program. They took 166 rock samples within an area of sericitic alteration measuring roughly 6km by 2km. Fewer than 10 samples were collected in the Cerro Chachagua or Carmen-Esperanza area.

In May 1994, Minera BMG (a wholly owned subsidiary of Battle Mountain Gold) entered into an option agreement with Breakwater to earn a 60% interest in the property.

Their work focused on bulk tonnage gold targets within the area of soil geochemical anomalies and included more detailed rock sampling, geological mapping and 14 diamond drill holes. Of the 14 holes, 5 intersected what is now known as the Cerro Chachagua structure and another, the D4 target. Five of these six holes intersected potentially ore grade gold and silver over mineable widths.

Geological Setting

The Cacamuyá property is underlain by volcanic and epiclastic sedimentary strata and coeval intrusions of the middle Tertiary age. Detailed mapping has defined three principal stratigraphic sequences, the Lower Volcanic Sequence, Intermediate Sedimentary Sequence and Upper Volcanic Sequence. Intruding the stratified units on the property are a series of intrusions that vary from intermediate to felsic in composition.

The Lower Volcanic Sequence is a heterolithic volcanic sequence that varies from mafic to felsic in composition and attains a minimum thickness of 200 meters. The Sedimentary Sequence contains limestone pods or beds, exhibits rapid local facies changes and reaches a maximum thickness of about 80m. The Upper Volcanic sequence is dominated by biotite-feldspar phyric units that are massive to flow banded in the eastern half of the target area and clearly volcanoclastic beneath and adjacent rhyolite ash tuffs in the western half. They are interpreted to be flow domes based on their spatial distribution, intrusive contacts and textures. Nine types of intrusions are identified within the Target Area on the basis of their composition and whether they occur as dikes, small stocks, plugs or flow domes. Andesitic-basalt, feldspar porphyry and hornblende feldspar porphyry dikes have been mapped in lower volcanics mainly in the northeast part of the Target Area. Some dikes have been intersected in drill holes near the Cerro Chachagua structure but have not been seen on surface. A dacite flow dome is well exposed on the slopes to the east of the D4 area where its extent is defined by flow banded breccia fragments and chaotic folded flow banding. Biotite feldspar porphyry and feldspar porphyry stocks intrude the sedimentary package and the biotite phyric upper volcanics particularly in the eastern half of the Target Area. They overlap with rhyolite intrusions in the central regions of the Target Area.

4.D.b. Rio Luna Property

Nicaragua; Gold / Silver Exploration.

Option to Earn 100% Interest.

Acquisition Details

The Company entered into an “option to purchase” agreement by which it can acquire a 100% interest in the Rio Luna Gold Property in Nicaragua from Terra Nova Resources Inc (“NRI”) and Inversiones de Terra Nova S.A. (“Intersa”, a subsidiary of NRI), under terms of an option agreement dated December 23, 2002. The Company can earn its interest by making a US $7,500 cash option payment to Intersa (paid) and incurring US $10,000 in exploration and development expenditures prior to the first anniversary of the option agreement. To keep the option in good standing the Company must also make option payments to NRI of US $7,500 and 15,000 common shares of the Company prior to or on the first anniversary date of the agreement, US $10,000 prior to or on the second anniversary date, and 60,000 common shares of the Company prior to the third anniversary date.

Property Details

The Rio Luna epithermal gold property is large and relatively unexplored. The property covers 126 square kilometers and is 10 kilometers from Boaco, Nicaragua. A 75 kilometer paved road from Managua to Boaco and high quality gravel roads northeast from Boaca onto various parts of the property provide excellent access to the property. The climate is semi-tropical with temperatures in the range of 20 to 35 degrees Celsius. Work can be conducted on the property on a year round basis.

The Rio Luna epithermal gold deposit is located between the El Limon gold deposit which has past production and current reserves that total 2.8 million ounces of gold and the La Libertad deposit with past production and current reserves of 2.6 million ounces of gold. Both of these producing epithermal gold deposits are hosted in tertiary volcanics of similar age to the Rio Luna Property.

Property History

Superficial exploration of the Rio Luna property had been performed by other parties prior to the Company obtaining the concession. A cursory exploration program carried out by the Company identified a series of four, low-sulphidation epithermal quartz veins that occur within a seven square kilometer area. The poorly exposed principal mineralized structure was initially thought to be 4.4. kilometers in length and 2 to 10 meters wide. The quartz veins are mainly hosted in andesitic volcanics of the tertiary age. The Company’s initial stage of work consisted of hand trenching, including the cleaning of several old pits and adits, and mapping and sampling mainly on portions of the principal epithermal vein. Following the initial stage, the Company expanded the sampling with 40 additional trenches along a 3.5 kilometer strike length. The Company also completed a systematic sampling of the stream sediments in the area.

In June 2003 a second phase program consisting of an additional 46 hand trenches were completed. The trenching programs from phases one and two increased the aggregate strike length in several vein systems to over 8.8 kilometers.

4.D.c. Cedros PropertyHonduras

Silver/Zinc Exploration

Option to Earn 100% Interest

Acquisition Details

By letter agreement dated 12/31/2001, the Company was granted the exclusive right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Cedros silver-zinc-lead property in Honduras from Five Star Mining S.A. for 225,000 common shares at any time, provided the Company keeps the property title in good standing and continues to meet the government assessment requirements. If the option is exercised, Five Star will retain a royalty of 2% net smelter returns, but this royalty interest can be purchased by the Company at any time for US $1 million. This agreement is a modification of an earlier agreement between the parties dated 11/15/1997.

Property Description

The Cedros Property is located at the southern end of a belt of world-class, carbonate-hosted silver-zinc-lead deposits that extend from Mexico to central Honduras. The property consists of three concessions which total 59,000 hectares. The Spaniards mined the tops of high-grade, probably oxidized, massive sulphide replacement zones along a two-kilometer trend in the 1600’s and 1700’s. The Spaniards halted mining at relatively shallow depths when they encountered the water table. The Cedros Property is located 60 kilometers northeast of Tegucigalpa the capital and 110 kilometers east of El Mochito. The property is road accessible. Prior to the Company’s involvement, it had never been systematically explored or drilled.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended 9/30/03 compared to the Nine Months Ended 9/30/2002

Operating Expenses totaled $424,800 compared to $319,111 in the prior year’s period. The largest costs incurred were in General Exploration, or exploration on properties not capitalized to ongoing projects, which rose to $282,181 from $103,571. Net Loss for the period was ($414,185), or ($0.01) per share, compared to a loss of ($303,766), or ($0.01) per share, in the prior year’s period.

Year Ended 12/31/2002 compared to the Year Ended 12/31/2001

Operating Expenses for the year were $595,386 compared to $252,940 for the prior year. The largest changes occurred in Accounting and Audit, which rose to $14,785 from $6,124 due to costs related to the filing of the initial 20-F Registration Statement in the United States; Legal Fees rose to $20,800 from $2,236 and Shareholder, Trust and Filing Fees increased to $25,091 from $7,847 due to costs related to private placements during the current period; Travel and Promotion expense rose to $69,618 from $4,613 due to an investor awareness program in the current period; Office and Administration increased to $8,335 from $3,925 due to higher support levels for the Company’s increased activities.

The Company also incurred General Exploration expense, or exploration on properties not capitalized to ongoing projects, of $147,000 in the current period compared to $132,725 in the year ago period. Write-offs of mineral properties and capitalized exploration expenditures during the year were $175,878 compared to zero in the prior year. The mineral properties written off consisted of the Frederick House claims (on which the Company held an option to acquire a 70% interest) and the Garnet, Hall and Devonshire mining claims (owned 100% by the Company). These four groups of claims were referred to collectively as the Mann Project. The results of the sampling program on the Mann Project did not meet management’s expectations. Accordingly, the Company terminated the option agreement on the Frederick House property and will allow its interest in the three 100% owned properties to lapse. Details of the costs written off are shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Mineral Property Costs included in the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included as Item 17 in Part III of this Annual Report.

Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 was ($581,906) versus ($244,524). Net Loss per Share was ($0.03) versus ($0.02).

Fiscal 2001 Ended 12/31/2001 compared to Fiscal 2000

Operating Expenses for Fiscal 2001 were $120,215 compared to $129,868 for Fiscal 2000. The largest cost categories were: wages at $55,741 versus $39,302 last year, the increase occurring because increased exploration activity; rent at $11,564, down from $17,955 last year because space was sub-let during the year; and management fees at $10,000 versus $12,000 last year. Office/ administration fell to $3,925 from $13,797 last year because of reduced salaries.

In addition, the Company expensed $132,725 in exploration expense and wrote-off $nil in mineral property costs. Also, the Company generated $8,416 in other income and interest income.

Net Loss for Fiscal 2001 was ($244,524) versus ($496,612). Net Loss Per Share was ($0.02) versus ($0.04).

Stock Options. The terms of incentive options granted by the Company are done in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, including the number of common shares under option, the exercise price and expiry date of such options, and any amendments thereto. The Company’s Stock Option Plan mirrors and complies with such “terms and conditions”, including the pricing of the options, expiry and the eligibility of personnel for such options; and are described below.

The Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan effective on 1/2/1997.

The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to attract, retain and compensate qualified persons as directors, senior officers, and full-time employees of the consultants to, the Company and its affiliates/subsidiaries by providing such persons with the opportunity, through share options, to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company.

The Stock Option Plan provides that shareholder approval is not required if the aggregate number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options does not exceed 10% of the issued common shares of the Company, 5% to any one individual, and 2% to any consultant at the time of granting.

Shareholder approval of the grant of incentive stock options is required pursuant to the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange where the grant will result in the Company having options outstanding which, in aggregate, are exercisable to acquire over 10% (to a maximum of 20%) of the outstanding common shares of the Company.

In addition, disinterested shareholders (all shareholders excluding insiders and associates of insiders) approval is required pursuant to the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange where:

(a) grant of incentive stock options could result at any time in:

(i) the Company having options outstanding to insiders

which, in aggregate, are exercisable to acquire over

10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company; or

(ii) the issuance to insiders, within a one year period, of

common shares which, in aggregate, exceed 10% of the

outstanding common shares of the Company; or

(iii) the issuance to any one insider and such insider's

associates, within a one year period, of common shares

which, in aggregate, exceed 5% of the outstanding

common shares of the Company; or

(iv) the issuance to any consultant of common shares which,

in aggregate, exceed 2% of the outstanding common

shares of the Company; or

(b) the Company is proposing to decrease the exercise price of

stock options held by any insiders.

The Stock Option Plan authorizes the Board, or a committee thereof, to grant stock options from time to time to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.

Under the Stock Option Plan, stock options are non-assignable and may be granted for a term not exceeding five years, unless so determined by the Board of Directors and permitted under the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange. The exercise price of a stock option may not be lower than the closing price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the business day immediately preceding the date the Option is granted, less the maximum discount permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange. If an optionee ceases to be an officer, director, employee, or consultant of the Company other than by reason of the death of such optionee, any outstanding stock option held by such optionee will expire ninety days after the date of termination of service, or such later date as the Board may determine. In the event of the death of an optionee, any outstanding stock option held by the optionee will be exercisable by such optionee’s repre sentatives for a period of twelve months after such death.

No stock option granted under the Stock Option Plan is transferable by the optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each stock option is exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee.

Although the Company has the right to create a multi-year vesting schedule, all existing granted stock options were vested upon granting.

The names and titles of the Directors/Executive Officers of the Company to whom outstanding stock options have been granted and the number of common shares subject to such options are set forth in Table No. 8 as of11/30/2003, as well as the number of options granted to Directors and all employees as a group.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

The Company's consolidated financial statements are stated in Canadian Dollars (CDN$) and are prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the application of which, in the case of the Company, conforms in all material respects for the periods presented with United States GAAP, except as discussed in footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements as required under ITEM #17 are attached hereto and found immediately following the text of this Annual Report. The audit report of DeVisser Gray, independent Chartered Accountants, are included herein immediately preceding the consolidated financial statements.

US/Canadian GAAP difference in respect to the deferral of resource property costs

A major difference exists in respect to the allowable treatment of resource property acquisition and exploration costs under US and Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Under Canadian GAAP, an enterprise is generally not precluded from deferring such costs during the period prior to the completion of a positive feasibility study on the property or properties to which such costs apply, provided that management intends to continue work on the property and that all other criteria in support the status of the asset, such as an acquisition agreement in good standing, are in place. Under US GAAP, no deferral of current costs is possible until the property or properties to which they apply have been subject to a final feasibility study showing proven and probable reserves. Under Canadian GAAP, explicit financial statement footnote disclosure is typically made in all instances where there is uncertainty surrounding the measurability and recoverability of these costs, and such disclosure is provided fully in the case of the Registrant. Despite this, readers should be aware that this allowable Canadian GAAP financial statement line item treatment of these costs, followed currently by the Registrant, is a more aggressive accounting policy than that allowed by US GAAP standards, and will typically result in materially overstated asset and understated current loss figures relative to those derived following the application of US GAAP to the same costs. US GAAP standards in connection with the recognition of financial statement assets arising from such costs incurred at this stage of mineral resource development are undeniably higher that the equivalent allowable thresholds, followed by the Registrant currently, under Canadian GAAP. A detailed analysis of the current financial statement impact of this difference in US and Canadian GAAP is provided at Note 12 to the Company’s au dited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing.

8.A.7. Legal/Arbitration Proceedings

The Directors and the management of the Company know of no material, active or pending, legal proceedings against them; nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

The Directors and the management of the Company know of no active or pending proceedings against anyone that might materially adversely affect an interest of the Company.

8.B. Significant Changes

No significant change has occurred since the date of the annual financial statements, and/or since the date of the most recent interim financial statements.

9.A.5. Common Share Description

Registrar/Common Shares Outstanding/Shareholders

The Company's common shares are issued in registered form and the following information is taken from the records of Computershare Trust Company of Canada (located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada), the registrar and transfer agent for the common shares.

Common Share Description

All of the authorized common shares of the Company are of the same class and, once issued, rank equally as to dividends, voting powers, and participation in assets. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be acted upon by the shareholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors, in its discretion, out of funds legally available therefore.

Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata the assets of Company, if any, remaining after payments of all debts and liabilities. No shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights and no provisions for redemption or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds.

Provisions as to the modification, amendment or variation of such shareholder rights or provisions are contained in the Alberta Business Corporations Act (“Act”). Unless theAct or the Company's Articles or Memorandum otherwise provide, any action to be taken by a resolution of the members may be taken by an ordinary resolution or by a vote of a majority or more of the shares represented at the shareholders' meeting.

The Company's Articles and the Alberta Business Corporations Act contain provisions that require a "special resolution" for effecting certain corporate actions. Such a "special resolution" requires a two-thirds vote of shareholders rather than a simple majority for passage. The principle corporate actions that require a "special resolution" include:

a. Changing the Company name;

b. Adding/changing/removing any restriction on the business or

businesses that the Company may carry on;

c. Changing the maximum number of shares that the Company is

authorized to issue;

d. Creating a new class of shares;

e. Changing the designation of all or any of its shares, and

adding/changing/removing any rights/privileges/restrictions

and conditions, including rights to accrued dividends, in

respect of all or any of its shares, whether issued/unissued;

f. Changing the number of any class or series, whether issued

or unissued, into a different number of shares of the same

class or series or into the same or a different number of

shares or other classes or series.

g. Dividing a class of shares, whether issued/unissued, into

series and fixing the number of shares in each series and the

rights/privileges/restrictions/conditions of that series;

h. Authorizing the Directors to divide any class of unissued

shares into series and fixing the number of shares in each

series and the rights/privileges/restrictions/conditions of

that series;

i. Authorizing the Directors to change the rights/privileges/

restrictions/conditions attached to unissued shares of any

series;

j. Revoking/diminishing/enlarging any authority conferred under

(h) and (i);

k. Increasing/decreasing the number of Directors or the minimum

or maximum number of Directors, subject to other rules;

l. Subject to section 45(8), adding/changing/removing any

other provision that is permitted by the Alberta Business

Corporations Act to be set out in the Articles;

m. Amending the Articles of Incorporation;

n. Shareholder approval of an amalgamation agreement;

o. Continuance of the Company into another jurisdiction;

p. Disposing of all or substantially all of the Company's

assets and liabilities; and

q. Dissolution of the Company.

There are no restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of common shares of the Company while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends.

Flow-Through Common Shares

"Flow-through" shares differ from other shares of common stock in only one aspect, all other rights of the shareholder remain unchanged. Companies must specifically identify the expenditures associated with the funds raised through the sale of flow-through shares. Companies raising capital through flow-through shares expend the funds on natural resource exploration. The tax benefits (depreciation, amortization, etc.) connected with the expenditures flow through to the shareholder rather than the corporation. These tax benefits are available only to shareholders residing in Canada. Shareholders residing in the United States and other non-Canadian shareholders, receive no tax benefits through the purchase of flow-through shares.

Share Purchase Warrants

Table No. 11 lists, as of 11/30/2003, share purchase warrants outstanding, the date the share purchase warrants were issued, the exercise price, and the expiration date of the share purchase warrants. As of 11/30/2003, the Company was aware of 32 holders of its 2,512,987 share purchase warrants, 27 of whom were resident in Canada or the United States. These warrants, issued in conjunction with private placements, are non-transferable.

10.C. Material Contracts

--- No Disclosure Necessary ---

10.D. Exchange Controls

Except as discussed in ITEM #10.E., the Company is not aware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-Canadian holders of the common shares. There are no limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote the common shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company.

TheInvestment Canada Act(the"IC Act") governs acquisitions of Canadian business by a non-Canadian person or entity. TheIC Act requires a non-Canadian (as defined in theIC Act) making an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business, the gross assets of which exceed certain defined threshold levels, to file an application for review with the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada. TheIC Actprovides, among other things, for a review of an investment in the event of acquisition of "control" in certain Canadian businesses in the following circumstances:

1. If the investor is a non-Canadian and is a national of a country belonging to the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") and/or the World Trade Organization ("WTO") ("NAFTA or WTO National"), any direct acquisition having an asset value exceeding $179,000,000 is reviewable. This amount is subject to an annual adjustment on the basis of a prescribed formula in theIC Actto reflect inflation and real growth within Canada. This threshold level does not apply in certain sections of Canadian industry, such as uranium, financial services (except insurance), transportation services and cultural services (i.e. the publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals (other than printing or typesetting businesses), music in print or machine readable form, radio, television, cable and satellite services; the publication, distribution, sale or exhibition of film or video recordings on audio or video music recordings), to which lower thresholds as prescribed in theIC Actare applicable.

2. If the investor is a non-Canadian and is not a NAFTA or WTO National, any direct acquisition having an asset value exceeding $5,000,000 and any indirect acquisition having an asset value exceeding $50,000,000 is reviewable.

3. If the investor is a non-Canadian and is NAFTA or WTO National, an indirect acquisition of control is reviewable if the value of the assets of the business located in Canada represents more than 50% of the asset value of the transaction or the business is involved in uranium, financial services, transportation services or cultural services.

Finally, certain transactions prescribed in theIC Actare exempted from review altogether.

In the context of the Company, in essence, three methods of acquiring control of a Canadian business are regulated by theIC Act: (i) the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets used in carrying on business in Canada; (ii) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of voting shares of a Canadian corporation carrying on business in Canada; or (iii) the acquisition of voting shares of an entity which controls, directly or indirectly, another entity carrying on business in Canada.

An acquisition of a majority of the voting shares of a Canadian entity, including a corporation, is deemed an acquisition of control under theIC Act. However, under theIC Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that control is acquired if one-third of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation or an equivalent undivided interest in the voting shares of such corporation are held by a non-Canadian person or entity. An acquisition of less than one-third of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation is deemed not to be an acquisition of control. An acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation is presumed to be an acquisition of control unless it can be established that, on the acquisition, the Canadian corporation is not, in fact, controlled by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares. For partnerships, trusts, joint ventures or ot her unincorporated Canadian entities, an acquisition of less than a majority of the voting interests is deemed not to be an acquisition of control.

In addition, if a Canadian corporation is controlled by a non-Canadian, the acquisition of control of any other Canadian corporation by such corporation may be subject to the prior approval of the Investment Review Division, unless it can be established that the Canadian corporation is not in fact controlled by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares.

Where an investment is reviewable under theIC Act, the investment may not be implemented unless it is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. If an applicant is unable to satisfy the Minister responsible for Industry Canada that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the applicant may not proceed with the investment. Alternatively, an acquirer may be required to divest control of the Canadian business that is the subject of the investment.

In addition to the foregoing, theIC Actprovides for formal notification under theIC Actof all other acquisitions of control by Canadian businesses by non-Canadian investors. The notification process consists of filing a notification within 30 days following the implementation of an investment, which notification is for information, as opposed to review, purposes.

10.E. Taxation

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary discusses only the Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder (a "Holder") of one or more common shares of the Company who, for the purposes of theIncome Tax Act(Canada) (the"Tax Act") is a non-resident of Canada who holds common shares as capital property. The summary deals with the provisions of theTax Actin force on 12/31/1999. 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. Holders and prospective holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

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, is 5%. If the Holder is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company paying the dividend, and, in all other cases, the tax rate is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. 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 Receiv er General for Canada for the account of the Holder.

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 theTax 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 Canadian Venture Exchange is a prescribed stock exchange under theTax Act. A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on a disposition of a common share that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common shares is derived from, or from an interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resource properties, (b) the common share formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 month period preceding the disposition, or (c) the Holder is an individual who (i) was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding the disposition, and for a total of 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years, preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when he ceased to be resident in Canada.

A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on a disposition of a common share must include three quarters 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 three-quarters 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.

United States Taxation

For federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation ("U.S. Taxpayer") will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the Company's common shares equal to the difference between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares. The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital loss if the Company's common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Taxpayer.

For federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Taxpayer will be required to include in gross income dividends received on the Company's common shares. A U.S. Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on common shares will be entitled, subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or alternatively, a deduction) against federal income tax liability. A domestic corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting shares should consult its tax advisor as to applicability of the deemed paid foreign tax credit with respect to dividends paid on the Company's common shares.

Under a number of circumstances, United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply, and United States Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.

Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

10.F. Dividends and Paying Agents

The Company has not declared any dividends on its common shares for the last five years and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future. The present policy of the Company is to retain future earnings for use in its operations and the expansion of its business.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned: the Company is unaware of any dividend restrictions; has no specific procedure for the setting of the date of dividend entitlement; but might expect to set a record date for stock ownership to determine entitlement; has no specific procedures for non-resident holders to claim dividends, but might expect to mail their dividends in the same manner as resident holders. The Company has not nominated any financial institutions to be the potential paying agents for dividends in the United States.

10.G. Statement by Experts

The Company’s auditors for its financial statements for each of the preceding two years was DeVisser Gray, Chartered Accountants, 905 West Pender Street, #401, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1L6. They are members of the British Columbia Institute of Chartered Accountants. Their audit reports for Fiscal 2002/2001 and for Fiscal 2000/1999 are included with the related financial statements in this Annual Report.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The company’s mineral properties are all currently at the exploration stage and the Company’s operations are limited to exploring those properties. Therefore, the Company’s market risks are minimal. The Company does, however, have future property exploration requirements due in United States currency. As a Canadian Company, the Company’s cash balances are kept in Canadian funds. Therefore, First Point is exposed to some interest rate risk. The Company considers the amount of risk to be manageable and does not currently, nor is likely in the foreseeable future, conduct hedging to reduce its exchange rate risk.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of First Point Minerals Corp.,

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of First Point Minerals Corp. as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows, and the consolidated schedule of mineral property costs for each of the years in the three year period then ended December 31, 2002. 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 generally accepted auditing standards in Canada and the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2002 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA – U.S. REPORTING CONFLICT

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 significant uncertainties and contingencies such as those referred to in note 1 to these financial statements. Although we conducted our audits in accordance with both Canadian and U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, our report to the shareholders dated March 25, 2003 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such matters when the uncertainties are disclosed in the financial statements.

FIRST POINT MINERALS CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2002 and 2001

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act and is involved in the acquisition and exploration of property interests that are considered potential sites of economic mineralization. At the date of the financial statements, the Company has not identified a known body of commercial grade ore on any of its properties and the ability of the Company to realize the costs it has incurred to date on these properties is dependent upon the Company being able to identify a commercial ore body, to finance its exploration and development costs and to resolve any environmental, regulatory, or other constraints which may hinder the successful development of the property.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in Canada. As described in note 11, these principles differ in certain respects from principles and practices generally accepted in the United States. Summarized below are those policies considered particularly significant to the Company. References to the Company included herein are inclusive of the Canadian parent company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Deferred Property Costs

Property acquisition costs and related direct exploration costs are deferred until the properties are placed into production, sold or abandoned. These deferred costs will be amortized on the units-of-production basis over the estimated useful life of the properties following the commencement of production or written-off if the properties are sold, allowed to lapse, or abandoned.

Cost includes the cash consideration paid and the fair market value of any common shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts at such time as the payments are made. The recorded cost of mineral claims and deferred exploration and development costs represent costs incurred and are not intended to reflect present of future values.

The Company reviews capitalized costs on its property interests on a periodic, or annual, basis and will recognize an impairment in value based upon current exploration results and upon management’s assessment of the future probability of profitable revenues from the property or from the sale of the property. Management’s assessment of the property’s estimated current fair market value may also be based upon a review of other property transactions that have occurred in the same geographic area as that of the property under review.

Administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

Capital Assets

Capital assets consist of office furniture and equipment and computer equipment, which are recorded at cost and amortized on the declining-balance basis at rates of 20% and 30% per annum, respectively.

Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: monetary assets and liabilities at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates; other assets and liabilities at applicable historical exchange rates; revenues and expenses at the average rate of exchange for the year, except for non-monetary expenses which are recorded at the rates used for the translation of the related assets. Foreign exchange translation gains and losses are included in current operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)

Share Capital

Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair market value based upon the lower of the trading price of the Company’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date of the agreement to issue the shares and the date of share issuance. Common shares issued as flow-through shares are issued under an agreement that, as provided for in the Canadian Income Tax Act, the Company transfers to the purchaser of the shares the benefits of the exploration expenditures that are financed by the proceeds of the share issue.

Costs incurred to issue common shares are deducted from share capital.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the continuing viability of mineral property interests and the determination of reclamation obligations and rates for amortization. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting largely of cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair market values because of the limited terms of these instruments. Fair value estimates are made at each balance sheet date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Depending on the nature of the financial instrument, these estimates can be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgement and, therefore, are inherently imprecise. Changes in assumptions could further significantly affect these estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options granted to directors and employees. Under this method, no compensation expense is recorded when stock options are granted to directors and employees if the exercise price of the stock options granted is at or above the current market value. Any consideration paid by directors and employees on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital. The effects of accounting for stock-based compensation to directors and employees as a compensation expense, using the fair value method, is disclosed as pro-forma information.

In connection with this pro-forma disclosure, the Company recognizes the expense in the period the options are vested.

The adoption of this accounting policy for stock-based compensation has been applied prospectively to all stock options granted subsequent to January 1, 2002.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for and measures future tax asset and liabilities in accordance with the liability method.

Under the asset and 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 to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment of the change. When the future realization of income tax assets does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of the potential future benefit is taken and no net asset is recognized. Assuming the Company’s operations remain at the exploration stage, such an allowance will continue to apply fully for the foreseeable future to all potential income tax assets. Accordingly, the Company’s accounting policy for future income taxes currently has no effect on the financial statements of any of the fiscal years presented.

MINERAL PROPERTIES

HONDURAS

Cedros Property

The Company has an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in three mineral concessions and exploration permits in the Cedros region. To earn its interest at any time, the Company must issue 225,000 common shares (none issued to date). The concessions and permits are subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty which can be purchased by the Company at any time for U.S.$1,000,000.

Cacamuya Property

The Company acquired an option in July 1999 to purchase a 60% interest in the Cacamuya Property in southern Honduras from Battle Mountain Gold Company ("BMG"). BMG has subsequently become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont Gold Company.

To earn its interest, the Company must incur U.S.$1,000,000 in exploration expenditures (U.S. $813,642 incurred) and issue 700,000 common shares (200,000 issued currently) over five years. BMG will retain a 0.6% NSR interest in the property.

MINERAL PROPERTIES(continued)

HONDURAS

The Company also has an option to earn the remaining 40% interest in this property from a wholly-owned Honduran subsidiary of Breakwater Resources Ltd. by issuing 500,000 common shares at such time as the Honduran government enacts the regulations to the new Honduran mining code and converts title to the property. Breakwater Resources will retain a sliding scale NSR of 0.4% of the gross sale proceeds starting at US$325/ounce gold and rising to a maximum of 1.2% of the gross sale proceeds at US$400/ounce gold for all gold production, and 0.4% of the gross sale proceeds starting at US$5.25/troy ounce silver and rising to a maximum of 1.2% of the gross sale proceeds at US$7.00/troy ounce silver for all silver production.

CANADA

Mann Project

The Company held an interest in 4 properties in Ontario, collectively known as the Mann Project. The Company held a 100% interest in the Hall, Garnet and Devonshire properties, and had an option to earn a 50% interest in the Frederick House Property from East West Resources (“EWR”) by making cash payments totaling $60,000 ($20,000 paid) and incurring exploration expenditures of $500,000. In the 256 hectare area of historic trenches within the Frederick House property, Falconbridge retained a 2% net smelter return and had the right to back-in to a 50% interest by making twice the cash payments and exploration expenditures of the previous combined payments and expenditures of EWR and the Company. In the current year, the Company decided to abandon its interests in the Frederick House and Mann Project properties and wrote off all costs associated with them.

Other Properties

The Company has certain additional property interests located in Canada in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. No material deferred costs have been incurred to date in respect to these properties.

NICARAGUA

Rio Luna Property

During the current year, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Rio Luna Property in Nicaragua from Terra Nova Resources Inc. (“NRI”) and Inversiones de Tura Nova S.A. (“Intersa”) (a subsidiary of NRI)

To earn its interest, the Company must make a U.S.$7,500 cash option payment to Intersa (paid) and incur U.S.$10,000 in exploration and development expenditures prior to the first anniversary of the option agreement. To keep the option in good standing the Company must also make option payments to NRI of U.S.$7,500 and 15,000 common shares of the Company prior to or on the first anniversary date of the agreement, U.S.$10,000 prior to or on the second anniversary date, and 60,000 common shares of the Company prior to or on the third anniversary date.

SHARE CAPITAL

Authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of first and second preferred shares.

Stock Options

Stock options to purchase common shares have been granted to directors, employees and consultants of the Company at exercise prices determined by their market value on the date of the grant. At December 31, 2002, the Company had stock options outstanding for 2,274,000 common shares.

5. SHARE CAPITAL(continued)

Stock Options(continued)

If the Company had accounted for the stock options granted to directors and employees using the fair value method, the pro-forma effect on net loss and loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2002 would be as follows:

Net loss for the year
As reported		$ 581,906)
Compensation expense		186,154)
Pro-forma net loss for the year		768,060)

Loss per share
As reported		$ (0.03)
Pro-forma		(0.04)

The fair value of options included in the pro-forma information above has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 4.80%; an expected life of 5 years; an expected volatility of 42%; and no expectation for the payment of dividends.

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

LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted loss per share has not been calculated as it is anti-dilutive.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year, the Company paid a private company controlled by a director $33,200 (2001 - $25,000) for administrative services and as at December 31, 2002 owes this individual an aggregate of $Nil (2001 - $5,500).

The President of the Company was paid $124,994 (2001 – $125,000) and is owed an aggregate of $1,138 (2001 – $78,333), for advances and expense reimbursements in the current year (represents the cumulative unpaid portion of salary amounts for the previous year), as at December 31, 2002.

Legal and other services of $39,748 (2001 - $15,450) were provided by a law firm of which a director of the Company is a partner.

All year end balances are included within accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts receivable as applicable in these financial statements.

FUNDS IN TRUST

In a previous year, the Company contributed $67,500 to a trust account of which an officer would become the beneficiary under certain conditions relating to his future loss of employment with the Company. During 2000, this officer agreed to release $15,000 of the principal balance back to the Company. The Company has not to date and will not recognize any expense in connection with the principal amount until, and if, amounts are paid to the recipient. The likelihood of this occurring is not presently determinable. At December 31, 2002, the balance in trust consists of the principal amount of $52,500 (2001 - $52,500) plus interest of $7,351 (2001 - $6,585), which accrues in favour of the Company and is included in its income.

LEASE OBLIGATION

The Company had entered a five and one-half year lease agreement, commencing August 1, 1996, to rent office space for $4,080 per month. At June 1, 2002, the Company entered into a new lease agreement to rent office space for a five year term at $3,631 per month.

10.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has aggregate non-capital losses of approximately $2.5 million and $2.7 million in deductions in Honduras available to reduce taxable income in future years, as necessary. The future tax benefits, if any, resulting from the application of these losses have not been reflected in these financial statements as it cannot be considered likely that these amounts will be utilized.

11.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP)

Under Canadian GAAP applicable to junior mining exploration companies, mineral exploration expenditures are deferred on prospective properties until such time as it is determined that further exploration is not warranted, at which time the property costs are written-off. Under U.S. GAAP, all exploration expenditures are expensed until an independent feasibility study has determined that the property is capable of economic commercial production. The following items (a) to (f) provide a summary on the impact of these financial statements that would result from the application of U.S. accounting principles to deferred property costs.

FIRST POINT MINERALS CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2003 and 2002

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act and is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties and their related deferred costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in their underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral properties.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Point US Minerals Inc., incorporated in the State of Delaware, U.S.A., First Point International Corporation, incorporated in Barbados, First Point Honduras S.A. de C.V., incorporate in Honduras and First Point Nicaragua, S.A. incorporated in Nicaragua.

Mineral Properties and Deferred Costs

The cost of mineral properties and related exploration and development expenditures are deferred until the properties are placed into production, sold or abandoned. These costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the properties following the commencement of production or written-off if the properties are sold, allowed to lapse, or abandoned.

Cost includes the cash consideration and the fair market value of shares as they are issued, if any, on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company are recorded in the accounts at such time as the payments are made.

The recorded cost of mineral claims and deferred exploration and development costs represent costs incurred and are not intended to reflect present or future values. The ultimate recovery of such capitalized costs is dependent upon the discovery and development of economic ore reserves or the sale of mineral rights.

Capital Assets

Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: monetary assets and liabilities at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates; other assets and liabilities at applicable historical exchange rates; revenues and expenses at the average rate of exchange for the year except for non-monetary expenses which are at the rates used for the translation of the related assets; foreign exchange translation gains and losses are included in earnings.

FIRST POINT MINERALS CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2003 and 2002

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)

Measurement Uncertainty and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the continuing viability of mineral property interests and the determination of reclamation obligations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Stock Option Plan

The Company has a discretionary stock option plan for which no compensation expense is recognized when the stock options are granted to directors, officers, employees or advisors. Any consideration paid by the directors, officers, employees or advisors on the exercise of stock options or purchase of common shares is credited to capital stock.

Rio Luna Property - Nicaragua

The Company has an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in this property from Novaterra Resources Inc. ("Novaterra").

Stock Options

If the Company had accounted for the stock options granted to directors and employees using the fair

value method, the pro-forma effect on net loss and loss per share for the period ended September 30,

2003 would be as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30		Nine Months Ended September 30
	2003 $	2002 $	2003 $	2002 $
Net loss for the period
As reported	302,988	71,615	559,257	303,766
Compensation expense	0	4,000	7,250	178,184

The fair value of options included in the pro-forma information above has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 4.80%; an expected life of 2 years; an expected volatility of 42%; and no expectation for the payment of dividends.

FIRST POINT MINERALS CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2003 and 2002

LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted loss per share has not been calculated, as it is anti-dilutive.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the period, the Company paid a member of the Board of Directors for administrative services in the amount of $24,800 (2002 - $25,800).

FUNDS IN TRUST

The Company has a trust account, which holds $59,851, the equivalent of six months salary to an officer. The trust terminates on October 1, 2004. If the officer continues to be employed by the Company at that date, the trust funds will be returned to the Company.

LEASE OBLIGATION

The Company entered a five-year lease agreement, expiring June 30, 2007, to rent office space for $3,632 per month.

10.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES

As at November 21, 2003, there were 24,392,954 common shares outstanding.

11.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In mid-October 2003, holders of 750,000 warrants expiring in December 2003 and exerciseable into 750,000 shares at $0.30 each agreed to exercise such warrants, resulting in the Company receiving $225,000 in cash upon exercise of these warrants.

On October 30, 2003, the Company announced that, subject to regulatory approval, it would be making a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,000,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share plus one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant plus $0.30 will entitle the holder to subscribe for one additional common share. The warrants will expire two years after closing, and the shares forming part of the units and any shares resulting from the exercise of warrants will have a “hold” period of four months plus one day from closing. It is anticipated that closing will occur on or about November 27, 2003. If all 6,000,000 units are subscribed for, the Company will receive gross proceeds of $1,500,000.
