3.C. Reasons For The Offer And Use Of Proceeds
--- Not Applicable ---
3.D. 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 May 31, 2007 since the Company’s inception of the development stage, according toU.S. GAAP, is ($15,775,531???). 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 October 25, 2007, Int. KRL Resources had 4,250,000 share purchase options outstanding and 8,623,356 share purchase warrants outstanding. If all of the share purchase warrants and share purchase options were exercised, the number of common shares issued and outstanding would increase from 66,236,641
14
to 79,109,997. This represents an increase of 19% 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 exploration facilities, 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 could force Int. KRL Resources to cease operations.
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-
15
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 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 laws of British Columbia, and governed by the Business Corporations Act (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; |
16
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. |
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.

4.B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Historical Corporate Development
For the past four years, the Company has been active in mineral exploration in Canada in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and Saskatchewan. The Company is currently focusing its exploration activities for base and precious metals on its Nor, U Claims, White River Copper, and Turn River properties in the Yukon Territory, Carswell Property in Saskatchewan, and its Copper Hill Property in Ontario. The U Claims, White River Copper, and the Turn River properties are recent acquisitions and the Company is seeking a strategic partnership for its Bear River property in British Columbia. The Copper Hill Property has been transferred to International KRL’s subsidiary, Golden Harp Resources.
COPPER HILL GOLD PROJECT, LARDER LAKE MINING DIVISION, ONTARIO, CANADA
Location and Access to the Copper Hill Gold Project
The Copper Hill property is situated in northeastern Ontario about 85 km southeast of Timmins covering an area of 56 sq. mile (17,000 hectares) (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 1 for local location map.
The property consists of a group of 244 wholly owned mineral claims located in MacMurchy, Natal, Tyrrell, Leonard, Kevin, and Churchill Townships. The company needs to spend CDN$368,400, which equates to CDN$400 per claim unit annually to keep the property in good standing for one year.

Spin Off of the Copper Hill Property to Golden Harp Resources Inc- Wholly Owned Subsidiary of International KRL Resources Corp.
Reduction of Stated Capital and Return of Capital
Introduction
The Company owns 10,000,000 common shares (the “GHR Shares”) in the capital of Golden Harp Resources Inc. (“GHR”) which were acquired by the Company in a spin-off of its Copper Hill Property (as more fully described below under “GHR Background”). GHR is currently seeking reporting issuer status and if successful, the Company proposes, subject to the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”) to distribute all of the GHR Shares (the “Return of Capital Shares”) to shareholders of the Companypro rata,based on the respective numbers of Common Shares held as of the record date for such distribution, as described below.
It is proposed that the distribution of the Return of Capital Shares by the Company will be by way of return of capital (the “Return of Capital”). In order to do so, the Company proposes to reduce its stated capital by an amount equal to the aggregate fair market value of the Return of Capital Shares (the “Reduction of Capital Amount”).
Under Section 74 of theBusiness Corporations Act(British Columbia) the Company can reduce its stated capital if it is authorized to do so by an order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”). The Company proposes to seek such approval when GHR becomes a reporting issuer and its shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
In the interim, to satisfy the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange concerning the disposition by the Company of a significant asset of the Company, the shareholders were asked to consider passing, with or without amendment, an ordinary resolution (the “Stated Capital Reduction Resolution). At International KRL Resources Corp.’s Annual General Meeting held on November 29, 2006, the majority shareholders voted in favor of distributing the share of Golden Harp Resources Inc. to its shareholders and passed the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution. This authorized the Company to reduce its stated capital by the Reduction of Capital Amount, consideration for which will be provided by way of distribution of the Return of Capital Sharespro rata,based on the respective numbers of Common Shares held, to all shareholders of the Company of record on the close of business on the 7th trading day after the day on which the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution is approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Return of Capital Record Date”).
The Reduction of Capital Amount will be based upon the 10-day weighted average trading price of the GHS Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for the 10-day period preceding the date of the application to the Court for approval of the Reduction of Stated Capital or upon such other reasonable basis as may be determined by the Court.
It is intended that the Return of Capital will, if approved by the Court, occur as soon as practicable following the establishment of the Return of Capital Record Date. As described above, the Return of Capital Shares will be distributed to the shareholders of the Company (as at the Return of Capital Record Date)pro rata,based on the respective numbers of Common Shares held by them as at the Return of Capital Record Date.
GHR Background
GHR was incorporated in May 2006 as a subsidiary of the Company for the purpose of “spinning -off” to the Company’s shareholders its various mineral properties located in the Shining Tree Area in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of
22
Northeast Ontario (the “Copper Hill Property”).
The Return of Capital Shares were issued to the Company on May 31, 2006 when 10,000,000 GHR Shares were issued to the Company in consideration of the transfer by the Company of the Copper Hill Property at a deemed issue price of $0.32 per share. GHR is currently seeking reporting issuer status and proposes to complete an initial public offering (the “GHR IPO”) early in 2007 and list its shares on the TSX Venture Exchange. There can be no assurance that that such listing will be completed or that the GHR IPO will be completed.
Mechanics of the Return of Capital Distribution
As noted above, it is anticipated that the Return of Capital will occur as soon as practicable following the Return of Capital Record Date through the distribution of the Return of Capital Shares to shareholders of the Company of record as of the Return of Capital Record Date(pro rata,based on the respective numbers of Common Shares held).
Shareholders will not be required to pay for any Return of Capital Shares that they receive under the Return of Capital nor will they be required to surrender or exchange Common Shares in order to receive Return of Capital Shares or to take any other action in connection with such distribution.
No fractional Return of Capital Shares will be distributed under the Return of Capital and no consideration will be paid in lieu thereof. Any fractional Return of Capital Shares that persons would otherwise be entitled to receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The balance of Return of Capital Shares not distributed to shareholders as a result of such rounding down will not be distributed under the Return of Capital and will continue to be held by the Company.
Certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities, as a condition for providing the exemptive relief required to permit the Company to distribute the Return of Capital Shares, the Return of Capital Shares received by shareholders under the Return of Capital may be subject to a four month ‘seasoning period’, meaning that such shares may not be freely tradeable for a period of 4 months from the Return of Capital Record Date (and the certificates evidencing the Return of Capital Shares may include a legend to this effect).
Notwithstanding approval by the shareholders of the Return of Capital, the directors of the Company may determine not to proceed with the reduction of its stated capital.
Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to shareholders who receive Return of Stated Capital Shares in connection with the Return of Capital by the Company and who, for the purposes of theIncome Tax Act(Canada) (the “Tax Act”), are individuals resident in Canada, deal at arm’s length with the Company and hold their Common Shares as capital property.
This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and an understanding of the current published administrative practices and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”).
Shareholders who receive Return of Stated Capital Shares pursuant to the Return of Capital should generally be considered to have received a dividend only to the extent (if any) that the fair market value of the Return of Capital Shares so received exceeds the amount of the stated capital reduction
23
in respect of the shareholder’s Common Shares. The Corporation does not expect that the distribution of the Return of Capital Shares will result in a shareholder being deemed to receive a dividend. Based on the Canada Revenue Agency’s (“CRA”) administrative policy, shareholders will be considered to have acquired the Return of Capital Shares at a cost equal to their fair market value.
The aggregate fair market value of the Return of Capital Shares received by a shareholder (other than any amount deemed to be a dividend as described above) will be deducted from the shareholder’s adjusted cost base (and paid-up capital) of his or her Common Shares. To the extent that the reduction exceeds the adjusted cost base of a shareholder’s Common Shares as otherwise determined, the holder will be deemed to have realized a capital gain equal to such excess and the adjusted cost base of the shareholder’s Common Shares will be nil.
For these purposes, shareholders will be advised following the Return of Capital Record Date as to the Corporation’s calculation of the fair market value of the Return of Capital Shares distributed to shareholders. Any determination of fair market value by the Corporation is not binding on CRA or any of the shareholders.
No advance income tax ruling has been sought or obtained from CRA to confirm the tax consequences of the distribution of Return of Stated Capital Shares to shareholders.
US Shareholder Considerations
The Company has not sought advice from US legal counsel with respect to the Return of Capital, therefore US resident shareholders should consult their own legal and accounting professionals for advice as to the impact of US law upon the proposed Return of Capital.
Exploration on the Copper Hill 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 its 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
24
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 1009 m drill program on the project.
The purpose of this drill program was to further evaluate known gold mineralization found within the LG Zone and the Tiger Zone previously discovered by the Company in the early 1990s. Five holes (631 m total) were drilled on LG Zone and three holes (378 m total) were drilled on the Tiger Zone. Both of theses zones are within the original Decker mining leases. The highlight of this program was a high-grade gold intercept from a follow up hole AD 223 on the LG Zone which assayed 14.43 g/t gold over 2 m, including a higher grade of 28.39 g/t over 1 m.

The three drill holes on the Tiger Zone were designed to test the down dip and strike extent of a thick gold bearing graphitic package intersected in a single drill hole in the mid 1990’s by the Company. The original discovery intercept on the Tiger Zone from Hole AD18 assayed1.13 g/t gold over 11 m. (including a one meter interval which assayed 5.76 g/t gold).Only drill hole AD 28 drilled to the north of discovery hole AD 18 intersected the Tiger Zone and assayed
0.62 g/t gold over 13.71 m. (including a 1 m interval which assayed 4.19 g/t gold). Drill holes AD 29 and AD 30 located south of the original discovery hole (AD 18) confirms that a significant change in geology occurs due to the presence of porphyritic intrusive which appear to have cut off the Tiger Zone gold horizon. These porphyritic intrusive and some of the proximal volcanics were mineralized with sulphides and were noted to contain anomalous gold values.
The relationship between the porphyritic intrusive proximal to the Tiger Zone and those found near the LG Zone 300 m to the North-west is not known. Further evaluation will be required to determine the nature of relationship between the LG Zone, the Tiger Zone and the porphyritic intrusive units. Particular attention is being paid to the porphyritic intrusives due to the presence of high grade gold found within or along the contact of the porphyritic intrusives in the immediate vicinity of the LG Zone.
The gold bearing zones on the Decker Property are located within a very favourable geological environment. Many of the known gold bearing zones on the property are associated with mineralized quartz rich structural breaks hosted within carbonate altered mafics, fushitic ultramafics and/or associated feldspar porphyritic intrusives. This environment is typical of that found with many gold deposits located within the Timmins-Porcupine and Kirkland-Larder Lake gold camps within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
The Company completed this 1009 m diamond drill program with Hemlo North Shore Inc. on March 25, 2004.
On March 3, 2004, the Company began a high-resolution, fixed-wing airborne geophysical survey on the Copper Hill Project. The survey was conducted by Fugro Airborne Surveys with a high sensitivity magnetometer. The survey covered approximately 1100 km of flight lines. The purpose of the survey was to assist ongoing exploration and generate additional exploration targets on the Company’s extensive land holding. The survey was completed mid April 2004 and the identified targets were followed up by a reverse circulation drilling program, mapping and geochemical sampling.
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. The program consisted of 53 vertical reverse circulation drill holes totaling of 4,974.15 m. The program tested the Golden Sylvia iron formation and expanded the strike extent of the mineralized system and established continuity. The results of this program validated earlier historic diamond drill intercepts and extended mineralization to 300 m with the system open on strike to both the east and west and down dip. A low-grade intercept of 0.83g/t gold over 6.12 m in RCGS-04-18 on line 950W, suggests that mineralization extends even further to the west.
In August/September 2005, the Company 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 351 meters hole intersected a sequence of fragmental felsic
29
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 0.8 grams/tonne gold. The Qualified Person for this project is J. L. LeBel (P.Eng.).
In October 2006, the Company’s subsidiary, Golden Harp Resources conducted a MMI soil sampling survey over the Cook zone on the property. Approximately 700 samples were collected and sent to SGS Mineral Services for analysis. The survey was conducted to evaluate priority target areas associated with known geophysical anomalies. Dr. Mark Fedikow, P.Geo. interpreted the MMI results. This interpretation combined with historical work completed by International KRL generated a number of new diamond drill targets within a known gold bearing trend.
In January/February 2007, the Company’s subsidiary also undertook an airborne VTEM survey, to further evaluate the under-explored nickel and base metal occurrences in Knight and Natal Townships. The survey identified a number of geophysical anomalies. A number of these geophysical anomalies are hosted in a suite of komatiitic volcanics. This same suite of komatiites hosts the known historical nickel occurrences on the property. Geotech Ltd. conducted the survey and Ian Johnson, P.Geo interpreted the geophysical results and isolated potential diamond drill targets which the Company’s subsidiary plans to drill next exploration season.

NOR PROPERTY, YUKON TERRITORY, CANADA (COPPER, GOLD, URANIUM)
Location and Access to the Nor Property
The Nor 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 Nor Property is comprised of 448 claims covering 23,127 acres (9,363 hectares) and is an iron oxide/copper/gold (IOCG) target.
Exploration on the Nor Property
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 property is associated with a large gravity and magnetic anomaly with the Nor heterolithic hematite-rich diatreme breccia outlined along an 8 km 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.
The Company 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 4(b) in the financial statements. Since signing the option, the Company has staked additional ground contiguous to, and in the vicinity of, the property.

In 2005 the Company 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 (100 m 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 and an induced polarization and gravity surveys on the property. Over 1,100 soil samples were collected for analysis from a surveyed grid on the property in 2005. Soil samples were collected at 50 m intervals along survey lines spaced at 400 m and 200 m 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 indicated coincident copper and uranium anomalies extending intermittently along 8.5 km over the surveyed length of the property. In addition, coincident rare earth element (REE) anomalies were identified along the anomalous copper-uranium trend.
The geophysical work was conducted by Aurora field crews under the guidance of M. A. Power, P. Geoph., a Qualified Person for the geophysical program. The gravity survey, collected from 79 stations, determined that there is a steep gradient from west to east across the axis of the Proterozoic sediments. A total of 50.5 line km of induced polarization (IP) was conducted over the whole property on surveyed grid lines 400 m apart.
Evaluation of the induced polarization survey results indicated conductivity and resistivity anomalies coincident with copper and uranium geochemical anomalies. In the vicinity of L 2400N/2900E is a flat lying conductive zone within a larger resistivity low and coincident with an 800 m x 800 m 2 mGal gravity anomaly. When compared with the geological mapping these geophysical anomalies align with a significant area (650 x 400m) of potassic feldspar alteration. In addition, a coincident lanthanum (a rare earth element), copper and uranium soil anomaly occurs within this trend. Other significant resistivity and chargeability anomalies elsewhere on the grid are reported from the survey, many of which warrant drill testing.

Targets for the diamond drilling program for the 2006 field season were selected from the coincident geophysical, geochemical and geological anomalies.
In December 2005, the Company filed with the B.C. Securities Commission, an independent NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Nor Property. The author of the report is Peter T. George, P. Geo., a consulting geologist based in Ontario. The property is in a geological setting with striking similarities to the Gawlor Craton of South Australia, where the world-class Olympic Dam copper-uranium-gold-rare earth element deposit is located.
The report by Mr. George reviews results of the 2005 geophysical, geological mapping and geochemical sampling work and proposes an aggressive exploration program for the 2006 season. He states that the 2005 airborne geophysical surveys indicate that the NOR heterolithic hematite-rich diatreme breccia, which outcrops at the north end of NOR ridge, continues to the south for a total strike distance of approximately 8 km. The size of this breccia target is similar to the size of the Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium deposit. The 2005 soil geochemical program outlines anomalous areas of copper, uranium, gold and lanthanum (rare earth) which typify the system of the Olympic Dam-type mineralization. Historical (1978 – 1980) results from early work at NOR by Getty Minerals returned samples of up to 4% U and 0.6% Cu.
Based on the results of both historical work and the 2005 exploration data, Mr. George compares the primary characteristics of the NOR and the Olympic Dam deposit, and concludes that the NOR Property warrants an intensive exploration program to test the potential for a large Olympic Dam-type body. He recommends an initial 15,000 m drilling program at depths of up to 1500 feet below surface along the 8 km trend of the NOR ridge. The estimated budget for this proposed 2006 exploration is $3.3 million.
This NI 43-101 compliant Evaluation Report on the NOR Property is available for viewing on SEDAR. The Qualified Person for the NOR Project was Michael Sanguinetti, (P.Eng.)
In June 2006 the Company drilled nine holes on the Nor property, representing just over 1,600 m or 10% of the 15,000 m diamond drill program originally planned. The Company shipped over 1200 samples of core to Acme for multi-element analysis. Highlights of the program include Hole 009-06 which intersected 20 m of 0.25% Cu (including 7 m of 0.32% Cu) and Hole 005-06 which intersected 2 m of 0.9% Cu (including 1 m of 1.6% Cu) and 5 m of 0.6% Cu (including 3 m of 0.7% Cu). Out of the nine holes that were drilled, copper mineralization was intersected in four. Results are provided below. The priority uranium targets will be tested in the 2007 season.

Hole 009-06 was the most successful outcome of this exercise and was the last hole drilled in the 2006 field season. The drilling clarified the geological model further leading to a focus on the contact of the Wernecke Breccia and the Proterozoic Fairchild Lake Group Rocks. The model is analogous to the Olympic Dam where mineralization is concentrated on the contacts represented by a change of alteration. Hole 005-06 intersected the highest grades of 0.9% Cu over 2 m (including 1.6% Cu over 1 m) and 0.6% Cu over 5 m (including 0.7% Cu over 3 m). The intersections from this hole confirmed the surface soil geochemistry results. The mineralized fraction is a very distinctive zone in the entire geologic package.
The results from the 2006 drill program showed that there is mineralization and alteration throughout the Nor property, however, it was unable to complete the extensive drill program or comprehensive evaluation of its priority targets as a result of a shortage of experienced diamond drill crews and operational problems from aging equipment supplied by the drill contractor. Management felt it prudent to end the drill program early and preserve the capital in the treasury to apply it to next year’s program.
In 2007, the Company conducted ground geophysical surveys with a scintillometer to test the radiometric characteristics of the outcrop and float. The Company’s geologists collected grab samples over areas recording high levels of radiometric readings. The grab samples were then sent to Acme Analytical Lab. in Vancouver for analysis. These samples returned assay values of 4.80%, 1.30%, 1.48%, and 5.54% uranium. The sample that returned 4.80% uranium was taken from outcrop and is coincident with the geochemical anomaly at the contact of the Fairchild Group rocks and the Wernecke Breccia, which is known for its uranium potential throughout the Yukon. The three grab samples that returned 1.30%, 1.48%, and 5.54% uranium were taken over an area 78 meters away from the sample that returned 4.80% uranium.

The Company also conducted scintillometer surveys on the Nor property in 2007. The survey identified two new uranium showings which appear to line up with the original showing in a north-northwesterly trend over a strike length in excess of 1.1 km. An extensive trenching program designed to expose bedrock will clarify the relationship between these two uranium showings. The hand trenching the Company conducted this year did not get through the overburden and reach bedrock to reveal the showings’ geological structural features.
This year the Company also completed a property-wide airborne radiometrics and magnetic survey. The survey’s preliminary readings identified a number of areas of interest. Detailed analysis and further interpretation of the results is underway and results will be issued as soon as they are available.
Between June and September 2007, the Company drilled the Nor property. The drill company had extensive experience, suitable equipment for the helicopter supported drill program and experienced crews. The Company drilled its priority uranium targets, which remain untested, and followed up on the copper mineralization intersected in four of the nine diamond drill holes completed during 2006. Seven holes were drilled in total. On September 10, 2007, the Company completed the drilling program for the season. All the drill samples were shipped to Eco Tech Laboratories for analysis and assays results are pending.
CARSWELL PROPERTY, SASKATCHEWAN – URANIUM
Location and Access to the Carswell Property
The Carswell uranium property is located on the Carswell Dome Formation in the Athabasca Basin. On March 2, 2005 the Company granted an option to ESO Uranium Corp. (previously 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.
Exploration on the Carswell Property
In October 2005, a Megatem II airborne geophysical survey was carried out by ESO over the property. The magnetic signature of the Company’s ground shows a central low area running NNW-SSE flanked by two higher magnetic regimes and this has some similarity to the magnetic setting for several of the Cluff Lake deposits. The magnetic low was interpreted to indicate metasedimentary rocks that may include graphitic horizons, which if faulted, can form conductive structures. Elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin, such conductors are associated with uranium deposits. Five conductors were identified by the Megatem survey within and subparallel to the central magnetic low.
1n October 2006, ESO Uranium Corp. (ESO) conducted an extensive ground geophysical exploration program in the Western Athabasca Basin which covered the Carswell project. The Company was advised that the preliminary results of the ground geophysical horizontal loop electromagnetic survey confirmed a number of conductors that were identified on the Company’s ground by an airborne geophysical survey conducted in October 2005.
In 2007 ESO advised the Company of its intention to initiate a diamond drill program on its Carswell property. The program will follow up on geochemical and geophysical targets related to fields of highly radioactive boulders identified in earlier exploration reports. The proposed expenditures from this program will fulfill ESO’s property expenditure obligations under the option agreement with International KRL. This will enable the two companies to pursue a Joint Venture agreement. ESO also advised that it had engaged MPH Consulting
43
Ltd., an independent firm with considerable experience in the Athabasca Basin, to complete a NI 43-101 technical report, which will cover International KRL’s claim.

Exploration Program on the White River Copper Property
The Company plans to verify the historical data collected from trenches and surface showings on the White River Copper property. The program will involve the Company’s geological team verifying the location of the historic diamond drill hole and the anomalies identified by the Induced Polarization (IP) survey. The information generated from the historic exploration programs will then be evaluated and followed up with modern exploration techniques.
TURN RIVER PROPERTY, YUKON TERRITORY – URANIUM
Location and Access to the Turn River Property
International KRL and Logan Resources Ltd. acquired by staking a large land package prospective for uranium in the Cassiar Plateau. The land package consists of 2,220 claims, covering 46,941 hectares and includes twelve distinct project areas. The Company has a 50% interest in this property.
In August 2007, subsequent to the year end, both International KRL and Logan Resources Ltd. staked an additional 1,311 claims prospective for nickel at the Turn River property. The uranium nickel project now consists of 3,531 claims over 12 independent blocks covering approximately 74,287 hectares (183,567 acres). Each company holds a 50% interest in the project.
Exploration Program on the Turn River Property
International KRL Resources Corp. and Logan Resources Ltd. plan an aggressive exploration program on this property for the next field season. The exploration program will include prospecting, geological mapping, geochemistry sampling, and radiometric surveying.
44
BEAR RIVER PROPERTY, BRISTISH COLUMBIA – GOLD
Location and Access to the Bear River Property
The Bear River property is located in the Skeena Mining Division, BC, in the historic Stewart Gold Camp. It consists of three claims representing 31 claim units, 100% owned mineral claims (subject to NSRs) covering an area of 775 hectares.
Exploration Program on the Bear River Property
Exploration work to date shows gold and silver mineralization hosted in epithermal quartz veins as well as gold with massive sulphides in altered volcanics. The mineralization comprises several assemblages that occur in quartz (carbonate) veins, breccia vein stockworks and breccia zones hosted in intrusive bodies. The principle target is the Hill Top Zone, covering an area of 500 m x 300 m. The geology consists mainly of silicified and pyritized volcanic sedimentary and intrusive rocks. An IP survey confirmed the presence of sulphides in a large silicified area. A soil-sampling program confirmed the IP results. A limited diamond drill program (conducted in 1992) of 14 holes (1,847 m over a 450 m by 300 m area east of the Hill Top zone) intersected 3 m of 2.61 g/t gold and 87 m of 1.94 g/t gold in Drill Hole MM-13. Drill Hole MM-1 intersected 29.50 m at 0.54 g/t gold. All the drill holes assayed anomalous copper.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion for the fiscal years ended 5/31/2007, 5/31/2006 and 5/31/2005 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto.
52
Overview for 5/31/2007
During the year, the Company raised $1,789,832 through a private placement. In December 2006, International KRL issued 6,754,083 flow through units at $0.265 per unit for proceeds of $1,789,832. Each unit consisted of one flow through share and one-quarter non flow through share purchase warrant with one whole share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.365 per share until December 22, 2007.
Through the exercising of 568,078 warrants and 550,000 employee incentive stock options and 670,726 Agent’s options, International KRL netted $399,079. The Company spent a total of $2,791,488 on mineral interest acquisition and exploration expenditures. Administration expenses amounted to $1,128,336, which includes non-cash stock-based compensation totaling $160,461 and amortization of $13,171. There was a net decrease in cash of $738,719 for the year.

Total assets | 10,701,277 | 9,467,561 | 5,569,509 |
As the Company has no revenues, increased exploration activity and operations causes an increase in losses. Other losses can be caused by write-downs or write-offs of carrying value of impaired mineral assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net loss in the current year was $1,894,578 compared to a net loss of $187,656 for the prior year, reflecting a net overall decrease of $1,706,922. Significant line item changes were as follows:
- Impairment loss on the Copper Hill property of $958,629 to reflect thevalue at which the property was transferred to GHR. This write down doesnot reflect a change in the property’s mineral potential.
- Provision for future income tax recoveries of $772,912 was maderesulting in an increase of $232,376 from the prior year.
- Management fees increased by $53,563 due to competitive compensationadjustments.
- Office expense increased by $79,590 mainly due to increased costs of thenew premises and due to a tax penalty of $19,437 for not spending cashcommitted for explorations from Flow Through shares before the deadline.
- Travel and promotion increased by $99,033 due to increased efforts toraise the profile of the company.
- Dilution loss of $749,584 incurred upon a private placement issued byGHR to minority interest which resulted in International KRL’spercentage of ownership in GHR decreasing from 100% to 65.32%
- Professional fees increased by $216,505 due to increased activitiesassociated with the spin-off of the Copper Hill property to GHR and GHRseeking reporting issuer status.
- Stock based compensation decreased by $160,403 due to fewer incentivestock options issued in the current year.
53
Some of the changes in the line items may be attributed to the reclassification of comparative figures to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassification is for presentation purposes only and has no effect on previously reported results (Refer to Note 2 (p) of the audited consolidated financial statements).

LIQUIDITY
At May 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of $3,431,411 which management considers sufficient to continue operations for the coming year. However, there are insufficient funds to meet all property commitments listed below, as they now stand. The Company will be seeking to raise further funds from private placement financings to meet these commitments or may seek extensions to the exploration schedule. Also, in the longer term, in order to continue operations, and in particular, to fund ongoing expenditure commitments listed below and in the notes to the financial statements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. The Company plans to do this through private placements and public offerings.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
The Nor, U Claims, and White River Copper properties are held under option agreements. During the fiscal year International KRL entered into property option agreements to earn 100% interest in the U Claims and White River Copper properties. Under these agreements the Company must make various cash and stock payments and incur exploration expenditures by various deadlines. Details of these requirements are listed in the notes to the audited annual financial statements.
At the date of this report, all cash payments on the above three property options were up to date and all share payments have been made. Extensions have been received for all exploration expenditure commitments that have not yet been met.
Under the Nor, U Claims, and White River Copper property options, cash and expenditure requirements for the year ahead amount to approximately $100,000. The Copper Hill and Bear River properties have no further payment requirements, beyond the exploration required for standard assessment to keep the claims in good standing.
Overview for 5/31/2006
54
During the period, the Company raised a net cash amount of $4,266,940 from private placements and the exercise of warrants and options. An amount of $1,506,508 was spent on mineral interests. Administration expenses amounted to $826,242, including stock based compensation of $320,864 but excluding financing fees of $244,777.
SELECTED ANNUAL INFORMATION (expressed in Canadian dollars)
International KRL does not generate revenues as a mineral exploration company. It is the increased exploration activity, which generates increased losses. This is standard to the nature of the exploration business. Other losses can be caused by write-downs or write-offs of assets, which do not follow a trend. The Company’s success in the past year in the raising of capital enabled the Company to increase its exploration activity, build its team and pursue more business development activities, which combined have resulted in a higher loss figure. The decrease in net loss from prior year stems from the combination of the future income tax recovery of $958,536 due to the renunciation of flow-through shares net of future income tax expense of $418,000. There was a gain on the sale of marketable securities and the proceeds from the interest income generated by placing the proceeds of the financing activities into short-term guaranteed investment certificates.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company has a future income tax recovery of $540,536 due to the renunciation of flow-through shares. The net loss in the current period before other (income) expense was $826,242 compared to $655,112 in the prior year reflecting an increase of $171,130. This increase is due mainly to promotion and travel, which increased from $82,156 to $174,582, an increase of $94,426 mainly due to increased efforts to raise the profile of the Company. In general, administrative expenses reflect the normal corporate business cycle. Line item increases/decreases in costs relate to the Company’s additional efforts to provide greater administrative support to management’s ongoing efforts to seek new properties, monitor exploration expenditures, and increase shareholder value.
- Administration salaries increased by $19,294 and management feesincreased by $12,900 due to an increase in staff and providingcompetitive salaries to attract experienced and qualified personnel.
- Office expenses increased by $24,266 mainly due to increased costs ofthe new premises required to accommodate the growth in staff.
- Professional fees increased by $28,555 due to an under provision ofcosts relating to the previous years auditor’s fees and increase incontracts surrounding the spin off of Golden Harp Resources Inc.
- Promotion and travel increased by $94,426 due to increased efforts toraise the profile of the Company by attending additional investmentconferences, advertising and activities surrounding the financinginitiatives.

For each of the above periods, the Company had no income except for the last period where a tax recovery changed the loss to income. Net loss and loss before discontinued operations and extraordinary items are as indicated above, for all periods. Net loss per share was realized on a basic and diluted basis for all periods.
LIQUIDITY
As at May 31, 2006, the Company had working capital totaling $3,712,010. These funds should be sufficient for the Company to meet its working capital needs and property payment commitments in the coming year and to carry out a significant amount of exploration. Nonetheless, in the long 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.
During the period, net cash used in operating activities was $556,196, net cash used in investing activities was $2,294,866 and net cash provided by financing activities was $4,192,657. This resulted in a net increase in cash of $1,341,595 from the Company’s cash position for the year.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
Significant changes in the Company’s financial position are as follow:
The cash increase in mineral interests of $1,506,508 reflect mainly the exploration expenditures and acquisition costs of $275,137 incurred at Copper Hill, Ontario and $1,256,203 incurred at the Nor Property, Yukon.
The increase in share capital of $3,468,519 was due to private placement financings and the exercise of warrants and options, details of which are listed in Note 6 accompanying the consolidated financial statements.
The increase in contributed surplus of $166,466 represents the fair value of stock options granted during the period to directors, consultants and brokers, net of cancellations/forfeited and exercised. Details are outlined in Note 9 accompanying the consolidated financial statements.
Overview for 5/31/2005
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.

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 $609,027 (restated) compared to $424,673 (restated) 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:
- Professional fees dropped from $94,797 to $29,470 due to a combinationof factors including extra accounting needed for the Company'sregistration with the SEC in the prior year, Canaccord financing legalcosts in the prior year of $20,000 and a $12,000 reversal in the currentyear of prior year legal fees recorded in error.
- Administration salaries were up from $48,597 to $80,155 due to thehiring on a shared basis of additional office staff.
- Share issuance costs were up from $95,421 to $250,404 due mainly to theincrease in capital raised from $1.5 million in 2004 to $2.2 million in2005 and a more rigorous categorization of financing direct legal andbroker legal costs to financing.
- Promotion and travel decreased from $71,715 to $41,207 due to decreasedtravel costs that in the prior year included a trip to Europe andattendance at shows by more company personnel. This year the Companyparticipated in the New York Gold Show, New Orleans Investor Conference,the San Francisco Investor Show, the Vancouver Investment Conference andthe Prospectors and Developers Conference. However, in the currentyear, 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 mainlydue to costs associated with registration with the SEC incurred in theprior year.
- Stock-based compensation increased from $39,722 to $327,787 due toincreased grants of stock options to employees, consultants, andfinancing agents and an increase in the expected volatility of theCompany's share price. This expense is entirely non-cash.
- The gain on property option represents the excess of the value of sharesand cash received during the year pursuant to the optioning of 50% ofthe Company’s interest in the Carswell property, over the Company’s costof acquisition and exploration on the property.

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.
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
58
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.

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.
Under Canadian income tax legislation, the Company is permitted to issue shares whereby the Company agrees to incur Canadian exploration expenditures (as defined in the Income Tax Act, Canada) and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors. Under Canadian GAAP, the full amount of funds received from flow-through share issuances are initially recorded as share capital. Upon renouncing the expenditures, the amount of deferred tax on the expenditures is removed from share capital. Under U.S. GAAP, the premium paid for the flow-through shares in excess of market value is credited to liabilities and included in income when the Company renounces the related tax benefits.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which requires that an enterprise report, by major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period from non-owner sources. Pursuant to Statement of
59
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, investments in securities are classified as either trading, held to maturity, or available-for-sale. The Company has classified securities as available-for-sale which results in unrealized gains or losses to be accounted for as a component of comprehensive income.
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 options granted or outstanding during Fiscal 2002/2001/2000. The first calculation and footnote disclosure was adopted for Fiscal 2003 Ended January 31st.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Applicable to Us
US GAAP
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning
60
after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The implementation of SFAS No. 158 did not have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the
61
beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 154, a voluntary change in accounting principle requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. A change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. The guidance contained in APB No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate was not changed. The Company will implement this new standard beginning January 1, 2006. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date of grant. Pro forma disclosure in the footnotes to financial statements is no longer an alternative. SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods. The “modified prospective” method recognizes compensation expense based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date, and based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. The “modified retrospective” method includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate their historical financial statements based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for all prior periods presented, or for prior interim periods of the year of adoption. As of April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the “modified prospective” method under SFAS 123(R). As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) there are no differences between US and Canadian GAAP.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets – An Amendment of APB 29”. This statement amends APB 29, which is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured at the fair value of the assets exchanges with certain exceptions. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005.
Canadian GAAP
62
On January 27, 2005, the CICA issued Section 3855 of the Handbook entitled Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. It expands Handbook Section 3860, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation by prescribing when a financial instrument to be recognized on the balance sheet and at what amount. It also specifies how financial instrument gains and losses are to be presented. All financial instruments will be required to be classified into various categories. Held to maturity investments and loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost with amortization of premium or discounts and losses and impairment included in current period interest income or expense. Held for trading financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair market value with all gains and losses included in net income in the period in which they arise. All available for sale financial assets are measured at fair market value with revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet and losses due to impairment included in net income. All other financial liabilities are to be carried at amortized cost. This new Handbook Section will bring Canadian GAAP more in line with U.S. GAAP. The mandatory effective date is for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006.
New Handbook Section 3865, Hedges, provides alternative treatments to Handbook Section 3855 for entities which choose to designate qualifying transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. The effective date for this section is for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The Company does not currently have any hedging relationships.
New Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, introduces a requirement to temporarily present certain gains and losses outside of income. Section 1530 defines comprehensive income as a change in value of net assets that is not due to owner activities. Assets that are classified as available for sale will have revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet. In 2007, the Company had investments in shares of arm’s-length corporations that may be classified as available for sale investments. The Company would be required to recognize unrealized gains and losses on these securities and include these amounts in comprehensive income. The effective date for this section is for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Implementation of this section will more closely align Canadian GAAP with U.S. GAAP.
In April 2005, the Accounting Standards Board issued CICA Handbook Section 3855,Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, along with two companion standards, Section 1530,Comprehensive Income, and Section 3865,Hedges. These sections will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year starting April 1, 2007. The Company does not expect that these changes will have a material impact on the Company’s reconciliation with U.S. GAAP.

Stock Options.
Description of the Company’s Stock Option Plan:
At the Company’s annual general meeting held on November 16, 2007, shareholders approved to renew the Incentive Share Option 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 “TSX”) 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 TSX. | |
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 |
68
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 TSX options granted must expire not later than a maximum of ten years from the date of grant. | |||
5. | Options will vest at the option of the board of directors. | ||
6. | All options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be non-assignable and non-transferable. | ||
7. | Subject to the receipt of disinterested shareholder approval for the grant of options under the Plan, the Plan will allow: | ||
(i) | the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the stock options granted to insiders to exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer; | ||
(ii) | the issuance to insiders, within a one year period of a number of shares exceeding 10% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer; | ||
(iii) | the issuance to any one insider and such insider’s associates, within a one year period, of a number of Common Shares exceeding 5% of the outstanding Common Shares; and, | ||
(iv) | the Issuer to have the ability to decrease the exercise price of stock options previously granted to insiders. |
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-voting shares subject to such options are set forth in Table No. 8 as of 11/01/2007, as well as the number of options granted to Directors and independent contractors.

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.

The Company was originally incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on July 10, 1978 and is governed under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“the BCA”).
According to the Company’s Articles, “There are no restrictions on the business of the Company.”
A Director shall disclose his interest in and not vote in respect of the approval of any contract or transaction with the Company in which he is interested, but he shall be counted in the quorum present at the meeting at which the vote is taken.
Part 8 of the Articles details the Directors’ borrowing powers. The Directors may from time to time in behalf of the Company:
(a) | Borrow money in a manner and amount, on any security, from any source and upon any terms and conditions; | |
(b) | Issue bonds, debentures, and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of the Company or any other person; | |
(c) | Guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation by any other person; and | |

There are no age considerations pertaining to the retirement or non-retirement of directors. The Directors may remove from office a Director who is convicted of an indictable offense.
A Director shall not be required to hold a share in the capital of the Company as qualification for his office but shall be qualified as required by the BCA, to become or act as a Director.
A Director may hold any office or place of profit with the Company in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms as the Directors may determine and no Director or intended Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company. A Director or his firm may act in a professional capacity for the Company and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director.
Subject to provisions of the BCA, the Company shall indemnify a Director, or former Director, of the Company and the Company may indemnify a Director or former Director of a corporation of which the Company is or was a shareholder and the heirs and personal representatives of any such person against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him or them, by reason of his being or having been a Director of the Company or a director of such corporation, including any action brought by the Company or any such corporation. The Directors may cause the Company to indemnify any officer, employee or agent of the Company, or of a corporation of which the Company is or was a shareholder and his heirs and personal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred by him or them and resulting from his acting as an officer, employee or agent of the Company or such
76
corporation.

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.

In default of the meeting being held, the meeting shall be called by any two members in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which meetings are to be called by the Directors.
The Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting. A general meeting, if requisitioned in accordance with the BCA, shall be convened by the Directors or, if not convened by the Directors, may be convened by a group as provided in the BCA.
Not less than 21 days’ notice of any general meeting specifying the time and place of meeting and in case of special business, the general nature of that business shall be given in the manner mentioned in Article 10.4, or in such
77
other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution whether previous notice has been given or not, to any person as may by law or under the Articles or other regulations of the Company entitled to receive the notice from the Company.

There are no limitations on the rights to own securities.
There is no provision of the Company’s articles of association, charter or bylaws that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company (or any of its subsidiaries).

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
78
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 natural 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
79
from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver 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-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
80
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 1/31/2007 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 nonresident 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of
International KRL Resources Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of International KRL Resources Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as at May 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS ON CANADA – UNITED STATES REPORTING DIFFERENCES
The standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) require the addition of an explanatory paragraph when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’ ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Although we conducted audits in accordance with both Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), our report to the shareholders dated September 4, 2007 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the auditor’s report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph when there is a restatement of prior year financial statements, such as the changes described in Note 14 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to restated financial statements of prior periods when the change is properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005 |
(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. There has been no determination whether properties held contain ore reserves, which are economically recoverable. In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells or options its mineral property interests to third parties, accepting as consideration cash and/or securities of the acquiring party. The Company is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. | ||
The recoverability of valuations assigned to mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the properties, the ability to obtain necessary financing to complete development, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition. | ||
The Company incurred a net loss before future income tax recovery and non-controlling interest of $2,693,870 during the year ended May 31, 2007 (2006 - $728,192) and had a deficit of $7,904,220 at May 31, 2007 which has been funded primarily by the issuance of equity. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. | ||
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from external financing to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they become due, although there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. | ||
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
(a) | Basis of presentation | |
These financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles prepared on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its 65.32% owned Canadian subsidiary, Golden Harp Resources Inc. (“Golden Harp”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. | ||
These consolidated financial statements include 100% of the operations of Golden Harp beginning May 31, 2006 to November 30, 2006 and 65.32% of the operations of Golden Harp thereafter resulting from the subsidiary issuing shares to outside interests. | ||
(b) | Use of estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the impairment of mineral properties, valuation allowance for future income tax assets and stock-based compensation. | ||
(c) | Cash and cash equivalents | |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
(d) | Short-term investments | |
Short-term investments consist of highly liquid short-term interest bearing securities with a term to maturity of greater than three months on the date of purchase. Short-term investments are recorded at the lower of cost plus accrued interest or fair market value. | ||
(e) | Marketable securities | |
Marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value. The carrying amount is reduced to market value when the decline in value is other than temporary. As at May 31, 2007, the fair market value of the securities held was $77,842 (2006 - $87,275). | ||
(f) | 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: |
Computer equipment | 30% | |
Computer software | 50% | |
Office and field equipment | 20% | |
Vehicle | 30% |
In the year of acquisition, amortization is recorded at one-half the above rates.
(g) | Mineral properties | |
All costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties are capitalized Upon commencement of commercial production, the related accumulated costs are amortized against future income of the project using the unit of production method over estimated recoverable ore reserves. Management periodically assesses carrying values of non-producing properties and management determines that the carrying values cannot be recovered or the carrying values are related to properties that are allowed to lapse, the unrecoverable amounts are charged to operations | ||
The recoverability of the carried amounts of mineral properties is dependent on the existence economically recoverable ore reserves and the ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of such ore reserves and the success of future operations. The Company has not yet determined whether any of its mineral properties contains economically recoverable reserves Amounts capitalized as mineral properties represent costs incurred to date, less write-downs and recoveries, and does not necessarily reflect present or future values. | ||
When options are granted on mineral properties or properties are sold, proceeds are credited to the cost of the property. If no future capital expenditure is required and proceeds exceed costs, the excess proceeds are reported as a gain. | ||
(h) | Long-lived assets | |
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. |

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
(i) | Financial instruments | |
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, marketable securities, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances to related parties. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of those instruments except for marketable securities. The fair value of marketable securities is based on the quoted market values. 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 Company is not party to any derivative instruments. | ||
(j) | Asset retirement obligations | |
The Company follows the recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3110, with respect to asset retirement obligations. This standard required liability recognition for retirement obligations associated with the Company’s resource properties. The standard required the Company to recognize the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and record a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. Fair value is estimated using the present value of the estimated future cash outflows. The liability is subsequently adjusted for the passage of time, and is recognized as an accretion expense in the statements of operations. The increase in the carrying value of the asset is amortized on the same basis as the resource properties. At May 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company did not have any asset retirement obligations. | ||
(k) | 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 tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, and are measured using the tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse. The effect on future taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded against any future tax asset if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. | ||
(l) | Flow-through shares | |
The Company follows the recommendations of EIC 146 with respect to flow-through shares. Canadian tax legislation permits a company to issue securities referred to as flow-through shares whereby the Company assigns the tax deductions arising from the related resource expenditures to the shareholders. 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 share capital is reduced. | ||
If the Company has sufficient unrecognized tax losses or other future income tax assets to offset all or part of this future income tax liability and no future income tax assets have been previously recognized for these future income tax assets, a portion of such unrecognized losses is recorded as tax recovery up to the amount of the future income tax liability that would otherwise have been recognized on the renounced expenditures. | ||
(m) | Non-controlling interests | |
Non-controlling interest exists in the 65.32% owned subsidiary of the Company representing the outside interest’s share of the carrying values of the subsidiary. When the subsidiary company issues its own shares to outside interests, a dilution gain or loss arises as a result of the difference between the Company’s share of the proceeds and the carrying value of the underlying equity. |

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
(n) | Stock-based compensation | |
The Company applies the fair value method to stock-based payments to all awards that are direct awards of stock, that call for settlement in cash or other assets or are stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. Compensation expense is recognized over the applicable vesting period with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. Agents’ warrants issued in connection with common share placements are recorded as share issuance costs with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. When the options and warrants are exercised, the exercise price proceeds, together with the amount initially recorded in contributed surplus, are credited to share capital. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation. | ||
(o) | Income (loss) per share | |
Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share. The existence of warrants and options affects the calculation of income (loss) per share on a fully diluted basis. As the effect of this dilution is to increase the reported income per share and reduce the reported loss per share, basic and diluted loss are the same. | ||
(p) | Comparative figures | |
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassification is for presentation purpose only and has no effect on previously reported results. | ||

4. | MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued) | ||
(a) | Copper Hill Project, Ontario | ||
(i) | By various agreements ranging in date from December 11, 1991 to February 4, 2005 and staking, the Company holds a total of 849 claim units of approximately 20 hectares each including 510 in which the Company has a 100% interest. The Company has 158 claims, or 343 units, with various net smelter returns ("NSR's") ranging between 1% and 3%. The Company has the right to buy-back 50% of the NSR's at prices ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 and the right of first refusal on the remaining 50%. The NSR's are contained in nineteen separate agreements without any perimeter clauses. | ||
Included in the above is a 100% interest in 4 mining leases totalling 20 mineral claims located in the MacMurchy, Natal and Knight Townships of Ontario. | |||
(ii) | The Copper Hill Project was transferred to Golden Harp in exchange for 10,000,000 shares in the subsidiary. The property was transferred at $3,200,000 representing the fair value at the time of transfer, which resulted in an impairment loss of $958,629. | ||
(iii) | Pursuant to an agreement dated January 22, 2001 the Company had an option to acquire 15 claims, totalling 30 units in the MacMurchy, Tyrrell and Knight townships. Pursuant to an amending agreement dated February 4, 2005, this option was converted to a 100% ownership interest in the claims, in consideration of the issuance of 50,000 common shares in fiscal 2005, at a fair value of $0.14 per share, for total consideration of $7,000. The interest is subject to a 2% NSR retained by the vendors. The Company has the right to purchase 50% of the NSR within 4 years of the commencement of commercial production by paying $1,000,000. The Company has a further right of first refusal on the remaining 50% of the NSR. | ||
(iv) | Pursuant to an Option Agreement dated February 4, 2004, the Company granted an option to Hemlo North Shore Inc. (“Hemlo”) to acquire 50% of the Company’s interest in the Decker Claim group of the Copper Hill property. During fiscal 2004, Hemlo funded $125,000 of exploration, as an option payment. In November of 2004, the agreement was terminated, due to Hemlo’s failure to make the second option payment. | ||
(v) | Pursuant to an agreement dated June 3, 2003, the Company acquired 4 mineral claims representing 39 claim units in Tyrrell and Leonard townships of Ontario, in exchange for 60,000 common shares issued in fiscal 2004, at a fair value of $0.20 per share and $6,000 in cash, for total consideration of $18,000. On April 12, 2005, after an unsuccessful prospecting program, the property was returned to the vendors and the acquisition costs of $18,000 were written-off. An additional 5 claims, representing 63 units, contiguous to this property that had been acquired through staking, were also abandoned at that time. | ||
(vi) | Pursuant to an agreement dated December 1, 2003, the Company re-negotiated its interest in 43 mineral claims from a 17.9% interest to a 100% interest in exchange for 100,000 common shares issued in fiscal 2004 at a fair value of $0.17 per share for total consideration of $17,000. The mineral claims are located in the Knight and Natal Townships of Ontario. | ||
(vii) | Future commitments under certain option agreements include issuing 5,000 shares upon regulatory acceptance of a technical report recommending a second phase exploration work program on 1 mineral claim located in the Knight Township and making annual advance royalty payments of $10,000 commencing on completion of a bankable feasibility study and continuing until commencement of commercial production with regard to 13 mineral claims located in the Knight and Natal Townships, acquired by an option agreement dated February 4, 1994. The payments shall be applied as a credit against the NSR royalty payable on these claims. |

A further 87,593 warrants would be issued upon the exercise of the agent options as described in Note 7(d).
The Company recognized a share issuance cost for the fair value of agents’ warrants issued as finder’s fees in connection with private placements. The amount calculated is recorded as a share issuance cost with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair values of warrants using the following weighted average assumptions:
2007 | 2006 | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 3.95% | – | |
Expected life of warrants (in years) | 1.0 year | – | |
Expected volatility | 84.97% | – | |
Dividend yield | – | – |
The weighted average fair value of the agent warrants issued during the year was $0.06 (2006 - $Nil).

The Company has approximately $1,874,000 of losses for tax purposes which may be used to reduce income taxes of future years and will expire as follows:
$ | |
2008 | 65,000 |
2009 | 113,000 |
2010 | 315,000 |

At May 31, 2007, the Company had cumulative Canadian Exploration Expenses of $17,000 which are deductible at a rate of 100% each year against future years’ taxable income and have no expiry date. At May 31, 2007, the Company had cumulative Canadian Development Expenses of $3,843,000 which are deductible at a rate of 30% each year 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.

14. | RESTATEMENT |
During fiscal 2006, the Company changed its accounting policy to account for share issuance costs as an offset to consideration for share capital issued. Accordingly, the Company applied this change retrospectively and the 2005 financial statements were restated to give effect to a reduction of the opening balance of share capital of $243,137 and a corresponding reduction in the opening deficit by the same amount. |
In addition, the 2005 share capital balance was decreased by $250,404 with a corresponding reduction in 2005 financing fees and expenses by the same amount.

(a) | Comprehensive income |
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which requires that an enterprise report, by major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period from non-owner sources. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, investments in securities are classified as either trading, held to maturity, or available-for-sale. The Company has classified securities as available-for-sale which results in unrealized gains or losses to be accounted for as a component of comprehensive income. The impact of SFAS No. 130 on the Company’s financial statements is as follows:

15. | DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued) | |
(b) | Mineral property expenditures | |
Canadian GAAP allows mineral exploration costs to be capitalized during the search for a commercially mineable deposit. Under US GAAP, mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred and mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end. As the Company has not established proven and probable reserves on any its mineral properties, an impairment loss is recognized for capitalized mineral property acquisition costs. | ||
(c) | Flow-through shares | |
Under Canadian income tax legislation, the Company is permitted to issue shares whereby the Company agrees to incur Canadian exploration expenditures (as defined in the Income Tax Act, Canada) and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors. Under Canadian GAAP, the full amount of funds received from flow-through share issuances are initially recorded as share capital. Upon renouncing the expenditures, the amount of deferred tax on the expenditures is removed from share capital. Under U.S. GAAP, the premium paid for the flow-through shares in excess of market value is credited to liabilities and included in income when the Company renounces the related tax benefits. | ||
(d) | Recent accounting pronouncements | |
US GAAP | ||
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations. | ||
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations. |

15. | DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued) | |
(d) | Recent accounting pronouncements (continued) | |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. | ||
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations. | ||
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations. | ||
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations. |

Canadian GAAP | ||
On January 27, 2005, the CICA issued Section 3855 of the Handbook entitled Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. It expands Handbook Section 3860, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation by prescribing when a financial instrument to be recognized on the balance sheet and at what amount. It also specifies how financial instrument gains and losses are to be presented. All financial instruments will be required to be classified into various categories. Held to maturity investments and loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost with amortization of premium or discounts and losses and impairment included in current period interest income or expense. Held for trading financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair market value with all gains and losses included in net income in the period in which they arise. All available for sale financial assets are measured at fair market value with revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet and losses due to impairment included in net income. All other financial liabilities are to be carried at amortized cost. This new Handbook Section will bring Canadian GAAP more in line with U.S. GAAP. The mandatory effective date is for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. | ||
New CICA Handbook Section 3865, Hedges, provides alternative treatments to Handbook Section 3855 for entities which choose to designate qualifying transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. The effective date for this section is for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The Company does not currently have any hedging relationships. | ||
New CICA Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, introduces a requirement to temporarily present certain gains and losses outside of income. Section 1530 defines comprehensive income as a change in value of net assets that is not due to owner activities. Assets that are classified as available for sale will have revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet. In 2006, the Company had investments in shares of arm’s-length corporations that may be classified as available for sale investments. The Company would be required to recognize unrealized gains and losses on these securities and include these amounts in comprehensive income.
