3.C. Reasons For The Offer And Use Of Proceeds
--- No Disclosure Necessary ---
Risk Factors
Cumulative Unsuccessful Exploration Efforts By Int. KRL Resources’ Personnel Could Result In the Company Having to Cease Operations:
The expenditures to be made by Int. KRL Resources in the exploration of its properties as described herein may not result in discoveries of mineralized material in commercial quantities. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable ore deposits and this occurrence could ultimately result in KRL Resources having to cease operations.
Int. KRL Resources Has No Reserves on the Properties in Which It Has an Interest and If Reserves Are Not Defined the Company Could Have to Cease Operations:
The properties in which Int. KRL Resources has an interest or the concessions in which the Int. KRL Resources has the right to earn an interest are in the exploratory stage only and are without a known body of ore. If Int. KRL Resources does not ultimately find a body of ore, it would have to cease operations.
There is No Guarantee of Clear Title to Any of the Mineral Properties to which Int. KRL Resources Has an Interest:
Unregistered agreements or unregistered transfers of title could cause Int. KRL Resources to forfeit its interests in one or more of its property interests. Forfeiting an interest in a property would result in significant capital losses to Int. KRL Resources.
Mineral Prices May Not Support Corporate Profit for Int. KRL Resources:
The resource exploration industry is intensely competitive and even if commercial quantities of mineral resources are developed (which is not guaranteed), a profitable market may not exist for the sale of same. If a profitable market does not exist Int. KRL Resources could have to cease operations.
Int. KRL Resources Has No Positive Cash Flow and No History of Significant Earnings and Is Dependent Upon Public and Private Distributions of Equity to Obtain Capital in Order to Sustain Operations. Public distributions of capital result in dilution to existing shareholders:
None of Int. KRL Resources’ properties have advanced to the commercial production stage and the Company has no significant history of earnings or positive cash flow from operations. The cumulative loss through August 31, 2005 since the Company’s inception of the development stage, according to U.S. GAAP, is ($3,998,000). The Company does not know if it will ever generate material revenue from mining operations or if it will ever achieve self-sustaining commercial mining operations. Historically, the only source of funds available to the company has been through the sale of its common-voting shares. Any future additional equity financing would cause dilution to current stockholders.
As of November 14, 2005, Int. KRL Resources had 3,745,000 share purchase options outstanding and 18,231,420 share purchase warrants outstanding. If all of the share purchase warrants and share purchase options were exercised, the number of common-voting shares issued and outstanding would increase from 39,389,726 to 61,366,146. This represents an increase of 56% in the number of shares issued and outstanding and would result in significant dilution to current shareholders.
The Amount of Capital Necessary to Meet All Environmental Regulations Associated with the Exploration Programs of Int. KRL Resources Could Be In An Amount Great Enough to Force the Company to Cease Operations:
The current and anticipated future operations of the Company including further exploration activities, require permits from various Canadian governmental authorities. Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters. Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of operations by Int. KRL Resources.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions there under, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in resource exploration may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violation of applicable laws or regulations.
Large increases in capital expenditures resulting from any of the above factors could force Int. KRL Resources to cease operations.
Operating Hazards and Risks Associated with the Mining Industry Could Result in Int. KRL Resources Having to Cease Operations:
Resource exploration activities generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved. Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of precious and base metals, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to or destruction of explorationfacilities, damage to life and property, environmental damage and legal liability for any or all damage. Int. KRL Resources may become subject to liability for cave-ins and other hazards for which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure where premium costs are disproportionate to the Company’s perception of the relevant risks. The payment of such insurance premiums and of such liabilities would reduce the funds available for exploration activities and coul d force Int. KRL Resources to cease operations.
The Risks Associated with Penny Stock Classification Could Affect the Marketability of the Common Stock of Int. KRL Resources And Shareholders Could Find It Difficult to Sell Their Stock:
The Company’s stock is subject to “penny stock” rules as defined in 1934 Securities and Exchange Act rule 3a51-1. The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The Company’s Class “A” shares are subject to these penny stock rules. Transaction costs associated with purchases and sales of penny stocks are likely to be higher than those for other securities. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than U.S. $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Company’s common-voting shares in the United States and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
Int. KRL Resources is Dependent on Key Personnel and the Absence of Any of These Individuals Could Result in the Company Having to Cease Operations:
While engaged in the business of exploiting mineral properties, the nature of Int. KRL Resources’ business, its ability to continue its exploration of potential exploration projects, and to develop a competitive edge in the marketplace, depends, 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. Int. KRL Resources’ growth will depend, on the efforts of its Senior Management, particularly its President and Chief Executive Officer, Seamus Young and its Chief Financial Officer, Judith T. Mazvihwa. Loss of these individuals could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. Int. KRL Resources has no key-man life insurance or written consulting agreements with the Senior Officers or Directors.
Control by Principal Stockholders, Officers and Directors Could Adversely Affect Stockholders of Int. KRL Resources
The Company’s Senior Management, Directors and greater-than-five-percent stockholders (and their affiliates), acting together, have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to Int. KRL Resources’ 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 Int. KRL Resources, 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.
Dilution Through Employee/Director/Consultant Options Could Adversely Affect Stockholders of Int. KRL Resources
Because the success of Int. KRL Resources is highly dependent upon its respective employees, the Company has granted to some or all of its key employees, Directors and consultants options to purchase common-voting shares as non-cash incentives. 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.
U.S. Investors May Not Be Able to Enforce Their Civil Liabilities Against Int. KRL Resources or Our Its Directors, Controlling Persons and Officers
It may be difficult to bring and enforce suits against Int. KRL Resources. The Company is a corporation incorporated in Canada under the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia. A majority of the Company's directors are residents of Canada, and all or substantial portions of their assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. holders of our common shares to effect service of process on these persons within the United States or to realize in the United States upon judgments rendered against them. In addition, a shareholder should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such persons predicated upon the U .S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States.
However, U.S. laws would generally be enforced by a Canadian court provided that those laws are not contrary to Canadian public policy, are not foreign penal laws or laws that deal with taxation or the taking of property by a foreign government and provided that they are in compliance with applicable Canadian legislation regarding the limitation of actions. Also, a Canadian court would generally recognize a judgment obtained in a U.S. Court except, for example:
a) Where the U.S. court where the judgment was rendered had no jurisdiction according to applicable Canadian law;
b) The judgment was subject to ordinary remedy (appeal, judicial review and any other judicial proceeding which renders the judgment not final, conclusive or enforceable under the laws of the applicable state) or not final, conclusive or enforceable under the laws of the applicable state;
c) The judgment was obtained by fraud or in any manner contrary to natural justice or rendered in contravention of fundamental principles of procedure;
d) A dispute between the same parties, based on the same subject matter has given rise to a judgment rendered in a Canadian court or has been decided in a third country and the judgment meets the necessary conditions for recognition in a Canadian court;
e) The outcome of the judgment of the U.S. court was inconsistent with Canadian public policy;
f) The judgment enforces obligations arising from foreign penal laws or laws that deal with taxation or the taking of property by a foreign government; or
g) There has not been compliance with applicable Canadian law dealing with the limitation of actions.
As a "foreign private issuer”, Int. KRL Resources is exempt from the Section 14 proxy rules and Section 16 of the 1934 Securities Act May Result in Shareholders Having Less Complete and Timely Data
The submission of proxy and annual meeting of shareholder information (prepared to Canadian standards) on Form 6-K may result is shareholders having less complete and timely data. The exemption from Section 16 rules regarding sales of common-voting shares by insiders may result in shareholders having less data.
Foreign Operations:
The Company’s foreign activities are subject to the risk normally associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including exchange controls and currency fluctuations, limitations on repatriation of earnings, foreign taxation, laws or policies of particular countries, labor practices and disputes, and uncertain political and economic environments, as well as risks of war and civil disturbances, or other risk that could cause exploration or development difficulties or stoppages, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation or loss of contract rights or the taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation. Foreign operations could also be adversely impacted by laws and policies of the United States affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation. The Company currently has exploration projects located in Canada.

The mechanics of Flow Through Agreements are as follows: Certain provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act allow companies in the resource sector to incur expenditures and renounce them in favor of the investor, who is entitled to claim them. The Company has incurred such Canadian exploration expenses (primarily expenses incurred for determining the existence, location, extent or quality of a mineral resource in Canada in the course of carrying out geological survey and sampling work. There is a risk to the Company that if Revenue Canada denies the d eductions in the hands of the investor penalties could be levied by Revenue Canada and that the shareholders could sue the Company for damages. The Company is confident that it is in full compliance with the Canadian Income Tax Act and does not anticipate any such difficulties.

4.B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Historical Corporate Development
For the past three years, the Company has been active in mineral exploration work in Canada in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and Saskatchewan. The Company is currently concentrating the majority of its efforts on its Nor Property in the Yukon Territory and the Copper Hill Property, which is located in Ontario. The Company has been inactive for the past three years on its Bear River Project, which is located in the Skeena Mining Division in British Columbia; however, management plans to carry out exploration work on this project during Fiscal 2006.
Copper Hill Gold Project, Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario, Canada
Location and Access to Copper Hill Gold Project
The Copper Hill property is situated in northeastern Ontario about 85 km. southeast of Timmins covering an area of 58 sq. mile (Figure 1). It is located along Highway 560 about 10 km. east of the hamlet of Shining Tree, in the Larder Lake Mining Division, NTS 41 P/11. Provincial Highway 560 crosses through the middle the property. The Bay Lumber road and several secondary old logging and forestry roads provide access to the interior parts of the property. See Figure for local location map.
The property consists of a group of 224 wholly owned mineral claims located in MacMurchy, Natal, Tyrrell, Leonard, and Churchill Townships. The company needs to spend CDN$313,442, which equates to CDN$400 per claim unit annually to keep the property in good standing for one year.
Location Map: Figure 1
Claim Map Of The Copper Hill Gold Project
During Fiscal 2002 the Company acquired a 100% interest in seven mining claims (68 units) contiguous with its Copper Hill Project. The company acquired it interest in these claims from Charles Webster, an unrelated party, by paying Mr. Webster 50,000 shares of its common stock. The Company also did fieldwork in the Golden Sylvia area of the Copper Hill Project. This fieldwork consisted of geological mapping; detailed rock sampling and exploratory drilling.
The shareholders of the Company approved a name change from KRL Resources Corp. to International KRL Resources Corp. on December 7, 2001 and at the same time approved a consolidation of the Company’s issued and unissued common shares on a basis of five old shares for one new share. Both the name change and the share consolidation became effective on March 6, 2002 with the approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
During Fiscal 2003, the Company continued exploration work on its Copper Hill Project. On October 9, 2002, the Company sold 1,300,000 units for gross proceeds of $195,000. These funds were used for further exploration work on the Golden Sylvia portion of the Copper Hill Project. After three months of work, on January 6, 2003, the Company announced that it had completed this program and would begin to drill test the results of the findings. A 1500-meter drill hole program was started on February 13, 2003. This program consisted of ten drill holes, five of which were completed by March 3, 2003. An additional three drill holes were completed by the end of March 2003. The Company announced at the end of March 2003 that the drill program had been expanded from 1500 meters to 2500 meters and would consist of twelve drill holes. This program was completed on April 15, 2003.
During Fiscal 2004 the Company continued work on the Copper Hill Project. On October 30, 2003, the Company announced that it begun a new drill program on the Jude Zone (formerly called the Golden Sylvia Zone) and the adjacent Golden Sylvia Iron Formation Zone. Four drill holes were completed by November 5, 2003. Two of these were on the Jude Zone and two were on the Golden Sylvia Iron Formation Zone. Two additional drill holes were completed on the Golden Sylvia Iron Formation Zone by November 13, 2003.
On November 17, 2003, management announced that they planned to expand their exploration program at the Copper Hill Project to include searching for nickel.
On December 1, 2003, the Company announced that it had received assay data for all of the drill holes completed during the program announced on October 30, 2003, on both the Jude Zone and the Golden Sylvia Iron Formation Zone. The Golden Sylvia Iron Formation Zone was the main focus of this particular drill program and, because of the results obtained from the drilling; management decided that the Company would continue a systematic exploration program to fully evaluate the Zone along strike and at depth.
On December 2, 2003, the Company announced that it had acquired an additional ten kilometers of unexplored iron formation located to the south, southeast of the Golden Sylvia Iron Formation Zone.
On December 9, 2003, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire an additional forty-seven mineral claims in the area.
On January 29, 2004 RAB Special Situations L.P., an unrelated financial institution located in the United Kingdom, announced that it had subscribed for 3,900,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share. Each unit consisted of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant which entitled RAB Financial to purchase an additional share at a rice of $0.20 for a period of one year. (This transaction took place off the market by way of a private placement.)
On February 9, 2004, the Company announced that it had entered into an option agreement with a private unrelated company called Hemlo North Shore Inc. to jointly explore the Decker Claim Block located in the northeast portion of the Company’s Copper Hill Property. Under the terms of this agreement, Hemlo North Shore Inc. agreed to spend a total of $1.2 million on the project over a four-year period to earn a 50% interest in the Decker Claim Block with a minimum annual commitment of $300,000 per year. On February 18, 2004, the Company and Hemlo North Shore Inc. began a 1040-meter drill program on the project.
ON March 3, 2004, the Company began a high-resolution, fixed-wing airborne
geophysical survey on the Copper Hill Project.
On March 25, 2004, the Company announced that it had completed a 1009 meter drill program, consisting of five drill holes, on the LG Zone located with the Copper Hill Project as well as three drill holes on the Tiger Zone, which is located approximately 300 meters to the south-east. The Company will use the results of this drill program to plan further exploration activity in this area once they are available.
On June 10, 2004, the Company started a reverse circulation-drilling program on the Golden Sylvia Iron Formation Zone located within the Copper Hill Project. This program consists of nine vertical reverse circulation drill holes totaling 1,115 meters. On June 24, 2004, the Company announced that it had completed eight of the nine drill holes and was, at that time, drilling the ninth hole. All of the drill holes, which were completed, were drilled to a depth of approximately 100 meters. The Company completed this drill program on July 6, 2004.
In August/September 2005, International KRL Resources Corp. drilled CH-05-14 to test the GEOTEM conductor in the middle of North Foley Lake, located on the eastern extension of the Red Dome Rhyolite on the Copper Hill Property. The 600 m long conductor, striking roughly north-west/south-east and dipping to the south-west, was identified by a GEOTEM airborne electromagnetic survey carried out in the winter 2004.
The 351m hole intersected a sequence of fragmental felsic volcanics, chert and mafic volcanics with moderate carbonate, minor sericite and local hematite alteration. No significant assay results were identified in this unit. The last 3.9 meters of the hole returned a weighted average of 0.8grams/tonne gold. The Qualified Person for this project is J. L. LeBel (P.Eng.).
In 2005, the Company also carried out an extensive prospecting, mapping and rock chip sampling program covering all the magnetic and EM conductors identified by the airborne survey carried out in 2004. The results of this survey will be released as soon as they have been compiled.

Nor Property, Yukon Territory, Canada (Uranium)
The Nor Uranium Property is located on the east flank of the Richardson Mountains, about 65 km east of the Dempster Highway and 250km north of Dawson City, Yukon Territory. The property exhibits some similarities to the Olympic Dam Geology Model in Australia, including some similarities in geology, presence of anomalous uranium, copper, gold and rare earth elements and very large magnetic and gravity anomalies. The property has not previously been explored as a uranium target.
The Nor Property is comprised of 236 claims covering 48 sq.km and is an iron oxide/copper/gold (IOCG) target. The property is associated with a large gravity and magnetic anomaly with the Nor heterolithic hematite-rich diatreme breccia outlined along an 8km strike. The Nor Property is underlain by Proterozoic rocks of the Wernecke Supergroup that have been intruded by a heterolithic, hematite- rich diatreme breccia. The property is located on the east side of the Richardson Mountains in an area that is transacted by the Richardson Fault array. These faults are part of a major rift system that became active during Proterozoic time and has remained active since that time during the development of the Cordillera. The exposure of Proterozoic rocks is a faulted-bounded outlier that is surrounded by Paleozoic sedimentary rocks that dip gently away to the east and west from the Nor Property.
International KRL acquired the right to earn a 100% interest subject to a 2% NSR by an option agreement signed in October, 2004. The terms of the option are detailed in note 6(b) in the financial statements. Since signing the option, the Company has staked additional ground contiguous to, and in the vicinity of, the property.
The Nor Property now comprises 282 claims. In 2005 International KRL Resources Corp. carried out a geophysics and geochemical sampling program. The aeromagnetic helicopter survey was flown by McPhar Geosurveys Ltd. (McPhar) using a high-sensitivity caesium magnetometer. The magnetometer bird was flown at a nominal height of 45m. The survey totalled 1155 km on 155 flight lines (100m spacing), plus 123 km on 8 tie lines (1 km spacing). The flight lies were flown at an azimuth of 65o and the perpendicular tie lines at 155o. The data were field processed by McPhar then forwarded to their Newmarket office for final levelling and filtering.
The survey was successful in defining many obvious and more subtle features of the Richardson fault array as well as providing high resolution magnetic coverage of the Nor ridge. Standard colour contoured Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) map a collection of filtered and derivative maps were produced and a presentation of the survey was given to the Company by VOX Geoscience Ltd. The Qualified Person for the geophysical portion of the project is Ken Robertson (P.Geo.).
The Company also completed a geochemical soil survey on the property. Over 1,100 soil samples were collected for analysis from a surveyed grid on the property this year. Soil samples were collected at 50m intervals along survey lines spaced at 400m and 200m apart. Geochemical analyses for 36 elements were conducted by Acme Analytical Labs in Vancouver. Sampling was conducted by a crew from Ryanwood Exploration under the direction of Mark Terry, the on-site company geologist. The Qualified Person for the program is Michael H. Sanguinetti, P. Eng.
Initial evaluation of the geochemical results has shown coincident copper and uranium anomalies extending intermittently along 8.5 kilometres over the surveyed length of the property. In addition, coincident rare earth element (REE) anomalies occur along the anomalous copper-uranium trend. Evaluation of the geochemical anomalies with the results of geological mapping, rock sampling and the induced polarization survey is in progress and will be reported in a timely manner.

Property Description and Location
The Nor Uranium Property is located on the east flank of the Richardson Mountains, about 65 km east of the Dempster Highway and 250km north of Dawson City, Yukon Territory. The property exhibits some similarities to the Olympic Dam Uranium Mine property in Australia, including some similarities in geology, presence of anomalous uranium, copper, gold and rare earth elements and very large magnetic and gravity anomalies. The property has not previously been explored as a uranium target.
Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography
The property is accessible by helicopter from the Eagle Plains Lodge on the Dempster Highway, 65km west of the property. The nearest community is Fort McPherson, 140km north of the property.
The topography on the property is of moderate relief. The whole property is covered by permafrost, from the valley to the highest point on the ridge is 290m.
The climate is typical of the Yukon Territory, in that it is very cold (-50oC) in the winter and relatively warm in the summers (+30oC). The precipitation is high/moderate.
Future Plans by International KRL Resources
The Issuer is currently engaged in compiling results from the exploration program of 2005. The most recent work consisted of geophysical, geochemical surveys, extensive mapping and prospecting. The geophysics program was carried out by McPhar Geophysics Ltd. The purpose of this work is to assist ongoing exploration efforts and to generate exploration targets.
The Company plans to continue its exploration work on the Nor Property and plans to drill the property in the next exploration season of 2006.
Carswell Property, Saskatchewan - Uranium
The Carswell uranium property is located on the Carswell Dome Formation in the Athabasca Basin. The property is adjacent to the Cluff Lake Uranium Mine boundary. The Cluff Lake Mine has been one of the largest producers of uranium in the world. Subsequent to the period end, the Company granted an option to Essendon Solutions Inc. to acquire a 50% interest in the property for total present and future consideration of $25,000, 200,000 shares and a commitment to expend $100,000 on exploration on the property.
Bear River Property
The Company owns a 100% interest in three mineral claims, representing 31 units, located in the Skeena Mining Division of British Columbia.
The property is available for option. The Company has not done any exploration work on the property since Fiscal 1999, ended May 31, 1999.
ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion for the fiscal years ended 5/31/2005, 5/31/2004, and 5/31/2003 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto.
Overview
During the year, the Company raised a gross amount of $2.2 million from private placements and the exercise of warrants. $62,000 was spent on property option payments and new property acquisitions. $790,000 was spent on mineral exploration. Administration expenses amounted to $309,000 (calculated as total expenses less financing fees, option gains, write-offs and write-downs and stock based compensation).
With the price of precious metals rising since November 2001, management will concentrate the majority of its efforts on the Company’s mineral exploration projects in Canada.
SELECTED ANNUAL INFORMATION (expressed in Canadian dollars)
May 31, 2005 | May 31, 2004 | May 31, 2003 | |
Net loss | (859,431) | (520,094) | (410,918) |
Net loss per share | (0.03) | (0.03) | (0.04) |
Total assets | 5,569,509 | 3,755,045 | 2,709,503 |
As the Company has no revenues, increased activity causes increased losses. Other losses can be caused by write-downs or write-offs of assets which do not follow a trend. The increased success in the past year in the raising of capital has allowed the company to increase its activity which has resulted in a higher loss figure.
Results of Operations
Fiscal Year 2005 Ended 5/31/2005 vs Fiscal Year 2004 Ended 5/31/2004
Net loss in the current year was $859,431 compared to $520,094 in the prior year. Most office expense categories increased due to increased activity by the Company however other categories benefited from increased sharing of costs by Logan Resources Ltd. Significant line item changes were as follows:
·
Accounting and legal dropped from $94,797 to $29,470 due to a combination of factors including extra accounting needed for the Company's registration with the SEC in the prior year, Canaccord financing legal costs in the prior year of $20,000 and a $12,000 reversal in the current year of prior year legal fees recorded in error.
·
Administration salaries were up from $48,597 to $80,155 due to the hiring on a shared basis of additional office staff.
·
Financing fees and expenses were up from $95,421 to $250,404 due mainly to the increase in capital raised from $1.5 million in 2004 to $2.2 million in 2005 and a more rigorous categorization of financing direct legal and broker legal costs to financing.
·
Promotion and travel decreased from $71,715 to $41,207 due to decreased travel costs that in the prior year included a trip to Europe and attendance at shows by more company personnel. This year the Company participated in the New York Gold Show, New Orleans Investor Conference, the San Francisco Investor Show, the Vancouver Investment Conference and the Prospectors and Developers Conference. However, in the current year, Logan Resources Ltd. was able to share much of the costs. Also, in the prior year, more was spent on custom display material.
·
Stock exchange and filing fees were down from $41,595 to $16,504 mainly due to costs associated with registration with the SEC incurred in the prior year.
·
Stock-based compensation increased from $39,722 to $327,787 due to increased grants of stock options to employees, consultants, and financing agents and an increase in the expected volatility of the Company's share price. This expense is entirely non-cash.
·
The gain on property option represents the excess of the value of shares and cash received during the year pursuant to the optioning of 50% of the Company’s interest in the Carswell property, over the Company’s cost of acquisition and exploration on the property.
SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

Net loss | (534,215) | (101,255) | (88,291) | (135,670) | (150,820) | (162,766) | (149,450) | (57,059) |

For each of the above periods, the Company had no revenue. Net loss and loss before discontinued operations and extraordinary items was the same for all periods. Net loss per share was the same on a basic and diluted basis for all periods.
Loss in the last quarter was exceptionally high due to $309,607 of non-cash stock based compensation and $211,564 of financing costs associated with the $1.8 million in financings of that quarter.
LIQUIDITY
As at May 31, 2005, the Company had a working capital balance of $1,439,778. This included flow-through share funds of $1.3 million, which are committed to mineral exploration in Canada. Since the year end, the Company has raised an additional $545,000 from the issue of non-flow-through shares and an additional $312,500 from the issue of flow-through shares. These funds will be sufficient for the Company to meet its working capital needs and property payment commitments (currently $30,000) in the coming year and to carry out a significant amount of exploration. Nonetheless, in the longer term, as the company has no regular source of revenue, it will be continuing to seek new equity capital, through private placements or public offerings.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
Marketable securities, on the balance sheet at the current year end, represents shares received, as option payments, on the Carswell property.
The increase in mineral properties of $874,920 includes acquisition of the Nor property in the Yukon - $73,665 and the Carswell property in Saskatchewan - Nil (after recording the full recovery of the original $4,071 of staking costs by optioning 50% of the property to ESO Minerals). Additionally, $19,000 was spent on option payments and staking on the Copper Hill property before write-offs of $18,000. The remaining increase of $802,065, represents explorations expenditures on the Copper Hill property in Ontario ($735,000) and the start of a continuing geophysics program on the Nor property in the Yukon ($78,183 before tax credits).
The net reduction in related party receivables and payables of $10,141 is mostly made up of a reduction in amounts receivable from Logan Resources Ltd. for shared office costs including accounting and mineral property management.
The increase in share capital of $2.3 million is due to private placement financings, the exercise of warrants, share payments to financing agents and the issue of shares under property options, the details of which are listed in note 8 to the financial statements.
Contributed surplus increases represent the value of stock-based compensation made during the year to employees, contractors and financing agents.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal Year 2004 Ended 5/31/2004 vs Fiscal Year 2003 Ended 5/31/2003
The Company has no producing properties and consequently has no operating income or cash flow from its mineral properties. Exploration expenditures are capitalized as incurred until and unless it is determined that the property is to be abandoned. At that time all capitalized costs of the property are written off to operations in the current period.
Net loss increased in 2004 by approximately $110,000 over the net loss for the prior year. For the most part, this increase is represented by administration expense increases.
Administration expenses increased by approximately $130,000 over the previous year. This was largely due to an increased effort by management to communicate to investors and to raise new capital, increased filing fees and new stock-based compensation rules. The reduction in financing fees was due to more direct investments in the Company. The new investor relations caption represents costs of in-house investor relations consultants. Legal fees were lower mainly due to a title search and opinion carried out in the previous year. Promotion and travel costs increased as management attended more mining conventions than the prior year and had greater representation. This caption also includes additional costs in support of the new investor relations personnel. Stock exchange and filing fees increased substantially due to registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“20F registration”) whic h was completed subsequently to the year-end. The new caption, stock-based compensation, represents the value of stock options granted to directors, employees and consultants. As noted in the financial statements, the Black-Scholes method was used to value these options at a weighted average amount of $0.03 per share. These amounts have no effect on the cash flow of the company. No amount was recorded in the prior year as the requirement to record these amounts, by the CICA, only came into effect in the current year.
The operator management fees represent fees earned under an option agreement signed during the year that optioned out 50% of the Company’s interest in the Decker Claim Block of the Copper Hill property. Pursuant to this agreement, the optionee is to fund a total $1.2 million worth of exploration on the property, including a supervision fee to the Company for supervising the exploration.

FOURTH QUARTER
No significant changes in the Company’s activities occurred in the fourth quarter. The drill program on the Golden Sylvia Iron Formation continued.
Results of Operations
Fiscal 2003 Ended 5/31/2003 vs. Fiscal 2002 Ended 5/31/2002
During the financial years ending May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002, the company realized no income.
The Company’s activity increased significantly during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002. This increased activity is described in the prior section: 4.B Business Overview.
Expenses incurred during the financial year ended May 31, 2003, were $410,918, which represented an increase of $260,946 over expenses of $149,972 incurred during the financial year ended May 31, 2002.
The most significant component of the increase in expenses was in the category of “financing fees”. During Fiscal 2003, the Company raised $1,060,500 through the sale of units and the exercise of share purchase options. During Fiscal 2002, the Company only raised $237,500 resulting in significantly lower associated costs which are directly correlated with the size of the financing.
During Fiscal 2003 other notable expense category increases resulting from the increased corporate activity were as follows:
1.
Accounting and audit: An increase of $12,691 or 77%. The increase in these fees was a direct result of the higher number of financings, which occurred during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002. Each financing required separate input from the Company’s auditor.
2.
Legal fees: An increase of $64,788 or approximately 400%. The increase in these fees was a direct result of the higher number of financings, which occurred during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002. Each financing required legal services from the Company’s legal counsel. These services consisted primarily of the preparation of offering documents.
3.
Office and miscellaneous: An increase of $12,106 or 118%. The increase in office and miscellaneous expenses was the result of staff expenses resulting from the higher level of activity.
4.
Promotion and travel: An increase of $31,769 or 234%. This increase resulted from the Company’s decision to increase awareness among Canadian investors of the changes, which were occurring within the structure of the Company and its operations. Investor meetings were conducted informing people of the name change, share re-organization (roll-back) and increased activity on the mineral properties.
5.
Salaries and benefits: An increase of $23,653 or 157%. This increase resulted from the slightly large staff necessitated by the increased corporate activity.
The Company spent $558,655 during Fiscal 2003 on its mineral properties as compared to $118,931 during Fiscal 2002. The expenses for each fiscal year are outlined below:
For the Years Ended May 31st
Exploration and Development Costs | 2003 | 2002 |

Critical Accounting Policies
Management is required to make judgments, 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. On a regular basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The significant US GAAP versus Canadian GAAP accounting policies that are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating reported financial results include: the expensing of mineral property acquisition/exploration costs and accounting for stock-based compensation.
The Company capitalizes mineral property acquisition/exploration/development costs until the property is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or otherwise abandoned. All mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs have been acquired for cash and/or common-voting shares. The company performs periodic evaluations to evaluate recoverability of mineral property costs. Under US GAAP, for exploration stage properties, all acquisition costs are capitalized in the period incurred subject to annual impairment assessment as set forth in SFAS 144 and EITF 04-03. Exploration costs are expensed in the period incurred.
For US GAAP purposes, the Company had elected under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) to continue to apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation under APB 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Under the intrinsic value method, stock compensation is the excess, if any, of the quoted market value of the stock at the measured date of the grant over the amount an optionee must pay to acquire the stock. Under US GAAP, the issue of stock options to non-employees is accounted for under SFAS 123. The fair value of the stock options granted to non-employees will be estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield; expected volatility; risk-free interest rate; and expected average option life. There were no stock optio ns granted or outstanding during Fiscal 2002/2001/2000. The first calculation and footnote disclosure was adopted for Fiscal 2003 Ended January 31st.

Description of the Company’s Stock Option Plan:
At the Company’s annual general meeting held on November 17, 2005, shareholders approved the adoption of the 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in order to provide incentive to employees, management and others who provide services to the Company to act in the best interest of the Company.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Issuer has authorized the reservation of up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer for the grant of options from time to time. Under the Plan, the Board may from time to time grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Issuer, as the Board shall designate, options to purchase from the Issuer such number of common shares of the Board shall designate. Some of the significant terms of the Plan are as follows.
1.
Options may be granted on authorized but unissued common shares up to but not exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer at the time of any such grant of options.
2.
The total number of common shares to be reserved for issuance over the previous twelve month period for any optionee shall not exceed 5% of the issued common shares of the Issuer at the time of grant with the exception that, as long as the Issuer’s common shares are listed on Tier 2 of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”), the total number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance over the previous twelve months period for individuals engaged in an investor relations capacity shall not exceed 2% of the issued common shares of the Issuer at the time of grant. In addition, the total number of common shares to be reserved for issuance over the previous twelve-month period for any one consultant, shall not exceed 2% of the issued common shares of the Issuer at the time of grant.
3.
While the Issuer’s common shares are listed on the TSX-V, the purchase price per common share for any option granted under the Plan shall not be less than the discounted market price of the Issuer’s common shares in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V. At such time as the Issuer’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSE”) the purchase price per common share for any option granted under the Plan shall be not less than the fair market value in accordance with the policies of the TSE.
4.
Options granted must expire not later than a maximum of five years from the date of the grant while the Issuer’s common shares are listed on Tier 2 of the TSX-V. At such time as the Issuer’s common shares are listed on Tier 1 of the TSX-V or the TSE options granted must expire not later than a maximum of ten years from the date of grant.
5.
In the event that the Plan is amended to permit the number of common shares reserved for issue under the Plan to exceed of 10% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer, then, provided the Issuer’s common shares are listed on “Tier 2 of the TSX-V all options will vest in equal amounts over consecutive quarterly periods for a period of no less than eighteen months from the date of grant. At such time as the Issuer’s common shares are listed on Tier 1 of the TSX-V or the TSE, options will vest at the discretion of the board of directors.
6.
All options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be non-assignable and non-transferable.
7.

The TSX Venture Exchange
The TSX Venture Exchange is a result of the acquisition by the Toronto Stock Exchange of the Canadian Venture Exchange (“CDNX”) from its member firms on 8/1/2001. The CDNX resulted from the merger between the Vancouver Stock Exchange and the Alberta Stock Exchange that took place on 11/29/1999, to form the CDNX. The TSX Venture Exchange currently operates as a complementary but independent exchange from its parent, the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The initial roster of the CDNX was made up of venture companies previously listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange or the Alberta Stock Exchange and later incorporated junior listings from the Montreal Stock Exchange, the Winnipeg Stock Exchange, and the CDN Over-The-Counter Market. The TSX Venture Exchange is a venture market as compared to the Toronto Stock Exchange that is Canada’s senior market and the Montreal Exchange that is Canada’s market for derivatives products.
The TSX Venture Exchange currently has five service centers: Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Montreal. These service centers provide corporate finance, surveillance and marketing expertise. The corporate office for the TSX Venture Exchange is located in Calgary and the operations office is located in Vancouver.
The TSX Venture Exchange is a self-regulating organization owned and operated by the Toronto Stock Exchange, which in turn is owned by its member brokerage firms. Representatives of member firms and the public govern it.
Organizationally, the TSX Venture Exchange is comprised of seven business areas: Corporate Finance Services, Trading Services and Market Information Services, Compliance, Marketing, Technology, Corporate Affairs and Human Resources.
The TSX Venture Exchange acts as a business link between TSX members, listed companies and investors. TSX Venture Exchange policies and procedures are designed to accommodate companies still in their formative stages and recognize those that are more established. Listings are predominately small and medium sized companies.
The Canadian Investor Protection Fund (“CIPF”) protects investors in Canada. The CIPF is a private trust fund established to protect customers in the event of the insolvency of a member of any of the following self-regulatory organizations: the TSX Venture Exchange; the Montreal Exchange; the Toronto Stock Exchange; the Toronto Futures Exchange; and the Investment Dealers Association of Canada.
Post-trade monitoring of market activity occurs in the market surveillance department. Sophisticated software analyses trade data from TRADETSX to detect possible market improprieties. A variety of surveillance and investigative tools allow the TSX Venture Exchange to perform electronic market monitoring and trade reviews.
The surveillance department is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing listed company activities and detecting breaches of the listing policies or the listing agreement. Market surveillance and listed company surveillance activities are closely coordinated.

This private placement financing consisted of 325,000 units at a price of $0.15 per unit. Each unit consisted of one “flow-through” share and one share purchase warrant exercisable to acquire one additional “flow-through” share at a price of $0.15 per share on or before December 31, 1999, or at a price of $0.20 per share on or before December 31, 2000. The mechanics of Flow Through Agreements are as follows: Certain provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act allow companies in the resource sector to incur expenditures and renounce them in favor of the investor, who is entitled to claim them. The Company has incurred such Canadian exploration expenses (primarily expenses incurred for determining the existence, location, extent or quality of a mineral resource in Canada in the course of carrying out geological survey and sampling work. There is a risk to the Company that if Revenue Canada denies the d eductions in the hands of the investor penalties could be levied by Revenue Canada and that the shareholders could sue the Company for damages. The Company is confident that it is in full compliance with the Canadian Income Tax Act and does not anticipate any such difficulties.

10.E. Taxation
Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a brief summary of some of the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences to a holder of the common-voting shares of the Company (a "U.S. Holder") who deals at arm's length with the Company, holds the shares as capital property and who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Act") and the Canada – United States Income Tax Convention (the "Treaty"), is at all relevant times resident in the United States, is not and is not deemed to be resident in Canada and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the shares in carrying on a business in Canada. Special rules, which are not discussed below, may apply to a U.S. Holder that is an insurer that carries on business in Canada and elsewhere.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and should not be interpreted as, legal or tax advice to any particular U.S. Holder and no representation is made with respect to the Canadian income tax consequences to any particular person. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.
Under the Act and the Treaty, a U.S. Holder of the common-voting shares will generally be subject to a 15% withholding tax on dividends paid or credited or deemed by the Act to have been paid or credited on such shares. The withholding tax rate is 5% where the U.S. Holder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company and the dividends may be exempt from such withholding in the case of some U.S. Holders such as qualifying pension funds and charities.
In general, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on capital gains arising on the disposition of shares of the Company unless (i) at any time in the five-year period immediately preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company was owned by (or was under option of or subject to an interest of) the U.S. holder or persons with whom the U.S. holder did not deal at arm's length, and (ii) the value of the common-voting shares of the Company at the time of the disposition derives principally from real property (as defined in the Treaty) situated in Canada. For this purpose, the Treaty defines real property situated in Canada to include rights to explore for or exploit mineral deposits and other natural resources situated in Canada, rights to amounts computed by reference to the amount or value of production from such resources, certain other rights in respect of natura l resources situated in Canada and shares of a corporation the value of whose shares is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.
The US Internal Revenue Code provides special anti-deferral rules regarding certain distributions received by US persons with respect to, and sales and other dispositions (including pledges) of stock of, a passive foreign investment company. A foreign corporation, such as the Company, will be treated as a passive foreign investment company if 75% or more of its gross income is passive income for a taxable year or if the average percentage of its assets (by value) that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is at least 50% for a taxable year. The Company believes that it was not a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year ended January 31, 2003 and, furthermore, expects to conduct its affairs in such a manner so that it will not meet the criteria to be considered passive foreign investment company in the foreseeable future.
Dividends
A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax ("Part XIII Tax") equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on common shares. Under the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980) as amended by the Protocols signed on 6/14/1983, 3/28/1984, 3/17/1995, and 7/29/1997 (the "Treaty"), the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States and who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, 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 Receiver Genera l 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-voting shares equal to the difference between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted tax basis of the common-voting shares. The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital loss if the Company's common-voting shares are a capital asset in U.S. Taxpayer's hands.
For federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Taxpayer will be required to include in gross income dividends received on the Company's common-voting 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.
The US Internal Revenue Code provides special anti-deferral rules regarding certain distributions received by US persons with respect to, and sales and other dispositions (including pledges) of stock of, a passive foreign investment company. A foreign corporation, such as the Company, will be treated as a passive foreign investment company if 75% or more of its gross income is passive income for a taxable year or if the average percentage of its assets (by value) that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is at least 50% for a taxable year. The Company believes that it was not a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year ended 1/31/2003 and, furthermore, expects to conduct its affairs in such a manner so that it will not meet the criteria to be considered passive foreign investment company in the foreseeable future.
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.

Reserve:That part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission requires a final or full Feasibility Study to support either Proven or Probable Reserves and does not recognize other classifications of mineralized deposits. | Mineral Reserve:The economically mineable part of a Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. |
Proven (Measured) Reserves: Reserves for which a quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, share, depth, and mineral content of reserves are well established. | Proven Mineral Reserve:The economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction is justified. |
Probable (Indicated) Reserves:For which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. | Probable Mineral Reserve:The economically mineable part of an indicated, and in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource, demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. |

(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 2005 AND 2004
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS
International KRL Resources Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia and is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties throughout Canada. The Company is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company is an exploration stage company. The exploration activities of the Company have been primarily funded by the issuance of share capital. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient equity financing and financial support from related parties and to generate profitable operations in the future. The Company has working capital of $1,439,778 and an accumulated deficit of $6,325,019 as at May 31, 2005. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any additional equity financing to continue its exploration projects over and above working capital as stated.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Failure to continue as a going concern would require that stated amounts of assets and liabilities be reflected on a liquidation basis, which will differ from the going concern basis.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
(b)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(c)
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are recorded at cost. The carried amount is reduced to market value where there has been a decline in value below cost, that is other than temporary.
(d)
Loss Per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the Year. The Company applies the treasury stock method in calculating diluted EPS. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Loss per share information does not include the effect of any potential common shares, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(f)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on currently available information. Such estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
(g)
Long-lived assets
The Company monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets, based on factors such as current market value, future asset utilization, business climate and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the related assets. The Company's policy is to record an impairment loss in the year when it is determined that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from the asset.
(h)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the declining balance method at the following rates:
Office and field equipment | 20% | |
Computer equipment | 30% | |
Vehicle | 30% | |
Software | 50% |
In the year of acquisition, amortization is recorded at one-half the above rates.
(i)
Income taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the accounting and taxes bases of existing assets and liabilities, and are measured using the tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against any future tax asset if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
(j)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3870 “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments”. When stock or stock options are issued to employees or non-employees, compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of the stock or stock options issued.
(k)
Stock Issuance Costs
The Company charges all costs relating to issuing shares and raising capital directly to operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(l)
Flow-through Shares
The Company has adopted EIC-146, which is effective for all flow-through share transactions initiated after March 19, 2004. Canadian tax legislation permits a company to issue securities referred to as flow-through shares whereby the investor may claim the tax deductions arising from the related resource expenditures. When resource expenditures are renounced to the investors and the Company has reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be completed, a future income tax liability is recognized and the shareholders’ equity is reduced.
If the Company has sufficient unused tax loss carry-forwards to offset all or part of this future income tax liability and no future income tax assets have been previously recognized for these carry-forwards, a portion, of such unrecognized losses, is recorded as income up to the amount of the future income tax liability that was previously recognized on the renounced expenditures.
(m)
Comparative Figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
3.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities, recorded at a cost of $27,000, had a quoted market value of $27,000 at May 31, 2005. In 2005 marketable securities valued at $31,000 were received for option payments and written down to a market value at year end of $27,000.
4.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances to and from related parties. In management's opinion the company is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency exchange rate or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their current nature. The company is not party to any derivative instruments.

INCOME TAXES (continued)
At May 31, 2005 the Company had non-capital losses of $2,640,000 to carry forward to reduce future years’ taxable income, expiring as follows:
$ | $ | |||||
2006 | 1,386,000 | 2010 | 315,000 | |||
2007 | 138,000 | 2014 | 289,000 | |||
2008 | 118,000 | 2015 | 281,000 | |||
2009 | 113,000 |
At May 31, 2005, the Company had cumulative Canadian Exploration Expenses of approximately $1,171,000 which are deductible 100% against future years’ taxable income and have no expiry date.
At May 31, 2005, the Company had cumulative Canadian Development Expenses of approximately $1,033,000 which are deductible 30% against future years’ taxable income and have no expiry date.
In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of future tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of future tax asset considered realizable could change materially in the near term based on future taxable income during the carry forward period.

Under Canadian GAAP, companies have the option to defer exploration expenditures on prospective properties until such time as it is determined that further work is not warranted, at which point capitalized costs would be written off. Under US GAAP, all exploration expenditures are expensed until an independent feasibility study has determined that the property is capable of commercial production. At this stage, the Company has not yet identified economically recoverable reserves on any of its interests. Accordingly, under US GAAP, all exploration costs incurred are expensed.
